the little one nevertheless does not
| thrive, there is a reason for it.
| Babies need exercise as well as grown
/ persons.
See that the little ones clothes do
not restrict it.
Long skirts and tight bands will re-
| taTd the baby'S physical development.
The dragging weight of the long pet
ticoats upon the tender feet is some
| times so great that it permanently
! weakens them and predisposes them to
deformities.
Don't let the baby be in one positions
! constantly.
See that it rests comfortably and
change it from side to side.
ThOughtless persons frequently lift
babies by one hand or both, and Occa-
siOnally a doctor finds that the baby'S
shoulder has been dislOcated by Just
such unintentional improper handling
of little limbs.
Nurse girls not much older than the
babies themselves have also caused
spinal diseases by carrying the poor
infant committed to them so that the
spine is not properly supported, and an
unnatural flexion is produced.
The baby should be trained to use
his muscles as nature intended.
He should not be overencouraged and
never forced.
| baby will try to use its hands as soon
as it begins to notice things.
After a little it will succeed in NOV
| ing itself toward the desired object.
AS it gets strength it becomes ven
| turescme and will almost roll over in
its delighted attempts to reach some
especially attractive lauble
Next it will creep, and finally, with
out any ones aid the healthy baby
will find the real use of its legs and feet
and will of its own accord and with
out assistance from any one, stand
alone and finally walk.
This is a most important time in the
baby's life. Don't urge him to bear his
weight upon his little feet until he is
able to do so without danger of bend
ing the tender bones and forever more
being bOwlegged.
Let the BABY take his own time in
learning to walk.
There's really no hurry. Better a
great deal a strong, straight-legged
boy who did not take a step till ne was
70 months old, than bandy-legged
son who broke the record by running
away at 8 months.
Remember that bones are the frame
work of the body, and they must be
built of the right materials, for which
the baby must get the proper food.
If the bones are not composed of the

is added to the long list of deformed,
ill-shaped children.
The poor little baby without will or
power to resist, unable to choose good
habits from bad, even sitting or lying
in the attitude chosen for it by some
one else-was there ever a living thing
so helpless?

OLD TIMES.
nEnnnnn EinIdN

Eugene Field.)
There are no days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake EN-!
AS buXom and smart and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-!
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
A piety aIl-supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
Taught school, too,
And they made the hkeliest courtin'!
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the willowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-wil
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave US!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace God gave us!
So we dream old dreams of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder.
As those dear old dreams bring soothing
OF heaven away off yonder.

bands Of Wea, Peoria, Kaskaskia

paw agency, to those Indians of
the tribes to whom allotments
have not been made and to chill

made. To each person is to be
allotted no greater amount OF land
than has heretofore been allotted
respectively to members of the
tribes. There is a proviso by
which tracts allotted to individual
Indians, who have died or who
may die without heirs shall revert
to the tribes to which such Indians
belonged and be disposed of as the
general councils may direct.
The secretary Of the interior is
also directed to sell surplus lands

The wars of America have, here
tofore, settled affairs of state
Great questions of policy, Of ma
tional moves and national conclu-
sions have been answered as soon
as the battle smoke cleared away,
and the victor realized by his vic
tory. The war with Spain is un-
like its predecessors. 1t has not
answered questions, but has crea-
ted problems which may not be
solved lightly. The result of the
campaign of 1900 will make a
broad mark upon the page OF his
tory; it will doubtless establish the
policy of the great Republic OF
America for quarter of a century.
1t is vastly important, therefore,
that every citizen shall study the
situation through that best OF me-
diums. a great newspaper. The
most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is The Semi Weekly
Republic, which affords compre-
hensive view of the political situa-
tion in all its bearings. 1t pub
fishes the new news. The Semi
Weekly Republic is democratic
paper, but it offers to its readers
the news regarding all the politi-
cal parties, and this without pres
judice.
The subscription price of the
Semi Weekly Republic is s100

papers are now being offered at the
very low price of $3.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate

Newspaper MeuI Unpopular.

A contemporary has lately said
of the Atchison Globe, that while
that paper has its good points it
makes enemies every issue. The
Globe in the following reply de-
fends itself, but evidently is a
little hurt and draws the case rath-
er too strong. 1t is true, however,
that good newspaper must not
look for universal approval, nor
will it ever be without bitter enc
mics. II is well enough that edit
ors are not popular, for the editor
looking for an Office is no good as
an editor. Here is the Globe's
bitter reply;
Every newspaper makes en-
.emies every issue; tit unavold-
able. The mere narration of the
news will make enemies for a
newspaper every day.
There never was apopular edit
or. There are plenty of worthy
men who run newspapers, but lack
of popularity is a part of the bus
mess. Editors seldom run for Of
; fee; when they do they are defeat
ed. Horace Greeley was one OF
the greatest men this country ever
produced, yet when he ran for the
presidency he was SO badly humil-
lated that he Ged.soon after.
An editor is not necessarily a
mean man because he is unpop-
ular; every man who runs a news
paper must expect to be unpopu-
lar. and to be delt with unjustly
by the people. Ascertain Atchison
woman came to the editor of the
Globe four times, and requested
that her husbands name be kept
out of the paper. Her request
was granted. She came the fifth
time, and her request was refused,
because the mans offence was
a serious one. Since then the
woman has abused the editor with
out sense or fairness The fault is
the woman's, not the EDITORS; she
is not grateful for favors granted
her four times in succession.
Every newspaper that succeeds
and secures a large circulation
tries to be as fair as possible. A
newspaper is never as bad as its
enemies make it out. No decent
paper ever sells its opinions: it
simply could not afford to--honesty
wouldpay better--but every news
paper is accused of blaekmailing.
Mistakes in a newspaper are una
voidabse, but they are never made
Intentionally, and are corrected as
soon as possible.
The Globe is often abused when
ii does not deserve it. There is
no business in the world more dis
agreeable than running a news
paper, but some men learn the
business while young, and can do
nothing else. Every editor real
ICES has unpOpularity; every man
who goes into the newspaper bus
ipess must do SO with the under
atanding that he will be bated.

Utilizing Waste Lands.

The division of forestry is in consulta-
ton with three important railway COM
panies over contemplated innovation
in American railway methods. These
roads-the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul,
and the GAINESVILLE & Ohio-are consider
ing raising tie and pole timber on large
scale on their now non-utilized right o.
way lands. Other large western roads
are also interested.
This action is due chiefly to the failing
OF the natural supply OF this material in
all but the newer portions OF the United
States. About one million acres of tim
Der are consumed annually by railroads
in buildings and repairing, and, at the
present rate OF timber depletion, the in
creased cost of such material will soon be
serious factor in railroad economy.
The Santa Fe line has already done some
experimental planting, and the results
have done much to stimulate interest.
This road planted 1880 acres in catalpas
fifteen years ago. The totalexpense was
$12S,000; but it is estimated by the
railroad officials that in ten years more
the tract will have produced So $50, 900
worth of poles, ties, and posts.
Having become convinced of the neces-
sity OF growing their own timber, the
railroads naturally wish to take advan-
tage of the assistance offered by the gov
eminent to tree planters-which consists
of expert advice, and of the working
plans for planting, based on personal ex-
animation. The object OF the govern
ment is to demonstrate the value of tree
plantations to land owners, especially
those in the treeless regions of the West.
