who voted for the resolution would fan.
AS for himself he declined most emphat-
icaliy 10 be read cut of the Republican
party and was satisfied that the masses
of that party would neeyr convict him
Of political heresy or account of his ote.
Mr.. Clark thought that thew Democrats.
in view of their record, ought to have
supported the Nelson amendment pro-
viding that gold and silver coins should
be maintained at parity. He thought
that the vote he had cast was no stain
on mis- political party honor and his vote
for the Nelson amendment was cast as
a protest against silver monometailism-
He felt that his vote was in line with the
Republican policy outlined at st. Louis.
He was earnestly in favor of interna-
tionaI bimetallism and was as earnest as
any man in the chamber IN his efforts
to maintain the national honor. RE felt
that to the Republican party might be
entrusted the duty to solve the financial
question That solution would not be on
the line OF gold recommendation nor on the
line of silver recommendation. but on that

be maintained at an equal value and use
with every other dollar. That, Mr.. Clark
concluded was one of the missions OF the
Republican party and it would be per-
formed with honesty and fidelity.

THE MARINE CORPS.
It's Reputation for Fidelity M"in-
tafned iu the Civil War.


Tn the popular mind marines are syn
onvmous with sailors. AS matter of
fact they are not sailors at all, but SOL
diers serving in ships. They are part
of the naval force and under the 1uris-
Sliction of the Secretary of the Navy pu.
they are. nevertheless, a distinct organi-
zation from the navy proper. The ma
rines serve under their own ofncers, VINO
are graduates of the naval academy, ana
wear a uniform differing widely from
that of the bluejackets. In fact, the
uniform of the marine corps closely re-
sembles that of the army, consisting of
the familiar sky-blue trousers and
closely-buttoned dark blue coat with red
trimmings. The marines take the great
est pride In their personal appearance.
Each member of the guard strives to be
at all times the pink of perfection. His
clothes always appear new, with troas-
ers creased as though fresh from the
hands of a tailor; his belt is pipe-clayed
TO q dazzling whiteness, and his rifle Is
equally ready for parade or action. This
conscientious striving toward scrupuious
cleanliness has borne good fruit. When
ever this country is called upon to seno
a detachment of soldiers to compete
with foreign troops, the marines are Sc
lected, because ii is recognized that they
viii reflect credit upon the nation. AT
the last Paris Exposition the United
States was represented by a company
of marines under the command of Capt.
Henry Clay Cochrane and Lieut. Paul
St Clair Murphy. Here they came into
competition with all the crack troops OF
Europe, including many of the famous
royal guards. For neatness of appear
ance, soldierly bearing and precision of
drill. the marines bore off the palm, be-
ing unanimously voted the superiors of
all their competitors by the Paris papers
of the day. 1t caused the heart of every
visiting American to- beat with pride TO
see American troops pointed out as model
soldiers. So marked.was this superiority
that the officers in charge were decorat-
ed with crosses of the Legion of Honor.

back with stick. Up it rose and out

tail and lugged the surprised snapper

much there and the folks didn't take TO
the reptile much at first but after I had
fed it and coaxed 1t up a day or so il
grew contented and real sociable and the
folks wouldn't have sent it away for a
small farm. The snapper hadn't been
three days there before it had coaxed
an old mems brood of chickens on its
back and was giving them ride on the
goose pond greatly 10 their delight and
to the terror of the old hen, who ran
bristiing and clucking all around the
pond until the snapper brought her chicks
in at last. and delivered them safe and
sound and happy TO their angry mother.
The hen pitched into the snapper with
beak and claws, but the snapper pulled
itself into its she'll and didn't say q

UNLUCKY SATURDAY.
A Landlord Who Will Not Allow
Moving In on That Day,
rom the Lewiston IournaI.N

