FORAKER AND
THE PRESIDENT.
The President Assures The Senator
That He Has rlade Many Staunch
Friends.

Cleveland, O., Nov. ia special
from Washington to the Leader says:
II want to thank you with all my
heart for the splendid work which you
did for the party during the campaign.
To you, as much as any one else, is due
the magnificent victory which the Re-
publicans of our state achieved on cleo
tion day, and much of the honor belongs
to'you. appreciate deeply the result
of your efforts in behalf of the ticket,
and l repeat my thanks"
1t was President Mckinley who ut
tered these words, and Senator Fora
ker is the man to whom they were ad-
dressed. Others were present at the
time, and were impressed with the
Presidents earnestness.
The two distinguished Ohioans met
Saturday for the first time since the
beginning of the campaign, which end
ed SO satisfactorily on Tuesday. The
Senator called at the White House Sat-
urday moring to pay his respects to his
| IooluSHU, duu uO NlolOOI CNOi AOSOA'SN
a more cordial or warmer welcome.
AS soon as Mr.. Foraker was ushered in
to the Presidents Office Mr.. Mckinley
rose from his chair and greeted him in
a manner bespeaking the genuine plea
sure which he plainly felt. The Pres
ident then expressed himself in the
language quote.
When the Senator began to acknowl-
edge the compliment paid him by the
chief magistrate, the latter went on:
'Many of my friends in the State in
formed me of the effective and loyal
work which you were doing during the
campaign, and since the contest ended
have received more expressions of q
} similar character, although 1 knew
t how you had been rallying the voters
. to support the ticket. 1 realize that
, by your devotion associations and giver
g up friends.of lifetime, and it is for thi.
r sacrifice more than for anything else
, that am grateful to you, and wish t.
0 have you understand the depth Of my
gratitude. But you have made many
t new friends, thousands of them, whit
: will be as loyal to you as those you hav'
/. lost"
d The incident was an impressive on,
e for those who were present.

at is not unusual" said an umbrella
dealer. "for a person to use the same
handle on more than one umbrella,
having it shifted from wornout uin-
brella to a new one. The handle thus
shifted might be valuable one, too
costly to throw away, or it might be an
inexpensive one that just suited the
carrier. Many people are particular
about the handle of an umbrella. as to
it's size and shape. and thus want one
that just suits them if they can get it.
They may run across such an umbrella
and buy it. or they may search for it
and find it, and when the umbrella to
which it is attached wears out then
very likely they have the handle of the
new umbrella that they buy taken off
and the old handle, that they like, sub
stituted for it"-New York Sun.

BACHELORS.

A bachelor is coward, and a failure:
he shaves and primps but is too cow
ardly to put his arm around success and
press it to his bosom. Will you be
mine? You are mine. He resolves to
marry every day for forty years, but
when the hour for the duel arrives,
when in the presence of trembling rosy
cheeks, when beauty shakes her curls,
his courage all oozes and he fees the
field and dies without ever learning OF
COW path that leads to matrimony.
Better be old darky Rastus in his cabin
where he holds old Dinah's hand and
ask "who's sweet?" and Dinah drops
her head on his shoulder and says
''Bofe of us. Exchange.

A FAIRY GRAVE.

Let little grave be made,
Half in shadow, half in shade,
In a quiet, kindly place,
Friendly as her face. =,
Let the passing fairy bird
From his airy height be heard;
liver, ever for that ground
Only gentle sound.
Let the singing winds, which be
Winged dream and melody,
Singing softly, by her lie.
Softly singing, die.
Let the bee has sucked the bloom
Homeward journey by her tomb,
And his tithe of sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.
Let the low clouds, red and gold,
Mourn her on the mountains old;
Beauty, aye her guardian be,
You and melody.
Spirits of sound and souls of flowers,
All you dearest griefess powers,
You with whom she went away,
Tend her night and day.

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
Of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free

Root and its wonderful cures. Address

tain streams falling from cliff to cliff. With this inspiring environment will be enjoyed a climate of perpetual summer, cooled during the greater part of the year by refreshing trade winds. The extremes of heat and cold are 90 and 50 degrees Fah. Although there is considerable rain during the year to keep the soil moist, there is no dreary rainy season as in the West ln- dies or Philippines. The eternal sum- mer keeps vegetable life at its height the year round. Observations show that at our naval station in Pago Pago harbor the temperature will always be cooler than elsewhere in Samoa.

OUR SAMOAN ISLAND,
Best Land-lOcKed liar bor in the World.

