 Hell get me yet" was all he said when we asked him the trouble. "He," of course, meant the captain, who for some unaccountable reason had taken a strong dislike to the lowly drummer. Things went from bad to worse. Dum- pey was in the guard-house continual ly; first for one thing and then another, which, though trivial enough in their way, were rapidly building up bad reputation for him, which he did not really deserve.
 The end came when they found him drunk on guard. The general court. which tried him, found him guilty and sentenced him to be drummed out of the service. The colonel wrote to the reviewing authority rather strongly in his favor, but Dnmpey was doomed. Nothing could save him, and the sen- ten ,e was July confirmed.
 Never did sun shine brighter, never were skie" bluer. never was nature more generous than on that dreadful May morning almost 30 years ago. We had all been to see Dumpey at the guardhousc the night before. We had shaken hands with him and carried him such boyish gifts as we could to as. sure him of our loyalty and friendship, and he, poor cid boy. had turned his

A Vote for Bryan.

The difference between the goldbug and the silverite in contemplating the certain upheaval is that while the former claims it to be unnecessary and uncompcnated disaster, the silver lead- CTS insist that Q panic would only be a necessary evil, that it would "serve the goldbug right" and that the good to the country to come from the adoption of the silver standard would be so great as to make up for the wreck of our pres ent commercial and financial structure and the cosequent long paralysis of trade. The present depression of values, cancellation of orders, and unseason- able stagnation of business leave, un- happily, no room for doubt as to the accuracy of the general forecast of the result of silver success in November. So the question arises: Are you willing, silver dry goods merchants, to wind up the business circus we have been having since 1893 with great, big panic that would be no respecter of persons, but would squeeze goldbug and silverite inn partially? Avote for Bryan is vote for panic. Who among you are willing to cast such O vote?-Dry Goods Econo- mist.

preciated currency. They are not against silver because it is white in. stead of yellow. but because the free and unlimited coinage of it as circumstances now stand would be a capacious mis- fortune. Whenever other nations will enter into an agreement with ours for the purpose of doing what no one na- ton can do alone-that is, coining the whole silver product of the earth on such terms as will insure the continu- ance of the gold standard-there will be no objection from the republican party; but until that time comes the power of that party will certainly be exerted to the utmost for the prevention of an experiment that would inevitably result in the substitution of poor money for good money, and the infliction of i'm. measurable loss and misery upon the country.-7St. Louis Republic.

These nobles and princes were bound for England, where they were to pass five years in order to complete their ed- ucation. The whole party spoke very fluent English, which they had been taught from their earliest infancy. The party had hardly settled on board before the royal yacht was seen steam ing down the river. Chulalong Rem had made the trip especially to inspect the steamer, which was a new one on the line, and, as the queen was sending her only son to England, had consented to the unprecedented proceeding of allow ing her to accompany him and bid her son farewell.
 The scene on the quay was a curious one. In the presence of the agent des messageries, acting as French consul. and the commandant of the royal yacht, Commodore Richelieu "a Siamese whose essentially French name set all the psychologists agog-the king, in a very light spring suit, carefully exam ined all the newest facilities for loading and unloading the vessel. Standing be- side her august husband the queen, ut terly obliyious to the onlOokers. aban- doned herself to a very natural outburs5 of motherly sorrow at parting from her son, and it was at this very moment that the snap shot was taken.
 Though the spectators were undoubt edly touched by her maternal sorrow still the feeling uppermost in all their minds must have been that caused by the strangeness and oddity of her at. tire. Thanks to the kodak, we can form very fair idea of this old-fash- toned style of boomers. These classical trousers called "Sampat" are made of a very large piece of sillSen stuff most in- geniously draped to form perfec: sem blance in front of the up to date bicycle costume favored by the new woman. Over these is worn Q white camisole or species of chemise, which was crossed by the cord of some royal order, outlin- ing, but not beautifying, the oriental form of the Siamese queen. really do not think the photographed resem- blance of her majesty will be apt to awaken many envious feelings in the breasts of her western sisters or do muck toward the universal adoption of bloomers.-N.

