WHAT WOULD JESUS Dor


The Idaho Falls Times in al
editorial of some length in its las
issue asks the above question
and in answering it intimates tina
he would vote the Democratic
ticket in 1900. We don't know
so much about that. AT the
present writing it is not definitely
known who the Democrats will
put up as candidates; it is not
even known what the planks in
tn platform will be, and it may
be just possible that it may re-
ceive universal endorsement and
support; then again it may not
enjoy the confidence of the mean
est man on earth. We can only
judge what the Democratic plat
form in the future will be by
what it has been in the past, and
Judging from the past record of
the party, we are rather strongly
inclined to believe there will be
no particular rush into the Demo-
cratic ranks in 1900. But what
Christ would do were he then on
earth is an unknown quantity,
and we can only Judge of the flu
ture from his actions in the past.
When Christ came on earth,
down there in Judea things were
in a very bad way in every re-
sPect. Judea was under the hand
of Rome, and was ruled oppres-
sively by foreigners, and taxed
numerically. To be tax-gath-
erer in those days was to be a
miserable outcast, a despicable
being, hated and despised by his
race. But Christ didn't change

JUST so.
The masses of the people learned
several elementary money lessons
IN the campaign of 1896. They
learned that If the volume of mon
ey in circulation should be
doubled, prices would be doubled.
II It were only increased e-fourth
prices would rise one-fourth. That
the value of money, other things
being equal, varies inversely as to
It's Quantity, every increase of quan-
tlty lowering its value, and every
dlminutiOn raising it. That every
lncreass of the quantity of money
increases the price of commodities
and lowers the value of money, aud
that these elementary principles
are the key note to the whole cur
rency observation-disclosures Bulletin.
Just so. The masses of the
people no doubt learned that very
thing about 3 years ago and
therefore did not vote for Bryan,
nor elect Democratic congress.

BOUGHT HIS OWN COFFIN.
A Native Nan ThOu1hs He Would DIE
Soon, So He Made Prep
ApatfOns.

A strange case Of mans premonitiou
Of death has startled theinhabitantso OF
the lakewood village Of Stark, Ne.
Jefferson BlaisdelI lived alone on his
farm, a few miles from the village, and
his preparations for death made him
the laughing stock Of the community
until he was found dead in his bed.
One pleasant day in the early fall
Blaisdell appeared in the village and
drove directly to the undertaking estsb-
lishment Of Edward Hilton.
"Hullo, Ed" he shouted, entering the
store, 81 want coffin"
"All right" replied the undertaken;
who's deadP"
"Eobody's dead" replied Blaisdell.
st want it for myself, and want just
plain box, with no polish, and no new
tangled schemes"
After little parley the contract for a
coffin was drawn up, and Blaisdell left
the shop. He next went to the village
sexton.
How much do you charge for dig
ging-a gravel" he inquired of the aged
official
Five dollars in winter, three in sum-
mer," replied the latter. But who's
dead7"
"Nobody's dead: I want it for N.Y.
self" Blsisdell paid the sexton five
dollars, took a receipted bill and went
home, apparently in a happy frame Of
mind
Late in November Mr. Hilton began
to think that BlaisdelI had given up his
preparations for death, and was about
to consider his bill for storage for the
coffin, when the man with the Fremont
ton came to his store on his wood sled.
Heinspectedthe burial box, pronounced
it satisfactory and got Mr.. Hilton to
help him to put it onto the sled, which
also contained some provisions.
Then he seated himselfon the top Of
the coffin and drove homeward in a
cheerful mood.
Blaisdell placed his coffin in a con-
yenient but not conspicuous place in his
home. He lived alone, and the presence
of the casket did not seem to worry
him.
Early in January Blaisdell failed to
appear, and his neighbors, who had
joked in lively manner over his burial
preparations, began to have a creeping
fear steal over them. The house was
entered and Blaisdell was found dead
in his bed-not suicide, but the victim
Of that strange sense Of certainty Of
death which sometimes compels men to
give up the struggle for life.
