had never seen.
In the village of Banbury. at the open
ing of the war, lived prosperous young
merchant, John Lorimer. He had not
been married long when the call for
o0-day volunteers came, and for this and
other reasons he did not feel it incum-
bent upon him to respond to the call.
But when it was seen that the civil war
was assuming alarming proportions.

but one thing to do He sold out his
business, and, turning the proceeds of
the sale and all his other property over
to his wife, he went to the front as sec

by Banbury and neighboring villages.
For a year or more came. with more
or less regularity, Johns CHEEKY, breezy
letters, in which the discomforts of
camp-life were depicted as joke, and
the horrors of war as pastime. Then
came the account of battle, with the

Under DR.. Bakers somewhat primi-
tive treatment the patient did not

at the end of a week, at Mrs. Lorimer's
suggestion. a physician from the city
was sent for.
That eminent practitioner arrived,
asked few questions. examined the pa

physician went on musingly as he turned
to his case of surgical instruments.
In few hours, the city physician,
having removed the old plate and re-
niaced it with new one. took the train
home, leaving behind him patient who
was sleeping as quietly as a babe. To
Mrs. Lorimer the doctor said, at part
ing:
"All your patient needs now is good
nursing, and | know, madam, he will
receive it at your hands. When he re-
gains consciousness, it will be, | think.
as perfectly sane man."
The second morning after the doctors
departure Mrs. Lorimer was leaning
over the sick man. when suddenly his
eyes opened.
I've been pretty sick. haven't L,
uurse?" he asked with faint smile.
Yes, indeed. But you mustn't talk.
What shall l get you to eat?''
How long will it be, do you think,
before l can go home"' persisted the
man.
Not for quite awhile yet, I'm afraid.
Where do you live?"

John in the sitting-room heard his
mothers scream. and, bounding up the
stairs three steps at u time, found her

1t was all soon explained. John

from the hospital as cured--but he had

iInbecile besides. In this condition he
had passed % long years-years of
which he had no recollection whatever.
But the hush.n of her youth was
again with her III the flesh, and Mrs.
Lorimer's steadfast faith was justified.

Republicans Are Afraid of Their Own
Medicine.

Medicine.
Republican newspapers are severe in
their criticisms of the Dingley bill, as
it has been amended by the senate COM
mittee, and it is hard to find any COM
mandatory words concerning it any
where. The fact is the republicans arc
afraid of their own measure, and the
result will be a struggle for revision
all along the line.
When leading republican newspaper
is forced to confess that the wool sched-
uIe, as proposed, will result in direct
tax of about three dollars per capita an
nually on the people of the United
States, the moss-grown fable that 1.-The
foreigner pays the tax" must certainly
cease to have much influence as an ar
gllment. Facts are stubborn things,
and when such facts as these are stand
ing in the way, the triumphal march of
protective tariff is badly blockaded.
With tariff on tea, which is in no
sense protective, as tea is not grown in
the United States; with tariff on cof-
fee, another strictly foreign product,
and with a tariff on wool, which results
in a direct tax which American con-
sumers must pay, the sophistry of re-
publican arguments is made self-evi-
dent-so evident, indeed, that repub-
lican newspapers are obliged to confess
judgment.
just how the return of prosperity is
to be brought about by laying heavier
burdens of taxation upon the people
than those which they are now stagger
ing under, is problem which the clev-
crest Of republicans are unable to solve.
The whole matter is a hopeless chaos,
and the only men who are getting any
profit out of this tariff agitation are
the shrewd importers and the gamblers
in sugar trust stock.-Chicago Dispatch.

The republicans are IN supreme
control of the national government.
They have had ample opportunity to
try their hand. but prosperity has not
come, nor do we see any sign of its
coming, and we cannot even see the
shadow of it under the far horizon.
Meanwhile the silver sentiment is stead

If Bryan Had Been Elected.

If BRYAN had been elected and sill
yer remOnetizcG, farmers and producers
would have received prices for their
products that would have enabled them
TO pay their taxes and other fixed
charges, and have had surplus with
which to buy the products of the me-
chanics, artisans and other producers,
who are now idle because the farmer
had to sell his products at the low
prices resulting from the appreciated
value of the dollar. Ii Bryan had been
elected wages would not go down; in
most cases they would go up, and al
though the increased wages might not
more than equal the increased cost
Of the wage-maker's necessary expenses,
there would be plenty of work instead
of little, or none at all. If Bryan had
been elected there would have been a
boom in business before this time;
money would be plenty; real estate
would be in demand at good prices; fac
tories would be running full handed,
and business men and wage-workers
alike would be enjoying the benefits of
the restoration of silver to its old place
as one of the primary money metals
of the country.-Illinois State Register.
