Gently found himself in a small town in
the south of France. where an enter

benefit Of the poor. One Of the promo
tiers begged him to take'pa in it, a
proposition to which he readily assent

ON the bills than tickets went like Wild

The mayor naturally felt grateful,
and turned over in his prosy and POM

Of acknowledgment. He asked the actor

and placed before him an egg in which
10 golden louis had been concealed.
The actor took a spoonful. and, dis

The other guests, who were in the Sc

hostess inquired why he did not finish
the egg.

than he very we'll knew what to do

sovereigns, the head being up. Each
coin was stuck in mixture Of lime,

The effect of European clothing upon
japanese women is quite remarkable.
for whenever il is adopted modern man
ners and customs usually go with it.
The educated japanese say that when

insists upon the same treatment aud
courtesies that her sisters in Europe re-
ceive Il is a curious fact that when
woman is dressed in the japanese cos
tune her husband always precedes her
when entering a room or in walking the
streets and treats her as japanese hus-
bands generally treat their wives-that
is, like servants. But when the same
woman puts on modern dress the condi-
tons are reversed. Her husband pays
her the same Difference that European
and American husbands show their
wives and recognizes her as an equal

His Trick Is to Blend Gold and Protection
 So as to Fool the Voter.
 It should be noted that while the Re- publicans are shouting that they are making a great battle for 'ssound money" the organs and representatives of the tariff barons are consistently claiming that the tariff is an issue, says the St. Louis Republic. Boss Hanna de- clares that the workingmen are not bothering about the money question, but want protective tariff.
 The trick of the syndicate interests in control of the Republican party in put ting Mckinley on gold platform is emphasized by this insistence that the tariff is an issue in the face of the claim that the financial question is the over shadowing issue.
 These shrewd political jobbers know that it would be fatal to make McKin- leyism the issue of the campaign and that it is dangerous to keep it too prom inently before the people, but they are quietly laying the foundation for the claim, should the Republican campaign be successful, that the people demand 2 return to McKinleyism.
