The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care of the faithful dog.
Put neither the dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love can guard a child from
those invisible foes that lurk in air,
water and food-tlle germs Of disease.
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, lassitude and listlessness in
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. IN
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found all invaluable medi-

No Chance for Bryan.

The London Times in commenting
on the probab BILE outcome of the Amer
lean presidential election, expresses
the opinion that if Bryan has any
chance of success, that chance lies in
the disbelief of the American people
in his power to carry out the subver-
sive policy which he has proclaimed.
But it does not apprehend that he will
be allowed to try to apply his crude
theories to matters of enormous i'm
portance, which effect the whole finan-
cial and industrial policy and Inter-
ests of the people. The article de-
scribeS Bryan as quick change art
ist, but says he is neither attractive
nor Ineligible in the various chac-
acters hs assumes. ION the other
hand" says the Times, 1.-The present
administration, whatever criticism
may justly be made of its perform
ances, at any rate stands for some
thing that is definite and solid. I'm
der it the country has been very pros
porous, and it does not propose to
tamper with the basis of that pros
perity."

. More Evidence Against Our TagaIos.

There is no novelty in testimony
which recites the dependence of Flip
ino rebels upon Organism, but it is
most emphatically right that it should
be kept before the people. One .oi
their first duties now is to say whether
they will sustain or cast off the men
who are fighting under their flag and
risking their lives for the support OF
American sovereignty over territory
belonging to America.
The latest witness against those who
hope to undermine and destroy tina,
sovereignty comes from Arthur T.
Peace, a volunteer who is now serv-
ing in the Philippines. This soldier
in writing to his parents says: ''The
anti-expansionists at home have SIM
ply ruined all prospects of any'peace-
able termination of the trouble here,
at least until after the election. They
have discouraged our men and en-
courage our enemies.
So infatuated are the natives with
Democratic promises that they seem
to regard an enlistment among the
bushwhackers of Aguinaldo's murder
Gus bands of robbers as an
enlistment in the Democratic party.
At least Bryan is recognized as the
common leader of American ''anti-
imperialists and Tagalo insurgents.
Peace noticed that a picture of the
Democratic candidate was one of the
ornaments of a native hut at Calamba,
and he says that the rebels and their
sympathizers believe not only that
Bryan will be elected but that his
followers are largely in the majority
in this country. That is because they
understand the speaking and
pamphleteering activity of the
"aunties'' upon any other theory.
Used as they have been to despotic
regime they infer that riotous speech
signifies a numerical superiority.
Hence, though the revolutionary
literature which they receive from this
country comes from few and for the
most part unimportant sources, it in
spires them with confidence never.he-
less. Even a treatise by Atkinson
which would be laughed to scorn in
the United States is conclusive in their
eyes, and Bryan and his platform
have completed the work which little
clique of monomaniacs began.
Peace closes his letter with an az
count of the cowardly assassination
of Captain Murphy, a regular army
officer, by native, and we may dis
cover in this event the natural fruits
of 'anti-imperialism." What do the
people think OF such a
harvest?

Roosevelt on the Negro Soldier,

''The Democrats have attempted to
make a mountain out of mole hill"
said Gov. Roosevelt. ''In the article
referred to made mention of an Incl
dent that happened at San Juan Hill.
Il had orders to hold certain po-
sition, and was supported by the 10th
Cavalry (colored). The position was
uncertain, and We needed every man
available to make the stand. Two or
three of the colOreJ soldiers started
to the rear in search of water, as Or
dered by their Captain. rebuked the
Captain for lessening our force, and
commanded the men to remain. The
statement made after that. as near
as l remember was, Il have orders to
kill, and intend to do it. will shoot
any man that gives up his position.
This is the whole story in a nut
shell. and the efforts of the Democrats
to make political capital out of the
simple incident shows what small
campaign methods they are capable
of using.
"A; San Juan Hill the colored SOL
diers rendered an object lesson to all
soldiers assembled there. They sung
and fought and pushed the laggard
troopers up the hill, and the great vic
tory at that point was theirs as much,
if not more. than any OF the soldiers

BRYAN MONEY WANTED.
An Offer of $4,000 on Mckinley to $4,000
on Bryan.

