How the Dipper Saved
the EaTn.l

Father was sick and the mortgage
on the farm was coming due, saw
IN tie Christian Advocate where Miss
A. NJ Fritz Of Station A. St. Louis,
Mo-, would send a sample oomblna>
ton dipper for IS tMo.cent stamps,
and | ordered one. | saw the dip,
per could be used as frmt jar filler
a plain dipper, fine stranor, a fun-
mel, strainer funnel, q sick room
warming pan, and pint measure.
These s different uses makes the
dipper such necessary article that I
went to work with 1t and 1t sells at
almost every house. And IN four
months ! paid off the mortgage. /
think | can clear as much as 5000 a
month, Ii you need work you can
do well to give this a trial. Mss A,

Miss A. NJ Fritz, Station A., st, Louis,
Mo, would give an elegant plated hok
spoon to anyone sending her ten 2-cent
stamps, | sent for one and found it is
useful that ! showed it to my friends,
and made Sl3 90 ia two hours, taking
orders for the spoon, The hook spoon is
a household necessity. 1t cannot slip in
to the dish or cooking vessel, being held
in the place by hook on the back. The
spoon is something that housekeepolS
have needed ever since spoons were first
invented, Anyone can get u sample
spoon by sending ten 2,cent stamps to
Miss Fritz, This is u splendid way to

cottages, which were SOFA
to their mine operatives on
the installment plan at ex-
horbitant prices. When
these homes were more than
paid for at an honest valua-
ton, Hanna reduced wages
to the starvation point,
making complete payment
impossible. The wretched
dupes of the damnable plot
appealed for simple justice,
and were given the horse
laugh" by Hanna. They
went out on a strike, defalt-
ed in their payments, and
the state was appealed to by
this modren Shylock, hungry
for his pound OF Hesh, 10
drive them from their homes.
The grand old state OF Hi
nois was compelled to do
the dirty work of this brute
beast, becaue it was lin
the bold"---to evlct the
poor bilked bome-buyers
with the bayonet! In all
the history of English land
lordism in Ireland there is
naught so hellish. A crime
so damnable could have
originated only with the
Helene Harpies---or Mark
Hanna. McKinley's master
next secured all southern
Europe for cheap labor,
and soon congregated at
Spring Valley the most
grotesquely wretched ag-
gregation of ignorant helotes
ever seen on American soil.
The homes of evicted Ameri-
can miners were resold to
these foreign mendicants---
from whose competition the
Mckinley tariff was supposed
to afford protection! Driven
to despair, Hanna's ex-em-
ploye&-attacked his imported
poems, troops were called out
to protect them, and again
Spring Valleys cutters were
reddened with gore. Han,
ma triumphed as a matter of
course---t then cut down the
pauper wages of his new en-
ployes! But even the igno-
rant Huns and lousy Lazaro-
nj could not stand the pitiless
oppression of this "Industri-
al Cannibal." Another
strike, more troops, bayonets
and blood--.a the twice
paid for huts returned to the
possession of Mark Hanna!
Finding that white men,
howsoever debased, would
not submit to his merciless
exactions, he brought negros
from the south to supplant
his Huns, and again Spring
Valley became a seethlng
Hell---more workmen, driven
to desperation, left their
bones upon it's sanguinary
battle6elds.
That is but an episode,
and by no means the darkest
one in the history of Mark
Hanna. Such is the man
who is posing as the friend
and benefactor Of the tin
bucket brigade; who views
with alarm" the prospect of
having to pay his beloved en-
ployes with deprecated
dollars" who would build a
Chinese wall about this bles-
sed land Of Christ to protect
American labor from Euro
pean competition" Such is
the man now tearfully ap-
pealing to the people to "pre-
serve the honor Of our COM
mon country"

Texas in his paper,
TIE lCONOCLAsT.

