FUSION.
belongs

1t is desirable that there be fus-
ion Of the silver forces in Colorado
this year. With a national ticket
in the field it should not be hard
matter to get together.
But if the stories that float out
from the Denver press are to be
credited, the chances of fusion are
about as remote as the rich man S
hope of reaching heaven.
We read that the populists are
willing to cast their irresistible sup>
port to the fusion plan providing
the Offices of congressman, scores
tary OF state, state treasurer and at
torney general are reserved for
them.
The silver republicans are also
willing to play if they are given
governor and congressman. They
already have United States sena-
tor.
This would leave the democrats
the offices of state auditor and sup
erintendent Of public instruction to
fight over.
Good thing!
The democratic party isn't a hog
but we opine that it will not be
cut off on such short rations as
this.

THE GERMAN VOTE.

One of the mainstays Of the re
publican party has been the Ger
man vote. Without this support
that party would be weakling.
The German is not fond Of
change. His temperament is do.
mestic and peace>loving. He loves
his family, his pipe and his beer.
Also he loves his native land.
The German, by nature, is a
student. His mind moves slowly,
but the machinery is set to correct
time. He has fixed principles and
fixed habits, and little short Of cata-
chysm will move him to depart
from them.
One of the fixed German habits
is that Of voting the republican
ticket. That habit was formed in
the days OF Lincoln, when the re-
publican party name was associate
ed with glorious work Of frees
dom. Liberty appeals to the Ger
man as to few other people, and
for this reason the creed OF the pro>
hibitionist holds no seductions for
him. He desires much liberty ol
action as is comfortable with good
citizenship, holding to the sensible
view that those who are least gov
erned are best governed.
Coming to new world to escape
the narrow calling life Of the old
the German people or rather the
larger proportion Of them natural
ly driited to the political party
which issued into the world with
the express mission of freeing the
blacks. Thus the republican vot-
ing habit was fixed upon them. and
handed down from father to son.
But in the year Of grace nineteen
hundred it has dawned upon the
we'll ordered German mind that
the republican party of today
is far cry from the republican
party OF thirty years ago-farther
than the sum ofyears would indi>
cate.
He came from Germany to seek
liberty, and sees its boundaries nar>
rowing day by day in the land
which has been liberty's living
spirit. He sees the beloved coun-
try of his adoption drifting into the
policy of militarism which is the
bane of his iatherland. He sees a
so-called republic trampling under
its iron foot the rights Of people
seeking to be free, and reaching
bloody hands across the seas to dip
them into the nasty muddles oi
monarchies. Have his kinsmen in

HOLIDAY TREES IN WISCONSIN,.
Half Million of Them Shipped An-
 nualiy to Dealers in the Easr.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin: Few people realize the difficulty ex- perienced nowadays in securing Christ mas trees for the holidays. Millions of trees are lsed every year in this zepn4'H. < ad each succeeding year finds 1t fas aiilt for the merchants to secure ello.ee trees for the market, owing t1 the rapid advance in clear
 ing the forests of the west. It is es- tlmated that nearly 100000 trees are shipped every year from this state to eastern parties. Theodore Hoffman1. is probably the most extensive dealer in Christmas trees around here. He
 makes a speciality of the business, and says that he will break all records this year in regard to the number Of trees
 shipped east. Already he has several crews of men at work in Marinette county, about seventy miles north of Green Bay, and also in Florence coun. ty. MT. Hoffmann says that in years past he had no trouble in getting all the trees he desired in the swamps 'oVfO 6tS SSH ldy elllu uSt1I IdeI lliSIlGt but now he is obliged to send his men into the backwoods a considerable distance, as the trees cannot be secured now without a great de Il of trouble. The great difficulty now Is getting the
 trees to the railway stations, much
 time being lost in this work. He fig
 ures that he will get out close to 1 ,000,- 000 trees this winter, more than half of this number going to the east. At
 the rate the trees have been disappear Ing of late years l figure there will be a scarcity of them in five or ten years,
 remarked MT. Hoffmann, while dis
 eussing the question. There are few persons making Q speciality of raising them for the market, but it is prob- able that some one will take it up be-
 fore it Is too late. It is really a hard
 matter to get good trees, my men re-
 porting that very few of them are of good size and quality. However, there
 are many swamps where the trees
 grow In abundance, and the owners
 will probably realize that they are
 worth the holding after all, especially

HOUSE BUILT ON A LIE.
The Only Persons Likely to Come Out
 Ahead Are the Lawyers.

