THE STOLEN HORSE.
An Old Proverb With a New AppIi
tim

An Old Proverb With a New Applica-
ton.
The woods are full of "so-called''
remedies for Badness.
You may call anything in creation a
remedy, but to use them is like lock-
ing the stable after the horse is stolen.
Badness and Dandruff are caused by
a germ-if you don't kill the germ the
germ will kill the hair.
Scientists have labored with the prob
lem of preventive for Badness for
many years.
Newbro's Herpicide is the product of
a modern idea, and will cure Dandruff
and prevent Badness because germs
cannot exist when you apply Herpicide.
Herpicide is a valuable hair dressing
and scalp disinfectant as we'll as a cure
for Dandruff.

TILLERs OF THE COTTON FIELDS.

Some weeks ago Andrew Carnegie
cotton crop of the country, and said
in effect that the South could not
get along without them. Mr.. Carnegie
had the idea that all of the cotton fields
were titled by black labor. major
ity of the people of the North are Of
the same opinion. immigration agents
interested in Western traffic have so
often asserted that white men cannot
work in the hot climate of the South,
that all manual labor is performed by
negroes, that the white laborer is put
on social footing with the negro, and
other similar stories, that the people
of the North have come to believe
them.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. Carnegie re-
ceives the bulletins issued by the
census bureau, and that he studies
them. One of them recently issued
touches upon the classes of labor en-
ployed on cotton farms. 1t shows
that last year the cotton acreage of
the country, exclusively in the South
of course, was 24,OOO,O00 acres. or
this amount, 14,5OOOO0 acres were work
ed by white labor and nearly 100000
acres were worked by white mana
gers" who rented lands and employ
ed negro laborers to do part of the
work. Both whites and blacks worked
on these farms.
atQh 70
authentic, show that two-thirds, at
least, of the great cotton crop are rails
ed by white labor; and we have no
doubt that the proportion of the crop
raised by white labor will increase
year after year, as it has done for
long time. The cotton crop of the cur
rent season, now coming into market,
will be worth more than $7OO,OOO,OOO,
two-thirds of which enormous wealth
was dug out of the earth with white
hands. Doesn't that look as il there
were profitable and honorable employ
ment in the South for white labor?
And doesn't it look as if the white
labor were taking advantage of the
opportunity?
The assertion of the Western immi-
grafton agents that all labor in the
South is on the same footing is, of
course, moonshine, as desirable classes
of immigrants are finding out. White
labor is more efficient, is better paid,
lives better and adds much more to
the prosperity and responsibility of the
community. White labor has demon
strated that it is far the best in the
mills and factories, and it is demon
strating the same thing with respect
to the cotton fields.

rum the OHlCdSO IIIDuIics
It's all in how you look at things
if there's northeast breeze
That comes and shakes the snow from
where it's clinging to the trees,
Why then's the time to set your mind
on balmy days of spring,
And you can see the orchards where
the apple blossoms fling
Their cleaning petals in the air until
they leap and dance
And catch the silver sunshine in their
airy fairy dance.
It's all in how you look at things
at night you hear a ''plop!"
And think of bursted water pipes; but
that's the time to stop
Your moody thoughts of wintertime,
and see the old mill pond,
With idle stretches of the brook that
reach the fields beyond;
And when again you hear the "plop!'
you know it is the tune
The jolly frogs are singing when they
serenade the moon.
It's all in how you look at things
when twilights calm is here,
And there's restless "zoo-ing''
through the frigid atmosphere,
Do not permit your thoughts to dwell
upon the billiards. voice,
But think of the mosquitoes song, and
soon you will rejoice,
Believing that 1t is July and you are
by the sea,
Intent upon the concert of mosquito
revelrY.
It's all in how you look at things
if chillblains smite your feet,
Remember how 1t used to feel to walk
through stubbly wheat:
II once you manage to obtain the men
tai attitude
That brings to mind the things to
which so lightly we allude,
Thermometers that cry, "Oh. look how
far below we've got!"
Will find their zero arguments are
simply put to naught.

An ODE TO WINTER.

