scalp on that ere doll"
At the end of the week Amy Parker
came into the store. The landlord
was getting impatient for his rent,
the grocer had sent in his bill, the
butcher might send in his at any mo-
ment, and she felt that money must
be had.
Mr.. Scott eyed her grimly.

rusalem is SOLID"
"Just aus 1 told you," snarled Mr..
Scott. ''Your city is broken to
pieces!"
''Broken?" gasped Amy.
Eyes, broken! L gave you to under
stand that we would not take any
risk. And now hope you are salts

Gould I have the pieces? Perhaps
"No. you CAN'T" said Mr.. Scott
''We're not in the habit of mending
things and keeping them to be called
for!'
So Amy went away.

| Edwin Phillips, the silent partner,
who stood by and overheard the con-
versation, ''that you were unnecessa-
rily sharp with that pretty, shy girl
Mr.. Scott smiled disdainfully.
MY dear Mr.. Phillips, if you only
knew half the trouble she has given
mel"
AS he went back to his office, old
Peter Chace met him.
"Ifayou please, sir, [ have mended
dhe city Of Jerusalem so mortal eye
could not tell where it was broken,
and Mrs. Taylor offers fifty dollars
for it,
Fifty dollars, eh? What am old
fool" said Scott, involuntarily.
Curiosity collectors are mostly all
FOOLS, sir,' said Peter, with a mean
ing smile; "at least, that's my opin-
| ion.'
LET her have it," hastily retorted
Scott, and he smiled as he thought
what a fine stroke of business he was
doing.

She had taken three and half
yards of black lace to Mrs. Taylor,
and there, right before her eyes ON an
onyx table, was the little Jerusalem

Worlds Fair.

was very deaf and good-natured, cit is

it. | don't often take a fancy to such
a thing, and when | do | can afford to

long breath.
And the poor girl Jrembled so that

LITTLE JERUSALEM.

making the Brussels carpet and an
ciemt furniture look more threadbare
and shabby.
Yet the Widow Parker was a lady
born and bred, and she moved across
the floor like a queen on this rainy
evening, to the small ebony table
where her supper awaited her-only
slice of delicately Drowned toast,
some jelly in a cut-glass dish, and
cup of tea, but daIimtily served in rare
china, upon Large, fine damask nap
kin, folded so deftly that the darns
thereon could not be perceived.
She was of medium height and a
brunette, with very large dark eyes,
to which her heavily-marked eye
brows impaired an almost sombre ex
preston. Heavy masses of once jet
black hair wreathed a beautifully
shaped forehead. There was some
thing peculiar in her face-an express
sion of concentrated suffering and
sort of proud resignation mingled
with contempt.
Her two daughters were busily
working at one of the windows, try
ing to catch the last rays of light
which were fast fading. Amy was
crocheting some heavy black silk lace,
designed for hberally disposed people
in the neighbour hood, and little Flor
RE assisted her sister in covering
small rings with the silk which went
toward making UP the pattern.
Ere she seated herself, Mrs. Parker
cast a penetrating look around the
apartment.
'Do I miss something's" said she.
''T'he room looks strange and bare.
Oh, I see nOw-Brother Jacks little
Jerusalem is gone!"
Amy bent more closely over her
work; Florrie flushed as red as the
ribbon on her black curls. Their
mothers scrutinizing glance transfx-
ed them, as 1T were.
''Whalt has become of little Jerusa-
len?" she demanded authoritatively.

''To O'Neil's! What for? For re-
pair?''
Amy eagerly caught at the feeble
straw of equivocation.
''You know, mamma, it was out of
order somewhat
but couldn't you have mended it
yourself with a little cement? All,
me! Girls are not what they were
when [ was young!" And Mrs. Par
ker sat down ITO her tea with a sub
dued sigh.
The following morning Amy stole
out at the basement door, dressed for
the street, with little Jerusalem snug
ly packed under her arm-little Jeru-
salem, that dead-and-gone Uncle Jack
had brought from the Worlds Fair.

Mr.. Scott, the superintendent at

it from it's wrappings of tissue paper.

