She sat on the top step and wiped
her wet hands on James apron. The
young man found time to glance at
her now and then, but he did not neg
lect his work Indeed, after watching
his vigorous operations for few min
utes Mollie felt it necessary to curb
his zeal.
.'You will wear the curtains out if
you rub so hard" she said. "See
This is the way" And she took his
place at the tub. Her pupil looked on
admiringly.
AYE, there's the rub" he said softly,
for the moment forgetting his part.
Mollie turned and looked at him in
surprise. "Do you like 'HamletY" she
asked
He was ON his guard again IT new

''bein' only poor washerman-"
"Oh," Mollie exclaimed, lis washing
your usual occupations"
TITS a good one, ma'am, as you
know, or you wouldn't be at it your
self, begin your pardon" He bent
low over the tub as he made this
speech.
"Yes," she said gravely, at is a good
occupation making things clean and
sweet. Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness Now the curtains are in the rinse
water and We'll have lunch, and then
get them on the line as soon as posi-
ble.'
So they ate bread and jelly together
on the back steps to the dismay of
Mrs Klapper, who saw them from an
open window.
When Dick came home from the Of
fee little later she met him at the
door. "Well,' he said to her, 81 sup
pose you've had two callers this morn
ing-the man after work and my old
friend Carol. l was surprised when
he walked in"
Mrs. Klapper looked mystified.
"Only one man came" she said.
Hes here now, helping Miss Mollie
wash curtains. They were sitting on
the steps awhile ago, eating cold
lunch together. You'd be frightened
if you knew how she's trusted that
strange young man. told her it was
dreadful risky, but she said she'd trust
him exactly as she would any friend
of yours, and she liked him much bet
ter-all but his language, which was
not always grammatical. I believe he
heard her, too, for he's been freer than
ever since"
Dick sta1ked through the house ando on
to the back porch. A cuf1ess, collarless
young man was hanging curtains on
the line Dick could not see his face,
but there was something familiar about
those broad shoulders.

kie, and was down the steps with

Moilbe's assistant turned, finger on

me for a washerman, and like the

ears had caught the word of warning
and an explanation was unavoidable.
I'm sure that she forgave him, for
he is still in her service. Cupid does
not always STAY his victims with ar

WOMEN WORKERS.
Odd Ways In which Some of Them

Odd Ways In Which Some of Them
Earn Their Living.
In the old days there were practically
only three ways in which a woman
might earn her nving-by sewing, by
teaching and by nursing. Anything else
was considered unladylike, and indeed
any other occupation was not likely to
be open to women. Now all is changed,
and we keep hearing of new ways by
which woman can earn her daily bread.
For instance. in Berlin Gust think of
it, that most un-new womanly cityD
women sign painters are no novelty.
There is a regular school for them.
They learn how to use the brush and
how to mix paints. Gymnastic train
ing is carefully practiced before they
are allowed to ascend the scaffolding,
SO that they may not lose their nerve

THE PRESIDENCY AND SOAP.
Democrats scheme for Helping His
Party Win the Next National
Campaign.

Soap, if rightly applied, has often
proved an available lubricator of poll
tical machines. Years ago it was
charged that soap had been introduced
into a campaign in Indiana. but it re-
mained for Mayor John Hinkle, of
Columbus, to propose n scheme by
which the democratic party could be
helped with soap to win the next ma
tional campaign, says the Cleveland
Leader.
The mayor has, it is said, made an
offer which will give the democrats Il
campaign fund for 1904. He will give
the party a share of the proceeds of
the sale of soap in the manufacture of
which he is doubtless interested. He
will do the marketing himself. and for
every gross of bars sold he will CON
tribute $1.20 to the democratic fund.
The only condition is that the fund,
when created, shall be used for the
election of a president in favor of the
public ownership of public utilities,
equal taxation for all and special priv
ileges for none, who is opposed o mon
arches and empires and against wars
of determination, whether in South
African or elsewhere.
Of course, it is not stipulated that
the democrats shall use the soap them
selves or compel other people to use it;
they have nothing TO do but take their
share of the proceeds and incidentally,
of course, to say good word for the
soap that is to grease the ways to tie
white house for a democratic presi-
dent But why not make Hinkle the
democratic candidate, if Tom Johnson
will permit it? With "Hinkle, soap and
suds," the party could hardly fail to
win. Great is democratic statesman
ship in these early days of the TWEEN
tieth century.

