SHE lDWELT AMONG THE UNTRoD

By William Wordsworth.
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove;
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.
A violet by a messy stone
Half hidden from tho eyel
Fair as q star, when only one
To shining in the sky.
She lived unknown and few could know
When Lucy ceased TO be:
But she is In her grave. and, q.
The difference to me.

Copy from original Lottery

PERSONALLY
My Dear Judges Your recent letters
were duly received. read each of them
with much interest. The situation for
Democrat who desires at all times to be
loyal to his party is very difficult. I am

The letter as it stands goes to show
that the Messengers fayorite son was
Democrat in 1895 in still life only
very still. If he has many spells of
that sort, the fact should be made
known. 1t will take more than a har-
mony dinner and the Troy Messenger
to render man who has fits of still
ness In a Democratic campaign the
choice of Alabama. The Democrats of
this State were not very still in 1896
or in any other year. and they will
not support any apostle of stiffness,
whether he come from New York, New
Jersey or Newfoundland.

for that matter to the public has risen
less than 90 per cent, much of It less
than 30. It is thus clear that tie actual
rise in the price of beef Is all in the live

called trust"
Among the beef raisers and feeders

when one evening after the second or
third performance he was suddenly
addressed by stranger, How much

day after tomorrow and for month?
"Lemaitre dragged the unknown un-

He was well known writer. 1T is

explained his strange proposition. He

"Lemaitre had quickly recovered
himself. He seized the man by the col
lar. shook him hard for q minute and
then, with a vigorous kick, thrust him
away, crying: How much will take?

RIGHTS OF NAVAJO WoMAEy
She Alone of All Indian saunws En-
inxS IniencEdencc.

She Alone of All Indian Slunws Em-
Joys Independence.
The Navajo woman, who has made
her tribe the most famous of all liv-
ing Indian races by means of her great
and excellent invention, the Navajo
blanket, occupies social position of
great independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She
owns much of the wealth of the tribe,
and her children belong to her alone.
A woman may have hundreds of sheep
when she marries, and not one be-
comes the property of her husband.
Descent is traced through the female
line. 1t is survival of the primitive
matriarchate.
The Navajo woman has no perma-
nent home The progress of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by its dark
superstition that every death is caused
by Chinde, the devil, and that evil
spirits linger about the dead body. The
house is never occupied again. The
corpse is buried in the floor and the
house pulled down over it, and Ma
vajo would freeze before he would
make fire upon the logs of one of
these deserted heaps. So the Navajo
"hogan" is poor, temporary affair, n
mere circular hut of logs and stones,
with hole in the roof for the smoke
and a blanket for the door. In the
summer the Navajo woman loves to
move into brush wickiup, made of
greasewood boughs. There she sets up
her loom in the shadow of the rocks
and lives in the open air all summer

Single Reds For Rcnl Rest.

If single beds were more numerous
than they are, great many people
would be better off. When one is
tired, sick, cross, restless out of sorts,
he or she ought to sleep alone and not
communicate by proximity the NAL
aides that affect him. The brute crca-
lures when sick go away by them
selves till they die or get over their
troubles, and this instinct a great
many human beings have. Those that
have it are best if INDUCED in it, not
to the slightest degree of neglect, how
ever. Where two children in family
must share the same room in great
many cases they would be better off to
have two single beds rather than one
wide double bed. We can share a
great many things with those we love,
but solitude clings to us from birth to
death. We come into the world alone;
we must go out of it alone, and we
live in it alone, in Il certain important
sense, and to get and keep our "bear-
ings" we must sometimes be left alone.
1t is good that we should be.-Family
Doctor,

The Odor of Death.

A London physician of large practice
asserts that owing to his extremely
sensitive sense Of smell he can foretell
the coming of death forty-eight hours.
He says that when a patient comes
within two days of death a peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease is slow in its
progress, the odor makes its appear
ance as much as three days before
hand, but when the disease is of the
galloping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning He at
tributes the smell to modification,
which begins within the body before
life is extinct.
Dogs are thought to have this sense,
for hunting hounds have been observed
to begin a mournful baying a day or
two before their masters died.

The Hue of snpphires.

