the Democratic party will only put on
guard and place in authority those who
have elung to it and staid with it in all
reports Out of six and one-half mil
lions of men who have not bowed the
knee to BaaF it is hardly to be sup
posed that all suitable material for
leadership is wanting or that no trus-
tee can be found with sufficient ability
and fidelity to execute the party's
trust. Let us not despair nor become
dissatisfied with ourselves nor hope
less for the future.
"All this talk of reorganization ETC.,
is puerile and untimely. Every sug-
gestion of change in party name Is
inopportune and distasteful to the
faithful adherents of Democracy. 1t is
true the party has suffered defeat, and
this is fully realized and deplored by
its loyal membership and those of 9TH

the first time in the party's history
that its enemies were victorious. 1t
has more than once felt the humiliation
Of defeat. but it has seen triumph and
vindication. and it will see them again.
1t has witnessed the downfall and de-
struction of too many parties; it is too
ancient and we'll founded; it has too
many precious memories and has con-
tributed too much to the cause of good
government. constitutional order and
popular liberty to permit itself to dis

Millions spent In Amuse,,,er,s.

''The American people are great thea
ter goers and spend about $112, 100000
annually for such amusements,' said a
prominent theatrical manager to the
writer recently. This vast sum of
money is paid into the treasures of
some 1000 companies, which were esti-
mated to be playing in all parts of the
United States last year. This includes
everything that can be considered
strictly professional companies. to say
nothing of the countless amateur or
ganizations.
"Of the strictly theatrical organiza-
tions 1t is safe to say that the average
receipts per night for the 1000 compa-
MES is $400 each. At seven perform
ances per week for each company the
weekly average would be $500. The
average theatrical season is 40 weeks.
The entire 1000 companies, with aver
age nightly receipts of $400, would
produce weekly receipts at seven per-
formances per week amounting to ST.
100000. This multiplied by 10. the
number of weeks in the theatrical sea-
son, will yield gross receipts amount
ing to Sill, 100000, which is probably
far below what the people OF this coun-
try really do pay every year for the
Rtrical amusement" Washington Star.

OF all forms of human effort and
execution scolding is the most useless.
When a parrot, chipmunk, squirrel
or bluejay scolds he is ludicrous. For
people to scold Is ludicrous. too, but
with a difference, and assuredly the
difference is on the unfavorable side
1t never did and never will do any one
any good. 1t has done much harm.
Besides, scolding grows to be habit
We have all suffered because of tile
shortcomings of some one else. re-
ceiving tremendous TRADES over what
we had no hand in, because we hap
pened to be present when the scolding
habit was yielded to by one of its vic
tins.
Scolding is easy. 1t takes neither
power of brain nor heart to scold. 1t
does not even make any great draft
upon the physical being. Any fishwife
alive can be grand success at scold-
ing. Why compete with her?
Scolding should be compelled to per-
ish from the earth. The tongue, the
voice, the eye, the facial should be
trained not to scold-yes, and the pen,
for of all things a scolding pen is the
worst. And the habit once formed
with the pen is apt never to be entirely
shaken off.-Ada G. Sweet in Woman's
Home Companion

We smoked for few moments in

rest of the story was to leave the mar

adorned her neck then. One day she
was surprised by her lord, shutting
somebody in the wardrobe. A servant
had betrayed her. The Muscovite
Othello turned the key twice in the
wardrobe, took it out, then told his
wife to follow him. A travelling
brizska stood a few PAGES from the
villa. More dead than alive, the un-
happy woman obeyed. When the hus-
band had placed her in the carriage he
gave an order in a low voice to the
coachman. Keep this key he said to
his wife. L have forgotten something

conscious. On regaining her senses she
perceived that gold chain was riyeted
around her neck, to which was attach
ed a golden key, the exact counterpart
of the original, bearing an inscription.
She wished to kill herself, but her hus-
band pointed to the inscription and
added that if she would save her fam
fly from dishonor she must ever OBJ
serve it. She was therefore condemned
to live. Her strange necklace excited
much curiosity in Paris. At last her
tyrant allowed her to retire to a quiet
retreat on the express stipulation that
she would not attempt to destroy her.

A Dream Song.

Lullaby, hushaby, hasten away,
Little pink pilgrim, till dawn OF the day;
Slow swings the cradle, but swift is the flight
Lullaby, hushaby, baby, good night.
Over the bridges OF Slumberl-..l,'s streams
Lies the most wonderful Garden Of Dreams;
Short is the journey. and soft is the sod
Down by the valleys Of Drowsy and Nod.
Daisies and violets peep through the grass,
Buttercups beckon and bow as you pass;
Tiny dream fairies in tunics Of blue
Bring sweetest dreams in the garden for you.
Lullaby, hushaby, hasten away
Over the bridges till dawn Of the day;
Short is the journey to hours OF delight
Lullaby, hushaby, baby. good night.