''No market for that sort of trinket

scheme.
you can leave it on your own re-
spomsibility. Of course, if it should
sell, we shall expect fifty per cent
commission. But there's not much
chance of that
So Amy went away, with heart as
| heavy aus lead, after she and Jessie
Yocott had placed little Jerusalem in
as inviting a spot as possible on the
plate-glass counter.
"Would ten dollars be too much to
ask for it?" she modestly inquired of
Mr.. Scott, ere she went out.
"You can ask what you please, %

And accordingly Jessie marked it

Half an hour afterward Mrs. Sgd

over with diamonds, to look ait jew

Jessie Yocott carried out the shat

her eyes.

cross road will be covered and there
will be meetings nightly.
Aside from the Ohio Republican
leaders to speak in the contest the
best Republican speakers in the coun-
try will be assigned to points. This
State will give three of its favorite Re
publican sons to the cause, Senators
Davis and Nelson and Mr., McCleary
the latter of whom will be particularly
assigned to points where good, strong
talk on the money question is needed
President Mckinley will make a spe-
cial tour through the State, while Big
Tom Reed, Senators Hoar, Lodge, AL
lison and a whole lot of others will
contribute their wit to the campaign.
Ohio may not be talked to death,
but if the campaign is as warm as
predicted, a great many Ohioans will
be whipped to death-or thereabouts.

President Mckinley wisely gave
Minister Sewall to Honolulu the exer-
else of his own judgment as to the pro-
per time for raising the American flag
on the Hawaiien Islands. The sugar
king of the Spreckels stripe disre-
CARDS patriotism when it comes to
gold pouring in his own pocket, and
sees that the annexation of the Islands
to the United States means higher
prices for labor on the Islands, fact
that will decrease Mr.. Spreckels pro-
fits. And Spreckels is willing to pay
Japan neat sum for keeping up the
row with the United States with the
ultimate hope OF defeating annexation
in the United States Senate. We be.
lieve that right and justice will triumph
and that Mr.. SpreckePs pet scheme
will be sat upon.

HAPPY PATRIOTS.

The Cuban patriots, undismayed by
the lack of recognition on the part of
the present administration, which has
not yet seemed to have formulated it's
policy, are carrying on the work of
lighting for liberty in the Island even
far beyond their fondest hopes. Wey-
Ter, the Spanish butcher, by reason of
his inhuman orders, has driven many
men to the Cuban strongholds for the
purpose of taking arms against the
Spaniards, and consequently to-day
the Cubans are great deal stronger
than they we're a year ago. Aside
from this many large expeditions have
landed on Cuban soil from the United
States, Mexico and Jamaica, and the
Cubans are not wanting for ammu-
milton and arms. Further, they are
frequently capturing large conveys OF
Spanish arms, ammunition and food.
Is WeyIer went east to drive the Gu
bans out of the Orient. But Gen
Garcia still holds control of the whole
of Santiago de Cuba, with the excep'
ton of the seaports and a few unim.
portant inland towns. Then Gen
Gomez, the Cuban commanderin
chief, came west, and now his soldiers
are in Mantanzas and Havana pro
vince. Indeed, bands of them are q,
the very gates of Havana. They rush
in and pillage the towns on the out
skirts of the city, and during last weel
several garrisons surrendered, the
Spanish food and goods were destroy
ed, and then the bands retired to dis
tant hills. An attempt to dislodge
them proved fruitless, and cost the
Spanish the lives of many of its sol
diers.
| Spain has lost control of Cuba. The
sooner it's butcher and his soldiers
leave the Island the sooner will mo
theirs cease to weep for slain or muir
dered sons.

HOT IN OHIO.

Ohio is going to be the battle-ground
of the friends and enemies of gold this
fall. Indeed, the old State, the scene
Of SO many heated political battles,
will probably experience contest
more fierce than ever in it's history be-
tween now and election day in Novem-
Der. The silverites have already made
arrangements to run their leading Ma
tional speakers into the State for the
purpose of telling people all about
silver, and the Republican leaders
have just completed a magnificent pro-
gramme for carrying on the campaign.
The contest can be likened to the
transfer of all the forces arrayed
throughout the entire country in the
Presidential campaign of last year
Secretary Dick of the National Re-
publican committee says that the cam

WHOLESALERS INIT.

