was much nearer to being hypnotized
at that moment than was she, but he
didn't know that. He produced the
necessary dime, and with a mixture of
eagerness and hesitation put himself
where he could hold it before her
eyes. The thrill of pleasure he expe-
rienced in finding what had hereto
fore been insurmountable difficulties
thus easily overcome prevented him
from concentrating his thoughts to
any appreciable extent but neverthe-
less he soon noticed that her eyes
seemed to have become abnormally
large and that there was a vacant
stare i'll them that seemed to indicate
an unusual state of mind.

that she was conscious of any change.

The sound of her voice treasured
him, while her words clearly indicated
that she was not in her normally in
telligent state of mind.
''She is mine," he said to himself,
with sudden thrill, "all mine. My
will predominates and she will do what
l say, and-and hypnotiled people
never remember what happens"
The JOY of it made his blood tingle,
but still he was cautious. He moved
to a divan on the other side Of the
room, and said: "Come here to me,
Martha.
She went to him without n word.
''Sit down beside me-" he said.
She sat down.

1t took him two or three minutes
to get up his nerve for the next move,
but he finally did it.
"Rest your head on my shoulder"
he commanded at last, although not
without some hesitation, and as she
did it his arm stole round her waist.
Talk about rapture!" he muttered.
His heart was beating like trip-Lam-
mer, but for ten minutes he sat there
without moving. Then he heayed

OPPOSITION IN DEFAULT.
ship Than Blind, Pis-Headed
COntrnriness.

The function of a capable and pa
triotic opposition party is of high
use and even of necessity. 1t is to
the distinct advantage of the coun-
try that there should be intelligent
and honest criticism of the party In
power. Otherwise that party may
not always be held up to it's highest
standard or be faithful to it's largest
opportunity. Despising its adver-
sary, it may grow too secure, and
err both in the direction of UNDER
taking too much and of neglecting
too much, says the New York Sun.
The democratic party, incapable at
present of injuring the republicans
in any direct and legitimate way,
may yet bring upon them ultimately
some of the consequences of power
unchecked by a reasonable opposi-
ton. Judged by the general tone of
the democratic speeches on the Phil
ippine tariff bill, the leaders of the
democratic party have no apprecia-
ton of the immovable hostility to
breaking the integrity of American
territory, no appreciation of the
services of American soldiers in the
Philippines, no other craftsmanship
than blind and pig-headed opposi-
ton to republican policies. Through
all the splenetic and violent speeches

with their coarse insults and their
preposterous whoppers, runs the i'm
n ~ VIII
nothing practical to propose, moth
ing even honorable to propose.
There was a democratic party once
that was ready enough to win new
territory for the United States and
never cowardly enough to wish to
give it up. There are plenty of
democrats now faithful to the great
traditions of their party who will
not throw away their patriotism
simply for the sake of butting
against the republican party.
In the senate itself there are demo-
Gratis who don't believe in the let
the-Philippines-go-to -the-devil policy.
But the speeches of the advocates of
the runaway programme seem to
represent the state of mind of the
majority of democratic leaders. Not
only have they not learned anything
since 1900, but, if possible, they have
lost something of what knowledge
they retained. They don't know
enough to respect the territorial
rights of the United States or the
soldiers of the United States. An
opposition so led must continue to
founder in the mud. The repub-
lean party must depend upon its
own members for intelligent criti,
cism.

process. The plucking is done by
women and girls in room set apart
for that purpose. After the carcasses
have been denuded of feathers they
are singed by being held over spirit
lamp and moved back and forth with
rapid motions. After that they are
washed, wiped dry, weighed and packed
into baskets for shipment.
The swell city trade, however, is
not satisfied with poultry fattened
in the common sense manner here
explained. The gourmets of Berlin
and Paris demand crammed geese on
account of their abnormal livers,
served in the enticing but indigest-
ible form of pate de foie gras. The
examining method is not only exceed
ing cruel and unnatural; it also pro-
duces unwholesome meat and dis
gusting mass of flabby fat. There
are several ways of stuffing or cram
ming. In England machine is used
in which the unfortunate birds are
confined. The operator takes out
each victim in turn, fits feeding
tube eight inches down it's throat,
and with his foot pumps the crop
full, disengages the. tube and puts
the bird back into the pen. The
work is done quite rapidly, and birds
once artificially fed will not again
take food naturally. Once the cram
ming is begun it has to be kept up
until the fowl is ready for the mar
ket.
In the Strassburg district the
examining is still more outrageously
conducted. The geese are confined
in narrow latticed coops or sewed up
in coarse linen. Nothing shows but
the head, neck and tail. And still
more diabolical is the old method of
forcing the bird into an earthen pot
where it is kept until the vessel is
cracked by the increasing fat of the
victim. The crop of the helpless
cackler is stuffed full as often as
occasion may require. In the United
States the humane societies of the
various states would put an end to
such cruelty at once, but in Europe
it is countenanced, yea encouraged,
by the so-called 'best people,
Thirty or 40 years ago examining
was practiced quite generally, but
now, as has been said, it is confined
to certain localities. The goose con-
sumers have learned to prefer the
healthy granted birds to the ILL
smelling stuffed variety. Neverthe-
less, as long as the capitals of Eu-
rope and the large cities of America
and Australia are not only willing
but anxious to pay enormous prices
for pate de foie gras examining will
go on.

