CAT HoME."-An amusing story i:
told of the late Principal Pirie o.
Aberdeen, Scotland. Just after "a
home" cards became fashionable, one
of the dryest specimens ofthe old pro
fessional regime was surprised tt
receive a missive, which read as fol
lows: "Principal and Mrs. Pirie present
their compliments to Prof. T., ano
hope he is well. Principal and Mrs
Pirie will he 'at home on Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock"
This was something which evidently
required an answer, but the recipient
of it was quite equal to the occasion
He wrote: "Prof. T. returns the com
pliments of Principal and Mrs. Pirie
and informs them that he is very well
Prof. It. is glad to hear that Principa
and Mrs. Pirie will be at home OF
Thursday evening at o'clock. Prof
T. will also be at home"

CORN For WORKING HORSES
While oats are the natural and best
food for the horse, some proportion OF
corn with them is excellent in cold
weather. The corn and oats mixture
on cut hay or straw makes better
ration than oats alone. If horses are
hurried so as to have too little time
for eating, corn and oatmeal on moist
ened cut hay fills the stomach better
than oats alone could do. Oats ground
without corn are too light and chaffy
for mixing with cut hay or straw.

BB~ In his lecture on "Gumption on
the Farm" Prof. Walters denounces
the TRADES against debt, which are
INDUCED in by many speakers and
writer's. While he does not advise
going in debt recklessly, there is not,
he thinks, a farmer in a dozen, in this
country, but who got his start by
going in debt. Going in debt for
productive and non productive prop,
erty are very different. Of all debts
the store debt is the greatest abomina-
ton, and those who allow the store
keeper to carry them generally get
what they deserve-inferior goods at
high prices.

A MUSTARD PLASTER.-A mustard
plaster made according to the follow
ing directions will not blister the most
sensitive skin: Two teaspoonfuls
mustard, two teaspoonfuls flour, two
teaspoonfuls ginger. Do not mix too
dry. Place between two pieces of old
muslin and apply. If it burns too
much at first, lay an extra piece OF
muslin between it and the skin; as
the skin becomes accustomed to the
heat take the extra piece of muslin
away.

s9 Here is a Georgia goose story
Two gentlemen were standing on a
street corner, when they were ap'
preached by man offering for sale two
dressed geese. They decided to pur'
chase, but the dealer insisted on selling
the two fowls to one man. According
ly one of them bought the two, and
sold again to his friend. After the
transaction was completed the goose
vender was asked why he wouldn't
sell the fowls separately. Said he,
"That old goose and gander have been
together 80 years, and l wouldn't sep
rate them for any consideration"

AN URGENT OCCASION.

Ye sons of the soil, awake from your dreaming.
The mnions Of Rothschilds upon you are streaming;
o. wait not for argument, call or persuasion,
But rise in your strength to this urgent occasion.
Oh think of the maidens the wives and the mothers
And haste to the rescue sons husbands and brothers,
And sink in oblivion all party and section;
Your hearhstones are looking to you for protection,
The babe in its sweetness, the child in its beauty,
UnConSciously urge you to action and duty
By all to you sacred, by all to you tender,
Your country adjureS you, arise and defend her.
Then think of the poor, the down-trodden masses,
Their sghS you may hear each breeze as it passes
While the millionaire heaps his treasures untold,
And the Goddess Of Liberty is ,haned with his gold.
Time was when the farmer with labor and thrift
A living could make his mortgage could lift,
His children could cothe, to school could send ALL
Nor quake when he thought of his debts in the tall,
But now he must sell his wheat at half price,
If he has interest to pay he must reckon it twice,
And his children in ignorance grew up at his side
For want OF instruction he cannot provide
His wife may manage with prudence and care
And have from her poultry and dairy to spare.
"But they bring in so little she cries with frown
at don't pay woman to take them to town.
In factories in mills, in mines it's the same
The Dragon of Greed is at his old game.
The rich grind the poor with their goldshodden heels
And to you and to me the poor man appeals

What The New York Sun Thinks.
Omaha World Herald.

Wnat lhe New York Sun Thinks.
Omaha World Herald.
Mr.. Dana's republicratic paper, the
New York Sun, is quite confident
that Mckinley will be elected, but
ayers that there is nevertheless:
An uneasy suspicion that the rOgues
may be in the majority and cannot be
baked of their disgraceful purpose.
After this complimentary reference
to the democrats and free coinage
men of the country, the Sun proceeds
thus to discuss what can be done to
prevent the success Of free coinage.
1t says:
In view of this disagreeable posi-
| bility, prudent men naturally are be-
ginning to consider what precautions
they shall take to protect themselves
against the success of the silverite
scheme TO deprive them Of their dues.
THE first and most obvious step is to
vote the Republican ticket them
SeyeS aud to get as many more people
as they can to vote it likewise. Con-
tributionS Of money are needed to
assist in carrying for gold the doubt
full states, and they should be made
freely. Prevention is better than
cure, and the election Of a president
and Of a congress pledged to maintain
the gold standard will render super
Auous any further defensive meas
ureS.
contributions of money are needed
to assist in carrying for gold the
doubtful states" There you have a
plain, frank statement of the Repub-
lican plan of campaign.
But suppose that free coinage tri-
umphs in spite Of the great eastern
corruption fund to carry doubtful
states? Well, then, the Sun suggests
these ideas:
The owners Of real estate and tan
gible personal property will neither
lose or gain by any alteration in the
money standard. HENCE EVERY ONE
WHO HAS MONEY AT HIS DISPOSAL CAN
PROTECT HIMSELF AGAINST Loss
THROUGH FREE SILVER BY CONVERT
ING HIS MONEY INTO LAND, HOUSES
AND MERCHANDISE OF VARIOUS
KINDS. If, BESIDES, HE B0RROWS
MORE MONEY AND USES IT FOR THE
PURPOSE, HE WILL MAKE A PROFIT
ON THE TRANSACTION AT THE EX-
S PENsE OF THE MAN FROM WHOM HE
{ BORROwS. Under the reign of silver
at Is to farm or a house and lot
now worth $4,000 will be worth
] $40, 900: a bushel Of wheat now worth
D 50 cents will sell for 81, and sugar,
( coffee, tea and similar articles will adj
vance in the same proportion.
So here we have the spectacle OF
the venerable New York Sun advising
! its readers if silver coinage wins to-
Buy land.
Buy houses.
Buy merchandise Of various kinds
8 Borrow and invest.
Would the New York Sun advise
: any one to do any Of these thing;
under the present gold standard:
Not much.
The WOrld-Herald has many time:
> proclaimed that free coinage would
bring an era of Investment and enter
, prise, but we had hardly hoped tt
have gOldbug newspaper admit the
. fact.
. We would like to have the New
York Sun tell US what the effect or
! business will be when this great de
4 mand for property arises. Viii
! property not regain its lost value.
Will the fall in prices not be checked.
q Will the hand Of bankruptcy not b.
: stayed? Will not men who now view
!, their dwindling assets with diSmay
. take new hope?
