Our Natiou's Hope.

Although I'm not a Senator,
Yet, still, 1 think that 1
Can make a speech as well as one
Al least I'm going to try.
My teacher says I'm very smart,
And to my class a credit;
And. you bet, the highest prize
I'm going to try and get it.
My spelling, reading, numbers, too,
My pennies and my dollars,
I know as we'll as those who wear
Their piccadilly collars.
I'm getting kind of tired now,
And hope you will excuse me
From talking any further,
Or of nonsense you'll accuse me.
l see my mamma looking, too,
From her smiling I infer
She feels right proud of me, and l
Feel very proud of her.

Full of Vitality,

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer
the popular belief that Quakerism is
declining is entirely erroneous. So far
from this being the case, it is said that
side and outside of the organization de-
clare that the Society of Friends in the
United States was never more vigorous
or full of vitality than at present.

practice or demonstrate a theory. Bur.
much worse, the true meanings OF
Gods words have ofte1 been abused
and G!sSipated by such II course. One
can as truly make God liar by wrong
quoting His word as he can by fatty
misrepresenting his promises.

Trouble Ahead.

The sensitiveness of military gentle
men about their rank and titles has
been the cause of much heartburning
and many disasters. Its more amusing
side is hit off by a store in Pearson's
Weekly.
Corporal McCaffery was in raging
temper, and could hardly keep his for
age cap at the proper angle of forty
five on account of the wrinkles in his
forehead.
Whats up, Dennis? Where's the
fire." asked an intimate friend.

Rest.

heSt.
o Jesus merciful! Bend down
In Thy compositions deep,
AS sleepiess and alone / lie;
And watch beside me keep.
There is holier, sweeter rest
Than the lulling of this pain;
And a deeper calm than that which slee
Sheds over heart and brain.
1t is the souls surrendered choice,
The settling of the will;
Lying down gently on the cross,
Gods purpose to fulfill.
For this need Thy presence, Lord
My hand held close in Thine;
Infuse now thro' my spirit faint
An energy divine.
Feed me with love, imprint on me
Thy restful kiss of peace;
Let me be still upon Thy breast,
Nor struggle for release.
And sanctify my weakness, Lord;
Natures extreme distress,
Is just the time when it may learn
Gods glory to express.
Stamp in, o God, at any cost
The likeness of Thy Son!
Filial submission to Thy will,
Is hearen itself begun.

Off for School.

oh! mamma, mamma, it's half past eight
Where are my rubbers? | shall be late;
And where is my pencil? L know just

Y laid it down, but it isn't there.
Oh! here is my bag with my books all
right
I'm glad that my lessons were learned
last night:
And now I'm off-here's a kiss-good.

and treasurer of the Peoples Party
Publishing Company and practically
runs the Peoples party paper. Miss
SturgiS says that since the nomination
of Mr.. Watson for Vice-President she
has received hundreds of callers, and
whether or not her office is the party
headquarters makes no difference; for
the people think so, and they continue
to flock there. Miss Sturgis is good
judge of human nature and is an edu-
Gated woman. When her callers come
she knows when to talk books, and she
knows when to talk crops, but above
all else she knows when to discuss pol
itics. She has pile Of books around
her on the desk, books on political econ
omy, histories and poems. Naturally
Miss Sturgis believes in Tom Watson.
She was reared in the county in which
Mr. Watson lives and has watched his
course and studied his character until
the present time.
Kansas City's Woman Machinist.
Mrs. III. NJ. Cooley, wife of a machin-
lSt IN Kansas City, is skilled machin-
list and works daily in her husbands
shop. She served an apprenticeship of
two years and is now trusted to do the
most delicate work that requires skill
and care. She handles a steam drill
with the utmost precision and has
bored 10000 holes in brass tubes in a
single day, record not attained by any
man in the shop. Mrs. Cooley is small,
but muscular, and says that she enjoys
the work. She keeps her clothing and
face clean, but her hands become as
dirty and greasy as those of any other
workman. Her husband says that she
is the best artisan he ever had in his
shop. She has invented one or two
valuable articles, and does not hesitate
to repair gasoline or steam engines
when they are brought into the shop.