RECORD OF RECIPROCITY,
Goes Hand In Hand with the True
American Policy of Pro-
lection.

The well meaning but misguided gen
tlemen who are now somewhat shrilly
inveighing against reciprocity as con-
trary to true republicanism and to
true American policy, would do well
to look up the record, says the New
York Tribune.
James Gillespie Blaine was, we be-
lieve. generally regarded as partic-
ularly robust and aggressive Ameri-
can. He was regarded by the repub-
lican party as a good enough repub-
lican TO be its presidential candidate
and one of its very foremost leaders
for many years. He was regarded as
so sound protectionist as TO be looked
20, by common consent, as the one
great protagonist of protection
against Grover Cleveland's free trade
propaganda. Yet Blaine was the chief
founder and advocate of the policy of
reciprocity, and it was owing princi-
palIy to his influence and eXertions
that reciprocity provisions were an
neXed to the Mckinley tariff law of 1890.
under which reciprocal trade relations
were established with no fewer than
ten countries. to our great gain.
The republican national platform
of 1890. referring to that feature of the
Mckinley bill. said: "We point to the
success of the republican policy of
reciprocity" Under democratic rule,
by means of the unhappy Wilson tariff
bill. reciprocity was abolished, with la
mentabie results. Referring TO that
fact, the next republican national plat
form, in 1896. declared: 1--WE believe
the repeal of the reciprocity arrange
ments negotiated by the last repub-
lican administration was national ca
lamity, and we demand their renewal
and extension.
"Protection and reciprocity are
twin measures of republican policy,
and go hand in hand"
Again. in 1900. the republican nation
al platform. after speaking of protes-
ton. said: 1--WE favor the associated
policy of reciprocitt."
William Mckinley was regarded as
one of the foremost Protectionists OF
his time, and as a good enough repub-
| lican for that party to elect twice to
the presidency of the United States.
In his last public utterance he said:
"Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth
| of our wonderful industrial develop
ment under the domestic policy now so
! firmly established. Reciproc-
! ity treaties are in harmony with the
| spirit of the times.s
We are inclined to think that Blaine,
Mckinley and the last three repub-
lcan national conventions were about
as good authorities on true repub-
| licanism" and "true Americanism" as
any that can now be found.

The first number of the Dillon (WyO.)
Doublejack has appeared, but there
were strenuous times first. "All of the
type for this ISSUE" says Editor Grant
Jones, formerly Of Chicago, has been
set in a windowless building, where
light was shed only through blankets.
The cases containing this type were
scattered around on benches and on
the floor, as the case racks did not ar
rive until two days before going tc
press. Three forms of pages were set
before the press itself came over the
mountains. Each paper crossed over
the continental divide from the Pacific
to the Atlantic slope, and the sled
which carried it has been dragged for
miles over snow averaging more than
four feet in depth and over drifts often
20 feet in depth"

An idea of the extraordinary power
that is used at Marconis Table Head
station for transmitting messages
across the Atlantic by space teleg-
raphy is given by DR.. Parkin, who sent
to the London Times the first complete
message. lie says the apparatus is OF
such remarkable power that the
sound, as each letter is Transmitted
is so great in volume that it is neces-
sary to use cotton as a protection for
the eardrums. He compares the send
ing of a message to miniature thun-
derstorm. y spark, fully half an inch
in width, is shot out upon the air whe1
the key is pressed.

