Democrats, Organize !

To the Democrats of the United
States:-The democratic party and
its friends must meet the forces of
corruption and intimidation in pol
tiles this year by thorough organiza-
ton. A democratic club or society
should be organized in every city,
town, village and precinct in the
United States. Democrats and all
who are in sympathy with the prin-
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
platform are earnestly urged to join
democratic clubs, or where none ex-
ist TO assist in organizing them.
This work of uniting the forces of
law and liberty into one great sys-
tematized civic army should be car
ried on simultaneously in every part
of the country and without delay.
The friends of government, accord
ing to the hitherto unchallenGed
American theory of political equal
ity everywhere under our flag, can
not afford to be less jealous or less
active than the advocates of an
American colonial empire supported
by rifles. No patriotic citizen can
ignore the attacks which are being
made upon the very foundations of
our present irreproachable form of
government. This year every cit
izen should be a politician. Clubs
and societies should at once commu-
nicate with the ''secretary of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs, 1870 Broadway, New York
City," so that the united member
ship may work systematically in
defense of the republic as the faith
ers made it. All democratic COM
mittees, state and local, are request
ed to aid the national association of
democratic clubs in this work.

Crop Report.

The high temperature and absence
Of rain during the week while
favorable for making the final plow-
ings in late corn and for completing
the work of threshing wheat, also for
saving hay, proved injurious to those
crops entering the first stages of
maturity, when sufficient moisture is
SO essential to their proper outcome.
This is true as TO corn, cotton,
tobacco and some minor early fall
crops. The work of breaking land
for the fall seedlings of wheat, etc.,
has been much hindered in most sec
tiOns on account of the dry and hard
condition of the ground. Early
corn is developing well--except in
the sections where adverse condi-
lions earlier in the season initiated
against its proper growth, the late
crop is now beginning to suffer for
want of rain; and the prospective
yield is largely contingent on the
amount of rainfall within the next
two or three weeks. Cotton, as a
rule, is doing fairly well, the warm
weather favoring healthy maturity,
but the dryness being rather adverse,
causing shedding. The reports from
the tobacco districts are very en-
couraging, except that the latter
paintings are needing rain; the
earliest paintings are ripening and
some have been cut; the absence of
the usual number of worms is a very
favorable feature of the present crop
Peanuts have not made satisfactory
growth and short crop is promised
Potatoes, both kinds, are reported
good. Under the favorable coudi-
ton of sunshine, large quantities Of
peavine and miIlet hay were saved
in good shape. Fruit drying was in
full progress. Peaches are plentiful,
in most sections, but genel ally small;
apples have dropped off so that only
short crop is left. Pastures have
begun to fail; also gardens, owing to
the dry weather; however, at the
close of this report, conditions seem
to be more favorable for rain than
they have been. In the Eastern Di-
vision some good local rains are re-
ported.

Antiuuity of Chess.

Although the origin of chess is EN-
shrouded in considerable mystery, there
is but little doubt that it's birthplace
was in India, and that it is an offspring
of game called Chaturanga, which is
mentioned in Oriental literature as in
use fully 1000 years before the Chris
tian era. From India chess spread into
Persia, and thence into Arabia, and I'LL
timately the Arabs took it to Spain and
the rest Of Western Europe. The game
was in all probability invented for the
purpose Of illustrating the art Of war.
The Arab legend upon this point is that
it was devised for the instruction of
young despot by Ills father, a learned
to teach him that a king.
Notwithstanding his power, was Deepen
dent for safety upon his subjects. The
Greek historians credit the Invention
of the game to Palamedes. who. thew
claim, devised it to beguile the tedium
of the siege of Troy during the Trojan
war.

other art critics, and in the second edi-
ton of Modern Painters he replied to
them. This work was warmly received
both in Europe and America and estab-
lished his fame as writer. Temporari-
ly leaving the subject Of painting, he
turned his attention to architecture and
his next two volumes, Seven Lamps of
Architecture" and ''Stones of Venice"
increased his reputation and made his
fame as critic secure. Volume after
volume rapidly appeared. He was a
prodigious worker. In addition to his
books he was q frequent contributor to
newspapers and periodicals and he soon

were recognized by his appointment as

Slade professor of the fine arts at Ok

SHARP OLD FLORIST
SHOWS A PRACTICAL YOUNG.
MAN HIS ERROR.
A Good Customer Brought Back to a
Sense of HE Duty-Thought Perhaps
a Woman Might Like Flowers After
She Was Married.

He is young and ambitious, and
prides himself on his common sense,
his practical business-like way of doing
things and his sordid earthliness gener-
ally. On his way home the other even
ing he stopped to look in a florists win
dow, and the florist asked him inside
to see some very fine wedding MOWERS
he was sending out. The florist was
an elderly man, with kind eyes blinking
behind spectacles.
''You don't buy flowers any more, do
you?' he inquired as he tied up bunch
of white lilacs and Lawson pinks, and
laid it on fan of feathery green ferns.
mo, / DON'T" said the business-like
man.
You were pretty good customer
year or two ago. Violets every day, and
roses twice a week, wasn't it!''
"Er-I was engaged them and the
practical one laughed and flushed.
''You used to take her flowers every
time you went to see her, didn't you?"
And the old florists tone was more
kindly than inquisitve.
yes"
They're not so very expensive in the
spring"
.Oh, she would have like them as
we'll bought on the streets, as long as
they were fresh and fragrant. She didn't
care for the swell box. She wasn't that
kind at ALL
TOO bad, too bad. Young ladies are
tickle. I suppose she those another in
your stead?"
ooh, no. married her a year ago"
The old florist twisted bit of string
around the stems of some pale rOsebuds
and then he said gently, as if treading
on thin ice, 'you don't love her any
more?"
Indeed 1 do. We're very happy. But
you know the flower business doesn't
go any more"
did she ever say so?' asked the re-
lentless old man.
"Well-um-er, no, l can't say she
did,
"Did you ever ask her about ft?"
NO. I'm kept pretty busy, you know,
with more practical things. | don't
have time to bother about trifes."
The old florist didn't answer. He
dived into the ice-box and came out
with handful OF mignonette and white
tulips. He wrapped them in cornu-
copia of tissue paper and handed them
to his late customer. ''This is for old
times sake" he said. "You might take
them to your wife. and if she doesn't
like them you can bring them back to
me-"
They never came back But the young
man did.-Commercial Advertiser.

JOHN RUSklN.


England's Great Writer and Authority
on Art.
John Ruskin, the foremost of modern
art critics and one Of the most brilliant
contributors to the pages of English
literature, who died recently in London,
began his artistic year with efforts in
pictorial art. He was not eminently
successful, however, but his studies and
practice grounded him in the fundamen-
tails and thus thoroughly qualified him
for the splendid work in criticism which
ultimately spread his fame throughout
the world. His first published work
was his well-known defense of Turner
and modern English landscape painting,
which was subsequently enlarged into
the standard volume known as Modern
Painters which appeared in 1S43. His
theories were strenuously opposed by

Nest Rui,r of watch sprines.

The museum in Soleure, Switzerland,
recently received birds nest made
entirely of steel watch-springs. Soleure
has very important watch industry,
and it frequently happens that lots of
the fine steel shavings are thrown out
in the sweepings. One day a workman
noticed a swallow carrying brilliant
threads towards the nest Upon fur
Their examination it was found that tie
nest, almost four inches in diameter,
had been built almost entirely of steel
springs and shavings. When the young
ones had left the nest for good, and
started with the parents upon their an

fully taken down and offered as a Curl
osity to the local museum.