On a leading thoroughfare of the East End stands a fine storehouse, with gables and corners and towers, says the Pittsburg News. It looks well from distance, but as you approach it you notice that 1t is unfinished. It's architectural beauty is marred by patches of rough stone and brick and able places. These spots were to have been covered by fancy" work of some sort had it not been for a forcible illustration of the truth of the old saw, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" The man who ordered the house to be built was fairly well-to- do. He wasn't wealthy, but he was earning comfortable living. He got letter one day from Germany 1n- forming him that he had fallen heir to $500,000 by the death of hitherto unknown person, to whom he was next of kin. The fortune was both unex- pected and unsolicited. A correspond- ence was opened with the lawyer Wao sent the news and the papers and let ters received from him seemed to prove the claim of the Pittsburg heir They put such a good face on the matter, at any rate, that he was able to bor- TOW money on them. His first thought vas of a palatial home, into which he Intended to put S100,000 of the money. He began the building of 1t before ne got the $500000 in his possession. l. is elaborate in design outside and magnificent inside A bathroom was built in it that is a work of art. 1t IS of marble, art tile and silver-plated fixings. It is said to have cost $5,000. The mural decorations, or at least those that are finished, represent an expenditure of twice as much money. Everything inside was on the same ele- gant and ornate scale. The money to keep the work going, pending the set tlement of the German estate, was raised on mortgages and on what might be called "expeetation notes,
 for they would not become payable, or rather colleetible, until the eXpecta- tions of the maker were realized. One of the men who had Q mortgage be- came suspicious of the German for tune. There was an inquiry made and 1t was found that it existed solely on the paper furnished by the lawyer in Germany, who had been retained in the case and was receiving money for expenses incurred in prosecuting the claim of the heir. The work on the house was tied up Neither the exter- for nor the interior was finished. It stands that way to-day and the cost of it so far has been $75,000.. lawyer, or an alleged lawyer, started the game, and the only persons likely to come out ahead in it are the other lawyers who are now getting into it. The house, it is said, will remain in it's present condition until it gets through the courts.

 have been pondering the problem of feminine money-making occupa- tions, and among the unexplored fields believe piano tuning to be just the thing for musical women, for it is generally conceded that womans ear is finer than mans, although one musician of my acquaintance takes ex- ception to the statement. However, 1 say to him that fewer women than men sing off the key and play out of tune. Piano taning is not hard work that Is, 1t does not require any amount of physical exertion. 1t does require a correct ear, a knowledge of music and degree of skill which can be acquired from teacher in the tuning line like any other trade. There are many houses where a feminine tuner would De preferred to man, and not the least reason why the compensation to both sexes should not be equal. It is one of the few fields where the com petition is even. 1t disturbs me grea ly to note the difference In salaries paid to men and women who do the same work. Often the woman has a family dependent upon her, and while the man has nobody in the world on whom to spen7 his money, yet her sex, not Ter ability, debars her from earning 'is much money as the man whose esk adJelns hers. I am rather lukewarm on the srhieet of womans rights be- cause l believe that in the main our sex has great many privileges, more than is good for us sometimes.l There are few things in which I could wish an improvement. and the salary ques- tlon is one of them.

Its Miniature Log Cabin at the Bottom of the Brook.
 Perchance during some summers stroll your steps may lead you by a i sparkling, woodland brook. Here pause a moment, and placing your l face close to the surface of dark and quiet pool, look closely at the bot tom. Among the sand and pebbles you will see a number of small bundles of sticks and little cylinders es tiny stones, moving about as though en- dowed with life. If you take them
 out, however, they are apparently dead and entirely devoid of motive
 power. But break them open, and you vsl find each one to be little tube lined with soft and shining silk, and containing whitish caterpillar-like larva. This, then, is the solution of the puzzie-when the grub wishes to move about, he projects the forward part of his body from the tube and crawls around, dragging his house behind him. But the moment he is disturbed or frightened, he draws
 back into his safe retreat, wherein he remains hidden as long as danger threatens. You will find the little tubes of various kinds, shapes and sizes. Some are cylindrical, made of sticks placed lengthwise, while others
 are like log houses of straw. the pieces
 being fastened crosswise. These min
 iature log cabins are often decorated
 with tiny snail-snell fastened to the walls, and moreover, the shells are not
 always empty. Quite often you may
 find living snails securely attached,
 and thus compelled to move about at
 the will of their landlord. Other tubes
 are built entirely of bits of moss and
 leaves. The commonest forms are
 those composed of little pebbles or
 grains of sand. These are usually very
 regular and smooth cylinders, in which
 the grains are all of nearly equal size,
 but among them you may frequently
 find some with several larger stones
 fastened to either side in a very euri-
 ous manner. By far the prettiest
 houses of all are shaped like little
 spiral shells and are composed entirely
 Of almost microscopical stones.-

FROM A MONASTERY TO WAR.
Trappist Novice Enlists In the Army for
Service In China.

Trappist Novice Enlists In the Army for
Service In China.
Two weeks ago Oscar Bachstetz was
a novice in the monastery of the Trap
pists at Gethsemane in Kentucky un-
der the name, Fra Stanislaus Rose. AT
present he is Privte Bachstetz of the
Hospital Corps of the United States
army, enlisted for service in China or
elsewhere for a period of three years.
The son of a wealthy Austrian
manufacturer, Bachstetz has been in
this country for nine years. He at
tended college for a year at Quincy,
H., and when the war with Spain
broke out he enlisted in the Hospital
Corps and served in the hospital at
Jacksonville. While at the hospital Of
the AleXian Brothers he first became
interested in the Trappists, and as
soon as he could get his discharge
from the army he went to Kentucky
and became a novitiate. The Trap
pists have absolutely no communica-
ton with the outside world, and are
even forbidden to talk among them
selves on any subject whatever. 1t is
said that not three monks at Gethse-
name know the name of the president
of the United States or that of the
governor of Kentucky. An old piece
of newspaper which came to him
wrapped around a package of religious
books Fra Stanislaus Hosea found the
first news which had reached him out
the outbreak in China. At once he
started for Louisville to enlist in the
Hospital Corps. AS he had not taken
the final vows of the Trappist order
he was free to go. AS soon as his term
of enlistment expires he declares that
he will return to Gethsenane and re-
main there for the rest of his life,
