Three Years of Deficit.

The first two years of the McKin
ley administration showed a deficit
of revenue as compared with eX.
penditure. This was explained by
saying that the Dingley tariff had
not got into full operation, and the
prediction was added that the next
year it would be all right. But the
next year the deficit continued to
roll up until the Spanish war came
along and there was a lucky chance
to even things up by clapping on
war taxes" This was done, and
the war re venue bill was contrived
to supplement the DEFICIENCIES of the
Dingley tariff bill while prOfessedly
designed only to meet the extra
ordinary expenses of the war.
For time il seemed as il this re-
suit would be attained, and from
Washington were sent out congratu-
latiOns upon the wonderful success
of the Mckinley financial policy.
But the end of the second Mckinley
year also showed a deficit, and that
was explained bv laying it to the
war. Pretty soon the war came to
an end, and Washington INDUCED in
predictions of surplus. But the
cost of fighting the cause of Denevo-
lent assimilation falsif1ed this pre-
diction; the deficit began to loom up
again, and to-day the third year OF
the Mckinley regime promises TO
m ak as bad showing as either of
those which have preceded IL.

BOBBY'S sOLILOQUY.

Little brothers come to town,
All the house aWaking;
Things are tumbled upside down
What fuss they're making!
All the neighborhood's alive,
Visitors a-coming-
House as busy as hive
With the bees humming,
Cause baby's come to us
Such funny little cuss.
Ma says bayby's awful wise;
Goodness! what whopper:
Papa's bald. but baby-pshaw!
Say, it's rough on pepper!
Looks like pal had to laugh,
Sal had like to giggle,
Pop he wasn't pleased by half,
will bet miggle.
Baby's hairless as rat
Pop he never looked like that!
Ma says baby's awful wise;
Course we all know better,
All 1t does is yells and cries,
Doesn't know letter.
When it makes noise like that,
Ma says, "pins is stickin'
Precious dear'-I tell you fiat
would take lickin'.
When it's me the row begins
No one lays it up to pins.
Since the babys come to town,
can raise clatter;
| can turn things upside down,
But it doesn t matter;
Ma and pa don't hear or see,
Which is lucky, maybe;
No one gives thought to me
Since ma got baby
Everything's in such whirl-
But I'm glad it ANITA girl.

tonishingly.
The pOlonaise and princesse gowns
are exceedingly beautiful aud very
smart, aud now that they are so uni
versally worn, even the cheaper
dressmakers are able to turn out
very good limitations Of the style.
"A well made princesse dress Is the
most beautiful garment woman
can wear, and badly made one Is
the worst. a.nt
The tailor gowns for the coming
season while they are, in a certain
way, like those that have been worn
before-fOr there is always some re-
semblance in all tailor 9owns-are
made to be clOse-fitting. There Ia
an eXaggeratedness about the fit of

The overskirt has not yet been
adopted by every one, or, rather,
was so much adopted in poor ma
terlal for the summer that it will IT
be copied in good material this
autumn, and 1t is not seen on the
newest tailor gowns. The skirts all
have the close fitting effect over the
hips, and fare around the foot.
They are easily made in two piece 80
with a detached f1ounce, but the
tiOunce is so arranged that it looks
as though the skirt were cut in one.
Dressmakers and tailors-of course
the most eXpehsive-have attained
to a skirt that is all in one, close fit
ting over the hips, and f1iring con
siderably.
The skirt buttoned down the back
from belt to hem, and the skirt that
is fastened at the back with several
buttons and cord, are both old fash.
Toned, fortunately, for the fashion
was to- extreme to be in good taste.
The habit skirt, as is called the
SKIRT that fits like a riding habit,
that has either seam in the middle
OF the back or circular, and fastens
at the left side, is as yet the best
This requires to be carefully made,
50 that it is not too tight over the
back and hips. The ugly plain look
is obviated by four lows of tucks,
very small, and put on about thrt e
| inches below the waist. This breaks
the plain look that is Objectionable
to so many fl ures.

The sash bolero is novelty, and
certainly it is time to expect some
new change in tins garment if it is
to keep its popularity. This, as its
name implies, is IA soft sash, shaped
like the bolero, that draws up and
ties across the bust. 1t is generally
sleeveless, but it often appears
both above aud below the arm seam.
Ia other cases it belongs alone to the
Dwer part of the armhOle, and is
held in the underarm sleeve. A
chic September gown has a fitted
bodice of cirque over blue silk. A
scarf bolero of blue silk, dotted with
black, comes from under the arms
and ties on one side of the bust,
the scarf Oh one side being some
what deeper than On the other. The
skirt is of the silk, with graceful
lace panel on one side.

LONE DAY"

Some day, some day, or you, or | alone,
Must hook upon the scenes we two have
known,
Must tread the self.same paths we two
haVe trod,
And cry in vain to one who is with
God,
TO team down from the Silent Realms
and say,
al love you, = in the old familiar way.
Some day-and each day, beauteous
though 1t he,
Brings closer that dread hour for you or
me,
Fleet-footed Joy, who hurries time
along,
rs yet a secret foe who does us wrong,
Speeding us gayly, though he well doth
Ofyonder pathway where but one may
go.
q heart of mine, through all these per-
feet days,
Mays,
There runs dark thought like creep
ing snake,
or like black thread, which by some
mistake,
Life has strung the pearls of happy
years;
A thought which borders all my Joys
with tears.
Ay, one will go. TO go is sweet, l
wis
Yet God must needs invent some
special bliss
To make his Paradise seem very dear
To one who goes and leaves the other
here;
TO sever souls so bound by love and
time,
For any one but God, would be crime.
Yet Death will entertain his own,
think,
no one who stays, life gives the gall to
drink,
TO one who stays, or be it you or me,
There waits. the Garden OF Gethsemane,
q dark, inevtabl and awful day,
when one of us must go and one must
stay!

