Keep Straight Ahead,

There will be other campaigns and
other elections after this Let popu-
lists aim to get the best results this
time, but remember that of all we
ask, only small proportion can be ex-
pected, even if this election goes our
way. But if defeated. we won't even
get that little and the need of the
party to keep up the movement will be
more felt and more demanded than
ever before Right management.
courage and full determination never
to stop until complete victory comes,
will eventually make the peoples party
the greatest ever seen in this country.
Keep this fact in view all the time, no
matter what arrangements you have
made temporarily for this campaign.-

Jackets Are Raging.

Fancy jacket effects are the latest
gowns, and the figaro is particularly
fashionable. A gown of dark blue
butchers linen is made with one of
the jackets deliberately embroidered
with white cotton braid. The skirt has
an odd pattern of the embroidery put
all around it, and over plain white
silk shirt is worn the jacket. which is
also embroidered. The sleeves are odd,
with the white silk, showing like 3
puff under half sleeve of the linen,
This white braiding will be seen on the
face of everything next season. AT
present it is novelty. The hat for
this gown is of dark blue straw,
trimmed with blue ribbon boas and
pink roses massed both on and unde,
the brim.-St. Louis Republic.

An hour later he was comfortably
established upon the veranda of the
colonies home, loungng invalid-wisa
in the library easy-chair which Hester
had insisted upon dragging out for him.
They had been talking about the feud,
his Imprisonment in the cave, and all
the exciting events of the past few
days; and Ringbrand had been trying

of these approaches with such strict
fidelity to details that he now found
it impossible to break away from the
ENHANCEMENT of set speeches and sup
posed answers, and every fresh endeav-
or seemed to involve him more hope
lessly. Even the perversity of mani
mate objects added to his helplessness.
How could one talk upon serious SUBJ
jects from the lazy rostrum of an easy
chair whose high back took away the
last vestige of ones dignity ?-and
when he sat up the comfortable hollow
of the low seat brought his knees and
his chin together in an attitude thatwa
pathetically inadequate to the require
ments of the case. Once or twice he
had tried to rise, but Hester had pro-
tested playfully, saying that he must
consider himself an invalid, if only
for that afternoon. To add to his en-
barrassment, she left her own chair and
began to saunter up and down the YER
anda in front of him, shipping dead
leaves from the ivy on the railing as she
talked.
He watched her furtively while the
car of idle talk ran smoothly over end
less stretches of track wherein there
were no crossings or switches, until
the subtle intoxication of her beauty
began to make his replies irrelevant.
At last she stopped just opposite his
chair and leaned over the railing to re-
cover wandering spray of ivy; while
she stood there with her back toward
him, he broke off in the middle of SEN

She recovered herself instantly, and
he saw the suppressed laughter in her
eyes as she turned toward him. He

Hester, dear, do you love me just a
little. and will you be my wife?''
He was holding her hand now. and
looking down into her face with an
appeal in his eyes that quite atoned
for the halting speech, and she hid her
face on his shoulder, saying: "Oh, I'm
so glad!"
"GIad of what, Hester?" he asked,
drawing her closer to him.
Her face was suffused with bushes
when she raised it shyly to his, but the
merr!ment still twinkled in her eyes.
"Glad that you found it impossible to
be quite correct; you don't know

words we're whispered to the lapel of his

her in his arms. After the rapturous

A Singular Form OF Monomania.

There is class of people, rational enough

maniacs in dosing themselves. They are

When boys or girls nowadays have
anything to say TO their friends who are
FAR away they sit down and write q let
ter In plain English, French or German,
as the case may be; but before you are
able to write you have to learn how to
make some twenty-six letters and how
TO combine them into words so as to tell
your friends what you are thinking
about-this is called sound writing.
Now there Is another kind OF writing
picture writing it Is called, In which
there Is no alphabet, and instead Cf
words some picture of the object Is
used, as for example. instead of the
word cat we would have n rawInp az
