repetition of an honored past, if this
government is to keep it's skirts clear
OF foreign entanglements and rely

decency for peace with sister nations,
then have we soldiers enough and to

Prosperity for the masses is not CON-

SURE PREvENTAT1vEs OF LYNcH1NGs.- -
Lynch law is simply a violent e1
possession of the pupular distrust o.
legal methods. Reformers who
always begin at the wrong end want
to stop lynching by ipfictipg heavy
punishment upon the entire popula.
ton of counties, towns or cities in
which popular violence has been
done upon criminals. The right rem
edy is SO to rehabitate criminal judi
cial procedure as that criminals will
be brought to justice promptly and
punished severely. When the people
feel that they can place implicit con-
fdence in legal methods, they will
stop lynching.-N. o. Pcayane.

Timothy grass gets its name from
Timothy Hanson, of Maryland, who
cultivated it extensively and brought
it into notice, in this country. It
grows all over Continental Europe,
from the Mediterranean to the North
Sea, and it is supposed that it was
brought to this country from there.
About century ago some of the
seed was taken from Maryland to
England as novelty; it grows wild
on the Continent. In some parts of
the United States it is called herds
grass, but the "herd's grass" of
Pennsylvania, and of some of the
Eastern States, is an entirely differ
ent kind of grass.

To buy and reproduce famous

that could hardly be borne unless, as
in the case of the Youths Compan-

approval of more than five hundred
thousand subscribers. The Compan-

series of charming figure pieces,
faithfully copied in colors and en-
bossed in gold, is recognized as one
of the richest and most costly axam-

new subscriber receives it without
additional charge. Moreover, the
paper is sent free to new subscribers
every week from the time the sub
scription is received until January,
1898, and then for full year to JAN

Some idea of the size of Alaska
may be formed when it is known that
it contains an area of 1880 miles.
This is more than twice the area of

left over to make State like South
Carolina.
