Listen to this plant:
Old Lexington, lie down and rest,
We don't need you at ALL
Canton men are best on earth,
Please help us out this fall.
We've always looked to you for aid,
And never looked in vain;
We've fooled you, too, so often,
We know we can again.
You're such a lot of boobies,
To think that we would let
Your East End common candidates
A single office get.
Till next campaign lie low, my boys,
And put your votes in order;
And we'll elect, beyond a doubt,

Because, you know,you know,you know
The West Ends mighty slick.

THEY DISCRIMINATE.
People of the United States Do
Not Always Reward Mill
tary Heroes.
Special to News-Democrat.

Chicago, April 13.-William 10. Curtis
in special to the Record, says: The
minister of one of the most important
Latin-American republics sees in Ad-
miral Dewey's appeal for the presidency
and its reception by the public very
significant omen concerning American
politics. "It has demonstrated" he said
the other day, that the people Of the
United States will not sacrifice their
highest offices as rewards to popular
idols. They will not consent to mill
tarism in the government of civil affairs
and they will not elevate to a respon-
sible office man who is incapable of
filing 1t, no matter how much they
may admire and respect him, nor how
much gratitude they may feel tcI him for
special services.
"In nearly all the other American
countries" said this South American.
"the military spirit prevails to such an
extent that all our presidents are SOL
diers, and 1t is only at rare intervals
that our governments are intrusted to
civilians. It Is true that In the United
States the election Of soldier president
has followed every war--Washington ton.

Jackson, Harrison and Grant, for exam
ple-but they were selected because of
the great confidence that was reposed
in them by the people. The presidency
was not conferred upon them as a
reward, nor did they gain the power
of the office by the aid of the military.
In nearly all the other American re-
publics it would be assumed that Ad-
miral Dewey must be elected to the
presidency because he is the central
hero of a victorious war The people
would insist upon paying homage to
him regardless of his qualifications, but
here in this country, having confessed
his lack of qualifications. the public
took him at his word and even now,
when he asks the presidency, you do
not hear favorable responses"

tact with the earth somewhere near the
Revilla Gigedo islands in tho Pacific

shadow will rush toward the mainland and
will enter Mexico, near Corrientes, at II
speed OF more than 100 miles minute. In
eight minutes it will have crossed the
Rocky Mountains, and by 7.30 central or
$50 eastern time 1t will have crossed the
Gulf and entered Mexico. Then on 1t will
pass, over lis selected path, until it is lost
again in space.
The period OF totality Of tho eclipse varies
at different points along the track. At the
Rocky Mountains the spectacle will last
but about thirty seconds, and at New Or
leans the period will have been heightened

Origin Of Visiting Cards.

Origin of Visiting Cards.
The use of visiting cards dates
back t. quite an antiquity" explains
Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "Formerl
the porter at the lodge or door Of
great houses kept visitors book, in
which he scrawled his idea of the
names of those who called upon the
master and his family, and to whose
inspection it was submitted from time
to time. One fine gentleman, scion
of the nobility from the Faubourg st.
German, was shocked to find that his
porter kept so poor a register of the
names of those who had called upon
hia. The names, badly written with
spluttering pen and pale or muddy
ink, suggested to him the idea OF
writing his own name upon slips of
paper or bits of cardboard in advance
of calling upon his neighbors lest his
name should fare as badly at the
hands of their porters. This custom
soon became generally established"
