An admiral OF our navy. Old. crusty
and self-important took great delight
in hearing salute to his flag. The fol
lowing story exhibits the nan:
We had entered port. and the old
gentleman was strutting up and down
the poop While salute in his honor
was being fired. After II guns the fir
ing stepped. The admiral was furious.
He had been counting them himself,
so had the quartermaster and the flag
lieutenant. both of whom agreed that
only - guns had been fired. His salute
was 13.
Don't answer that salute. he
roared. Don't answer tit was only
u guns!
Pretty soon a boat put off from
the shore and an officer demanded to
know why the salute had not been
returned. He was told.
"'When | receive the proper salute
| shall answer it., said the offended
admiral.
"An hour afterward a solitary gun
doomed out. The admiral was satisfied
as this made the full 13. and the salute
was promptly returned" ,".~BQstop Her

at that very moment he came in sight

In moment the first lion sent out

After eyeing one another a short
time, the two beasts began to ap-

Suddenly the lion which had come
from the left sprang at his antagonist,

Down they came in hot grapple

Dining Car service on American Railroads
has undergone number of changes in the
method of serving meals in dining cars. Many
leading roads are now serving from cards
a-la-carte, whilst on the other great trunk
lines the popular American plan of en-.
joying anything on the bill of fare and
paying the usual price of one dollar. In
recent years the american Club" meal has
come to the front, by which guests may
choose from dozen or more bills of fare,
neatly arranged in booklet form, ranging in
price from 80 cents to $l.00. This latter
plan is adopted by the Nickel Plate Road on
its through express trains between Chicago,
New York City and Boston, except on the
dining cars of that line, choice may be
made from various club menus, or Sc
lection may be made from them all, at
the price of the higher. In fact, it is claimed
for the Nickel Plate Road that its passenger
train service is equal to the best, and that

HER KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE.

oglyphs and Surprised
Her Friends,

A young woman at watering place this
summer made a reputation as a profound
linguist in a rather odd manner. She
called one day at Chinese laundry, where
she had left shirt waist, but it could
not be found, as there was no entry in
the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to
her pink slip. After half hours search
the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake
had been made, the entry crossed out and
a new. set of hieroglyphics in tiny charac-
ters placed below. She was told that that
waist would be laundered Immediately, and
she could have it the next day, says the
Kansas City World.
The next day the young woman called
for it, accompanied by three other young
women. At the seashore the excitement of
a visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be
despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink
slip was presented was not the laundryman
of the day before, and he experienced the
same difficulty in finding the identifying
characters, finally saying: "Not in book "
The girl answered, calmly: II can find it,
and the Chinaman allowed her to take the
book. Turning the leaves until she came
to the one that had had an entry crossed
out, with another in tiny characters under
it, she handed it to the Chinaman. ''There
it is" and, to his surprise, he found it.

said. And the other girls looked upon her

FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRACY.

rialism and the Work Against
the Trusts.

Twill the democratic party" asks a
New York paper, ''now be restored to
the control of it's reason and its con-
science, and furnish once more real
opposition" Much depends upon what
is meant by ''its reason and its con-
science" If reason" and conscience"
mean complete acquiescence in impe-
rialism, militarism and the unre-
strained reign of industrial monopoly,
then the democratic party as whole
will probably never return to the con-
troll of its treason" and its con
science" Part of it may return, but
not all of it.
The future of the democratic party,
it seems, is already the theme of spec
ulation. No one can pretend to fore
cast it's development. There are many
and varied possibilities. The parallel
of the liberal party in Great Britain
would indicate that, with the imperial
istic spirit unchecked, the democratic
party may break into fragments.
There are signs of this already. The
gold democrats contain large pro-
portion of the imperialists, while the
south, solid enough, may contain alto
gether too much genuine imperialistic
spirit and too much native contempt
for inferior races to be kept long in
support of an anti-imperialistic pro-
gramme.
Or, take the question of plutocracy,
one of the greatest of the future. Will
the old democratic party ever again
form compact organization on that
issue? Is it possible for the democracy
of Whitney, German, Fairchild and
Charles r. Flint ever to harmoniXs

THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE.
Reelection Does Not Signify a Full
and Free Endorsement by
the People.

Reelection to the presidency is natur-
ally accepted by the fortunate candi-
date at its face value as a personal
compliment and proof of approba-
ton. The larger the vote the more
fattering is the commendation sup
posed to be. Yet the approval may be
qualified; the election may contain
also lesson and warning. 1t is the
weakness of human nature that, where
as a reelected president should return
to power with heightened sense of
his responsibilities, deeper apprecia-
tion of the obligations imposed upon
him by this added evidence of popular
trust, he may in reality accept it COM
placently as sign that he has been
wholly admiral bic in the past and will
be well-nigh Siifallible in the future.
Ordinarily it is only the defeated can
dida:e who with humility and self
searching seeks to find wherein he is
prone to error.
William Mckinley will enter upon
his second term as the result of vote
which leaves no possible doubt as to
the popular preference for him as
against his leading opponent. Yet in
his reduced pluralities in certain states
where his attitude on the money issue
should have swelled his vote he will
find reason for serious thought Massa-
chusetts, for instance, is not a state
where Mr.. Bryan's populist tenden-
cies are welcome by any means, but

anti-imperialist sentiment of it's vot-

WHAT is TRUE ART2

What is true art? Fond poet canst thou
The secret unto one not overwise?
This is thy answer if l hear thee well,
That ] must nearer climb to Paradise,
And calmly wait, and list with spirit-ear
Till God doth speak, as He doth speak
to heart,
And then with pen inspired make sweetly
clear
To others what He spake. This is true
art.
What is true art? Fair limner, canst thou
tell?
Is it in faultless copy thou hast wrought
OF Gods great works? Nay; if hear thee
well.
1t is the beauty one perceives untaught,
And with it makes the duller see and know
True beauty wheresoe'er it forms part,
And helps him sketch Life's lines from
vale below
Up to the mountain height. This is true
art.
What is true art? Sweet song bird, canst
thou tell?
All taught of God thy wondrous hymn of
praise?
This is thy answer, if l hear thee we'll:
"Go listen thou where hope doth sing
always
Her song of gladness, every note Cod
given,
ana Wnlcn lie pldnneu 10 cHeer lile StIlch-
en- heart,
And fill it with the melody of Heaven;
Then search no more, for thou hast found
true art"
What is true art? Deft sculptor, canst
thou tell?
Is it in pulseless statue cold and dead,
That breathes no love? Nay; if hear thee
well,
'Tis something wrought in real man in
stead
Chiseled by various trials keen, until
He nobly stands perfect in every part
OF Christian stature, as his God doth WILL
Christ-like and transcendent work of
art.

again with that of Mr.. Bryan and Sem
ator Tillman, so long as industrial mo-
nopoly and the growth of the class
spirit continue in America?
Some people are asking what will
now become of Mr. Bryan? AS a ques-
tion of politics, that has very slight
relative Importance. The real ques-
tion is whether the fundamental issues
which formed the heart and soul of the
democratic campaign this year have
been settled forever in this country by
the republican majorities. Upon the
survival of those issues in the minds OF
the great masses of Americans will de-
pend the character of the future devel-
opment of the democratic party. only
one thing seems fairly sure. An effort
to make the party conform to the impe-
