FREE SILVER STILL AN ISSUE.

The liyelinoss Of the free silver sonti-
ment is again nttested by the unanimous
and enthusiastic action of the Ohio Demo-
cratic convention in stalking their issues
on the Chicago plank without any
qualification or exception.
Indeed, nowhere in the country, up to
this time at least, is there the slightest
indication that silver is not TO remain. an
issue, nor Is thora any prospect that tho
Democratic party will b. anything but a
silver party, tho gold Democrats plainly
being powerless to shoulder the silver is
sue on TO the Populists or any othor or
ganization.
Expressed In one form or another
through the votes Of the Democratic.
National and Socialist Labor parties at
the national election, noarly seven mil
lion citizens voted In favor of free silver
within, say, two hundred and fifty thou.
sand votes for the gold standard as OK
pressed In tho support of Mckinley, Re.
publican, and Palmer gold Democrat.
In other words tha fourteen million votes
cast were almost exaqLyy balanced as be.
tween free silver and the gold standard
And under tho bannor Of Democracy and
upon the Democratic party platform
adopted at Chicago, six million and five
hundred thousand Of the silver Votes were
cast
We believe thoro Is no precedent for the
Abandonment Of q national platform bc-
tween presidential elections by the re-
spective local organizations, and IL seems

All In panoplied array,
With its Beauty and its Clown,

Then Wen gather on the curb
For 20 sec il ccme our way,
And LET no trolley car disturb
Our magic holiday
Though the jaunty flags are frayed,
Yet they hutter, fold on fold,
And the shabby cavalcade
The right of way viii hold.
Just stop the calliopo,
Let tho brass band be controlled,
And give the lion dope
So we can hear tho Mayor scoldl
Let the Disonchanted fuss
AT the antics Of the Clown;
Let the people growl and cuss
And cry ont: " 'Trow him down."
Hail the Sorrowful and Gayl
Hail the big policeman's frown!
See the trolley car at bay
While the Mayor runs the TOWN.

the affair. Experts say that an en-
gineer can only pass through a given
amount of strain, and that once having
passed this point he is scarcely ac-

New York Ledger.
There is great difference in people,
however, as to the effect which such
calamities have upon them. People of
stolid and unimpressible temperaments
may pass through such experiences
and be but slightly overcome by them,
but it is dangerous thing for the
sensitive, highly organized mind TO be
placed in such an awful position.

Decoys DO Not Always Work succesa-
fully.
Despite the success with which de-
coys are sometimes used by skillful
hunters, birds, in the wild state at least,
are not easily deceived, says an ex-
change. Their sense of hearing is Pc
culiarly acute, and their instinct en-
ables them instantly to detect the
slightest variation in the song of one
of their own kind-as is iaughablv
illustrated in the following true story:
A bird catcher, wishing to increase
his stock of bullfnches, took out his
lined twigs-i. E., twigs covered with
strongly adhesive preparation, by
alighting on which the poor birds were
caught like flies on sticky hy-paper-
and arranged them in what he consid-
cred a promising place. For a decoy
he took along tame bullfnch in a
cage. Now it happened that this bird
was, for a bullffnch, highly educated
overeducated, in fact. At first the de-
coy uttered few natural notes, and
its cry attracted several of its kindred,
who posted themselves at little dis
lance, watching the bird in the cage
with much curiosity. Presently they
began to approach, hopping, inch by
inch, toward the fatal twigs. But just
at this critical moment the trained bull
finch, carried away by the excitement
of so interesting an occasion, began to
pipe the old country dance known as
Nancy Dawson" and away few all
the intended victims as fast as their
wings could carry them.

How She Finds Out a Mans True
Nature.
A captivating girl who carried lor-
gnette was talking recently to party
of her friends and her words must have
borne weight, for the other girls were
listening. When girls are not all talk
ing at once it's a pretty good indica-
ton that the one who is thus permit
ted to monopolze the conversation is
saying something worth while. "When
feel that man is becoming interest
ed in me to the exclusion of other girls"
said she of the lorgnette, Il at once put
him to a test which is calculated to
bring his true nature to the surface.
Of course, you all know what posers
nen are, and how they are on dress pa
rade when the girls are about. Well,
my test is this: | make an engagement
with him to go off somewhere at eight
in the morning. Nine men out of ten
VIII be late. At that hour of the morn
ing man IS usually disagreeable and
hateful. He will be unshaven. His
breath win be reminiscent of stale to-
bacco smoke, and possibly Of last
nights libations. His conversational
powers, usually so scintillating az
night, you will find to be shorn of their
attractions If you want to look be-
hind the screen of a mans conventional
ity, put him 10 this test. If he comes
through it under favorable conditions,
he will make a good husband. But
I've never seen one that could stand the
test TO my satisfaction, and I've tried it
often .
