been contended that under this pro
vision Kansas could make Mexican
silver dollars legal tender within
her borders, but it generally has been
believed that under this and other
constitutional provisions, including
that forbidding the impairment OF
contracts, any such law would be held
invalid by the courts.

If our wcrkingmen think their wages
are too high by so per cent and would
rather have them paid in dollars that
will buy only half az much in the mar
kets and at the stores, they will vote for
Mr.. Bryan and free coinage Of silver.
If they think, as we do, that this would
be free and unlimited folly on their
part, they will stand by Thomas Jeffer-
sons common sense doctrine that dol
lars should be coined as near the mar
ket ratio as possible, so that they will
buy 100 cents worth Of goods wherever
they are rendered. Baltimore Sun.

AMERICAN REVOLUTION
It's leading serial feature for 1897 and the
masterpiece of its author, DR.. ). Weir
Mitchell. The story, Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" purports to be the auto
biography Of its hero, an officer on
Washington's staff. Social life in Phil
adelphia at the time of the Revolution is
most interestingly depicted, and the
characters include Washington, Frank
lin, Lafayette, and Others well known in
history. 1t is safe to say that the readers
of this great romance will obtain from
it a clearer idea of the people who were
foremost in Revolutionary days, and OF
the social life of the times, than can be
had from any other single source. Inc
work is not only historically accurate,
but is a most interesting story of love
and war. The first chapters are in the
November number. Howard Pyle will
illustrate it.

SHE HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS.
A Life Sketch in Three Scenes.
THE FIRST.

=
The sun peeped timidly through the
luxurious growth Of morning glory
vines that screened the end Of the YER
anda which almost encircled the beau
tif,1 house in an Ohio town. The
south wind waited the perfumes OF the
early summer time. A tiny pug dog
raced about the lawn, poking his nose
with inquisitive sauciness into out OF
tbe wav hooks and corners, barking
petulantly now and then as some
droning bee buzzed perilously close to
his ears.
In the doorway sat Golden Locks,
rocking huge doll that wilfully re-
fused to slumber Golden Locks
cheeks were as pink as the old-fash-
toned Sweet Williams that grew in the
kitchen garden. Her eyes were as
blue as the sky at twilight, and her
mouth like a rosebud. Naughty
dolly," she said and then began to
sing in a sweet, childish treble:
Bye, oh baby, bye, oh baby;
Bye, oh baby, bye, oh baby, bye.
TWELVE YEARS LATER.
A crowded auditorium.
The rustic of fans, the whispered
hum of conversation, the crackle and
snap OF programmes then the sudden
hush of expectancy, as the conductor
of the orchestra waved his baton.
A stage beautifully decorated with
flowers. A semi circle of sweet young
maidens sitting beneath wreaths Of
greens and iestoons Of vines.
A class motto:

In A Dilemma.

This is the position in which you
are often placed, when suddenly taken
with severe cramps or pain and the
Doctor is away. Moral: Keep a bot
tie of MAGIC PAIN BALM in the house.
1t is a king among pain killers. For
external and internal use. Cures
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Crainp Col

N1HrL N1sI LAHORE.

Gracefully one of the fairest of the
graduates rises to her feet and adj
vances to the front of the stage.
The orchestra plays the prelude.
Suddenly the auditorium is filled with
the melody of the nightingale. In
ripping waves ofmelody, now slowly,
now merrily, the magnificent voice
follows the accompaniment until, at
the finale, it bursts forth i'll glorious
tones that ring and reverbate until the
very walls and ceiling seem to take
up the grand harmony.
Superb extraordinary, divine y
exclaimed a stranger who sat in the
rear.
TEN YEARS LATER.
A dull, muggy night in the metro
politan district.
Mist leaking everywhere.
The street lamps blurred, the pave
ments running with rivulets of filthy
water, the crossings muddy and the
people on the streets cross and irrita-
Bile.
An impatient crowd rushing con-
fusedly from the Brooklyn Bridge to
their homes. Some scrambling into
cars some hurrying for the elevated
trains; some, with short distances to
walk, descending to the street en-
frances. A short distance up the
street the onward rush is DETECTED.
A group of some size has collected,
and the loiterers appear to be looking
with evident interest at some one in
the center.
Hush 1t is music and woman S
voice.
See, she is blind, and, as she sings,
she clasps her hand tightly upon the
shoulder of the man who is playing
au accompaniment on little street
organ.
He, too, seems blind.
She is dressed neatly, though poor
ly, and her clothing is saturated with
the falling mist.
Now and then penny drops into
the cup.
Listen She sings another song
How her voice trembles, how patheti-
cally she sings the words, "She may
have seen better days
She was once Little Golden Locks
Exchange.

Boston Wool Houses Petition for the
DingIey Bill.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
secured the signature, without regard
to party, of every wool house but four
in Boston, to a petition for the Ding
ley bill. Of the four houses that did
not sign, only one believes the bill
should not pass. The petition is as
follows
1--WE are Of the opinion that unless
the Dingley bill, as a measure of tenn
porary relief, is passed by the present
Senate at once, the American market
will be flooded with foreign wool and
woolens, and business improvement
retarded by the excessive supply
We respectfully call the attention OF
the Finance Committee of the Senate
to this commercial condition.

Process Successfully.


Process Successfully.
Professor Trowbridse director of the
Jefferson physical laboratory Of Harvard
college, obtained the other afternoon a
distinct impression upon n Photographic
plate by means Of the Professor Rontgen
cathode rays acting through wood n
pasteboard. The impression has been
fixed and is capable Of giving print upon
ordinary blue print or other sensitive pa
per.
A very sensitive Cramer dry plate about
4 inches long and IL inches wide was
put, film side up, into a wooden box hav-
ing a close fitting sliding wooden cover.
Upon the sensitive plate were laid two
clear glass slips, less than one-sixteenth OF
an inch thick. A space was left between
them about 4 inches long and one-half
an inch deep. Across the glass slips to
hold them in place was pot n narrow bar of
pine wood flve-sixteenths of IN inch thick.
The wooden cover, three-sixteenths Of IN
inch thick. was then pushed into place.
The wooden box thus prepared was placed
within n covered pasteboard box. the walls
OF which were about one-thirty second Of
an inch thick. The pasteboard box with
its contents was placed ope or two inches
from the brightly fuorescSnt part Of an
ordinary spherical Crooke's tube, and the
action was maintained with this orange
ment about two minutes, when the tube
became so hot that the operation was
stopped. The sensitive plate was then
taken out and developed with rodinol.
Soon the part which had not been shield
cd by tho glass slips began 20 show dark,
and In a very short time the development
was completed, the boundaries of the ex-
posed part of the plate being well defined
for the whole length of the plate. The
image was then fixed" IN the ordinary
way.-Now York SIM.
