NOTHING holds the renub1

Nothing holds the republican

sire of Il few white men to hold the

prices for their votes at the national

their votes will go a-begging this year,

Root, Mckinley, Davis or the colOred

a Canadian or an Australian has

British subject, and is eligible to seat
in the imperial parliament if any con-
stituency in the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and ireland should
choose to elect him. Mr.. Blake, former

district in parliament. Why should
not the citizens of Porto Rico enjoy

"a, the democrats must obtain 55 votes
in order to elect the president. Where
are they to come from? Can they be
obtained by nominating a candidate
and adopting platform which will re-
pei instead of attracting voters? The
way to victory is by increasing the
popular vote for our candidates, not by
reducing it.
There is not now a shadow on the
prospect of William J. Bryan for re-
ceiving the democratic presidential
nomination. There will be no bolt, as
there was in 1896. But something more
is desirable than that there shall be
no bolt. 1t is desirable that the entire
democratic vote of the country should
be cast for the democratic candidate.
Still more is needed. We want that por-
ton of the republican vote which is in
opposition to the measures of Mckln-
ley's administration. These are the
means of victory and they are within
our reach.-Chicago Chronicle,

Drink Your Soda.SIowly.

Good soda should be slipped. Quickly
drinking off the effervescence, which is
merely foam, an interval of a minute or
two should be allowed before the last
half of the glass is taken. Clerks should
know this. and give customers time
without warning by looks or actions that
they are expected to leave in the shortest
possible order after boiling their soda
and paving for it. a glass of soda so
taken is refreshing stimulus, better
than food in a very hot noon, but tossed
off as most people take it is a recipe for
cramps or indigestion.
Ii it is poor soda, tasting of metal with
the silver worn off, or standing in silver
too long, favored with sirups made from
oranges or lemons whose musty taste is
plain to all refined palates, the less one
takes the better for life and health.
Girls who serve the cheap soda fountains
at fancy stores well know this from ex-
perience, and the old hands rarely touch
soda themselves. The girls behind the
counters who depend on soda to keep up
their strength through the close days in
Jure their digestion by it, and perhaps
owe more of their sudden indispositions
to it than they imagine.-Shirley Dare

There fiourishes in one of our little
New England villages Il society known
as the knights of King Arthur. Its
members are half grown boys. who,
like their namesakeS. the knights of
old, are pledged to lead pure and noble
lives.
The girls of the village had no idea
of being outdone by their brothers. SO
they formed an organization of their
own. which they called the Busy Bee
society. At first there was spirit of
rivalry between the two. but jealousy
had no place in the hearts of the
healthy, active boys and girls, and so
by mutual consent they soon became a
partnership of willing workers and
signed themselves THE Knights of
King Arthur and the Busy Bee socie-
ty."
The girls were linked together by
their common friendship and their
common aim-to do good whenever and
wherever they could.
The boys had taken the three degrees
-gooh. better. best-they declared. as
in succession they became pages, then
