The wife of a farmer living near Ser.
geant Bluff, Iowa, was caught in a wolf
trap out On the prairie recently and
held captive some thirty hours. a
neighbor had set several wolf traps
made of steel jaws, with heavy spring
closing them when sprung, about his
farm. He placed them far away from
the road, where there was no apparent
danger of anything but a wolf getting
caught. But the woman took a short
cut home one evening. saw the trap,
stopped to find out just what it was,
and was firmly caught by one hand.
She wAs unable to open the jaws with
the other hand, and remained fast In
the trap all night and until the next
evening, when a searching party found
her. She was unconscious and near
death from pain and exposure.

The Insects Down That Way Are of
BrobdignagIan Size
Gentlemen" said the man with the
yaller whiskers, as the talk turned on
mosquitoes, ST believe in giving every
insect fair show, and I'm not the
man To talk agin mosquito behind his
back. I never had an adventure worth
relating with the pests, but my brother
had. My brother was a sober, con-
scientious man, and never knew him
to exaggerate in the slightest"
Where did this adventure happen7
cautiously queried the man with the
stub nose.
Down in the swamps of Louisiana,
sir. My brother was one of the en-
gineers Of railroad survey. One day,
while all alone and making his way
through a swamp with the water up
to his waist, a mosquito suddenly
rushed upon him and bit him in the
thigh, But for his desperate efforts my
brother would have been killed then
and there. AS it was, he was laid up
for three months"
your brother told that yarn, did he2"
sneered the man with the double chin
Certainly he did, replied the man
with the yaller whiskers. "As l said
before my brother never exaggerated.
am liar myself, but he was the soul
of truth"
your brother saw the mosquito. OF
course?"
"Of course. He said it was fully nine
feet long, and the spread Of its Jaws
would take in a nail-keg. When II
rushed at him it splashed water twenty
feet high"
Look here, my friend" said the
stub-nosed man, didn't it ever occur
to you that it was an alligator and not a
mosquito which attacked your broth
err"
Never! My brother was man with
the highest respect for truth. II 1t
had been an alligator he would have
said so. might have lied about 1t.
but nothing could have tempted him
to. And then he said the thing few
away after being beaten of. Now, do
alligators fly?"
''Is your brother still living?" asked
the man with the double chin. as his
neck began to redden.
"Alas, sir, he is dead. Yes, he died
as he HEed-a truthful man. Why do
you ask?"
''Oh, wanted to call him a liar on
a postal card, but he probably doesns
get any mail where he is now"
'You think he lied, do your"
I'm sure of it."
Then gentlemen, you will please ex-
cuse me from any further part in this
conversation. I am liar myself, as
1 have admitted, but cannot stand 1t
to he " my dead brother slandered. He
said mosquito and he salc it few, and
as 1 am a fighter 1 will withdraw and
try to think what my brother said
about the mosquito tearing down bushes
with his tail as he spread his wings"

M'KlNLEY's RECORD ON SILVER

- Se4AvA42s4 y &S00S8S6 S<V SSA1 v 1S6O'
The following is McKinley's official
record in relation to silver:
On November 5, 1877, In the house Of
representatives., he voted for BANDS
free coinage bill.
On January %, 1878, he voted for q
resolution declaring that all the govern
ment bonds issued under the resump-
ton act were payable, principal and l.
terest, at the option OF the government,
in silver dollars.
When the Bland bill came back from
the senate with amendments providing
for the coinage of not less than 81, 900,
600 nor more than 100000 of silver
per month, Hewitt of New York, moved
to lay it on the table. On February 81,
1873, Mckinley voted mo"
President Hayes vetoed the bill. On
February 26, 1878, Mckinley voted for
its passage over the veto.
April 8, 1890, on proposition to sue
pend the purchase and coinage of silver
bullion on July !, 1889, Mckinley voted
"No."
August %, 1893, when the repeal Of the
silver purchase act was carried, McKin.
ley was not q member of congress-, but
he made public address in which he
urged that "the silver product of the
country could not be Disseminated
against"
On September n, 1894, in another
public address he denounced those who
voted for the repeal of that law.

A TEXAS VIEW.

Free silver is necessity Of the coun-
try, but is no more SO than q protec-
tive tariff. Texans who have cattle to
sell, hides to market, wool to ship and
other products in which there is COM
petition, when these commodities are sd
mitted free, or nearly SO, know that
such q condition gives the big buyers
a chance to force down prices, without
materially beneftting consumers. The
average Texas democrat msy see how
production of the leading products of
the state would benefit him, and the
time may yet come when be will vote
for a PROFESSIONALISM president. But
just now he hears only the silver shout
Of the party parrots, who no matter
what their text may be, lave ever lur-
ed listeners into the swamps of error.
Let the people but cease to listen and
think for themselves and they will see
that the republican party offers them
something tangible and immediate,
namely, protection of the things that
Texas produces, and also seeks in what
party leaders conceive the best way. to
bring about safe aud permanent use
OF silver as money. The democratic
party declares it will not attempt to
improve tariff troubles in the Interest
OF the west, and gives as the only ar
gument for its support wild promise
to enrich the people by silver legisla-
tion.-El Paso Herald.

LET it never be forgotten that the

committed to the single gold stand

that it stands now az it has ever stood

in bimetallism but in silver monome-
