MRS. yILsON's AMBITION.
She Wants to See q Cartoon of Mr..
Bryan Realistically Presented.

Bryan Realistically Presented.
"You ought to go about the country more.
and then you would not be SO sure OF the
election of Mckinley" said Mrs. Jilson. Il
see many of the newspaper men from
Washington have said that Bryan is going
to carry this state and that state, more
than enough to elect him, 1 am sure"
"Humph." Jilson grunted In his most dis
agreeable manner.
"Oh, 1 know" continued Mrs. Jflson airi-
ly, you think you know as much as they
do, but you don't. / know Bryan Ia going
to be elected, and I'm glad OF it,
Jilson said nothing.
And just hope ne will ride right UP to
the White House and the Capitol on that
dear little donkey he has been riding sbou;

he is not a bit proud. and that his nice little
donkey is better than the comic papers

And Mrs. Jilson defiantly nodded her head

THE SUNDAY GALL

One of the most striking features of to-
morrow's issue of The CALL will be the
experience OF three San Francisco girls in
Paris, their shopping tour of the world
famous Bon Marche, their experiences
with the stranger in long coat and large
neckwear, who attempts to firt with the
chaperone on the boulevards. There are
several fine illustrations with this.
sketches from the life made in Paris bv
the San Francisco girl who signs herself
Ivan Dyke Brown" Both the pictures
and the letter-press are in the height of
their respective arts, and aside from this
are light and graceful.
The San francisco summer girl will be
handsomely and accurately portrayed both
IN picture and verse. There is a yery
humorous but entirely true story of the
man who ate 10,o50 beefsteaks consecn-
lively; sprightly written account of
what is probably the youngest artist in
the world, a remarkably precocious infant
OF Folsom street, who draws excellent
pictures on the sidewalks and on the dead
walls, though but years of age, and is
the wonder of the neighborhood; and
there are host of other very attractive
features, nearly all of which are splen-
didly illustrated.

THE FRATERNITY OF BARRIERS.

The iourneymen BARRIERS of San Fran
cisco have rights, and they propose to
maintain them. And not only So but they
propose to introduce quite a number OF
much needed reforms. For this purpose
they aim at effecting a new organization,
and as soon asitis completed, which will be
by charter from the International Union,
they will make the effort to close all shops
at P. NJ. on weekdays, and not open at
all on Sundays. This is right move in
right direction. There is no sense at all in
keeping harber-shops open in the evening
until all opportunity for recreation and
amusement is lost; besides, BARRIERS who
have families should not be deprived of the
pleasure of spending their evenings at
home any more than any other men.
But there are still other reasons why it
IS desirable that the organization should
be. A lee of 81 to SIS is now charged to pro-
cure journeyman a situation, and very
naturally the one paying S. has better
ledge" than those who pay less. This
would seem to be rank discrimination.
The new organization will make uniform
charge OF % cents for registering an appli-
cation for job, while efficiency and faith
fulness to duty will be the only security
needed to hold one in his position. The
society will have the additional feature of
sick fund and an employment bureau.

make good rallying song for Silver Dick,
because the untutored mind would get the
idea that he is too big for any walk that
ala not lead straight to the White House.
Mr.. Bland is exceedingly anxious to be in
oorsed by all the State conventions that
are yet to be held, but who will indorse
the conventions? Certainly not the voters
OF the United States. Their good common
sense teaches them that it is better for the
country that the people pass by on the
other side of BANDS ultra free-trade
doctrine.
NO one will dispute the right of Missouri
tree-trade Bourbons getting together and
resolving that Bland is the logical candi-
date OF the Democratic party for Presi-
dent, only that the word logical is forced
out OF its proper place in the construction
OF sentence that is intended to convey
Democratic idea. However, Bland is
representative Democrat. He knows SO
very little about the science of Govern
ment that he is as liable TO think that

and then comes the ordinary communion SER
vice, at which bread and wine are served.
Their houses of worship are built with fully
equipped kitchens in the Easements and sleep
ing accommodations in the attics, so that these
love feasts may last for several days and be at
tended by brethren from distance.
"You may do anything you please with these
DEVILS Lake and Red River Dunkers and they
won't go to law. To their mind a lawyer is a
thing of the Devils own invention-a disturber
and a strer up of strife. Any trouble the
Dunkers have is always settled by the church
dignitaries.
"a bunker won't bear arms, either, or belong
to a secret society. He is q man of peace, in
dustrious, honest, eschewing gossip and dress
ing in the plainest way. The Dunkers there
part their hair in the middle and let their
beard grow-it is their religion TO do so. The
Dunkers wear SLOUGH hat and the plainest of
clothes for the same reason. The garb of the
bunker woman is also plain and severe. There
are no milliners among them, for each woman
makes her own hat, and as no fea theirs or other
ornamentation is allowed this is simple mat
ter. The wearing of jewelry is strictly forbid
den.
"These Dunkers are very valuable citizens
for North Dakota, and they are receiving
hearty welcome there. No country can have
too much honesty, and these people are honest
and straightforward beyond any class of set
tiers we have ever had.
"There has been rush of Dunkers to DEVILS
Lake for three years now, and the rush this
year is the biggest we have ever had. Theyar
coming in by trainloads, bringing their goods
along. Many have arrived in time to put in a
full crop of the different kinds of grain and
other products.
Though queer people from the standpoint
of most persons, they certainly possess great
virtues, and this is why they are being warmly
welcomed in North Dakota"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-13
AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

