Al ROMAN GIRL.

It Is nearly 1850 years since the feet
of this little girl trod the streets OF Rome
or carried the doll she loved over the
grassy Campagna. but when the marble
coffin was opened the doll was found to
be in wonderful state OF preservation,
probably the finest doll known at that
early day, and nearly foot In height.

In his speech at New York ON Feb. 90
Mr.. Bryan said; IF any person believes
a government should single ont few
people and give them advantages over
others, he does not understand equality
under the law"
This is very true. But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 90 cents worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as 81, is
not Mr.. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re-
Dukes? Would not free coinage Of silver
at fictitious ratio be to "single out a
few people and give them advantages
over others?" The OWNERS Of silver bul
lion in this country are very few indeed
Again Mr.. Bryan says, "No just gov
ernment ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen.
Trde. But would not the government
do this if it enabled one class of citizens
the debtors, to discharge their obliga-
tions TO another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or conoh shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would 1t not enable one class Of citizens
to injure another class? And would it
not do the same in depreciating the cur
rency of the country to 80 cent basis?
The people so decided last November

All propositions for the retirement of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as a feature of our
currency system are coupled with the
demand for a banking system that would
afford large note circulation, one more
responsive to the fluctuating demands Of
business and one whose reserve would be
maintained by banks which would be
compelled by the conditions Of their
existence and by law to protect their
notes, and which, through their discount
business, have the necessary machinery
for increasing their reserves or decreas-
ing their liabilities Such a banking sys-

EDITORIAL.
LOOKING FORWARD.

The season warns farmers that
soon the activity of spring followed
by the rush of planting will be here.
If plans have been matured during
the winter, the work mapped out to
be systematically pursued, if the
farmer in short has carefully studied
his program for the season, he will
be far better prepared to begin his
work and measureably succeed in
his business. Is farming a business
with you? That is do you conduct it
with the some careful consideration
of method and the same attention to
details that the prudent and success
full business man uses in his work
If the butcher wastes the odds and
end of meat or allows a certain pro-
portion to spoil on his hands every
week he soon goes out of the bust
ness. If a merchant suffers his pro-
fits to leak away or puts them on his
shelves he soon wonders why he
does not succeed. Andi is so in all
departments. 1t is the utilization
of everything and turning it to pro-
fit which makes the bank account.
Times are hard, farming don't pay
is the universal cry. Well, the only
remedy is to make it pay, and the
only way to do that is to exercise
the greatest care at every step.
Thoroughly cultivate every crop
plant no more than can be properly
attended. Employ no wasteful or
extravagent methods. Do not at
tempt costly experiments. Let the
other fellow do that and you profit
by his experience. Keep the cattle
well fed and all the animals in good
growing condition.
FEEDING COWS IN SUMMER.
In the great majority of instances
farmers are compelled with the first
shoots of grass to ''turn out" fre-
quently on the meadow. No more
ruinous method could be pursued.
Such business is burning the candle
at both ends. Suppose this year you
try having a surplus, and raise your
fodder in the summer when it grows
and not raise it in the winter by the
bagfu1, and so aid the western far
mer. An excellent method is to
SOW peas and oats, follow them with
millet, and that with fodder corn,
curing all the surplus, saving your
pasture thus benefitting your land,
increasing the product of your COWS,
fattening your pigs on the peas and
oats, IN fact doing your scratching
together of feed in the summer with
hoe and rake and not doing it in
the winter with a thin pocket book,
or a few ties or hoop-poies. The
''old man" may have been good
farmer, but you have not the humus
In the land or it's fertility. He got
most Of that out, and left you the
base but not the substances. You

A drunken melee in a house in John

ing resulted in the stabbing of Steve
Staronca by Mike Salonka, who used
a long-bladed pocket-knife. The wound
is on the front part of Staronca's neck
and is not serious. Several other men
who participated in the fight were
slightly injured.
The house is a large tenement, near
the corner of jefferson avenue and
Larch street. 1t was pay day last Sat-
urday at Johnson's colliery, where
most of the men are employed, and a
general celebration has been in pro-

the breast bone.
man who was passing the house
hastened to police headquarters and
informed Acting Desk Sergeant Lowry
of the fight. The house is out of the
city limits. so the county Jail officers
were communicated with.
Two special officers, Miles Mcdonald
and William Skipper, were authorized
to arrest Salonka. He was found in
the house and made no resistance. He
complained of Illness, saying that his
back was hurt. He was taken to the
county JAIL from where Desk Sergeant
Lowry and Patrolman Sloat took him
in the patrol wagon to the central
police station. 1t was discovered that
Salonka's back shows marks where
some one kicked him. He also has a
small cut over his eye. Another man
who was implicated in the assault of
Staronca could not be found when the
patrol wagon went to the house on the
trip down.
Staronca was in bed. The wound in
his neck bled profusely. Dr.. William
Haggerty, who attended the injured
man, saws he will recover. The knife
was found in the house, where it was
dropped in the excitement following
the stabbing.

ter to the city solicitor for an opinion.
The motion was lost by a tie vote.
