An angling Th.rr

Alas, the angler is known by the
fishes he doesn't catch, or rather by the
fishes that escape. And they escape 50
numerously that IL they could be
nodded into one fish all the water in
ten such brooks could not cover the
composite specimen and the poor fish
would have to sit and fan itself with it's
tail and catch flies for dinner in its fins,
while nursing its long, dusty thirst
with patience and resignation. The
fish might yearn for an umbrella to
keep the sun off unless it were part
sunfsh, but it would not endeavor to
dodge a shower or a watering-pot. 1t
would be a big fish, would this one com
posed of all the fishes that the angler
catches not. 1t is almost unthinkable,
1t is like trying to figure out how many
boxes of sardines would be required to
make q whale.--N. Y. World.

Had to Work Their way.

"a great many years ago." said an
old army officer, 81 was stationed on
the government reservation at Kibisil-
lab, on the coast of Mendocino county.
About the only amusement had was
working tramps, and they were scarce.
The hills along the coast from Kibi-
sillah to Fort Bragg are very precip-
itous, and in those days there was
nothing but little trail that wound
along the sandy beach at the base Of
the bluff Whenever a tramp came
along and begged meal would eau
ton him against the dangers Of the
beach and warn him that the tide
might catch him most anywhere. Then,
to insure his safety, ! would strap
on him an old life-preseryer from
which ] had removed nearly all the
cork and substituted scrap iron. He
would carry that is miles to Fort
Bragg, and there friend of mine
would relieve him of it. In a day or
two I would see it coming up the trail
on the back of another tramp. don't
know how many hundreds Of miles
that scrap iron was carried, but il
was kept on the move the greater part
of year and a half."--San Francisco
Post.

DOWN IN THE PASTURE.


Down In tho pasture the dewberries grow
Black and shining and Juicy;
Down In the pasture we two used to so,
Driving the cows in the morning, you
know,
and the little girl Lucy,
Bright we're the mornings and golden her
hair
AS the first sunlight danced on IT.
Drifting like mlsts in the warm summer
air,
Hiding the neck that was tinted and bare.
Failing astray from her bonnet.
to the maid was leader OF men,
Proof against SANDER or malice.
Good to our minds was the summer world
then
She was but seven and counted ten.
And wore blue drilling "gallus."
Bare feet for both OF us pressed the grass,
There where the sweet williams fiow-
cred.
Quickly we brushed back the spiders gray
net,
Which as a guardian In the night she had
set,
Where the black dewberries covered.
Down In the pasture the dewberrlcs
CLEAN.
Black and shining and juicy,
And through the years that have gathered
seenf~
Backward to drift on the wings of dream
To the sweet little girl Lucy.
And the red cows. and the bars. and the
creek,
And the green willows careening,
And the young squirrels that play hide and
seek
These, as they unto my memory speak,
Cancel the time Intervening
Though the years come, and the years, too,
may go.
Yet shall l cherish tender
Thought of a pasture where dewberries
grow.
And a small maid with her face all aglow,
And boy with one suspender.

An English View.

The ticket nominated by the national
republican convention at st. Louis will
prove strong one in a manufacture
ing sections of the east, and in all locali-
ties where the financial question is not
understood. 1t is, however, essentially
the rich mans ticket. 1t will nowhere
have a strong hold upon the masses of
the people. If elected next November it
must be through the power of money at
the polls. The action of the convention
in adopting the financial plank Of the
platform was weak, unpatriotic and i'm
polite. 1t will give the democratic
party the opportunity Of a century to
ally itself with the interests of the
whole people, while the republican
party must stand as the protector of the
small class of rich men in the money
lending and importing branches of bust
ness. The meaningless statement in
the platform that the republican party
favors bimetallism under an interna-
tional agreement will deceive no one.
Dragging this section into the platform
was cowardly and insincere. BY the
nomination of Mckinley and Hobart
and the adoption of gold standard
plank in the platform the republican
party has abandoned the highest and
best interests OF the American people,
and its managers will have no just cause
TO complain if the voters of the country
express their Indignation at such treat
ment at the polls next November.--Lon-
don Times
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1896-09-05

There is the same old phraseology
about protecting the American pro.
ducer and the home market and mains
tanning the wages Of labor; but there
is the utmost solicitude not to hint that
the Mckinley tariff or any measure Of
that sort will be put upon the statute
book. 1t is very clear that they are
afraid Of it, just as some Of the lead
ing men Of the party Morrill,, Sherman
and others--have openly declared they
are. Yet SO far as nomination can go
they have committed the party to the
renewal of this discredited measure
which the people have unsparingly con-
demned and for which the shrewdest
men in the party have no manner Of
use Detroit Free Press.

higher bough. The boy took the cheruh
by the shoulders and shook her va
hemently.
"Ef you don't tell me VOLTS all about

"Bawlin' an bawlin' like as II anyone
had murdered you! TT it hadn't been
for you, Milly, you might have 'ad q

The cherub found new speech. She
opened her mouth, She dug her soft
fists in her eyes. She suffered with ex.
cess of feeling.
"Milly 'anted = see pig killed." she
painted. "Dad take Lithey m Bob y sec