ONLY THE REAL FACTS.
senseless Utterances of Democrats
Regarding the Appointment of
Secretary Shaw,

The attempt of some newspapers to
assign political reasons for the selec-
ton of Gov. Shaw to be the successor
of Secretary Gage is senseless. Surely,
if President Roosevelt had formed the
intention to gain some real or
fancied political advantage through,
the filling of the place to be left va
can't by the resignation of Secretary
Gage, that intention would have been
discernible in his first choice for the
position. But not even the most dill
gent seeker after political motives,
would have been able to find the sem
blance of one behind the selection of
a man from Massachusetts,. And no.
body will readily believe that Presi-
dent Roosevelt suddenly took it into
his head to make political point with
the filling of this cabinet position, aft
er Gov. Crane had declined the offer
OF the appointment, says the Albany
Journal.
The simple fact of the matter is
that it has been the Presidents aim to
find the right man for the rigth place.
He had found him in Gov. Crane, but
Mn. Crane did not feel inclined to sac
ritice his personal interests in order
to enter the service of the government.
Now the president has found another
man just as well fitted for the secre-
| taryship as Gov. Crane, and he will
accept. These are the simple facts of
the matter.
The best evidence of the excellence
of the presidents choice is the COM.
plete absence of criticism of it, even
on the side of the political opponents
of the administration. The confident
expectation that Gov. Shaw will fully
meet all requirements that will con-
front him in the discharge of his new
duties seems to be unanimous and

ficient in the raising of goosefesh,
which they considered rare table
delicacy. Almost every country seat
had its goose houses, it's goose pas
lures and its goose herds. But the
choicest birds the Roman patricians
procured from the north. Pliny tells
us that in the days of imperial Rome
immense focks of geese were driven
across the Alps every fall from Ger
many and Gaul. The Byzantine no.
bility was equally devoted to the
capitol savers" as the lusty cack-
lers were called. Later on the Car
lovingian and Teutonic emperors con-
tributed to the increase of the
goose's fame as tit-bit par excel
lence; and we read of many noble
feast in which the goose was the
piece de resistance.
The census of 1900 shows a big in
crease in the goose industry of the
United States. Agricultural authori-
ties claim that. everything consid-
cred, the goose is the most profitable
meat fowl the farmer can raise. If
a common sense system of feeding is
pursued the birds Matched in the
spring can be made to attain sat
isfactory weight for the holiday mar
kets. The breed most popular in
America is the Embden, not because
it is remarkably fast grower, but
because it adapts itself to all pos
sible conditions. Its feathers are
springy and full of life and its down
noted for fuffiness and softness.
1t was supposed at one time that
geese could not be raised on farms
which had neither lake nor river
near them. That is an exploded idea,
however. Of course, geese are fond
of the water and delight in a sum-
mer swim, but they do not really need
it. Some of the most extensive goose
ranches of Europe are far away
from running water, yet their sue
cess is phenomenal. Poultrymen are
unanimous in asserting that fresh
drinking water, supplied copiously
and at frequent intervals, is more
important to the goose's welfare
than lake or creek. And that is true
also of ducks and other domesticated
water fowls.

that time 100000 geese are disposed
of to housewives and dealers. The
goose market of Berlin, extending over
the same period, accounts for the dis

The great goose ranches of Central
Europe are located in the provinces of
Holstein and Pommerania, in Prussia;
in the Warsaw district of Poland; in
the Alsatian districts along the Rhine,

goose farms prepare $4,000 birds for
the city markets and for export every
year; and a visit to one of them should
be made by every American who

