they will become warm before the time

oysters have been eaten the plates must

Her PRECIOUS GALA

4 Buffalo woman went TO California
to spend the winter couple OF weeks
ago.
She Is great lover of flowers. She
has her yard full Of them In the summer
and her house full OF them in the winter.
Her particular pride Is big Gala. When
she was making up her list OF things to
take To California she included the Gala.
She read the list To her husband. When
she came to the Gala h said: MANDY, |
wouldn't take that Gala"
"Why not:' asked Mandy with some
asperity. II never thought so much Of
plant In my life as do OF that Gala,
and just know II will be full Of bios
SONS this winter and | wouldn't miss
seeing them and smelling them for the
world"
But" continued her husband, "think
Of all the bother Ii will be. You can't
put ii in trunk. You can't send II by
express. You will have to carry II all
the way"
II don't care IL | do" replied Mandy,
in tone that left her husband no doubt
that the matter was settled once and for
all. II am going 10 take that Gala"
Her husband didn't give up the battle
entirely. He got Mandy's sister 10 speak
TO her. Mandy refused to listen. Then
the eldest daughter took hand st IL.
The mother waved her away.
The upshot Of il all was that Mandy
started for southern California with the
Gala, big box Of lunch and about a
ton OF other impedlmenta. The first
letter home contained this paragraph:
II must tell you about that Gala. Il
was the greatest bother you ever saw. |
almost wore myself 10 a shadow taking
care Of II. But | carried IL along, think
ing OF the lovely blossoms II would sure
IL have this winter. By the time got
into California | WAS sick and tired OF IL
and nervous and worried and all that.
But | remembered the comfort the
blossoms would be 10 me when they
came. When got up on the morning
of the last day | looked out the car
window, and may | never see Buffalo
again II the train wasn't running through
a field OF callas SO big that ] couldn't see
its limits.
IL Just sat down and had good cry.
To think that an ordinarily sensible
woman should cart 20-pound pot and
lily 5000 miles just because she wanted
TO see Il In blossom. and then lind mil
lions Of the same lilies growing Wild In
the fields. IL was enough 10 make an
angel weep. Then took the - Gala
and threw 1t out the car window.

to the grave danger Of this gold reserve be.
ing SO low, thus will the bond managers
take their opportunity to work their legal
tender scheme, rush to the treasury and
demand gold for these notes. and start the
cry that this country is on the verge of
bankruptcy, and claim the only way out is
to issue large amount Of bonds and de-
stroy the greenbacks: so such a danger
cannot occur again. All this will look so
PLAUSIBLE that the unthinking class who
take their mental food from the unbridled
press will clamor that this step is the last
one to be taken to secure sound money and
restore confidence. and when farmers are
obliged to sell their products still lower,
the old cry of over production will be
heaped upon them by the same students of
political economy. Little do they realize
that there is another danger point far
more dangerous than any that can be
reached by withdrawing the gold reserve.
If that class of people continue their work
much longer this danger point Of overbur-
dened. enraged people will be reached. 1t
is near here now. -Hamlin V. Poore

For gold and glory and the tyrants throne
And power intolerable. And 10, he fell,
Lay trodden in the Roman capitol,
And none so poor to do him reverence
Beware! The Bourbon lords of bleeding
France,
Who starved the poor to keep their stolen
gain,
And Knocked the wall Of want-and they
were slain.
Their houses RACED and burned, their ban
ners rent,
And jeers for tears upon their monument
Like these, old party, you have come to be-
Your sometime code Of right and liberty
Lies with the dust of Lincoln. dead and

And you are turned the slave of graspina
gold.
A sound as If the black and troubled sea,
From north and south 1t rises, like the din
OF mastering squadrons ere it's fires begin
The deepening roar of voices manifold.
And you shall fall, as did the powers OF
old;
You shall be scattered to the winds and
sea,
And vanish in q hollow mockery.

made will result In great good to the Amer
lean people, to those who are living now,
and to those who are yet to live. Still,

perior to metal money, the volume Of which
fluctuates on account Of the demand for
gold and silver in the arts and for ex-

compelled to adopt the irredeemable paper
money system, and inclose you an trti-
Gle on this subject, which hope you win
