Gold-Rug Consistency.

What beautiful consistency we en-
counter in the speeches of the repub-
lican stump orators this year. They
tell us that the silver mine owner
under free silver, will grow suddenly
and enormously wealthy because he
will be able to take his bullion to the
mint and have So cents worth of it
coined into a 1OO-cent dollar" Then
in the next breath they bemoan the
fact that the old soldier will have to
take his pension in 53-cent dollars. If
the mine owner gets a 100 cent dol
lar why won't the pensioner? If the
silver dollar paid the old soldier is
worth but So cents then the one the
mine owner gets will only be worth 50
cents--Concordia Kansan.

History Will Record the Fact That the Les
son Was Taught by the Peoples Party.
Since 1860 there has been nothing,
in the way of a political campaign. to
compare with the struggle now on.
With the forcing of the money ques-
ton came the breaking up of party
lines, the first real essential step in the
government reforms now needed. So
long as men vote and act indie pendent-
ly there is hope. 1t is a conceded fact
that more democrats have broken
away from their party's nominee than
ever before, while the revolt in the re-
publican camp is even more pro-
nounced. This breaking up of party
associations means more freedom and
a new or complete realignment of po.
litical parties. 1t will be the making
of a precedent for voters in the future.
1t forebodes no evil, but much good.
Bryan will be elected president of
the United States and will inaugurate
such reforms as will send a chill of
horror into the boots of the usurv
lords. His policy will awake a SUM
berinr people to sense of their true
greatness, and seeing their oppre ssors
on the retreat, they will become bold
in reasserting their rights. 1t is known
that when a man once breaks the fet-
tiers of partvism he is never again it's

now disband- AS yet it is a mooted
question as to whether our mission has
been fulfilled or not. Should the next
few years experience with the demo-
cratic party justify a disbanding of the
peoples party it's mem bers will always
be on the alert, and, should it ever be-
come necessary, they will be the first
to lead a revolt The efforts of the
peoples party have not been lost. The
historian in years to come will record
the fact that the lesson of 1896 was
taught by the populist party.-Louis-

CHAPIEh ll.-IONTINCED.
His wife, who had risen from her
chair at the end of the balcony, was al
ready moving toward the table. With
a quick movement he seized her wrist
and threw her back into the chair again.
A cry broke from her lips as she rec

he stepped quickly between her and the
astonished crowd. -
There was a moment of silence, then
the cry of "Spy" and "Seize him rose
quickly, but above all the voice and
figure of the Missourian was heard
commanding them to stand back.
Turning to Clarence, he said, quickly:
81 should know your face, sir. Who
are you?"
''The husband of this woman and the
master of this house." said Clarence, as
quickly, but in a voice he hardly recog-
nized as his own.
'"Stand aside from her, then, unless
you are hoping that her danger may
protect you," said the Kentuckian, sig

A Texas Swing.

Mr.. r. B. Zimmerman, of Warren,
has what is probably the highest swing
in Texas. The frame is made Of pine
logs seventy-eight feet long. which are
set in the ground eight feet, making the
swing seventy feet high. The cross
piece is six by six inches, heart, and is
fastened to the top Of the upright pieces
in such way as to be as strong as II
the frame was all of one piece. On the
north side of the swing is pole forty
two feet high, at the top Of which is 4
pulley. The person who wishes to
swing is strapped in, If he or she de-
sires, and then takes hold of one end
Of the rope, the other end of which Is
run through the pulley and fastened
to a team of horses. The horses are
started off and the swinger Is pulled
to the top of the pole. When the top IS
reached he drops the rope and is at
once launched into space, sometimes 60

side from the pole. One turn at the

Norway Spruce.

The Norway spruce has been dis
seminated throughout the world. It
has been matter of interest to en-
deavor to find fine specimens Of this
tree In its native habitat, but the
search has been in vain. Nowhere do
they attain the size or the beauty that
we have them in America. In regions
where the timber has been cut, we do
not expect much in the second growth,
but there are immense tracts from
which the lumber cannot be removed to
any market; but there the trees merely
look old without having attained great
size or .emarkable beauty. The Nor
way maple is very fine. but nowhere
better than it is seen in America. Quite
singularly, its foliage Is largest and
finest in the far North. The birch IL
found everywhere and is the only tree
in the more northern regions. The
northernmost forest in the world is
said to be one on the Lofoten Islands.
The North Cape region Is treeless. But
nowhere does the birch attain the size
