From Truth.

Women seldom say what they mean when
they say they mean just what they say.
A bad mother is the worst woman on
earth.
1t is only the exception when a woman S
heart broadens with her intellect.
Is it that woman needs Der religion more
than man does his, that it is so much N re
to her than t is to him?
1t isn't always the best woman in the
world that won't quarrel with her dress
maker.
A woman never knows what she really
thinks of a man until she has married him
There is something defective about the
makeup of a woman who viii snub a baby.
Nothing short of Omnipotence can handle
q fool woman.
We need women of sense-but not too
much sense.

1t was not an infrequent occurrence
for one of the boys in blue drawing

occasionally, warmer message from
the girl in the mill or the factory to
the unknown boy at the front whose

So it happened to young captain of
a Wisconsin infantry company in 1888,
who found. in the sleeve of a blouse

one Of the books one used to like when

is especially significant in western
gains. The president is a western
man. He represents the vigor, the full
ness of life, the enterprise and pro-
gressiveness of the younger growth of
states as set over against the effete
elder commonwealths of the east. In
time when his administration was
put on trial there is rare qualification
in the reflection that its heartiest and
most unqualified Endorsement cones
from the section of which he is part,
and which best knows and appreciates
what he is and what he represents.
Not the least significant feature of
this rally round the flag and the ad-
ministration at Washington in this "off
year" is the ratification of the war
policy and the direct expression of
confidence in the peace negotiations
that follow. The people are satisfied
with the war and it's results. They
approve the plans of settlement as out
lined. That is why they have so en-
phatically reversed the rule and made
this "off year" one of victory for the
party in control. The people are for
sound money and against deprecated
currency. That is why they have voted
TO sustain honest finance; to ring down
the curtain on the free silver farce, and
have Kissed Bryan and his fellow
clowns from the stage.
And it is well. Already has business,
that sensitive barometer of commercial
storms and Industrial sunshine, given
evidence of the confidence capital has
IN settled and safe administration of
national affairs. Uneasy until the re-
suit was assured, timid and hesitating
while doubt remained, trade has seized
upon assurance of continued integrity
and taken firm advance. The indus
tries will follow in natural sequence,
and as capital comes more actively into
the open labor will take on healthful,
sympathetic impulse.
1t is an era of general graduation
for patriotism, principle and progress
sion. For fiatism, fanaticisIn, popu-
lism it is the beginning of the end, the
depression that presages death and
eternal dissolution.ICincin Com

a result Of which Guard Charles ID. Lau-
terbach, of Mount Vernon. was shot
and killed, while Convicts O'Neil and

returned to The hoe shop, where the
other man joined him, and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauierbach, who was in
charge of that department.

may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop
where the shooting occurred took no
part in the affair, but il is understood
that they stood ready to follow If the
efforts of the two leaders proved enc
cessful. Previous to making the out
break one of the two prisoners forced
Il third man to place n ladder against
the outside of the penitentiary wall, so
that when they had fought their way
out of the shops they could shoot down
the wall guard and make their escape
by that route.

nation and government in the fate OF the

opinion that 1t is hopeless to expect TO res

Should the department determine TO at

recommend that the expedition be based
on Cat island, not from ships out side the

on the wreck. In addition to the turret

IMPORTANT TOPICS.

cussinG Reciprocity nnd Fish
erIes-yrhc situation.

Washington, Nov. 1s. - The Anglo
American commission now In session
here to adjust differences between the
United States and Canada, held
lengtay session Thursday upon the Two
subjects which are regarded as OF most
importance, namely, the North ATTAIN
tic fisheries and reciprocity. Concern
ing reciprocity, IL has now developed
that while some progress Is being made
in considering certain articles which
will be the basis of reciprocity, yet the
American commissioners are likely to
insist, as preliminary to any 'reci-
proeity, that Canada shall wipe out that
feature of her tariff law which gives
Great Britain preference of 25 per
cent. on all tariff duties. If this inn
portant concession is made by Canada
and conceded by Lord Iierschell, who is
looking after the interests of Great
Britain, then ii is said that reciprocity
list vii, probably be agreed upon.
Without the abolition of preferential
rates 10 Great Britain the opinion is
very positively expressed that n reel
procity agreement cannot be reached.
The fisheries question Is OF long
standing, and aside from its Importance
to the commerce of the New England
and Canadian coast, it is said TO give the
basis for possible serious conflict be-
tween this country and Great Britain.

versy. Canada of late has intimated

surrender theirs. The memorandum
points out that deadlock exists, which,
might be broken by arbitration on the
contending views, to which the Spanish
commissioners are quite ready to sub
nit. The latter declare that they have
no idea of suggesting arbitration as to
the main issue, which touches the ma
tional honor of both sides, but they are
willing to accept exterior aid to clear
the path of negotiation. 1t is safe to
say that the American commissioners
will not consent to invoke exterior aid
to construe the terms of their own pro-

spanish Commissioners Present
Long Document In Answer to the
American Argument.

Paris, Nov. II. - The meeting
Wednesday of the Spanish-American
commissions began at 2:15 p. m. and
ended at three p. m.
The Spanish commissioners present
ed a long document in answer to the
American argument which was sub
mitted last week. BY mutual consent
the memorandum was handed to the
Americans without being read and the
meeting adjourned to Saturday next.
The Spanish communication will be
translated and its contents will be dis
cussed by the American commissioners
Thursday at their usual daily session.
The Spaniards, in their commuricn-
ton, reaflirmed the position which they
have assumed against the discussion
here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty.
They insist that the words ''shall de-
terminc the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines" in arti-
Gle of the peace protocol, do not war
rant any reference to Spain's withdraw
al from the Philippines except on her
own terms, and therefore the Spaniards
propose arbitration on the construction
to be placed on the words "thc control,
disposition and government"
In signifying their willingness to
submit the Philippine article of the pro-
tocol to third party for construction.
the Spanish commissioners urged that,
as there is obviously difference of
opinion regarding the phrase "the con-
troll disposition and government of the
Philippines, possibly the result of a
misunderstanding, the Spaniards
should no more be asked to surrender
