After Reubens

Quite busy at work with his brushes,
The artist was startled to hear
The shouts of two farmers afield,
With bull charging close In the rear.
Perhaps he was slightly Indifferent,
Or trifle cold-blooded may be.
For with true artists instinct he Euttered.
IA bull after Reubens / see.'

APPROPRIATE AND OPPORTUNE

SENATOR PETTIGREW DECLARES A REVIVAL.
APPROPRIATE AND OPPORTUNE
1t seems to me appropriate and opportune that
there should be at this time revival in minds Of
our people of the memory Of George Washington.
Especially would it be appropriate and important IT,
by such revival our people should gain a knowledge
of the institutions of this country would accord
with his understanding and his teachings In the
century just gathered into the past have drifted
far from the institutions and theories government
laid down by the Of his time. and today the re-
public created by the genius of Washington is rap
idly becoming, if it has not already become putoc-
racy of artificial persons
We have abandoned the means of transportation,
the means of distributing information, and the con-
troll of money-the very life blood of commerce-to
private greed. The founders of this republic held
that, as at leasttwo of these natural monopo-
lies they should be controlled by the government,
and those conscientious builders therefore wisely re-
served all the lakes and rivers public highways,
and began the construction of wagon roads and
canals, the only of communication then being
wisdom to coming generations the government re-
served to itself the right to coin and issue money
If the government should again these
functions essential to fair distribution of wealth.
result of revival of public interest in the teach
ings of Washington, and if such reformation should
begin with the Washingtonian anniversary of 1898
it would truly mark era in the history of the
public. Yours truly. r. F. PETTIGREW.

CONGRESSMAN DOCKERY WOULD INDUCE OUR
YOUTH TO EMULATE HIS PA
TRIOTIC EXAMPLE
We living at time when two dominant pas
sions actuate and control people. The
presses itself in desire for public position and the
other seeks to accumulate money. Both laudable
ambitions when restrained by proper limitations We
should however avoid emphasizing too strongly the
commercial spirit The United States should not de-
generate into nation of shop keepers
Washngton's birthday should therefore be cele-
brated with imposing ceremonies to aid in keeping
alive the altar fires of patriotism and to induce the
youth of the country to emulate his patriotic
ample. He and his immortal compeers established
our government upon the fundamental propositions
of equality before the law and the sovereignty Of
the people. His memory should be perpetuated for
all coming time simply by stately marble shafts,
but by exemplifcaton in national life of the
great doctrines to which he dedicated Ibis life his
fortune and his sacred honor"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MISREPRESENTATION
AN EXCELLENT TIME TO REMIND THE YOUTH
OF WASHINGTON'S CHARACTER

AN EXCELLENT TIME TO REMIND THE YOUTH
OF WASHINGTON'S CHARACTER
The ilustrious founders of the American republic
should always live in the memory of their descend
ants not merely memory, but VITAL ener-
getic influence for the perpetuatlon of free institu
tions The great self-denial and personal sacrifice
the stubborn perslstency and invncible faith, the
mighty deeds and brilliant achievements of the Revo
luton, should be forgotten allowed to lapse
into tradition.
I believe that the spirit of patriotism and loyalty
to humanity, which inspired the fathers in their
struggle for liberty, still animaes the people of this
nation, and that there is sympathetic sentiment
and feeling these subjects which pervades the
tire community and renders this country unconquer-
able The contract written in blood from the battle
of Lexington to the surrender at Yorktown, that
shall transmit in their integrity, to children, the
principles transmitted to us, must be kept nvioate
1t is our duty and privilege, therefore. to review
ourselves and to point out to children the deeds
which led to the birth of this republic and to
fully study the principles which underlie gov
ernment l know of fitting occasion for
life is inseparaby associated with this period of
history His lofty ideals, his and n1exible
virtue, his forttude and loyalty to principle and
lively faith in his amidst defeat and disaster
created strength from weakness, overcame obstacles
apparently nsurmountable, infused new vigor into
the and hearts of his countrymen and led them
to triumphant success
These may be trite observations, but they cannot
be too firmly impressed, if desire maintain in
their purity the wholesome principles bequeathed
U.S. and which are essential to the maintenance of
our government The voice of faction, of personal
interest of class of socalled reform based upon Wis
ionary schemes, must not be allowed to enter our
councils and overturn the republic

MATRIMONIAL SHARKS.
A Woman Who Mnrricd "a Count Tells
All About Their Schemes.