'sThere are lots of mysterious things about
letting tenement houses, said Col j. L. Small
81 am not superstitious, but would no more let
a house on Saturday than | would set hre 10 It.
In all the twenty thirty years i have been
letting tenements, no one ever moved into
house of mine on Saturday who didn't give me
some trouble
"It used to happen again and again. till at
last got on to the freak of fortune and stopped
it. Once man moved into one OF my houses
late on Saturday night: The next day ne died,
and had to give his family three months rent
Another time the house caught fire while fam
fly was getting into gear on Sunday after NOV
ing in on Saturday. Sometimes the family that
moves in on Saturday has scarlet fever, sometimes
the wife dies of consumption, or some other
wasting disease plays havoc among his tribe.
''The other day-not many months ago, any
way-a man came to me one Friday and wanted
to hire a house. He wanted it the worst kind.
and when he said that asked him when he in
tended to move in.
s' Tomorrow, said he.

should expect the devil to pay if you did it,

well, he wanted to know ii l cared il he
moved in few things on Saturday if he
wouldn't go in with his family till Monday.
said No. don't care but as for his sleeping
there Sunday and Saturday nights, having moved
in Saturday, l wouldn't let him.
$50 he went away, promising; and. vow, II
that fellow didn't move all his things IN on
Saturday and slept there Saturday night. And
inside OF week the factory where he worked
was burned to the ground and he lost his job
and was out of work for months. He owes me
rent now, and he's the last man who VIII ever
move into one of my houses on Saturday =
ssI suppose the underlying principle OF 1t all
is that man who will observe and keep holy the
Sabbath will not move Saturday, because ne
knows he must do some work Sunday and {
man who will never give his landlord any trouble
is the man who will not break the Lords day.

(chester Letter to New York SUM-

NOA'N-NSA
"One day, when 1 was our observing ma
ture and natures ways" said Tom Gal
loway of Warwick, whose veracious
chroniclings have won him fame and
many invitations to have something, Ell
observed a big blacksnake dart out
from the bushes and glide like a swift
shadow toward the pond, near the edge
of which l sat on log.
Now l said TO myself, that snake
is intent on showing something or other
how much smarter he is than the some
thing is or ever dared to be. ! wonder
what it can be-
Il looked ahead about thirty feet, which
seemed to be the spot for which the snake
was pointed, and then I observed some
thing else, and had to smile. 1t was a
big swapping turtle. The turtle was ly
ing on the bank, quiescent in the sun. Its
head and its tail and its legs were housed
in its shell.
wonder how so smart thing as a
blacksnake,' / said to myself, can for a
moment think of having fun with a great
big inanimate chunk ofibone like that
For that was all the snapper was,
practically, as 1t lay there entirely drawn
into itself. But 1 was there to observe
and I did. The blacksnake glided up to
the snapper, paused and looked 1t over a
few seconds, and then tapped with his
head on the snappers S shell, like you
might go up and knock at someone's door.
No knock at the door was ever answered
as suddenly as that tap of the black
snake was. The snapper was on his feet
in less than a second. Its head shot out
in front and its tail shot out behind. The
snake had jumped back and lay on the
ground a yard away looking pleased with
himself because he had been so smart.
The snapper's big neck was fair mark
for the snake, as ! couldn't help but OBJ
serve. n
'If that blacksnake ever gets his
coil around that neck of yours once
remarked to the snapper, confidentially.
you'll never return to the embrace OF
your native waters, and that neck is just
what that snake has in his eye, sure's
you're born!'
1.-The snapper didn't pay any attention
to what said, or if 1t did failed to OBJ
serve 1t, but just glared at the snake
And the snake gave the snapper glare
for glare. Then presently he dartec
forward with lightning-like movement
straight for the snappers neck. Swift
as he was, when the snake got there
there was no neck there to meet him. II
had gone back inside the snapper's smell
The neck was out again, though. before
the snake flashed by, and the Jaws or
the end of it closed on the snake like
wise. I'll never forget the look OF ago
