1t may be SAID by captlous critics
that the canvasbacks in San Francisco
are not so good as the c~anvasbacks in
Baltimore. Error They are not only
just as good, they are the same. All of
the canyasbacks in the United States
come from the same district, the vast
breeding grounds in Alaska. The ducks,
flying to the southwark, take mp their
various lines of fight over the lakes of
the northwestern states, like Minnesota,
thence down to the Chesapeake marshes,
or dividing and going to the west of
the Rocky mountains, they come to the
feeding grounds which line the great
marshes at the confluence of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers. The
birds come from the same breeding
grounds, they get the same food in our
Suisun marshes as they do on the
Chesapeake-to wit, the wild celery,
Apium graveolens. lin short, the birds
are exactly the same. They differ only
in price.-San Francisco Argonaut

A young married oma was obliged
to remain alone overnight in a st. Louis
hotel a few years ago, her husband be-
ing detained by business in a n%eighbor-
ing town. In the dead of night the wo-
man was awakened out of a sound sleep
by a tremendous noise i'll the wardrobe.
1t was such Il sudden and unearthly up
roar that the woman, sensible and prac-
tioal though she was, was frightened.
The noise ceased, then returned. The
woman jumped up, lighted the gas,
looked at her watch and found it was
just midnight and made Il thorough
search both Of the wardrobe and the
room. There was nothing, so far as the
evidence Of the senses went which could
account for the racket. The woman put
out the light and went back to bed. The
noise was not repeated either that night
OF any other.
Six months afterward, however, the
woman was III San Francisco, and for
the first time III her life and solely ont
of curiosity she attended a s~piritualistic
meeting. Almost Immediately the me-
dunn, a perfect stranger, turned to her
and said, ''The spirit of your mother is
present, madam, and she says that six
months ago (naming the precise date,
she tried to communicate with you by
means of the wardrobe III the Blanl
hotel, st. Louis" The woman's prac.
tical good sense did not desert her.
swell you just tell my mother" she
said, that the next time she wants tt
communicate with me not to make sucl
al awful racket i'll the dead of nigh
and frighten me half out Of my senses. ;

from saying he is a free-silver man,
fearing he would displease you demo
Gratis" He denies to the people the
right to know how candidate stands
on the most vital issue of the cam
paign, because he thinks his own
party will prefer to support man
who is afraid to say what he believes
rather than one with the courage of
his convictions. 1t is an insult to the
intelligence of Democratic voters to
insinuate that they would rather vote
for man who is for free-silver and
does not say so, than one who is for
free-silver and does say so.
The people know exactly how Mr..
Poffenberger stands.
He is an advocate of the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 10 to /

role of dodger. Unfortunate indeed
is the political nomination which
leads man to abandon his sturdy,
Independent manhood and to become
a student of the art of evasion.
