"That's Mex

The Iowa volunteers have brought
back from the Philippines a slang ex-
preston with a moral. During their
experiences about Manila the boys
came in contact with good many Mex
lean silver dollars. They looked just as
good as the honest money dollar Of the
United States mintage, but they were
not, and the soldiers quickly learned to
watch for them and accept them only at
the regular discount rate ANY ATTEMPT
on the part of the foxy Filipinos to work
off dollar that was not backed by the
gold standard in the place Of a dollar
that had the backing was met with a
contemptuous rejection of the chean
dollar and the comment: That's Mex .
The scope Of the expression broadened
and now when the returned volunteers
see anything that is masquerading for
what it isn't they size it up with the
same contemptuous expression: .sThat,s
Mex" The moral is plain. Neither the
returned veterans nor their fellow citi-
cents want to take any chances on hay-
ing the dollars of their own country
tossed back to them in any part of the
world where they may be with SINH
lar slang phrase.-Sioux City Journal

CHAPTER XVI.

| Lord Ennisford is going home. Home
| is where his heart is, and surely his heart
| is not just now in Charles street. He
feels, in fact, that in the present state of
| his mind he cannot go there, so he
thrusts cigar into his mouth, turns his
face towards the Embankment, and there
! strides up and down with the chill star
| light above, and one or two energetic po-
licemen eying him suspiciously. But what
does he care for their looks, so long as
they leave him alone to pursue his mo-
| notonous constitutional on the smooth,
level road for hours.
Meanwhile the same night drags on at
tortoise pace to Lady Ennisford Her
husbands absence from dinner without
a word of excuse, though it calls forth a
few venomous innuendoes from Bella, is
yet not such very uncommon event. But
when at last the lingering rosy glow of
sunset slowly fades into the cold, gray
dusk, when tea is over and Bella gone off
to her workshop to finish the multi
tudinous tasks that should make her a
model woman instead of a snake in the
grass, the little loving, jealous woman be-
gins to picture room in Stanhope street,
which has stamped itself indelibly on her
mind.
At last she shuts down her lids hard.

sights and sounds that drive her mad.
Taking up book, she sits down by

Suddenly she hears her boy start in his

curtain divides from her bed chamber.

But after low moan or two Chester
sinks into a quiet slumber, and creeping
on to the sofa. she puts her arms round
him, and as the dawn breaks, drops into
a deep but uneasy sleep.
1t is quite day now, and stall she has
not awakened, and the full garish light
falls on her face, as Lord Ennisford
stands and looks at her.
She half awakens-the burden of mis-
cradle jealous thoughts, the weight of
many tears on her lids still, and is only
just conscious that tall figure looms
before her, and that a faint, slow air
fans her hot temples, for Lord Ennisford,
on his entrance into the room, had
thrown open window.

most irresistible that the devil has ever

It is a wild impulse to snatch this
beautiful, adorable creature to his heart,
and holding her thus, to swear that the
world and it's riches and glory are just
nothing-nothing to their love, for she,
loves him with all her soul-loves him

Memory puts an icy hand upon the reins
Of passion. Gould he have forgotten,

this moment holds Of love for him before

committed.
Edith, it was not very strange for
Lady Ennisford to wish you to go away,

know better than she can what cause she
has to desire your absence, can quite
understand her anxiety on the subject;
but it can do her no good now, so stay"
Yes; but my promise" and Lady Ayl-
mer's voice has lost it's decision.
"Never mind your promise; it will do
her no good; her very asking it has
| brought evil fruit already. Had she not
been so rash in pressing the matter
might not have learned yet that life-my
| life-is nothing without you. It is the
| idea of your leaving town that has made
me fully realize what your absence would
reduce me to. Your going away will
make it even harder for her, and for me,

and, imperious and masterful as his voice
is, it only startles her into a practical
realization Of her erstwhile dream.
Her arm, lovely and firm and white as

his neck; her eyes, rich in warm, purple

| look up at him with marvellous soft
ness her beauty, enhanced by the snowy
purity of her dress, seems toned down
suddenly by passions magic touch into

tempting, more irresistible than this frail
woman, as, scruples and reserve flung to

No More Use for Populism.

Edgerton, S. D., Sept. 80, 1899.-To
the Editor: | have noticed of late sew
eral statements in the Journal relating
to the deposit per capita of residents i'm
different parts of the country. I do
not consider any of them, taking into
account our handicap Of no railroad
towns, as good as Charles Mix Coun.
tvs. There are four banks in the old
part of the county now having deposits
of over $50 per capita. There are no
manufacturers, large ranchers', stock
or grain buyers deposits, and half OF
the merchants keep their accounts at
their railroad shipping points, or use
the sock" Ninety per cent. of the de-
posits belong to the farmers, and the
balance to a part of the merchants.
This county went Populist last year,
but it will never happen again as long
as the present conditions Of the country
will last. T. e. ANDREWS.
When prosperity comes in at the door
Populfsm flies out at the window. That
is the burden of brief but significant
communication from Charles Mix Coun-
ty, South Dakota. The statement that

During the recent campaign the editor

One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter.
Three cents dozen for eggs.
Two-cent hogs.
One and one-haf cent for fat cattle.
No money to carry on business.
Corn to-day is worth 20 cents In Kan

There has not been much change in the

to $11.50 here and must be worth So or

is quoted at IA cents, but those who get

25 cents. Eggs are II cents, hogs $4O4

This, coming from a newspaper hoteu

its bitter antagonism toward the poicy
of President Mckinley in reference 10
the requirement of new territory lof
the expansion of American trade ana III

of the plain meaning of the verdict JUST
rendered by the American people. IL
is a recognition of the fact that the
voters of this country have condemned

There can be no doubt of it.
The fact that so conclusive a yerdlct

when the successful party was deprived
! of the advantage Of contesting the issue
on national lines, is at once compl-
ment of which President Mckinley may
well and doubtless does feel proud, ana
an assurance that the hearts and minds
of the people are in thorough sympathy
with an administration that has proven
itself to be an American administration

of the word.
