LaFoLLETTE AND BhBcoCk.

Opponents of LaFollette as a can
didate for governor are attempting
to make capital against him by rep
reservations that he has entered into
an offensive and defensive political
alliance with Congressman Babcock.
The only ground for the charge is
that Mr.. Bubcock, who has hitherto
opposed Mr.. LaFollette's aspirations
to the goyernorship, Is not doing so
now, and that some Of "Bab's' most
subservient followers are now en-.
thusiastic in support of LaFollette
This should not for q moment puz-
zle any one familiar with republican
political mauoeuyerings in the state,
and especially in this district. As
heretofore stated in the Tribune, Mr.,
Babcock has for some time past been
in disfavor with the controlling ele-
meut Of the party, the element that
first developed him in politics and
boosted him into congress. His
coming into this disfayor is explained
by his conduct, indicating that he
ha. come to regard himself the equal
of the powers that made him.-tlio
assumption of the creature to the
privileges and prerogatives of the
creator,--an error common with pol
iticians.
Whether this theory of the oausc
be right or not, the .fact that Mr.
Babcock has for some time been in
antagonism to the Spooner-Payne-
Phster political elan is undisputed.
Then "whero am at?' politically,
is tho most natural question for Mr..
Babcock to ask himself and to the
ordinary observer it appears that he
is Mt sea in frail bark liable at any
time to be engulfed, He sees solid
shore occupied by LaFollettc-popu-
lar couhdencc--und pulls for it, pro-
claiming a desire to rest peacefully
there and humbly protesting that he
willneitherask nor eXpectunyhelpor
encouragement from Mr.. lafolletto
10 aid any schemes or ambitions he
may have. ON those conditions he
is landed, with direct and positive
assurance that there is not and will
not Toe any recognition of obligation
to him, whatever he may do or at
tempt to do in the campaign, or
whatever its results
Mr.. Bahcock can be of no assistance
to Mr.. lnFollcttc. The congress-
man is not likely to influence vote
outside of his own congressional
district, and ia that district his in
nueuco is more likely To be hurtful
than helpful to Mr. IaFollette. De-
spite the cougressmau's opposition,
Mr.. LuFolctte has twice had the
solid support of the third district
except juneau county The CON
gressmaus support is not depended
upon to increase laFollettos vote
from the district in the next state
conventions 1t is therefore ridicu-
lous Gao suppose that laFolletto has
entered uJouuy alliance with Bah
cock. There would bono advantage
in il for IaFollettc or his cause

Nafure an nm Armnrer-

There are few departments of hu- man life where man has been so en- tirely anticipated and at the same time surpassed by the lower animals as In the invention of armor.
 His cunningest devices of the mailed fist order were none of them original If you examine fine and fully devel- oped suit of plate armor in the form which 1t assumed at Its highest zenith in the fifteenth century, you will find that the trunk and limbs were com pletely inclosed in a splendid fitting jointed case of iron plates, all exqui- sitely polished. The suit as a whole was a triumphant product of the ar morer's art.
 Yet If you look at lobsters tail you will see at glance that all these cley- CT devices of mans imagining had been invented and patented long be- fore by nature and that the elaborate workmanship of the Plantagenet craftsmen who cased knight and horse for the battlefield or the tournament in glistening metal was but a poor imita- ton of the ineffable skill with which the unheeded crustaceans of the time protected every vulnerable portion of their bodies from the assaults and at- tacks of their submarine enemies.-- Strand Magazine

His Own Trap.

There Is a young man in the pension office who Is buying a house on the installment plan at town somewhere between this city and Baltimore, and his dear little wife lives out there. It Is his wont to come in early of a morn ing and to go out again on the 5:30 train when his days work is done. A few days ago he met an old friend from Chicago, and, yielding to the entreaties of that old friend, he decided to spend the evening in town. He was so afraid wife would feel hurt If she knew that he had deliberately planned an even ing's good time without counting her In that he manfully resolved to deceive her. Accordingly as he came away from the office he went to a telegraph office and sent this message to her:
 "Unavoidably detained. Missed 5:30 train. Will be out later"
 It was a great deal later when he reached his happy home. Wife met him at the door, and there was a look In her eye that every married man learns to know and instinctively to dread.
 Dlu you get my message precious! he asked as he kissed her tenderly, holding his breath meanwhile as a pre- cautionary measure.
 'Yes, dear" she made answer, and when a woman calls her husband dear" that way you can cut loose from the weather bureau and prognosticate a few things on your own hook. "Yes, Y 1t is."
 There 1t was, sure enough. It was marked as plain as plain could be, Received at 4 :23" He hadn't thought of that.-Washington Post.