Local merchants who have watched
the st. Paul and Minneapolis papers
during the past days have undoubt-
eddy seen the names of a number of
wholesale men of those two cities on
the committees appointed by the de-
partment stores to secure rates on
railroads whereby large number of
people can be run into St. Paul aud
Minneapolis, and induced to purchase
goods that are drug on the st. Paul
and Minneapolis market, or are just
about to leave the seasons style count
ers.
These wholesale men include repre-
sentatives from drug houses, the puri-
tanical D. R. Noyes for instance, rep
resentatives from wholesale grocery
houses, Griggs & Cooper, representa-
tives from wholesale clothing houses,
and whole lot of others. These
wholesale men seem to have forgotten
that there are other towns in the State;
aside from St. Paul and Minneapolis
other towns from which they must
draw their jobbing trade, when these
same shark department houses receive
cargoes of goods by way of the lakes
from the manufacturing points east of
Chicago.
And yet they seem to have no con-
sideration for their country patrons.
They seem to be willing, yes, eager,
to join hands with their fellow con-
spirators in st. Paul and Minneapolis
in sucking the blood from the country
business men from whom alone they
receive their vital sustenance Not
that these seekers for bargains are to
get their goods any cheaper, but mere
ly for the purpose of giving them a
cheap ride and an opportunity to
plant their money away from home in
exchange for an out-of- style article, or
articles that the department store will
not warrant.
The country merchant may be an
exceedingly dull person. He may al
low the representative of the wholesale
houses to appear before him with a
full line OF samples and pull the wool
over the merchants eyes as to prices
and quality, as to date of payment
etc., but The GAZETTE is of the opinion
that the country merchant is not 60
ing to allow his wholesale merchant
to join hands with the department
stores in stealing his business and con.
tinue buying from that particular
merchant.
This is a good time to cry q halt.

The man who asserts that the effect
of the Dingley law has not been per-
ceptible in increasing business and in
creasing employ ment, even in the short
time in which it has been in operation,
is either ignorant of the facts or. will
fully misstates them, as many thous-
ands of people receiving employment
since that time can testify.

Those people who are accusing Sen
ator German of straddling again on
the silver question should again read
the platform which his convention
adopted, and they will see that he and
his party are not straddling and have
merely taken their position upon the
Republican platform of last year which
declared for international bimetal
lism, and which the Maryland Demo
cratic platform now so cordially com
mends.

Those silver Senators who have lust

falling off of three cents only to be
noted on Saturdays close, and the op-
ening was very strong at 76 to 75a,
showing that the slump of Saturday,
which ran the price down to 75s, was
the result of local short trading, and
not of any changes in the conditions
which fix the intrinsic value of the CO.
real. The most potent of these con-
ditions, according to advices by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co., is the unques-
toned shortage of the European crops,
and to the causes for the advance
must be added the possibility that on
account of poor yield by her own
grain provinces Russia will prohibit
the expectation of wheat. Should this
occur France and Germany, which
take practically all the Russian ex-
port wheat, will be short about 1OO,-
100000 bushels, the amount exported
from Russia in 1897 being 1OS,OOO,OOO
bushels. The Russian crop this year,
however, is from 25 to so per cent
short of last seasons production, 80
that in any event the exports will not
be nearly as large as usual.
France, which is always alert on
questions affecting its food supply,
has steadily led in the bidding for
American wheat, and Paris cables
Monday morning reported a slight ad-
vance. Liverpool was steady, and the
English are exhibiting their usual pro-
crastination about coming into the
market on an advance. They have for
the last four years been so accustom-
ed to seeing wheat on the decline that
they are loath to believe the present
substan tial rise a permanent one.
Thus far the foreigners have made the
American market, since prices started
up from the IS cent mark, and this
without much assistance from Eng
land, but should speculative buying
on large scale begin in this country
present figures would look anything
but high. The price conditions which
have now been established a sufficient
length of time to make it seem reason
able that they will be maintained un-
til another crop is in sight assure the
American farmer about $1OOOOO,OOO
more for his farm products than was
obtained in 1896, and there is nothing
apparent which can materially reduce
these figures, while much may occur
to broaden and strengthen the present
market.

IMPURE BOOKS

There are books like some of Bull
wer's, Hardy's Tess and Jude" and
many others it will not do to read.
They are impure, vicious, corrupting.
We would never think of commencing
them. They are only fit for brOthels
and bad places generally. They sug-
gest nastiness and wreak with filth. But
that class and kind Of books is very
different from novels like THE Scarlet
Letter." THE Silence of Dear Matt
land" "The Bride of Lamnermoor,"
Les Miserabeles," and the great trag-
edies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripe-
des, and S~hakespeare's "Othello" and
Hamlet" No pure mind was ever
tainted with them. There is nothing
in them to create a desire for sin, for
immoral indulgence. We wrote this
because of the much that is said of the
action of the Philadelphia school Off
Gals in excluding Hugo's immortal
masterpiece, probably the greatest
novel ever written, Les Miserabiles"
from the public schools. We would not
censure them sweepingly. There are
things in the novel that we would not
select for the reading OF a class of