John Sebastian of DEVILS Lake, North Dakota
who is extensively engaged in wheat-growing
in that vicinity and throughout the Red River
Valley, is in the City. He says that during
the last few months there has been an enor-
nous rush of the members of the queer sect
known as the DunKers to that part OF North
Dakota.
The exodus is mainly from Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, though some come from the
Southern States. Mr.. Sc astiansays that about
three years ago a committee was sent out from
the old bunker settlements to find lands for
young Dunkers. They selected six counties
in the DEVILS Lake region, and then word was
passed along in the old colonies that a prom
1sed land had been found.
That was all the assurance the enthusiastic
Dunkers wanted. They never thought OF the
cold nor of cyclones, for they are fairly well
acquainted with them, but considered only the
deep black soil of the Dakota prairies.
sit is the great desire of the Dunkers to own
big farm" said Mr.. Sebastian, $50 when they
learned that they could get land for but little
more tuan the Government price there was
hegira to that section. A bunker doesn't care
for hard work, coarse clothing and plain food.
"He wants a big barn, plenty of fat stock,
a great farmhouse full of children and to be
comfortable and enjoy the attendance on his
religious services.
"They are honest, God-tearing people. How
ever, many of their religious ceremonies seem
odd to the stranger, especially the washing OF
feet, which is regularly practiced during the
great love feasts or revivals. The bishops and
elders go about cleansing the feet of the breth-
rem, and the sisters wash one another's feet
The ceremony is concluded by extending the
right hand of fellowship and by exchanging
the kiss of brotherly love. In the church the
sexes are separated, and so this does not mean
that there is indiscriminate kissing among
the men and women. The men are very sedate.
"There is another strange thing about these
ceremonies, and that is that after the washing
of feet hearty meal is served in the church,

THE FIRST VOTE.

Be sure you are right, then 60 ahead "
is the best advice that can be given the
young man who will cast his first vote
next November. Association and home
influence have good deal to do in deter
mining what is right with most young
people and, perhaps, it is best that it
should be SO. but the time comes now and
then when the young man should rise
above traditions and inherited opinions
and be thinker unto himself. Every
young man expects to become factor in
the worlds business Efe-in a profession
or otherwise-and he should know that
next to his integrity the question of how
the best possible conditions for the en-
couragement of the enterprise in which he
ventures may be established and main
tanned is the leading one.
He must not eschew politics in its higher
meaning, for IL is the science of govern
ment. He must eschew politics in it's
lower meaning, for it leads to individual
and community degradation. But he
must, he is obliged by the terms of his
citizenship, to be politician to the extent
at least OF being a student of the phiIoso-
ply OF politics that he may know what is
the best and what is the worst thing the
community could do to strengthen its
social fabric and commercial highways.
Rightly engaging in practical politics is
applying common sense business princi-
pies upon high ethical lines to the con.
duct of the affairs of the community as
whole, to the end that the influence of
hurtful factors may be minimized. 1t is
incumbent upon every man to be that
kind OF an active, practical politician.
When the first voter sets about analyzing
the weak and strong spots in existing con-
ditions he very naturally comes to some
conclusion as to how the weak and dan
gerous places may best be remedied, and
it is right here that he is likely to let SEN
timent overshadow judgment But he
need be at no loss for reliable data. Prior
to 1860 the growth of the Nations wealth
was slow, spasmodic and uncertain. This
was necessarily so because the monetary
system OF the country was based upon the
honesty, or rather the dishonesty, of what
were called wildcat banks. The circu-
lating money medium of the country was
always subject to the widest fluctuations.
There was no stability anywhere in the
business world, and in the eighty-iye pre-
ceding years the Nation had accumulated
but little wealth, comparatively speaking.
In the three decades following 1860 the
Republican party conducted the affairs of
the Nation, and in those thirty years it
increased the wealth of the country nearly
four times over and by its wise admins
tration of the public affairs of the people
nearly $4,000, 100000 was induced to find
employment in the construction of rail
ways alone. Not only so, but enterprises
for the manufacture of nearly every
known quality and kind of merchantable
goods and wares sprang up in every State.
There was waiting employment for all
who chose to work, and at the end OF the
three decades more working people in the

Deserted, alone;
All It's old time companions
To kindlings have gone.
No car of her kindred
Nor carette-is nigh
To re-echo her rumble
And give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To rust and decay.
Since the rest have DEPARTED
will send thee away.
Go thou to the wood-pile;
On its splintery bed
Thy mates are reclining,
All useless and dead.
And mourn not that thou must
Be broken and burned,
But rejoice in the sum of
The fares thou hast earned;
For, at best, every life is
Like seed that is sown,
To flourish and blossom
And perish, alone. Chicago Record.
