CHANDELIERS HINDSIGHT.

What is this the country hears
from Senator Chandler, Republican,
and lately a vehement enemy of
Democracy "The United States
should not acquiesce permanently in
the single gold standard?7 aThs de-
probation Of property in the United
States since 1890 has been 80 per
cent" and this fall of values and the
fall Of values in other countries shas
been due to the progressive steps in
the characterization of silverH" Such
Continuous shrinkaGe Of property
aud such an increasing burden OF
debt cannot be long endured without
widespread bankruptcy?" "If it had
not been for the fortunate balance of
trade in favor of the United States
in 1896, there would Lave been a
cataclysm in this country which
would have Frustrated all interests?"
"To the system of blmetallism from

defenders Of the nations honor, that
the gold standard is what we need
and must nave, and if we abandon it
we shall sink from among the mos,
highly civilized nations, Turkey in
Guided, to the level Of Mexico and
China? Haven't they told us often
enough that d return to bimetallism
would be dishonest; that it would be
reputation and robbery, and that
those who advocate it are anarchists?
Haven't they settled it once and for
all that the falling markets since 1873
have been due to improved machinery,
to Increased competition, to an over
balancing of the demand for by the
supply of labor, and that prices
haven't fallen since 1873 anyhow?
Haven't they proved concluslvely
that we shouldn't have had any hard
times but for the destruction of COL
fidence by public discussion of what
ais us?
And yet here comes Senator
Chandler, who last year was shouting
and working against bimetallism, and
says that Bryan and Democracy we're
right after all, and that the only
thing that will save the country is the
very thing he helped to make i'm

THEY LIKE THEIR SMOKE
Royal Ladies Who Are Slaves to
the Cigarette Habit.
Empress OF Austria Smokes Forty Conn
Nails Every Day and the Queen
Regent of Spain Is Quite as
bad Fiend.

Within the past few months the large
Paris shops have displayed an endless
variety of smokers trinkets-not for
men smokers, but for women smokers.
This shows better than anything else
the growing love of women for the di-
vine weed. Moreover, this love is sane
toned by European royalty in such an
emphatic manner that it is small won
der that less eminent people should con-
tract the fad, fashion or habit, which
ever it may be.
The queens who smoke are astonish-
ingly numerous when the list is exam
ined, and when the queen smokes her
court ladies also smoke, and the habit
Families through each succeeding class
of society. The empress of Austria is
about the most persistent smoker of
them all, between 35 and 40 cigarettes a
day being necessary to appease her
hunger for Mistress Nicotine. This
would almost entitle her to leading po-
sition among the ranks of cigarette
fiends, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
The Austrian empress uses an amber
tube as cigarette holder to prevent the
dscoloration of her fingers. She smokes
a much stronger cigarette than the or
binary, the tobacco being n Turkish
mixture heavily favored with perique.
She smokes almost necessarily, but
never while court function is in prog
ress.
Queen Amelic of Portugal, one of the
most popular queens that ever occupied
the throne of that kingdom, is an invet-
crate smoker She came by the habit
legitimately, as her mother, the count
ess of Paris, is also addicted to the
cigarette, and from her earliest child
hood Portugal's queen was accustomed
TO the sight of women smoking.
1t has been claimed that this habit
robs women of the prettiest charms of
feminnity, but Queen Amelie is living
contradiction of this assertion. The
poor of Portugal worship her, and call

divided skirts, sombrero and gauntlet
gloves. She is an expert with a lasso
and crack shot with rifle and revolver.
One of her favorite diversions is to lasso
wild Texas steer, saddle and bride
him, mount upon his back and turn
him loose upon the prairie. She says
that these animals are quite as easily
subdued as the average bronco. This
daring young woman is 16 years of
age, tall and handsome, with unusually
pleasant manners, and no one from a
casual observation would imagine for
a moment that she possesses so much
nerve" and reckless courage.
She frequently rides her favorite
horses without saddle or bride, guiding
them by words or by a touch of the
quirt on the side of the neck. This
habit came near bringing her to grief
one day last summer. She had been
training her favorite colt, Lightfoot,
to ride without the customary accou-
trements, and wishing to corral a
bunch of horses she sprang upon his
back, without stopping 20 bride him,
and dashed after them. The horses ran
through an open gate into field in
closed by high barb-wirc fence. BY
this time Lightfoot had become SO eX-
cited from the brisk run as to be alb
solutely manageable, and he made
straight for the fence at his topmost
speed.
For a moment it seemed that horse
and rider must become entangled i'm
the barb-wire and be mutilated, but
just as the animal reached the fence
it made gigantic bound ans, cleared
the obstruction. She succeeded in calm
ing him as her brother and parents
fastened to the scene. They begged her
not to ride the colt again, but her
"blood was up" and she now declared
that she would drive the horses with
Lightfoot just as he was or die in the
attempt. Striking him a sharp blow
with the quirt, she again flew after
them, and this time she succeeded in
landing them safely inside the corral.

