WHY NOT WATTERSON?

1T seems to us that the suggestion
OF Col. Henry Watterson as the nomi-
nee of the Indianapolis convention is
a particularly happy thought. The
Colonel is perhaps more out of tune
with his party than any of the discords
who will be present or represented on
that occasion. He denounced the or
ganization in 1892 for it's folly in per-
hitting the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He let down his hair and look.
ed like Cassaundra, daughter of He
cuba and Priam, as she invoked calam-
ity upon Troy. He saw visions of
SHAMELESS, abattoirs, and yawning
graves. He twanged bleding harp
and sang of woes and cataclysms dire.
His party had gone daft. 1t was a
recreant thing. He threw ashes in his
hair and hung his heavens in black.
What makes him still more eligible,
he has never changed his tune from
that day to the present. He is not only
outside of the party now, but he has
been outside of it for years. While
Bynum, Cochran, Dickinson, Gallery,
Cable, Villas, and Palmer were feeding
contentedly at the trough, he sat
apart and scowled and muttered to
himself. Compared with him the rest
of them are mere pulling novices of

OUT FOR THE GAME.

From every place they're speaking:
You cannot find a spot
From Billville down to Smithvile town
Where an orator is mott
It's speak, speak, speak!
While the rusty farm gates creak;
Oh, the fellows want the office, if it's
Fifty cents a week!
The hot sun cannot hurt them
They never fear a stroke;
They break the news to people,
And all are mostly ''broke."
It's speak, speak, speak!
While the rusty farm gates creak;
oh, the fellows want the office, if it's
Fifty cents a week!

WHEN GOLD WAS FIRST A UNIT

The act of February 70, 1878, drop
ped the dollar of 371A grains of pure
silver from the list of coins and left
the coinage system without a unit"
To supply the deficiency it was en-
acted that among the gold coins should
be "a one-dollar piece, which at the
standard weight of rs $40 grains, shall
be the unit of value" This was the
first time that the gold dollar was
mentioned as unit" TO mark the
new departure the order of naming
the gold coins was changed. Instead
of beginning with the largest denomi-
nation, as in all previous acts, and
going to the lowest, the act of 1873 be-
gins with the dollar and goes up to
the double eagle.-Cleveland Plain

policy No. s,92s in your company.
wish to express to you my hearty
thanks. My policy was for $4,000,
and on your Life Rate Endowment
Plan paid you but the Ordinary Life
Premium, just the same as / would
have paid any of the other leading
companies for a policy to be paid only
at death, and yet your profits have
been so large that in a little over %
years it has matured for an amount
over the $4,000, and thus / have an
Endowment Policy of Ordinary Life
Rates.
1 am greatly pleased at my good for
tune. No other company known TO me
gives such a contract, or secures such
results. l carry policies in a number
of the leading companies, but | have
none whose results compare with this.
l am glad that my own city of Gin
cinnati is the home of such an institu-
ton as the Union Central Life Insur-
ance Company, and as citizen am
proud of it. / am,
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE FISHER.
For the cost of policy on your life
