Daniel Palmer, of Hannibal,
Mo-, wrote his brother, the
mayor of Covington, Ohio. to
know what he thought about
his making bets on Mckinley
carrying Ohio and being elected.
The mayor, elected on the Rep.
ublicad ticket and still a Rep
ublican, advised him not to bet
on Ohio going for Mckinley or
that he would be elected. He
said that the feelings existing
among the Ohio Republicans
against Mark Hanna were very
bitter and that many of them
would not support Mckinley on
his account.
He also stated that Ohio was
in doubt and that it was feared
that it would give its electoral
voted to w. J. Bryan

One Womans Thoughts.

Women live by convention,

Proba bly, Adam and Eve
began with platonic friendship.
Lots of women marry a mush
room lover and then think they
have got toadstool husband.
Life is a struggle in which
everybody tries to get what he
wants and to forget what he
deserves.
At a certain age girl is a lot
prouder of being able to hang
by her heels in a gymnasium
suit before a lot of other women
than of being able to bake a pan
of good biscuits for the family.
No woman is fit to live with
till she is tanned.
After a girl is 90, whenever
she tries to write a poem, it
always turns out lullaby.
The average woman thinks
her husband acts,
You can get the most truth
out of woman when she is
happy and out of a man when
he is mad.
Every woman has a black
silk dress put away some where
that is too old to be any use to
her and so good that she can
never make up her mind to cut
it up.

Reflections of n Bachelor.

Reflections Of Bachelor.
Having fun is not having
pain.
A woman may be younger
than she looks, but she is always
older than she claims.
If truth ever gets fashionable
the marriage system will have
to be reorgauized.
When a man finds he is in love
with another mans wife he
ought to do one of two things
either go away from her or fall
in love with somebody els's wife.
Any man that asks a girl to
let him kiss her doesn't deserve
it.
A girls bedroom is always
sure to have two things in it
some candy and a picture of a
Madonna.
It's a funny thing that a
woman that likes to wear a
rainy day skirt is generally mar
ried to man with a weak voice
AS long as there is one man
who tells her she is pretty, a
woman will believe all the rest
of the world don't say so because
they are jealous.
When you see a lean woman
and a fat woman watching each
otter out of the corner of their
eyes, you can make up your min d
that each one is thanking the
Lord that she isn't built like the
other New York Press.

S35, 100000. 100000 people were
temporarily relieved; but that this
sufficed little is demonstrated by
the fact that in one district Of 2,I2o,-
900 people $4,000 are supposed to
have perished.
From the subsequent epidemic
of cholera the deaths were returned
at 357 900 for Madras, $4,000 foi
Mysore, and $1,000 tor Bombay. In
all, during this fearful period, the
famine commissioners reported that
in the provinces under British adj
ministration out of population Of
100000, 5,25o.ooo deaths took
place in excess OF what might have
been looked for during the same
period in ordinary seasons.
In the year 1897 famine once
more raised its head in the North
west provinces, threatening a Popu-
lation of 8o,ooo,ooo By October,
1907, the total cost of relief had
reached s5o.ooo,ooo, but yet many
hundreds Of thousands perished.
The disaster was quickly followed
by the plague, claiming death roll
of the province of Bombay Of 1907
600; to be in turn succeeded by the
present famine, of the magnitude
and terrible nature of which we are
being daily informed.
1t is computed that from the year
1910. until 1879 India has been
visited in different parts by no less
than thirty>one famines, with a loss
to human life directly or indirectly
OF the truly appalling total OF 27.>
100000. A glance at the map OF
India, will show the enormous ex>
tent of territory subject to these
dread visitations. With the excep
ton Of the strip of coast beneath
the mountains from Bombay to
Cape Cormorin, the greater part OF
the provinces of Assam and Bur>
NAH. together with the deltaic. dis
tricts at the head of the Bay of
Bengal, the rest of the peninsula is
liable to drouth and consequent
famine, with 100000 Of people
at all times on the verge Of starva
ton.
In spite of the vast sums ex-
pended upon irrigation works and
the general development of the
country under British auspices, the
hopelessness of the situation is ex
pressed by an eminent Anglo In
dian authority recently deceased
who says that no compensating in>
fluences can prevent these recurring
periods of continuous drouth with
which large provinces of India are
afflicted. Water works on a scale
adequate to guarantee the whole o.
India from drouth, not only exceed
the possibilities Of finance, but are
beyond the reach of engineering
skill.

The Great Famines of India.

SOHlS STATISTICS iIOlli lilC AHdioA
government reports give an idea OF
the tremendous loss Of life that has
taken place from starvation since
the date when Great Britain inau>
purated her rule in India, and OF
the enormous sums of money ex>
pended in relief works without, as
yet, providing any safeguard against
the recurring calamity.
In the year 1910 Bengal was visi>
ted by a famine, the records OF
which for the horror Of the situa>
ton eclipse any similar narrative to
be found in the pages of history.
The crop OF 1869 being total fails
ure within nine months, it is CONS
puted that out Of population OF
100000 one-third or 100000
perished from starvation and dis
ease. In order to obtain food par
ents sold their children into slavery
until no buyers could be found; for
a time thousands subsisted upon
leaves of trees and grass until even
that source of nourishment failing,
the living actually fed upon the
bodies of the dead. AS if fate
were determined to revel in irony,
it is recorded that while the rainy
season OF 1910 brought an abund-
ant harvest, in the meantime mil>
lions of starving wretches crawled
despairingly from one deserted wills
lage to another in vain search for
food, dying in multitudes through
inability to live through the few in>
tervening weeks that separated
them from their harvest.
The effects Of this famine were
felt for two generations. The chll>
dren and young people having al
most all succumbed, there was no
rising generation to till the fields
So jungles grew up where there
had once been fourishing farms
and villages, and tigers and ele-
plants multiplied to such an enor-
nous extent that their terror
stricken, defenseless population lay
at the complete mercy of savage
beasts.
In 1887 the Northwest provinces
were ravaged by famine of which
it is recorded that in two cities the
inhabitants died at the rate of 200
a day, and in the rural districts hu>
man beings perished by villages.
OF the three great famines Of
1860, 1866 and 1860, in the North
west provinces, Orissa and Bajpu>
tand respectively, 100000 of peo>
pie are said to have been swept
away; in that Of 1866 the tamished
wretches again resorting to canni-
balism.
Bengal was again visited by a
terrible famine in 1873, when g.,
100000 people received daily re-
lief at cost to the government OF
S37,5oo,ooo, and to private charity
of SI,I4o,ooo. On this occasion
the previous opening up of the
country by roads and railways, as
we'll as the heroic relief efforts,
were successful in holding the grim
scourge at bay, SO that but few act
ually perished.
From 1876 to 1873, however. the
provinces Of Bombay, Madras and
Mysore were swept by famine and
pestilence that almost equaled the
disaster of a century before.
