WHO SHALL STANDP

When the Populists get together now
and take an inventory of issues and
men there is little wonder at the strange
feeling that must come over them. En-
erson said: Consistency is the hobgob-
lin Of small minds,' and they have
evOided the hobgoblin. In the less than
SIX years of political life the Populists
have advocated and laid 10 rest more
paramount issues" than any party of
Ike age in the history of the world
These issues were mainly social and
monetary and have not been tried by
legislation and found wanting. but sim
ply agitated and abandoned First was
the no-interest idea--the plan OF fat
money issued to the people without cost
al mere nominal rates of interest. As a
part of this scheme was the suhtreasury
and land loan propositions. The GOV
ernment was TO go into the loaning busi-
ness-it could make money without
cost: it could loan it without cost 10 the
people. The government could make
money without limit, and The Deople
could borrow it limited only by the
price Of property offered to secure il.
but as the price would so up as the vol
ume Of money increased. the plan in
volved an unlimited issue and loan OF
money biased upon the wealth of all
the people" Such magnificent scheme
to get in debt without interest. TO coin
all the property of the nation into
money had never been brought 10 the
attention Of the world before, Yes. it
had. 1t had been discussed, partially
tried and totally discarded years ago.
Ont Of this abandoned idea the Ponu-
lists for a time jmay be ye0 saved the
idea that money is mere figment or
law. legal tender simply. fat of SOW

Oh how could we give up our darling love,

That once she made so bright,
But O. what peace to know that we,
When lifes sad tolls are DER,
Shall join our little Angel babe, to part with
her no more.
Yes, the little chair is empty now,
Her doll we've laid away,
Her little toys we've laid aside
And all that we can say is Jesus help us in oul
grief,
To bear it with a will
Although she has flown away, to thee,
She is our darling still.
Yes, she is our guardian Angel now,
To watch US day and night?

BEwITCHING NOTE PAPER.

Even the most negligent of cores
pondents would find inspiration in some,
of the new boxes of note paper. The
boxes are in the form of little desks, al
though made OF card board, and are di-
yided into four or five compartments.
The cover is fastened TO the box and
can not very easily be lost or mislaid
There are FIVE different sizes of paper
and envelopes, The largest letter
sheets are square, the envelopes long
and narrow. The smQllest note sheets
are scarcely larger than correspondence
cards. In one corner OF the box is a
space for sticks of sealing wax and q
taper, Truly these convenient, orderly
and complete escritoresmust have been

THE IDEAL GIRL.

The ideal girl-that paragon of mans
fancy-is not usually she who is prone
to puns and who is likely to find fun
ny spot in the most sentimental situa-
tion. Men may admire quickness of
wit in the abstract, but they are not so
apt to fall in love with girl who is al
ways making "smart speeches" They
are as disagreeably startled by sharp
wit on the lips of pretty girl as though
they had found pepper in their ice
cream.
Dear, funny woman, we would not
laugh always, nor live perpetually in a
shower of mental fireworks. Ever and
again we pine to commune with the
earnest, grave and iokeless friend with
whom we may discuss some profound
and solemn theme without being met
by fusilade of feeble puns and wit
ticisms. We know you are very funny,
but ones face aches with continual
smiling, and an exclusively funny diet
is about as sustaining as a ration Of
mere pepper and salt. Truly there is
a time to laugh, but is not all the time.

HOW TO CARVE.

To carve loin of veal or mutton be-
gin at the small end and cut the ribs
apart. A fllet of veal should be cut
first from the top, and in breast of
veal the breast and brisket should first
be cut apart and then cut in pieces.
A leg of mutton should be carved
across the middle Of the bone first, and
then from the thickest part till the
gristle is reached. A few nice slices
can be cut from the smaller end, but it
is usually hard and stringy.
In carving fish practice is required in
order to prevent the fakes from break
ing. The choicest morsels of all large
fish are near the head; the thin parts
come next; the flavor nearest the bone
is never equal to that on the upper
part. A fish knife should be used in
carving.
A sirloin of beef should be placed on
the platter with the undercut under
meath. Thin-cut slices should be taken
from the side next the carver, then turn
over the roast and carve from under
meath. A portion Of both should be
helped.
A tongue should be carved in very
thin slices, its delicacy depending on
this. The slices from the centre are
considered the most tempting, and
should be cut across and the slices
taken from both sides with portion of
the fat at the root.
A ham can be served in several ways
by cutting long, delicate slices
through the thick fatdown to the bone;
by running the point of the knife in o
circle in the middle and cutting thin,
circular slices, thus keeping the ham
moist, or by beginning at the knuckle
and slicing upward. The last mode is
the most economical
