SAVAGE INSTINCTS.
South African Natives Grow Excited
Over Shedding Of Blood in
the War.

One of the assured effects of wal
is the rapid spread of contagion for
bloodshed. Savage tribes and civilized
nations are alike affected by it.
As soon as the two white races in
South Africa attacked each other and
blood was shed, the native tribes
which had been conquered by them
began to show signs of excitement
and restlessness. Basutos, kaffirs,
Zulus and other tribes, which had
been living in peace, were infected
with frenzy for revolt and warfare.
The bad example of their white SUI
periors lighted up the evil instincts
and passions of these savage races
that before had been held in abey-
ance.
The effect of the war in South AT.
rica was similar in promoting Euro
pean intrigue and jealousy. During
the summer peace congress had
been held at The Hague, and a strong
appeal had been made to the moral
forces of Christendom. With the out
break of war there was an imme-
diate reversion to old-time habits OF
suspicion and underplot. The humane
policies of '.the Parliament of Man.
were forgotten. Russia and France
found themselves cheek by jowl in
intrigues for harassing England and
carrying out secret projects of their
own.
If Germany remained in the back.
ground, it was because secret un-
derstanding existed with England by
which she was left free to pursue ag-
gressive policies of her own in return
for her apparent lack Of interest in
what was going on in the Transvaal
The contrast between the Europe
of the peace congress and the Europe
of the Transvaal war is striking
one. By a single fash Of militarism

Dried Beef.

The more common way of serving
dried or smoked beef is to. shave it into
thin slices, raw, or perhaps warm it up
in little milk gravy, but a more savory
dish is prepared as follows: Put the
slices of beef into frying pan with
just enough water to cover them and
simmer for few minutes; drain off
the water and cut the meat into sew
eral bits. Return to the pan which
should be hot.
Three cups of sweet milk and one OF
sour, with a tablespoonful of butter
and little pepper. Have ready some
well-beaten eggs, allowing four to a
half pound of beef. stir them into the
pan with the minced meat and toss and
stir the mixture for couple of min
utes. Sent to the table hot in covered
dish.-Detroit Free Press.

THE SEASONS SILKS
Very Heavy Are Some, the FoaIaHas
Are Lovely and So Are the
Ga0ze1.

One might spend day at the silk
counter and then not De through with
the list that goes to make up the
seasons silks. There are very heavy
weaves. but without suggestion of
stiffness, there are the spring foul
ards, the gauzy silks, like liberty, and
silk crepes and silk muslins, and now
elites in broeading, and embroidering,
and lacy stripes that were never
shown before
Pearl-white silk is having great
vogue just now. specially pause at
She foulards, because the woman who
is somewhat in doubt as to what is
incest to get for the extra bodice that
she feels she cannot manage without
will know that nothing is put before
the white, plated, silk bodice for
style and general smartness. Some of
these waists are tucked in groups, or
run with narrow cords, and others
have the fronts accordion-plaited.
This last is the most stylish of the sew
eral popular ways. The backs OF
these bodices are cut without center
seams. The white silk bodices that
are intended for ordinary everyday
wear have shirt-sleeyes put into 9
narrow cuff, while those for more
dressy wear have dress sleeve that
goes over the wrist with faring
cuff. The dressier of the waists have
round, tucked yokes, with handsome
white silk appliques cut out in diff

evening waists.
Select for your white bodice q silk
that is heavy and soft. The thinner
| silks for this purpose are not near
| ly SO fetching. There are, however,
other beautiful little white bodices
that are made of the decidedly gauzy
stuff. Crepe de chine is one of the
best liked, and the crepe bodices In
all the pale shades are dainty and
pretty for youthful wearers.
The spring foulards are simply
beautiful, both as to texture and
colors. The blues are in the softest
shades, and the greens are most
artistic. Lace and velvet are used
a great deal in thei- trimming. The
corselet belts are coming in again.
The shape of these belts, you know,
is high in the front and narrow at
the back. On the foulard gowns these
look especially well, and they are
made both of velvet and lace. One
dear little dull green foulard has .
corselct belt maze of alternating
4 stripes Of cream silk lace insertion
and inch-wide green velvet ribbon.
White satin is used great deal for
the yokes and facings of foulard
gowns. One foulard that will be

ringed about with white. The trim.

of blue chiffon, heading wide blue

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

nerson's Greed.