Star sapphires are generally of n
grayish blue tint, and the star is ex
hibited in its greatest perfection when
looked at by the light of the sun or a
candle. The sapphire is found of all
tints and shades Of blue, but the color
which approXimates to the shade for
merly called 'bleu do roi' is the most
valuable. A really fine sapphire should
appear blne by artificial light Us well
as by day. This stone is found in crys-
tails generally of much larger size than
the ruby. The name sapphire" is
perhaps the only one which runs
through all languages with very slight
alteration-the Hebrew name sapphir,
the Chalda sapirinon, the Greek zaf-
firos, the Latin sapphirus, etc.

Do Not sleep on Your Left Side.

Do Not Sleep on Your Left Side.
When a patient complains of bad
taste In his mouth every morning on
waking up, says n physician, the first
question l ask him is as to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep OH
the left side, and this is the most COM
mon cause Of the unpleasant taste
which is generally attributed to dys-
pepsa. If meal has been taken with
in two or three hours of going to bed,
to sleep on the left side is to give the
stomach n task which it is difficult in
the extreme to perform. The student
of anatomy knows that all food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right
side, and hence sleeping on the left
side soon after eating involves sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action Of the heart is also inter
fered with considerably. and the lungs
are unduly compressed. 1t is probable
that lying en- the back is the most nat
ural position. but few men can rest
easily 50 and hence 1t is best to cult
vate the habit OF sleeping on the right
side. II is Very largely IL matter of
habit. and the sooner it is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 20. 1902

Washington, Nov. 20, 1902.
There are active preparations going
on for the approaching session of Con.
gress. Many senators and representa-
tives have arrived in town and and are
getting their work in shape. Senator
Cullom claims to be making prepar-
ations for antitrust legislation. Ssna-
tors Lodge and Burrows are here and
are discussing the needs of the Philip
pines preparatory to the introduction of
another Philippine bill. They have had
several conferences with Secretary Root
and will doubtless be in position to
outline bill as soon as the session con.
venes. Senator Beverage has the state
hood bill comforting statehood on
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklaho.
ma, well in hand and will be ready
to report it on the Sd of December. The
immigration bill which passed the
House at the last session awaits the &C
ton of the Senate and 1t is hoped by
the administration officials that the
Cuban treaty will be ready to be sent to
the Senate at an early date.
Representative Richardson is in
Washington and states that the admin
istraion can count on the democratic
minority in the House for the support
of any genuine antitrust legislation.
Mr.. Richardson does not believe that
the republicans will dare to enact any
Legislation inimical to trusts but hopes
they will and will marshall his forces in
the House in support of it in the event
ofany serious attempt in that direction.
Mr.. Richardson expresses himself as
satisfied with the result of the elections.
He says that in view of the increased
membership in republican states and the
fact that states had nearly all been re-
dlstricted by republican legislatures the
democratic showing was surprisingly
good He looks forward to seeing the
fail to "make good" as the
President expressed it in New York,
and anticipates sweeping democratic
victory in 1904.
The President, encouraged by the at
titude Of the people towards his Cuban
policy has sent General Bliss to Havana
armed with all the powers of q
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1902-11-26
minister plenipotentlary to conclude a

minister plenipotentiary to conclude q
reciprocal treaty with Cuba. This
treaty provides that there shall be no
reduction of Cuban duties on imports
from the United States but that there
shall be an increase of all duties by so
per cent on goods coming into Cuba
from other countries. This, it is calcu-
lated, will give the United States a
monopoly of the Cubanetrade and in
return General Bliss is authorized to
grant concession of 25 per cent, if
necessary, from the Dingley rates on
imports from Cuba.
That the Cuban treaty, even If sue.
cessfully negotiated, will be ratified
with as little difficulty as the President
seems to anticipate does not seem to be
the opinion of some of the members of
his party. 1t is, of course, true that a
large number of the voters have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the policy
but the Beet Sugar Trust has not and
Mr. Henry T. Oxnard has come to
Washington to see about it. Mr.. Ok
nard has taken house in which he will
be able to entertain as lavishly as he
did last winter. That Mr.. Oxnard in.
tends to oppose the policy of the Presi
dent is foregone conclusion. That he
considers that the chances of success
are good is equally certain. With the
matter coming only before the sena-
tors, who are less directly responsible to
the people than are the representatives,
he will find it easier to influence votes.
The policy of the opponents, in SO far
as 1t is outlined, will be to make it q
condition of vote for the Cuban treaty
that vote be pledged for some of the
other reciprocity treaties to which the
various protected interests are bitterly
opposed and thus 1t is hoped to defeat
all reciprocal legislation.
