estimates that the additional civil war
disbursements for debt, interest and
pensions from June 80, 1879, to July /,
1900, amounted to $3,904 1888 IT'S, max
ing total federal expenditure of $40,

Michael Bitter of New Berlin. O..
who is "a years old, is fond of telling
how he presided when Mckinley made
his first political speech from dry
goods box in that town, in 1865, soon
after Mckinley was mustered out of
the army.
The box was in the open air, at the
business center of the town.
Mckinley, then only %, came nom
Canton to New Berlin, to take the
place of another judge, who had been
unable to be present.
Can you make speech?" asked Mr..
Bitter of Mckinley, in joking vein,
as he saw the small, Slight young man
who was with the judge Mckinley
looked at his questioner, doubtful
whether to take him seriously or not.
but he recovered his equilibrium when
assured that Mr.. Bitter was only jok-
ing.
Mr.. Bitter introduced the young man
as William Mckinley of Canton, with
out suspicion that he was presenting
to his fellow citizens coming Presi-
uent or the United States.
Mckinley arose and scanned his au-
dience, without sign of emotion. The
speech which followed was marked by
the same characteristics that have
been notable in his oratory in later
years. 1t was delivered in the light of
oil lamps.
About year ago the President and
Mrs. Mckinley were in New Berlin.
and, as their carriage passed the spot
where the dry-goods box speech was
once delivered, the President was seen
to turn his eyes toward the place and
smile, as he passed some comment on
the circumstance, to his wife.
Mr.. Bitter is very proud of his par
ticipation in that early primitive open
air rally, especially so, as the President
upon several occasions in later life, in
troduced him to friends, unoer the title
of the man who first introduced me
into politics"

AZTEC LOVE SONG.
Leave on my lips your honey,
o flowers of the delll-
And on my face your fragrant breath,
Fresh from the sunny heights of death
Whereon my deathless hero fell
My hero OF the battle!
Above the hills of thunder
He rose with choral song,
To join the court around the sun
In votive dance for victories won;
So was he fairest of the throng-
My hero of the battlel
The sun-god smiled in welcome;
Then sent his soul to be
The sweetness in the summer flowers,
The majesty of white cloudtowers,
The soul of bird-songs, and of me-
My hero of the battlel
Then speak to me his message,
o birds that soar and singl-
And hold me to his heaving breast,
Wild wind from clouds against the
west,
And breathe of him, o flowers of
Spring.
My hero of the battlel
And yet the day is empty
Since he comes home no morel
The song of birds cannot repeat
The music of his hurrying feet;
The breath OF flowers is not so sweet
AS was his greeting at the door
When he comes back from
battlel

The act of union between Sweden
and Norway provides that the king
shall spend part of the year in Nor
way. This time has usually been lin
tted. A change in this respect is now
contemplated. and 1t is proposed con-
stitutionally to compel the king to
spend the same length of time in Nor
way as in Sweden-say in one, two or
three years at time in each country.

Last week the New Jersey crop re-
port said: "The horned worm is doing
considerable damage to tomatoes, whole
fields having been destroyed in some
places" This is the same insect that
we illustrated on our Agricultural page
last week. Usually these worms do not
appear in sufficient numbers to be a
menace to the crop. Hand picking is
about the only method that is recon-
mended and is generally effective. The
use of poisons on tomato vines or to-
bacco plants can hardly be encouraged,
as tomato plants are already bearing
fruit and tobacco is used entire. When
the worms first appear they should be
all picked off, thus leaving none as a
foundation for future broods. The
worm is familiar to most of our read
ers, being the big green horned worm
frequently seen on tomato plants.
