The Little Girl with Two Faces.

/ heard a strange thing the other
day. 1t was of little girl who Aad
two faces! When she is dressed up in
her best clothes, when some friends
are expected to come to tea, or when
she is going out with her mother to
bright and sweet and good that you
would like to kiss her. With nice
white dress on, and perhaps 4 blue
sash and pretty little shoes, she ex-
poets her mothers friends will say:
What pretty little darling!" or
What a sweet little face. Let me
kiss it." And so she always has a
smile on her face, and when she is
spoken to, she says, Eyes, ma'am,"
mo, ma'am," when she ought, and
Thank you" very sweetly, when any
thing is given her.
But, dc you know, when she is alone
with her mother, and no company is
expected, she does not look like the
same little girl. If she cannot have
what she would like, or do just what
she wishes, she will pout and scream
and cry, and no one would ever think OF
kissing her then.
So you see the little girl has two
faces-one she uses in company. and
puts it on just like her best dress; and
the other she wears when she is at
home alone with her mother.
also know little girl who has only
one face, which is always as sweet as
peach, and never sWeeter than when
she is at home, and her mother wants
her to be as useful as she can be and
help her. | think that | need scarcely
ask you which of these little girls you
like the best, or which of them you
would most like to esemDle.-Oliya

The Farmers Doing Better.

Here is what the Topeka (kansas)
Capital has to say about those people
who, like Mr.. Bryan, are dissatisfied
because the republican party, in less
than three months, is unable to en-
tirely undo ard rectify the errors
which it took the last administration
four years to commit. TIE Capital
says:
No sensible person ever said, and
no reasonable person ever expected the
hlunders Of four years to be all
corrected and everything made lovely
in the twinkling OF an eye. Reason
able people will be willing to wait un-
til Mckinley and his party have had
time to crystalline their notions into
law, and get the governmental mschin-
cry to running in harmony with their
notions before crit:cising them.
But we'd like to ask these dis
gruntled editors if t:le mere anticipa-
ton of these things hasn't already
started a pretty good-siged wave of
prosperity?
Have you heard anything since the
4th Of March about the gold reserve
playing out and bonds being issued to
maintain it?
And will you please name a single
thing that the Kansas farmer raises
that does not bring better price than
it did year or six months ago?
How is it with cattle?
How is it with hogs?
How is it with sheep?
How is it with wool?
How is it with wheat?
How is it with corn?
How is it with everything on the
market. except, possibly, Pop Legisla-
tors? They are cheap, very cheap.

Advice to Boys.

Horace Mann gives a bit of advice
to boys: You are made to be kind,
boys - generous, magnanimous. II
there is a boy in school who has a
club foot, don't let him know you ever
saw it. If there is boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his
hearing. If there is a lame boy, as
sign him to some part of the game that
doesn't require running. If there is a
hungry one, give him part of your
dinner. If there is a dull one, help
him to get his lessons. If there is a
bright one, be not envious of his tai
ents, for if one boy is proud of his
talents and another envious of them,
there are two wrongs and no more
talent than before. If larger or
stronger boy has injured you, and is
sorry for it, forgive him. All their
school will show by their countenances
how much better it is than to have a
great fuss. And remember VINO said
Love your enemies and Bless them
which curse you"

Blaine's Words Promised Prosperity.

I:laine's Words Promised Prosperity.
The commercial history of the Unit
ed States has been a history of alter
nate waves of depression and prosper
ity. They recur with unvarying uni
formity, nor is there much difference
in the duration of each period. Blaine
in his work, Twenty Years in Con-
gress," charged these tickle conditions
to tariff changes. He conclusively
showed that whenever the Democrats
secured control of the government a
low tariff Immediately followed and
panic invariably followed the low tar
if. The panic caused the overthrow
OF the Democratic party, whereupon the
Wings, and later the Republicans, rode
into power, restored the tariff, and
prosperity Immediately ensued. This
has been the commercial record Of the
United States. 1t has never been dis
puted, for it is cold history, as distinct
ly marked as wars and presidential
SUGGESTIONS.
This being the case, we are evidently
entering upon a season of renewed
prosperity. The next three or four
years ought to be a period of good
times. And the indications will prob
ably be realized. 1t pleases the busi-
ness class all over the country to be-
lieve so at any rate, and the business
class is never very far wrong where
it's cash box is ccncerned.-San Fran
cisco Call.

washington Correspondence.)

