at the time, for she told me as much. She
told me that when the Honorable Tom
that was his name-started on his second
mouse trap expedition, they had it all pref
ty well settled that they should be mar
ried two weeks later in a quiet way. He
said that he wanted to surprise his brother
and all of them at home so he would not
say word about it beforehand-just send
them cable to say she was married. And
quite believe that Mrs. Berry would have
given her consent; she liked the way the
young man had acted in taking her into his
confidence from the first. e
"Well, that second time, he came back
rather earlier than he had the night be-
fore. The mother and daughter were sit
ting up waiting for him on the verandah
He had succeeded in getting a spring
mouse trap, and with it he brought a great
hunk of cheese, saying that cheese was the
only sure bait for mice. And if that doesn't
catch EN- he said. nothing will. You
must pull down the house, or get into other
quarters. Only, don't go away from here
THAT night, when the trap had been
properly baited and set, there was great
commotion in the room next to Mrs. Ber-
rvs. Ethel described it aB a sudden loud
click, Immediately followed by sound as
IL some one had piece Of wood tied to q
string and was whipping the floor and the
walls of the next room with it. In be-
tween the raps and knocks, The two women
heard a sound like dried peas shaken in a
bag.
Then they knew what it was all about.
"And this was what showed the pecu-
liar makeup of that girl; she wouldn't have
gone into that room II mouse had been
there, but as soon as she was quite sure
it was a rattlesnake she put on her slip
pers. lighted a lamp and led the way.
'By that time the violence of the snake q
agonies had subsidized. He had stopped
whipping and threshing about. Only the
faint tremor Of his rattles kept up. You
see, he didn't care for Goldfish, but cheese,

I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove 1 safe reclined
Tn that sweet mood when pleasant
thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me
ran;
And much it grieved my heart to
think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose tufts. in that green
bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreathes;
And it's my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hoped and
played,
rheir thoughts cannot measure;
But the least motion which they made,
1t seemed thrill of pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their
fan
To catch the breezy air;
And 1 must think, do all can,
That there was pleasure there.
II this belief from heaven was sent,
If such be Natures holy plan,
Have | not reason to lament
What man has made of man?

In some countries of the world they
have long had a system of this kind.
They call it initiative and referendum,
meaning that the people shall in GER
tain emergencies have the power to in
Itiate legislation and shall have the
power to have legislation that already
exists referred to vote Of the people.
This system has worked marvelously
well where it has been tried, and we
must have a political party in our
country with sufficient devotion to free
institutions and republican government
to establish it here. 1t is not a ques-
ton to speculate about. 1t is not a
chimerical idea; it is simply a ques-
ton of self-preservation.- Altgeld.

The browning feature of Kansas
City's new fall festivities has always
been the paradcs of the Priests of
Pallas, and in this, the closing year
of the century, it is promised that all
former efforts will be improved upon,
that the pageant will be richer, bright
err and more gorgeous than ever.
There is something in the mystery
which surrounds this great, free spec
tacle which seems to adj to its inter-
est in the public mind. Based upon
the mythical idea of an annual visit
OF the goddess, Pallas Athene, all
preparations for the procession are
kept secret The subject and form of
the floats, what they will represent,
what ideas or legends they will en-
emplify are all kept profoundly hid
den from the people until they burst
upon their view, upon the brilliantly
illuminated streets, in all their daz-
cling splendor. And there never has
been year in which the highly
wrought. expectations of the public
have been disappointed by the Priests
OF Pallas. Their parades are always
magnificent.
The grand panorama Of beauty will
appear this year on the night of Tues
day, October Sd. The floats are said
to be more elaborate and to represent
in their adcrnment a larger outlay of
time, labor and money than ever be-
fore There Wv. be twenty of these
floats to dc.ngnt the countless thous-
auds who will throng the route of
Athenc's triumphal progress.
They will be resplendent with all
the gorgeousncss known to the spec:
tacular art. Clever mechanical effects
will add force to the representations,
while some 400 to 500 living characters,
in costumes rich and rare, will COM
plete the pictures
Every body remembers with delight
the realistic battleship Oregon of last
years parade. This year the Priests
of Pallas promise surprise" equally
as startling, a "hot number" which
will be at once unique and sensa-
tional.
In short, the people of al that
broad domain which looks upon Kan
sas City as its commercial headquar-
tiers may con fdently expect rare en-
tertainment in the royal pageant with
which the Priests of Pallas will re-
gale their eyes on Tuesday night of
the festival week. The parade will be
great triumphal festival procession,
rcplete with all the pomp and osten-
tation possible in a lustrously bright
and Illuminated grand spectacular
display.

Fortune.
Parisians had heard of the late
Jay Gould and his high-pilel millions
Of money, but for the past two years
they have been receiving a special OBJ
ject-lesson on the power of wealth
in new-world hands, in the effort of his
daughter, the Countess de Castellane.
to reproduce in Paris the palace of the
Grand Trianon, Us built by the French
Kings at Versailles more than two
centuries ago. Three quarters of an
acre of land was bought at the inter-
logHe and the Avenue Malakoff, at an
expense of close to million of dol
lars, this being the most costly resi-
Dental site in Paris. Public interest
has been made keen by the announce
ment that while the exterior would
hold true to the Fourteenth century
the interior was to be a blending OF

followed with such a wide interest al

building projects. In May the family

the interior decoration of the two
wings probably cannot be completed

1t became known such mansion was

but western enterprise and local in

then have cost thirty millions OF

the Count and Countess are collectors
Of rare art works and bric-a-brac, and

purchase of the old structure.-Edward

PUTS 1T VERY PLAIN.
ALTCELD'S CONDENSED PLEA
FOR FREE SILVER.
IN Two Sentences the Ex-GOvernOr Sums
Up tho whole Question Mt Issue
Tho Producer Robbed of His Prod
'ucts-The Farmer and the Trusts.