railway. Lambert was on his dignity
in a moment. He looked the railway
man straight in the eye and replied,
with all the calm and dcliberation he
could master: my ticket would seem
to indicate that such was my intention"
and almost Immediately regretted it,
for the conductor looked up in sudden
surprise, stood one instent irresolute,
then saying: "Ohl All right" turned
abruptly away, walked up beyond the
stove, and roughly shaking the elbow of
a snoring passenger, sung out: Coates
ville," and let himself out with an en-
phatic bang of the door.
Two days later, when asked at Quit

tenant seemed to be, Mr.. Scroggs, the
conductor, himself soldier Of large ex-
perience and no little ability-a man

Lambert's senior in age, but lustrums
ahead of him in the practical details OF
his PROFESSIONALS. Scroggs, the con-
ductor, promptly said: "He's dam lit
tie fool" and never dreamed how much
ne should one day deplore it.
"Newt" Lambert, as he was known
among his intimates, was far from be-
ing IA fool. He had seen very little of
the world, it is true, and, until this De-
cember night, next to nothing of the
sunny south, where at this particular
period in our national history it was not

which met him day and night now that
peace had come. 1t was at time when
the classes graduating from the mill
tary academy were being assigned main
ly to the staff corps and to the artillery
and cavalry regiments. Lambert fan
cied that he should prefer the associa-
tons and much prefer the stations of
the artillery to those of any other corps,
but an old friend of his fathers, himself
a veteran gunner, advised the young
fellow to seek his fortune elsewhere.
"If you are commissioned lieutenant

before you see your captaincy." And,

Proved 1t.
Some time ago a number of choice
spirits were enjoying little supper in
a certain northern town.
When the cloth had been removed,
and the usual toasts honored, some one
suggested a song. The efforts of the
first gentleman who volunteered to
oblige the company met with such n
hearty reception that others were in
duced to sing.
In the end, it was discovered that
everyone had contributed TO the even
ing's enjoyment with the exception of
the medical gentleman who occupied
the vice chair.
Come, come, DIR. X" said the
chairman, 1--WE cannot allow you to es-
cape"
The doctor protested that he could
not sing.
GAS matter of fact" he explained,
'my voice is altogether unmusical, and
resembles the sound caused by the act
of rubbing brick along the panels of n
door,"
The company laughed and attributed
this tc the doctors modesty. Good sing
ers, he was reminded, always needed n
lot of pressing.
Very well, gentlemen" said the doc
tor, rising to his feet; "if you can stand
it 1 will sing"
Long before he had finished his au-
dience was uneasy. The unwilling
singer had faithfully described his
voice.
There was painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length by

GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
A Case of Confession That Had It's Com
pensation.

One disadvantage of too "goody"
books for children is that even the en-
thusiastic reader is prone to mistake
the moral. Mrs. Stanley, the mother
Of Dean Stanley, wrote a friend, while
Arthur was a very little boy, that he
was reading Miss Edgeworth's Frank"
with the greatest eagerness. Yet his
moral deductions therefrom did not
seem to be altogether sound
One day, as his mother was dressing,
she heard him playing with the other
children in the passage outside. Sud-
denly there came a great crash, which
turned out to be from Arthur's running
very fast, not stopping himself in time,
and falling against window so as to
break three panes. He was not hurt,
but one of the children demonstrating
windows, to which he answered, with
great composure:
Eyes, but you know Franks mother
said she would rather have all the win
dows in the house broken than that
Frank should tell lie. So now / can
go and tell mamma, and then ! shall be
like Frank"
When the children entered the room
after dinner, according to custom,
Arthur came first, his cheeks bright
red and his manner full of excitement.
Mamma" he cried, as soon as the
door opened. 81 have broken three panes
of glass in the passage window. and

His mother says it was very evident
that he gloried in the opportunity for
dramatic confession, but nevertheless,
she owns, il is always something of an
effort to tell" and one need not regret
that the humiliation has some NO aral
reward.-Youth's Companion.

so that his leave of absence of three
months did not begin until the 2Sth of
August. He had been assigned to a
regiment whose ranks were sadly de-
| pleted by the yellow fever, and which
was still serving in the south. You
won't have to hoof it out to Idaho or
Montana, anyhow" said a sympathetic
friend, land you'll have no end of fun
at New Orleans"
But Lambert's company was not at
New Orleans. Under recent orders it
had been sent up into the heart of the
country, where some turbulent spirits,
so it was alleged. had been defying the
civil officers of the general government,
and by the time the short southern win
ter set in more than half his regiment,
together with three or four others, had
been distributed by companies or de-
tachments all over the gulf states, and
experienced officers were scarce as hens

staff to keep him there week or so,
that he might see something of the
southern metropolis and of his friends

his exile "up the road" Dining the
very next evening at Capt. Grams, with
Waring and Pierce, of the light battery

with them that he had "made beastly

Lambert was asked: who's in COM
