THE FIREMAN's LIFE.
Mirror, But He's Not = Bit Dis
turbed by That.

"Of course every thing about the fire
department interests us always" said
Mr. Glimby, in the New York Sun. but
there is one little thing in particular
that I've seen 1 suppose hundreds of
times that appeals to me more every
time l see it, and that is the firemen
getting into their coats as they go
along. You see this among the men on
trucks and on hose wagons; the men on
the engine have to use their hands to
hold on.
ITS simple enough thing in gen.
eral to see man putting on his coat
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before a mirror, but he's jumped
out of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down sliding pole, and is
completing his dressing sitting on top
of rack Of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by three great
horses, at one end, with man down at
the other end steering this outfit with
a wheel. This sight never loses its nov.
city or it's interest. You may see the
same thing on hose wagon.
'But what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing a man on fire
patrol wagon, sitting on one Of theil
long seats, facing outward, pulling uI
the tops of his high boots. Red wagon
galloping horses, banging gong, men
in fire hats and rubber coats-the whole
blooming outfit on the dead jump and
this man sitting on the side seat reach
ing down for the tops of those boots
and Strengthening up with each one al
he got it and swaying back little as
he pulled it up into place, just as a man
would sit on the edge of his bed at home
to put on his stockings and slippers, anG
just as cool and comfortable"

PARAGRAPHS FOR CYCLISTS.

Motor tricycles are now on the
market. The price is $3.50.
The Japanese are, as race, SO small
that it is necessary to build specially
low bicycles for them.
Reversing the chain will cause it to
run easier and wear more evenly, but
it will not prolong its usefulness to any
great extent.
Anew chain is said to have the blocks
made of steel side plates with rawhide
between them in order to make it run
noislessly.
A well-known Italian playwright has
undertaken, for a wager, to write q
cycling comedy in four acts in 80
hours. This is probably the latest
thing in cycling contests.

FACTS ABOUT THE LADRoNEs

The Ladrones are northeast of the
Caroline islands and directly east of
the Philippines, not over days jour
ney from either.
Although small and apparently in
consequential, for few people have
ever heard of the Ladrones until now,
They were discovered by Magellan in
1921.
A nut which can be eaten shell and
all is one of the islands queer prod
ucts. The shell is brittle like cracker,
sweet and good. The inside has ker
mel which can only be bit ten when the
fruit is fresh.
There are IA Of the Ladrone islands,
but the principal ones are Agrigan,
Saipan, Tinian, Rota and Guam The
others are not regularly inhabited, be-
ing used for special purposes such as
farming by the inha abitants of the La
drones.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes color in the at
mosphere. Cold days it is black, hot
days it is bright red, when rain
threatens it is pinkish and in cloudy
weather it is blue. This stone lies on
the highways and the pedestrian can
forecast the weather.
The queer things in the Ladrones in
clude tree, the fruit of which is so
obnoxious to the nostrils that n man
cannot keep his stomach and smell
it. But once past the nose it is so de-
licious that he will eat until too full
frI1i n
month and is plentiful.
For long time these islands were
regarded as too volcanic to be habit
able by civilized people. They are
thickly studded with volcanoes, which
arc situated in a large mountain range
which runs through all the islands,
Along the shore there is rich, fertile
soil in which all things can be grown.
Queen Maria Anne of Austria, widow
of Philip w., king of Spain, rec eived a
present from them of a quantity OF
large, rich bread fruit which so pleased
her that she requested that the islands
be named after her. Accordingly in
1868 the Ladrone islands were renamed
Mariana, after the queen of Spain, and
such has been their legal name ever
since, although they are still popular
ly called the Ladrones.
The Caroline people and the Ladrone
people have been intermarried until
the two sets of islands are close kin.
The Ladrones are dark-colored, rather
small, and very shapely. with straight
hair, and, often, blue eyes. The Caro-
lineans are very tall, copper-colored.
curly-haired and black-eyed. The
blending of these two races has made
generation of young people of al
most a saffron tint, with wavy hair and
eyes of brown, hazel and blue; rather
pretty young people, you would say.

REMEDY FOR CATTLE CH0KED.

Take of fine cut chewing tobae- co enough to make a ball the size of hens egg. Dampen it with molasses so it adhercs closely : elevate the animals head, pull out the tongue, and crowd the ball as far down the throat as possible. In fifteen minutes it will cause sick ness and vomiting, relaxing the muscles. Potatoes or whatever may be choking it will be thrown up It Is an almost absolute cers tainty that the tobacco will cause the relaxing of the muscles and consequent throwing up of con tents of the stomach, and q cure is just as certain as relaxation. The laying of moistened tobacco upon a persons stomach with lock jaw relaxed them and saved the patient. It must not be kept on so long, however. as to cause deathly sickness.