ONNl " r n
trv, the Avatar of Greed,
the Scourge of God.
If the bones of all the
women and children he has
starved to death, and those
of all the workmen he has
slain to increase his heaps OF
gold, were gathered together
a triumphal arch could be
built herewith thro' which
Mckinley might ride to his
inaugural.
If all the suffering, and
heartache, if all the crime
born of need and all the des'
pair begotten of his lnsatlate
Greed were used to form
another He'll, the Prince OF
Darkness would stand ap-
palled.
If all the blood and tears
he has caused to flow to
fertilize his fortune could be
collected in one pool, his
navy might ride at anchor
there, while his half-starved
seamen manned the yards
and fired salutes in honor of
that blessed era of Progress
and Prosperity" which he is
contriving for the sons of
toll.
WHO is MARK HANNA?
He is the man denounced by
Master Workman Sovereign
as IAN Industrial Cannibal-
worse even than Carnegie. "
Why was he thus denounced?
Because he has entrapped
hundreds--- thous-
ands,-.of confding workmen
into signing contracts which
enabled him to withhold one
half their wage and add it to
his hoard. Because he has
for years owed thousand of
dollars to empaupered ship
builders, which he confesses
was honestly earned, yet
declines to pay, pleading
that under the contract he IS
not liable until the ships are
sold;" yet these same ships
are sailing the lakes in his
service, Because he has
deliberately swindled thous-
ands of poor working people
out Of the little homes which
their toll had paid for, and
driven them forth to perish.
Because he has ruthlessly
trampled the life out of a
dozen labor unions, and to-
day''.both on land and sea-
pays the lowest wages of
any American employer.
Because he organized and
managed the Infamous coal
pool of 1898, which threw
thousands Of miners out of
employment in the dead Of
winter, while netting the
consplrators millions of
dollars-'-wrung from the
American people during the
hardest period in their
history. Because across the
door of his every shop and
above the mouth Of his every
mine is written in letters of
neither fire, "ABANDoN
HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER
HERE"
Every dollar of Mark
Hanna's millions has been
coined from the life-blood of
labor, Does any doubt it?
Then let them turn to the

know what it really is that
his dupes are following to
their destruction, were to
crave the power to weave
sentences with warp Of flame
and woof of aspics' fangs to
lash the rascal naked through
the world.
If Mckinley is elected
president, Mark Hanna will
be the power behind the
throne. Why? Because he
owns Mckinley more COM
pletely than he did the
Spring Valley miners wien
master of their employment
and holding mortgages on
their homes. He holds Nc
Kinley's notes for $118,OO0,
representing that indebted
ness which he assure us was
wiped out "by the spontane-
Gus offerings of a grateful
people" Il h e grateful
people aforesaid consisted of
a syndicate O f high-tariff
benahciaries with Mark
Hanna at it's head---men not

is now known that the
former was partner to latter
and expected to share his
profits that the "sweet

fake perpetrated by Mark
Hanna to strengthen the
credit of his creature with
the people. The inside his
tory of that failure has
never Deen made public; but
Mark Hanna has the inter-
esting secret safe-locked in
his nice fat head, Mckinley
was saved for a purpose
was regarded by Hanna and
his associates as a good in
vestment; but to make sure
of his slavery---to prevent
him going on strike---nei
his notes nor the carefully
guarded papers pertaining
to his commercial collapse,
have been destroyed. They
repose in the safety vaults
of Hanna, with the deeds
to those Spring Valley
homes---and there they will
remain until Mckinley has
purchased his freedom by
serving the purposes of the
syndicate at the expense Of
the people.

Carrying Power of the Bicycle.

Afreight car weighing 80, 900 pounds
will sustain weight of go, 900 pounds,
aud, drawn by forty-ton locomotive,
will travel over smooth rails at the
average rate of twenty miles an hour.
A two-horse farm wagon weighing
1900 pounds will carry $500 pounds
over good roads, drawn by horses
weighing 2200 pounds in the aggre-
gate and moving at the average rate
of five miles an hour. But twenty
four pound bicycle will carry man
weighing ITS pounds or more, and,
over country road, with minimum
of effort, will move at the rate of ten
miles an hour.
These figures are indicative of new
err in locomotion and serve to empha-
size the wonderful results achieved by
the pneumatic tire. A freight car
carries twice its weight twenty miles
in an hour; the bicycle carries seven
times its weight ten miles in an hour.
1t is probable that, with weight,
power and speed considered, nothing
has ever been invented which presents
such results in carrying and locomo-
tive capacity as are shown by She
bicycle. 1t is only the question as to
whether the principle has reached its
greatest perfection in the bicycle
which suggests a limit to the accom-
plishments of the pneumatic tire and
the ball.bearings. The minimum OF
weight and the minimum of friction
seem to have been attained. Are these
applicable to other than the tandem
wheels which now are.so universally
necessary to both business and pleas
ure?
AS compared with the ordinary
wagon and with the ordinary railroad
car, the bicycle seems to present just
now most interesting suggestion to
the constructor of vehicles of whatso-
ever character. Chicago Record.

