WHEN MEN DOUBLE UP.
II In Then Their Personal PecuIiar1-
ties and Mcannesses Come
to the Surface.

There's one place above all others
where man exhibits his meanness," :"
said the traveller. according to the
Brooklyn Citizen, ''and that's aboard
an ocean liner and toward the man
who is obliged to occupy the same
stateroom with him. If he gets the
lower berth he's done you mortal in
jury. If he's seasick, you have con-
tempt for him; if he is not, you are
bit envious. I've crossed the Atlantic
nine times, and have always shared a
stateroom. and | was never more than

mate. You can be all right toward
everybody else aboard. but he's your
enemy. The case is worse when it's
pair of old travellers, as each is posted
as to his rights and privileges, and is
jealous in enforcing them. When 1
crossed to London last year had Chi
cago man for a-chum. No doubt he was
an all-round good fellow, but it was
his sixth or seventh trip, and he'd got

room when | came aboard. We recog-
nized each other as veterans. but a few
words must be uttered for decencys

Names Jones', say 1, as l chucksd
away my steamer trunk.
Names Brown says he, as he
banged on his hat.
I'VE didn't speak again for four days.
Then we got heavy gale and big sea,
and as was lying in my bunk he came
in for some cigars and growled:
"'Got it,?
"'No; have you?'
mo. Hoped you had!'
"'Ditto!'
AN hour before we landed handed
him paper on which | had written
down my feelings concerning him. /
called him a crank a curmudgeon, a
bear, heather and lots of other things,
and expressed the fervent hope that it
might never occur that the same hotel
would give us both shelter in Europe.

one. He had written down his feelings
toward me, and L pledge you my word,

later, and we rushed to greet each 9TH

we walked about like two brothers, and

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mi-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
we will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that

ROYALTIES AND TARIFFS.
An Incident That Is Strongly Signifi-
cant of Obnoxious Trust
Methods.

There is nothing strange in the fact
that the armor plate trust, confronted
with the senate threat of the establish
ment of a government plant for the
manufacture of armor plate, suddenly
discovered that it could accept con.
tracts at a much lower figure than that
for which it originally contended, and
so averted serious danger of loss OF
business.
The incident is extremely significant
of trust methods. The argument of the
armor plate trust to the effect that it
could not sell it's product for less than
$545 ton because of royalty of $45
per ton that had 70 be paid was of
kind with that other trust argument
that a high protective tariff is neces-
sary to prevent European competition
which would destroy the infant in
dustries' now known as trusts. Ad
miral O'Neill proved that there was no
patent on the Krupp process, that roy
alties did not, therefore, figure in the
cost-and the armor plate trust
promptly closed the contract at re-
duced rates. Just so, confessing the
falsity of their claims for protection,
are the tariff trusts now underselling
European competitors in European
markets, and, equally, by the removal
of the protective tariff, should they be
compelled to lower their prices to the
American consumer.
The trust idea. however, under the
fostering care of McKinleyism, is to
bleed the American government and
people to the full limit as long as pos
sible. A senate committee, ably as
sisted by Admiral O'Neill, has managed
to outwit the armor plate trust, but this
was almost accidental. The combines
count confidently on the continued sue
cess of their game of robbing the Amer
lean government and consuming pub
lie. Why, else, did they contribute so
lavishly for the purpose of reelecting
Mr.. Mckinley? And for what else is

HORSES NEED HAIR REVIEWER
Uncle Reuben Thought There w.sn,.
Much to Brng Aboutin
the Show

"City folks is easily pleased" remarked
Uncle Reuben, who has farm down in
Egypt, relates the Chicago Chronicle. "I
went in to see that there horse show, and
there wasn't single critter there that had
more than stump of tail. What they need
is a hair renewer for those prize animals. A
stiff young man that kept looking at moth
ing and holding his arms out as if he das'n't
let his coat sleeves touch his coat says to me
when l asked him about those poor tailless,
stuck-up looking animal. that they were that
gay on purpose, because it's the fashion:
Queer what will come in for style. looked
round and most of the big men they said was
millionaires didn't have any hair on their
heads. The bald spots was about as numer-
Gus as the bob-tailed hosses. The young
dudes that 1 see promenading about with
big flowers in their buttonholes didn't one of
them have sign of mustache or even a
prospect of any whiskers. 1t was queer
horses without hardly any tails, men with
out any hair on their heads, and boys with
out any mustaches. 1t do beat all.

