Many Americans leave home to go
TO Europe every year to see sights
which are discounted by those at home.

distance'of 4 = miles, while by GO

mile, the maximum grade being ,320
feet.

pulsion of a Bicycle.
Here is an apparatus which the in
ventor claims will greatly aid in the
propulsion of bicycle, the device
applying the principle of increased lev
erage by longer throw of the cranks
during the forward and downward
movement 1t is easy to understand
that the longer the cranks the greater
the force which can be exerted in the
propulsion of the wheel, but with the
increase in length of the crank comes
the disadvantage of compelling the feet
to travel in larger circle, which
stretches and doubles up the leg of the
rider beyond the point of comfort.

castle, where he completed six years
course in four years, graduating with
first honors. After serving as princi.
pal of an academy at Thorntown, Ind,
and as superintendent of public schools
at Lawrenceburg, he was called in
1869 to the chair of English literature
at De Pauw. He was transferred later
to the chair of history and political
philosophy. He became n conspicuous
figure in the college world.
In 1875 he published his first book, an
Academic History of the United States.
1t was an immediate success, and still
holds its place as Il text book in many
schools. In 1876 he published his Pop.
ular History of the United States, a
large octave volume, which has been
published also in German. He wrote
the Life and Work of Garfield, of
which $4,000 copies were sold. His Cy.
clOpaedia of Universal History was
published in 1850 in four large octave
volumes.
In 1885 he resigned his professorship
in De Pauw and the vice presidency of
the university in order that he might
devote his whole time to authorship. In
1893 he published the Life and Work
of James G. Blaine, and in 1894, his
most comprehensive and philosophical
work. entitled Great Races of Mankind,
in four volumes. He was engaged for
ten years in preparing the material, and
four years in writing this work. In
1898 he published the Life and Times of
Gladstone, and supplement to the His
tory of All Nations for Webster's Die
tionary. He was for a time editor of
the Arena magazine of Boston. His
monographs are numerous. In 1896 he
consented unwillingly to run for Con-
gress on the Democratic ticket in his
home district in Indiana. Though he
ran ahead of his ticket he was defeated
by a small majority. In recent years
he had been engaged in the preparation
of complete and elaborate history of
the United States.

the Rpaeious Brown mansion. No. 36
East s3lth street, for on the East Side
Miss sBgown can minister to the poor
and can comfort the sick. Miss Brown
may be called the "Ministering Angel"
of the East Side.
Miss Brown can shine in New York
society as few women can. But society
has no charm for her since one day two
years ago, when she had occasion to
visit the East Side. There she saw
sights that wrung her heart. Helpless
little children lying about the streets,
poorly clad, half-starved mothers, some
Ill, all unhappy, were new to Miss
Brown. After arriving at her home
Miss Brown declared that her mission
in life was to be trained nurse and
to help the poor and suffering. No ar
gument could persuade her that her
place was to shine in society. Miss
Brown took course in nursing at the
Presbyterian Hospital. So many rich
girls take up nursing as fad and then
give 1t up when the hard tasks come,
that it was not thought that Miss
Brown would continue long. The bank
er's daughter is not of that kind, how
ever. and she soon proved herself one
of the most efficient nurses.

Speaking OF runaways I recall one
that has a place in the history OF the
town of Osceola," said man in the
Pittsburg News reporters hearing.
up until the time that my friend
Mattern came home from college no
one in Osceola had ever acquired the
silk hat habit. OF course strangers
came to the town wearing stove
pipes but courtesy and hospitality
protected them. But Mattern came
home determined to force silk hat
on the people of the town whether
they would or not. Not content with
wearing it on Sunday. he wore it on
week days and kept on wearing 1t I'M

but the rest of the family were against
it. He had fast horse that he drove
through the town every nice evening
and the fellows in front Of the hotel
said there wasn't a street in the whole
place that he didn't pass over. That
was for the purpose of showing on,
they said, for he invariably wore the
hat. They were talking one evening
Of having the vigilance committee
wait on him with formal warning
that he would have to cease to wear
the hat. when he was seen coming
down the main street as usual with his
horse and buggy and the hat. One OF
the town boys, taking his usual throw
at the hat, struck the horse in the eye
ana maddened it. Of 1t started and
Mattern could not hold 1t. He tried to
swing in at the hotel corner to avoid
dangerous hill farther down the street
and there was an upset. Both he and
he hat were thrown and he landed on
top of it. The crowd in front OF the
hotel gave a yell Of delight. Mattern
was instantly forgiven. He was picked
up and carried into the hotel and two
doctors attended him. The hat,
shapeless wreck, was kicked about the
street by men and boys in a delirium

between 1891 and 1898. There was
decline of 1923 In the following Dem
ocratic years up to 1897 And since

protection to the American wool grow
er, the value of each sheep in Idaho
has increased by $1.53. With over "a
million sheep in Idaho in 1896, their
total value was but $4,000 more than
the half. million sheep were worth
there in 1892 With not quite three
times as many sheep at the beginning
of this year as there were in 1895. this
farm stock has increased nearly six
times in value. Western farmers
should study these facts and decidei
before November, IL they want any
more free trade destroying the value
of their flocks. Idaho is simply an
example of conditions in every state
where sheep are grown.

Newspaper Veracious Description of n
Wedding.

The Palmyra (Mo.) Spectator under
be expected were editors sometimes to
speak their minds Here are a few
of the Spectators samples: Willie
Shortike and Bette Boomers were
married at the - church last even
ing. The church was very prettily
decorated with flowers and pottted
plants, borrowed promiscuously from
over town from people who didn't
want to lend them. The decorating
was done under protest by some of
asked to do so by the bride and
couldn't we'll refuse. The ladies are
of the opinion that IL the couple were
so bent on having a stylish wedding
they should have been willing to have
paid some one to chase all over the
town for a day getting flowers to-
gether and then taking them home
again. The bride wore a handsome
Silverstein gown, made at home, and
the groom was decked out in $40
hand-me-down suit. The ushers wore
cutaway coats borrowed for the occa-
sion. Sallie Potts was made of honor.
and the consensus of opinion was that
she was two-to-one better than the
bride. The. young couple took the
morning train for St. Lous, where they
will spend more money in a few days
than Willie car earn in three months.
Willie says that now he's married he's
going to settle down. Some of our
merchants think 1t would have been
better II he had settled up first. The
groom gets salary of SGT month.
which is about the allowance Betttie
has been used to for pin money. We
wish for Willie's sake that the old
saying that it takes no more to sup
port two than one wasn't lie. The
bride sent us shoe box full of con-
glomeration of stuff supposed to be
cake. II this is 4 sample of Bettie's
cooking we feel SORROW for Willie.
Our janitor's dog fell heir to the cake
and now he's lying in the cold, cold
ground. But this wedding is none of
our funeral. II Willie and Betttie are
satisfied we've got no kick coming"

MONEY OUT WEST.
Great Growth In Bank Deposits Within
the First Five Years.

Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wy
oming have made remarkable pro-
gress on the road to wealth during the
present Republican administration.
This is due to several causes, such as
the increased demand by manufac-
lures for mineral products now that
the policy of protection gives the home
market to homemade goods. Another
reason is that protection to wool has
doubled the value Of the farmers clip,
and all of these four states are wool
states. Still another reason is the es-
adjustment OF the gold standard,
which gives us stable currency and
more settled business conditions. Add
to these three main causes the gen.
eral prosperity OF the country which
has created better demand for farm
products. and the reasons have been
assigned for the great increase in the
bank deposits of those states, as shown
by the following table:
