The Farmers Troubles.

He riseth up in the morning when
the voice of the rooster heraldeth tt Q
approach of day; he VANDERBILT around
in the darkness and GOODNESS of the
morning seeking bis trousers and find
eth them, by and by, where no left
them not; be uncovereth the GOALS of
fire and heapeth on kindling, and a
waIeth the sleepers of his habitation
with a loud voice; he departeth for the
barn without light to guide his steps
and be stumbleth over the sleeping
COW, and straightway, in a moment, in
the twinkling OF eye, he lambeth mp
on his nose, but he riseth up quickly,
kicketh the four legged beast and pro-
ceedeth on his way; he climbeth up in
to the harm loft and falleth through a
hole in the floor into the midst of the
young mules, and in a sweet voice he
beseechPth them to remain quiet and
fear not, hut they hearken not to his
voice, and straightway he climbeth up
into the trough and remaineth there
until the break of day.
Who is this strange creature who do
eth these strange things? He who till
eth the soil and feedoth the nation with
the fruits Of his labor; be who gather
eth corn into his crib and poureth
wheat into his granery and payeth his
taxes with the price of one yearlIng.
He watcheth the rain descend on his
growing crops and the'bawling of calves
6lleth his mouth with merry whis-
tie, The 'punkin" blossoms as rose
in his fields, and watermelons adorn
his front veranda in the cool Of the
evening. His children grow not up in
tdleness, but in exercise, pork and beans
giveth to their cheeks the the color of
cherries. And when they are grown up
they become pillars in the church and
rafters in society.
Verify, say unto you the farmer is
the hope of the nation, and he should
be protected in these latter days by
the wisest egislation. Exchange.

SOUTH PlTTSBURG.. CHARTER.
Repealed by the Legislature After Heat
ed Fight by temperance People.

Nashville, April 12.--The bill re-
pealing the charter of South Pitts
burg pasted the house today after
one of the bitterest fights of the ses-
sion, and is now up to t Governor
to become a law. A large number
of the leading citizens of the town
were here to press the passage of the
bill, and were opposed by an equally
large number opposing the measure.
1t appears that the whskey dealers
have been unusually defiant in that
town and the people became so in
tensely wrought up that they were
willing to do almost anything to stop
the traffic. The anti-temperance
members of the Legislature were very
spirited in their opposition, but this
seems to be somewhat of temper
ance Legislature, and the bill went
through by good safe majority.

SUBSIDY OR NOTHING.
Mark Hanna,s Hand ina Pushing FOr-
ward the Trust-Favoring
Scheme.

From the decision of the senate re-
publican committee on order of busi-
ness to ask for earlier daily sessions OF
the senate, and also to move for night
sessions next week, it is evident that
Hanna's party associates perceive the
danger to their party contained in b
calling of a special session of congress
If it is deemed necessary to owen
the Fifty-seventh congress in special
session following the close of the Fifty
sixth, the responsibility for such neces-
sity must rest upon the hackers of the
ship subsidy bill. 1t is because OF the
stubborn determination of the friends
of the subsidy grab to jam it through
congress at all costs that other bust
ness, genuinely important to the entire
country rather than to a syndicate
clique of monopolists, has been imposst-
BILE of transaction. 1t has been the
ship subsidy bill or nothing with ths
arrogant influences back of that evil
measure.
On its face, the ship subsidy bill is
sufficiently malodorous to contain a Sc
rious menace of future disaster to the
party which dared to make it a law. II
it shall compel the calling of a special
session of congress for the transaction
of business which could otherwise cas-
lily have been disposed of during the
regular session, the disfavor in which
the subsidy grab stands with the peo-
pie will be ominously increased. Wise
republicans plainly perceive this for
bidding truth of the existing situation.
The probabilities are. however, that
Mark Hanna sternly demands the pas
sage of the ship subsidy bill, extra ses-
sion or no extra session. He must re-
coup the syndicates whose money re-
elected Mr.. Mckinley to the presidency.
The $3.50, 900, 900 subsidy grab is the be-
ginning of this repayment. If the peo-
pies representatives in congress are so
foolish" as to fght the ship subsidy
bill, why, so much the worse for the
people. They'll have just that much
more to pay in the long run, and Hanna
is insolently Indifferent to their loss II
their loss means the s~yndicates' gain

If Mr.. Hanna experiences
trouble in getting his subsidy bill
past the men who come up for re-
election only once in six years what
will he experience when it gets over
into the house, where the members
have to go before the people every
two years?-Omaha World-Herald.

