LIFE SAVED BY A PUPPY.

Remarkable Cure of nm Infant
Through Contact with n Dog.
A story of the remarkable cure eff
fected in the case of an infant child
OF William McGinty has caused much
comment here, says Long Branch dis
patch to the St. Louis Republic. Nc
Ginty is prominent member of the
American Volunteers. The McGinty
baby became seriously i'll two weeks
ago, and as the usual remedies failed
to do amy good and the little one lost
flesh and strength rapidly, physicians
We're summoned. They said that the
child's heart was weak, and that there
was no hope of it's recovery.
The father was in despair, and was
willing to grasp at any suggestion
which promised the slightest hope of
success. Finally neighbor urged Nc
Glnty to place puppy in the baby's crib
at night.
"And what then?" asked the mysti-
fed father.
Just leave the puppy there" said his
adviser. That's all. The baby will
gain in strength. The puppy will lose"
The experiment was made at once.
After two days the baby was percep-
tibly stronger. On the third day the
improvement was marked, and the dog
displayed symptoms of restlessness and
weakness. 1t lost flesh; the baby
gained in weight.
As the days passed little, color
crept into the child's cheeks and they
began to regain the roundness they had
lost. The dog continued to grow thin
ner and weaker. At the end of ten
days the child had apparently regained
its natural health and strength, and the
puppy was removed from it's crib
The father feared that a relapse
might follow, but there was no sign of
it, and to-day his child is seemingly in
the best.of health. The puppy, instead
of regaining its strength after being
separated from the child for whose
health it had been sacrificed, grew
gradually weaker, and in spite of unre-
uniting care, it died.

How a Donkey Found a Mine.

The history of mine discoveries in
the West is full of strange and mus
ing incidents. Many of the most cele-
brated mines or lodges have been
found by accident. Some of these ac-
cidental discoveries are laughable in
the extreme. One of them occurred
in connection with the discovery of
one of the richest mines in the Cnur
d'Alene country in Idaho. In this
case common donkey or jackass or
"burro" as one chooses to term it,
was credited with the finding of the
mine.
The Norther Pacific Railways finely
illustrated tourest book, Wonderland
81. has a chapter on mining in the
West, in which the incident alluded
to is given. 1t shows how, homslight
or trivial things, great results may
flow. There are also articles on Yell
lowstone Park, Alaska, cattle raising
etc. By sending six cents in postage
stamps to Chas. s. Fee, Gen. Pass
Agent, st Paul, Mimi, anyone can
obtain copy of this book. 1t is full
of historical fact and descriptive mar
ratiye, and valuable as school text
book.

No Change.

We see the same loafers around
town who were here before election.
They are the same fellows who were
cussing the democratic party for
making hard times. They marched
in all the gold standard parades, and
couldn't apply vile enough epithets
to free silver men. They were the
most insulting men on the streets all
last campaign, and now they are
compelled % take their medicine in
bitter doses. They have on the same
frayed trousers, the same threadbare
coats, the same old hats and shoes

beauties of the gold standard Wash

Chairman Hanna's Pledges.

A Washington special to the Chi
cago Tribune says that it is intinat-
ed at the national capital that chair.
man Hanna entered into a deal with
the railroad corporations whereby,
IN return tor liberal campaign sub.
scriptions for sound money, they
were to get pooling bill.
The Tribune says that the railroads
took little interest in the campaign
until this promise was exacted.
1t appears that tremendous influ.
ence is now being brought to bear on
republican senators to induce them
to carry out the terms of the con-
tract.
1t has been evident for several
months that congress would ulti-
mate]y pass either the Patterson
pooling bill or some measure equally
favorable to the railroads.

Wanamaker's Lament

This is all true. The republican
party throughout the country is to.
day afflicted by a decentralization
such as never in the history of our
politics has come SO suddenly upon
any organization. 1t is only six
months since a republican president
and congress was elected. Today the
whole land is in revolt against the
party in power. 1t is not altogether
the effect of continued hard times; it
is, as Mr.. Wanamaker intimates, due
to loss of confidence in the purposes
of the republican leaders. Boston

The average cost of hogs in the
western packing regions the last
winter was $3.50, the lowest average
since 1882 with but two exceptions.
In the panic of 1860 it was $2.42. In

monetization of silver and the effort
to retire and destroy the gIeenbacks,
it was $2.85. Farmers can see that

The Monetary Stock.
To the Editor Of the Globe,

10 the Editor OF the Globe.
Noting your article, under heading
"Official Figures" in the issue of to-
day, with letter of H. G. Freeman and
your reply, you have not made you,
case stronger than ever, since you dc
not state the facts in the case, which
are that the gold bullion coined in
1895, or any other year, does not give
true measure Of so much additional
money turned into the channels OF
trade for monetary use in the United
States.
The facts are, if you will take the
pains to inquire of the mint, the coin.
age is over and over the same gold,
exported and imported; and by not
ing the exports Of gold from the Unit
ed States, you will see our coins are
exported largely, and only the bar
gold is exported when the coin is not
to be had; and on gold in bars a
premium is charged by the govern
ment, making coin preferable to ex-
port. Little or no gold, in fact, finds
its way in the channels of trade, and
gold is drawn from the banks for ex-
port, as we'll as the United States
treasury. ::
If you will take the exports and i'm.
ports of gold of the United States and
strike a balance, you will see. The
bare facts will stare you in the face,
and show that gold has grown less
and less year by year ever since 1898;
and that, with the minis closed to
silver and it being exported, there
has been no addition to the money of
the United States since 1893, at the
time of the repeal of the Sherman
law, so-called, of 1890. The only &C
tual increase has been from the sma II
amount of coinage from silver seign-
forage.
And, if you look still closer into this
money question, you will find, or you
can get the cold facts from the treas
ury department., that the national
banks have taken mp their bonds
held by the government upon which
issues of bills were issued, and
the bills have been Cancelled, thus
contracting the currency more than
ever, and their bonds were taken out
of the hands of the government, as
the high premium they Cancelled did
not pay the banks and could make
more money than with the money is
sued on them, for which they were
were deposited.
The law allows only SO many bills
to be retired each month, and since
January 1, 1897, they have been with
drawn from circulation to their limit.
This amount allowed to be retired
each month is some s., 900, 900 or more.
You can get at the facts and give
your readers the benefit. Recollect,
the balance of merchandise trade, as
shown in our favor the last few
months, does not show the enormous
sums drained from the United States
in payment of foreign inves tments in
the United States, in interest, BUSH
ness investments, etc., and is far in
excess of any probable increase of
our moneys. The gold standard is
affected by the supply and demand,
same as it applies to all other com.
modities; and all forms of money kept
on parity with gold, and property
being measured by it, it takes more
of such properties to get our gold
standard dollar the dearer it becomes.