They Have Been Part of stamese Femi- nine Apparel for Ages.
 Pictures of the queen of Siam in her national costume are not only interest- ing as showing the Siamese fashions but also from the fact that'they clearly demonstrate that the new woman in America and England is not the origin ator of the much derided and carica- turcd bloomer costume brought into such prominence lately, thanks to the bicycle fad. That Dr. Mary Walker las been looked upon so long as the "fa- ther" @ of reform in women's dress but carries out the old adage: '"There is nothing new under the sum-" At least we can so judge of Slams fashions, which are not so changeable as our own. The bloomer costume has been worn there for ages.
 The manner in which their picture came to be taken is original, and due to the ingenuity of a Yankee and camera fiend. Such picture is rarity, as a Siamese woman. and especially one of high degree, is never seen by for eigner, and, moreover male. But the incident happened as follows, and. thanks to the alertness of our country man, we have before us an authentic picture of the second queen of Siam. as she really looked standing on the wharf at Singapore: e.
 The steamship Saghalien, running be- tween Chinese ports and Marseilles, was all ready to start on her trip. The return ing European passengers were anxious ly questioning the officers in charge as to the cause of the dciay, for the boat was some two hours behind her sched- ulcd time for starting, and the proba- bility of having to lie alongside the dock all night was a very serious con sideration. Their impatience was soon changed to curiosity when they were told that the steamer was waiting for the special train bringing the sons, nephews and brother of the king of Siam, and also the arrival of the royal yacht having the king and his favorite wife on board.
 Finally the train steamed into the station and the royal party disem- parked. It consisted of several mem- bers of the royal family, notably the young princes Chakrabongse, Bovar- arth and Ben Badhanabongse, the kings sons who were in charge of their uncle, who had with him his own son and two of the kings nephews.
 The princes were accompanied by two aides-de-camp, secretary and two English professors. Their suite was composed besides of five young Siam csc noblemen, and who, like the young princes, were going to be educated.

A BRYAN soPHIsTRY.
His Unfounded Charges Against the Re
 publican Party.

du UnIOun00o CnSt8OS A8oiuSt tho ny publican Party.
 In all of his speeches, MT. Bryan dwelk upon the alleged inconsistency of the republicans in declaring for the main. tenance of the gold standard and at the same time favoring an international ar rangement for the larger use of silver. "If the gold standard is good thing" he asks, day after day, "why do they want foreign nations to help us let go of it?" This bit of sophistry is on par with the rest of his so-called arguments against 'sound money" and safe standard of value. As matter of fact the republicans are not looking for way to get rid of the gold standard. They say in their platform: "We are opposed to the free coinage of silver, ex- cept by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the earth, which agreement we pledge our. selves to promote" This fact does not mean that they prefer double stand- ard, or an alternating standard, but only that they believe our government should cooperate with others. whenever such thing is possible, for the buying and coining of the worlds output of silver under such conditions as shall not en- danger the permanency of the gold standard. That is the kind of bimetall- ism which they are pledged to promote, and not the kind that would abolish the gold standard.
 There is no inconsistency in such m attitude, and no qualification of the dec. laration for the maintenance of the pres. cnt standard. The republican party is not the enemy of silver; it has put more of that metal in use as money than any ether party in our history. If all the silver in existence could be coined to. morrow and kept on a parity with gold, the republicans would be glad to see it done. But they know that the condi tions are now such that step of that sort would destroy the 1Oo-cent standard and put the country on 53-cent basis, with disastrous consequences to all classes. Therefore, they are opposed to free coinage, as they say, except by in- ternational agreement" or, in other words. under conditions giving assur ance of exemption from the evils of a de

LESSON. face away from us and wept like a child.
 It was the first and only time I had ever seen man drummed out of the service. I can never again see such a shocking sight of mans inhumanity to man.
 Almost 30 years ago-I was a very young boy then, still remember that the sun was bright and that skies were blue; remember that the air was sofi and balmy; I remember that the flag, emblem of liberty and equality, threw out the glory of it's stars and stripes straight and strong to the morning breeze; I remember that we all stood huddlcd together, waiting-and-then it came.
 First the drums and flies; then two platoons of men fully armed and equipped, their bayonets flashing and sparkling in the sunlight, and between them, Dumpey, with head closely cropped, and on his back board marked "Drunkard."
 And still--the sun shone, the skies were blue, and the flag Tapped gayly overhead.
 On they came, the drums and flies playing the "Rogues' March,"
 Poor old soldier: poor old soldier.
 Tarr'd and feathered and then drummd
 out
 Because he couldn't keep sober
 Our hearts were in our throats, but we clenched our hands and held our places like men.
 There was no music in tn march; it was simply wailing and sobbing of the drums-the drums to drum Dumpcy out of the service: Dumpey, their cham, rion, their hero, their king.
 But on they came
 Poor old soldier, poor old soldier
 Just as they passed us we heard some one ask:
 "What makes him walk so queer? He seems to be limping."
 Every boy there could have tod kim that it was the bullet he got at Mission Ridge, which the doctors had never been able to take out.
 And on they came
 Tarr'd and feathercd and then drummd d
 out
 At last they reached the sally port
 Because he couldn't keep sober, shrieked out the flies, and a moment later Dumpey stood outside the fort, Q free man.
 And then--this worthless outcast, this drummed out drunkard, this limp ing, halting, wounded ex-soldier, who had played mans part in the bitterest war the world has ever known, this drunken Dumpey, halted, quietly took the board from his back, and, bearing his closely-cropped head to the morn- ing sun, looked up toward the flag and bravely cried out:
 "Three cheers for the Stars and Stripes"

Isrvan on the Wane.

