 DECENCY VIOLATED. Mrs. Au- Eusta R. Fitz Simons, vice-president of he Young Women's Christian Associa- ion, and prominent in church work in Chicago, says:

PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS. N, portion of the country is more :mme diately concerned in sustaining the nX pansion policy of President McKinle! than the states of the Pacific coast.
 While the south produces the cottOy which is being shipped in snch eEor nous quantities to the Orient, whil other sections are sending manufac- lures of every description. the coas1 i sending acIos the Pacific its owI flour, fruits and manufactures. Besides this, we are handling the ships ilf which the exporting is done. Our own manufactures have ranged from min ing and other machinery to a com pleted 5,000-ton steel man-of-war for the Japanese government. Every line of industry has benefited and we eX- pect by the esta ablishment of closer commercial relations to increase both our population and prosperity.
 The Pacific coast has long been on the edge of the country. Today it is the center of the American trans-Pa- cific trade. We have reached out be- yond for business. We can control the trade of the Pacific. That is why we are all expansiOnists.
 The growth of the trans Pacific trade is a matter of recent years. Not more than ten years ago the Canadian Pacific company established its first line of trans Pacific steamships. Prior 'to that there were six steamers plying from San Francisco in the Japan and China line. They brought from the Orient tea, mating, silk, rice and the endless line of articles that are inn ported from Jaran and China. They carried back silye" in the form of Mex ican dollars and bullion. some proYi- sions, and flour which was taken along for ballast 2s well as to fill up the cargoes. The establishment of the Ca nadian line primarily for military purposes and secondarily for traffic, threw a good many San Franciscans nto mourning. To them, they thought the end had come. San Francisco was to lose it's Asiatic business. Then fol- lowed in rapid succession the estab- ment of new lines from Portland, the Puget Sound ports and San Diego.
 Our merchants awoke. Instead of six steamers plying from San Fran cisco the number has been added to- The demand now is for large boats and better boats, and the trade from the Pacific slope is many times what it once was.-Senator George c. Perkins,

One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window Of Mrs. Nansen's-wife of
the famous arctic eXplorer-home at
Christiania- Instantly the window
was opened and IN another moment
she covered the little messenger with
kisses and caresses.
The carrier pigeon had been away
from the cottage 80 long months. but 1t
had not forgotten the way home. 1t
brought a note from hansen. stating
that all was going we'll with him and
his expedition in the polar region.
hansen had fastened n message to
the bird and turned 1t loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
bliZzardy air. 1t flew like an arrow
over n thousand miles Of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles of ocean and plains
and forests. and one morning entered
the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she
bad been awaiting so anXiously.
We boast of human pluck. sagacity
and endurance. but this loving little
carrier pigeon. in its homeward flight,
after an absence of 80 months. accom-
plished a feat so wonderful that we
can only give ourselves up to the
Amusement and admiration which must
overwhelm every one when the mar
velous story is told.-Atlanta Constitu-

Brushing a Derby Hat.

Some men will buy two or three
black derby hats a season, and these
will always look rusty and old Other
men will buy not more than one n
year. and that will never lose its deep
and brilliant gloss.
III tell you why 1t Is" said one Of
the best dressers in town the other

his hat with n stiff bristled whisk, and
the other LBS his softly with n piece
of wooden cloth. The felt of n hat is
such Il delicate stuff that stiff whisk

that currycomb or n rake would have

Pronounced n Secret of Human

It is by no means impossible that
| the newest world lecturer will allude

| form. The one meal Il day plan was
successfully practiced by some S0,00O,-
900 men Of the h2althiest. wealthiest
and most Intelligent nations of an
tiquity for nearly 1000 years.
No unprecedented observer can deny
that for the vast plurality of our fell
low men there is no other practicable
way to live up to the principle of the
sanitary maxim, Never to eat till
we have leisure - digest" -
Nine out of ten laborers have to hr-
~ from the breakfast table to their
daily work and cannot count upon
more than few minutes of afternoon
meal rest. The same in rolling mills,
shipyards, railway yards, workshops
and schoolrooms.
Less than a years time would suffice
to give the one meal habit the force Of
n second nature, and those who would
like to form an idea of its universal
observance during the classic period
of antiquity should read Peter Bayle's
dissertation on Domestic Life In
Athens and Rome" or De Quincey's
humorous essay, published in the sec
ond volume of miscellanies under the
title, Dinner. Real and Reputed."

