declared in 1895 that 1t would be impossi

under the gold standard. We have high

such circumstances. II Minneapolis Journal
1t is equally true that there are thou

Mr.. Blykins had been suffering
with dyspepsia and had, as is his
custom at such times, taken occa.
sion to discourse on his i'll luck and
to criticise this earth and all of it's
inhabitants whose names are cur
rently mentioned in the newspapers.
As remotely but adversely affected
individual he had strenuously OBJ
jected to the manner in which all
business, both private and public, is
conducted and had with difficulty
curbed an impulse to hold his wife
personally responsible for the whole
trouble.
II am very sorry, dear" she had
said for the nineteenth or twentieth
time, and her gentle patience at last
made an impression on him. While
the bitterness of his mood did not
abate, he began to comprehend its
unreasonableness, and as his asper-
ity abated her own forbearance be-
gan to flag.
Tim afraid, dear, she remarked,
with the exceeding unellowness of
tone which sometimes betokens sar-
casm, that there is but one way in
which you could possibly be happy.
What do you meani"
you ought to be king"
His face frightened for an instant,
and then he frowned once more.
NO." he sighed, "it wouldn't be

A Theory That They Are Jealous OF

lohn Redmond .s of the opinion that
the present Boer war is due TO the
Vaccinations Of Mr. Chamberlain
and others; but, according to the Natal
press, Mrs. Boer is largely responsible
for the bellicose attitude Of her hus-
band, She is nothing more or less
than bucolic counterpart Of Dido,
jealous OF the Englisnman, whom she
wishes for a husband for her deugh-
ter. That is the ideal OF her life, SC
seldom realized. Tor her daughters are
many, and eligible Englishmen are few
and far between Many Boer girls are
educated in the English colonies, and
return with refinement quite out OF
harmony with their rustic surround
ings. They won't marry their unkemp,
kinsmen, and the young Englishman
is a rara avis; so this in time generates
bitter hatred OF .heir more favored
sisters and Of the English race in gen
eral.
Apart from the light side of this the
ory, any one who knows the domestic
life Of the Boer can vouch for its ac-
curacy, When the passions Of the
coarsest and most ignorant Of their
number are aroused 1t is truely a
case Of "furens Quid foemina possit'-
their husbands are harmless and mild
in comparison. Mrs, Boer is even
more isolated from modern civilization
than her husband, and rarely rubr
shoulders with the "verdomde' Eng
lishman. In most cases the paterfam-
ilias and the family are completely
under her thumb. and it is not toe
much to say that the energy now dis
played by the Boer forces is in great
measure due to feminine prompings.

THE BADGE M'KINLEY WORE.

It Was Confederate" Only in Name.
 There has been so much public com-
 ment about the "Confederate badge' worn by the president during his recent visit to the south that a fac-simile of
 the genuine article will be- interesting.
 It was designed and printed by the com mittee in charge of the reception at Ma con, Ga, to dis tinguish the members of Bibb county camp of Confederate veterans, who were appointed to receive the president at the railway station and act as his escort of honor during his stay in that city. The post is one of the largest in the south and includes am 9ng it's membership a number of leading cit izens of Macon. In preparing this badge members of the committee little realized the historic interest it would excite, although they must have appre- ciated it's significance.
 Upon the arrival of President McKin- ley he was greeted by the members of this camp and presented with a neatly engrossed piece of parchment bearing an expression of their gratitude for the sentiments toward the south and the soldiers of the southern army expressed in the speech he delivered at Atlanta. At the conclusion of his brief reply Dr. Roland B. Hall, the commander of the post pinned upon the presidents coat a badge similar to that worn by him self and his comrades. The reproduc- tion here given is made from the ilen- tical badge which was worn by the pres ident during the remainder of his stay In the south, preserved as an interest ing souvenir and loaned to the Chicago Record by him for this purpose. It will be seen that the now famous "Confede- rate badge" bears at the top the portrait of a well-known Federal soldier and at the bottom quotation from one of his speeches, which has stirred the hearts of the southern people more than any words that have been uttered since his great commander said
 'Iet us have peace" e"-Washington Dispatch to the Chicago Record.
