WHATHANNA,s ELECTION MEANS.

The expected has happened.

thoughtful people Of all political
parties fear will some day, in q
desperate attempt to take absolute
possession of the government,

States Senate, and will represent
Ohio in that body for seven years.
He pulled through on the mar

contest which will be memorable
because OF it's bitterness, and the
fact that it has divided the Repub-
lican party into two hostile AND
vindictive factions, but the victory
of Hanna means the end Of Hanna
politically, and it also poFtends
disaster to the Republican party in
Ohio, if not in the whole country.
This fact is made quite clear by
the statement given out last night
by Hon. Robert E McKisson, the
Republican Mayor of Cleveland,
and the candidate for the senator
ship, upon whom the opposition
united against Hanna. Mr.. Nc
Kisson says:
sIn the Senatorial contest just
closed, the question at issue has
been whether the true principles
of the Republican party should
prevail or whether trusts and mon
opolies should have their way.
Mr.. Hanna succeeded simply be-
cause he brought to his aid all the
powerful influences Of capitalistlc
greed, of which he is a clear rep
resentative. By reason Of the in
terests for which Mr.. Hanna stood
the Republican members OF the
General Assembly who refused to
enter the caucus felt that they

to further impress on the public

RINGGOLD's PULLEY.

Sylvia was old enough to know that
she ought to resist the fascination that
was absorbing her best thoughts. She
studied her lessons-all except arithme-
tic, which she loved-in a reluctant
sort of way and recited with far off
look in her eyes. Sometimes that look
came to hel when she was talking with
her girl friends, and she would forget
what she had said a moment before,
call people, by wrong names, return
wrong answers to questions and act al
together so strangely that some girl
would break out into laugh, saying:
''Sylvia, 1 believe you are crazy.
This had happened more than once.
and it annoyed Sylvia so much that she
had tried her best to feel interested in
fancy work, and pretty gowns and hats,
and a dozen other things about which
girls talk to each other.
She was in the habit of carrying to
school a book that was not a school
book and sometimes she shyly looked
at it when she thought no one was OBJ
serving her. One day she was discover
ed-not by the teacher, but by Mary
Bell, who thought the matter SO singu
lar that she called out at recess:

Russian BIOuses.

Russian blouses of black, green,
brown, blue or gray silks of various
weaves, plain and full across the fronts
or laid in narrow tucks at the top to
form deep pointed yoke, will be worn
next season with skirts of faille, cloth,
repped wool or some of the many novel
"fancies'' in silk and wool. To the
blouses will be added jeweled belts
whose setting of semiprecious stones
will match or contrast handsomely with
the color of the silk forming it. Many
of the new blouse models still open
down the left side, while others fasten
directly down the front and turn back
with wide, short revers that as a rule
are made of the blouse material alone
and not faced with different fabric.
Odd and pretty models are formed en-
tirely of silk braid about half an inch
wide made into shape by crossing lines
of the fat braid, forming wide open
work block or diamond patterns. These
dressy affairs are sometimes covered
with Jet nail heads and pendants. They
are made a little low in the neck and
sleeveless and are designed to slip on
over a second high necked, long sleeved
silk or satin blouse in cerise, pink, green
or some other becoming color. New

Waiting Ostriches.

One of the oldest sights on the sandy
stretches of plain in southern Africa is
party of Waiting ostriches. A recent
writer on the subject thus describes
their queer antics:
"When there are number of them,
they will start off in the morning and,
after running a few hundred yards, will
stop and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied, or
perhaps break a leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles, open
ing their wings and balancing them
selves alternately forward and backward
or to one side or the other, while the
neck is stretched on level with the
back and the head strikes the sides, now
on the right, now ON the left, while the
feathers are bristling. The bird appears
at this time so absorbed in its occupa
ton as to forget all that is going on
around him and can be approached and
caught. The male alone utters cry,
which sounds like an effort to speak
with the mouth shut tight.

Tender Hearted Children.

William and Mary lived in town and
did not know a great deal about the
fowls and animals that are SO common
in the country, but they were both very
fond of pets and would make personal
friend of every animal they met.
Their mother did not like to buy
dressed fowls in the market, preferring
to have a live turkey or chicken sent
home a week or more before killing it,
so that it might be fattened under her
own directions. This was all very well
in certain ways, for. Willie and Mary
were very fond of feeding the fowls,
but when the day of slaughter came it
was not so well, for bowls of protest
would go up from both children, until
it was found to be impossible to kill a
fowl that they had fed, and their moth
er had to abandon her lifelong practice
of buying live birds

Dogs chased him and small boys stoned