Chicago Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Countess Loveau de Chavannes, who
was beautiful Ouirda BeiSon, of Brooklyn,
before she married a French title, has writ
ten a book against the marriage OF Amerl-
can girls to titled Frenchmen. 1t makes
surprising disclosures of how impoverished
nobility schemes to marry American wealth.
when new Americans arrive in Paris,
writes the countess, their names, places
of address on this side and their Partisan
addresses are at once published in the
American Register newspaper which
has large local circulation. These names
and particulars are easily obtained at the
banking houses, where newcomers gener-
ally report themselves at once. and are in
valuable to the class of people who make
a speciality of being attentive for consid-
Grafton to wealthy and socially AMBITIOUS
strangers.
''There are crowds of impoverished scions
of noble families who are only too willing
to barter position for wealth and he is
obliged TO sign a regular contract specify
ing exactly how much of his prospective
wifes fortune he will pay to the aristo-
cratic matchmaker in the event of his mar
riage to her American friend. Sometimes,
where there is dowry the amount is paid
down. and again 1t IS paid so much by the
month, so that there are many American
girls who quite uncOnsciously, have paid
for their husbands on the inStallment plan.

to be that when l left France for America

BOSTON, Dec. 7-The American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool
trade: The sales of the last week indicate that
the volume of business in progress is fully up to
the average of this market in normal periods An
encourag ging feature this business is that 1t is
not made up of a few large purchases by the
prominent mills. The buying has become more
general and the smaller markets have been more
of a factor and the business of the week has been
more evenly distributed. This being the closing
month of the year, when manufacturers and
others will be busily occupied in taking account
of stock and the adjustment of demands in
cidental to the season, the volume Of business In
progress ia fully up TO expectations II the heavy
weight season starts in well a greater demand
for wool is looked for which 1t is expected VIII
at least keen the market steady at current prices
The sales of the week in Boston amount to
2s06 900 lbs domestic and 731 900 foreign, making
a total of 1851 00O against total OF SS49 900 for
the previous week and total of 2,660, 900 for the
corresponding week last year. Sales since Jan. l,

NEW YORK Dec. 7.--Trading in dry goods has
been fairly active so far this week. Not a small
part OF jobbing store operations are those in
Christmas goods, the demand for which has
shown good results. General departments in job
bing houses are without feature. There are not
many heavy buyers in the city. At first
hands the markets for both cottons and woolens
have shown good results. In the former the de-
mand for export goods has shown continued good
results and in bleached cottons stocks have been
reduced rapidly and almost completely. The new
prices have stopped heavy trading just at present,
but sellers say that there are many jobbers yet
to be supplied and that these will have to pay
advanced rates for new goods Other lines OF
Print cloths have been quiet for the last two

the trustees, and all bids for cloths for late
future deliveries have been refused. Regular

Smallest Man in the senate.

Senator Simon. of oregon, is the smallest
man in the Senate. AS he stood in the mar
ble room yesterday, surrounded by a group
of enthusiastic Oregonians. the crowd tow
cred around him until he looked like a ha-
zel-nut at the bottom of a quart measure
His diminutive size is all The more remark
able when ii is remembered that the states
men who have represented Oregon in the
past have all been of large stature Senator
Dolph was over six feet tal, ex-senator
Mitchell is we'll built and Congressman Ellis
is as tail and straight pine.
When he a year old Senator Simon
took an ocean voyage. He Travelled with his
father and mother from Germany to the
United States. and reached Oregon when he
was child of six years. Figurativeiy, but
not literally. he has grown up with the
West: but that his brain is very large in
proportion TO his body is shown by the high
position ne has achieved a lawyer and
the prominent part he plays a political
leader He has been very active Repub-
lican. having been delegate 10 the national
convention which renominated Harrison at
Minneapolis. He was the national commit
teeman for his State. and has served as
chairman of his state committee Having
been elected senator, his cup of ambition is
full, for he can never be President OF the
