AN MIGRATE SOLDIER.
Pretty story of the War netween
the swedes ana Danes Many
Years Ago.

Here Is a story Of the battlefield:
There was war between the Swedes
and the Danes. One day great battle
was fought and the Swedes were beat
en- and driven from the field. A sol
der OF the Danes who had been slight
~ wounded Was sitting on the ground.
He was about to take drink from a
flask. All az once he heard some one
say:
"oh, sir. give me drink, for ] am
dyingl"
Ii was a wounded Swede who spoke.
lie was lying on the ground only a
little way off The Dane went 10 him
at once. He knelt down by the side
OF his fallen foe and pressed the flask
10 his lips. Drink, said he. for thy
need is greater than mine"
Hardly had he spoke these words
when the Swede raised himself on his
elbow. lie pulled pistol from his
pocket and shot nj the man who
would have befriended him. The bull.
let grazed the Danes shoulder. but did
not do him much harm.
"Ah, you rascal" be cried. II was
going 10 befriend you. and you repay
me by trying TO kill me. Now will
punish you. ! would have given you
All the water, but now you shall have
only half" And with that he drank
the half OF IL and then gave the rest
10 the Swede.
When the king OF the Danes heard
about this he sent for the soldier and
had him tell the story just hs 1t was.
"why did you spare the life OF the
swede after he hal tried to kill your"
asked the king.
because. sir" said the soldier. Il
could never kill wounded enemy"
"Then YOU deserve 10 be a noble
man." said the king. And he reward
ed him by making him knight and
giving him a noble title. = Famous

A FIRM STANDARD.
The Gold Standard Ia the Worids
standard and Republicans
VIII Adhere 90 ~.

The republican majority of the house
committee on coinage has presented
unanimous report in favor of the Hill
currency bill. The intention OF this
bill may be best expressed in the Lam
guage OF the report ITSELF which says:
"The purpose OF this bill Is to set at rest
All questions as TO the existing legal unit
OF value I'm this country and TO remove all
doubt I'm relation thereto; 10 protect ana
strt ngthen the credit OF the United states
and tho honor OF It's citizens: 10 insure the
permanent equality and value In the hands
OF the people OF every dollar or the United
states and OF every kind OF our currency
OF the same denomination; TO hold In frec
and unhampercd circulation all kinds or
our present currency, and TO provide an
adequate amount OF circulating medium OF
stable value TO transact the business OF
the country"
This purpose is evidently in harmony
with the long-continued policy and with
the declarations OF the republican
panty. That party would favor BIZ
metallic standard IL IL were the world's
standard, but as the worlds standard
Is pcrsistently gold the republican par
" would have the gold standard recog-
nized by the law OF the country, and all
kinds OF currency made conformablc
thereto. Hear again the language OF
the committee on this point:
~ double blmetallic standard IS i'm
praeticable-imposs ible. a bimetallic cur
rency is practicable and desirable. and ~
promoted. strengthened and fortified by
this bill. We adopt gold as the standard
because Il Is the most stable In value and
hence the most just and safe standard by
which TO measure other values. We pro-
mote the convenience OF the people by
providing an adequate supply or both sill
yer and gold in our currency. but we can
only do 81 with Justice Go them by protect-
ing them from the possible depreciation or
silver in their hands and hence we throw
about silver such safeguards. by limiting
IT'S coinage and providing for its exchange,
as will maintain it's parity with our gold
and paper currency"
The present senate Is a bar TO curs
rency legislation. But this unanimous
republican report indicates that the
party is not afraid OF the currency
question, and that its confidence Is
based upon an adherence 20 the sound
principles that have guided financiers
the world over.-~Troy Times.
