Did you ever hear tell OF the man
who was too economical to take his
home paper but sent his little boy to
borrow The copy taken by his neigh
Dor? In his haste the boy ran over IA
two dollar stand OF bees and in ten
seconds looked like warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father
who ran to his rescue and failing to
notice barbed wire fence ran into
that, breaking the fence down cutting
a handful OF fish bait out Of his anat-
omy and running four dollar pair OF
pants. The old COW took advantage
OF the gap in the fence, got out, ate
forty cents worth OF alfalfa and died
OF bloat. Hearing the racket the
wife ran out, upset four gallon churn
full Of cream into basket Of kittens
and drowned the whole mess. In the
hurry she dropped and broke seven
dollar set of false teeth. The baby
left alone, crawled through the flood
OF cream into the parlor running
brand-new carpet. During the eX-
citement the Oldest daughter ran
away with book agent. the dog
broke up eleven setting hens and the
calves got out and chewed the sleeves
from four fine shirts which hung on
the line.-OSborne Farmer.

nolly.s Soldier Returned.

Al Mccoy who went to the Phll1p-
pines in June '9S with the lst Colora-
do volunteers, returning home last
Friday noon, and met with warm
and hearty reception the hands %
his old friends. AL was at Manila
when the war with the PHILIPPINES
began, having arrived there on tn e
18th day of July '9s. Being with one
OF the best regiments in the service.
he Of course was continually at the
front chasing the Filipinos most OF
the time: for a considerable time,
however, he was delegated to do gar
rison duty, holding at that time
corporal's rank. This became monot-
onous for the volunteers and letter
signed by number of privates was
sent to the war department protest
ing against this idleness when they
had come to fight. They wanted to
get down to business and so notified
their government. For this letter
everyone of the signers were black
listed and AL was reduced to a private
where he remained.
AS to causes which led up to the
present war in the Philippines, the
manner in which ii is conducted, and
its prolongment, Mccoy says it is the
sentiment of over three fourths Of the
privates that it is an unjusttiable piece
OF business, from the beginning, the
whole object Of which is to stuff the
already plethoric wallets OF few
English and American tinanciers.
The volunteers enlisted in the cause
OF humanity to stay the cruel hand OF
Spain in its oppression Of the help
less Cubans and Filipinos, but when
they were compelled to turn their
guns on the very people they had hop
ed to give their freedom it did not
agree with the American spirit borne
within them, and were only too glad
to get out OF it. A few of the lst
Colorado re-enlisted at San Francisco.
and this will no doubt be heralded by
the supporters OF the war as an act Of
great patriotism and yindicating the
justice OF the conflict, but such is not
the case. The fact is that those who
would re-enlist were allowed travel
pay from Manila to San Francisco,
amounting to over 500, which in re-
ality is bounty. This money matter
alone is the reason Of their re-enlist-
ment, and no question OF patriotism.
OF course the war will now have to
be prosecuted until victory is won in
order to uphold the honor of our gov
ernment among nations, but Mccoy
thinks it will take long time. The
wary Filipinos have tactics of warfare
that Americans have not heard about
and which makes it almost impossible
to overcome and subdue them. 1t
will take an immense army to subju-
gate them and keep them in subjec.
tion.

CHICAGO, May 16-Speakers who ad-

out that trained teachers were unsuccessful

they adhered too closely to the educational

LONDON. May 16.-In spite OF showery
weather. large crowds Of people gathered in
st. James Park to-day in order to see the
carriages containing people bound for the
Queens drawing room at Buckingham Pal
ace. They began arriving before noon, and
when they were allowed to take places at
l o'clock a double line had already been
stretched from the palace to the Horse
Guards parade and another from the pal
ace. along the Buckingham Palace road. to
Victoria railroad station. The unusual
eagerness TO reach the palace was due TO
the hope of the debutantes of being received
by the Queen personally. as generally her
Majesty only receives the diplomats and the
first few Of the general company and then
turns over the duty of receiving to one of
her daughters. The Queens presence also
was the occasion for an unusually large as
semblage of the members of the diplomatic
corps. The great display of state carriages
and gorgeous ~liveries. ETC., delighted the
onlookers. Neither the Prince of Wales nor
the Duke of York attended the drawing
room, but the Duchess of York arrived
shortly before 3 o'clock in a drenching rain,
which effectually dampened the enthusiasm
of the crowds.
Inside the palace all the state apartments.
including the ballroom, were opened, owing
TO the exceptional attendance. Promptly at

held to-day the minister of the colonies, NJ.