They believe that the surest and
quickest way to build up the mer-
chant marine is to amend our naviga-

owned by Americans can fly the

amended it would at one appear that
there was no foundation for the plea
of American shipbuilders hat ships
cannot be built as cheaply in this
country as in foreign countries--Sa-

True observed Capt. Dacy. Then,

While Wilson was delivering the cap

Crawford opened the sideboard. and
set out decanters and dishes. and the
negress brought ONE fresh wine from

King George looked

And said: 'arhoze colonies seem 10 be
Forgetting they all belong to me-,

So over the redcoats proudly came,
To have a nice little jolly game
At teaching the rebels manners;
Thinking it would be rarest fun
To see the pitiful Yankees run
AT sight of the royal banners.
How their bayonets flashed and cleaned.
How their eyes with ardor anne
AS forward they marched to battle!
Sure of putting the foe to rout.
Sure of wiping rebellion out,
At the first musket rattle.
Then came along a great surprise.
And old King George he opened MS eyes
At hearing the news so stunning.
Plenty of soldiers turned their back
In quick retreat, but, alack, alack!
Twas the redcoats did the running.
Sometimes they won, but the poor old king
Found it rather a serious thing,
This tire mpin out of treason
Still the vaGabond rebel crew
Laughed at him and his soldiers. too.
Where could he find a reason?
oh. George the Third, If you had but known
We had a George of our very own,
Leading us on to glory!
How little, a hundred years ago,
You dreamed that to-day we boys, no, no!

LAST YEARS TAILOR GOWN.
May h Easily Made Over and
Trimmed with Bands
of Taffeta.

II you have q tailor-madeg gown have
Ii remodeled for the early spring days,
and wait until later in the season to
purchase your best gown, writes EN-
ma II. Hooper in Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. If your gown was bought within
a year it is probably made severely
plain. in which ease it may be trimmed
with bands OF taffeta two inches wide,
either black or the color of the gown.
The bands should be cut a true bias or
be curved to fit the skirt perfectly.
Line each band with thin crinoline,
stitch five times, turn in the edges mar
rowly and stitch them to the skirt The
lower of the two bands should be set
two inches above the edge of the skirt.
If a fresh binding is needed put it on,
and if the skirt is intended for gen.
eral wear make it SO that it will es-
cape the ground. A dust ruffle of taft
feta silk cut bias and made aboutseEen
inches wide, finished with a narrow
hem and put on with a tiny erect head
ing, will very much improve the ap-
p~earance of the skirt. The rufhe should
he once and a half as full as the skirt
and be sewed on about half an inch
above the binding IN the inside of the
skirt. If the skirt is TO be rehung the
back may be made in an inverted box

Quoted by that tory, Wilson, are riding

The messenger, whom Polly recog-
nized as a boy of the neighboring vii
lage, dashed on again, without waiting
to answer any questions.
Polly gave no further thought to the
cobalt-blue eyes of the old Gileadite,
staring at her from the sampler. Her
father must be warned; but before she
left the window she glanced sharply
down The road.
There was a cloud of dust rising
above the trees, far down as she could
see; and through that cloud she saw
the glistening of bright steel. Were

indeed, there was no time; and she

Maj. Crawford's bronzed face turned
nearly as pale as that of his daughters

of his foes, but he was a man of daunt-
less energy and accustomed to danger.
His first act was to run 10 the window
and look out. A single glance told him
it was too late for flight. The dragons
were already at the white gates, and
the foremost were dismounting.

The country has not forgotten that

said in another message 1--WE must see
that free Cuba be a reality" he rs low
in a plot to make Cuba a dependency
of the United States, are therefore not
incredible.
If this thing is to be done-if the ma

decency let it be done openly. Better
a bold b~uccaneer than a prating Peck

fought so long and sacrificed So much.
cannot be alienated by a dictum ofthe
president nor impaired by any action
of congress. Our own supreme court
has decided that, alike in a "constitu-
tional, legal and international sense"
Cuba IS entitled to be considered and
treated as a foreign and independent
state. And no nation can be free or in
dependent that yields upon compulsion
naval stations and a military post in its
territory and s~urrenders control of its
finances and foreign relations to =
