ex-Mayor Bailey testified that he accept

Barber Asphalt Paving Company to sign
a contract in January, 1899. When a
charge was made to this effect some
time ago Bailey denied it.

Training n Lizard and Other AMI

two years" says George L. Walsh in
the Philadelphia Times.
at was n small pine tree lizard.
found it easy to train. The first trick
l taught it was to carry little pieces
of wood, such as matches or tooth
picks, and pile them up in heap. Then,
at word from me, it would run over
the pile and scatter the sticks, an act
that it seemed to enjoy very much.
After knocking the pile down it would
run around and around as If In play.
Another trick that it liked was to
hide itself in a paper bag, and then
stick its head out of a hole In it. 1t
would run all over you, from your feet
to your shoulders, and sometimes it
frightened a visitor by darting up his
back and then suddenly peeping into
his face from in front or touching his
chin with its cold nose.
"After l had taught it many little
tricks like these j made it q suit of
clothes, which, by the way, it did not
take to very kindly. At last, however,
it became accustomed to them, and
then l trained it to draw a little two
wheeled cart, with one Of my pet mice
as driver. AS you may imagine it took
weeks of patient training to get the
two little creatures to perform the
cart act but | succeeded at last.
'Trained mice are very amusing, and
they are not hard to teach If you
handle them In the right way. The
principal thing Is to begin when they
are young, for you cannot train an old
one. Young mice will not fear you; on
the contrary, they will always like the
hand that feeds them.
1.-THE training should not only begin
early, but 1t must be conducted with
much patience and perseverance. The
same thing must be done over and over
again and always under the same con-
ditions. If, for example, you wish to
train the mouse to jump over stick,
you must always touch its forepaws
with the stick first and then help it
over. You may have to repeat this
100 times, but you will at last succeed
In making it understand what you de-
sire 1t to do.
"The same thing applies to any other
animal that you may wish to tame and
train. Some will learn more quickly
than others, but they all seem stupid
enough at first. Rabbits are about as
hard to train as any, but when they
are taught they will perform tricks
that are very amusing. You can easily
teach one to beg for It's food by hold
ing tidbit that it likes very much just
above its nose, raising it little by little
until the rabbit sits up. Then give it
the tidbit as reward. Repeat this
several times and it will soon under
stand that it has only to sit up to
get what 1t wants."

The other day train load of wound
ed and invalided soldiers, fresh from
the Philippines, passed through this
state on their way to the hospital at
Washington. Some of them had been
wounded in battle and others had been
afflicted with tropical diseases, but they
were alike wretched and suffering. At
Harrisburg, the state capital, they
stopped for a time in order to change
from one road to another, and during
the wait they walked about, such as
could, in the neighborhood of the sta
tion. During the period they talked
freely, according to the local papers,
and what they said was interesting.
Of thirty men interviewed by the re-
porters of the Harrisburg Star-Inde-
pendent not one had a friendly word
for Mckinley. Out of the whole train
load of brave men not one will vote for
the reelection of the president, whom
they unanimously accuse of RESPONSE
bility for all their troubles. Ninety out
of every hundred of the men who come
from that far distant and disease infect
eu region are lncufaDly lnOculateQ
with the fevers, and that proportion of
the brave men, sixty thousand of them,
who responded to the call to defend the
honor of the flag will go through
wretched lives to premature deaths be-
cause of their mistaken notion of pa
triotism.
Is it any wonder that these suffering
soldiers are opposed to Mckinley?
Wouldn't any man who knows that he
has been beguiled by false pretense
into sacrificing his health permanently,
entertain the same opinion of the man
responsible for their suffering? If the
president had been just to the people
and faithful to the constitution there
never would have been ten thousand
soldiers sent to that disease breeding
place, and they would not have been
held there long enough to become in
oculated. But McKinley's inordinate
ambition to achieve results that no
other president had attempted betray-
ed him into this sacrifice of men, and
they who suffered are indignant.

The "Fun DInner PaiIy Argument.

Ihe "Full Dinner Pait' Argument.
There is an old and familiar adage
70 the effect that the way to a mans
| heart is through his stomach. Mr..
Senator Hanna in his recent speech at
youngstown, o., in which he told his
hearers that all of the issues of the
campaign boiled down are contained in
the catch phrase, "a full dinner pail. 1"
seeks to extend this saying and would
have us believe that the way to mans
mind is through his stomach. 1t is the
most pitiful trickery to attempt to con-
vince the voter that so long as he has
enough to eat he should not worry
himself about anything else.
The proposition Senator Hanna
makes to the voters of this country ~
that they trample under foot all other
considerations because he tells them
that the present administration has
given this country prosperous times
The crops which the Almighty has
watered into full fruition and the la
borious industry of the farmer and the
workingman have of course had moth
ing to do with a better condition of
things, although the benefits which
the workingman at present enjoys ex-
list chiefly in the imaginations of the
ingenious gentlemen who would per-
petuate Mr. McKinley's maladministra-
ton.
Mr.. Hanna asks the voter to believe
that if under the Mckinley administra-
hp hoc In, he Nf HI INn,
secured food enough for himself and
his family 1t is not for him to bother
his brains about any enormity to which
the Republican party may see fit to
commit the country. He argues that
it is not for the people to insist that her
historical governmental policies be
observed, and that is not for them to
criticize any actions of the party in
power which they may think is drift
ing the republic away from her ancient
moorings. Unless the temper of the
American people is changing very sad
ly they will not submit to any such
bullying, and will assert in no unmis-
taxable terms their inalienable right to
judge for themselves.
1t used to be this kind of argument
which the Republican party was most
vehemently opposed to when some of
the apologists for the institution of
slavery would point to the many slaves
who had plenty to eat and were well
taken care of. 1t was very properly
pointed out that their physical well be-
ing did not alter the fact that they
were held in cruel bondage, which de-
MED them the priceless boon of liber-
ty to own their own bodies, to work
for whom they pleased and to come and
go as they wished. But now Mr.. Han
ma adopts the pro-slavery argument
and seeks to thrust it upon millions of
men, white and black, all through this
broad land, and says to them in effect
why should you worry about the way
this government deals with the public
questions of the day when you have
enough to eat and enough to wear?"

Freely remarked, "Well there won't be

number of barns were burned in

are inclined to think that Freeley set
them afire.
