In ten minutes more he saw them
rising to the surface and poured the
contents OF tie kettle into a pan to cool.
In dim way he remembered that his
mother used to put in favorings, and,
hunting through the cupboard, he found
vanilla and cinnamon and put them in
with generous hand. AS he cooled a
spoonful, however, there seemed to be
something lacking, and after mo-

Queried Of Mrs. Bowser:
Don't you remember that l bought
bottle of wintergreen essence some
time ago! It's exactly what mother
used to use in her candy. Bless me,
but how many times in my boyhood
I have hunted for the delicious winter
green berries!'
IF there is any, you'll find it in the
right hand cupboard she replied, "but
you want to be careful. There are a
lot of other bottles there. 1t smells as
if you had scorched the moasses."
"Iust enough to give it the right
taste. I'll show you some candy that
is candy in about ten minutes. Ii this
smell gets out on the street, everybody
will be wanting taste"
There were u score of bottles in the
cupboard, and Mr.. Bovser ran his eye
over them and selected one and shifted
it's contents and poured them into the
dish and stirred vigorously. This was
the finishing touch. He waited to
bore the dish up stairs in triumph and
set it down under Mrs. Bowser's nose
and said:
eff you don't say that this beats any
thing you ever tasted, I'll buy you the
incest hat in town. Pitch right in"

she shifted at it.
"Your nose must be off. The smell is
simply delicious, and as for the taste
ah-um!'
There was only one "ah-um!' He
began to choke as he chewed, but recol-
lecting that Mrs Bowser had opposed
him he bravely hung on until she sud
denly rose up and said:
"Are you sure you got the right bottle
out of the cupboard?'
"Of course I'm sure. What's the mat

But do you think I'm such a fool

pale and lost his taste for old fashion
ed molasses candy in an instant.

He followed her down to the kitch-
Ell, and she picked up the empty bottle
and read the label and held it out to
him. The word "BenZine' was bigger
than a house. but he had dOped his

which time the ram, with her two
sixty-four FOUNDER bow guns, raked all
the ships. The CarO1delet ran into
shallow water where the Arkansas
couldn't follow, carrying twenty shots
in her pipes, beams and principal ma
chinery. The Tyler was hit eleven
times and, with the Queen OF the west,
steamed rapidly away.
Brown knew that the escaping Fed
erals would alarm the feet in the MIS-
sissippi and crowded on full power to
give chase. He had been hit In the
fight but with blood streaming down
his cheeks walked the deck, Animal
inc his crew. One of the Federal shots
had cut pipe, and the steam dropped
down to twenty pounds, hardly enough
to turn the engines. But for this accl-
dent Brown would have been able to
use the ram in the fight. Soon after
the ram swung into the Mississippi
it came in sight of Federal fleet
whose hulks alone seemed literally to
bar the channel Of the mighty river.
There were ironclads superior in armor

You see the pole bend and hear 1t whiz

President continues his assault upon the
trust persimmon with the nine-foot pole
of a constitutional amendment the own
ers of all the persimmons on the tree will
continue to regard his operations with
amused Indifference. But if he should
TAX up the long and effectual pole of

SPARKS PAYS HIGH WAGES.

Several Republicans were industriousIy
employed yesterday in circulating a story
that John Sparks is paying the men en-
ployed in his Wedekind and Bell mines
only 81 rs per day. A well-known local
miner hearing the report asked Mr..
Sparks in presence of a crowd
wages he paid. Mr.. Sparks replied hat
he paid the men working in his mines
50 70 per day, they board where they
choose and none but labor union men are
employed. Before Mr.. Sparks purchased
the Wedekind and Bell mines 81 so was
the highest wages paid miners in Washoe
county and as soon as he became owner
of those properties he raised the wage
scale. The highest wages paid by other
mine owners in Washoe county is SO per
day and a majority of them pay only
81 80 per day.-Virginia Report.

The Virginia Chronicle contradicts the
latest and most ridiculous canard circu-
lated by the Nevada Republican press as
follows:
A report has been circulated In some
of the State papers that Charles A.
Towne has Joined the Republican party
and was coming here to make Republican
speeches. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Mr.. Towne not only has not
returned to the Republican party but he
intended to stump Nevada for the Fusion
ticket and would nave been among us
at this moment If his oil business at
Beaumont, Texas, had not required his
immediate attention at this moment
What the Republican press means by or
iginating and giving circulation to such
outrageously false and ridiculous asser-
tons is hard to tell, but the effect II
produces it not good for the party they
represent.

thousands of dollars for the relief of the
