CHILDRENS' COLUMN.
A REAL PRIZE PARTY.

Once there was an old lady who
lived in little cottage on a hill who
had no one but her daughter, who
was dIess makeer, to support her.
Her son had died. Several boys as
sembled and one said, "let us go and
give the old lady prize party for
her daughter is sick and her wood
pile is nearly gone. If all will help
we can get her load of wood and
some nice presents beside. Well,
said Ned, l am with you, l have ten
cents, given me to spend for candy
and I'll put that in, Harry said we
have plenty of wood and l will ask
my father for a load, Tim had half a
dollar with which he expected to buy
some oranges, but he generously gave
it up, and Will, who had a dollar fol
his Christmas, forbore the pleasure
of spending it, to aid the lady.
So they put the money together
and bought some vegetables and 9th
er things, and started for the house
on the hill, taking with them the load
of wood. When they arrived there
they went i'm, laid their bundle:
on the table and also gave the ole
lady some money. She was over
whelmed at their kindness and coult
hardly find words to express hel
thanks. "She said dear boys, l thank
you very much and if it is ever pos
sible | will try to return the favor. y
The boys replied that they were more
glad to afford her pleasureand relieve
her wants than if they had selfishly
spent their money for their own graf
ification. They then piled up tht
wood neatly and made nice path t
the spring SO the old lady could ge
water. Soon after they were telling
the other boys what splendid TIM
they had at their prize party. KAT

Young Mrs. Torkins walked into the
studio with a timid yet resolute air /.
But when she sat down in response to
the invitation of the lady who gives
lessons her assurance left her. She
collapsed and famed herself with a

put the case in your hands and get you
to tell me what to do. The girl / got
from the intelligence Office six weeks
ago was perfectly lovely at first. She
never broke anything nor took any
thing that didn't belong to her, and
was as polite and considerate as could
be. She let me come into the kitchen
whenever l wanted to, and II | express

The fault-finders, who could say
nothing good of the Administration
during the Spanish war, are silent
on that subject now. The British
losses in q single battle in Sonth
Africa are greater than those of the
United States in the entire war with
Spain. showing how absolutely un-
founded were the charges these
malcontents made against the con-
duct of our own war. The fact that
men would be willing for purely
partisan reasons to embarrass an
Admir- istration, and thus the Gov
ernment, in an hour CT national
struggle and peril ought to bring to
them and their associates the con-
demnation and contempt of every
thoughtful citizen, irrespective OF
party.

Democratic leaders are wondering
what will happen next The effect
of Mr.. Bryan's premature stand upon
the expansion question, from which
he is now trying to boat retreat, is
causing havoc among Democrats,
who do not now know how they
themselves or even their leaders
stand upon public questions. Mr..
Bryan has thus far made no decla-
ration side tracking silver, though
most of the political discussions are
devoted to other topics. Silver, it
is claimed, will not be put to the
rear, but rather otlier issues brought
foremost. The distinction is trfle
hazy even to the minds of the faith

Democratic newspapers and
statesmen who are scolding about
Secretary Cages course in deposit,
ing public money in banks are
omitting to say word about the
fact that this course was followed
under Democratic administration,
and that they had no occasion to
find fault with it then. OF course,
their attack is merely political one
and for political purposes. If the
Secretary were to carry out their
plan, he would be compelled to pile
up in the Treasury the surplus
which the successful revenue law is
now bringing in, thus reducing the
amount If money circulation, for all
of which, of course, he would again
subject himself 60 the criticism of
the people whose sole occupation it
is to find fault with the Administra-
.tion.
