love-making when I'm two or three
years older and wear my dresses quite
long. I don't contradict hernia is so
stupid about such things, you know;
but | can't help laughing. Why, it
was only the other day that she was
saying that, if you want to 10 any
thing well, you must start practicing it
when you are young. And that's Just
what Fred Marchant says-the impu-
dent fellow! He used to be awfulIy
shy, but he isn't now; at least, not
with me. It's very tiresome of him,
because don't like boys to be so silly.
should be ~dre2dfully angry with him
II he wasn't mean If he didn't-well,
he's rather nice, you know!
He's a great big fellow, at the same
school with my brothers. You can't
help noticing him if you go to any of
their sports. He's always making fiji
ties or kicking goals or winning races
or something. You wouldn't think he
was afraid of Il lion to see him then.
BUT when he came to my house he
used to sit and blush and twiddle his
cap, just because of me! 1t made me
cross! VI course | didn't care about
him or want him to take any notice of
me, really; only it seemed so stupid
Besides, people might have fancied
that he thought l wasn't nice. I knew
he didn't think that, because lie used
to stare at me so when he thought l
wasn't looking.
All the same, 7 couldn't get him to
say much more than yes or mo" to
me, till one evening he came round to
show the mater and pater a little
bronze figure he had won at some
sports-such a dear little pug. with a
saucy little face that seemed to scowl
and laugh both at once.
"Oh!" I cried. isn't he lovely! 1
am so fond of dogs!"
do you really like him, Miss Flos-
sie?" he said, eagerly. "I don't want
1t. We've got such a lot at home. Do
keep It. please"
He put 1t right in my hands; and
when ma said. Certainly not!" in her
most emphatic tones. he only laughed

The plant known as ~vervain, which

which grows nowadays utterly disre-

that they only gathered it for their

arose, in order that neither sun nor

AVOID ALUM. BAKING POWDERS
Their Use Is Dangerous to Health.

Their Use Is Dangerous to Health.
The condemnation of alum as an un-
wholesome ingredient in baking DOW.
ders by the Government authorities, as
well as by the Iowa and Minnesota
State Boards of Health and physicians
generally, has not deferred manufac-
turers of such powders from foisting
them on the public. Following is a
partial list OF the condemned alum
powders found in the stores in this
section:
Calumet. Government.
Atlas. Hatchet.
Bengal. Home.
Cameo. /. c.
Chapman's. K. c.
Chicago Yeast. Loyal.
Columbia. Palace.
Crown. Puritan.
Echo. Perfection.
Globe. Snow Ball.
Grants Bon Bon. Unrivaled.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold
with a prize. All powders sold at twen-
ty-fve cents or less a pound are sure
to be made of alum. DR.. Wiley, the
Government Chemist, in his official ex-
animation of baking powders at the
Worlds Fair, threw out all "alum pow.
ders," CHASING them as unfit for human
food.
But the Worlds Fair could approve
as we'll as condemn. After the most
elaborate tests, it bestowed the highest
award for purity, leavening power,
keeping qualities and general excel
lence on DR.. Prices Cream Baking

It's an old saying and true that zone
swallow does not make a summer"
The fact that Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma wheat farmers have expert
enced their sporadic case of prosperity
because of a wheat famine abroad and
two good wheat crops in the two states
and one territory aforesaid does not
prove that prosperity, abiding and uni
versal, has arrived. Mckinley did not
produce the wheat famine in Europe,
and consequently did not produce the
rise in wheat in America.
/ have inquired of all classes of PEG
pie with whom / have come in contact
as TO the condition of business in their
lines and as TO the state of the times.
The invariable reply is that business is
duller and times harder than previously
except with druggists and doctors.
They have had a rush of business be-
cause disease has been unusually wide
spread. Surely no pap sucker viii have
the monumental gall to claim that Mark
is responsible for this temporary rush
Of business with druggists and doctors,
unless he wishes to make people believe
that Mark produced the diseases which
gave employment to the pharmaceutists
and the disciples of Esculapius.
Drummers nearly all complain that
the money totals Of their business are
shrinking because, while obtaining per-
haps as many orders as formerly, the
orders are smaller, merchants appearing
afraid to buy as large stocks as hereto
fore. Drummers are the infallible ther-
mometers Of business. When they are
cheerful, business is good. When they
are doleful, business Is bad Drummers