washington COrreSpOnQence.)
There are unmistakable signs of
business improvement, not only here
but in all parts Of the country, and
reflected here. The reports of the
banks, the reports Of the commercial
agencies, the reports of the merchants,
the reports OF their travelling statesmen
and, above all, the reports which the
members Of congress are receiving
from their constituents are all encour-
aging.
The most accurate business barom-
eter is that which indicates the prog
ress of business among the banks OF
the country. If their loans and dis
counts are heavy it Is an evidence that
the business men are preparing for re-
entering into active business pursuits.
The May reports to the comptroller OF
the currency show a much improved
condition of the national banks Of the
great cities in this particular. Their
loans and discounts are increasing, in
diyidual deposits are heavy and there
is a general tone of Improvement and
an evidence of business revival which
will increase from month to month
when business is able to adjust itself
to the new tariff.
More Southern Protectionists.
The protection party in the senate
received another acquisition to its
ranks this week in the transfer of
Hon. ]. c. McLaurin from the house
to the senate. to succeed the late SEN
ator Earle of South Carolina. Mr..
McLaurin's speeches in the house dur
ing the consideration of the Dingiey
bill --nre strongly in favor of protec-
ton d against the democratic the
ory OF free raw material. There were
already five southern protectionists in
the senate and thirty in the house.
Mr.. McLaurin's transfer to the senate
strengthens the protection wing in
that body, and it is probable that he
will be succeeded by another protec-
tion democrat from his own district in
the house.
Gold Scorned by Democrats.
The political outlook Tor the gold
democrats is not very cheering when
they turn their faces in the direction
of the so-called democracy. In New
York, New Jersey, Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Iowa and in pretty much
every state where there are to be cleo
tons this fall the free coinage of sill
ve1 is being made a leading issue, and
such leaders" of that party as Will
lam Jennings Bryan and Richard
Parks Bland are loudly prcclaiming
that there is no place in that party
for men who do not believe in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Ex-Candidate Bryan knows which
side of his bread is buttered. He is
quite conscious of the fact that the
return of the gold democrats to the
ranks of the democracy would be ia
tai for his ambitions for the presi-
Dental candidacy in 1900. Hence he
has issued prcnunciamentO announc
ing that gold democrats cannot be ad
mitted to the democratic party unless
they abandon the gold standard and
accept free silver as the principle Of
democracy.

Will Sue Custer County.

It has been determined by the
State authorities to bring suit
against Custer county for the taxes
of 1896. That county RENTED by
check on the Bunting bank, but
the bank failed before the check
could be presented. The county
officials have refused to acknowledge
that the county owes the State, and
the matter is to be taken into the
courts. A difference Of opinion has
arisen between the State Auditor
and the Acknowledgement over the
subject. 1t is the Auditors duty
to look after such matters, but the
law provides that either official
may employ counsel under certain
conditions. The Attorney General
has appointed J. H. Hawley to bring
the suit, but the Auditor refuses to
indorse the appointment, claiming
that it is the duty of the district
Attorney. The suit will be brought
in Ada county, and the Auditor
has asked District Attorney Hays
to take charge of it.

More Goldbug intolerance.

Professor Ross of the Stanford
University has been dismissed from
the chair of economics because oil
his pronounced views on the silver
question. DR.. Ross, in the Presi
dental campaign of 1896, expressed
himself freely and forcibly in favor
Of free coinage. He contended there
could be no permanent prosperity
in the United States until the mints
are open to silver and gold on equal
terms. His arguments were clear,
logical and unanswerable, at least
the gold press and speakers could
not refute them. That a professor
in University endowed by million.
aires should teach the heresy oil
bimetallism was not to be tolerated
and Dr.. Ross was notified that he
would have to vacate the chair Of
economics, at least he SAYS so in a
letter to a friend in Chicago. This
is the third dismissal of eminent
men from professorships in Univer-
sites because of their views on the
silver question. The gold men. un.
able to combat the views, content
themselves with depriving them oil
the positions they occupied in ed
ucational institutions. The wealth
Of the country is arrayed on the
gold side and the mushroom mill
ionaires exercise their power as
despotically as the Gear of Russia
or the Emperor Of China.
Professor Jordan of Stanford says
that Professor Ross was not dis
missed but simply transferred to
the Department of Social Science.
This will have the same effect, how.
ever. as if he had been dismissed.
as he will have no opportunity to
explain to the students the neces-
sity of bimetallism in a debtor
country like the United States and
the fallacies of the single standard
advocates.
At present the gold men have
control Of the General Government
and of nearly all the educational
institutes in the country and that
they are mercilessly exercising their
authority the dismissal of college
professors proves beyond doubt or
dispute.
