Pockets In STOCKINGS.

Stocking pockets are the latest fad,
a New York dry goods man said the
other day They are made to hold
roll of bills. jewelry and valuables
that can be stored away in small
space. The pockets are worked into
the top OF the hose, above the knee,
and are made with fastening. SO
that there is no danger of their con-
tents falling out. There are so many
sneak thieves who steal from bed
rooms while the family is at dinner,
from carriages and from other places
where women are obliged to leave
their money and jewelry when they
are not In use, that the safe receptacle
about the clothing of the owner is an
absolute necessity. Pockets are not
generally found in women's dresses,
and the stocking pocket has suggested
itself TO some inventive genius. 1t
looks as IL these new pockets would
be as safe as any that could be de-
vised

three years ago today.
No fears Of death did he betray.
But with radiant face.
Gave up all things on earth below.
And was locked in Chrisi's embrace.
Through all his pains al times he'd smile
A smile Of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called MIN home.
He smiled farewell to earth.
BY HIS PARENTS.
His hands were folded.
His work on earth is done,
His troubles are attended,
His heavenly crown is won.

WHY SHE WAS CAREFUL.

Two days go there was at the police
matinee an old negro woman who was
a leading witness against a younger

Recorder no little, and 1t being neces-
sary TO get more witnesses, the case
was postponed until yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Miranda John
son was again arraigned for acting in
a disorderly manner and the old woman
was present. Several witnesses swore
positively that the prisoner was the
old womans child, and the Recorder
turned to the old woman and said:
'old woman. why did you appear to
be In doubt about Miranda being your
daughter the other day?"
"Lawd bless yer. honey Ise still In
doubt bout dat matter" was the re-
ply.
"why?" asked the Recorder who
felt that he had a great mystery be-
fore him.
"Bekase.' replied the old woman,

university students who were pres
snt at the meeting in large numbers
assailed him with questions so numer-
GUS and pointed that he was finally
compelled to answer one who asked
him: slow about free silver?" In
replying Mr.. Bryan repeated:
1--WE are in favor Of the free coinage
Of silver at the ratio of 18 to I with.
out waiting for the aid or consent OF
any other nation On earth"
Many Of the supporters Of Bryan
have been trying to get away from
this thing and have claimed that it
was not an issue and that the DEM
ocratic party was really not very
much for free silver. The declaration
of Mr.. Bryan settles the question be-
yond further dispute if there were
any need OF any further statement
than that contained in the platform.

In the organization of the republic
of Hawaii the natives were excluded
from the franchise by property
qualification. The white men who
were in power pleaded with congress
to continue this exclusion by incor-

The only requirement made by con
gress is the ability to read and write.

By this election is, What shah be done
with the negro In the south? He has
been butchered because Of his politics,
his increasing wealth and his intelli-
