well under way, it being fully a

will put the harvest out of the way

Princes Motor Car.

A representative of one of the Lon
don daily papers was afforded an OPP
p%ortunity lately of a close examina-
ton of the motor car which the prince
of Wales has now added to his stable,
and which he took with him to Ascot.
1t Is a six-horse power Partisan motor.
The engine was entirely constructed
in England. and only the wheels and
axles have come from France. The car
riage body was built in London. The
motor is speeded up to "a miles an
hour. The car is not a fast one, and,
indeed, is slow uphill. but, on the whole
it may be described as an eminently
satisfactory piece OF English work.
manship. and a marked improvement
on the heavy carriages hitherto con-
structed in that country. One feature
which, 1t is understood, the prince has
instituted. is that the steering bar is
hinged 80 that 1t can be swung for
ward. enabling the front seats of the
motor to be entered from either side.
1t is a significant proof OF the social
power Of the prince that a number OF
distinguished persons have ordered mo-
tor cars. The prince is being taught

honor of i%nstructing his royal high.

HI SHOE,

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
L. Douglas Shoe Co, of Brocktor,
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell a shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every a the IS
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able to do this on account Of there be-
ing no middle mans profit, as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In go of the principal
cities Of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths. and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over LOO hands, and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board of
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed, and pay about the best
average wages OF any shoe workers in
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to sl7 AIS per week. This
company makes shoes for men only.
and 1t is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denver

Chinese names are not difficult to
pronounce If n few simple rules are re-
membered. \ always about as n in
far; q always approximately as e in
they; ! very like in machine or pin:
and Il always as the IL of rule. Every
syllable has an independent value. and
shOuld be given that value in pronun-
citation. These three rules will secure
as correct a pronunciation Of Chinese
names as can be secured without oral
instruction.
For example, under the first rule, II
would say tah-Koo for Taku. not take
You. as II may frequently let the
word pronounced; lee-hoong-chahng for
Ii Hung Chang. not lie-hung-chang:
pehkin for Pekin. moi peek-in; shahn-
hah-ee for Shanghai, not shnng-high:
tsoong-lie-yahmen and so on. Under
the second rule Tien-Tsin Is pro-
nounced teeyen-tsin. Iunnan-fu Is
y~oonahn-foo. not ynan-fyu. In like
name all the words are pronounced
with syllable distinctness and with uni
form vowel sound. Under the third
rule, the province name SZechuan Is
sounded not zekuan. but nearly as zeh-
choo-ahn. touching the choo very light

JONES THE SLAVE OWNER.

Many people have wondered why IT
is that, while the Republican party
selects men of affairs ron. the great
manufacturing and agricultural states
of the Union to manage it's presiden-
tial campaign. the Democratic party
selects a man like Senator Jones.
from a state like Arkansas, to be the
head of its National campaign COM

the Filipinos is only excelled by ad-
miration of the way that his dear
friend Aguinaldo and his Tagul asso-
%ciates treat the other tribes of the
Philippines, and held them in subIec-
tion.
But Senator Jones principal quail

which undoubtedly led to his selection
as chairman. is that he comes from a
southern state. n also that while all
the other southern states are progress

steadily retrograding.
Arkansas not only has a greater
number Of illiterate people. according
to population, and fewer savings

steadily losing in wealth. The fol-
lowing figures given out by the United
States Department of Agriculture, Di-
vision of Statistics. relative to the
number and value of farm animals OF

view of Senate Jones deep interest
in calamity. Bear in mind that Ar

Good Things Coming Quickly.

The Southern farmer is in various
sorts of trouble. The price paid by the
oil mills for cottonseed has been SO
high-that is. s1s or $40 a ton-that
the farmer has deprived himself of this
customary fertilizer by selling it, and
he has been obliged to buy commercial
fertilizer at 81 or SO a ton less. But
there is other trouble. The southern
industry is so booming in its lumber
mills, railroads. mines, and other occu-
pations. that it is difficult to get labor
to work the farms, and so a great cot
ton crop cannot be looked for.

Senator william NJ. Stewart of Ne

he had decided to vote for President
Mckinley. He made a statement in
part as follows:
The United States went to wal with
Spain, urged on by the Democratic
party. The popularity Of the war was
such that Mr.. Bryan Joined the army.
The war was successful. a treaty of
peace was entered into whereby the
United states agreed to pay SIC, 900 900
and accept the sovereignty and public
property of Spain in the Philippine
archipelago. There was opposition to
the ratification of the treaty. Mr..
Bryan came to Washington and per-
suaded his Democratic friends to vote
for the treaty.

formed in the United States called the
Anti-Imperialis League. which has for
the last two years co-operated with
Aguinaldo's Tagal junta, with head
quarters at Hongkong, to supply liter
AZURE and materials of war for
Aguinaldo.
The assistance and the encourage
ment he received from the Anti-lm-

the United States. both at home and
abroad, made his barbarous and irreg-

Senator Stewart then quoted Mr..
Bryan's declaration of his intention. IL
elected, to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to give the Philippines
freedom upon the same terms as Cuba
He also denounced the recent conven-
ton of anti-imperialists at Indianapo-

Thus in four years. while the Unit
ed States has prospered md grown In
agricultural wealth, Senator Jones'
state has gone backward to the extent
Of 81 .o63 .662. 1t is to be regretted that
no figures on swine are given for 1900.
But as the value of swine in Arkansas
according to the Department OF Agri-
culture for 1893, was 5 1859, 967. and
and In 1897 had fallen to SO, 1856 ,361,
there is no doubt that the omission
of the figures for 1900 is a charity to
Senator Jones' state.
On January l. 1896. there were
233. SIS horses in Arkansas, on Jan. l..
1900, there were but 234.127. On Janu-
airy l. 1896, there were 145 $40 mules
in Arkansas; on Jan. l, 1900. only 142,-
5s4. On Jan. l. 1896. there were $685.
827 milch cows in Arkansas: on Jan.
1. 1900. they had decreased to 1879. 1886.
OF other cattle there were in Arkansas
Jan. /, 1896, sic. sos; on Jan. /, 1900,
they had decreased to 230,4S6. On
Jan. l. 1896, Arkansas had 1888. 972
sheep. On Jan. /, 1900 there were
only 1903 .957.
1t is well to remark here in passing
that on Jan. l, 1896. the value of milch
cows in Ohio was SIS. APO. 227, and on
Jan. 1. 1900. the value was S25 .224. $50.
and the number had increased from
1895 to 7S0.939. In sheep Ohio had.
Jan. 1. 1896. 2.754,6l3. valued at So 2+7.-
536. and on Jan. l. 1900. she had 2.s39.-
$50 sheep, valued at $40 .s35 $50. The
total value OF horses. mules. milch

Looking at the above figures, seeing
Arkansas. first in illiteracy, lowest in
savings banks. steadily going back

every other southern state is wonder-
fully increasing. 1t is seen why Senator
Jones of that state was selected above
all others to lead in the Democratic
presidential campaign of calamity and
disaster to American industries, prog
ress and prosperity. He is the fitting
representative Of the calamity howl
