She Shocked Papa.

Washington Post: She was a dream
of dainty girlhood, all in softest
white, with great rose-laden hat on
her exquisitely poised head. She was
with an elderly man, whose features
were her own, dipped in several lay

table within ear shot of me, and he
beckoned to a waiter.

Maize shook her head

That's all right" said Maize, and,
glancing at the waiter, she delivered
her order.

And papa's gasp was drowned in
the music of the orchestra.

left must look out for his rights.

The republicans seem to be very

The republicans seem to be very
much puzzled as to what sort of q
campaign they are going to make.
Criticism of the democratic platform
only rolls up votes for democratic
success. The republican platform put
forth at Philadelphia has practically
been dropped on account of the quar-
rel which it precipitated in the party.
1t was promised that McKinley's
speech in acceptance of his nomina-
ton would be the real platform. The
speech has been made and it is even
weaker and more apologize than the
Philadelphia platform. Mckinley,
though not usually conscious of his
own Weaknesses. evidently feels that
he failed to say the convincing thing.
for lie vaguely promises to write u
formal letter later in the campaign,
which will discuss in detail the party
platform.

Seattle Times: The burden of the
republican managers in the campaign
will be to defend the party against
the charge of drifting toward impe-
rialisn. Hitherto they have sought
to ridicule the suggestion into insig-

many prominent republicans becomes
known it is quite evident that the is

One of the most striking peculiari-
ties of the attendance in the public
schools of Manila is the great excess
of boys over girls this being true of
the high schools as we'll as of those
of lower grade. 1t is a manifestation
of the local belief that. while eduea-
ton may be desirable for boys. it is of
little use for the girls All they need
to know is their catechisln. This dig
parity in the school Attendance of the
sexes may be lessened. however, be-

Washington Special: The republi-
cans seem to be very muc:l worried
because the democrats did not make
issue in the platform adopted ut Kan
sas City.
The making of Imperialism the para
mount issue puts it squarely up to the
administration to defend it's course
since the Spanish-American war. The
lack OF inclination shown by the re-
pu5liclns to discuss or defend imper-
lalism and militarsln is apt TO i'm
press the voters unfavorubly.
Today the war department is the
most active one of the whole govern
mcnt. President Mckinley has almost
made up his mind to return to WASH
ington and spend the summer at the
white house in order to superinten,l
bis latest unauthorized war with
China which seems to be naterializ-
ing day by day.
The Chinese complication is simply
another outgrowth of imperialism. OF
course the actual plan is masked un-
der am assumption OF concern foi. Cur

are tactiully put.
But prominent democrats pointed
out months ago that the gathering of
munitions OF war at Manila was not
so much for the purpose of conquer
ing the Filipinos as to be ON hand in
case developments in China warranted
u violation of the Monroe doctrine and
u participation in the international
scramble for the partitioning of
China. The fact that campaign is
ON makes the administration extra
cautious about publishing its plans IL,
regard to China.

Dies Moines, Ia, July 25.-The Iowa
section of the government weather
bureau has issued the following bull
letin for the week ending July %:
The average temperature of the
past week was from to degrees
below normal, and there was less thar;
the usual amount of sunshine. Elk,
ccpt in portions of the southeast dis.
trict the soil has been thoroughly sat,

siderable local damage resulted td

The benefits resulting from these
copious rains, however, very greatly
exceed the losses caused by excess
Corn is steadily advancing, giving
promise of more than IN average
yield. The pastures are fresh and
succulent as in early June. The afs
termath of the meadows promises to
recoup the losses sustained III the hay
harvest. Negotiation generally is uIr
usually green and vigorous for the
midsummer period.
The markets are abundantly sup
piled with early apples: but the win
ter apple crop is likely to fall consid.
erably short of the premise during
the blooming period.

Is one Of the curious reflex" or sym
pathetic" pains excited BY trouble in
some other part OF the body.
Sympathetic pains are often very de-
csptive. Not infrequently they lead
even the most skillful physician into
error. directing his attention away
from the offending part toward some
perfectly sound portion of the body.
A common example is seen in the case
Of hip disease, where the pain is almost
always complained Of. not in the hip
where the Inflammation is, but in the
knee. In heart-tire, OF dilated heart
caused by overexertion, there may be
quite sharp pain at the root Of the neck
on the left side, or in the left shoulder
and extending down the left arm. A
very common accompaniment Of dis
ease Of the liver IS pain at the tip Of the
right shoulder and beneath the right
shoulder blade.
The presence Of pain in definite
place, but at a distance from the seat
of disease, in the instances Just men
toned, is so well known TO physicians
that It is utilized in the diagnosis. A
pain in the knee, for example. often
serves 10 excite suspicion of hip dis
ease. But there are other times when
the pains are erratic, and IL is then that
they cause confusion.
A decayed tooth may be the cause,
not of toothache, but of an earache.
Again, it is not uncommon for person
with pneumonia or pleurisy to COM
plain of pain in the side OF the chest
opposite that where the trouble is To-
Gated. And nearly all of US have occa-
sionally been surprised when a finger
or toe has been bruised to feel mo-
mentary pain in the back Of the head
or over the brow.
Headache is a common form of SYM
pathetic pain. being often caused by
trouble in distant parts, as the stom-
ach, the liver, or some other internal
organ. One Of the commonest causes
of headache is eye-strain due to astig-
matism, and in every case Of frequent
and persistent headache, especially in
child, the eyes should be examined
by an oculist.
Sometimes remedies applied 10 the
seat Of sympathetic" pain viii give
relief, but oftener they viii not, and it
is only when the real trouble is discov-
cred and treated that the pain Is over
come.-Youth's Companion.
