sthat the stories this woman told about me are
absolutely false. That she should have found
people hystsrical enough TO believe such yarns
in my own neiRhborhood Is curious indeed. The
story that asked her to marry me Ia ridicu-
loualy false. And as to payment gave her In
clothes and money more than $500, besides
what paid her for wages.

To the spectator who watches the hard. fought

A cPEEGH BY M'CLEARY

Quoted by n Correspondent Against the
Free Coinage of silver - some Effects
Pointed Out.
To the Editor of the Register.
Dear Sir:-I wish to call attention OF
the reading public to the speech of Hon.
James T. McCleary, of Minnesota, in
the House of Representatives. on Feb
ruary u, 1895, Against unrestricted
coinage Of silver" 1t was delivered ir
answer TO a speech by Mr.. Towne, OF
Minnesota, a colleague of Mr. Nc
Cleary's. II has been said of Mr..
TONNES speech that it is the greatest
ever made in Congress on the free silver
side of the question" Mr.. McCleary
answers his colleague in very master
full way, and 1 have read nothing on the
money question that can compare in
comprehensiveness clearness, logical
force and convincing effeet.
This speech should be placed in the
hands Of every person seeking informa-
tiOn on the great question that is so
vital to our peace and prosperity. Every
man and woman who has the least
spark Of patriotism; every one VINO will
honestly look into this subject for the
purpose OF being informed so that he
may cast an intelligent vote az the COM
ing election, should not fail to read this
speech OF Mr. McCleary ;.
Ii contains 50 many good things on
the subject of mOlsy. bi-mesallism.
rise and fall of prices, ana the ease
thereof, explains the meaning OF ratio.
contains a short and interesting history
Of coinage. recites the essential facts
about the act Of 1873, contains tables
showing the production Of gold ana sill
Yer in the world and In the United
States: tables showing the rise and fall
in prices. the daily rate of wages in the
United Staes compared with other coun-
tries. especially those on a silver basis:
in short is one of the most exhaustive
U5Jeranc5s on the subject of money told
in a very interest ting manner.
If you will allow me space In your
columns. | will quote some of the good
things in this speech.
"Th ere is a Lawmaker higher even
than COngresS-One whose DEGREES, like
Himself. are unchspgea5le One Of his
laws, written in the fiberS of every hui
man soul: one which no act Of Congress
can abrogate or change is that which
prompts every human being to do in a
business way that which he deems to
be for his own best interest. If a farm
err who is equally near to two markets
finds that ne can get for his barley or
his wheat, his eggs or his wool, better

his produce to the place where he is Of
fered the better price, even though the
difference per unit be quite small. This

works. And then, If properly used, is
ready to do as much more.
SO with the yard stick, the pound weight
and the dollar; each can do an almost in
finite amount of work If properly used.
The dollar in the circus ring did the work
of forty dollars in five minutes, and was
just as capable of accomplishing as much
more in the succeeding five minutes.
Why was this? Simply because it moved
promptly. And 1t moved promptly be
cause each man felt honest, and that when
he owed money and had it in his pocket
the only proper thing for him to do was
to pay up.
Moreover. each had confidence in the
other. Why was each man willing to ac-
cept the dollar in payment Of which was
coming to him? Because he knew that it
was a good dollar. He knew that when
ever he wanted TO use It. whether it might
that day or not for ten years. it would
be just as good as when he accepted 1t.
But if each of the men had a dollar In
his pocket, but that each distrusted the
other, or If each was afraid to accept
the money of the other. fearing that It

it, that 1t would depreciate on his hands
what would be the result? Why, Of course.
each would keep in his pocket what money
he had and, each would continue to owe
the other; that is the money would ac-
complsh nothing.
In other words, with good money and
mutual trust one dollar did the work of
forty, while with questionable money and
distrust twenty dollars could accomplish
nothing. In other words the quality of
money is immensely more important than
its quantity.
To conclude. "Be not deceived; God is
not Knocked. Whatsoever a man sowetb,
that shall he also reap" If we SOW FREE
silver" and free trade" we shall from the
same reap dishonor. destruction and desc
lation. If we SOW sound money and pro-
lection. we shall reap preservation and
prosperity. w. II. RINEHART.

the whole thing with gilt paint, and
when entirely dry weave a ribbon half
an inch wide in and out between the
s,raws. This ribt-1 can ce wound
around the cardboard ring at the top,
and thus gives d pretty finish to the
basket. Where the ribbon ends, put a
little paste upon it and tuck it neatly
in under the nearest fold.
AN EASEL AND THDIBLE CASE.
Still another little gift to be made
from these lemonade s.raws is a small
easel TO hold Photographs Clip slit
in the straw where the jointing comes,
with a sharp scissors. and very gently
force the other straw into the hole.
With a penknife make a slanting down
ward cut at the point where the photo
graph is TO rest. The straws will be
improved by gliding, but this should
neves be done until the rest of the work
is completed. as the moisture Of the fin
gers IS likely TO dim the gilt.
A pretty thimble case can be made
from a large English walnut shell.
First split il carefully with a sharp
knife. then clear out the inside by
SCraping il. The next process is TO
bore four holes, two in each shell. and
TIE easiest and surest way TO do that is
TO find a large knitting needle and
stick enc end firmly into cork. The
object Of this is to be saely able TO
hold the knitting needle by this cork
handle while heating it's other end red
hot With tGts red hot point one can
bore holes very easily and perfectly
without danger of splitting the shells.
CUt four lengths Of narrow ribbon,
abont four inches, say; tie a knot in the
end of each and draw the other ends
through the four holes. Those In the
broad ends of the she'll should be tied
in bows to form a hinge for the case.
Next cut cut two circles OF silk some
what larger than the shells. Turn in
the edges of these very carefully and
cover these turned down parts with
paste. Set the silk into the inside of
each half OF the shell, pressing it with
the fingers until the paste takes hold.
Now put in the thimble: tie the other
ribbons and the whO'e makes a very
pretty furnishing for mammals work
basket.
With such hints as these it will be
easy for any ingenius young person to
work out many more devices eCr home
made gifts, and the point to be kept in
mind is that the value of the gift lies in
the proof it shows that dainty care and
pains have been expended to show the
loving thought of the giver
