you KNOW YOU DO"

When someone's" step comes up the
walk
Your cheeks take on roster hue.
And though no other hears his knock.
You hear it well-you know you do.
When someone" talks about the grain,
And bows 10 pa yet looks al you,
You see his glances-ah, lis plain.
You give them baek-you know you do.
And though it may be very wrong,
When pa is quite ignored for you.
You sing for him your prettiest songs,
You cunning thing-you know you do.
And when he talks of other girls
OF hateful Kate and Jennie. too,
You fling at him your auburn curls.
You jealous thng-you know YOU do
You keep your eyes upon the clock,
And wish twould jump an hour or two,
So that your pa could cease his talk,
And go to bed-you know you do.
And when the folks to bed have gone,
And left someone" alone with you.
You wish the clock would stop its tongue,
Or you stop it-you know you do.
He bushes deep and looks afraid,
To be thus left alone with you:
But your eyes tell that neer was maid
That could be wooed-you know you do.
You peek at someone meath your curls,
Until with love YOU burn him through,
And make him hate all other girls
In love for you--you know you do
And when his arm steals round your
chair,
You give smothered scream or two,
As If you didn't want 1t there;
But oh, you do-you know you do
You nestle closer up To him,
Your head drops on his shoulder too;
You think it nice to have a Jim.
You naughty thing-you know you do
You lei him kiss your hlushing cheek.
Somehow your lips meet his lips. too
You tempt him, silly thing, TO speak,
You wicked thing-you know you do
And when he timidly doth press,
His wish to make a wife of you.
With happy heart YOU answer Yes.
You darling girl-you know you do

The Three Manifestoes.

~HE week has afforded opportunity
that has been generously en-
braeed for comment on the adj
dresses that We're issued by James X.
JONES. chairman Of the national demo-
cratic committee. by Senator Butler and
others, In behalf of the populists. and
by Charles r. Towne and others, i'll be-
half of the silver republicans.
The purpose had IN view in these ad-
dresses was not disguised-the aim was
to fix the attention ef silver,s friends
en- the fact that, in the presence Of next
autumns significant election, the need
for harmony Of action Is imperative. The
utteranees in the manifesto Of Chairman
Jones, touching this matter We're em-
phatic. In one paragraph he said: In
recent years there have been number
Of Instances Of congressional districts
whose advocates of gold and monopoly
were largely outaumbefed by their OPP
ponents. and nevertheless by a failure
to unite and act together friends Of the
gold standard have been successful.

II. Talbot Kelly in the Century.
He was an old man. gray bearded and
sun dried. and the look of Importance
upon his brow was repeated in the eN-
preston of refievted glory which ami
mated the countenance of his son. Each
carried an instrument called el kemen-
gah. kind of two-stringed fiddle.
Shutting his eyes and comfortably
rubbing his hands together, the old man
began. in "A harsh. strident voice. to de-
liver a panegsrie upon the song he was
going to sing. calling forth repeatedly
calculations of tAiwa" 'YeusS," and
other approving signs from the assem-
bled crowd After 10 minutes of this |

Thus as the result of a personal or par
tisan wrangle the cause of truth and
Justice has been overshadowed. the in
greatest good to the government sub
ordinated to an ignoble strife. We ap-
peal to you, let this not be the case
again. Our only danger IL in division.
If we are in earnest. we must have har-
mony among ourselves. If there should
be those who would divide us, let them
be summarily and emphatically re-
buked by the people who have none but
high and patriotic motives"
This is the language of the chairman
of the democratic national committee.
1t has its parallel in the appeal issued
by Senator Butler who speaks for those
of the populists who did what they
could. in 1896. to promote the election OF
Bryan. These words are a part of Sen
ator Buffers recent address:
There are but two sides to this mighty
conflict. All of those of whatever party
who favor the conspiracy of gold anu
monopoly, who favor individual slavery
widespread poverty and national destruc-
ton should be one side, and all of
this deadly design, who love truth and
right, who love their country. who love
their homes and firesides, and who be-
lieve in the sacred principles declared by
jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln should
be on the other side On this side we
solidiy stand.
Addressing the silver republicans, Mr..
Towne wrote In the same spirit In his
address he says:
While this issue remains unsettled, sill
Yer republicans populsts and democrats
must stand shoulder to shoulder In a
common cause. Let no private interests,
carclessness or folly afford the hope that
we shall furnish arms against ourselves.
In every state and congressional district
in the union close corporations should be
our watchword. After full consent to-
gether we should wherever there Is a
contest. choose strong champion of the
common cause and he should be given
the true allegiance and earnest support
of every opponent of the party of gold
and monopoly. The man or organization
! that in this grave crisis becomes respon-
| sible for discordant counses or divided
| energies does not deserve the blessings
we are all striving TO preserve.
! During the past week these addresses
have been the subject of much comment
| in the press. OF course, the gold-stand-
ard press condemn them, finding in the
| proposed coalition of forces a ''perverse
| determination to ruin the credit of the
4 country" This consensus in criticism is
the more remarka BILE in view of the fact
! that the single-standard press OF the
nation is constantly enforcing the prop
osition that all the enemies of silver
must stand together. They did so stand
In 1s96-the goldbug vote for the gold
democratic ticket was ridiculously small
What is more to the point the silver adj
dresses are received with favor by the
newspapers that advocate the silver
cause; the general admission is that
through union Of forces is the hope OF
victory next autumn in many congress
sional districts which otherwise must be
lost To the advocates of gold.

