Home Folks:-Weu that-air name TO me,
Sounds us the same as poetry
That is eff poetry is jiS
As sweet as I've hesrn tell il IS.
Home-Folks-they' lis the same as kin
AL brung up the same as We have bio,
Without no overpowerin' sense
OF their uncommon consequence,
They've bin to school, but not TO git
The habit fastened on EN- yit
So as to ever interfere
With other work at waitin here:
Home-Folks has crops to plant and pIow,
Err lives in town and keeps co W:
But whether country-jakeS CT town
They know when eggs Is up er down,
La, can't you spot 'em-when you meet
EN- anywnere-in field or street:
And can't you see their faces, bright
AS circus-day, heave into sight:
And can't you hear their "Howdy," cle3r
AS a brooks chuckle 10 the ear.
and alluS find their laughin' eyes
AS fresh and clear as morning skies:
And can't you-when they've gone away
Jis feel EN- shakin hands all day:
And feel too, you We been higher raised
By sicn a meetin':-God be praised,
on, Home-FoIks. you're the best of all
At ranges this terestchUl ball
But north er south, er east er west,
Its home is where you're at your best
It's tome-it's home your faces shine,
In-nunder your own fig and vine
Your family and your neighOOrS bout
We. ana the latchstring haugin out
Home FoIks-at home.-I know o one
Old Teller now at hahn got zone
: Invite him-he may hold back some
Z But you invite him and he II come.

AUGUST THE fine weather has
brought host of visitors to Noun
tain View Tower during the last few
days and the proprietors are cores
pondingly happy. Guests from the
various summer resort hotels were
unstinted in their praise of the mag

One of the most interesting places
at the Park is the famous "Chilkoot

hundred yards from the tower. Nisi
tors to the Park should come prepared
to go through the pass" it will b'
an experience in mountain climbing
never to be forgotten.

SCORING A CONTEMPORARY,

From Hambleton's Circular July 2S.
The sun, when it finds nothing to
criticise, never commends, but en-
deavors to ridicule the Mckinley Adj
ministration. Its editorials are not
funny, they have not the merit of
humor, they are simply pointless and
fatiguing At time when the whole
country is seriously discussing the
awful state of things in China the
sam makes traversty Of it. 1t sug-
gests vaudeville show as a proper
way to mediate. 1t says Mr.. Mckin-
lev should make the Sultan Of Sulu
the head of the Court of Mediation,
with Aguinaldo second in authority;
a fantastic name and part is given
the President of the United States,
with attendants in the shape of buck
and-wing dancers from Hawaii, bolo-
men from the Philippines, reconcen-
tradoes from Cuba, and what not
All this from a dignified, heightened

WITH the exception of two years,
productive of distress, hunger, bank
ruptcy and panic, the destiny of the
Nation has been partially or entirely
under the control of the Republican
party ever since the Inauguration OF
Abraham Lincoln in 1861. During
these forty years the country has adj
vanced by leaps and bounds in popu-
lation, wealth. material, social and in
tellectual development. The trans
Mississippi region has been converted
from buffalo ranges to imperial
States, bridges have been thrown
across mighty rivers, railways have
been built over the mountains, mil
lions of homes have been created,
schools without number have been
built, colleges have been endowed,
human liberty has been extended,
the verdict of the ballot has been re-
spected lin Republican States and
the Republic has a deeper hold on
the affections of its citizens than ever
before, and compels respect abro ad

newspaper which has in the past
been respected and looked up to for
guidance, and supported by the best
sentiment of the community. In the
place of instruction and right con-
ception of things the Sup gives its
readers cheap buffoonery and appears
to be pursuing a course well calcu-
lated to forfeit it's influence and
standing, and ALLEVIATE its best
friends. 1t can be said with absolute
verify that the Sun at this time does
not represent the best class of its
readers; it is simply not in touch
with the thinking people of the COM
munity.

story OF a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst form of slavery, George d. Will
liams, of Manchester, Mich, says:
my wife has been so helpless for five
years that she could not turn over in
bed alone After using two bottles
of Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache. backache, fainting and
dizzy spells. 1t is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Cure guar
