AT one Of the large thread factories,

found that those who Wore the other

times each day TO tie the laces that con

Awriter in the New York Sun credits
a doctor with making the discovery Of a
'hotel complexion" among women. A
lady passed who looked well and was
thoroughly well groomed. She had a
good complexion, but it was not the
kind that spoke Of outdoor exercise,
strong muscles and blood coursing
through the veins like mild current Of
electricity. The doctor knew at d glance
that the woman was Of those who

UNENDING.

There IS an end TO kisses and to sighs;
There is an end to laughter and to tears,
An end to fair things that delight our eyes,
An end to pleasant sounds that charm our
ears,
An end to enmity's foul libeling
And to the gracious praise Of tender friend;
There is end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is end
That warrior carved an empire with his sword.
The empire now is but like him-a name.
That statesman spoke and by burning word
Kindled a nation IS heart into a fame.
Now naught is left but ashes, and we bring
Our homage to new men; to them we bend
There is end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else, alasl
Mems eyes grow dim, and they no beauty see.
The glorious shows Of nature pass and pass.
Quickly they come; as quickly do they flee,
And he who hears the voice Of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell Of his
friend.
There is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All the Year Round.

College Sound Money Clubs.

The Sound Money Democratic Club of
Harvard College, through Mr.. Writ Howe
chairman of its committee OH ;ntercolleg-
late organization, has addressed an invita-
ton to all college sound money clubs to
Join In support of the Indianapolis ticket
The text of the appeal is as follows:
1--WE, the democratic club of Harvard
University. feel that the present condition
OF political affairs calls for a prompt and
unqualified expression of the attitude of
that portion of the American student body
who hold to the traditional principles Of
the democracy; and that the cardinal prin-
ciples of sound money, tariff for revenue
Only and civil service reform, as set forth
in the convention held at Indianapolis, Sep
tember 2, 1896. should be actively support
ed by all those who are opposed to a de-
based currency, class legislation and all
forms of paternalism in government.
Feeling sure that the democratic clubs
of all the colleges of the country coincide
with us in this belief, we ask you to CO.
operate with US in the immediate formation
of a permanent intercollegiate league of
democratic clubs which shall have for its
object the furtherance of the principles re-
affirmed in the Indianapolis platform, and
which shall take an active part in their
practical expression in the politics of the
future. Our belief in the need of such an
organization Is as firm as our confidence
in Its success when once formed"

WATSON BLAMEs DEMOCRATS.
He Says POpulists VIII Not He Re.
spOnsible for Bryan's Defeat.

spOnsiDle Tor Brynn's Defeat.
Thos. E. Watson, the ecpopuistt vice presi-
dental candidate, made speech at Gads-
den, Ala, yesterday, and during its delivery
the platform fell, but no one was hurt, The
feature of the populist candidates speech
was his attack upon the democrats in the
south-especially in Georgia and Alabama
for not fusing with the populists, whose
their electors had been refused with scorn
and contempt.
Col. r. B. Kyle, a prominent silver demo-
crat, asked Watson If he did not consider
that he was endangering the election of
Bryan.
Watson asked if there was any danger of
Mckinley electors being chosen in Ala
bama, whereupon Kyle replied affirma atively.
Watson asked: "Then why don't you get
together? Our boys are willing to- While
1 am primarily opposed to fusion, / am
being chosen" continued Watson
I'VE have made propositions here in Ala
lama, but your party has not even consid-
cred them. Therefore, If Bryan Is defeated
the fault will be with the democrats and
not with the populists. Both the democrats
and populists want Bryan, but without the
100000 populists' votes Bryan has not a
ghost of a chance. State Chairman Deans
here authorized the proposition that the
Alabama populists would pull down six of
their electors II the democrats would pull
down five"
In conclusion. Watson reiterated his pur-
pose not to withdraw, saying he would car
hands to glorious victory or honorable de-
feat. e.--s.e

Hi. Horse Saved His Life.

From the Rhodesian Times, Salisbury, South Africa
When Surgeon Captain Grey was riding
alongside the wagon which served for an
ambulance in the retreat from Hartley, he
was knocked off his horse by a bullet,
which wounded him severely in the hip.
He lay on his face in the grass, the enemy
keeping up a heavy fire all the time. When
the rear guard came along the doctors
horse went with them. but, after going
about 200 yards, he circled hack to the
spot where the doctor was lying and put
his head down to see what the trouble
was The doctor promptly seized the
reins got on his back somehow, and re-
Joined the column. There Is no doubt that,
had it not been for this extraordinarily sa-
gacious action on the part Of the horse the
doctor would soon have bled to death, and
he says that II he can get permission he
will never part with the friend who did him
such excellent service In the time Of his
worst need.

What a Red Hat Costs.
From the New York Times.

tne view AInes.
The red hat of a cardinal costs him more
money than kings pay for any except their
very best crowns. Before accepting it, the
grateful prelate must make offerings to the
propaganda and to his titular church at
Rome, and pay fees to a long list of Off
cials, ranging from chamberlains Of the
vatican down to the cooks and sweepers
and the soldiers Of the Swiss Guards. In
deed, the new cardinal has to pay fees at
every step from the moment Of his creation
to the occasion of his receiving the red hat
in public consistory. and when all is over
and done finds himself out of pocket to the
extent Of $500. at least. If the cardinal is
without means to defray the cost of his
elevation. and II he Is to reside at Rome
the vatican is ready to make him a loan
to be repaid in installments out of his
yearly allowances.

