hostilities ensue between Russia and

Turkey, with the moral backing of

The present democratic hue and
cry against the tariff, under the claim
that the conditions have changed

are not honest. The democrats were
no more satisfied with the provisions
Of the Dingley law when enacted
than they are now and they do not
now seek to simply readiust tariff
schedules, and still leave them pro-
tective to American industry and
labor.
Let the democrats nominate Grover
Cleveland by all means if what they
want is a test vote in 1904 on the

 Is it any wonder that hesitated at opportunity for usefulness had never been offered to mortal man; yet the sacrifice was as great as the opportuni- ty. All dreams of love, of wealth, of personal glory must be given up for ever, for my very existence would be merged and lost in this most extraordi- nary combination. Wait said the doctor. 'Let my machine plead it's own cause"
 Then ensued the most wonderful rev. elation of all. The writer laid down his pencil and the spokesman of the com l pany began to talk. And his words showed that this phenomenon, this nameless combination, this thinking of twenty souls with but single thought, l was more enthusiastically devoted to Dr. Easton than any of his other pa tients. It showed that in the exercise l of their combined power of thought each one took as keen pleasure as if the l effort were all his own. The doctor had not only brought back to their dark ened minds the light of reason, but had 1 increased it's power twentyfold, and, in- dividuaiiy and collectively, they all glo-
 
 ried and rejoiced in it. The combina- ton not only urged me by all consid- erations of humanity to join the band, but it showed me what happy life it led. It sang songs, it told stories, it cracked jokes, it played on musical in- struments, it read and recited and act ed, and all with that peculiar and won- derful power of twenty instead of one. I still wavered, but once more the doctors wonderful hypnotic power de- cided for me, and when he approached with the electric wire had no power tc resist. It touched my head, and knew 1 no more.

the arrangements for the comfort and recovery of the patients, all of whom seemed to regard the doctor with ven- eration and affection, not till I had passed one of the pleasantest days of my life with the doctor and his family, that the real object of his summons to me came to light. In the evening he said:
 T have heard of your excellent rec- ord in college, and I believe I can trust you fully if I reveal to you the secret of my life, an invention almost perfected that will not only immortalize my name, but will be of untold benefit to humanity. I need and must have the assistance of young man in perfecting it. The work will call for much sacri- flee, but the reward will be such as should come to one of the greatest ben- efactors of the human race. Will you assist me?"
 Would I! Would any young man with dreams of future happiness let slip chance for wealth and honor, though the way seemed hard? I said:
 T trust you as you have trusted me, and am very much at your service.'
 Come he said. And again I fol- lowed obediently.
 He opened the door of a large, low room, where sat at a table twenty men with the most vacant expression of 1 countenance ever saw on the faces of | human beings. With a start, recog- l nized one former neighbor of mine, a harmless 1unatic, whose mysterious dis appearance had been nine days won- der in the village. The doctor said: | t'You see before you what no other sane man has seen-the result of the labor and investigation of a lifetime. My discovery is simply this-that as in a composite photograph the features of many people are blended in one, so it is possible to combine in one the brain l power of twenty with magnificent re- | suits.
