The free silver craze has reached it's
high-water marx, and from the Bryan
notification meeting in New York last
week, the tide has been receding. The
ebb tide will be more marked as the
campaign progresses, and the issues are
plainly presented for the consideration of
the people. Senator John Sherman
opened the campaign in Ohio on Satur-
day last, in mastery speech at Colum-
bus, in which he gave complete history
of our coinage laws, with the reasons for
making gold the standard of value by
the law of 1884, and then reviewing the
history of the Democratic party in its
utterances and attitude on the side of the
gold standard. He also reviewed the
history of the act of 1878, now referred
to generally as the demonstration of
silver, showing the measure to have been
carefully prepared by the Treasury De-
partment and fully considered in Con-
gress for three years, and supported in
it's passage by the very men from the
West who are now the most rabid free
silver advocates. He declared that the
great law of demand and supply affects
the value of silver the same as it does of
iron, copper and zinc, and that the at
tempt to make silver the sole standard of
valne would precipitate disaster in the
commercial world, fact so apparent
that no one has the hardihood to contra
dict it. Senator Sherman has long been an
authority on finance, and what he says is
entitled to weight, both because OF his
ability and large experience. He will be
found safer guide than the upstarts,
who affect to know more than is in the
books and to discount experience when it
comes to questions of finance and state
craft. The we'll beaten paths of national
and individual honesty will be found the
safest in these times of financial distrust

apparently on account of a cinder or
something of the kind which had lodged
there.

like her mother, and her husband is

81 remember, sir, the day 1 bought

new one in five year, and, sir, she was
so pleased when 1 brought it home that
she kissed me. Yes, sir, kissed me, and
we'd been done with that sort of thing
for years. Not that we didn't love one

deep that there want no froth nor
bubbles on the surface; no need of

The baggageman nodded. He won

round and round and the trunk made

hour yet to wait. Come in to the lunch

The young girls walked away arm in

with her embroidered handkerchief.

It happened that the four were seated
near each other in the train going up
the branch. The old man was weary,
and he tucked his old hat into the cor
ner by the window frame, and, dropping
his head upon it, was soon fast asleep.
Though the day was chilly, he bad

A little, Old-faShlOned hair C1Unkv
studded with brass nails, stood In tho
baggage car, and the baggageman gave
1t a vicious fling out upon the platform.
The old man WINGED as the trunk struck
the platform, and he FASTENED his steps
as if to protect it. Too late! Like the
old man, it was weak with age, and its
sides parted at the shock, and the cover
flew up from the back as the hinges
broke.
A groan burst from the old mans lips.
and with trembling hands he began to
tumble helplessly at the garments,
which, loosened from their close pack
ing, had rolled out upon the platform.
"That your trunk, daddy? Sorry
hustled it for you, but Tad there, he'll
fix it up for you, good as ever" cried
the baggageman. He was not bad
fellow when he was not In hurry, and
was really sorry.
"Going mp the branch, hey?" said the
stationmaster at the Office. swell, just
you wait minute, there plenty OF
time, and I'll get rope. Jim's little
too fresh when he gets hold of an old
piece of baggage, but we'll have it all
right in jiffy."
The young people stood by, quite con-
vulsed with merriment, as the old man
bent over his scattered property, tears
of distress stealing down his aged face.
A woman's faded wrapper, an old bon
net with black satin strings, each care
fully rolled up and pinned, and pair
of shoes even more worn than those
upon the old mans feet, lay on the plat
form, and he was trying to fold up q
faded plaid shawl when the baggage
man came back with rope.
Here, let me do this, pappy," he said,
kindly. you're all unstrung, and I'm
nsed to this kind of business" He
would have taken the shawl, but the old
man resisted.
81 can't" he said, his cracked voice
trembling with emotion. Mother had
it round her shoulders when she died.
You're kind, mister, but it seems like
can't let nobody touch her things but
me. We lived together 40 years; just
one more would "a been our golden
wedding, though we amt never had
much gold or silver in our lives; but the
good Lord took her, and these clothes
is all I've got left of her. We took this
trunk with us on our wedding journey,
and thought it would last to carry her
things this last time. Scent like
'twouldn't be all right to put 'em into
a new, strange trunk that didn't know
her."
The merriment had all gone out of
the faces of the two young girls and the
young man turned away and walked
to the end of the platform.

After Capsley was through laughing
10 himself he consented to tell us the
reason for his hilarity.
II have two old uncles visiting me.
One is SO and bachelor AID the other
81 and widower. Their conversation
is of the courtly character that pre-
vailed in the earlier part of the century,
and neither the theater nor the club
has any attraction for me when l can
get within earshot of those old fell
lows. Last evening they thought them
selves alone and positively grew senti-
mental in reviewing the experiences
of some of their younger days.

and even the silly young man, with his
high collar and low stock of good sense,
met with more respect from the con-
-ductor than this aged man.
The old man was intensely funny to
the trio on the lookout for amusement,
and wit, such as it was, circulated free
ly at his expense.
The young people were to change cars
at the next station, riding few hours
on branch road, and the train was

yalisc on the seat beside him.
They had looked out of the window
until they were tired OF that, han
chaffed the newsboy and asked the
brakemen nonsensical questions until
they had earned q sharp answer from
each, and were now left with only the
other passengers to furnish material
ior fun.
At the next stop an old man came In
"a shabby, very shabby old man. He
took a seat near the young people, and
they seized upon him as legitimate
object for sport. He took off his bat
tered old hat, and they giggled over the
wen on top of his head, over which his
struggling gray hairs were carefully
combed. They found material for fun
in the wisp of gray beard on the aged
face, and in everything he wore, clean
down to the cracked shoes on his feet,
from which a knitted blue sock was
trying to peep.
The old mans eyes were bleared and
red, and he leaned heavily on his cane
as the conductor came in. His voice was
cracked, and shrill, too, as he asked
questions, while the official punched his
ticket and looked at him as if he would
gladly send him into the second-class
car if his ticket were not first-class.
The roar Ct the train dulled his hear
ing, and he held his trembling hand be-
bind his ear to catch the conductors

The Newest Petticoats Abound in Many
Ruffies.
The latest skirts abound in ruff1es.
One big ruffie often hides five or six
smaller ones, and the whole petticoat
looks as though it were made more for
skirt dancing than ordinary wear. All
the skirts are cut umbrella fashion, and
are usually tight across the hips. The
deepest ruffle is apt to meas Ire IA
inches, and the others vary from this in
depth to tiny foot ruffle of two inches.
Groupings of fine tucks are much used
in the new skirts.
Besides the white skirts of nainsooll
and fine cambria, there are many of
delicately colored batiste trimmed with
both lace insertion and lace frills, but
these colored skirts are only suitable
for home wear.
Each year the silk skirts, so dear to
the feminine heart, grow more elab-
crate, and, consequently, more expen-
sive. But no longer must they rustic

Mr.. Whoopla and Mr.. Gayboy took a
lively interest in the campaign. They
had been to a political meeting up in
Harlem, and after the meeting they
had some oysters and wine with few
friends, so it was about three o'clock
in the morning when they started for
home. Next day they met and Gaybo
asked:
"Well, Whoopla, did you get home all
right?"