st. Louis Republic.
Inasmuch as the first platform pro-
mul@ated by the repub lican party de-
clared for a continued American ad-
herence to the American creed held
by Thomas Jefferson, il is well for re-
publicans whose AmeIicanism has not
yet been destroyed by n surrender to
the evil doctrines of imperialism and
trustism to strengthen their oppOsi-
tion to these malign things by recall
ing the teachings of jefferson, hon
ored by their party in its viriIe days,
1t is plain that Thomas Jefferson
would be found unshakably opposed
to trust monopoly were he living in
these times. Il hope" said that
strong American in one of his wise ut
terances. I'VE shall crush in it's birth
the aristocracv of our moneyed cor
porations, which dare already to
challange our government to trial
of strength and bid defiance to
the laws OF our country" And again
and how applicable to the republic
can lawmaking which created and
now fosters the trusts-he says: ITO
special legislation we are generally
averse, lest a principle OF favoritism
should creep in and pervert that of
equal rights" And this: "Moaop-
olizing compensations are among the
most fatal abuses which some govern
ments practice from false economy"
And. finally: Il do not like Gin the
new federal constitution the omis-
sion of a bill of rights, providing
clearly and without the aid of soph-
isms for restriction Of monopolies. "
jefferson. during whose admjnistra-
ton. and by whose own act, the
Louisiana purchase territory was ac-
quired. was assuredly an anti
imperialist and anti-militarist. Con
quest is not in our princi-
pies, " he said; lit is inconsistent with
our government" Again: Govern
ments derive their just powers from
he consent of the governed Also:
ITO take part in European conflicts
would be to divert our energies from
creation to destruction. And this:
We did not raise armies for glory or
conquest" And this bears strongly
on the Mckinley Hay Pauncefote-
Anglo-American alliance: Honest
friendship with all nations, entang-
ling alliances with none" Also, as
luu4CdlluE no" OSASISOu WOulu siduu
in relation to the republican scheme
for the creation of big standing
army: "A naval force can never en-
danger our liberties. nor occasion
bloodshed; a land force would do
both"
These faithful American savings of
Thomas jefferson, the author of the
declaration of independence, should be
kept fresh in the minds of every true
American during the present cam
paign. They bear with prophetic
force on the issues now engaging
American attention. They cannot be
nullifed by McKinleyite abuse of JEFF
ferson as IAN unsafe man, "a dema-
gogue," "a wind-bag poser, man
who appeals TO discomfort and an
archy"-the sort of abuse that is lev
eled at Mr.. Bryan They are the say
ings of q great American whose mem
ory all Americans delight TO honor.

Culture and Bloodshed.

The Anglo-Saxons, if the subjects
of Victoria and Uncle Sam may be
classed properly as Anglo-Saxons, be-
lieve that they are at once the highest
types of the worlds highest civiliZa-
tion and the greatest opponents in the
game of wholesale massacre. It's
strange how much pride the highly
cultured nations take in the brutali-
ties of their characters. That has
been the rule from the beginning of
the world. The thirst for culture and
the thirst for blood go hand in hand.
The latest exemplar of this fact is
Japan. The clean little men OF the
little islands of the far east have
aroused the world by their wonderful
strides in civilization in the last half
century Their strides in war have
been even greater. When the mika-
dos armies drove before them great
hordes of Chinese and his ships sent
the navy of China to beach and bot
tom, the great world applauded, but
it asked. at the finish, if the new ma
tion had not been overrated. and the
war experts decided the victory was
over too weak foe to give the Jap q
standing among the worlds greatest
warriors.
But since the outbreak OF the Box
ers. the world has seen the Jap fight
| ing by the side of the trained soldiers
of tho old countries and not once has
his work been inferior. In fact, there
has been no engagement in which il
can be said he was excelled and in
most of them he has been superior
TO his allies.
Is the Anglo Saxon to be relocated
to the ranks of the has-beens by the
little Jap? Is the Terry McGovern
among nations going to make a Peter
Maher of the bio fellows?

FARMERS THE VICTIMS.
They Suffer Most From the EItor-
lions of Combines and Trusts.

They Suffer Most From the Extor-
tions of Combines and Trusts.
There is no one who suffers more
from the growing nomination or the
trusts than the American farmer. With
in the past four years the various con-
trolling trusts have raised the price OF
nearly every necessity of teamwork
and the farmers home, while there
has been no corresponding increase IN
the price of the products which the
farmer has 10 sell.
If the farmer buys a pound of sugar
a gallon OF oil. a pound of nails or any
farm implement, he must pay the trust
price. but when he sells his butter, po-
tatoes. grain and other produce he can
not fix the price in arbitrary trust
STYLE. but he must accept that or
connective market based on supply
and demand.
The trust system works only one
Wav-aeainst the American farmer.
Within the past four years trusts have
been multiplied and grown all power
full. The Hanna-McKinley admins
tration has been friendly, and monop-
oily mas taken advantage VI It's OPPOA
tunity.
The formation of q trust means that
competition in the industry embraced
is destroyed and the consumer placed
at the mercy of the resulting monop-
oily. Within four years the various
trusts, in order to further swell their
bullying treasures and increase their
dividends on their stock, have increas-
ed the prices on the following articles
which are necessities TO the American
farmer: Barbed and other wire 1or
fencing. nails. harrows, ploWs ano
plow points, horse rakes. moving ma
chimes. reapers. furniture, roofing ana
building materials, mems clothing
dress goods, underwear, coal, glass
cutlery, tlnware, wall paper, kerosene
oil. leather and leather goods. salt
sugar. brooms. crockery and many 9th
er articles.