A Telegram That Talked.

At one time when the late George
Drew Barrymore was playing in San
Francisco n fabulous sum was offered
her by local theater for her services
for n few weeks. The offer was eX-
ceedingly tempting. but her contract
with Charles Frohman stood in the
way. However, on the nothing ven
ture nothing won theory, she tele-
graphed q detailed statement of the
offer she had received to Frohman in
New York. explained how anxious she
was to accept it and wound up with
the plea. viii you release mel" In
due course of time she received the
following telegram in answer:
Mrs. George Drew Barrymore. Palace Hotel, San
Francisco:
No! CHARLES FRoHMAS.
Albeit disappointed, Mrs. barrymore
at once sent this characteristic reply:

An Extraordinary Island.

In the bay or Plenty, New Zealand.
Is one of the most extraordinary IS
lands in thc world. 1t is called White
island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and few other
minerals. Over the island. which Is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 500 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation of 10000 feet. In the center
is n boiling lake of acid charged water
covering 90 acres and surrounded with
blowhoIcs from which steam and sui
phurous fumes are emitted with great
force and noise. With care boat can
be naviGated on the lake. The sulphur
from White island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure 1t Systematically.

His Life For a Hand.

In little town or village in Glouces-

contains the mortal remains Of one of
the old Crusaders. In mOldering eff
figy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eioQuence Is imaged
the form Of his wife. 1t win be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft of one Of the
hands. and the story runs that the
Crusader while fighting in the east.
was made a prisoner OF war and
brought before SaIadin. who. before
executing Judgment upon him. asked
him If there was any reason why lie
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave 4 newly welded
wife. who would bitterly mourn his
loss.
1.-THE love of woman Is as a feetinS
breath" retOrted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. We'll. then"
replied Saladin. II Will promise on my
oath as a soldier that II this mans
Wife will cut off one Of her hands and
send il TO me l will set him free to
go to her" BY tedious and slow jour-
neyinGs the message came. and she, in
all piteousness for him who was her

be cut of and sent it to the sultan,
who kept his word and set the Cru

restore equal rights on the transporta-
ton lines engaged in interstate COM
merce:
This is one OF the principal remedies
whereby the fusion forces are to fight
the trusts. II will remove the principal
cause OF the mOnopolists' production
and trade and thereby restore competi-
tive prices.
To insure the peoples control Of their
national laws the reform forces are
pledged to the election Of United States
senators by the people. But. greatest
OF all. and a sure Indication Of the gen
uinencss Of their fight against the mo-
nopoIists. is the plank for the transfer
OF the veto power from the president of
the United States to the people
Mr. Rryan's sincerity and devotion to
the peoples cause are shown in the
pledge that If elected he will not ac-
cept second term. but will turn
against the trusts the whole power of
the president and his appOintees.
The voter who knows the foregoing
facts and pledges. and then votes for
the party that admits nothing can be
done against the trusts until a consti-
tutional amendment Is obtained. is so
deeply a partisan that he prefers en-
sIavemcnt to the brute trusts TO free
dom at the hands OF the fusion party,
n party that quotes Abraham Lincoln
and stands on the same platform which
he stood On-the equal rights Of man.
TyrantS of old used weapons OF
steel with which TO enforce their cruel
demands The trust tyrants Of today
use methods crueIer still. They do not
kill the men who dare disobey their
dire demands. They use their power
TO starve his wife and babes. More
than $4,000 men have been laid off
within the last two weeks with the
threat that if Bryan is elected they
cannot return to work. Can such
things be and the republic endure?
