Il is plain to see that the Republi-
cans are sadly disappointed at the
harmony in the Democratic party
and the unanimity with which the
ticket has been endorsed by all fac
tiOns of the party. 1t is true the
nominations have not changed the
views OF the Democrats on some
questions, and those differences will
continue to exist, but it has har-
monized all factions OF the party in
hearty support of their nominees.
Differences will exist in parties some
times, but it is patriotic to lay them
aside, TO take up and carry forward
matters Of greater concern to the
country.

goats he had seen meet on Il narrow
bridge and one lay down and let the
other jump over him. Yes. that is
what they did" said the colored par
son, "and there-was no jawing about
giving the right of way; no talk of

The True Home,


The truest homes are often In houses
not especially well kept. where the
comfort and happiness OF the Inmates.
rather than extreme tidiness and the
preservation of the furniture, Is first
consulted. The object of the home Is
10 b. the center, the pivot on which
the family life turns. The first requi-
site is TO make Ii so attractive that
none OF its members shall care to linger
long outside It's limits All legitimate
means should be employed to this end
and no effort spared that can contrib
ute to this purpose. There are many
houses called homes, kept with such
waxy neatness by painstaking. anxious
women that are SO oppressive In their
anxiety as 10 exclude all home feeling
from their spotless precincts. The very
name of hume IL synonymous with per
sonal freedom and relaxation from
care: solid comfort.
But neither of these can be felt
where such a mania for external clean

must be removed on the instant. Their
temper depends upon their mainten-
ance of perfect purity and order. If
there be any failure Oh their part or
any combination of circumstances
against them they fall into IA pathetic
despair and can hardly be lifted out.
They do not see that cheerfulness is
more needed mt home than all the spot
lessness that ever shone. Neatness is
one thing and state of perpetual
house cleaning quite another.
Out of this grows by degrees the
feeling that certain things and apart
ments are too good for daily use. Hence
chairs and sofas are covered and oroms
shut up. save for special occasions.
when they are permitted to reveal their
violated sacredness in Il manner that
mars every pretense of hospitality.
Nothing should be bought which is
considered too fine for the fullest do

The Morning Hurry.

AS far as is possible we should avoid
the hurry and furry that usually pre-
cedes the slam of the front door, as the
children get off to school. 1t Is diff
cult to manage. there is no doubt. The
mother dlslikes. more than anything
else. perhaps. waking her child out of
Il sound sleep, and this often has to be
done II he is to have his breakfast and
dress properly before school Usually
she leaves him till the very last minute,

eaten breakfast and hurry and hustle
to get off is the result This can ONLY
he obviated satisfactorily by instituting
earlier hours for going to bed, that the
child may wake early as a natural
thing.
In many homes, even without the
late sleeping, there is hurry in the
morning. The children are allowed 10
get into lazy habits and procrastinate
TO an exasperatlng and injurious de-
gree. Then. as the moment approac bes
when the leaving for school can be no
longer delayed, there Is undue anxiety
on the part Of the mother and a scene
of excitement that is good for neither
mother nor children.

Where They We're Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
erality distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
Of the country. In his book on The
Overland Stage to California" Frank.
lin Root tells how the overloaded mails
were sometimes relieved.
Before the daily mail went into op-
Grafton, and when a stage went to Salt
Lake only once week, some of the
boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mall mat
ter came quite handy at times.
Occasionally the drivers, MS they
themselves said, would get stalled
going through n bad slough in rough
weather, and would be unable to move
In that case they were obliged to take
out sack after sack of the Pub
Docs" open the bags and pile the
massive books from the government
printing office into the slough, and by
building a solid foundatio with them,
were enabled thus to pull the coach
out of the mire.
