A little four leaved clover.
TITS luck for thee and luck for me


If o lover can find two four leaved
to eat one while he swallows the other.
mutual love is sure to result.
The four leaved clover brings mys-
FERROUS powers with it if it is found on
ST. Johns eve, they say in the Tyrol.
Like fern seed, it can render the wearer
invisible at will and gives especial good
fortune in gambling. If clover is con-
cealed in gift, it will enhance its
value. A German proverb says Of q
lucky man. "Er hat Elm vierblaettriges
kleeblatt gefunden" C''He has found a
four leaved clover").
The fact that its four leaves are ar
ranged in the form Of cross gives it its
significance One who wears q bit of it
can detect the presence Of evil spirits.
While the four leaved clover is said
by tradition to possess q weird magic
influence, the three leayed is looked
upon more i'll. the light of religious
symbol. Shakespeare's Rosalird asks.
'Can one desire too much Of a good
thing" and may be answered, "Yes, in
respect to clover leaves" for, notwith
standing the wonderful virtues every
where ascribed to the four leaved clover,
the finder of the five leaved will have
bad luck.
Even the two leaved clover is not un-
regarded, but has its legend, and the
lucky maid who secures one is by its
influence enabled to see her future lover.
The lowliest blossoms have Away,
called forth the poets praises, and even
Shakespeare alludes to the clover Il.

bees revel in its sweetness. james

Kansas POpuliSt Platform.

"Reafirming our faith in the Peoples party
and its principles, we invite the alliance and
cooperation Of all reform elements Of the
state and nation, to the end that a union of
all voters may be formed to oppose the gold
standard and the European level Of prices; we
call the attention Of the American people to
the fact, proved by many trials, that changes
from one party to the other have brought no
relief from the burdens. under which the
people are struggling, but thaton the contrary
conditions have constantly grown worse; and
we.ask all lovers Of their country to unite
with us in an honest and earnest effort for
relief.
First-We are in favor Of the strictest hon.
esty and economy in the administration of
the government, both state and national.
Second-We are 10 favor of the overthrow
and destruction Of all mOnopOhes and COM
pines organized for the plumber and oppression
OF the people
Third-We demand strict and effective con-
troll and supervision by government of all cor
porations performing pubic or quasi-public
functions, and If necessary, to protect public
interests the ownership by government of all
public utilities.
FOurth-We demand that the president and
the secretary of the treasury be deprived of
the power to issue or sell bonds without the
authority Of congress being first given for
each separate issue
Fifth-"e believe thatall the money of the
country, whether coin or paper, should be is
sued by the government and not by CORPORA
tions or by individuals
Sixth-We demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold and silver at the ratio of
sixteen to one, independent Of the action of
any other nation, and we believe that the
United states is capable Of maintaining such
financial system as will promote the pros
perlty OF its own people, without asking the
consent OF any other government
.Seventh-We demand that the constitutional
right OF trial by jury shall be extended to ey-
cry form Of action, whether civil or criminal,
and We denounce the trial of our citizens by
injunction and contempt proceedings without
the right of trial by jury as contrary to the
spirit Of our constitution.

WOULD QUIT THE PARTY.

"If the Republican party 10 its ma
tional convention next year declares
for free silver, l will absolutely refuse
to become its candidate for the presi-
dency, should have the chance. and
| will quit the party forever"
One Of the company, although not
authorized IT, do so, lost no time in
relating this incident to an Ohio
newspaper correspondent then in The
city watching the boom, and next
morning the story was published in
scores OF cities throughout the Uuion.
Before the lunch hour that day be.
tween seventy and eighty kilograms
Of inquiry came to Governor Mckinley
from friends and from Republican pol
iticians all over the country. Most OF
them wanted to know if he had been
correctly reported while Others ecu.
sured him for thus throwing away
his chance" Of a nomination. None
Of them was ever answered, although
such inquiries continued to pour in
by mail and telegraph for full week.
As far as CAL be learned Major Nc
Kinley himself never affirmed or de-
MED the story, but others present
have from time to time vouched for
the correctness OF it.
WILL HE REPEAT IT?
Just at this time, when efforts are
being made In some quarters to put
Ex-Governor Mckinley a-straddle Of
the money question, this incident has
a peculiar significance. There was no
likelihood then nor is there now that
the Republican National Convention
will declare for free coinage, so il
didn't require vast amount Of nerve

LOTS OF ADVICE.

LOTS OF ADVICE.
The Mckinley party was the center
of great deal of Republican interest
from one end Of the country to the
other. Flom most of the nearby
Southern States there were daily pill
grimageS of Republicans who sought
to worship at the Mckinley shrine
and to climb into front seats in the
Ohio mans band wagon. The mails
brought him hundreds Of letters from
Republicans the Democrats alike,
most of them giving advice for the
conduct of the boom or for shaping a
policy. These letters afforded a lot
of amusement to the Ohio statesman
and his friends, and one OF them
brought outan unexpected declaration
from him-a statement that was at
once startling and sensational, al
though made in the comparatively
private circle of Mark Hams glass
walled and kite-shapped smoking
room.
This particular letter was a bulky
document in big, ofiiclal-lOOking en-
velOpe. 1t was opened by State Ii
brarian Smith, who read it aloud in a
half serious, half grandiloQuent man
ner, while the others smoked and lis
tened. 1t was a sort Of syndicate
AFFAIR." regularly framed letter to
Governor Mckinley, signed by a self
constituted committee of Georgia Re-
publlcans in Atlanta, and Endorsed
by few hundred free-coinage GeOr-
gians and Alabamans of both political
parties.
1t suggested to the Ohio Governor
that he then and there publicly de-
clare himself in favor of the free COIN
age Of silver:
''1f you do" the letter explained,
you will not only capture the Georgia
delegation to the National Republican
convention and probably those of
half dozen other Southern states
but you will stand a good fighting
chance Of securing the ELECTORAL vote
Of Georgia at the November election
In 1896. Moreover, the trend of Re
publican sentiment is now toward
free coinage by the National conven-
ton; and your coming out sQuarely
for it now would blaze the way for a
free coinage platform, and make you
the natural, logical and unconquera-
BILE candidate of the party"
This was not the exact phraseology
of the letter, but 1t was this in SUBJ
stance.
AS Mr.. Smith finished the reading,
all the company except Mr.. Mckinley
burst into a laugh, but the Governor
seemed to take rather a serious view
Of the proposition. He arose from