SIMPLICITY.

Who, listening, hears no music in the
brook,
Or sees no beauty in the Towering trees,
Except the subtitle promise there i'm
piled
OF added gain, in later fruitage stored,
Fails of the higher purposes of life,
And thereby cheats himself of that
which makes
The finite seek to grasp the infinite.
Better crust in some poor dungeon
cell,
With mind unfettered and a conscience
clean,
Than pampered royalty in courts and
camps,
Haunting the bauble power, that soon
must yield
To unrelenting Death, and be forgot.

n ew Millinery.

A peep at the new hats reveals a
number of creations" very at
tractive to the eye indeed. AS after
noon affairs mean semidreSs, the
Partisan milliners devote consider.
abe attention always to the after
noon hat. Two extremely pretty
and stylish hats that will be worn
in the late season show the prevail
ing picturesque tendency. One of
these is a cream Leghorn, with a
narrow facing of mauve velvet
finishing the wide brim, aud wild
band of the velvet goes around the
high crown. Two clusters of yellow
and mauve flowers form the simple
trimming. Loops of the velvet are
put at the turned-up side toward the
back. Wide strings of mauve tulle
are brought from the back and form
a large bow at the left side.
The other hat is of rough yellow
straw, the brim turned up at the
left and held by full rosette of
black tulle. There is another large
rosette at the front, but this is made
of green tulle shading from dark to
light. This rosette covers the
stems of two beautiful, full black
ostrich :ips. These hats are simple
and by no means expensive, and
therefore, meet every requirement
| of between-seasOn hats.
AS will be noticed in the hats /
have selected as representative oil
the seasons modes, the style of the
hat is all in the bending of the brim,
which Is done to suit the face of the
wearer. One never sees woman
nowadays wearing an unbecomine
hat. IL a wide.rimmed hat suits bel
style better than a chic little toque,
why, she may wear the larger hat
for Dame Fashion is kind to US this

II you understand its mental con
dition 1t would be a cause OF deep
concern, perhaps of real alarm.
Precocity Is species of insanity.
Children with well-balanced minds
are not remarkable In any special
respect. The unusual show Of
mental power In one directin IL ma
lures tacit confession of weakness
In another. A phenomenal memory
and low order OF the power to dis
criminate, or junge, are common
mental combinations In the "for-
ward" child.
Nature left to herself would doubt
less mend these mismade minds !;
but nature Is seldom left to herself.
She Is either helped or hindsred in
the processes of mental develop
ment. And in such cises rs we
speak Of, she Is commonly hindered
by the pride Of foolish parents. The
remedy for mental defOrmity, simply
expressed, consists in careful educa-
ton and training of the weaker pow
ers rather than d constant stimdla-
ton of the already abnominally
strong ones. A child with a very
remarkable memory, for example,
should not positively be discouraged
from doing what is easy for him, but
he should constantly and by all
Legitimate means be encouraged to
do what is for him exceedingly diff
ficult. This is the only way in
which the lack of mental symmetry
can be overcome.
How foolishly parents treat the
prodigy. On all possible and many
inappropriate occasions this ab-
normal child is made to perform, !"
for the Amusement of his friends,
and to his own infinite hurt. By
such means NATURES freak is made
more freakish, and the prospect for
the child's mental character becom
ing well rounded Is made less prom
ising.-Exchange.

the question as to who handles the

often suggested. The Big Store
answers this question by showing the
largest and most complete stock in

ufacturing only first class goods. The
Big Store is one of the oldest in Nor

for 30 years and is To- day recognized
benefactor to all mankind. The Big
Store also carries carpets, hats, caps,
and gents furnishings of every

Of the public more especially to their
mammoth clothing and shoe depart

Nature don't treat everybody alike.
She gives pretty teeth to some people
and irregular unshapely teeth to 9TH
ers. And sometimes an otherwise
pretty mouth is made repulsive by
unsightly teeth. 1t is the business of
DR.. Jackson to supply the thing that
nature denies. And that he is doing
this successfully is attested by the
large number OF people who have had
work done by him. DR.. Jackson is a
self-made man, and attained his early
education through private instruc-
tiou and is one of the oldest praeti-
TONERS in Monongalia county having
20 years active practice. He has
successfully passed two examinations
before the state board and is thorough
ly conversant with all branches of den
tistry and his Office is modernly equip
ped with all the latest devices known
to the profession. DIR. Jackson is
successor to the late DIR. Morris, with
whom he began the study of dentistry
when mere boy and has grown up
in the profession, in fact he never
did anything else thus making him
thorough in practical knowledge which
but few have the honor of receiving.
He was born in Fairmont, w. Va, in
1859 and has through his persistency
to master his profession attained the
goal of the masters. He does all kinds
of dentistry in a most satisfactory
manner and is favored with a large
practice from the best people in Mon.
ongalia county.
