a little handbook of American pol
itics, as well as the. recollections of
those men in the arena of Office for
the past quarter of century will
show how futile would be a third
ticket against either Bryan or McKin-
ley. The experiment of a straight out
ticket was tried in 1872, when the
Democrats had nominated Horace
Greeley, a former Republican. The
convention of the faithful was held at
Louisville and it seemed to give great
promise. a most ridiculous showing
was made. The names of the nom
inees are almost forgotten and are i'm
material. Not a single state was car.
ried and the total of the popular vote
for the straight out Democratic ticket
was less than 10000. The whole vote
was 6,50OO00 and every vote cast for
the third ticket was simply vote
thrown away.

And now it is claimed, with a good
backing of facts, that the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan was not at all the acct
dental or peculiar triumph of dark
horse. VIM. c. Whitney and Senator
Hill both say that the selection was
due to shrewd plans laid more than
six months in advance. They give the
credit, or blame, to Speaker Crisp,
whose state presented Bryan. 1t is
brought out that last winter Mr.. Crisp
was schemed to the end reached and
that his fine italian hand on behalf OF
the Nebraskan was even ADLER at
manipulation than the member en-
ployed by Mr.. Hanna. There is much
offered in evidence to confirm the
opinion of Messrs. Hill and Whitney
and to give Mr.. Crisp rank as the
greatest, smoothest and most silent
political manager of the day. Mr..
Crisp is at present in Europe.

Prompt attention to bust
ness has been the secret of
success by many business men.
A superior stock of goods and
prompt delivery when we sell
them is bringing us as much
trade as anything. Usually
people don't order groceries
until they need them; our
wagons are always ready to
deliver the goods.
In the line of table delicacies
Frankfurter Sausages rank
with the best goods imported
to the country. Chili-con-
carne is another for those who
can make a meal of Chill pep
pers without shedding a tear.
Picnic Lobster, Vienna Sau-
sage, Cocktail Salmon, Oxford
Sausage, Baritari Shrimps,
Huckings Celebrated Soups
and Clam Chowder serve to
satisfy the taste of those who
hunger for delicacies.
But for a breakfast dish
Shredded Cod Fish takes the
cake. Here's how to fix it:
Mix with one cup hot mashed potatoes
(unseasoned) y cup Beardsleys Shred
ded Goldfish, just as it comes in the box.
Add to this one small egg and a speck
of pepper, beating all till light and
creamy. Shape, roll in dried bread
crumbs, dip in beaten egg, which has
one tablespoonful of milk added to it,
then in crumbs again. Place in frying
basket, fry in deep hot fat, just below
the smoking point, till rich brown.
Drain on brown paper.

Mr.. L. A. Rocher is a farmer re-

interview with Mr.. S. T. Godfrey,

on the 18th of June, 1895, said:
81 am 81 years of age, and until
1 was nigh onto fifty years old,
1 was always well and peart,
then for long while and until
last February, suffered with
Indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and
has written daughter to send
some more of Mr.. Ripan's med
icine. I want you to tell every
body how l got cured, for it is a
blessing to humanity.

DEAR TEAcHERs:-Y Youperhaps read in the
TRANscRIpr of last week that its editor
Mr.. Downham. still extends to us the pri.
vilege of using column in his paper for
educational purposes. and says that we are
left to accept or reject his offer.
Last year, when he made the proposition,

new undertaking. At present, however. /
have ch Hanged my mind, not that ! have
more leisure. but that feel the teachers
need to be brought into closer union. We
do not know each other we'll enough.
Teachers naturally need sympathy, and not
few of us would like to ask advice of our
fellow teachers were we not so ,timid.
Now, do you not think q Teachers

tage to us? Why, am Of the opinion it
would make us all good friends by the next
Institute, and there would be no need of
introductions. At least hope not, for I
think have been introduced to six or eight
of you in two years! Is that the way to
welcome stranger? At that rate it would
be twenty years before should be intro
duced to the last one You see that would
not leave many years for the last two of us
to console each other in old age.
So the Round Table would bring US into
a closer relationship, and our thoughts
would be directed along the same lines once
aweek. Many of the suggestions given
ought to prove beneficial
To become member of the Teachers
Round Table" it is necessary to be reader,
of the TRANSCRIPT, and to give US your kind
sympathy.
All teachers and pupils who expect to
teach should take an interest in the teachers
column
All questions should be plainly written.
and mailed to me.
Those desiring to join the Round Table
should send their names to me for enroll
ment, and have their names put on the
subscription list of the Transcript. The
latter should be sent to Mr.. Downham.
Each teacher should send with her first
letter an assumed name, under which all
her questions will be answered.
