of the good old hard times with Coxey
armies and soup houses. Republicans
make no secret of believing in the in
stitution miscalled imperialism" and
but partly described by the word "ex-
pansion" They want the country to
grow and rejoice that it is growing.
They regard the taking of the Philip
pines as having been duty that to
evade would have been cowardice.
They assert that to keep the Philip
pines is the destiny of this people,
and that this course is the only one
consistent with honor, redounding to
the credit of the United States and to
the benefit of the islands. They hold
that the record of the army has been
clean and honorable, and that the
American soldier fighting under trop-
ic sun does not by this act become
bandit. a thief or an assassin.
All these points are cited simply for
the purpose of throwing preserver to
Democracy as it founders in a slough
OF uncertainty. 1t is different from
Republicanism now, but if it wants to
increase and emphasize the difference
the way is easy enough.-Tacoma

True Amerlcanlsm.

Senator Hanna showed his true
Americanism in the matter of his
daughters wedding gown. He decid-
ed that the material should be Amer
lean made and all the work connected
with the construction Of the garment
be done in this country. He placed
no limit on the expense, but stoutly
affirmed that no foreign texture or for
eign labor should enter into a makeup
of the trousseau. Good for Marcus

Republicans believe in good money,

to indorse silver at the Bryan ratio.
Republicans believe in protection.
Therefore let the Democracy howl for

A dainty bit of ribbon,
An old daguerreotype;
A narrow, silken ribbon
With ndril-threaded stripe.
A tintype of a woman,
With trusting eyes of blue,
A mop of golden tresses,
A face serenely true.

A lot of ancient things

To which the mem'ry clings.
touch the ribbon softly
'Tis part of other years.
And gaze upon the picture
Why! surely these are tears.
One moonlight night we wandered,
Where shade its presence lent
A haven for our dreaming
In climes magnificent.
Along the pathway fragrant
With white catalpa, sweet,
We found the bit of ribbon
Be-petaled at our feet.
Upon its silken textile
We scrawled, in am'rouS mood,
In Cupid's sweetest language
Loves hieroglyphics rude.
Then clipped the silk asunder-
Each kept an equal part
To join again forever
If heart were true to heart.
And now find the ribbon,
The old daguerreotype,
Heirlooms of loves first dreaming
And times relentless flight.
Out in the Dreamland Country.
Where croons the whippoorwill,
Mayhap, with hope eternal,
She keeps her ribbon still!
Here in the Land of Waking,
In Fate's eternal fight.
! cherish well my ribbon,
And her daguerreotype!

There was a time when a self re-
specting woman coud manage hired
girl with neatness and dispatch. Now
she is lucky if she gets any old kind
of domestic to manage her. Time
was, too, when a man that mad a
mother-in-law was condoled with.
Now he is looked upon as a lucky
dog, always sure of something to
eat upon arrival home from a mental
and physical gymnastic that empties
a breadbasket completely. Just what
We will do to make good" on kitchen
artisans is a problem that even the
newly rich are bordering while the
newly married are right up against
the dead wall of dyspepsia and defeat.
The domestic of twenty years ago
could begin at "a" and go to az in
the household labor category. The
girl of to-day is too weak to do the
washing and seldom strong enough to
manipulate the ironing. The China
man is anxious to take the servant
girls place, but he gives one the
creeps and mental suggestion that
he will steal upon you some night as
you slumber and choke you to death
with his cue. 1t is indeed sad ques-
ton for those who are foolish enough
to eat. Those who don't eat, admit
they are getting along fairly well on
health foods.

He stood in his robe at day-break.
In his scarlet robe-de-nuit.
And he pondered well the problem
OF summer or winter suit.
The sun fell aslant his cottage.
AS the cars sped swift away,
And he questioned the new born zephyr
In what he should dress that day.
To dazzle the crowd with his linens
And pose as a hero bold?
or to stick to his winter rigging
And laugh at the chilling cold?
How often, Oh, how often.
He had studied the sky at morn
Gone forth in his pristine SPRING
To SILVER and shake forlorn-
King Sol, in his royal splendor.
Now tempted with balmy heat.
But bv night would he order sneezing
And admonish to soak his feet?
The sun fell aslant the cottage,
AS the cars sped swift away.
And he questioned the new born zephyr
In what he should dress that day.
And a nameless longing filed him
A longing almost a pain.

GROCERIES


The dead line in Christian Endeayor
a reached when we cease to grow.
The training school idea should never
be lost sight of in Christian Endeavor.
Every convention ought to aim at
some definite accomplishment-and hit
1t.
The Endeavor society that is not
moving forward is surely slipping
backward
Any Endeavorer is made more loyal
to his own church by reason of his
loyalty to Christian Endeavor.
Our motto is For Christ and the
Church." which can in nowise be con-
strued as putting the society first"
The workman lays down his labors.
They may be seemingly unfinished, but
God has another in reserve. His great
training school never closes.
1t is remarkable how quickly duty
will change into desire when Gods
purposes are behind it. The secret of
the success of the Christian Endeavor
pledge finds emphasis here.-John Il.

do you know why we dip razor

norant men say razon is 'tiredT" ask

to the fact that razor is saw, not
a knife, and it works like Il saw, not
like knife. Examined under the
microscope its edge, that looks SO
smooth to the naked eye, is seen to
have innumerable and fine saw teeth.
When these teeth get clogged with dirt
all the honiBg and strapping in the
world will do no good-the razor is
dull and nothing will sharpen it, Then
is the time the ignorant say it is
tired and stop using it. but the wise
know it is only clogged.
''The wise, though. don't suffer their
razors to get cIogged. They dip them
in warm water before they use them,
and thus the teeth are kept clean. 1t

When read the fairy story had twipge of
conscience, and resolved not to he SO delinquent;
that Aunt Madge should have what little help i
could give. regardless of my own pleasure. and
yet haven't written.
Now right here permit me to give few
extracts from a HITTER written by George Il.

''what a loaded-up day Is tomorrow. To-day
have been planning what will DO tomorrow.
Duties that unpleasant 10 perform are
turned over to morrow when they might be
attended TO to-day. When tomorrow comes Is
IL not probable that to-morrow's cares viii De
enough TO attend to without the duties that
SHOULD have been looked after to-day?
Tomorrow Is not such important day TO
Il as to-day. Ills so natural to stave of doing
to-day what tomorrow will make 1t even harder
to do"
And SO the letter goes on. 1t fitted though
had been written expressly for me. And he
might well have added that representation Is
TIE thief of time. May put that quotation in
the form Of a question? Who said it?
