Where is My Daughter Tonight
Mothers mould the character of
their offspring, and when daught-
ers are allowed to be continually
upon the streets, often at unreason-
able hours, trouble comes to homes
when that fatal step is taken, which
consigns the sweet, pretty and
thoughtless girl toa life worse than
death. Mothers, you are RESPONSE
bic. Fathers should keep daught
ers at home and help to make I
home more inviting. MqP
should know who their daug
associates are, and curtail as =
street education by which those
who are born and reared, some
times, in families of refinement,
become the most graceful, charm
ing and fascinating inmates of
brothels.

Whnt She Wanted.

A modest young lady of this city
who desired to make npmchase at
a dry goods store addressed the
young man behind the counter
thus: "It is my desire to OBJ

or expanded by means of oscil-
lating FURNISHED steel appliances
that sparkle like particles of gold

and which are utilized for retain

And in the providence Of things it may
be that there will be fourth Agricultural
Department for the dissemination OF seed:
The Peoples party is about to split all
to pieces, and it will be necessary to have
q headquarters for farmers who work in
the middle of the road, and who will he
largely recruited by similar class in that
Industry in Washington. Then we shall
see four local headquarters: The Straight
Republican, Straight Bryan or Bust, the
Bryan Both Sides Road party, and
the Middle of the Road party with or with
out head or ticket.
The Democratic party will not have any
headquarters except at d. b. Hills town
house in New York, and that is even said
to be for rent
OF all OF these the Middle e-of- the Road
Pops will be the most interesting. They
are the political pawnshop people. To
our mind, they are away and tellangone
ahead of either the Bryanites, the Marion
Butterflies, the Jebusites or the Malekites.
They have already arragned the Eleventh
Hour Pops and Bryanites OF having stolen
their Baby Bryan, who, they say, cuts no

BRYAN is not radical or Jacobin enough. He
cries money, money, free silver and all that
kind of thing, but, say the Middle-of-the-

for nothing?
