OUR COUNTRY GROWS

America is growing faster than any

Star, which has been looking up the
facts as proven by the statistics, finds
that the growth of American trade has
Surpassed the growth Of the. trade of
the United Kingdom, of Germany and
of France all put together. And what
is true of her trade is true of her devel-
opment and wealth along other lines.

POP BOSSISM.

The Pop party IS the party of bosses:
pre-emfnent. Tammapy will yet sit al
the feet of the Pop party for pointers.
1t is an organization which originally
got its life and inspiration from the rele-
gated of both the old parties. Being
born of bosses, its rank and file never
entertained one original thought Inc
average Pop absorbs his lesson from
some sub-bOss on the curbStone OF MS
country town, from whom he also re-
celves his instructions. They know
nothing and believe little of what they
see or near except as ii is impaired to
them from the heads which they blindiy
follow. 1t is astonishing with what
confidence the great body Of the Pop
party swallows the instructions and
obeys the commands of its bosses, from
the chief heads down to the township
oracle. 1t has been but year or two,
right here in wideIawake Kansas, since
the body of the PopuliSt party were for
hidden To listen TO any but Pop litera-
ture and Pop orators Think Of this,
and among intelligent and self-reliant
Americans. The car of Russia cannot
go so far with his former serfs. 4 few
thousand Of these men, as was evil
denced by the last election have got
their eyes open. 1t Is to be hoped that
they will keep both eyes and ears open
hereafter, not only TO what their own
bosses are doing, but what is going Oh
in the world around Them. The Demo
cratic party has been a party of ign0r-
ance and bossism. during its entire ex-
istence, and bossism has at times DOM
mated too much the Republican party.
But the intelligence. the inherent equal
ity to be found in the Republican party
renders the existence of the boss precari
Gus and short-lived. But wherever you
find a Pop organization you will find
bossism fourishing. Without its bosses
it is nothing.

A WOMAN OR CALF's FEMuR.
Question an Expert Had to Settle In Lieut.
CERT Trial

Chicago, September 16.-Adolph Il L..
Luetgert limped into the court room to-
day leaning heavily on crutch. The
big prisoner in tramping the jail corri-
doris had Slipped and SO severely sprained
his leg that walking was painful. The
trial was not resumed until considerably
later than usual.
Prof. George Dorsey of the Field Column
b1an museum, said that yesterday he ha d
said that the female femur bone which
ne had identified was from the left leg.
He desired to correct this. The bone,
the professor said, was from the right
leg.
The principal witness of the afternoon
was Prof. Dorsey who took the stand
for cross-e1amination. Attorney Vincent
said he wished to show that the femur
of. hog was identical with the femur
the state had introduced and which Prof.
Dorsey had identified as the right femur
of human being, a female. After fur
Their questioning with reference to wheth-
er or not Prof. Dorsey had ever dissected
calf or sheep, and receiving negative
answer to the latter animal. Attorney
Vincent asked: 'iHow do you know
then that is not calf's femur?''
Because from O careful examination
of it believe it to be human temur, !"
replied the witness.
Why Do you consider it the femur of
a woman?'
Because it Is smooth and has the
shape and other distinguishing char.
acteristics of the female femur," replied
the witness.

His Lucky Number.

"That boat" said the old vessel owner
to a Buffalo Courier reporter, II bought
on Friday, the 18th day of the north,
and in the dark of the moon. She was
as slick craft as you ever see and with
out weak spot n her. made pay
ment down Of $4,000, and the first crew
put on her consisted of just thirteen msn
The only pet they had on board was a
green eyed black cat that slept in the day
time and tore around the riggin' at night.
= loaded the barge at Grand Haven
for Tonawanda with cargo of green
lumber. The showers began at five o'clock
in the morning and were just thirteen
hours gettin' her ready to clear. Friday
morning she encountered fearful blow in
upper Lake Michigan. Every one of the
crow of thirteen was swept overheard,
ship and cargo being left to the mercy of
wind and waves The cat was the only
living thing aboard"
Terrible, wasn't it?''
"Might have been worse, The thirteen
people were picked up alive. When the
storm subsidized we found the ship tossing
around in dead sea, but not very seri-
ously damaged. The cat was sitting on
top of the deckload washing his face, and
there wasn't enough lumber lost to build
a hen coop. She made that trip and fifty
others without an accident. l never
allowed her to clear except. on Friday, the
crew remaining at thirteen and the cat
was the mascot.
But one night the captain got smart.
He left the harbor before midnight on
Thursday. One Of the men had failed to
appear and the cat was foraging ashore.
The weather was fine, no collision was
reported, but I've never heard from her
since"