BRLMONT'S DEMOCRACY.

Mr. Belmont has defined his Democracy. This much has re suited from the controversy be tween himself and Mr. Bryan over the Jeffersonian banquet. Mir. Belmont says he has views of his own, some of which he is willing to ignore if his party in national convention should adopt others to the contrary In other words he says he will endorse the platform and sup port the ticket. He admits that he is in favor of the gold stand ard, but, as he says. Il will un- hesitatingly support free silver, 16 to 1 should 1t be made the platform sentiment of the party in 1900" and promises to give his full support to any candi- date whom the convention SC lects. In commenting on Mr. Belmont'S attitude the Atlanta Constitution proClaims him as good a Democrat as anybody, and one who measures up to the standard of Democracy. "In outlining his beliefs" says the Constitution, "Mr. Belmont sets forth very reasonable program. It is Democratic. He does not regard the financial question as important, and he is inclined to belittle the silver issue. That, of course, is the natural result of his opinions in this matter. He disarms criticism when he an- nounces that he proposes to act with the Democratic party in any event. His attitude is Dem ocratic and will make for harmo- ny. If he had put forth his an- nouncement before or immediate ly after sending an invitation to Mir. Bryan he would have no oc- caSion to resent what he seems to regard as discourtesy Ga Zette.
 MT, Belmont is one of the right kind of Democrats. He believes in sticking to his party and abiding the decision of the majority whether it exactly CO., incides with his views or not. Such a course on the part of all Democrats will insure success in the next Presidential election.

the most hot-headed advocate of the administrators policy must stop and stammer in attempting to reply. "The duty not to be shirk- ed,' upon which the Imperialistic press and the Republican orators have harped so increasingly, is not to take the lives of the 'sullen peo- pies who have been battling for liberty even as our forefathers in old colonial days battled it is rath- CT the duty of an elder brother to- ward a younger. The pointing out of the duty of the United States has come to the Pharisee' vain repetition of which the good book tells; 1t Is as the sounding of brass, meaningless in the ears of true lovers of liberty.
 The United States has made a bad bargain. The greed of few speculators who hold an ever tightening rein upon the hard driven Republican administration hack-horse has placed the nation which heretofore has been the ex- ponent of freedom Tn its highest realization in light which calls the blush of shame to the forehead of the honest, earnest professor of Democracy. The thinking people of the land are puzzled as to the best way out of the quandary; but even while the question is being discussed at home, noble hearted men wearing the uniform of the re- public are being shot down like dogs in the far-off islands in the Orient.
 The twenty million dollars paid Spain, for what reason has not yet been satisfactorily explained, was foolishly thrown away, but it becomes of no consequence what ever when the lives lost in the present disgraceful war with a handful of struggling insurgent. are considered.
 Establish a temporary protector. ate if necessary; take possession of the civic rule of the islands, but stop the bloodshed. The life of one true hearted American vii, weigh in the balance against all the gold which the speculators will capture by the siezing of the Philippine islands.-Ft. Smith Elevator.

py combination of imperialist, ex. pansionist and annexationist.

OF course every well informed American knew from the outset what would, (and if not over) or will be the final termination of the war with tine Filipinos. While these people, halfcivilized, hali naked and half armed have demonstrated their bravery and their love of liberty. 1t has only been a question of time when they would have to succumb to the superiority of the Americans. There is still a chance for Agui- naldo and his followers to enjoy that liberty so dear to every pa triot ;but that must come through the good graces of the American people, after this coun- try secuers a Democratic admin istration.

STOP THE BLOOD SHED.

Over thirty dead and more than POO wounded is the record of the battle in the Philippines the first of the week, and the roll of human sacrifices to the god of mammon Is thereby heightened. It was a glorious victory, and the patriot ism of the boys in blue was never better shown than in the magnifi- cent charge upon the insurgents made by General Wheaton's bri- gade, and the sight of the soldiers fording the river with their rifles held above their heads, under the fire of the enemy, is one the de- scription of which must thrill ev- cry American breast. The pa thetic death of Colonel Egbert will call for many a fur tive tear, and the bravery and valor of Uncle Sam's troops calls for the highest praise.
 But there is another side of it :; the question "what profteth it that blood be shed:" arises, and

The goldbug press is very indus triously trying to harmonize the Democratic party on gold stand ard lines. German, Olney and other absurdites are paraded before the public as proper presidential timber. We don't like to discour- age these harmonizers; but would suggest that if they really want harmony, let them throw down their arms and come back to the fold. Get on the Chicago plat form and pull for the shore. The great masses of the Democratic party are not going to be side tracked for the pleasure of a few bolters.-Fordyce Enterprise.
