So notorious is this fact that
all the gags and comic songs in
the theater are eulogistic of
Bryan and anything but COM
plimentary to the president.
And this rule prevails as well in
the cheap vaudeville theaters,
where the majority of the re-
publican office seekers who, on
account of their reduced finan-
cial condition. are now forced
to seek such entertainment, as
it does in the theaters patron
lied by the elite of Washington.
The republican disappointed
office seeker attends these
cheap shows where he can
drown sorrow by smoking che
roots and cigarettes, cursing
Mckinley and cheering Bryan.
Oh. how harmonious the re-
publican party is on the money
question! and how this harmo-
ny will grow as the Gage rem
edy" is sought to be enacted
into legislation.
The lease system for town
sites is regarded with less favor
every day now. The drift al
the present is toward a survey
ing and appraising of the town
lots and letting the occupant
pay into the sub-treasury sc
per cent of the appraised value
to the credit of the Indian tribe
and then let matters rest in
statu quo until the Indian gov.

lGy ClaC was SO lOuuly dpplduu-
ed by the republicans is fast
disappearing under the benign
influence of the Mckinley ad-
ministration. No evidence of
prosperity is to be found here
now, but on the contrary much
dissatisfaction prevails and the
administration is severely con-
demned.
The prosperity which was
proclaimed throughout the land
in the way of the opening up
of manufacturing businesses
that had been closed down, the
increase in wages in a few in
stances have much more than
been counterbalanced by shut
downs, reductions in wages and
the number of men employed;
and this in the face of an in
creasiDg gold reserve and the
probable inauguration of a re-
publican financial policy.
Only a small percentage of
repu Jlicans believe in the gold
standard, a few others think
that in preferring the gold
standard to free coinage they
have chosen the lesser of two
evils, but the majority of the
party are bi-metallists at heart,
and supported the republican
candidate in 1896 in preference
to the democratic candidates
because, as they construed it.

metallism but endorsed differ

popular hosiery. He is an old-tme darky
with none of the noW-fangled notions that
conspire to spoil the young negro, and
he served his master and loved him with
a zeal which was astonishing to those who
did not understand the relations sometimes
existing between master and man in tho
south. The Old man was active, oblglng
and intelligent. and this latter quality, even
in his gray years. led him to seek wider

that he and Major Spencer will make adj

We did not lnger long among them.
We were then shown the process OF cool
ing the milk before it is put in cans ard
brought to town. 1t Is passed through
what Is called a cooler. 1t passes from
large vessel through the cooler, which
as near as | describe 1t looks like an
, old-fashoned washboard. only the flutes
are wider and of course, Is made of metal;
the milk goes into the inner flutes and
spreads over a surface large enough to
make 1t very thin and these inner ones
are surrounded by those containing the
water, which is brought up by hose pipes.
The milk is cooled before being put into
fve-gallon canS-thiS is done to remove all
animal heat, and ! was told that if it
was in the least neglected it was easily
discerned the opening Of the can when
1t arrives at the dairy in the city.
This very delicate work was all done by
a very pretty young lady, who reminded mo
of Maud NIuller-with her golden hair,
bright blue eyes and fair white skin, and
as | first saw her among the ten Jerseys
that she mills and has entire charge of,
1t formed pretty picture with a handsome
setting.
The milking over the milk is (after going
through the cooling process put IL five
gallon cans and sent to the CITY dairy,
where each can is placed in separate
tank of cold water to await the morning $
delivery. The wagons start out Win inns
milk at 3 O'Clock a. M, when at about the
same time the milking begins on the farm,
and by 7 o'clock the tanks await the
mornings milking, which remains in the
cold water until 70 o'clock, when the after
noon delivery commences
The sinking sun reminded me shat a
very delightful afternoon was drawing to
close. and we must bid adien to the
Jerseys and the green pastures and come
once more to the busy marts of trade-but
nothing could cause us to forget what we
had seen and learned, and | came back
much wiser than when | went. and with