Pheasants and Thunder.

The effect of thunder, OF the firing
OF cannon, on pheasants is very Curl
ous; either of these sounds starts the
cock birds growing as if in. defiance.
Mr.. G. T. Rope, writing to the Zoolo-
gist, says that ut place between five
and six miles distant from the garri.
son town of Colchester he has heard
pheasants close to him echoing each
report of the artillery practising there,
and has on many occasions noticed the
same thing elsewhere. The Growing
sounds more like the answer to chal-
lenge than the expression of fear. Mr..
J. E. Harting points out that the OBJ
servation is not new. Gilbert White
remarked o century ago that the
pheasanbs in his neighborhood crowed
when big guns were fred at Ports
mouth and the wind was blowing from
that direction; and, says Mr.. Harting,
Charles Waterton also, in his Essays
on Natural History, makes the follow
ing remarks on the subject: "The
pheasant crows at all seasons on retir-
ing to roost. 1t repeats this call often
during the night, and again at early
dawn and frequently in the daytime,
on the appearance of an enemy, or at
the report of gun, or during thun'
der storm. Mature.

MPeroxidingO Horses.

One of the most interesting and
novel schemes that is resorted to when
it comes to "doctoring" up horse for
sale is "peroxiding." Horses just
suitable for team work, save that they
do not quite match in color, are now
Chemically blondined" to the tint de-
sired almost in the twinkling of an eye.
The processssis precisely the same as
that which any peroxide blonde"
damsel undergoes when she changes
her hair from brown to dull yellow.
The same chemical is employed and in
the same way, only the horses coat
gets more thorough course Of treat
ment.
Z a. "peroyided horse" shows what has
been done to him soon after his new
owner takes him away, and frequently
thereafter he has to be "touched up"
This "bleaching" does not lnjure the
horses any more than it does the aver
age girl, but the chemically tinted
coat seldom looks we'll when closely
examined, the dark roots of the hair
showing on careful ins 'ection. Yet it
deceives the average .uyer on every
occasion and he will declare the team
perfect match. The trick is played
quite frequently by the horse "jips,"
and it is an easy awindle. New York

Rode on tho First Locomotive.

English papers say that Crawford
Marley, who recently died in New
Zealand at the age of eighty-tnree.
was the last survivor Of those who had
ride on Stephenson's No. l engine
when the Stockton and Darlington
Railway was first opened. He was
about thirteen years of age at the
time, and, with two other boys, he
went to see the "iron horse" which
was brought from Newcastle on dray
by eight horses. When the locomo-
tive had been placed on the line,
George Stephensor's brother, Joseph,
who was in charge of it, asked the
lads to run to farmhouse for some
buckets, and the boiler was soon filled
from spring near at hand. The fire
having been lighted and steam raised,
the boys, in return for their assist
ance, were invited to have ride

Compressed Air Fog Horns.

Before great while steam fog.
machinery will probably
have become obsolete in the United
States, and compressed air apparatus,
with which satisfactory experimental
results have latterly been achieved,
will take its place. The greatest ad.
vantage, perhaps, which compressed
air fog horn outfit offers. is the quick
ness with which the sound can be
made. Under the old method it took
from forty-five to sixty minutes to
light the fires under the boilers for the
generation OF the steam to blow the
horns. Now, in five minutes air can
be compressed in the tank, and blast
of maximum force can be given i'm
med1ately. .--Cassier's Magazine.

Two Little Words.

Two little words that trembled on my tongue,
And still those syllables remain un5poken;
Two souls that fate In one accord has strung,
Could we tho cruel silence but have broken;
Two little words, on which our futures hung,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.
Two little words, to utter which I'd striven.
But still those syllables remain unspoken.
We'd but to taste the bliss go freely given,
Could wethe cruel silence but have broken;
Two words, that might have made this earth
heaven,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.
My vain regret my hour Of peace deprives,
For still those syllables remain unspoken;
That Joy were ours that life from love de-
rives,
Gould we the cruel silence but have broken;
Two little words that might have linked two
lives,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.