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
 Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer. but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure 1t so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it.
 MT. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm street, Amesbury, Mass, says: "Mrs. Smith, from cold which settled in her loins, suffered so severely from backache that she was unable to attend to the or dinary household duties, often finding it impossible to even make bed for three months. I had read great many state ments of residents of Amesbury who pos itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured them of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint. This led me to make some inquiries, and as a re- suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course of the treatment. It cured her. It is SO long ago that I am confident the results are permanent. We never lose an oppor- tunity of advising others who suffer from either weakened or over-excited kidneys to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we know of scores in and around Amesbury who have taken our advice and were not only surprised but gratihed at the bene- fits received"

OUR STORM CENTERS.
Nine of Them and Their Products All
 Love New England.

United States storms, according to
 Professor Bigelow, have nine average
 places of generation. The great ma
 jority form in Alberta, north of Mon- tana, and after coming into the United
 States travel eastward. A few come
 in over the north Pacific coast. A third group forms on the northern
 Rocky Mountain plateau. A fourth forms ip Colorado, being born on the very high mountainous elevations. A fifth forms in the Texas lowlands and, catching the gulf winds and moisture,
 moves eastward. West Indian hurri-
 canes form the sixth class. The south Atlantic coast storms make up the
 seventh class. Storms which come In from the Pacific on the southwest form the eighth, and finally class of minor storms Is generated In our central val
 leys.
 Some of these storms come across the Pacific from the Asian coast and, after sweeping across the country, go out
 over the Atlantic to Europe and even
 to Asia again. but there Is no record
 of storm having circumna vlgated the globe. But. no matter where these
 storms are generated, they always con
 verge toward New England. New Eng land, In fact, seems to be the stormiest spot in the United States. A record of ten years ending with 1893 shows | 1,143 storms, all of which headed to-
 ward. and most of which reached, New | England.
 The forecaster must consider the gen
 eral configuration of the country In reckoning for cold or hot waves, bliz- zards, northers and other manifesta- | tions peculiar to certain localities. An inexperienced prophet might predict, | for Instance, a long record for a pc | culiar class of Pacific storm, whereas
 many of them come over the seaboard
 and whirl violently until they strike the ! Rocky mountains, when, in endes.yor- | ing to climb the Divide, they are dried | out and dissipated In the upper air and are never heard of in the valley be- | yond. Sometimes they break through
 and head wildly for New England. But the forecaster must know of
 these storm gateways. He must reckon with the climatic properties of the
 "cold pole" of temperate America. that peculiar region surrounding Lake Win
 nipeg, where the range of tempera-
 ture Is 150 degrees. the thermometer ' rising to 105 degrees above In summer
 and dropping to 45 degrees below zero
 in winter. AS Professor Bigelow puts
 1t, the giants of heat and cold stagger
 back and forth across the country lu
 perpetual contest, and the forecaster
 must be good judge of the staying
 power of each.-Ainslees Magazine.

Nothing Lost.

to look into the calm face of the sleep ing benefactress. Reclaimed vagrancy comes and kisses the cold brow of her who charmed it away from sin, and all through the streets of Joppa there is mourning-mourning because Dorcas Is dead. When Josephine of France was carried out to her grave, there were great many men and women of pomp and pride and position that went out after her. But I am most affected by the story of history that on that day there Were 10000 of the poor of France who followed her coffin, weep ing and wailing until the air rang again, because when they lost Joseph inc they lost their last earthly friend. Oh, who would not rather have such obseQuies than all the tears that were ever poured in the lachrymals that have been exhumed from ancient cities! There may be no mass for the dead. there may be no costly sarcopha- gus, there may be no elaborate mauso- leum, but in the damp cellars of the city and through the lonely huts of the mountain glen there will be mourning, mourning, mourning, because Dorcas is dead. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
 I speak to you of Dorcas the resur- rected. The apostle came to where she was and said, Arise, and she sat up!' Tn what a short compass the great writer put that-"She sat up" Oh, what a time there have been around that town when the apostle brought her out among her old friends! How the tears of joy must have started! What clapping of hands there must have beeni What singing! What laugh ter! Sound 1t sll through that lane!

A lady in Harrisburg, Ohio, is frank
enough to say that while she has been
helped, she was not entirely cGrsd in the
change Of food and taking up Grape-Nuts
food. She says she began eating rich and
highly seasoned food when she was young
and followed it until she set up d bad
stomach trouble, with severe attacks of
nervous sick headache.
Finally rheumatism of the joints set in,
and now some of her joints are d-slocated
by the heavy deposits forming about them
and pushing them cut of place, so that
she is almost helpless Her nerscus sys-
tenn was wrecked and the optic nerve af-
fected so that she could not read without
bringing en- nervous prostration and in
somnia that would last two or three
nights.
