DEAF MUTES DANCE.

Jumping Mummy on the Piano Keeps x the Step for Them.
 A social club of deaf mutes exists in Warsaw since 1883, and as there are large number of persons thus afflict ed in the capital of Russian Poland, the club is doing very well. During the last week of carnival the club arranged a ball, and in order to enable the mem Der to dance to the music in time, very curious plan was adopted, which proved quite efficient. A large paper doll was rigged up on the piano, and the player, also deaf mute, who fur nished the music, which, of course, could not be heard by the members of the club; used pedal to make the paper figure move up and down in time with the piece played. A large sign alongside announced the character of the dance, and thus it became possible for the deaf mutes to enjoy the dances as if they were not afflicted with their organic shortcomings. Besides that. they were spared the agony Of those who could hear, for sop,e wag had tam pered with the piano, which was fright fully out of tune, even the player never noticing that fact. The deaf mutes danced into the early morning hours and unanimously voted the entertain ment magnificent success.

Witty Retort of . Priest to 8 Vulgar anu
 Ostentatious Parishioner.
 Concerning the celebrated Father Darcy, probably the greatest wit of that witty nation, Ireland, it is re- lated, says the Milwaukee Journal, that he once visited the palatial mansion of perfect specimen of the nouveaux riches who lived in the neighbo1hood of Dublin at the invitation of its pompous owner. He was shown all over the house, his host taking great pains, as is habitual in such cases, to keep the witty and observant priest well in formed as to the cost of all the beauti full things he was shown. Finally, after making the complete tour of the chateau, the library was reached, its tremendous shelves grooming under the weight of thousands upon thousands of volumes, resplendent in the most magnificent bindings. Here they seat ed themselves, and the host said, with a sigh of snobbish exultation:
 "Well, father, I have. brought you here last because this is my favorits room. The other rooms maybe give pleasure to my wife and my daughters, but this is my place-right here among these books, who are my friends. And these here on the desk (pointing to a score of ultra-looking volumes), are what I may call my intimate friends
 Father Darcy got up and examined one of them, when broad grin spread over his good-natured face, as he said:
 "Well, it's glad I am to see that you never cut your intimate friends"

Ohio Men Give Up.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. l3.-An 'Oma

from the Abner l.. Barckus Il Sons
Company, grain and seed merchants
at Toledo, O., to the effect that
that firm was dubious about doing
business for the fear that Bryan
would be elected.
1t was the same old letter sent
out for effect.
The Omaha firm, whose members
know considerably more about
grain than they do about politics,
promptly replied that there was no
danger of Bryan being elected, for
even Nebraska would go for Nc
Kinley. The following letter was
received in reply:

say no. There never has been as
much of one.sided question before
the American people to settle as is
the present one. Our Republican
candidate told us in plain language,
lin congress, in 1890, that he was

equal credit and honor with gold.

that plain American language
enough for You? And now, what
does he say to-day? lie don't say
much, it's true, but when he dares
to he says we must maintain. our
present gold standard until Johnny
Bull says we can go and dig our
silver from our own mountains and
coin it into money. Do we, az free,
business-like A mericans, want such
a changeable whip.about Tor presi-
dent? No, indeed. If we were
able to walk alone without any per-
nit from England in 1912. why
can't we to-day? They tell us to

an honest dollar. We say to be
for Bryan means to stand for all
honest dollars.
Mckinley says in his letter OF ac-
ceptance that "what we want is
money that does not fluctuatc in
value" He must not think silver
is money. That is just why we
want free coinage--so that our gold
and silver will be equal in value
be a sound and stable currency.
When it comes to party stoop-
ing to such desperate efforts as the
Republicans are, to still hold on to
their robbing system, as they are
doing right here and everywhere,
presume it is high time to down
such party.