Guess yer right thar, pard," re-
turned Chuck. 'I'll jes' 60 'em on that
proposition tonight
When DR.. Beecher's party came up
a little later "Chuck" was singing to
the most doleful tune a song the re-
frain of which ran
$50 we'll leave this spot, this dismal hole,
And pull for the Rio Grande,
Where IN sunlight bright We'll bask and
roll
Till the river runs full of brandy.
Yes, We'll leave this hole, I'll promise you,
To pull for the Rio Grande,
Where the boys are brave and hearts are
true
And the girls are sweet as candy"
There, doctor!" exclaimed Mr.. Cal
lahan to DR.. Eaton, as they drove up.
That's just what I've come 5000
miles to hear"
Hastily they all left their cramped
positions in the rigs and hurried up
to the fire. Rickety Bob sat on the
ground pounding up coffee in bak-
ing powder can with the muzzle of
his siX-shooter, firing into the air
whenever the muzzle became clogged
and didn't cut well.
'Well,' said Chuck, cheerily, as he
finished his song, 'how's this for
dampness?"
No one paid any attention to him
for few moments. They were all too
much taken up with Rickety Bob.
Hardy took the opportunity to look
them over, and he did it as carefully
as though they had been a bunch of
yearling colts which he intended to
purchase. Each wore a sombrero
with a rim fully eight inches wide,
and from their general breezy make
up it was plain to Hardy that some
one had been telling them all about
the hot, dry climate of ''arid Arizona"
Finally one of the group turned to
Hardy and asked: -,
"Where do we camp to-night,s Mr..
Hardy?'' s-e ss ::
Right here, sir"
"And the tents?" -tf -
"Tents! Why, man alive, don't you
know they don't allow tents Oh an In

No, sir; tents air little too risky fer

"Well. but what will we do about this
rain?'
do like Adam did. Lay out and take
'er and thank the Lord fer sendin' 'er."
Tired, hungry and shiyering in their
wet clothes. the eastern men looked at
one another in dismay. Going to the
fire Hardy threw the lid off the bread
oven and snatched out a biscuit. Pee
ing off the top and bottom crusts, he
took the middle out and threw it
against the side of the wagonbed. where
it stuck. Then. as though that were a
test that put the seal of perfection
upon all good bread, he yelled out:
Here she is: come and git 'er while
she's a-steamin'."
Uncovering the meat and pulling the
coffee pot out of the fire. he and Rick
ETY. Bob took out their jackknives. sat
down tailor-fashion on the wet sand
and began to ''fly at her" Far-away
''home-and- mother" looks stole into
the visitors eyes, but they said moth
ing. Presently Hardy looked up and
asked:
Don't you fellers want nuthin to
eat?''
"Why. yes; we'd like something, but
! haven't any knife. VIII you lend me
yours until l fish out piece of meat?7
said Zeig!er Sergeant.
"Shore, Mike. But, say. fellers, thar's
whole passel of knives an forks an
tin dishes thar in the chuckboX, if yer
keer ter use them"
Coming back to the fire after the
beds had been made down. Hardy found
one of the party washing his feet in a
basin of water that had been drawn
from the drinking water" tanks on the
wagon.
Drag it out O that" yelled Hardy,
drawing his revolver and covering the
barefoot man. Come right out of
that er Illpump yer plumb full of these
here lead beans"
Dent shoot, Don't shoot" cried
the frightened man. Il meanFno>-"
"Never mind what Yer meNnt." said
Hardy. returning his revolver to. its
holster. but Please ies' RENE mbef fha t
the water in them barrels has got ter

next five days
At that be picked up the basin and
| poured the water back into the barrel,
| to the astonishment and horror of the
New En9landers. No one dared object
! to this, and so the incident passed.
| About This time. there was ''let-up"
| in the rainstorm and it gave all a
! chance to get to bed dry. But at mid
night the lightning began to fash again
! and another pourdown came.
AS the first big drops fell Hardy and
Rickety Bob poked their heads out from
beneath their tarpaulin. and. yelling
like Comanches, emptied their six
| shooters into the air. From that time
on there was no sleep for the 'sprofes-
sors." Drowned out of their beds by
the leaking tarpaulin. they either
sought shelter in vain underthe rigs
or walked about over the sand dune un-
til morning trying to keep warm.-

