POLITICAL CONVERSIONS.

Don't get Overheated in political
argument with a neighbor. It creates
bad blood. Your personality arouses
his combativeness, his egotism and the
bull dog in the man.
Question him as physician would a
patient, from his answers diagnoze his
peculiar political malady, look our
book list over carefully and you will
find the proper remedy. Give it to him
with little taffy about his good stand
ing as citizen, his patriotism and his
reputation for good sense and sound
Judgment. He will chew on it. He will
swallow some of it. He can't get
the book mad or provoke a
fight. He will sit up to burn midnight
oil and take his medicine. He will
sleep on it and in the morning he will
wake up and wonder if he has really
been born again. He will realize for
the first time the dense ignorance of
his old party neighbors on economic
questions. He will feel deep shame
that he has never before read any eco
Monies outside of his old party news
paper. He will hunt for the fool kick
er and in short time he will ask you
where you got that book and if you
have any others equally good. He be-
comes a student Of political economy
and thereafter is as much disguised as
you are whenever he meets an old party
egotist who knows it all but never
reads anything but his old party news
paper.
Before he reads his first little book
nothing will make him mad SO quick
as to insinuate that he has not read
extensively upon economic questions.
After conversion he will confess to you
that he was too busy to read, trusted
politics to the politicians and that polit-
ically he was = old fool

MIR. DONNELLY'S FIANCEE.

The editor in chief of the Representa-
tive is just at present being given great
credit for good taste and good sense in
the selection of his second wife. The
Chicago Evening Post says:
A very fetching portrait of Miss Hansen,
who is to wed Mr.. Donnelly, has come
der our inspection, and we hasten to con-
graduate lgnattuS on his taste. If not on
his judgment Miss Hansen has spent her
short life in work and study, and the
suits Of such occupation shine out in her
lovely face. Contrast her beautiful, express
sive features with the vapid countenanca
of the society darling who poses as tho
eXpositor of Il black satin evening gown,
and then cease to wonder that men whose
knowledge of women is confined to the
social elect are disinclined to marry. Miss
Hansen's eyes speak world Of tenderness,
of love, of the shining qualities of soul that
lie within their depths. We understand
now why Mr.. Donnelly was enthralled, en-
chanteds subjueated Perhaps when he
gazed into those orbs he was reminded
forcibly of the stirring words of Lord
Bacon. found in the charming comedy
Loves Labor Lost"
From women's eyes this doctrine I derive;
They sparkle still the right Promethean
fire;
They are books, the arts, the academies,
world
The Chicago Times Herald, of Jan. 8,
published a most excellent line drawing
portrait of Miss Hanson and says:
Miss Olive Hansen, the pretty steno-
grapher who is to marry Ignatius Donnelly,
Is only q years old, and has not had a
very easy time in the struggle for life.
She is a Norwegian by birth and blood and
her family at one time occupied a high
position in their native country. Reverses
in business, however, overlook them and
they lost their entire fortune through bad
judgment, chiefly in the Endorsement of
notes for other people.
On coming to America the young
daughter was educated for a business life
and secured work as a stenogra pher in a
law office Her earnings were very light
and she never was successful until she
secured her present position with Mr. Don
nelly. as stenographer in the office of his
paper. Working daily side by side the
beautiful Norwegian and the great cryto-
gramist soon grew to be very fond of each
other.
Miss Hansen was fascinated by the
books of Mr. Donnelly. and the latter be-
gan to feel that he couldn't get along with
out his fair stenographer. Miss Hansen
says she knew that Mr.. Donnely was in
love with her before he knew it himself
and she was not at all surprised when he
proposed to her. She is fond of travel and
she looks forward to her wedding tour with
much eager anticipation.
With womans curiosity Miss Hansen
seems, of course, to take lively interest
in all that is being said, while her good
sense has prevented all this praise and
publicity from in any way turning her
head. F. A. IT

Cheap Goods.

If the rgain-hunting women who
ter and chuckle over the cheapness Of
everything, only knew the reason why
goods are so cheap; If they could see
the tear-marks on the laces made by
weary, sad-eyed women who weave and
weep and weep and weave for fourteen
hours a day; If they could see the con-
fingers made the fancy articles that look
so gay in the store windows; II these
thoughtless women were not morally
blind and deaf and dumb and insensibs,
they would realize, with a shock and
shudder of horror, that many a store is
but an idividual charnel-house-
ing Nation.

Letter From Il WOrlxinEman.
Men are out of work-are poor be-

words we are so poor because we are so
rich.
Such is the explanation of hard times
given by the orthodox school of eco
nomics.
The fact that the masses of the peO-

money equivalent for it-that the great
err portion of all that which labor pro
duces goes to the exploiter of labor
this vital fact, the elect Of earth and
heaven get around by shutting their
eyes to 1t.
But the modern Pharisee offers us a
remedy-here is it: All that is needed
is protection" Increase the profits of
the mOnOpOlist-take from the poor
wretch the fear of want and he will
not himself workout allow the free
sovereign American voter to work and
live
The poor devil is likely TO starve if
the law does not compel the heartless
workingman to buy with so per cent OF
the value Of his toll, received as
wages the entire 100 per cent he pro-
duces.
But this remedy does not exhaust the
wisdom and versatility of the orthodox
We must encourage foreign capital
and restrict immigration. If we viii!
only do this and cease our wild talk
about the rights of man and the sane
tity of human life, the gracious and
benevolent nobility of Europe will come
over, allow us to manufacture ma
water and do all other drudgery neces-
sary to support the pomp and state and
luxury Of our foreign masters. We
must suppress American history, forget
