When the committee got ready for bust

were clear-cut and well defined. Both par

under the platform adopted at the previous
national conventions. AS it is now we have
just got our platform, but we don't know
what the democrats are going to do, and
before We make a sortie we would like to
know the location of the eneny's lines

"One thing IS certain: our campaign is to

educate the people upon the money question

The Child In Life.

From Prof Chamberlain's Childhood in Folk
Thought.
Upon language, religion, society and the
arts the child has had a lasting influence
both passive and active, unconscious, sug
gestive. creative. History, the stage. music
and song have been its debtors in all ages
and among all peoples. To the child the Ian
guage owes many of its peculiarities, and
the multiplicity of languages perhaps their
very existence. Religion has had the child
long as its servant, and from the faith and
confidence of youth and the undying moth
er-love have sprung the thought of immor-
tally and the Messiah hope that greets us
all over the globe. Even among the most
primitive races it is the children who are
man is not from a tabled Garden of Eden,
but from the glory of childhood into the
stern realities of manhood. AS a social
factor the child has been of vast import
ance; children have sat upon thrones, have
dictated policies of church and state, and
from them the wiSest in the land have
sought counsel and advice. AS oracles
priests. shamons and thaumaturgi chill
dren have had the respect and veneration
of whole peoples, and they have often been
the very mouthpiece of deity, standing in
the very gates of heaven. AS hero and ad-
venturer, passing over into divinity, the
child has explored earth. sea and sky, de-
scending into nethermost hell to rescue the
bones of his father, and setting ajar the
gates of Paradise. that the radiant glory
may be seen of his mother on earth FL
nally, as Christ sums up all that is divine
in men, so does the Christ child sum I'D all
that is God-like in the child. The man
Jesus stands at the head of mankind the
child Jesus is the first of the children of
men. All the activities and callings of the
child, the wisdom. the beauty, the inno-
eence of childhood. find in folk-belief and
folk-faith their highest, perfect expression
in the Babe of Bethlehem.

THEY ALL PLAYED.
The Rough Man Had Fits IL He
Couldn't Play Cards.


From the Chicago Record.
A man can always get what he goes alter
in the right way. One day. on the Union
Pacific overland train, little episode oc-

learned, come down from the Oregon horse

at the far end of the Pullman. and, awk-
wardly working his way up the car, stopped
at the elbow of the first man along the aisle.
This was an ecclesiastical-looking person

at him:
"Podner will you play a game of sixty

The other smiled and murmured a declina-
ton. Whereupon, with q disappointed look,
the horseman addressed the next male pas
senger with a request that he play sixty

ing Of chagrin, were followed by applica-
ton to third and fourth and fifth man,
until the whole car had been canvassed.
At the last negative answer the big fellow
turned and looked down the aisle despair
ingly. Then, steadying himself by the
backs of two seats, he roared:

a Washington newspaper man, who will do
editorial work in the committee and handle
the news bulletins: Mr.. w. b. Thompson
will be treasurer. A staff of typewriters
and stenographers completes the working
personnel of the committee headquarters
at the Normandie. Of course, other men,
bers of the congressional committee will be
on hand from time to time, and for the
greater part Of the time a quorum of the
executive committee will be in Washington.
Talk with the Chairman.
''The whole object of the congressional

Star reporter, when asked to outline the
work before him, lis to secure a sound
money majority in the House. That result
is as important to the republican party in
my judgment as the election of President.

ANTS USED BY SURGEONS.
An Ant in Tint Saves n Stitch In the
Closing of Wounds.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In the Levant the Greek surgeons find
a valuable aid in their operations, and al
most universally employ the busy little
creatures. The ant they use is a big,
strong fellow. much larger and stronger
than the ants we are accustomed to seeing
here They have particularly large and
strong mandibles. which make them of
value to the surgeons. who use them in
holding together the sides of an incised
wound.

of the candidates for Congress. Its three
principal tasks will be to furnish money,

Campaign Literature.
The 100000 copies of speeches and docu-
ments proposed to be distributed by the
committee will include a number of sub
Jects. The printing press is already at
work upon some of this campaign Iitera-
ture and busy hands are folding and pack
ing the speeches for distribution through
the mails. All or nearly all of these thou
sands OF tons of printed matter will go
through the mails free of charge under
congressicl al franks. The speeches made
In Congress will go this way, of course
Later It will be found that many of these
speeches include insertions of matter never
referred to in the halls of Congress, but
carried by the speeches to get within the
privilege of the congressional frank. This is
an oid practice and Is fesorted to by both
OF lhe political parties without hesitation.
. Inc 1avor1te speeches being distributed by
Inc committee were those delivered in the
mouse ana Senate especially for campaign
ana educadon purposes. Mr.. Reeds great
speech on the tariff, Mr. Dingley's famous

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Some very unique cathode-ray expert
ments of extraordinary success have re-
Gently been made in Oregon City by Dr. J..
c. Perry. a wellknown physician of this
city. and w. c. Cheney, superintendent of
the Portland General Electric Company
The experiments were made with gold
bearing rock, in which the rays defined the
free gold as plainly as If it lay on the sur
face of the quartz So far as known, this
is the first successful experiment of the
kind with quartz, and the results obtained
justify the assertion that the new ray will
prove of immense value in mining opera
tons.
Besides their successful experiments with
quartz. DR.. Perry and Mr. Cheney have
succeeded in cutting down the time of ex-
posure to a quarter of an hour. The i'm
pertance of this decrease in time is sig
nihcant when it is required to retain one
position without moving throughout the
exposure. Both DR.. Perry and Mr. Cheney
explain this decrease by the effectiveness
OF Mr.. Cheney's induction coil, which was
used in all the experiments and which its
owner considers the most powerful coil
west of Chicago.
One experiment of peculiar interest was
skiagraphing little chickadee which had
been shot through the head. The bird,
feathers and all, was laid on the rubber
diaphragm that protects the sensitive plate
and was submitted to the action of the
rays. Morton's modification of Crooke's
tube was employed, and the subject, which
was one of the earliest tried, was exposed
for considerable longer time than fifteen
minutes. On developing the plate it was
found that every bit of the plumage, ex-
cepting faint trace of some of the coarse
wing feathers, had vanished, while on the
other hand, notwithstanding the smallness