In his recent Labor day speech ex-
Eov. Altgeld said many sensible
things, but nothing more pregnant
with the truth than this:
''The battle for bimetallism is the
Battle of the producers by which they
sope to get a more equitable share Of
The products of their toll. The battle
against bimetallism is the battle of the
aon-producers to keep down the prices
II the products of the producer"
That is the whole free-coinage ques-
iion in nutshell. The great teacher
went on: by stealth and by fraud one
II the money metals Of the world was
demonetized by governmental action;
not by commerce. not by the industries
md enterprises of the world, but by the
strong arm of the government, welded
by chicane and the greed Of the world.
As the result of this act the worlds vol
nme of actual money was gradually re-
.duced by nearly one-half; and, as the
worlds volume OF money tends to de-
'termine the selling price of property,
It follows that the property OF the
world, and particularly farms and farm
products, fell in the selling price by
nearly one-half, while the debts and
fixed charges remained the same. And
even today, when we are told that the
farmer is prosperous, he is selling his
products for just about one-half what
he formerly got. This determines his
purchasing power and of necessity de-
termines his social status. BY reducing
his purchasing power to about one-half
what it formerly was, by depriving him
of his ability to buy at the factory and
at the store as he formerly did, the
great American market has been de-
stroyed to a large extent, and we are
looking abroad in foreign lands for
markets for our goods, when we would
find q greater market than we could
possibly supply right at home If we
would again restore the farmers pur-
chasing power to what it would be II
the worlds prices Of products were
Hxed BY a volume of money consisting
OF OOtQ metals, lHSledu vi uCih5 hNS'A
by a volume of money consisting OF
only one metal.
"At present the farmer has to pay
trust prices-that is, prices arbitrarily
made high by monopolies-for every
thing that he buys; but he has to sell
his products not only in the open mar"
ket of the world, but he has to sell
them on a single gold standard value,
which is only about one-half as high
AS bimetallic standard of value would
be. This great wrong having been
done to all property -owners and to all
debtors by government, must be I'M
done by government; and. inasmach
as the powerful moneyed classes of the
country are opposed to having the gov
eminent right this great wrong, we
must have political party with suffl-
.cjent moral courage and sufficient de-
yotion to the cause of justice to carry
ont this reform without the aid of the
moneyed classes"

CASIMiR-PE

Jean Casimir-Perier, ex-president OF
ment officials who did not display Bit
ter hatred of Dreyfus even to the ex-
tent Of outraging justice in order to
convict him. M. Casimir-Perier was
one of the witnesses at the first trial Of
lola. His sudden resignation of the
presidency in 1895, not long after the
beginning of the Dreyfus agitation, is
shrouded in mystery. One explanation
is that,upon receiving an autograph let
ter from Emperor William of Germany
pledging the honor CT the imperial
writer as to the innocence OF Captain
Dreyfus and Indicating the real cul-
prit, President Casimir-Perier resigned
because he would not, as an honorable
man, be party to the Dreyfus p,:,se-
cution. Another and a more recent
version of the affair is that, in Decem-
Der, 1894, Count Won Munster, the Ger
man ambassador, sent by a special
courier detailed report of the Drey-
fus case. This was intercepted and
photographed at the French trontler,
and the fact became known to the in
formation bureau at Berlin. Count
Won Munster was forthwith ordered to
demand his passports. He did so, con-
fiding the reason to President Casimir-
Perier, who was overwhelmed with
chagrin and gave his word of honor re-
pudiating all knowledge of the affair
and solemnly promising to prevent a
repetition of the offense. Count Won
Munster was satisfied and sent a re-
port OF the interview to the emperor.
This report was also intercepted and
photographed in the same way, and
JAM IL, 1895, Count Won Munster call,
ed at the Elysee and informed the
president that Germany would mobil-
lie her troops forthwith unless satis'
faction was given for the Few offense.

The newspapers which are denounc'
ing the workingmen's boycott at Cleve
land as brutal, dangerous, inhuman
etc, have no words of condemnation
for the blacklist of the employer; mol
against boycott when used by cor,
poration. The Standard Oil compan,
has used the boycott for years, forti'
fed by special legislation. Only few
weeks ago it refused to renew its con-
tract to supply Russell Sage's gas com,
pany with oil, because he had reduced
rates in competing with Standard
Oil gas company, and in order to OBJ
tain the oil needed in the manufactur,
OF gas he was compelled to restore the
old rates. But the monopolistic pa
pers were very careful not to condemn
that boycott; it favored corporation

Pet Folly of Trust Promoters.

From the Cleveland Leader: A pub
llshed statement made by one of the
promoters OF the trust which Is being
formed by the glove manufacturers OF
the United States contains a striking
illustration OF the fatuous notion upon
which the men who create such big
combinations base their hopes on great
profits 1t is another avowal of the
purpose of the trusts to get along with
one travelling salesman, when fifty
were used under the old conditions.
Imagine one salesman. representing a
complete monopoly, visiting town to
sell gloves. where ten or twenty sales
men go with the same line of mer-
chandise now. He would never be able
to escape the deadening effect OF the
consciousness that he had no competl-
ton. So the easy-going dealers who
sold gloves at retail would let their
stocks run low because they would be
under no pressure to increase them.
They would not carry stock enough to
make them care about reducing 1t. All
special efforts to stimulate business
would be made In lines showing more
life and preserving more novelties. The
natural result, of course, would be to
lessen the number Of gloves worn in
any community in a given length of
time. All along, from the manufacturer
to the consumer, there would be leth-
argy in the glove business. Then 1t
would be learned anew that competi-
tion is the life of trade.
