sunday Dinners Long Ago.

There is royal satisfaction In the birds and
bottles which
Were invented for the tempting of the pal
ates of the rich;
Pleasure turks In fancy dishes that i'm
ported cooks create
For elated politicians who can squander
ten per plate';
But of all the joys that eating brings to
mortais here below
None compares with those old dinners we
SAT down to long ago
The good old Sunday dinners
Cooked for hungry little sinners
BY mother in the careless long ago.
Little Dick was, fond of white meat; Fannie
rather liked the thigh
How we battled for the wishbone, little
Maude and Joe and 1!
Father always seemed to fancy that the
leg was just the thing,
And at last would come dear mother, meek
~ asking for wing.
Oh, the gravy, Oh, the biscuits! What con-
tentment used to glow
In the faces round the table where we
gathered long ago
The good old chicken dinners
Cooked for hungry little sinners
BY mother in the happy long ago!
The robins chirp serenely where the gate
is torn away,
And decay has claimed the manager where
the brown hen used to lay;
They are scattered who once clamored for
the meat they liked the best,
And the grass is growing over two who
long have lain at rest,
But the tender recollection still Is left to
me-, and oh!
To be sitting at the table where we gath
cred long ago!
All, the good old Sunday dinners
Cooked for hungry little sinners
BY mother In the dear dead long ago.

The story that the President has "a
tobacco heart" is promptly and vigor-
ously denied, and it is further said that
there is no danger that he will suffer
seriously from the smoking he does
He smokes fewer cigars than he did
when in congress. He uses only one
brand, and at the most could not be
termed an excessive smoker This re-
port that he has a tobacco heart, said
an administration official was evil
IDENTIFY put out for the purpose of stimu-
lating interest in the vice presidency.
OF course, it is perfectly right and
proper that the person selected for sec
ond place on the ticket should have in
him qualities for the making of a good
president. The President, however is
in as good health as any man in public
life to-day, and he has no complaints
that need cause apprehension
Perhaps too much effort will be made
to squelch this tobacco heart story.
Wouldn't it be we'll to admit that the
President is mortal and to call atten-
ton to the fact that people who have
heart disease often, not to say usually,
outlast those who die with other trou-
bles

Summer picture hats are character
lied by much low scarting and roman

panama order, with natural droop front
end at the back, are already on their
way for garden wear, and the same idea
in much modified size will be seen on
the street in khaki colored straw. These

Hats of chiffon, with crowns built high

to be used. In addition to the heavy

Episcopal Church in Baltimore, last
week, when the question of the use of
tobacco by the clergy was under dis
cussion, II smoke, and I shall continue
to smoke. / don't believe the use of
tobacco is as bad as it has been de-
scribed; / believe it is all a piece of

where that we shall not be ministers

provided for every need in nature, and
I thank God for my cigar" Then the
council voted to drop the tobacco ques-
ton, and to proceed to other and more
important business.

For Mckinley From leading Re-
publican Papers of the West.

The Times Herald of Chicago,
continuing it's editorial attack on
President Mckinley for his atti-
tude on Porto Rico says:
Glow came it that the Presi-
dent, moved by the same impulse
that yet sways the vast majority of
his fellow countrymen, has per
mitted himself to lend his influence
to the preparation of political
blunder that has sent shudder
of apprehension throughout the
Union?
eff congress, and the president
persist in their present course,
nothing can save the Republican
party from defeat next November.
1t will surely cost them the house
of representatives and it may cost
them the presidency.
1T may involve the election of
Bryan But one course is open to
the Republican party. Let it face
the situation with the only spirit
that can compel respect in the
presence of stupenduous and hu-
initiating blunder. Lett aoknowl-
edge the mistake and make hast to
regain popular confidence by I'M
doing the contemplated wrong to
Porto Rico. The only salvation
for the Republican party is through
the gate that gives free trade to
Porto Rico.
"The country looks to President
Mckinley to rise to the full stature
of statesman who dares to ac-
knowledge a mistake and to undo
wrong"

TWO PRESIDENTS.

What jackson Would do To-day,
and What McISinleyisD oing.
New York Journal.
The imperialism of President
Mckinley is becoming more pro.
nounced with each passing day.
He has decided to send Secretary
of War Root to Cuba for the pur-
pose of feeling out" the Cubans
on the question of annexation.
The President wants more colo
MES, more scope, more imperial
power. 1t is apparent that with
but little urging he would declare
void the declaration in the Repub-
loan platform that Cuba shall be
free, just as he has surrendered to
the trusts on the question of the
taxation of Puerto Rico.
An imperial colony in the Phil
ippines, imperial colonies at Guam
ard in the Antilles, and an imper-
ial snobooraoy at Washington seems
to be the inspiration of the men in
charge of the ship at state.
It is interesting to think what
Andrew jackson would do to all the
imperial propositions of Mckinley
and Hay, could he step once more
into his old place.
To the Puerto Ricans he would
say:
"Till your farms and trade with
us without tariff distinctions"
To Aguinaldo he would say;
Surrender and learn the prinoi-
pies of self-government, that your
people may apply them"
To the nations of Europe he
would say:
1--WE propose to dig ship canal
across Nicarauga. It will be built
by our.money and controlled by us.
It shall be open to the commerce
of all nations in times of peace.
When our country is at war, it
shall be closed to the ships of the
enemy. With the management of
this canal the powers of other con-
tinents have nothing to do
But between the rugged Ameri-
canism of jackson and the spine
less trucking of Mckinley there
is great gulf.
