POOR BOB WHITE.
4 Plea for the Shy Game Bird when rs
weather IL Bad.

A Plea for the Shy Gsme Bird when ths
weather IL bad.
When snow covers the ground ana
sleet envelops trees and shrubs many
birds of various kinds seek the farm.
house and it's vicinity. They seem TO
know that in their extremity man 10
their friend Their confidence is not
misplaced; they are literally fed by difs
fercnt members of the household until
the emergency has passed and they are
again able to make their own living.
These birds come to mans abode for
protection as well MS for food, and after
the cravings of hunger are appeased
they stay around the dwelling, feeling
that the predatory hawk fox, owl and
the heartless, rnurderous gunner of this
season win not reclslessly venture to
assail them. Frequently these birds
return season after season to the same
homestcads. BY reason OF their appeal
to mankind birds of this class seldom
die from the effects of hard winters,
says the Baltimore Sun.
That the great game bird, the part
ridge, excessively wild and timid, does
not, when privntion comes, seek mans
homestead like the birds mentioned
above, though in extremes Of weather
a covey Of cartridges may be seen
about the strawyards where cattle are
housed and fed. Their presence about
such places is proof Of their sufferings,
for they only leave their accustomed
haunts and Businesses when sorely
pressed for want of food. These birds
have been found dead in severe wealth
er, poisoned from eating laurel to sat-
isfy their hunger. Clothed in beauti-
full plumage Of hues in accord with the
ground, they escape fairly we'll from
the hawk in ordinary times, but they
stand out in bold relief on the snow
and fall an easy prey to the tireless, in
satiate hawk, as well as the fox and
owl. 1t is against the law to either
shoot or trap this noble bird at this
season, and farmers and others should
zee that no marauding in this line is
done. In addition to preserving this
gallinaceous bird the agriculturist
knows that the partridge is the farm
er's friend, and that he destroys myri-
ads Of injurious insects, thus protect
ing the grain crops and the fruit from
much injury. Everyone, whether resi-
dent Of the city or country, loves to
hear the call Bob White" on bright
summer days through harvest time and
early in the fall, when the young ones
are nearly grown, and to watch
the male partridge perched on the

heart. He is in trouble now. Let

Spokane Review.
A hat against tombstone is the
latest election bet. 1t was made
several days ago on a Lake Ceur
d'Alene steamer.
Travelling on the steamer was
Clarence Cunningham, the well
known mining man, who, by the
way, has no interest in silver
mines, but who is nevertheless a
strong silver man, and a drummer
for a tombstone mandatory in the
east. The two became involved
in a debate on the money question,
the drummer arguing for Mckinley
and the single gold standard and
Mr.. Cunningham championing the
cause of Bryan and silver. The
discussion grew heated, and re-
suited in Mr.. Cunningham Offering
to bet the drummer hat that
Bryan would be elected.
'I'll just take that bet," said
the drummer, land I'll put mp
against your hat a tombstone.
Mr.. Cunningham accepted and
the bet was duly recorded.
"When l win," said Mr.. Cum
ningham afterward, "I'll have an
epitaph engraved on that tomb
stone as follaws: Respectfully
dedicated to Mark Hanna and
I'll set it up on the Murray trail"

there isn't. They go down the avenue

"Our teachers are better paid

1tuin From the Gold Standard.

From letter of Senator j. ID.
Cameron to national republican
league, June 18th, 1891: "The
single gold standard seems to us
to be working ruin with violence
that nothing can stand. If its in
tluence is to continue for the future
at the rate of its action during the
20 years since the gold standard
took possession of the world, some
generation, not very remote, will
see in the broad continent of
America only a half-dozen over
grown cities keeping guard over a
mass of capital and lending it out
to population of dependent la
borers on the mortgage of their
growing crops and unfinished
handiwork. Such sights have been
common enough in the worlds his
tory but against it we all rebel.
Rich and poor alike; labor and
capital; churches and colleges-all
alike, and all in solid good faith,
shrink from such future as this. "

Many queer incidents are to be met

At one Of the founding hospitals up

and a white male child, exactly the
same age, and weighing the same to
the fraction of an ounce, were received
at the same time. They were both sui.
fering from the same ailment, which
appeared to be rather lack of strength
than disease. The pulse and tempera-
ture were the same, and they were
placed in the incubators at the same
time. Here was n capital chance to
make test Of the stamina in the two
races, and the doctors entered into the
affair as heartily as if the little ones
were their own. 1t was close call for

