THE PRINCE AS A GUEST
 Gae -- Wales a Difficult Man to Enter
 tain. LONSDALE'S EXPERIENCE The Host Suffers for the lnfraction of the Slightest Rule Governing the Recep-

One of the most delicate and difficult tasks that ever falls to the lot of the English nobleman in high favor is the en- tertaining of royalty. It is expensive, too, but only the richest try it, and if everything passes off smoothly they dos not mind the money, although the cost may have almost wrecked their fortunes. Consummate tact and the rarest diplo- macy arc the only safeguards for success, and as these qualities do not often exist in superlative degree defeat and ap-

Her Sweet Laugh.

A society girl, one of whose great at- fractions is a soft little musical laugh, entertained an interested group lately with an account of how that prominent charm of hers was acquired. Every few persons have, as you know" said she,
 Ian agreeable laugh. I had simply noth- ing that could be called such in my pos session. The lack made me seem grim, and too far from merry to be success ful companion. So took lessons of an actor, and learned the mechanism of forced laughter. This practiced and im- proved by myself till had the art to perfection. and 1t became second nature. It cost me $50 to buy my laugh, but l wouldn't part with it for many thousands. You can't guess what a boon it is when the social atmosphere is full of ancient Joe Millerisms."

If asked the question, Have you
got stomach?" it would be safe on
general principles to answer "Yes. "
But if you are SURE of it; that is, if
you ever feel any distress after eat
ing or pains OF whatever descrip-
tion in the region Of the stomach,
you have got something more than
an ordinary stomach; IN other
words, you have got diseased
stomach. The stomach is power
full muscle, and the proper remedy
for tired muscle is rest. Try the

cures OF colds and Group; Chamber

lame back, pains in the side and

We often heard our father tell OF
his selling wheat in this state before
the war for 35 cents a bushel, and
old settlers from those days doubtless
remember the same thing. That was
in the good old times, long before the
decentralization of silver" and the
'crime of 1878" had "cut values in
two" as free silver politicians fondly
claim. Comparing those prices with
present prices the depreciation Of
gold" theory passes away like a
summer cloud. But what then
caused the higher prices during Pre-
sident Harrison's administration
1922, when wheat sold in Warren,
as farmers well know, for prices rang

prices we had then, and no one will
have cause for complaint. The sur
est way to do it is by electing Nc

SUPPOSE congress should pass a
law declaring that eight ounces in
stead of sixteen should make pound,
it would certainly cause a great deal
OF confusion and misunderstanding
among the people, and suppose that
with this declaration went the edict
that this new pound must perceived
by everybody as equal in all respects
to the old pound, then great injustice
as we'll as confusion will be the re-
suit, and no one will really be bene-
fitted except the makers of new scales.
They would reap a harvest until the
trade was supplied with new contriv-
ances for weighing. So it will be if
we change our money standard, our
measure of value, to the silver basis,
the only ones who will be benefited
temporarily will be the silver miners,
while the great body Of the people
will suffer only loss and confusion.
And after making the change the
chances are that the new scales will
be no more exact and just than the
old, but rather the reverse. Will it
be wise to make the change?
Thoughtful people will say no.

teachers and schools of the country
by Major Mckinley in recent adj
dress to body of educators is GER
tainly opportune: II know Of no
class Of persons upon whom is i'm
posed graver duties, or who have
wider opportunities for promoting
good citizenship and encouraging
high aims and purposes, both in in

who have charge of the educational
institutions Of the country. The
teacher is the public servant. He is
not in private employment. He is an
essential part Of the conservative force
which upholds the national fabric.
He instructs the future citizen and

power in the life of the nation. His
influence has uniformly been on the
side Of right. He molds and directs
the minds which will control the des-
tiny of the republic. You are en-

The free coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to l by this country alone
will force us to a silver basis. That
is the opinion of the foremost fnan-
ciers and political economists of this
and other countries, and many pro
minent advocates of silver admit that
that would be the result. It is as
sure also as anything in the future
can be, and plain enough for every
body to see, that when silver is coined
on private account that the value of
the dollar will be only that of the
bullion of which it is made. At pres
ent that value is only So cents. It is
quite generally admitted also that
shifting from gold basis to a silver
basis will precipitate panic, the
like of which this country has never.
seen. Bryan himself admits it, or
rather did, last June when he ex-
pressed the sentiment that when
person is sick it may be necessary to
take medicine to make him still sick
er to effect cure, speaking with
reference to free coinage. The first
effect of Bryan's election would be to
send gold to premium and cause it
to disappear from circulation. This
would reduce the circulating medium
$500, 100000. The remaining stock
of money comprising greenbacks,
treasury notes, national bank notes
and silver coin not represented by
silver certificates, amounts to about
81 ,100, 100000. As this currency
would be redeemed in silver, it is
clear that this whole volume of money
would depreciate to the bullion value
Of the dollar and hence really possess
purchasing power of only $3.50, 000,-
900. This tremendous loss would
have to be borne by the people.
That the volume Of currency would
sink at once to the silver basis with
free coinage was the opinion of Blaine,
and is concurred in by secretary
Carlisle and all our ablest fnanciers.
Every insurance policy and all saving
bank deposits would be reduced one
half by actual figures, and the chanc-
es are that with the general failure of
banks and companies the loss would
be augmented and in many cases
total: Loans will be called in, bust
ness paral yzed, manufacturing indus
tries closed, and those who had ex-
pected to pay their debts in depreci-
ated dollars will find it impossible
even to get hold of them.
Not until our currency would again
be established on solid and stable
basis would better times dawn upon
the land. It is no wonder that
thoughtful and far-seeing men OF all
political parties shudder at taking
the step. And it will not be done.
Free silver is already doomed.