ton Of trusts means that many Of them

Especial Washington letter.
In my Topeka banquet speech at the
great Bryan meeting. March 80, I made
the following mild and modest declara-
ton Of a patent and potent fact;
Economy in the public expense lies at
the root OF all lasting and widespread
prosperity. There may be what the doc
tors would class as sporadic cases Of
prosperity In this country now. l have
no doubt that the small eoterie Of dis
tinguished statesmen who recently had
their rendezvous on Jekyl island
otherwise known as the recreation
ground of multimiIlionaires-is pros
porous. but that any general and
abundant measure Of prosperity has
come TO the great body Of the people is
a proposition that cannot be maintained
by any evidence now at hand" For
making that plain declaration OF a pal
pablo truth certain thick and shin ad-
ministration editors-espeeiaIly in Kan
sas-have been maligning me ever since
as a calamity bowler" ! never was
a calamity howler,' and am not one
now. | was particularly surprised at
being 81 charged for making that speech.
for Immediately after the paragraph
above quoted I said: II wish to heaven
that prosperity, universal and abiding,
would come. I care not who brings il,
50 il comes / would acclaim il as
c~heerfully. lustily and gratefully If
brought about by William Mckinley
and a Republican congress az / would
if produced by William Jennings Bryan
and a Democratic congress" Then /
complimented President Mckinley and
wished him well After mature DELHI
Grafton, l think my Topeka speech con-
sentative and hberal--much more 50
than any of those who are abusing me
for it could be induced to make.
This. however. is a free country. In
spite of those who passed the infamous
alien and sedition laws, and from whom
modern Republicans are descended,
Democrats made freedom Of speech
and freedom Of the press the most pre-
cious birthrights of American citizens.
Consequently, by reason of that Demo
cratic performances / am at liberty to
speak the truth, and Republican editors
are at liberty to abuse me for so doing,
as we cannot yet be prosecuted for lese
majesty in this country-not yet-not
yet. We may come to that later on,
when Republicans conclude that il win
be safe 10 do 50. In the Topeka speech
/ spoke Of prosperity only briefly and
incidentally. did not then furnish a
bill Of particulars on that subject. as
the major portion Of my speech was de-
voted TO economy" but having had
my statements questioned in a rude and
unseemly manner by certain editors
who are holding Office under Mr.. Nc
Kinley ! do now set forth a few evil
dences Of this wonderful variety Of
prosperity which, we are v~ociferously
assured, has come upon Us as clandes-
timely and Unexpectedly as a thief in
the night.

1.-THE Mckinley cabinet is seriously
considering the advisability of granting
the demands Of the Michigan lumber
men that Canadian lumber be excluded
from the United States is it, Lumber
users may take 1t into their pates to in
quire when 1.-THE Mckinley cabinet is
going to consider the advisability Of
granting" their demands for lumber at
a fair price. They may put two and
two together and conclude that the re-
suit isfour, and, reasoning on that prin-
ciple, they may be able to figure it out
that General Russell A. Alger is a bell
wether among "the Michigan lumber
men, and that he is a member of the
Mckinley cabinet-being the same IL
lustrious statesman who is charged by
Hon. John Sherman in his book with
having bought Johns southern negro
delegates away from him at the Chicago
Republican national convention of 1883,
the Hon. John being simple enough to
believe that Republican political moral
ity demands that when a southern ne
gro delegate is bought once be ought to
stay bought-a thing altogether incred-
ible.
The users Of lumber, after q due sea-
son Of cogitation and rumination, may
possibly read between the lines Of the
above dispatch and actually cipher out
the conclusion-horrible rebellious and
unpatriotic-that the beloved Alger as
a member OF the Mckinley cabinet IL
deyising a scheme for turning an hon
est penny by putting mp the price Of
his lumber by Excluding Canadian
lumber from the United States" which
may be, to borrow an utterance Of Mr..
Sut L~ovinggood, 1.-THE making Of the
pup, but hard on dad" And as the
consumers Of lumber go down into their
weasel skins TO produce the where
withal to make the rich Mr.. Alger
richer, they can console themselves
with the scriptural quotation, Render
unto Cesar the things which ar6C@-
sar's"- unless they are afraid to quote
the Bible, for fear Of being prosecuted
for leze majesty. These poor benighted
lumber users may even have the pre-
sumption to doubt the Renuineness of
the sunburst Of prosperity In which we
are assured by Republican editorial
postmasters that we are now luxuriat-
ing. They may even have the pighead-
edness to go 10 the polls and vote
against the chief of the Mckinley cabi-
net, unless. forsooth, some federal Judge
should enjoin them from 80 doing. I'm
lees Republican leaders really are 80
blind as to believe that American
voters are fond Of kissing the hand that
smites them, they had better nip this
Algerian prosperity in the bud or they
are likely to hear something ''drap."
A prophecy Of the greater prosperity /
is in store for the American peo-
Pile may be read in the press dispatches
announcing Mr.. Reeds retirement from
the speakerzhip and from congress, /
coupled with the further announcement
that Marcus A. Hanna is to take a hand