HOUSEHOLD BITS.
Few Suggestions Regarding Mat

partment.

With sweet cider at its sweetest

good old-fashioned preserve of our
grandmothers which went so excel
lently well with her plethoric dough-
nuts may find favor. Boil one gal
lon of new sweet cider down to two
quarts. Pare, quarter and core half
a bushel of sweet apples. Put the
cider in granite or porcelain kettle,
and when it boils add as many apples
as the kettle will hold. Cover closely
and cook slowly without stirring uu
til the apples are tender. Skim them
out without breaking, add more and
cook until all are done. Pour the
sirup over the apples and set away to
cool. The next day drain off the
sirup, boil down until quite thick and
again pour over the apples. Tie
pieces of apple should be quite dis
tinct and the juice should be almost
the consistency of jelly says the
Washington Star.
The late Isabella grapes make an
excellent spiced relish to serve with
meats. Pick from the stems seven
pounds of grapes-if not fully ripened
it will not matter-and separate the
pulp from the skin. Put the skins in
a preserving kettle over the fire with
just enough water to prevent them
from burning. In another kettle on
top of the stove place the pulps and
cook until the seeds begin to sep
arate. Press through sieve and

teaspoonful each of cloves, allspice
and cinnamon. Boil until. thick.
Sweet. picked apples make another
Inexpensive but appetizing relish. Sc
lect tart, firm apples and cut in half
through the stem, leaving the core
and skin on. Put three cloves in each
half apple. Make the sirup, allow
ing three pounds of sugar and a pint

Lay the apples ina few at a time
and cook until you can pierce them
with straw. Take out with the
skinner and lay on a platter until
all are done. Then pack in jars, pour
the sirup over and seal

FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.
Questions Upon Which the Party
VIII Have to Base Its Work
to Come.

1t is obviously premature to consider
practically any plans for "reorganiz-
ing" the democratic party. The organ
ization is everywhere in the hands of
the men who engineered the last two
campaigns, and any plans for the future
will avail little that do not take ac-
count of them.
Some things, however, may reason
ably be considered as settled:
1. The free silver question, which was
dead before, is now buried beyond the
reach of any resurrection trump. Even
Mr.. Bryan. who forced 16 to 1 into the
Kansas City platform, did not discuss
it during the campaign. Not one voice
is now raised in favor of adhering to
this ''body of DEATH"
2. The unnatural and communicating
fusion with free silver republicans
and wild-eyed populists is ended In
dispensable gain is the only justifica-
tion of political alliances. A paltry 13.
electoral votes, from four of the small
est mining camp states, are the sum TO-
tai of democratic gains from fusion.
A fusion which does not fuse falls
through it's own weakness.
3. The new issues and the attitude
of the democratic party toward them
will be largely shaped by the action OF
the administration and of congress dur
ing the coming year. What will be
done in the Philippines, in Porto Rico,
in Cuba? What will be done in regard
to the standing army and to reduction
and readjustment Of taxation? what
will be done to correct the evils and to
limit the power of trusts and monop-
olies? What is to be the outcome OF
our ENHANCEMENT in China?
These are the questions upon which
the voters will divide in the near fu-
ture, as they did not have an oppor-
tunity of doing in the late campaign
owing to the intrusion of menace to
the character of our money and the
continuance of prosperity. The need
which will soon be felt of an alert and
determined opposition will do more to
revive and unite and rehabilitate the
democratic party than all the wire
pulling, speeches and conferences can
possibly accomplish.-N. Y. World.
