Congressman Grove l.. Johnson
Should be REFLECTED.
(Placer Repub1,can. /,

Placer Republican,
The Republican District Convention
which met at Sacramento last Wednes-
day nominated Grove L. johnson to
succeed himself as Congressman from
the Second District. There is probably
no man in the halls Of Congress more
able than Grove L. Johnson. The fact
that Mr.. Johnson had no opposition in
the convention proves him a popular
choice with his party and it Is fitting
and proper that he should be reelected.
The coming election is a most import
ant one to the Republican party, and 1t
is imperative that the halls Of Congress
should be governed by stanch Repub-
licans. This is the year of protection,
when the Republican party is to restore
this grand issue and bring back a pros
perity driven out by Democracy. The
Importance of Congress is often over
looked in Presidential years and we
urge Republicans not to forget their
duty. in this direction.
William Mckinley must be supported
by a Republican Senate and House of
Representatives and it is the election of
Republicans that will make that support
{ doubly sure.

RaDid Eating.

There is a prevalent idea that slow
eating is favorable to digestion, but
this is often fallacious. The important
point is not that we eat slowly or eat
fast, but that when we DO eat
we chew with energy. Of course,
where the haste is due to soma
mental anxiety, this may injuriously
inhibit the secretions. Slow eating be-
gets habit of simply mumbling the
fool withut really masticating it, willis
the hurried eater is inclined to swallow
his food before proper mastication.
Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid
mastication may be advantageous. It
concentrates our energies or the act
In question, and hence more thorough
ly accomplishes it. Moreover, ener-
getic chewing stimulates the secretion
of saliva in the most favorable manner

THE BARKeR's LITTLE SPEECH.
He Had Moral Show But 1t Was Capa-
BILE of Making Rome Howl

He Had Moral Show But 1t Was Capa-
BILE of Making Rome Howl.
Gentlemen" said the barker on the
Midway at Coney island, in a confiden-
tial tone, 1--WE have something here out
of the ordinary rum"
He was a short and why individual.
His facial surface was corrugated with
many wrinkle. His look was unctuous
rather than spiritual, and he was pain
fully in earnest.
"Come Closer" he exclaimed, while
the tomtoms in the neighboring tent
beat louder. every little clap-trap
show on this here island says they's got
Fatima. But have they got her? Now,
asts you is it likely that they would
have her? OF course not. But we've
got her. We've got Fatima, and here
she is
With that he paraded before the tent
on small platform fat female with
copper-colored skin, who appeared in a
pair of pink tights, transparent shawl
and veil of gorgeous tinsel.
After disclosing her personal charms
to certain limit the barker continued,
changing from the deadly earnest to the
persuasive voice:
sand now, my friends, who is Fatima?
Listen, and will tell you. Every wom-
an when she went to the worlds fair at
C-h-y-c-a-g-o in 1898 said the moment
she alighted from the train: Take me
to see Fatima, that wonderful woman
who does that peculiar dance The last
two words were whispered with the
hand to the mouth.
"Couchee couchee they. call it; I call
it the muscle dance.
"There is only one Fatima, and we've
got her.. Here she is. The sultan OF
Turkey was so stuck on her that he
cabled to have her sent to his harem,
but she would not leave us. Now will
you go in?
"The authorities on this here island
is dead hostyle to the couchee couchee,
so of course we've got to let things
down a little.
"This is a respectable show. A
show, my friends, to which you would
not be ashamed to bring your mother,
your father, your children or your
sweetheart. A show, gentlemen, that
has all the elements Of the artistic. And
II is a moral show, my friends, but say,
hang me if we amt got dance in there
that would make Rome howl! Now,
will you come in on. Y. Sun.

those plants; In fact, + can hear voices. y
"Yes (viciously), 1t might be Miss
Gwynne, mightn't it? And, of course,
when she was in England she couldn't
possibly hear what you said to me; but
why did you try not to, Capt. Barnes
I didn't ask you to; didn't want you
TO-"
mo? No, Of course not; you didn't
ask, but sometimes you-you tempted
me-"
"What nonsense! tempted you! I
never wanted you to say them, / tell
YOU. How did 1 tempt you?"
"Well, you looked rather happy some
times after / had said some such things
to you, and that made me want to say
something else"
"And all the time you knew you were
engaged to Miss Gwynne, and in love
with her, and-no, still don't under
stand, Capt. Barnes" ...
mo, of course you don't understand;
you're only little girl, Miss Rosie, and
you think everyone in the world is
good, and honest, and innocent, like
yourself; but do you think you could
try and understand how a man might
think he had met the one woman in tho
world for. him, and he asks her to go
through life with him, and then he
has to go away for long time, and the
remembrance,ofh her growsa little faint?
He tries hard not to let it die out al
together, because he knows he is in
honor bound and that the woman loves
him, and then-do you follow me, Miss
Rosie?-he meets another woman"
There are such lot of women in this
story, Capt. Barnes, it is growing rath-
er confusing. Shall we go back to the
dancing room?"
"He meets another woman, who is
altogether different, above and apart
from anything he ever dreamed of in
woman"
Eyes, it is very pretty story, Capt.
Barnes, but have been here long
enough; besides, you needn't trouble to
explain: there hasn't been any damage
done, TO this woman, at any rate; Of
course, don't know about the Others"
. Miss Rosie, you do understand,
really, don't you? There are only two
women, one is May Gwynne, and the
other"
Good gracious! what q smash!
Somebody has knocked down a pot,
believe, and one of those lovely azaleas.
Then there was some one there, and
they must have heard that silly story Of
yours!"
II don't think so; don't care. Miss
Rosie, you are quite sure it didn't do
any damage?"
What, the flower pot? Well, don't
know. Shall GO and see?"
You know what I mean-not the
flower pot-the things said"
II have forgotten them, Capt. Barnes.

THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.

| "Oh, yes, / played in those days. Base
hall was baseball then" and the old gem
tleman sighed over what he evidently
regarded as the decadcncc of the great
national game. "Now they get nine men
together and make machine of them.
The whole thing is nothing more or less
than animated mechanism. Then we
had live ball, and I used to swing q
hickory bat pretty nearly as long as q
rake handle. You can imagine what
came off when made hit. The crowd
would hear something like Shrek of
a shell and then'the umpire would toss
out new ball while chased two or
three runs in ahead of me.
Now, just to illustrate" and the re-
tired veteran of the diamond began
making a diagram while his hearers
grouped about him. "Here's where we
played at New Castle Pa, with the old
Neshannocks. Charlie Bennett was
catching. Here runs the Ohio river,
way to the rear of the grounds, which
lay open to the high bluffs which mark
the bank. Now, Bennett was doing
some mighty batting, and fellow from
a college nine was giving him a tight
race. Each one of them rolled ball
over the bluff and I began to fear for
my laurels. But the third time up saw
one coming that just suited. / settled
well on my feet, concentrated all my
strength for one supreme effort, swung
old hickory, and when that ball quit
going it struck water half way across
the river. Why, they stopped the game

the hour, the king of batters, the

you. It's more than 20 years"
Eyes, the last time we met was at the
game you just described" 'H
The old gentleman turned little
white about the mouth, but rallied with
infinite generalship. "Yes, of course,
you were there, and it was day of mir
acles, for you went down to the river
and caught ten-pound bass that was
served that night at the hotel" -.
What fisherman could resist such q
temptation with the beautiful lie all
framed for him?
JudIin flushed and inflated with
pride. The two jolly rogues went out
together. Before the evening was over
that ball had been knocked nearly a
quarter of a mile into the country be-
yond the river and that bass was IS
pounds strong.-Detroit Free Press.
