There is story Of Parisian woman
who was noted beauty and belle. She
was happily married, enormously
wealthy, envied aud worshipped, but
one day at the height of her triumph
she committed suicide.
And the reason for her mad, incom-
prehensible act, as discovered from a
note she left, was that she had found
wrinkle on her peerless face, a gray
lock in her soft hair, and so she pre-.
ferred to die rather than to become old
and ugly. OF course the senselessness
and absurdity of her act completely
forces aside any pity for the woman,
but there is pathos about it after all.
Every woman has that feeling in a d.
gree, but in her it was intensified

wheel was revolving at the rate OF 1870

could not fly. 1t was picked up and

1t is difficult for Americans to under.
stand the march of political events in
France, and their details, becs use they
lose sight Of the struggle between the
aristocrat and the democrat. One must
have been O spectator of this struggle
to comprehend its effects. Many of
those who still have monarchial be.
liefs will only admit that the great ru-
raj proprietors, or at most the great
industrial magnates and the great
bankers, can have the pretension to
govern their country. The idea that
lawyer, q doctor, journalist, has
any right to sit in the chamber or the
senate seems to them absurd. And as
for this lawyer, this doctor, this Jour-

Little Worries:

We have read of a battle against
cannibals, gained by the use Of tacks.

was left to care for 1t. The crew, on
returning, saw the situation, and scat
tered upon the deck of the vessel lot
of tacks, which penetrated the bare feet
of the savages, and sent them bowling
into the sea.
We brace ourselves up against great
calamities, but the little tacks Of life,
scattered along our way, piercing our

All He Needed Was Confidence.

A good story. comes from Indiana
on the hackneyed phrase, 'Iave Con-

that he rode on his mule from town to

and when a crowd was gathered, he
would hold forth on the subject until
exhausted and his last words would al
ways be. "have confidence. boys and all

p Some days ago he tried to ride his
mule across swamp on the farm OF
an Irishman some miles north Of Lo-
gansport The mule struck a patch OF
>quicksand and began to sink. Briggs
jumped of to help the mule, but in
stantly began to sink, too. After trying
in vain to get out, be shouted for help
and rang his COW bell with desperation.
At last the owner of the farm came
along, and seeing the state of affairs
said with a twinkle of his eye:
"You must have confidence, Mr..
Briggs. You will be- all right when you

BIMETALLICS
Adopt Cuban Resolutions
Will Read and Discuss Chambers
SILVER Speech

The Salem Bimetallic Union met
Thursday evening with a large at
tendance at their hall in the Turner

Quite a number Of guests were pres
ent, among them being Representa-
tatiyes U'Ren, Bilyeu, Ogle and Bark
ley, Senator Holt Of Jackson, Frank
williams and S. B. VanDyke OF Den
yer, Col. The topic under discussion
was "bonds" and it was handled very
ably by the gentlemen above named
and by Messrs. Caldwell, Boise, Sher-
man and Others.
Little Bessie Pugh created pleas
ant interruption by recitation that
was thoroughly appreciated.
Among the many things said and
Gone last night was the reading and
unanimous passage Of the following
resolutions, submitted by Capt. d. c.
Sherman, anent the Cuban struggle,
to-wit.
First, That we believe the struggle
of the people of the island Of Cuba is
iustifiable revolution to secure in
dependence.
Second, We believe the war on the
part of Spain to put down this resolu-
tion has been carried on with cruelty
and barbarisn as disgraceful to mod
ern civilization as it has been fruitless
of success.
Third, 1t is the duty of our govern
ment to recognize the stuggle of the
Cubans for independence and call upon
the monarchy of Spain to cease this
cruel warfare and give the Cubans
their liberty.
Fourth, We declare it is our duty,
as free, intelligent and patriot Amer
cans, TO demand that our national
government use all its influence to Sc
cure to the Cubans the blessings Of
peace and independent self-govern-
ment.
The club decided to spend next
Thursday evening in reading and dis
cusslng Senator Chandler's speech
February 16 In favor of bimetallism.
Chandler is Mckinley Republican
and proves that the plague and famine
in India are largely due to the demon
etization of silver in India in 1898.
