He Does Not Miss Anything the News
papers Have to Say of Him.
Emperor William of Germany main
tains so-called literary office" at
tached to the Prussian ministry for
the interior. which for the last two
years has been under the management
of Herr DR.. Won Flick, Baltic German,
who was formerly chief editor of the
Silesian Gazette at Breslau. His chief
occupation is to read the newspapers
and make extracts and cuttings from
them, which are pasted in a book, the
more important Of Interesting e.trfes
being underlined with red or blue pen
Gil to catch the monarch's attention.
This book is placed on the emperor's
desk daily. The cuttings contain ar
ticles or extracts from articles taken
from the whole of the home and for
eign press. In this way the emperor
can read a dozen or more newspapers
at once. The emperor watches the
foreign press in Paris, London and
New York more closely than he does
the German press. Everyone ac-

witness that he has a perfect knowl-
edge of the standing and general at,
titude of foreign newspapers, particu-
larly of those countries that interest
him specially for political or other rea-
sons. The caricatures published in
London, Paris and the United States
the articles written about him and his
policy-he sees and reads at any rate
the essence Of them. The criticisms
his speeches encounter. the praise be,
slowed upon them-he knows them
all. In this respect he is something
like his grandfather, William I. who
made careful collection of the most
ridiculous caricatures of himself print
ed in France from 1866 onward.-New
York Journal.

THE BABY,s HANDS.
The Care OF Them is mothers Pleasant

The Care OF Them is Mothers Pleasant
Duty.
If the mother would preserve the
beautiful contour and texture of her
baby's soft little hands she cannot be-
gin too early to care for them. AS
it is, however, few girls ever own
manicure set until they are young
women. BY that time, as often as not,
the hand is beyond reclaim. Baby's
finger nails should be trimmed neatly
and carefully from very birth. Dur
ing the first year this will be sufficient
but from that time on the mother will
give them five minutes treatment
at least once week. Any little de-
tached cuticle about the base of the
nails must be trimmed off from day to
day with the tiniest and brightest
manicure scissors obtainable, and the
flesh about the nail pressed away from
it with a soft, old piece of linen. In
this way, the tender, delicate flesh
about the finger tips will become firm
and hard, and the child will not SUI
fer from that painful attliction known
as hang nails. This, while commonly
regarded as most trivial thing, is
nevertheless, the cause of much graver
troubles, ending in nervous diseases
and blood poisoning. Where baby's
nails have been properly trimmed
from birth the habit Of nail biting is
never contracted. Where it has al
ready been formed, however, the
mother can overcome it Immediately
by putting the child through careful
course of treatment. If the nails are
tough enough to stand the operation
they will be filed instead of cut with
scissors, and at first they will be kept
very short. Something will be done
every day, even if it is only to rub
them gently. AS biting the nails is
a purely nervous affection, it is i'm
perative, in aggravated cases, to put
the child under physicians care. If
baby should suddenly display vora-
cious appetite for its finger nails, as
is often the case, even in infants you
can depend upon it that something is
not right, and the physician will prob
ably tell you that the food is not
agreeing with it. Children should be
taught from babyhood how to hold
the hands gracefully and naturally
while in repose, and when using them
to do so daintily. Each time after the
hands are washed a good plan is for
the mother or nurse to not only press
back the flesh about the base Of the
nail as already described, but to also
press the tips of the fingers very firm
ly on either side of the nail, and the
result in few years will be the beau
tiful tapering finger tips SO rare and
so much coveted by everybody, es-
pecially every woman.

The present happy and prosperous con-

the more important principles of the plat
form of 1896.
Fonr years of democratic rule had para

necessary and current expenses of the gov

and patriotic administration Of President

active and successful; agricultural interests
more prosperous and labor more generally

values have been fixed and settled and In

We favor such legislation as will de-
formed for the purpose of limiting produc-

products. All aggregations Of capital
formed for this purpose are detrimental to
the best interests of trade and hostile to
the laboring people. 8$B
The Spanish-American war was de-
clared in obedience to the universal de-
mands under a republican, administration
and the splendid achievements Of our SOL
dlers and sailors In that war formed some
OF the brightest pages in American history.
Cuba has been made free from Spanish
misrule and q stable government es-
tablished there. Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands have become possessions OF
the United States as the Inevitable. and
unavoidable results Of that war, and we
compliment the North Dakota volunteers
upon their splendid record In both the

We congratulate the people OF the coun-

A Model Official.

Some time during the primary can
vas this paper referred to the fact
that s. 5. Smith did not have to ian.
nounce" his candidacy because the
members Of the Republican party re-
allied his worth and fitness and would
be more than proud to renominate
him for county attorney.
1t may with equal truth be said
that he does not need to do any cam
paigning, for the people Of Dickinson
county want him retained in his pres
ent position, place he fills with
credit and honor.
Mr.. Smith is one Of the men who
can be trusted; be is faithful to the
interests Of all the people all the time;
he has never degraded his Office by
word or deed and so we'll is his char
acter known that the people Of the
county have given him the heartiest
kind Of support. Mr.. Smith has
proved his ability. As city clerk
Of Abilene he was kept in the position
as long as he would accept it. They
appreciated it as they always appre.
ciate good service and as they appre-
ciate the excellent work OF Mr.. Smith
as county attorney.
1t is good business sense for the
county to elect man with knowledge
of the law, with judgment and with
ability-it is good judgment to re.
elect Sam Smith and the county will
show that it thinks so by piling up S
big majority for him.