CnlllDlalnS were not the only Things
developed by the recent cold wave in
Pennsylvania; at least one poet has
come into view with the dropping of
the thermometer to a point away be-
low zero. His name is Wilson, and he
sings in the Bloomsbury Daily of the
weather. Being careful poet, he
clings close to facts. Notwithstanding
he INDUCES in poetic license for the
purpose of Illuminating them. His
statement at the beginning, odd Win
ter has come at last" cannot be sue
cessfully disputed in view of this:
The ground is covered with a feecy
white.
Hiding all vegetation from our sight;
And it is said by sages old,
That they scarcely ever witnessed
winter SO cold.
Mercury has even fallen as low,
AS twenty and fifty-two below;
In Bloomsbury it stood at twenty
eight.
And the boys and girls made good
use of their skates.
Surrounded by snow and writing of
snow, it will be observed that he does
not refer to it as 'the beautiful" for
which departure from the beaten path
of poesy he is entitled to the warm
thanks of the reading public. And, in
deed, a little something warm would
seem not to be out of place where the
temperature, the sages old assure him,
is just about as low as they have ever
seen. However. Notwithstanding the
intensity of the cold, the people of
Bloomsbury made the most of the sit
uation:
Sleighing parties are the pleasures of
the day.
And many are enjoying themselves
in this way;
Fathers and mothers take their chill
dren out.
And seem to take pleasure in riding
them about.
The fathers and mothers were posi-
bly, thinking of the price of coal; still
they threw q pleasing front" and
made everybody believe they thought
it the finest fun in the world to ride
the children about; and there would be
none so bold or pessimistic as to sug-
gest that the seeming pleasure was
mere assembling. Still, in poetry as
in politics. it is always safe to qualify
some statements that admit of the pos
sibility of doubt. In the next stanza
it is still cold:
AS you go walking on the street.
You can hear the patter of the horses
feet
And the ringing of the sleighing bells,
Bringing to your heart gladstone
knoll.
Gladstone knell," we submit, is fine.
Alfred Austin will be sorry he never
thought of that combination; he might
have used it in his verses on the Boer
peace. Our Pennsylvania poet, how
ever. possibly had in mind the pneu-
monia and grippe to come after the
sleighing. This suggestion is hight
ened by the following:
And all this reminds me God is love,
And dwells in that beautiful city
above;
But how does all this pleasure COM
pare.
With the pleasures in that beautiful
city up there.
Now kind friends take warning from
this.
And prepare in this life to Eternal
| bliss:
And when this mortal life is over,
You will land your soul on the ever
green shore.
There you are! A word picture, a
weather report, a local item and an ex-
hortation to better things and higher
life. all within the compass of one
short poem True, the verses limp a
little. but it must be recalled that the
mercury was 2S below. under which
conditions even poets feet may be-
come frostbitten.

In all localities i'm the North
where negroes settled in considerable
numbers there is noticeable
change of sentiment in regard to the
movement in the South to disfranchise
the negro. 1t hasn't been so many
years since everywhere in the North
there was a strong demand that the
South should suffer loss of representa-

negro. Indeed there was such SYM

problem with any sort of satisfaction
with a Northern Republican.

Sir William Abney at the Royal
Institution recently discussed color
photography. The lecturer prefaced his
remarks by a discussion of moonlight,
which is without red rays. The poet's
tale of seeing hoodstains by moonlight
is, therefore-mere moonShine. The
results of the newest methods Of color
photography are, Sir William thinks,
practically perfect. Their application
to the microscope in archaeological
work and to flowers for botanical at
lases will, he thinks, prove to be of
immense practical Importance.

LEADER MURPHY's UNDERTAKING

1t seems that Mr.. Charles F. Muir
ply, the Tammany leader, has under
taken the task of bringing about bet
ter feeling between Mr.. Bryan and
other Democratic leaders. According
to reports, he is of the opinion that the
real trouble with Mr.. Bryan is that
he feels that it is the purpose of the
other leaders of the party to ignore
him, and he doesn't intend they shall
do so without having trouble on their
hands.
A story that is told is that when Mr..
Bryan was in Europe Mr.. Murphy adj
vised the other leaders to take Mr..
Bryan into the party councils when he
returned and endeavor to placate him.
He pointed out that Mr.. Bryan was
receiving great deal of attention from
the leading men of other countries and
that naturally he felt he was a pretty
big man. If he were ignored by the
leaders of his party on his return he
would resent 1t. and would set about
finding ways for getting even, as it
were. This advice, it seems, was ig-
nored. The other party leaders let Mr..
Bryan severely alone. Hence he took
an early opportunity to inform them
that the st. Louis convention must re-
affirm the Kansas City platform or he
would know the reason why.
Mr.. Murphy is still striving to get
Mr.. Bryan into harmony with the other
leaders-at least, that is the statement
that is appearing in the public prints.
If the statement is correct he isn't
meeting with much success. Mr.. Bryan
now has a new issue. 1t is, Shall the
money changers rule the United
States?" 1t seems that he thinks this
should be the paramount issue, and
says it includes all the other issues,
free silver and the rest.
AS a matter of fact. however, 1t is
doubtful if Mr.. Murphy is doing any
thing in the direction of bringing Mr..
Bryan into harmony with the other
leaders. 1t is a question whether he
has ever attempted to do anything of
that kind. No doubt he would like to
see entire harmony in the party, but
there is no reason why he should set
himself up as a harmonizer. 1t has
been stated many times that he is
favorable to the nomination of Mr.,
Cleveland. Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Cleve-
land are as far apart as the poles
Being Cleveland man. it doesn't seem
reasonable that Mr.. Murphy would
have much influence with Mr.. Bryan.
1t may be true that Mr.. Bryan feels
| aggrieved that the party leaders
haven't shown desire to have his ad-
vice in the party councils. and has de-
termined to show them that they can
not run the party against his wishes
and that they will have to beg con-
cessions from him before a platform
can be made or a ticket nominated
but the evidence is wanting that Mr.
Murphy is endeavoring to soothe Mr.,
Bryan and bring him into accord with
the other party leaders. 1t begins to
look as If Mr.. Murphy were being
credited with too much influence and
too much power as a leader. He is a
comparatively new man, though a very
capable one, but the otherSleaders OF
the party are not expecting him to run
the party.