"Poohl" said the boy, "is that all I
'Tain't much to see. Don't you never
mind that It's Ollie messy for little

But Milly was a new young woman,
and she cared not to obtain her ex-
periences of pig-killing secondhand;
so she howled with augmented grief
and vigor. The boy took different
tack; he stopped short, knelt in the
road and put an arm about her.
There, now" he persuaded, "don'tee
ky now. Billy's ducky! Billy 'ull buy
a great enormous apple and Milly sh'll
ave bite"
Milly rather liked this, but she did
not mean to surrender all at once. She
came down from the top of howl to a
subdued whine. She rubbed her nose
and shifted. Then she proceeded to
make terms.
"A big bite?v she demanded, in a
voice intended to stir the deepest pity.
But Billy having conjured his vision OF
an apple found it good. 1t were wise
to make reservations.
"One big bite or two little 'uns," he
stipulated.

submitted, holding the back of mot
tied wrist in readiness should tears be

"Not the weeniest," said Billy, hastily,
then rejecting, "but shall hold the ap.

Billy deliberated. He held up dirty

luctantly, for Milly had begun shifting
again.
At this assurance Milly smiled-the
smile of Machiaveli. Then stopped
and pulled up pair of socks, thick,
mother-knitted socks, so many sizes too
big for her that they slipped persistent
ly about her boots. She hitchcd the
cleastic of her hat behind her ears and
rammed the crown down firmly on her
curls. She caught her brot' er by tb>

Want McKinley's Views.

Mark Hanna is vehemently anxious t.
have Mr.. Mckinley elected president Of
the United States. We have not YET
heard of the proposition upon which
this end is sought. For long time
both candidate and his manager and
mouthpiece endeavored to keep the
tariff question in the foreground. They
would not admit that any other issue
was Of Importance. They chung to the
tariff with such hysterical fervor as
to prompt the suspicion in some minds
that they took interest In that alone.
But the time has now come for plain
speech and definite explanation. The
people want to know whether Mr.. Nc
Kinley is sincere in the advocacy Of the
one policy which touches them. Wash

euphonious, but the truth remains that
as doubtless he howled in the childhood
of his race. The noise increased-a We
hement protest in infantile key. There
was u flutter of wings, a tremor of
leaves, then silence. In the animal
world curiosity is rife, and many tiny
creature, heart in mouth, peeped from
behind leafy cover. For this bowler
had good lungs. Presently she came in
sight. The winged folk swallowed their
hearts; she was but a girl-child. But
the creeping things hurried from the
boots that were to them as brace of
steam-rollers.
She was an ngelic-looking person of
some four years old. She had a halo of
golden curls about her face, which was
soft and chubby. Her eyes were blue
and limpid, more limpid than usuaJ by
yirture Of her tears. Her rosy lips were
widely parted revealing double row of
pearls set as in ruby cupid-bow, and
out Of this treasure house issued fra
grant breath and wild hubbub. Had
she but told her grief in tears alone,
then had she been mistaken for some
seraph astray. But her voice was es-
sentially creature of earth.
A boy, some two years older, at
tempted comfort. He had her by the
hand and jerlSed her at intervals.
"Ef you won't say naught aboutwhat
you're grislin' for, nobody can't do
nothink,' he broke out, hotly, for they
had come to the end of the lane, and
still she howled The cherub must have
been something of a grammnrian, for
she plainly unraveled positive state
ment out of this tangle of knots. She
must also have been something of q
logician, for its reason appealed to her
Her crying diminuendoed into sobs.
Once more you would have taken her
for an infant angel. The boy jerked
her again-not unkinGly, but with mas
culine imperativeness and impotence.
"Wot's it all about?" he insisted.
The sobs came softly. twas obvious,
from an intelligent CLEAN in the cher
ub's eye, that she knew what it was all
about; but at four narration of fact,
howsoever simple--and no doubt she
desired to state her case WELLS some
what Of an undertaking. She whim-
pered under the embarrassment Of
words that teasedsher. Yet again the
boy jerlsed her, Stimulating speech.

The cherub shook her head. The curl
ing gold danced emphatically in the
sunlight, while pugilistic glance pro-
claimed her ability to deal with any
body bold enough to hit her. M
"Fall down."
Again she shook her head, this time
contemptuously. Surely he might have
known such grief as hers had no such
commonplace origin. He stopped and
picked a stone. lie was losing interest
In the cherub's mourning. He poised
his hand. An early robin with brand
new waistcoat had hoped dangerously
low, uttering crisp, CHEEKY snlutntions.
The cherub, womnnlike, detecting the
wane Of her brothers interest, showed
symptoms Of renewed grief. The boy

Events are shaping themselves in o
way to vindicate Mr.. Platt's judgment
as to the chief issue Of the campaign
and McKinley's fitness to stand upon
that issue. With extraordinary obtuse
ness, Mr.. Mckinley continues to infic;
upon people interested solely in the
money question his one speech on the
tariff, filled as 1t is with false asser.