The situation in which Bryan now finds himself is unique in the political annals of the United States. He is de- serted by nearly all of the great demo- cratic newspapers, and by strilSingly large proportion of the ablest demo- cratic leaders. The populists, disgusted by the discourteous treatment he has given their candidate for vice president, are on the eve of 0 gigantic revolt. He is discredited in his own state, and re- pulsed in the great Empire state. He has not dared to invade New England, where the voice of the people is to be heard in September. He is without per- sonal following. His arguments have been overthrown. His statements are discredited. He is political prophet without honor in his own country or any other. He is plainly wuging los ing contest. and unless all good signs fail he will be defeated at the polls in November next by majority more over whelming even than that which en- gulfed Greedy and the democratic party in 1S72.-Burlington (Vt.)

A Reason for His Knowledge.

A party of us were up ih the White mountains last fall on camping-out trip. We were walking along one after noon when we met native of that To- cality coming down ravine with about a bushel of blueberries in a box strapped to his broad back.
 We stopped and asked him a number of questions about distances and locali- ties, and his replies manifested such familiarity with the neighborhood that one of the party said:
 "You seem to be well acquainted all along here."
 "I'd ort to be-" was the reply; "T was born all along hyar." - Detroit Free Press.

After You Have Eaten Onions.

Take a small cup of black coffee as soon after eating onions as convenient, and, if you are at home, use mouth wash and gargle of q glass of water in which has been put a few drops each of camphor and myrrh. Ifyou are away from home take the precaution to slip into your pocket bit of orris root. A little of this will do something towards destroying the offensive onion fumes.

years of age. There were only two things he could really do well-;irum and drink-so the junior lieutenant of the battery, who was his good friend" tto use Dumpey's own words), dubbed him D2.
 There were number of boys in the garrison and we were all on intimate terms with Dumpey. To us, in spite of his 36 years and the fact that he had served through the four years of the War, he seemed but boy. He was al- ways good-natured; ready for swlm or fish: ready to play inli, and ,ome- times, when in q particularly an,iablc mood, ready to give us lesson on the , drum, which he considered the king of instruments"
 "Fiddles are all right" he said once when the coloneTs son ventured to diff fer with him, ''fiddles are all right, but" with superior smile, mot for soldiers. Did you ever hear tell of fiddler of Chickamauga? Come, answer me that"
 Of course we sided with Dumpey; what real boy wouldn't?
 can see him now, with his drum slung from his neck, his little figure drawn up to its full height, proudly showing us how to make the drum ~talk."
 This is what we played at Mission Ridge," and then he would begin.
 One heard the tramp of marching feet, the thunder of cannon, the rattle of musketry, the shouts and hurrahs of the men, and, above all, the rub-a- ,tlub-dub, the erub-a-dub-flub of the drum. I, sent the cold shirers down our backs, the blood jumping through our veins, and our boyish hearts thumped and thumped until we thought they must surely burst; then he would change and in an instant all was different.
 The slow and solemn beat of the muf- fed drum; the long, melancholy, al- most human roll, and we knew that the battle was over, and that the dead were being laid away to their last rest. The tears were in our eyes, choking in our threats, and then
 They dressed me up in sojer clothes.
 They treated me so kindly.
 And yet never could forget
 The girl left behind me.
 And we'd fall in and march behind our friend until we reached the battery quarters.
 Sometimes when the grizzled first sergeant of the battery was inclined to be pleasant we would stay to dinner with Dumpey; bean soup, pork, bread and coffee, with a real live cooks bully (soldier) to wait on us, just as if we were full-fedged battery men.
 These were our happy times; there were sad ones (usuaily at pay day) when poor Dumpey would fall from grace and disappear from among us for days at time. Sometimes he would be in the guard-house, sometimes in the hospital. We never spoke of it, and when the fit was over hc would be safe for few more months.
 It was a sad day for tho battery, and particularly for Dnmpey, when the junior lieutenant left OUT post by traps- fer. The very next payday Dumpvy was in the guarlhousc with genera charges against him. .Intcrcessi.n proved of no avail; the captain was determined to make sn example of him. hut the court was icnient, so after a months confinement Dumpey caroe back to us, hut an altered man.
