water was in our ears, but we couldn't
pass Bill-could he hear it too?
We neither of us tried to speak, but
we crept over to where he lay. He was
half sitting, half lying against bowl
der, and he was looking the other way
so that we couldn't gee his face, but
Tom had been right. A big, rough,
shapeless mass of almost pure gold was

again. There we let the water run over
our hands, and dipped cur dry faces in
the stream. At last we went baA1k to
Bill.
We stood and looked IT him, did Tom
and me. "What's that in his other
hand, mate?" said Tom, in whisper.
It was a letter, worn and brown, and
frayed along the edge. Lets bury it
with him, Tom," said. "Not us, mate.
Fair docs atween mates-that's wot I
say-mayhap it'll tell who it belongs
to. Read it, mate; it can't hurt no one

I read the letter a. well az could.
No need to say what i! said, but when I

simple But Excellent Device for Hanging
Milk in Wells.
Where ice is not at hand, the custom
of hanging milk cans in the well, for
GOODNESS, is often practiced. The IL
lustration shows device for holding
four cans securely within the well, with
a chance to draw up water between the
cans, the curved iron rods affording this

chance. If the well IL not large enough
fer a square frame, q stout hoop can be
used, thus economizing space. It is
surprising how nicely milk and many
other articles can thus be kept in a
deep well, even in extraordinary hot
weather. It Is equally surprising how
many families fail to use this simple
device, which is SO easily made and so
very convenient.-Orange Judd Farmer.

THEY GO TOGETHER.

Better Roads and Wider Tires Are Needed
Everywhere.
Farmers have more reason TO agitate
for good roads than any other class, not
even excepting bicyclers. Good roads
to the former mean economy in reach
ing markets; often better markets, be-
cause they could be reached at the
right time; advantages of social life
in the winter and early spring; saving
in time and in the wear and breakage of
wheeled vehicles, and a general ad-
vance in all that pertains to higher
state of civilization.
Bicyclers are doing much to pro-
mote good roads. Now is the time for
our farmers to make a positive move
in cooperation with them.
One improvement must go along with
that of better construction and drain
age of the roads. The wheels of all
vehicles should have wider tires. In
France the width of tire is from three
to ten inches, with the bulk of four
wheelers six inches. In Germany every
wagon for heavy loads must have at
least four-inch tire; Austria requires
tire of ~ inches wide; Switzerlad
requires all draft wagons to have 4
six-inch tire. If we were to build good
roads our wagons, as now constructed,
would speedily destroy them. They
are road-destroyers as certainly as il
built for the purpose. Go on and build
the roads, and begin at once to reform
the wagon wheels.-Western Rural.

w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts

the knowledge, that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, S. rup Of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or

again. Now and again we stopped and
sat down for a bit when our legs trem-
bled too much, and then, without a

The argument of the silver Democrats
that inasmuch rs they are in the major
ity they havs the right to determine the
platform seems fair and conclusive II
the gold Democrats b i'd a majority they
would certainly claim that right, and if
the Western delegates should set up the
claim that to espouse the gold standard
would in some way conflict with the fun
damental principles Of the party, which
ID what tho gold men are claiming with
regard to declaration for silver, they
would simply be laughed at. It is the
right of the majority to rule in the DEM
ocratjc convention. and If that majority
it for free silver it is it's right to record
that fact in the platform. If the mi
nority does not like it, it can leave the
party. 1t can walk out Of the conven.

explicitly endorsed the free coinage Of
silver at the Is to one ratio. Every gold
delegate has been chosen by a convention
that has condemned that policy. Hence
of necessity the quest ion Of the free
coinage of silver must be definitely and
sharply presented. 1t Is not as If one
side had expressed in q general way
friendliness to silver and the other equal
~ general unfriendline ss. Then there
would be chancs for concession and
compromise. The frien DIS OF the white
metal might modi fy some1 hat their
friendliness and its enemies might soften
somewhat their hostility. Less might be
done for silver than Its friends asked and
more than it's enemies wanted done. But
in the case Of the Chicago convention the
demand is going to be specific and the
| opposition equally specific. The silver
men ask. not that the convention assume a
general attitude of friendiiness to the
white metal but that it grant it
| the definite privilege Of being coined an
| restrictedly at the ratio of 16 to one. The
| only answer that can be made TO this is
dSseu0 Cf refusal. Il CIo CCnV6E6iOI- say
1--WE will De friend ly to silver and when
opportunity offers we will show it some
fayors,o 1t says just as effectively, il less
definitely, that it will not assent to the
demand of the silver men. No straddle
can be constructed by the noHt ingenious
politician that will not be in effect a re-
fHsal of the demand of the silver men
or an ignoring of the protest OF the gold
| men. IN the form in which the silver
question will present itself neither side
| can yield anything without yielding ev
erything. If the silver men abandon
| their demand for the endorsement for
free coinage, which they must do as "a
condition president to straddle plat
form, they abandon the very thing which
they have been seut there to contend for.
And if the gold men assent to free coin
age they cannot possibly surround 1t
with any conditions which will lave it
from being complete surrender On their
part. The campaign for the delegates
has been fought on the specific issue Of
free coinage or no free coinage, and
there is no middle course between these
two positions. which either wing can take
without one or the other abandoning
completely the principle OF policy for
which it has been contending. g.4

The Liberals have carried the Canadi-

it almost always a wide variance be-
tween the profession of a party out of
power and it's practice in power. Doubt
less the Liberal government will refo m
the tariff, but in all probability the re-
form will be much less radical than the
anti-eleotion talk on the platform would

short Of fulfilling its promises as to be
stigmatizsd as 'perfdy and dishonor'
by the official head of the party. Prob
ably a more perplexing question than
the tariff for tho new government to
settle will be the Manitoba school ones
tiou. When that matter is taken ND it
will probably be found that there is
about as much difference of opinion as
to tho proper method of settling it
among the Liberals as there was among
the Conservatives. The fundamental
difficulty with it is that while the law is
ono way public sentiment is another and
just the opposite way. The law must be
broken or public sentiment defed, and
neither horn Of the dilemma is pleasant
one.

1t is a little difficult co understand
how it is that while free silver triumphs
in Illinois overwhelmingly IN Wisconsin
the gold standard is victorious. One
would naturally suppose that about the
same sentiment would be found in both

PLANTATION is that in Wisconsin the party
leaders have been gen orally gold men
while in Illinois they have been friends
