celebrated Stuckstede Bell Foundry Of
St. Louis. The largest, 100 ID, was
given by the society of Christian
mothers. The second bell, weighing
about 640lb, was donated by the Young
Mems society. The smallest, weighs
about 400lb. All three bear suitable

they give the cord of G major.

The democratic candidates are remark =
ably dry in more than one way, Several
speakers and speeches have been an
nounced. Quite a number of people
turned out each time to partake of the
good things promised them, but they
got to see nary man, nor did they hear
anything to flatter their vanity. In fact
all that some Of them got at one time,
was a wet skin.
1t reminds me of one stirring event
that was to take place some years ago in
town somewhere between the Missis-
sippi and the Atlantic. Quite number
of great generals was to be there. 1t
turned out in about this way, as re-
porter put it; General SO and SO WAS not
there. General this and that was not
there, etc, etc. However, one general
was there and that was, general dis
appointment. ELMO.

The Lane that Had No Turning.

Since adventuring into Egyptin ques'
of the raw material of which fiction i
made, Mr. Gilbert Parker's Canadian
fields have been lying fallow. He return
to them, however, with new vigor, an
even fuller power; and the serial whicl,
he has just completed finds him at the
highest dramatic level to which he ha5
yet attained.
The Lane that Had No Turning is re-
markable for its honest strength
thorough originality, and absorbing
interest. The scene of the story is
Pontiac (whither Valmond came), and
the period the middle'fifties. The lead
ing characters are Madelinette, a famou
singer, and her husband, Seignior c.
Pontiac, for whom she dares all ana
risks all. The story gains interest as j
progresses and concludes with striking
and wholly unexpected finale.
The Lane that Had No Turning will
begin in THE SATURDAY EVENING Pos9
for September 20, and run through five
numbers.

not comport with our ioeas of what

force the democratic party to the

bought, paid for, and control the

trusts are putting up the money to
secure his election, knowing that he
is their friend and that he will see
that ways are provided for them TO

the democratic party as their invet-
