Dishes That Break

The crying demand OF the times is a
dish that will not fall out of girls hands
and break Women who keep help in
their kitchens do not make the complaint
of broken dishes more often than the
woman whose daughters do the dishes"
AS soon as a man gets half dollar saved
it has to 60 for meat platter or pitcher
which his daughter dropped. and there
probably isn't family engaged in house.
keeping that dosen't have to make weekly
visits to a queensware store. In some
homes the daughters are fined for every
plate they break, but the father has to
give them money to pay back to him in
fines. so that he is always the loser. If
a man is put in good humor by his dinner
the crash OF china heard from the kitchen
ten minutes later drives his good nature
away --Atehfson Globe.

One of the most inhuman practices
known is the extremely heavy shoe for
the horse doing light road work The
only purpose is to secure unnatural fold
of the knee. Let the weight of the shoe
be proportonate to the service the horse
is to perform. The man who puts on a
heavy shoe in the spring, thinking it will
be about right by fall, may save little
on iron, but he wastes terribly In bone
and muscle. The lighter The shoe, the
better, provided it enables the horse to
do his work at least waste to himself.

RUIN WROUGHT BY CLEVELAND.

The Boston Pilot tells how Cleveland
ruined us, as follows:
When President Grover Cleveland
went out of Office at the end of his sec
ond term he left the country no bigger
than he found it. He had even refus-
ed to accept free gift of Hawaii, on
the ridiculous ground that the donors
possessed no title to the property
He left the country paramount on
the whole continent, made so by the
means of his Venezuelan message.
He left the regular army as small as
it had been even during his first term.
He is not remembered by single
war tax.
Not one revenue stamp exists as
souvenir of his administration.
In the eight years of his baleful rule
he did not secure a single "sphere
of influence" in Asia, Africa or the
Antarctic.
Consequently there is not so much
as a 1-cent war tax on telegram mes
sage or express receipt to attest his
glory.
He had no DESTINY" to guide him.
And no Mark Hanna to guide the
Destiny.
He did not know enough to buy into
bloody war, 1000 miles away, for 800,
900, 900 entry fee and the privilege OF
spending half million day in devel-
oping it.
He did not confer Benevolent Assim
ilation on any black or brown race IN
the East or the West
He would not even know Benevol-
ent Assimilation if it appeared to him
in its funeral garments.
He did not know that we had imper-
ial interests on the continent of Asia
which should be protected by our army
and navy.
He had no conception of our response
bility as world power in Guam. He
never heard of Guam.
He was a no-account old fogy, who
wanted the country to keep within its
means and its boundaries. That is
why and how he ruined" his country.
And Bryan will be just as bad.
