ON SLIPPERY STREETS.
The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling.

The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling.
There are right and wrong ways to do
most things, and walking on icy side
walks is no exception to the rule, SAYS
the New York World. Many people
follow the wrong method, and as a re-
suit they often make exhibitions of
themselves more pleasing to the specta-
tors than to the exhibitors Falls are
frequent in New York city during the
winter. Some of them are absolutely
dangerous and many are painful.
The dangers of slippery and icy pave
ments may be reduced to a minimum by
using caution when walking. By going
on tiptoe and keeping the heel of the
shoe from striking the pavement until
the foot is firmly in position slipping is
avoided. If, on the contrary, you start
with the heel and toe gait popular with
pedestrians your heel will slfp from I'M
der you and you fall before you have
had time to select the safestsp spot
This is readily explained by the fact
that when the ball of the foot is placed
on the ground large section of the shoe
touches the pavement and the body
must necessarily be pretty well bal
anced on the foot. But when the heel
comes down first only small portion
of the shoe touches the pavement, and
often the foot is well in advance of the
body. Try it once and be convinced
that the mincing walk of the typical
dandy is sometimes safe if not grace
full.

Could anything be more shame
full? Public sentiment has long
demanded that justice be done

the behest of a gigantic corpora
ton, the president sits idle while
almost in sight of our shores are
committed acts of savagery and
inhumanity at which the world
recoils. 1t seems that the pres
ent administration is to be a
black spot in our history, but the
blacklist of all will be the failure

THE Weatherford Democrat
says: 'Could we not increase
our happiness and prolong our
lives by blotting out all the dis
agreeables of life? They will
come, but constant thought of the
acts of meanness or malice will
tend to make you more familiar
with them. Forget the fault
finding, and give little thought
to the cause that provoked it.
Forget the peculiarities of your
friends and only remember the
good points that make you fond
of them. Start out with a clean
sheet for each day, and write
upon it, for sweet memories
sake, only those things that are
lovable.''

MCKINLEY AND CUBA.

The press dispatches give US
the most narrowing details of
starvation and suffering in Cuba.
OF twenty-five hundred nom
combatants forced to leave their
homes by the military authorities,
it is said that all but five have
died of starvation. This is doubt
less an exaggeration, but if one
tenth be true it is enough to cast
an indellible stain on our own
government. l am not in any
sense a tFjingo." l do not think
it the duty of the United States
to espouse the cause of our
weaker neighbors right or wrong,
and so long as the war between
Spain and her rebellious colony
is conducted according to the
usages of civilized nations, it is
none of our affair. But there is
one thing as much the duty of
our government as any other
legal act it could perform, and
that is the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans. This
is right they have earned by
waging war for nearly three
years against the powerful armies
of Spain. Grant them this and
the war would not last six months
longer. This would be step at
which Spain could not reasona-
bly, complain, for it has always
been customary among nations
to recognize as bellegerents any
power able to control armies and
fight pitched battles. Few casual
readers realize the difference
this would make in the position
of the insurgents. At present
they have no more rights I'M
der any law than Jesse James
gang had when they plundered

trains in Missouri. Instead of
being treated as prisoners of war
when captured they are either
shot or transported to a penal
colony. This could all be chang
ed by recognition, and that is an
act wholly in the power of Pres
'ident Mckinley, and one which
no power on earth could justly
condemn. That Mckinley should
refuse them this justice and
scheme in the interest of the SUI
gar trust for the admission as
"a state of their plantations
in Hawaii is the browning shame
of the century. 1t is not fear of
Spain that causes him to tacitly
approve the horror of this Cuban
war, for recognition of Cuban
.beligerancy is not an act hostile
to Spain. The interests of the
sugar trust far outweigh the
claims of justice and humanity.
With the plantations of Cuba
wasted by war, the trust is rid of
a competitor in the markets of
the world. 1t is even thought
that the agents of that vast octo-
pus are buying up the ruined
plantations of Cuba at far less
than their value with a view to
forever controlling the worlds
supply of sugar. When this is
accomplished they will give Nc
Kinley permission to intervene,
and the war will be terminated at

MARK the man. Saws the 60

MARK the man, says the Co
manche Chief, who sends away
from home for everything he can
get, and when you need anything
in his line and cannot buy it
from some other home dealer,
send off for it if you can find the
article anywhere else between
the two oceans. This is fair.
Give the enterprising gentleman
allopathic doses of his own de-
lightful medicine, and feed him
on it until he realizes what such
a policy means. So far as the
Chief and its household are con-
cerned we are going to pursue
that course in future. AS long
as newspaper men show no re-
sentiment they will continue to be
ignored and trampled upon as
worms in the dust. We are GO
ing to again demonstrate that the

A Short Treatise Showing the Benefits
Accruing From Legislative Mas
sage Treatment.

sage treatment
Some of the most pronounced
benefits to the general public ac-
cruing from the assembling Of
the twenty fifth legislature are
just at present being made par
ticular manifest.
We note with unfeigned pleas
ure the absence of a certain class
of attractions-or distractions
that have in times past and gone
made days miserable and nights
hideous by their Internal noises
and their more reprehensible
methods.
No longer does the lascivious
pleasing of a squeaky banjo,
coupled with the stentorian ac-
cents of the artist in burnt cork,
summon the unsuspecting and
the unwary to where the lurking
liver pad and the insidious cleo
trio belt are to be had at half
price for one day only and that
exclusively for the purpose of in
Producing them.
The only genuine whoop-'em-
up-liza-jane exhibition on earth
has made its last grand farewell
bridal tour in Texas for some
years to come. The bearded
lady on the flying trapeze has
taken a back seat. DR.. Sure
death, with his panaceas for all
the ills that flesh is heir to, has
entirely disappeared. The long
haired dentist who pulls your
teeth free and your leg freely
has been relegated to the UNI
brageous shadows of inocuous
dessuietude. The soap artist,
whose wares were guaranteed to
remove stain from your con-
science, is now badly pune
tured bubble. DR.. -Corncure,
with his razor paste and patent
reversible red ant exterminator,
has gone the way of all flesh.
The vendor of colored charts,
showing the internal workings
of the human anatomy and how
often we ought to take Shasuga
swill, is not playing return en-
gagement.
The taxes levied by the last
legislature put a large seal
brown kerbosh on all these
swindling concerns, and the gen.
eral public pockets the difference.