would answer the purpose. Finally he
compromised by adding:
rs just too, too, too, top.''
and let it go at that, as the man said
when he marked his x up by the roos-
ter. Then he continued:
Free silver independence.
We're going to vote them in;
Well carry this election,
Jack Daveler's going to VIM
Then chorus was decided upon. 1t
runs smoothly like this:
"Oh, honest Jack Dayeler, we're going
to vote you in,
Oh, noble Jack Daveser, you'-
and there the poet slid off again. He
wanted a rhyme for in Now sin,
all rhyme; 90 doe win. but ne had used
that once and didn't want to be ac-
cused of being tautologic, but it had
to come finally, SO the verse winds up
with:
"Oh, honest Jack Daveler, we're going
TO vote you in;
Oh. noble Jack Daveler, you certainly
will win;
Let foes assail, they won't prevail,
And Jack is sure to win"
Now one verse and a chorus doesn't
go with the people, who want more
songs than speeches, so it was decided
to write one more for luck. The poet
decided an endearing term should be
employed in the production.
Verse . runs:
Then whoop it up for Uncle Jack,
For he is labor's choice,
And choose him on election day.
but here the poet again faltered
Voice" rhymes with choice, but to
employ that might make the foreman

the celebrated animal which wandered
through the valleys of Bashan in the
days of old. Invoice wouldn't do at all
nor rejoice either and for time the
poet was troubled in mind. But he hit
it after all and voice went
And choose him on election day,
Without dissenting voice"
The chorus is repeated until the lis
teners are tired.
1t is understood there will be no
changes in tine composing room until
after election at least.
AS election day draws nigh so do
also the faces of the Republicans draw
nigh unto their lower vest buttons.
The canvass which has been made
by the committee which does it's bust
ness at the JOSS mouse on East second
South, is not so beautiful as it was two
weeks ago, when all was pleasant and
joyful. Report after report which
comes in is to the effect that there
are losses here and losses there which
cannot be overcome.
The first canvass was made by the
hired hands, who viewed the situation
with the eyes of optimists. But when
Holmes obtained the craftsmanship he
decided to have no monkey business;
he wanted to know where he stood,
and know it right. So he caused some
inquiries to be set on foot, and the result
is he is perplexed. People who were
counted on to vote the ticket have
announced themselves as being in
favor of the rooster. while many of the
members of the party have been dis
franchised because it was cheaper to
move than to pay rent. There are no
less than 200 Republican votes in the
city lost because the would be voters
have removed from one precinct to
another.
There would be an effort on the part
of these voters to get their ballots in
on election day, by voting from their

old homes, but for the fact that the
Democrats have discovered all this
and have marked the names for chal-
lenge. OF course, this will block the
game, and there is mourning in the
joss house.
The Republicans are becoming
alarmed at the activity of the Demo-
cratic women, who are now hustling
for all their intensity of purpose is
worth, and with good effect. Converts
to the Democratic ticket are being
made every day. The Republican
mesdames and misses were active a.
week ago in attempting to fool some
of the Democrats into voting the
rooster and then marking an x op-
posite the name of one Republican
| candidate; but The Herald's expose Of
this trick has shut them off, and
they are now puzzling their heads to
think of something new to attempt.
The Democratic women who are the
officials of the several precincts held
meetings at headquarters yesterday,
at which plans We're formulated for
the work. Every lady present-and
there were over 100-was earnest in the
expression of her sentiments.
By the way, the Republican women
started a canvass in the Second ward

is being done all over the city, al
though nothing definite in the way of
information could be ascertained.
They are not attempting to discover

canvasser.

Then why do you not vote the
same ticket" asked the enthusiastic
Republican.
why madame? Why? Well, in

own. In the second place, l am from
Kentucky, and If you are conversant
with common knowledge of places and
things, you will know that people who

The veteran Democrat, DR.. H. j..

astic over the outlook, and says that

tickets.
DR.. Faust spoke at Mammoth on
Wednesday evening and at Eureka on
the evening before and was greeted
with good houses at both places. In
Willard county he followed Holbrook
and addressed meetings at three places
where the Republican candidate had
spoken the night before His audi
ences were good. Holbrook is not win
ming any favor in any of the places he
is talking in. He is like wet blanket.
DR.. Faust says: Il believe in elect
ing Bryan, Democratic congressman
and a legislature which will send d
Democrat to the United States senate
to hold UP his hands. Lincoln was
elected by Democrats; there is no dis
putting that assertion. There were not
enough Wings and abolftionists in
the country to elect him single handed
and alone. They also elected d senate
and house which voted money to carry
on the war. The situation today is
about the same as it was then, and
Bryan should receive the same support
as did Lincoln
