Hon. Zero Snow, of Portland, attor-
ney for several mighty corporations,
but specially retained for the candi-
date from Ohio of all the trusts and
syndicates, to help save Oregon for
gold and king, was in town yester-
day and was Immediately met at the
train by Banker Albert. The gentle
men kept as far from the vulgar herd
as possible, and soon all the gold Dem
ocrats of Salem were enrolled for the
gold standard electors. The gold
standard is not enough to suit the
tastes Of the vast crowd of gold
worshippers. Their ticket must be
made up for them by the managers Of
the biggest corporations, and it is
more than probable that if an emblem
were allowed by law, crown of gold
would be at the head of their electoral
ticket. The close combination be-
tween the American bankers who
want the British gold standard and
the corporations that are run by the
German and English stockholders, is
so sweet and angelic that hitherto
high-minded Americans, who thought
our country could have a financial sys-
tenn of its own, are asked to get down
on their knees and beg permission to
be allowed to vote for gold and king
and at the same time be permitted to
kiss the great toe of st. Albert and |
st. Snow and the rest of the saints of |
disinterested politics, while all the
rest Of the shoddy aristocracy and
Mark Hanna worshippers will stand
in a respectful attitude and await en-
opportunity to lay their heads on the
block!

Wanted-A Park.

One of the needs of Woodstown, is a
public park. When the citizens COM
mittee were making preparations for the
Fourth of July celebration, place for
the meeting was talked over, and among
the places named were the school yard at
the Academy, Friends Meeting. house
grounds, base ball park and the little
lawn in front of the Presbyterian
Church, which was chosen. One of our
most prominent citizens, who holds a
public office, expressed the opinion that
the time had come when the borough
stood in need of public grounds for
summer outdoor meetings, picnics and
party gatherings in the open air. His
suggestion was approved of. The pur-
chase of a tract of land within the
borough limits, which shall be planted in
trees, with graveled walks, driveways, a
fountain, therein seats for visitors, and
such varieties of amusement for the
children and everybody else, as the
authorities see proper to introduce as
attractive features, would be a benefit to
the community. 1t would become a
favorite resort for women and children to
spend few leisure hours, instead of
promenading the streets for recreation as
they now have to do. 1t would draw
picnic parties from miles away, and on
those occasions the baker man, the ice
cream man, the grocer and creamery
man would have more custom. But
enough has been written. To agitate an
idea of public improvement is easy, to
materializs it is sometimes very difficult.
Many of the readers of this paper
remember how long the railroad project
was discussed before the frat train
stopped at East avenue. The fountain
committee, after quiet effort, added to
Woodstown a beautiful fountain and as
useful as it is beautiful. Now let us
have public park. What say you all /?
The lots at the corner of Green and
Spring Garden streets, where the merry
go-round and travelling shows pitch their
tents, has been named as desirable
location. If larger and more suitable
tract of land can be had at reasonable
price let some one name it.

-Four Aces Beat Five Kings.

The joke about four aces beating five
kings has been often sprung, but there
are a few people who know that Bill
Lange of the Chicago team was the hero
of that famous incident. 1t was years
ago in San Francisco, when Lange was
budding boy and King Kalakaua was
social star during his trip to this coun-
try. Lange, although so young, was
even then a hot sport, and, so it CHANGED,
happened one night to find himself in a
hot poker game, with King Kalakaua
opposite Bill had three aces-history
deposes not as to how many he had held
out-and Kalakaua three kings. Every
body dropped out except the king and
the boy. Kalakaua caught another king
. in the draw, and Lange received the
final ace. There was considerable bet
ting, coast millionaire backing Lange
heavily, and goodly sum was in sight
when the call came. The hands were
shown, and thus it happened that Bill
Lange, with four aces, defeated five
kings-Kalakaua and the four lesser
monarchs of the deck News.

SPEED OE INSECTS,
A Common House Fly Travels Mile In
Thirty-three Seconds.

Thirty-three Seconds.
1t is the popular belief that the flight
of the birds is much swifter than that
of the insects, but a number of natural
lists who have been making study of
the matter think that such is not the
case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in its flight, but its
wings make 800 beats q second and
send it through the air 25 feet, under
ordinary circumstances, in that space of
time. When the insect is alarmed, how
ever, it has been found that it can in
crease its rate of speed to over 100 feet
per second. If it could continue such
rapid flight for mile in a straight line,
it would cover that distance in exactly
33 seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get i'll at one of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
of the swiftest of flying birds, and ii
was thought until recently that no in
sect could escape it.
A naturalist tells of an exciting chase
he saw between swallow and dragon
fly, which is among the swiftest of in
sects. The insect few with incredible
speed and wheeled and lodged with
such ease that the swallow, despite its
utmost efforts, completely failed to over,
take and capture it.-Science.

was a case of appendicitis, but hoped

as to the disease, an operation was de
cided upon as the only means of saving
the life of the patient, and DR.. Van Len

The Camp meetfngs.

South Jersey may very justly be termed
the camp meeting Mecca. The Metho
dists of this section have had four of these
popular woods meetings in operation for
some years, and now new candidate has
appeared to claim che attendance of the
fait full. 1t is the new resort on the
Delaware, known as National Park.
Pitman Grove, however, easily holds
first place in the regard of camp meeting
frequeuters. The twenty sixth annual
camp meeting closed there on Tuesday
night, with the customary walk-around,
the CLOSING sermon being preached by
DIR. Jones. of Missouri, with a closing
word by Bishop Grant, of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church.
The meetings this year were highly
successful, though they did not reach the
hieh-water mark of enthusiasm of some
former years, and the attendance was not
quite as large.

Wednesday morning, Rev. ]. s. Hesler,

FARMING AS A PROFESSION.
Many Things That Can Be Raised For the
Stomach and the Head


Stomach and the Head.
Prosperity and pleasure from farm
life require that you aim first to raise
your own food and sell only to cover
the balance. Begin with the idea simply
of independence and not of wealth. It
is the best ambition. The rich man does
not enjoy as much as the independent
man. To do this you must raise fruits
as we'll as what are called main crops.
Fruit constitutes half or more of a good
diet. My own children have never eaten
a pound of meat. (My horses have not.
l add this as an answer to those who
think meat an essential to strength,
says E. P. Powell in The Independent.
Fijians consider eating eyes essential to
long eyesight.) We can raise apples,
pears, plums, cherries, currants, berries,
grapes, and these, with eggs, chickens,
beans and milk and vegetables, will
cover nearly all family needs for the
table.
Begin in very small way. 1t is an
age of splurging and plunging. Do not
begin that way. Keep accounts and see
that one hand washes the other. Every
farm should have its study department
as we'll as its dig department.. There are
geology, botany, entomology, astronomy
all at home for you. Why send the boys
off to learn something else? You think
you cannot teach them; you can learn.
Get books like Comstock's "Entomol-
ogy" and Shaler's Geology" Study
them as piece of family work, as our
fathers studied Scott's "Commenta-
rles. Then divide your farm work so
that part of it shall be experimental
Pick up facts as well as potatoes Then
have shop and laboratory, where all
the finger wisdom in the family can be
developed and muscle wit be encouraged.
1t will pay in cash and pay in indie
pendence and pay in pleasure.
What mean to emphasize is that
home should be big enough in spirit to
make elbow room and brain room for
the boys and girls. There is no reason
why they should feel that home is too
narrow for them, and they must get
away as soon as possible I wish nv
home to be so full and roomy that moth
ing else shall seem larger to my chill
dren. While not opposing schools, l
hold they should supplement, not sup
plant home. Boston Herald.