contents of a telegram received by the Gov
ernor of Jiboutil, from Major Marchand,
saying the mission was in perfect health

The ministers decided to grant the re-
wards TO officers asked for by Major

SECRET OF YOUTH.
Professors Say They Have Learned
How to Grow Old Slowly.

CHICAGO, May ia discovery which, It
is claimed. solves the problem of circum-
venting old age, has just been made public
by Professors Joseph r. Hawley and Alex.
C. Wiener, of the Chicago Clinical School.
The return of youth, 1t is asserted, Is pro-
duced by hypodermic injections OF the lynn
phatic fluid of animals, particularly young
goats. The discovery was made a year ago,
and subsequent secret demonstrations of its
efficacy are asserted. The general theory
Of the discovery is that. If the mineral de-
posits which accumulate in the bones in the
process OF life can be replaced with the life
cells contained In the Emphatic glands OF
goats, deterioration of the bones will be pre-
vented and elasticity and youth will be re-
tanned in the system much longer.
In one of his experiments at the Clinical
school. DIR. Hawley administered hypoder-
mic injections of the fluid from the lynn
phatic glands of a goat to a dog known TO
be fourteen years old. A diagnosis of a por-
ton Of the femur before the injection showed
the bone contained large deposits OF phos-
plate. carbonate and soda The dog was
watched carefully for two months. during
which frequent injections of the lymph COM
pound were made. At the end of that time
another diagnosis showed the larger part OF
the mineral deposits had been removed. and
the animal was as lively as a puppy. A num-
experimental on in Chicago in the same way
and with the same results.
The discovery was made, IL Is stated. by
Professor b. +. Roberts. who spent thirty
years upon the theory. The specific purpose
of the discoverer was to find an animal
derivative TO correct the effects of senility.
The anatomical changes during the infusion
of the lymph compound are described as an
infltration OF tissues and an expulsion or
mineral deposits from human bones. The
apostles of the discovery do not claim that
a man or woman thus charged with goats
life cells" will live forever, but they say
life will be prolonged. perhaps doubled.

MEETING OF POPULlSTS.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 16.-The sew
enth annual meeting of the National Reform
Press Association and the national reorgan-
ization committee of the Peoples party.
with something under a hundred delegates
present, convened here to-day. AT the morn
ing session President Burkitt delivered his
annual address, which evoked considerable
applause. ITO the mistaken policy which
led to the disastrous results Of the cam
paign of 1885, said he. W may trace the
cause of all the contention ana want OF har>
mony which has existed in reform ranks
since that unfortunate hour when a majority
of our representatives consented to go out
side the party 10 find a candidate for Presi-
dent. Surely no one not a Republican at
heart will contend the campaign of 1895
should be duplicated"
President Burkitt aimed a shot at the
trusts and on expansion said: "Populisrn,
while refusing to lower the flag in the pres
ence of any enemy on earth, would strike
from the limbs of American workingmen
the shackles of Industrial slavery before they
engage to emancipate the mongrel races OF
strange and foreign lands.H
After a brief address by Ignatius DON
nelly and the appointment of the usual COM
mittees a recess was taken.
Ignatius Donnelly delivered an address in
which ne advised the Populists against
fusion and excoriated William j. Bryan and
the Democratic party for what he termed
treachery. The burden of his speech was
a plea to the Populists to keep in the middle

success Of its last engagement in Indian

able to gain aomittance to the tent at last

ever this season. There is not a dull mo-
