called him in. The Dr. had not the
necessary remedies with him for

lief possible under the circumstances.
The girl hair were burned off, and
her head. shoulders and hips severely
scorched. but the doctor reports her
injuries not fatal.

Fresh Air.

We hear many wholesome instruc-
tions upon the Importance of culti-
waiting cheerful temper. But too
often it is assumed that it is simply
an affair of resolution. and that all
You have to do is to resolve to be
cheerful and you will be. We have
come to learn that mental states arc
very closely connected with physical
causes. The wit who answered the
questions: is life worth living?"

liver. gave utterance to a profound
truth. You tell me that | ought to

wives need vastly more than tonics
with which they dose themselves is
more fresh air. After the children
have gone to school, let the mother
put on her sack and bonnet, and spend
an hour in the open air. 1t is an
excellent time to look in for a mo-
ment on a friend who lives mile or
two away. What if the housework
is not done }? 1t will be dispatched
with equal speed and better heart an

be the added advantage that when
the husband returns at night he will
be greeted by a smiling face and a

Dear Sir
| note the Globe Democrat S inter
view with you published Feb. 2lst.
and agree with you in regard to the
hopeless division on the currency
question in the Democratic rank. But
Thea" draw the line. And ask you
rs the present leader of the Republi-
can party for the Fourteenth district
oi Missouri, to not introduce a ques-
tion in our party that will divide Us,
No division can be indulyed in on
minor questions by the Republicans
in this State without inviting defeat
at the polls. | speak not only for
myself bat for the Republicans of
New Madrid county, when l say the
discussion of this currency question
and the consequent division thereon
should be left to the Democrats and
Populists. Give them q monopoly
. of it. The Democratic party is not
only whipped on the tariff question
but they are completely routed. We
must not get intoxicated over our
prospective victory and lay aside any
of the weapons we have used to their
discontinue. There are men in the
Republican ranks in this district whc
are true bimetalists, men who re-,
fuse to bend the knee to the golC
standard. men old-fashioned enouxi
in their views to believe IL deb,
should be paid in the same
measure of value that existed wher
the debt was contracted, men who
battied in the Republican ranks il
Missouri while you were Il school boy
in Illinois.
We protest against the introduc
tion of new issues, we are for tariff
on protective lines, with the recipro
cal features which were a part of the
Mckinley bill; we are for the pro
lection of American Labor and are
opposed to the issue of interest bear
ing bonds in time of peace by the gen
eral government; we are for the pay
ment of just debts in honest dollar.
and we also believe that this currency
question will right itself as soon a'
the government at Washington re
ceives enough from revenue to pay
its running expenses, and pay inter
est on the public debt. If we diife
in minor questions let us discus.

ventions are through their work

There are no ills in life that cannot
be overcome with proper training,
says a noble writer Darkness new

Oklahoma is noted for having a
very lax divorce law and people have
been fiocking there from all over the