NEW ORLEANS, La, October g.
There is some big money waiting for
the betting advocates of Bryan at a
new Orleans pool room. Big odds
will be given the Bryanite who desires
to back his judgment with money.
Chaplin and Gore, the well-known
Chicago sporting firm, have deposited
with Barker Harrison, through G.. S.
Bush. the sum of $4,000, which they
wish to wager against $4,000 on Nc
Kinley.
The check was forwarded to Mr.
Bush and by him placed in the hands
of Mr.. Harrison. The large odds
offered show the feeling about the
presidential campaign in the Middle
West. 1t is significant that the check
comes from the city in which Demo-
cratic national headquarter are loca-
ted, and a state which has been the OBJ
ject of Bryan's personal solicitute.
Although the fact was advertised
that all Bryan men would be ac-
commodated, no bettors willing to
take the Democratic end of it have
SO far shown up.

A Lament.

The following lines we're written by
Mrs. Emma Medley about two months
before she died:
think SO Oft, of the old grave yard,
On the hillside far and lone,
Where my parents sleep their quiet sleep.
nj ath the sod in their last long home.
My heart turns there, in loneliness, now,
And fingers, as life's sun goes down.
think OF those who have gone before,
To their rest in the cold, cold ground,
In spirit wander o'er the quiet spot,
Can hear loved voice, again;
Can note his presence, close about,
Hear the tread of his footsteps in the wind
Perhaps my time is drawing very near,
Perhaps gentle voice is calling my way?
Twill try to he ready, for miss him here,
AS await the coming dawn of the day.
Some dav, there will be new made grave
In the grave lot, close beside
My Fathers where !, in peace will lay,
After my soul has passed out with the tide.

CHINESE DEFEAT GERMANS.
Kaiser's Men are Forced to Fall Back on
Tieu TSin.

Sensational stories of suddenly re-
newed military activity come from
several sources in China. One of
these, vouched for by German CORES
pondents, represents an immense
Chinese army of 100000 men gather
ing in the interior of the Providence
of Shansi. The Standard has Tien
Tsin special recountlng the defeat of
a German force by mysterious army
of 5000 Chinese.
Skirmishes with rebel bodies are
also reported further south. and curSS
respondents at both Shanghai and
Hong Kong declare the troops there
are being held in readiness for emer-
gency.
The Standard special from Tien
Tsin, dated Friday. October 3, says:
"a German force came into collision
with 5000 Chinese, described as Boxers,
a few miles south of Tien Tsin, this
morning. The Germans were checked
dud Colh " ICtllC Oh L lCh 4o1hs
''There is reason to believe that the
Chinese in this case were not Boxers,
but were Ii Hung Chang's veterans,
who had been ordered to wait near
here, in view of the possibility that
the foreigners would bar his progress
to the capital"
A Pekin dispatch, sent on September
% to the Daily News, says that Mr.
Cordes, the interpreter of the German
who was wounded at the
time Baron Won Ketteler was killed in
Pekin, and party of Germans,
searched Buddhist temple at
Changan. They found three modern
guns, quantity of arms
and ammunition and uniforms and
and papers which we're abandoned by

Farln Prices.

Farms are higher priced now than
they were a year ago in many locations
and are very likely destined to advance
in price as business grows more brisk
and prices of other things are going up,
SAYS The American Cultivator. We re-
member how it was between 1861 and
1865. With wool at 81 Il pound or
more, -four at SIS a barrel and wheat
in proportion. pork 10 cents a pound,
butter 40 to SO cents pound and hay
$40 to $50 ton, it seemed as If money
could be made in farming Some sue
ceeded in doing so. We know farmers
whose yearly sales We're more In some
of those years than their farms were
valued at before the war. We know
others who bought at high prices about
the close of the war and found that as
prices of farm produce went down they
could not sell enough to pay the inter-
est on the mortgage and lost all they
had. But farmers were not the only
ones who made money when prices
went up or lost money when they went
down. Manufacturers found them
selves unable to sell their finished prod
ucts for as much as they had paid or
agreed to pay for their raw material.
There is lesson in this for farmers.
If there is a boom and season of
high prices for farm products. do not
get excited over it, with the eXpecta-
ton that it will last forever. Do not
contract obligations that cannot be met
If prices 60 back to last years rates.