How 1t May Stand.

There may be some changes one way or
the other between this and the election.
but as the tide has turned once more to
Mckinley, the changes are more likely to
be in his favor than against him. The bold
stand taken by Mr.. Sheerin, formerly sec
retary of the democratic national commit
tee, and b. Col. Mclean, deputy commits
sioner of pensions in Cleveland's first ad-
minstration, is having great effect. Each
of those gentlemen wields a very large in
huence in democratic ranks, and as they
both strongly denounce fusion and protest
against democrats being forced to vote for
populists many changes from Bryan may
be looked for each day.
So much have the republicans been en-
couraged during the last few days that
they now feel certain of being able to con-
troll the next legislature. The democratic
and populist fusion is not panning out just
as its promoters desired. The great mass
of German votes in the state will be
against Bryan, and they declare they do
not desire to have the matter in doubt, so
they will vote directly for Mckinley. This
is true not only in the cities, but among
the German: farmers. Bishop Chatard's
letter is also having very decided effect.

Kentucky Legislature Patches
Up a Truce.

WASHINGTON, jan 21.-Senators
Sherman, Morgan and Lodge, who
constitute the subcommittee on Gu
ban affairs of the committee on for
elgn relations, met yesterday for con-
sultation upon the question of recog-
nizing the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents. The meeting was strictly
private and nothing was given out
concerning it.
There is reason for believing that
the subcommittee has virtually agreed
upon a resolution recommending the
recognition of the belligerency of the
Cubans, and that a report to this eff
feet Will be made to the full commit
tee at the meeting tomorrow.
There is feeling in the committee,
however, that congress is far behind
the sentiment of the country on the
question, and that the time is ripe for
action.

considered that these stones average about
40 pounds each and are sent distance of
SO yards, the skill and strength required
are plain.
One of ths most important adjuncts of
the game is sweeper. This is man with
q broom who watches the progress of his
sides stone as it approaches the circle
and must judge at once if it requires his
assistance. If he sees that it does, he car
RIGS the stone along, as it were. That is,
he keeps ahead of the stone, sweeping the
ice quickly and facilitating the travelling.
Tt looks to be the least expert branch of
the game but is one which requires quick
perception. bungling sweeper may lose
Kinks by Understanding the velocity Of
the stone and by his sweeping carry it be-
yond the desired point and out of the big
circle. On the other hand, he may think
that the stone does not require much as
sistence and see his mistake only when it
loses Roadway and stops very much short
of it's goal
Reference is often made to the roaring
game by writers on curling, term that
is very often misunderstood by the gener-
al public, for, although the skips, in di-
recting their men, may sometimes speak
above a whisper, it is the sound made by
the stones, not the noise made by the
players, that is referred to. On q clear,
frosty day the booming or roaring of the
curling stones as they glide along the ice
has been heard for miles. This booming
has a peculiar charm to the ear of q keen
curler and will act on him as o magnet
will on true steel.

nous Gordon medal
ander Mitchell of Milwaukee, when that
gentleman was patron of the National
club, and has been the subject of keen ri
valry in II annual boDspiels from New
York to Portage City, Wis. The most sue
oessful skip has been George Frazier of the
Yonkers club who with his three sons,
has won the Mitchell medal three times
against the best curling skill on this con-
tinent. The Frazier rink met the western
champion, the Wells rink of Portage City,
in d prearranged match for the champion
ship at Toronto three years ago, and re-
turned to Yonkers victorious and as mod
est as when it started on its journey.
The Mitchell medal was played for at
Albany last winter and won by James
Mcneil, skip of rink of the Empire City
club, q noted curler, who has practiced the
game in his native Dumfriesshire, at Win
nipeg and around New York.
There are few amusementS which excite
more interest than the game of curling.
In the severest weather a good curler,
while engaged in his favorite amusement,
feels no cold. In playing himself, or
sisting his rink with his broom, he finds
sufficient exercise to keep him warm.
Briefly described, curling may be Hkened
to an exaggerated game of shufaeboard.
Kinks AZ yards in length are laid out up
on the ice. At each end is z foot cir
Gle, in which are smaller rings. Each team
has four players. In each round the play
ers are permitted to send two curling
stones, the objective point being the z
foot circle at the other end. OF course
~ one of the ends is in play at time.
One player skins a stone down to the z
foot circle at the other end; then ono
of his opponents has shy; then the first
players partner has chance and SO on
theyealternate. After all the stones have
been propelled to the other end the points
are counted The side having placed their
stones to tho best advantage in the
foot circle receives it's relative points, and
then the men at the other end of the rink
have their turn. And SO it goes on for
hours.
Expert curriers' attain wonderful skill
at the pastime The control of the heavy
stones is really remarkable. Say that A
leads off with a skim which places lis
stone in the very center of the smallest
ring in the foot circle. 1t will be BIS
play not only to knock this stone of AS
from its advantageous position, but to so
control the momentum of his own stone
that it will not carom out of the circle
When players secure good positions in the
CIRCLE the object Is sc .heze place stones as
to protect this winner. To get around
| these guards players combine the skill Of
a baseball pitcher curving ball with the
experiences of billiard player, making a
| delicate carom for position. When it il
