The Newspaper Man.

In every city of the land the
newspaper man is an outcast,

Atlantic. He knows more peo'
pie to be a stranger than any
other being in the world. He
has no holidays. His Thanks.
giving is a restaurant. Even the
Fourth of July and Sunday,
servants of the commonest man
refuse him their cheer. The
Fourth of July is the day he
must be in every place at once,
because everything is happening
and Sunday is the day he must
make up things because nothing
is happening. His labors are
our gain. He gets his vacation
by doing another mans work
and earns his living by watch
ing other people live. This
very day aud night turn their
natural backs upon him. The
lamp is his sun by night and he
eats his supper in the morning.
His business is the reflection Of
life. He is the spirit behind the
mirror. What is left to us is
right to him, and right is left
sometimes right side up is uI
side down. The world is all

ed. and the people had been ad.
vised to stay away if they did
not wish to be disappointed.
Fhe Second District was we'll
represented and all from the
District we're fixed to see. at
least one session of the Conven-
ton. TO do this took work and
lots of it, but such true, loyal,
working Democrats as Con-
gresham w. W. Rucker, State
Committeeman Virgil Conkling
and N. J. Winters and others
stood out IN the sun looking for
Democrats from the District
who had no tickets to the con-
vention and when they found
the Democrat without a Tickle t
he was sure to get into the CON-
vention. Such unselfisb work
deserves praise. The delegate S
and alternates from the district
did their part toward getting
the people tickets. If any man
from the Second District failed
to get into the Convention it
was because he did not see
some one of those who were
working. Senator McClintic,
Congressman Lloyd and others
performed similar work for the
First District.

Celebrated The Fourth.

About 200 men, women and
children celebrated the Fourth
with big fish fry on the farm
of r. Fl. Crigler on the banks of
Salt River about 8 miles east of
the historic city of Florida.
They had fish for all and to
spare. This was perhaps the
jolliest and happiest party eel
ebrating the anniversary of the
birth of our grand republic.
There was a beautiful grove to
furnish shade and the good peo-
pie who live near Florida know
how to extend the hand of fell
lowship and word of good cheer
and make each other happy. In
1848, 1849 and 1850 Uncle
Jake Lewellen made trip tC
the Pacific coast. On this trip
he had many experiences and
as he has an excellent memory
he could begin at the first o.
the trip aud give some idea o
what occurred each day. o.
that glorious Fourth he took
great pleasure in telling thu
story of his trip to the COLDER
coast and had large crowd o
eager listeners, because hi
STORY was quite interesting
Thus he helped tomake the da,
not only pleasant but his his
torical "reminiscences mace tn
day a profitable one. Thus tn
jolly crowd had day of pleas
ure and profit and long wi
they remember the 4th of Jul
1900.

Big Enough For All.

The democratic convention at
Kansas City did a good work by
adopting a platform broad
enough and strong enough to
give firm footing to every dem
ocrat in the United States, and
on which hundreds of thous.
ands of independent voters from
other parties can honestly
stand.
1t added to and completed t he
good work by putting upon the
platform an eXceptiona lily
strong democratic ticket, one
that no consistent democrat
will hesitate to heartily sup
port.
1t is useless to deny that
stanch democrats all over the
country watched the proceed
ings at Kansas City with anx-
iety and apprehension with hope
and fears, and at times with
more fear than hope. The tears
diminished as the main planks
Of the platform were read and
the paramount" issues stood
disclosed. Hope became salts
faction when the announcement
came that the convention, amid
the widest enthusiasm, had
placed that st1nch democrat,
Adlai Ewing Stevenson, on the
ticket as companion to the
nominee for president, Villa m
j. Bryan. 1t is a thoroughly
democratic ticket and platform m,
one that can but receive the
hearty approval of every con-
sistent democrat. and thae any
liberty loving American can
vote for with the earnest hope
that his vote will contribute to
it's success.
The democratic convention at
Kansas City exceeded the hopes
of it's we'll wishers and con
founded the expectations of its
enemies. All that remains now
is to push the campaign vigor'
ously on the three paramount
and burning issues of the plat
form-antagonism to imperial
ism, to militarism and to gree
dy and oppressive trusts-ano
in this way to make certain the
election of the candidates, Bry
an and Stevenson, who stand
squarely and firmly on these
planks.-From the Cleveland
Plaiu Dealer.

Reflections OF A Bachelor.

VI "A APchShOANAs
Divorce was made in heaven.
It's a funny thing how wo-
man will always fix her glasses
on better just before she begins
a talk over a telephone.
A woman can never resist
story where the girl wakes up
in the night and finds a hand
some man, escaping from justice
in her room.
When a woman calls or anoth
er woman and finds a man there
and looks mad, she had either
got secret to tell or else she
likes the poor man.
No woman down in her heart
believes that she isn't really as
good looking as a photogra phi
that is lot better looking than
she is.
A man is always afraid to try
to get girl to love him by act :
ing nice to her mother for fear
she will fall in love with him
herself and act mean and jeal-
Gus to the poor girl.
Half the men you meet are
suckers and the other half are
fishing for them.
AS long as you keep looking
at a woman's feet she can never
look you in the eye.
