WHERE MRS. NATION Is 1T.

Carrie Nation has not lived in vain.
Unaided by the ballot she has become
the recognized boss and dictator, the
cit" of Concord, Neb. They recently
held an election in Concord, the tenn
perance people electing mayor and
full city ticket. Each of the success
full candidates signed the following
pledge before being nominated:
1--WE pledge ourselves to use all
honorable means to secure the servi-
ces of Mrs. Carrie Nation as our sole
adviser in our official duties, and to
adopt no ordinance or measures OF
Importance relative to the towns gov
eminent without receiving Mrs. Ma
TONS approval
The mayor and members of the
council held an informal meeting after
the election and reiterated their de-
sire to have Mrs. Nation map out
their line of municipal conduct. They
went even further and declared there
should be no smoking on the streets,
no card playing in private houses, no
theatrical performances and that
drunkenness will be punished by
ducking or by public whipping.

No Keys to White House.

In these modern days the front door
of the White House is not locked at
night. Practically no doors are locked
and if the steward should look around
for keys he would probably not find
half of those formerly in use. Big po-
licemen are about the only doors at the
executive mansion They guard the
main doors at all hours of day and
night, and there is no need to close and
lock the inner doors. Before President
Lincoln's time policemen were rare at
the presidents home, and when all the
clerks and servants had gone home at
night the housekeeper went around
and carefully locked all the doors in
side and outside except to rooms occu-
pied by those going in and coming out.

ANOTHER postoffice scandal is prom

The secretary of war has notified the
postoffice department that postal af-
fairs in the orient are in a most I'M
satisfactory condition, and it is I'M
derstood that there is likely to be
developed big shortages. These
postoffice frauds in addition to the
frauds in the quartermaster's depart

to exhibit to the people some of the
rottenness that pervades ''our CO.

PARrY CoNTROL OF CIrIEs.

One of the most picturesque charac-
tiers in New York City is Col. Abe
Bruber. The colonel is rich and is in
politics for the fun and excitement he
gets out of it. He is a member of
Boss Platt's machine, but is not a
blind follower of the machine or the
boss.
The colonel has been writing SER
les of articles concerning the govern
ment of cities by political parties.
His diagnosis of conditions is that
there are three divisions-politically
speaking-in every community in the
top, which is bad; the middle stratum
or division which is somewhat bad
because of it's close contact with the
top, and the bottom division, which
is good. This last division is by far
the largest in point of numbers. In
both great parties as they now exist
this last division is made up of hon.
est, well meaning, good citizens, who
support their parties because of the
principles they profess and who lend
responsibility to them.
The top crowd is made up of the
bosses who may or may not hold Of
flee, the middle stratum comprises
those who are beholden to the bosses
or do their bidding, but who are to
some extent inspired in their actions
by the sentiments which sway the
third class; the voters in this third
class comprise the frank and file"
and are the bone and sinew of the
parties. For them the platforms are
written, and that, according to Col.

DON'T BE sparine of Your Love.

The power of love is one of the great
est gifts to humanity. 1t generates the
sunshine of the moral universe, with
out which life would be desert waste.
Use this divine power without stint.
Be prodigal of your love. Let it radi-
ate freely. 1t will brighten the dark
places. 1t will gladden. the sorrowing.
1t will lift you above the petty, grind
ing cares that SO soon corrode the mind
and sap the energies. 1t is the golden
key that will admit you to the palace
of the true life.-Success.

Col. Bruber sums up his review by
declaring that a municipality is q
great business corporation and should
be governed by business men who
would apply the science of business to
city affairs. He further AYERS that
party government of cities has proved

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons For Differences In Tint O
Coins of French 1Iintage.

Reasons For Differences In Tint of
Coins of French AIintage.
Some time ago n Frenchman placed
together a number of gold coins of
French mintage of the beginning, mid
de and end of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He'set about finding
out the reasons for this difference, and
the results of his investigations have
been published in La Nature.
There is n palenesS about the yellow
of the 10 and 20 franc pieces which
bear the efigies of Napoleon 1 and
Louis XVIII that is not observed in
the goldpieces of later mfntage. One
admirer of these coins speaks of their
color as beautiful paleness" and ex-
presses regret that it is lacking in later
coins. The explanation of it is very
simple. The,alloy that entered into the
French gold coins of those days con-
tanned as much silver as copper, and it
was the silver that gave the coins their
interesting paleness.
The coins of the era ofiNapoleon III
Were more golden in hue. The silver
had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow.
This is because the Paris mint, as we'll
as that in London, melts the gold and
the copper alloy in hermetically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleacheh, as it always
is when it is attacked by hot air. So
the present coins have the full warm
ness of tint that a copper alloy can
give.
If the coins of todaysare not so land
some in the opinion Of amateur collect
ors as those issued by the first Napo-
leon, they are superior to those of Ell
Their of the NapoleodIs in the fact that
it costs lesSSto makethem. The double
operation of the oxidation of the copper
and cleaning it off the surface of the
coin with acids is MO longer employed,
and the large elimination of copper
from the surface of the coins. formerly
practiced. made them less resistant I'M
der wear and tear than are the coins
now in circulation.

PROSPER oUs EAST
Profperity Almost As Painful As
 Panic

Dr. D. M. Purman returned yesterday morning from an eastern business trip of more than two months. Mos. of that time was spent at Indianapolis. his for mer home. He said that no idea can be formed without seeing il of the won derful degree of prosperity which pre- eafs ia the commercial and manufao- turing centers. Business men of al classes are keyed up to the highest pitch wondering when the tide will turn. All are making money and many are getting to be immensely rich. The intensity of the country in money malS ing is almost as painful as an intensity of worry in the season of panic.
 The banks are filled with money t5r which there is no employment. Fou. per cent is a common rate of interest, and even al that attractive rate cap itsI finds openings with great difficulty. Dr. Purman says that he understands what President Mex finley meant in his beech the day before he was shot. when he said the prosperity of th- country had become appalling.
 Business men do not believe ar. end will ever come to it as seasons of pros perity have heretofore ended; that new markets and the new commerciai policy of the country will keep it alive and SaiillS- Those WnO io iofecaSt an and think il will come in the estab- lishment of an entirely new system, brought about by the great aggregation of wealth and consequent industrial uuCd sinesS. There is no cause for in dustrial discontent and there is no gooI cause in sight. but the workers may some time complain. not because they are not prosperous, but because their prosperity does not keep pace with that of their employers.
