SILVER REPUBLICANS
RETURN TO THE FOLD

Med. Brooks, Teller candidate for
sheriff In 1899; Senator Thomas,
William q. Bates, L. A. Lang,
w. s. Mayfreed and two hum.
dred other Silver Republicans e2
Denver have organized o
straight-out Republican club and
will support the administrators
of President Mckinley. Their
reasons are:
"The Silver Republican party
cannot live beyond the present
campaign. The Democrats now
use its friends, not to advance
the cause Of binetallism but sim
ply and only to elect Democrats
to office, and In Arapahoe county
to elect ticket that is not cred
liable to any party. We, there
fore, hereby unite to form re-
united Republican club in Ara
pahoe county to assist In the cleo
ton of the Republican ticket this
fall"

GENERAL LEW WALLACE
OUT FOR MCKINLEY

General Lew Wallace, Of Craw-
fordsville, Ind, who has fire.
quently criticised the Republican
administration, has declared in
favor Of re-electing President
Mckinley. He says:
"I shall vote for Mr. EcKin-
ley, and shall vote for the en-
tire Republican ticket. T shall
vote for Mr.. Mckinley because
the thought OF the election Of Mr..
Bryan is abhorrent to me for sew
eral reasons. In the first place,
I hold the man insincere, for no
candidate can take nominations
from three parties without i'm
tending to fool some one in case
Of his election.
In the next place, Mr. Bryan's
4 financial policy Is one which, If
put in effect, would bring disas-
ter and ruin on the country.
Free silver is a menace to the
business interests Of the country.

In the Democratic party for men

A PRACTICAL JOKE.

81 don't think I'll try any more prac
tical jokes on my wife. They don't
pan out WELL"
''Elucidate.'
"You see, she is in the habit of hoist
ing the window in our room every
night. AS usually go to bed last she
depends on me to hoist it. Sometimes
forget it and then there's a wild
squabble. Frequently she wakes me
up in the night and asks me to see if it
is open. If I don't, she nags at me un-
til morning. A night or two ago 1 re-
solved to give her hard scare. I roll
ed up lot of old newspapers into a
long bundle and laid the package down
by the window. OF course, she was
asleep and didn't hear me. Then 1
opened the window little ways and
crept into bed. Some time after mid
night she nudged me and said: Jim,
I'm sure you didn't open that window
it's like bake oven in the room. Get
up and see.' So I got up, went to the
window, and threw the sash as high as
it would 60. AS 1 did so I gave a lit
tie shrek and then flung my bundle
down to the walk below. 1t struck
with quill thud and I lodged behind
the curtains to await developments.
The room was very dark and ]
couldn't see my wife, but heard her
raise herself to a sitting posture. Then
she spoke. Poor old Jim,' she quietly
said, hes tumbled out of the window
in his raggedest night-shirt. What q
spectacle he'll be when they find him
in the morning!' Then she lay down
again, and went to sleep"
"What did you do?"
"Stood there shivering for a minute
or two and then sneaked into bed."

ABOUT THE HOTBED.

When you read this, it will be time
to make the hotbed if you want one.
You can raise nice lot of early radish,
lettuce, tomato and cabbage plants with
very little trouble. Find some shelter
ed corner of the premises exposed to
the south and protected from the north
and west by fence or building. Make
board box the size you want the bed.
Fill it with fresh horse manure. Pack
it down firmly. Throw two or three
pals of water on it. Cover it with six
inches of good soil. Lay your sash on
with slant enough toward the south to
shed the water. AS soon as the bed
begins to get warm pack the earth down
firmly and then SOW your seed. Water
freely. Raise the sash on warm days
and look out for cold snaps by covering
the sash with some hay or an old carpet.
What you may raise in such bed will
well repay you for your trouble.

K. Beecher, of Elmira, N. Y, brother
to Henry Ward Beecher, got into some
sort of quarrel with man named
Smith, down at COhOes. Thomas X.
Beecher wrote the presumptuous man
a defiant little note, saying curtly:
"Do you want to get into Il quarrel
with the Beecher family?"
And the man wrote back with a
snarl:
'Do you want to fight with the Smith
family?"
And no Beecher could stand that.
Thomas K. laughed and hastened to
make terms.