"Fish in captivity" said q man of
long acquaintance with fishes, "often

develop peculiarities. In an aquarium
that was connected with once, some
years ago, we had in a table tank six
striped bass, varying from six to thir-
teen inches in length. Five of these
bass used to feed ravenously, but the
sixth one, the biggest of all, would wait.
The five would rush up and hustle for
the food when it was put in the water;
the big one would lie down in one cor
ner and not come up at all. thought
he must be off his feed, and thought
I'd have to get some delicacy for him.
But one day when l had fed the
others, the big one still lying on the
bottom, tapped ON the side of the
tank and held out a live lillie. He
came up and took tho killie sharply:
there wasn't anything the matter with
him; he was lively and all right, and
couldn't account for his holding back,
except that he considered it beneath
his dignity to come up then and scram.

in the tank, and that he preferred te
wait.
AFTER that regularly fed the big
bass separately; after had put the
food for the rest in the tank would
hold out his and lie would come up and
take it out of my hands. 1 fed him in
this way every day for four months,
until we lost him and all the rest of
the fish in this tank by an accident"

There is little doubt, remarks tho
Pail Mall Gazette, that the talk about
fish feeling little pain when they IRE
hooked and killed, or hooked and lost,
is chiefly can't. All analogy points to
the conclusion that it must be extreme
ly unpleasant for fish, however cold
blooded q creature he be, to be caught
on hook and dragged out of his
element. At the same time it seems to
be an established fact that fish in manv
cases soon forget the wounds inflicted
by e hook.
a pike struck hard by many
hoosed minnow has been known to
come again at the bait in q few min
utes; and Mr.. Halford, in one of his
books, tells us that he once left a
wickham in grayling Of about three
pounds, which about q quarter of an
hour later he hooked and killed with
another fly. An autopsy having been
performed the wickham was discov-

Senator Shoup in his speech in
the senate in September, 1898 while
opposing the repeal of the Shcr-
man law, took the position, and
in that speech he showed that the
repeal of the Sherman law would
further reduce the volume of our
currency, and showed that We
needed more money. In speaking
upon this point he said: "Mono-
metallists have labored with untir-
ing industry through various chan
nels to convince congress that the
greatest danger of returning to
free coinage is in the fear that we
may finally reach a silver basis.
This is misleading; they know bet
ter. They do not tell us that we
would have too much money.
They know that the country needs
and demands more money, and the
demand and necessity for more
will continue to increase year by
year."

The following letter from Wy

Equal Suffrage clubs headquarters
in this city. 1t was written in re-
ply to many inquiries with ref
serence to equal suffrage in this
state:
"What has woman suffrage done
for Wyoming, you ask? 1t has
made the state celebrated for it's
advanced position upon the Geo.
nomic questions of the age. Since
the adoption of woman suffrage in
Wyoming, and its success, equal
suffrage has become a feature OF
the government policy of very
many commonwealth in various
parts of the world. Equal suf-
trage has in a degree removed a
large class of the citizens of the
state from being a dependent class,
and made them independent. The
elevation of a large portion of the
population ofany state from a con-
dition of political slavery to po-
litical liberty, cannot help but ele-

SILK FRCfI WOOD.
Recent Discovery of Great Commercial
Importance.

4 Recent Discovery Of Great CogansReaol
Importance.
At Bradford, England, silk has been
made from wood pulp SO much like the
real thing that it bids fair to occupy
place in commerce and use. 1t is pro-
duced by subjecting vegetable fiber to
the action of various acids, the re-
suit being product said to be Identical
with the filament of the worm, having
its lightness, luster and all its quail
tiles, including that of durability.
Commercially speaking, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, the Importance of the
discovery can hardly be overestimated.
and it is possible that it will produce
the most revolutionary consequence in
the trade in that commodity every
where. The worlds stock of silk, both
woven and raw, is immense and has al
ways held staple value likely to be
much shaken and disturbed by the In.
trusion OF new supply which can be
cheaply and abnndantly produced.
Samples OF yarn, fringe, braid, gimpa,
sewing silks, handkerchiefs, bro
cades and other fabrics, dyed in vark
GUS colors, have been exhibited by the
Bradford makers to the trade and pro-
nounced all right and up to the com.
mercial standard in all respects. With
artificial diamonds and rubies such as
are now being turned out in great
abundance. modern society will doubt

products, discrediting silver and
enhancing the price of gold. He

ton persistently used his power to
that end. He was determined to
contract the circulating medium
and demonetize one of the coins of
commerce, limit the volume of
money among the people, make
money scarce and therefore dear.
He would have increased the val
ne of money and diminished the
value of everything else-money

the poor then. He had left
their side.' He was not stand
