NECESSARY FLA1TERY.
The Experience of a Young Woman VIII,

The Experience of Young Woman Who
Tried Plain Speaking For n Week.
1t was the first afternoon of the club
meeting, and the girl who prides her
self on the earnestness of her aims and
objects i'll life came into the room with
the light of a noble resolve clarifying
her CountenanCe.
'I've been reading the loveliest book
in the world, girls" she exclaimed en-
Enthusiastically, land henceforth I shall
never tlatter or deceive anybody The
author says that flattery is the worst OF
Gins and that
( Tell us your experiences next week, ="
interrupted the sarcastic maiden grim
ly. They'll be a lot moro interesting
than an account of the book s preach
ings, and besides''-- But the earnest
girl had flown off in indignation, and
she was decidedly meek and crestfallen
when next the club members met.
"You needn't laugh" she remarked
to the sarcastic maiden, who was grin
ming ezpectantly, ''for l believe what
the book said was true, only we're not
sufficiently developed to live by such an
elevated standard. You know, said

my life Well, that was last week.
Now I'm going to flatter everybody.
I've had enough of plain speaking to
last me lifetime. Last Monday l told
mamma she was getting crows feet
when | knew she wanted me to say she
wasn't. Next day Mamie asked me how
old | thought she looked, and | told her
honestly. Mamma hasn't got over being
vexed yet, md, as for Mamie, don t
suppose she'll ever speak to me again.
"Wednesday our pastor called and
wanted my honest opinion of his last
sermon. | told him, and he was awfully
hurt. Friday told my dressmaker that
l considered her awfully careless with
nice material, and she left the house III

and not a soul among us who knows
how to finish it. Other dressmakers
won t, you know, so what shall do?
"Ihat's the way things have gone
all week. Now I'm going to say love-
u things on principle again, whether
they re true or not. You girls do look
perfectly stunning" she continued
sweetly as her listeners sighed sympa-
tbetcally. II do think we have the
prettiest set of girls in the city in our
club and the incest.
And then she wondered that they
didn' t really seem grateful for the com
pliment. They acted just as if they
didn' t think I meant it," she told her
chum aftcrward Chicago Times Her,

THE MESSAGE.

The presidents message to the
present session of congress is char
acterized by a moderation of tone
which, after reading four years OF
Cleveland's bombastic and mandate
ry effusions is positively refreshing
There is in his letter the impression
OF an equal addressing equals, and
not the inference that the writer
knows it all. Mr.. Mckinley does
not feel that he has congress on his
hands," but appears to confde ev-
erything to the Judgment of that
body for veal or for woe, in tacit
manner saying that he will be salts
fed with whatever conclusions they
nay happen to reach.
10 many the message is "A disap-
pointment. Many hoped to see
more rigorous recommendation re-
garding foreign questions. The
president is unfavorable to recog-
milton of Cuban belligerency.
He gives few reasons for his po-
sition, which opponents of that opin-
ion do not consider potent But at
no place does Mckinley emulate the
hull-necked disposition of his pre-
decessor to say that his recommend
atlons must be true, or must be a.
dopted
His position upon the money ques-
ton is not surprising to anyone.
The manner Of his election, the
character of his cabinet, the atmos-
phere about the executive depart
ment, everything goes to show that
Mr.. Mckinley is a gold standard
man. He lines up with Secretary
Cages monetary ideas and believes
in retirement of greenbacks, and in
empowering national banks to issue
and regulate the currency. Two
things which especially soften the
tone of his financial recommenda-
tons are contained in his closing
suggestions, and it would seem that
banks themselves will hesitate to en-
dorse the items alluded to. First
the president would require banks
to redeem their own notes in gold,
and secondly, forbid banks to issue
notes under the denomination of $40,
supposedly intending the smaller
denominations to be supplied by
means of silver. All in all, it is "A
good massage and even fairer to the
interests of silver men than they
generally expected.

The last issue of the Western
Mining World contains an article
upon the work of the Denver min
ing congress which is worth the
price of years subscription to read.
by this paper it would appear that
the committee of the mining con-
gress recommends the modification
of laws so that prospectors besides
doing the requisite amount of work
upon discovery would also be re-
quired to pay 500 for each claim
discovered. No law would be more
detrimental to the prospecting in
dustry than this. For the average
prospector-the man engaged in
finding mines-has not the money
to meet such expense. The enact
ment of such provision into law
would etfectually kill the prospect
ing industry and set afoot the most
important class of men who ever
trod the hills.