40 One in Sight who Can Restore the
Democracy to Saner
Methods.

About 40 years ago the democratic
party confronted the issues of the
civil war. 1t had every opportunity to
acquit itself honorably and Loyalty.
But the party turned away from the
great Douglas and settled back in the
hope that the war would be fail
ure.
Three years later the same party
had the opportunity to reconsider it's
recall the war democrats to their party
allegiance and togo before the people
once more as thoroughly American
organization. Yet again it turned it's
back on the men who would save it,
and declared that the war was fail
ure.
On this declaration, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, the democratic party was
banished by the people from the white
house for 20 years. For 20 years it
carried the burden of the declaration
that the war was a failure. For 20
years it fought the old fight on one
result of the war or another. Then
it dropped the issue and was reward.
ed by temporary restoration to
power.
Four years ago the democratic party
was confronted again with the issues
| of the war. At first it met them hon
orably and loyalty. Then, unwarned
by the disasters of 2oyears, it wavered
and faltered. Finally, on the main
question of the war-that of annexa-
tion-it took the old familiar position
the war was failure.
On this issue the party divided and
went down in 1900. Yet now the eau
I Gus of democratic senators in Wash
ington has gone blackjack to the
broken idol of generation since-and
decided that the party shall again go
before the people on the issue of 1900
the issue that the results of the war

the war was a failure.
Among the vivid questions pressing
for settlement just now are reciproc-

Nicaragua canal, tariff concessions to
the Philippines, and the upbuilding of
our merchant marine. But, as repre-
sented by its senator's, the democratic
party has no time for these. Why
heed them? The Philippines are bur-

THE BRYAN TEST.
Applies to the Campaign of 1896 and
Not to That of Four Years
Later.

The following interesting paragraph
appears in late issue of the Com
moner:
AN agent reports that one democrat re-
| fused to subscribe for the Commoner be-
cause he had read in some paper that Mr..
Bryan had gone over to the gold bugs and
was booming Hill for president. If the
aforesaid democrat read the Commoner he
could not be deceived by such absurd ru-
mors. Those who take this paper know
| that the editor neither has doomed, is
booming, nor Will boom any one for the
| democratic nomination who was against
the party in 1896 or even doubtful
And so the Bryanite test of democ-
racy applies to the campaign of 1896
and not to that of 1900, says the Wash
ington Star. This is important, be-
cause there are men-some of consid-
cradle prominence-who have been
nursing the notion that by their sup
port of Bryan in 1900 they washed
away the sin of opposing him in his
first race. Their awakening to the real
situation will be little bitter. They
may hold conference and decide that
they are being unduly punished
something forbidden by the law of
the land.
But while Mr.. Hill alone is named
by Mr.. Bryan, he is not the only man
to whom the Bryan decree applies.
There are others. Mr.. Hill very well
heads the list. He sulked all through
the campaign of 1896, and while he
supported Mr. Bryan in 1900, his
stamping was done in Virginia, where
the republicans had about as much of
chance to win as the democrats had
in Maine. He had no heart in the cam
paign, but was democrat merely for
regularity's sake.
| Mr.. Watterson is ruled out. 1t is
true he was not in the country during
the campaign of 1896, but the infu-
| presides was thrown against Mr.. Bry-
an that year, and Kentucky, for the
/ first time in the states history, cast
all but one of her electoral votes for
the republican national ticket. Sub
sequently Mr.. Watterson returned to
] the fold, and in 1900 carried his state
by a few thousand for Mr.. Bryan. But
i eio', eNSoiHiiiSo W UIiS ldtSSp Cb1SU v,
does not clear his title sufficiently to
recommend him to Mr.. Bryan as man
/ to be doomed for the presidency.
And there is Mr.. Olney. 1t has al
ways been understood that he opposed
Mr.. Bryan in 1896. But by 1900 this
accomplished attorney for syndicated
wealth had become alarmed at the
growth of the power of syndicates in
the United States and voted for Mr..
Bryan. And yet the Bryan rule ex-
cludes him. The Olney boom has never
been very promising, but there is
something that goes by that name. 1t
may not survive this frost.
Mr.. German escapes. He supported
Mr. Bryan in both campaigns, and with
the same serene ineffectuality. Mary
land gave her votes in both years tt
Mr.. Mckinley. But Mr.. Bryan under
stands Mr.. German, and, regularity OF
no regularity, would not boom him
for president under any circum
| stances
