the reputation with the force of being tn

he would seize the prisoner by his trou-

The dog helped to arrest so many
''druaks'' that he could tell enc as far as
he could see him, and he would frequently
grab men who were intoxicated and hold
them, when there was not a policeman in
sight On one occasion, according to the
police, he actually attempted to take a
drunken man to the station himself. The
dog barkcd so loudly and made so much
fuss that it sobered the man. after which

A Cuban sIilkm.n.

How many cows there are about
the streets! somebody exclaims, and
then he is calmly informed that the
mornings milk is simply being dcliv-
cred. A bunch Of cattle and their
driver stop before house, and the
portero comes out with cup for the
mornings supply. 1t is seen then that
the cows are being MIXED from door
to door by the dairymen, for this is the
way the acute Cuban housewives have
taken to assure for their tables lac
teal supply which Is entirely fresh and
absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile
loving yender might dilute the milk
before delivering it to his customers,
and craftily stir into the watery fluid
the juice Of the sweet potato to color
1t up to duly rich and creamy cast.
Even with the COWS MIXED before the
door one must continue to watch the
milkman, for have even heard Of
their having rubber bag of water con-
cealed under their loose frocks and
connected with n rubber tube running
down the inside of the sleeve, its tin
being concealed in the hollow of the
milking hand. Only a gentle pressure
upon the bag of water within is needed
to thus cause both milk and water to
flow into the cup Mt the same time.
The milk vendors of Italy and India
have also learned their trade to perfec-
tion, for they practice this identical
trick.-Woman's Home Companion.

Frlshtened by a Poodle.

Perhaps Burns famous line might be
made to read, IA dogs dog for a.

or mongrel, u shaggy poodle would
seem to be about the poorest kind Of
dog for defense. Yet missionary,
whose experience has been among the
savages and cannibals of Africa, says
that his little poodle, Sally, was one Of
his best protectors.
One Of her exploits consisted in put
ting to flight band of hostile natives.
The missionary was travelling some dis
lance in advance of his caravan, &C.
companied only by his boy servant and
Sally. When he came to the top of a
hill large body of Burungi warriors
in full war-paint were suddenly seen
racing toward them.
Calling Sally to him, the missionary
whispered In her ear something about
1"going for them" Then was witnessed
the scene of a small, shaggy dog with
a very big bark, tail in the air, charging
at company of armed men.

East Is a Factor.

Owing to the issues which have
sprung up during the last four years
under the Republican administration
the East is going to be an important
factor in the Presidential campaign.
1t is evident that the Democrats hare
gained greatly in strength at the East,
says the Chicago Democrat, and that
New York and New Jersey may be con-
sidered as reasonably certain to go
Democratic next November.
In 1896 New York gave Mckinley
26S,000 votes over Bryan, and that was
such tremendous republican majority
that Democrats were fully justified in
calling the Empire State "the enemy's
country" But in 1898 there was a mar
velous slump in the Republican ajor-
ity which sank to the slender total Of
$4,000 majority for Roosevelt. Since
then Democracy has been gaining
steadily, and 1t will be surprising if the
small Republican majority is not
wiped out this year.
New York has SO electoral votes, and
these, added to the 20 expected from
Kentucky and Maryland, would make
56 and put the Democrats in a position
of exceeding opulence as to votes. AS
for New Jersey, that State gave Nc
Kinley $4,000 the advantage of Bryan
in 1896, but in 1898 the slump from Re-
publican majorities showed that the
grand old party's majority had fallen
to less than G,OO0.
Now, with New York. New Jersey,
Maryland and Kentucky properly
swung over, the Mckinley electoral
majority Of 95 would be converted into
a Bryan lead of 81. Democrats can no
longer say that the East is "the en-
emys country"

His home was gray old farmhouse,
where he dwelt with two maiden aunts.
one Of whom was weak, fragile in

the other was stout and strong in body,
but ldiotlc and silent. Often he was
tempted to go away-to rush out into

TO the dogs and the old women to the
worlkhouse, but logged sense of duty
held him, SO he stayed and worked on.
One OF the handsomest farms in Scott
County had stretched its green fields
about the old house twenty years ago,
but when Ralph Mydacks young wife
died and left her baby boy, the hus-
band. always reticent, had grown posi-
lively gloomy. His two sisters seldom
heard him speak, but one day, when
the little Ralph was years old, his
moody father said, in strange, stern
way:

Ihose who desire to maintain the gov
eminent Of the United States in the
form which has given freedom to its
citizens and opportunity to all its pco-
pie should fight the Republican party
with unfailing persistency and courage.
Mckinley has shown by his acts that
he Is opposed to the principles upon
winch this government was founded,
and that he favors Imperialism. thing
which is a greater menace to this coun-
try than was the doctrine of secession.
And that the Republican party pro-
poses to support Mckinley and his i'm
perialistic ambitions Is shown by the
platform adopted by the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia. In
all the turgid rhetoric of that document
there can be found no reference to the
declaration of independence nor the
constitution. Both of these immortal
documents are opposed to Imperialism
and, therefore, neither of them could be
referred to by the makers of the Re-
publican platform, intent on establish
ing imperialism in the United States.
All the issues which are opposed by
the freedom loving people of this conn
try are Endorsed. Imperialism. mill
tarism, the trusts and the tariff, to say
nothing of the single gold. standard,
are defended in set terms or approved
by implication. Assuming to denounce
trusts, yet approving commercial COM
bines in the introduction of this resolu-
ton. the platform stands as a weak con-
tradiction to the facts.
During NIcEinley's administration
nearly a thousand monopolies have
been created with n combined capitnl
Of five thousand millions of dollars, and
not one step has been taken by the Re-
publican attorney general or the Re-
