PICK national ana international AFFAIRS
thet are the burden Of the President.
He has given no attention to them.
Dewey would not care to take the bur-
dens of Alling thousands OF offices. He
would know NO politics in making APP
polntmcnts, and the Democratic party
would be Disrupted inside Of a years
time. For what is the Democracy, ai-
ter all, but the Offices?
Imagine Dewey giving up the love OF
ALL the people. TO be antagonized by
one-half of them. Imagine Admiral
Dewey in the attitude of being ungrate-
full to the President, whose personal
friend he Is. The admIFaFs life has been
spent on the sea. He is a sailor, aud
having almost reached the age of re-
fremont. would prefer to spend the
remainder of his life in peace and quiet.
Why burden him with the greatest re-
sponsibllIties that an American citizen
can have imposed upon.
The rank demagogy Of the World is
disgusting. The World has published
daily what many other people believe
about this matter, but 1t has never said
single word about what Dewey
thinks of 1t himself.
Why does not the World quote what
the chief factor thinks about giving up
his rare honors TO became o political
candidate? The World is Dewey's worst
enemy, because 1t is placing him in an
embarrassing position before the cOun-
try.

CHASED BY A TORNADO.
Ensiue outruns the Wind in Wild

The time was May 80, 1879. between 6

ourl Central, between Lees Summit
and Greenwood.
1 was fireman and "oulet Jack" was
engineer. We called him Quiet Jack"
because he never spoke unless 1t was
necessary In the line of duty He was
sober, careful and brave, ana was
reckoned as one OF the safest men on
the road.
On this particular day he was running
special passenger train with a good
engine and three passenger cars, all
full. We had stopped at Lees Summit
for supper, and moved out about five
minutes before 6 o'clock. Some rain ana
hail was falling at the time but II soon
ceased, We were on n down grade and
were pulling around ut a rapid rate, UNI

passed DR., Dunnlug'G house, and the
Elm Tree crossing. | saw Jack pull the
sand lever. Then he opened the steam
pipe, turning the steam into the smoke
stack, thus creating n fierce draft
glow like the sun at MONDAY, and the
coal melted away like snow shoVeled
Into a river Jack then pulled the throt-
tie wide open, and the engine sprang
forward like hound let loose In sight
of a deer.

Indiana Dem ocrats Divided.

The other day when congressional
district somewhere out west went DEM
ocratlc, the Register saw In it ma
tlonal triumph next year. on Tues
day the capital city of Indiana. H.
dlanapolls, had an election, and there
was a large reduction of the Democrat
&c vote. and there were no signs of a
drift toward Democracy. The Demo-
Gratis carried the last two mayoralty
elections in that city, occurring in 1885
and 1897. by large majorities. In 1857
their majority was SS1s, and to have
cut this down to 200 or 800 this yea.
shows a decided reaction.
The Philadelphia Press says this cleo
ton is not the only sign of Democratic
dIsaffectiou in Indiana. Mr.. D. F. a.
len, who is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in the
Ninth district, asserts that he win mot
run on any fool anti-expansion plat
form" Judge Powers. of Angola, and
ex-Lieutenant Governor Mortimer also
declare themselves as favorable to the
administrations policy in the Philip
pines.
These things Indicate clearly divl'
sion in the Democratic party of Indiana
on the expansion question, just as
there is in every other state.
The election in indianapolis was un-
doubtedly seized upon by many Demo-
Gratis to express by their votes their
dissatisfaction with the unpatriotic at
tItude in which Mr.. Bryan and some
Democratic leaders have placed their
party.

REFLECTIONS OF A BAoHE LoR

A man blushes for woman a lot Of
tener than she bushes at him.
When . woman has nothing else to
wish for she begins to wish that her
husband was different.
A woman never can resist man who
cOnvlnceS her that he doesn't know how
to fiatter her and then does.
After a woman has been keeping
house two years the only room that
looks like she thought her bedroom
would look like after she got married is
the spare bedroom.

when Grandma Come to Ca Honse

When grandma comes to our house
I'm always awful glad.
Because she always takes my part
When I've done something bad
She asks my papa please to not
Begin and punish me,
And then she shames him when she says
How bad he used to be.
When was slldln' Yesterday
And tore nv trousers so
She said: Now, James, don't whip him,
for
You did those things, you know"
And then he sneaked away upstalra,
And grandma looked at me
And said I'm Just the kind OF boy
Ny papa used TO be.
And, one day, when RUINED away
And stayed tn nearly night.
And then come home without my hat
And was an awful sight,
My papa steFmed and Tn afraid
That he'd "a punished me
II grandma hadn't told him then
How bad he used to be.
I'm awful glad when grandma comes,
] wish she'd always stay.
Cause that's the time that don't git
A lickin every day,
And there's a look In papa's face
Thhts very nice TO see
Wren grandma says I'm Just the kind
OF boy he used TO be. 49,,