PRosEcuTEs DAMAGE SUITS.
New York Girl Who Makes Money an
.Accident Runner.


Miss Harriet Emerson of New York
is not lacking in Womanly sympathy,
but she freely admits that her interest
in people who are knocked down by
street ears is aroused chiefly by bust
ness reasons. She is what is known as
a runner or promoter of suits for
personal injuries She discovered that
collecting damages for injuries received
was the chief business of many law
firms and she made up her mind that
a woman who knew what was wanted
could get the proper evidence. MISS
Emerson has followed her present oe-
cupation about year. She as Well
serves papers and collects evidence
for her firm. Naturally she does not
see all the accidents that she nvesti
gates, but more come to her notice
than would be supposed. She Is paid
a percentage on the fee from each
case and some Of them net her as hign
as $50.
Her method of procedure was illus
trated one day last week when
Broadway car struck newsboy who
was crossing the street and knocked
him to the pavement, where he lay I'M
conscious his head bleeding from
cash cut by rough stone. The car
stopped and the usual crowd of curious
on-lookers gathered about the boy.
Soon the young woman, with bust
nesslike air, wearing failor-built
suit. pushed her way through the
crowd about tho prosrrate child She
promptly took care of the boy, directed
that he be removed TO neighhoring
drug store and sent 4 man to ring in
an ambulance call. While this was be-
ing accomplished she moved quickly
through the crowd. pencil and note
book in hand. securing the names OF
half a dozen persons who had witnessed
the accident. jotted down the numbers
of the conductor and grpman and
made rough little diagram of the
spot where the accident had happened
all before the car moved on its uptown
Journey. Then she hurried back TO the
boy and remained by him until his
wound had been dressed and he had
been started for hime. Undoubtedly
most of those who observed the young
woman's actions set her down as a re-
porter. The business, If it may be so
called Is followed by several men in
Chicago, but so far as known, Miss
Emerson is the only woman in this
calling.

the Hanna senatorial campaign.
The boss himself Is comfortably settled
in his senate seat. but the war in his
state lis still on and his lieutenants are
CARRYING ii into every school district.
The Hanna henchmen concluded that
it fell within the range of their duty To
drive Mayor McKisson out OF the Tip
pecanoe club, so the board of directors
of that club started the bouncing
process. with the result that the clubs
expulsion plan has become sensa-
tional by getting into court. Mayor
McKisson made up his mind that he
simply wouldn't be put out of the Tip
pecanoe club--he presented petition
seeking to restrain the club from
expeliing him and three or four of his
anti-Hanna comrades.
The board of directors made answer
last week to this petition, reciting that
the accused members upon joining the
club agreed to sustain the honor of the
organization but that they did not SO
sustain the integrity of the club by
consorting with democrats in house and
senate caucuses at Columbus" More
than that, stress is laid. in The direct
ors' answer. on the fact that Mayor
McKisson tempted other club mem
hers to betray their duty as republi-
cans"
Since loyalty first last and all the
time TO Hanna liz the Tippecanoe-club
test, really one is tempted TO conclude
that McKisson hasn't a good title 10
membership therein.

the unwarrantable talk in which 100
many men of high station in pubic
life have INDUCED. Said Senator Lodge:

slightest doubt that the affair Is the

Is to saw. a member of the senate whose
vote may be of highest significance one

statement, Senator Lodge wouldn't be

be passed upon by any country jury
vet the senate may be the jury in tins

defend the assertion that his MIND Il

~HE promise is that the house
committee on elections will re-
port favorably IA measure pro-
yiding that the term of congressman
be four years instead OF two. The
plan is in senate committee, in the
shape of a joint resolution, but there
is no hint that IL will be reported. The
motive of the author of this proposed
amendment is to give to each admins
tration a better chance for house of
representatives on which the admins
tration can rely for support. An in
coming administration usually has a
house of its political creed; experience
in recent years has been that the cleo
tons coming midway of the presiden-
tiai term reverse this majority. So that
the president is without the support of
the popular branch Of congress during
the closing half of his term. This
amendment clashes With another
amendment now before congress pro-
yiding that the presidential term be
extended TO six years. That Is TO say.
the object sought through the pro-
posed lengthening of a congressman
term 10 six years would be lost were
the presidents term made six years.
For that matter neither amendment
is likely To prevail. Fortunately it is a
slow process TO amend the federal con-
stitution: a proposed amendment must
get favorable vote of two-thirds in
each house of congress and then be
ratified by The legislatures in three
| fourths of the states.