During his stay in our country many
voices have praised DR.. LorenA, the
u l.. ,, gre t Austrian
physician, for the
h'or - D"e' freedom with which
he gave his invaluable services gratui-
tously to families unable TO pay sur
gical fees. And he has not been praised
n whit too much. But there has been
injustice done the medical profess ion,
declares the Chicago Interior, in many
comments which inferentiaIly exalted
him as singular and alone in such be-
nevolence. We do not believe there is
anywhere a reputable physician who
is not according to his circumstances
as free handed with his skill and serv,
ices as DIR. Lorenz. The typical physi-
clan of the times is pretty rigid about
collecting his bills from those who can
pay, but he never refuses calls to homes
that cannot pay. We do not believe
that there is another profession on
earth that gives so much unpaid sery-
ice to humanity as the profession of
medicine, nor any other profession
whose traditions Of charitableness are
so fine.

A DEMOCRATS DELUSION.
Republican History shows That the
Party Was Never Party
of Changes.

The Louisville Courier-Journal,i in an
attack on the republicans, falls in
to a common but ineXcusable er-
ror. says the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. After saying that the
first republican party in the Unit
ed States was that now called the dem
ocratic, il declares: The republican
party organized in 1854 took the cast
off name of the democrats, but it was
not then conservative party; quite
the reverse. The democrats had been
in power for half a century, with brief
intervals. and were the conservative
party"
No radical change was asked by the
republican party Of 1854. In adopt
ing the name of Jetferson's old party,
it also adopted Jefferson's old creed.
jefferson tried in the congress of the
confederation to have slavery shut out
of all the territories of the United
States after the year $500. This affect
ed slavery below the Ohio river as well
as above it. In this respect, Jetfer-
sons proposition differed from the
act passed by congress three years
later, the ordinance of 1857, which pro-
hbited Immediately the further in
PRODUCTION of slavery into the region
north of the Ohio. 1t was one of JEFF
ferson's griefs to his dying day that
his anti-slavery proposition of 1884
failed to pass.
The republican party of 1854 adopted
the jefferson theory as to slavery. and
aimed to shut it out of the territories.
The republicans were the conserva-
tives and the democrats were the radi-
Gals in that crisis. The democrats of
1S50-6l-the southern section of them
demanded that slavery should be ad-
mitted into all the territories, thus as
sailing Jefferson's doctrine, and sub
mitting for it doctrine invented by
Calhoun, Rhett and others in 1S47.
That Calhoun doctrine, when Benton
and most of the old Jacksonian ele-
ment of the democracy fought, was n
new departure for that party, and led
it into trouble not only with the re-
publicans, but with the Douglas men
in its own camp. When the Courier
Journal looks over the field little
more carefully ii will discover that
the republicans of 1S54-61 stood on
ancient democratic ground in advocat-
ing the saving of the territories for
freedom, and that the democratic de-
generates who abandoned that posi-
ton assailed a belief which was spe-
cially dear to the founder of their
party.

Another Murder at Charlton.

town on the Monongahela just above

murders six within ten days. When
many people were on the main street

volver and shot a negro named
Charles Mack, of Harrisville. KY.
killing him instantly. The murderer
fed to the hills and had not been cap
tured at midnight. The men appar-
emily did not know each other, but it
seems the negro made some remark
that angered the white man, and be-
fore the bystanders realized that a
quarrel was on, the killing was done.

THE season of catching cold is upon


/ us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin OF
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter-
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex-
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat.

The study of slang in the making has

man who coined the word ''chump?'
Who first thought of saying to his
rival: go way back and sit down."
No one seems to know, and the inquirer
has to be contented with inferior spe-
cimens for study. One Of these has just
come to light in Chicago. 1t is not one
of the elusive sort, full of fancy and in
spring suggestion. But it has the
merit of having been designed, as it
were, before our eyes, like the wheat
cakes which the white-capped cook
makes in the window ofa dairy res
taurant. 1t is the word seq" which
is applied to the young women now at
tending the University of Chicago.
Since coeducation has been abolished,
it is obviously inaccurate to call them
eo-eds. The new word is certainly as
euphonious as the old (more so, if any
thing, because it has no hiatus), it is
highly descriptive and not in the least
uncomplimentary.