Through his latest expansion enter prise-that resulting from the parti- tion of Samoa Uncle Sam anneXes 3S4 square miles of additional Pacific island territory, and makes 5200 more Maylay-Polynesians American sub jectS. The five islands falling to us are hardly fourth the area of the en- tire Samoan group, yet in many res poets we get very generous third.
 Tuluila, the largest of these five, now our territory, contains 20 square miles, and is, therefore, only a seventh the area of Long Island. Savall and Upolou, which fall to Germany, are each more than double its extent. Nevertheless, Tuluila is more suited to our wants than either of these. Although it is barely mentioned in popular literature on Samoa, the state department has slowed away in its files reports of several representatives who have explored it. Their accounts attest that it offers better facilities for a naval station than any island in the Pacific ocean. Pago Pago, its magniii- cent bay, ceded to us as far back as 1872, is the most completely land locked harbor in the world. It is by
 far the largest and safest in the entire group, while that of Apia, ceded to Germany, is treacherOus and ill-pro- tected against storm, as proved by the great disaster of few years ago. Pago Pago, formed by a submerged volcanic crater, extends two miles in land, and can contain our entire navy, sheltered against hurricane by per pendicular wall of rock in many places 1000 feet high. It lies in an almost direct line between San Francisco and Australia and nearly in the path of vessels plying between the Philippines and the proposed Nicaraguan or Pan anna canal. Considering this magnifi- cent location and the fact that the navy last year began preparations to utilize this bay for coaling and sup ply station, it would have been folly to have ceded it, with Tulnila, to Ger many in exchange for larger island.
 Americans in Tuluila will enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the Samoan islands. Here and there their eyes will feast upon grottos and natural fountains. At many points liquid lava irregularly cooled has formed great cayerns opening toward the sea and often communicating inland with the upper levels of the cliffs through hol- low shafts of natural formation. Waves from the sea force themselves through the shafts, and with dull roar throw columns of feathery foam high into the air. In the rear rises a steep, green background of mountains covered to their summits with mag nifcent forest trees, evergreen shrubs and tropical flowers of variegated col ors and bespangled by crystal noun

CITY OF DIAMONDS.
Kimberley. Where Most Of Our
 Sparklers Come From.

Sparklers Come From,
 The city, or rather the settlementof Kimberley, 6i7 miles by rail from Cape Town, which current developments have made the center interest in the South African war, is a city of the desert. It could never have existed except for the discovery of rich de- posits of diamonds in its vicinity in lS67. Now it has a population close upon 3O,0OO, most of whom, however, are negroes, comprising large num- Der of full-blooded natives, who are employed in the diamond mines.
 West Griqualand, on the western borders of the Orange Free State, was, ill fact. country of half-breeds until, upon tho discovery of the diamond de- posits, it was ceded to Great Britain. The Griquas, called by the Dutch speaking inhabitants ''Baastards, Fare of mixed origin, partly Dutch and partly Kafiif, or HOttentots. It was on the Colesburg kop, or hill, that the first diamond in South Africa was found In 1870 the famous diamond mines were fairly discovered, and from that time on the growth of Kimberley began and continued with a rapidity hardly surpassed by any of the West ern bloom" towns of this country. It's name, given to it in honor of the Earl Kimberley, who was then the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. is shared with it by one village in Eng land and by three towns or stations and one gold field in Australia. The Earl took his title from the old English village. and his admires passed it on to the Australian and South African settlements, through which the world mostly knows it, says the New York Tribune.
 Although not unhealthy, Kimberley has never been called pleasant place of residence by any one who has visited it. Situated in the barren, brown karoO desert, at an elevation of more than 1000 feet above the sea level, its attrac- tions lie beneath the surface. What trees are to be seen there have been planted by the settlers. It's water supply is derived from the Naal river, which gives it name to the Transvaal Republic. The town is lighted entirely by electricity, and at the present time is vigorously and successfully policed, though in the early days of it's exist ence it, like other mining towns, was the scene of constant crime and dis order

READING ALOUD.
A Practice That Is of Great Aid to
 the Memory.

suS "ASV'ct y
 The season of long evenings is at hand. During the next three months lamps will be lighted by or before 6 o'clock. and four or five hours must intervene before the average bedtime. How shall these hours be spent in the family circle? Do members of the household employ the long evenings to the best advantage in the way of getting acquainted witE each other and contributing to each others hap piness or contentment? Do parents make the most of their opportunities during long eve lings to cultivate the minds of their children, and instill into them genuine love of home? In the hurry, hustle and selfshness of present-day life, the probabilities are that a great many of them do not. Many parents proceed upon the as sumption that when they have fed and clothed their children and sent them 10 school, their obligation is pretty nearly discharged. When a child is old enough to read, they think it is old enough to amuse itself. As a consequence the home circle of q winter evening IS often rather dull and cheerless place. Each member of the family probably takes a book or paper, not to read and digest, but to skim through in a rapid rush to the end. The printed words are taken in swiftly and silently, but they make no lasting impression on the mind. This method of reading becomes habit, which leads to other things being done superticially; and the selfishness which is fostered in the silent circle around the'family center table becomes characteristic of the individuals of the household.
 There used to be a good old GUS tom of reading to the children, which should never have been permitted to fall into disuse, observes writer in the Savannah News. The father or mother would take a good book, and for an hour or two after supper read aloud from it. If the selection were intelligently made, all of the young people would be interested, and the lessons taught in the narrative would make an indelible impression upon their minds. It is unquestionably true that information received through the medium of the ear makes a more lasting impression upon the brain than information received through the medium of the eye. More es- pecially is this true when no effort has been made to correct the errors of trying to read too much and of read ing too rapidly. In reading aloud it is necessary to read carefully, and to think about what is being read, in order that proper expression may be given to the authors narrative. And this mental exercise is reproduced in the minds of the hearers, particularly if the latter are of tender years, when habits and character are being formed.
 It is not practicable in all families, of course, for the head of the house. hold to read aloud of evenings, but wherever the conditions are favor able an experiment., at least, along that line sbpuld ho ,noda The nv perimenter will be both astonished and gratified at the pleasing results
