The Satire In whittter,s Slippers.

One evening as I sat with MT Whit tier before his Franklin stove he hos pitably brought forward pair of slip pers and laughed as he pointed at the satirical device embroidered upon them. He said Gail Hampton worked them for him when his wartime poems were being published, They represent ed pair of belligerent American eagles, armed with the thunderbolts of love, and they were done in the sober- est Quaker drab-thunderbolts and all! Thee sees," he said, she is as sharp with her needle as with her pen!'- Samuel T. Pickard, in Ladies Home Journal

MYSTIC MESSAGE OF SORROW.

Chicago Man n4ysteriousIy Learns of
 His Brothers Death In Manila.
 A mystic message brought sad intel iigenee to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago one day last week. It told him of the death of his twin brother, Fred Roe Pratt, which occurred in Manila. Frank was sitting down to dinner in his home in Chicago when suddenly the impression entered his mind that his brother had died. He could not tell whence the knowledge came, all he knew was that his brother was dead. He told his parents of his belief, of his knowledge, of the sad event, and then he hurried into the streets, where he walked up and down for hours, bur dened with his grief. Three days later came cablegran from Manila telling that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been yoyaging around the world, was dead and that his body was on a steamer bound for Japan. Fred left Chicago in December, 1898, in the company of friend to make a tour of the world. It was their intention to visi.. nearly all the oriental countries, winding up in Australia. They had already visited China, Japan, Singapore and other places. Fred was born in Chicago and had practieed law with his brother un- til he started on this trip. The simi- larity between the twin brothers was so marked and striking that the first thought on seeing them together was to doubt ones eyesight. Not only in features and stature were they coun- terparts, but in actions, expression and general bearing also.
 Guarding the Trans Siberian Railroad.
 The Trans-Siberian railroad Is very closely guarded, the management feel ing personally responsible for the peo- pie they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one Yerst, or f1ve-eighths of a mile. In neat little log house, usually in gar den, live the guard and his people, The average family is wife and five tow-headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or member of his family must patrol h1s section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- breaches and after 1t has passed steps back into the middle of the track. holds a small green flag in the air, at night a lantern, and stands like statue until the train has entered the next section. Several guards do duty in the heavy curves and frequently they are only a few hundred feet apart Much of the track patroling is done by women, who have proved fully as re- liable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand on the track holding the flag aloft. Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts. they are fine sub- jects for 8 sculptor after unique model.

Wonnen. Not Cowardlx.

When eowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes 8 huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times year. It is one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. I haye known wom- en who were timid to | degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa sion. A woman who shudders at the sight of a small cut from which blood 0ozes will oftan exhibit marvellous courage in shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reck- lessness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble.

Rays Find False Teeth.

Albert Brown, an aged and paralytic citizen of Paterson, N. J., was out and in a set of false teeth for two days. He swallowed them Sunday, and as he could not speak the whereabouts of the artificial grinders was a mystery. II was decided that since he could not have walked away with them and could not have thrown them away be- cause of his paralyzed condition, he must have swallowed them. The K rays discovered the missing set of mouth upholstery snugly reposing in the upper part of the esophagus. They were successfully removed and clamp ed to their proper position.-New York Journal.

RISING PRICES

Samuel hefett, writer in the New
York Journal, takes the view that the
money question will be eliminated
from the sphere of political discussion
this year from the fact that recent
gold discoveries have added a thous-
and millions to the circulating me-
dium Of the country. This money
has enhanced prices and now, he
says, that as the majority Of the
working men are employed they will
look with disfavor upon any thing
which will augment the volume of
money and further enhance prices
Mr.. Meffett thinks that the work !!
ingman, who was out Of emplccy ment
in 90, and is now earning wages.
will oppose free silver on the ground
that further increase in the volume
of cure ncy will make him pay more
for his breadstuffs and clothes. This
is exactly what it will do and this in
crease in prices will give the farmers,
wool growers and other producers a
chance This is one of the good
things about plenty Of money in the
country. it benefits all alike, and will
also increase the wages Of labor as it
will open fresh avenues of employ
ment.
If the laboring man, however, wants
prosperity to stop as soon as the wave
reaches him he is very foolish. Why
should he vote against its reaching
the farmer? Because, says Mr.. Moi.
felt, it raises the price of breadstuff.
and he don't want his dollar to buy
less than it does.
1t is this eternal harping on the
fact that man S dollars are going t.
buy less, that keeps the working
masses under the control of the golt
standard people. AS soon as none,
gets plentier and a few thousand Q
them (who walked the streets idle tt
year befere) get jobs with the pros
perity which follows an increase c
money in circulation, the politica
economist walks in among them an
whispers:
Time to put on the breaks; this
dangerous imitation; too much none
in the country. If this keeps u
your money won t buy as much mex
year as it does now. Vote anains
imitation! Vote against inflatlor!'
The poor dupes get alarmed an
vote as they are told because the
don stop to think that the rise i
prices that helps the producer wi
put him in position to employ mo-
labor and use more machinery to ha
vest his crops, and that it will tai
more men to make that machine1
and to work in the fields and to do
thousand and one things that have
be done when more money comes in
the field to loosen up the avenues
employment. The gold standard m.
do not want any more money in Il
country than they can corral and thu
know that when the wOrkingmeu
the country are al. employed, and
good wages, they cannot herd the
like sheep on election day.
We cannot depend on the chan
gold dis :overies of the world to fl
nish money supply which kee
pace with the growing populatio

ply has made good times just

BUBUNiC PLAGUE In MANILA.
Disease Reported to be Gaining Much
lleadway There.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. s.--According
to news broue ht by the steamer Empress
of China, the plague is reported 10 be
gaining much head way in Manila. Tel.
egrams to the Japan Daily Mail under
date OF January 18th, are TO the effect
that there were twelve cases on one
street on that date. The outbreak Is
said to be causing great excitement.
The Manila Times Of an earlier date
says some excitement was caused by
the report of two cases of the disease
believed to be bubonic plague. The
victims were Chinese, who came by
steamer from Hongkong. The patients
and the houses in which the cases oc-
Cured were isolated. The plague Is
still raging at Hongkoug. During 1899
there were / 1876 cases and l42S deaths.

GEN. E. =. OTIS Is TO CONE HOME.
Will be Relieved Of His Command In

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Major Gen. Elwell 5. Otis will be de-
tached from duty as governor general
of the Philippines and commander of
the department of the Pacific immedi-
ately after the arrival of the new Phil
ippine commission, and will be ordered
to return to the United States
This action will be in compliance
with the wishes OF Gen. Otis who can be
relieved after the arrival of the COM
mission at Manila-which will occur
late in April or early in May-without
detriment to the interests of the govern
ment. He will be succeeded by the
senior officer in the islands, probably
Maj. Gen. Arthur Macarthur, who will
be subordinate to the new commission,
which will possess plenary powers and
will be responsible to the war depart
ment.

Returned to Camp.

The Silver Republicans of Blaine
and Fremont counties who left the
main army of Republicans several years
ago returned to camp Tuesday. They
were taken back and assigned to their
old quarters in the encampment.
VI course they will be drilled over
again and be allowed to do camp duty
but beyond that it is not known how
far they will be trusted 1t is hardly
safe to say they will fill the first promo
tions-that they will fill the post OF
color companies or be assigned places
OF honor on the lines. We rather think
the order will go forth: Give the best
to those who have responded at all
times to the bugle call-plaee none but
the old guard on duty tonight and lie,
the old men rest while the returning
ones do the duties of the camp. But
they are back and the shout they gave
would indicate they were glad to get
back.
