Then Farmer Jones saw sight that

went to the can containing her own
milk, pushed it under the pump spout
and, taking the pump handle in her
teeth, began TO work it up and down,
filling the can to the top. Then she
turned and, swinging her tail in tri-
umph, walked back to the barn.

day there was no water in the milk

was no Daisy in the barn, for she was

"Never, madam; never"
"Then your farm hands did,"
"No. ma'am. They don't handle the

Impossible. assure you. They are

well, there's just this about it: If
this watering the milk docs not stop
shall have to get milk from some one
else"
Every well, ma'am," said the milk
man, bowling. but he made up his mind
to find out who watered the milk.
That evening when he had MIXED
the COWS and set the milk to cool by
the pump in the barnyard he took his
seat behind the corncrib and watched.
Pretty soon he saw Miss Daisy. the

carefully from behind the barn.

born and las held its first
meeting here in Washington,
with adjournment to Chicago
Just prior to the Republican national
convention. The leaguers had an up
roarious and redhot time. The Roose-
Welt and anti-Roosevelt factions fought
each other tooth and nail, and it was
nip and tuck betwiXt them, victory in
Ginning first to one side, then to t'Other.
The principal facts which must seem
portentous to Republican leaders are
that the Afro-Americans are wax
ing up to realization of their power
in the G. @. P, and that they propose
to be at Chicago early to have their
numerous claims heard. Inter ALA,
they threaten sure death to every Re-
publican candidate for congress who
does not place himself behind the
Dick resolution" procedure which is
quite likely to render General Charles
Dick of Ohio as famous as Charles
Dickens Mr.. Dick in David Copper
field" 1t is to be hoped that the
Afro-Americans will enforce their
claims at Chicago. They arc too mod
est by half and hitherto have scram-
bled and tuggcd and toiled and
scrapped for the mere crumbs which
fall from the table of their new mas
tiers, the Republican leaders. They
ought to demand their full share of the
Republican official loaves and fishes.
They hold the power of political life
and death over the G. U. +. Instead Of
claiming only f-w paltly Offices, they
are in a position to demand. and to en-
force the demand, that one of their
president OH the Republican ticket at
Chicago, with solemn promise that
II the Republicans carry the country
at least two of their number shall
be members of the cabinet and that
the other big offices be divided be-
tween white Republicans and Afro
American Republicans on fair basis,
numbers considered. Would the Re
publican convention dare refuse? Not
much; for without the Afro American
vote the Republicans would stand no
more show of electing president than
they do of electing a governor of Texas.
OF course they would kick, squeal,
wheedle, bride and bluff, but finally
they would come down out of the tree
and surrender. The Afro-Americans
have the Republican game in their own
hands if they have the nerve to play it
for all it is worth. Properly. intelli-
J gently and courageously led, they are
masters of the Republican situation
!, and can be IT.

Deficit In Babies.

OOUCIS IN 0dpiSVs
The careful and prayerful attention
Of the stand patters is called to the def
icit in babies. They constitute the
most important product in this country
or any other. Not long since the aston
ishing statement was published broad
cast and the attention of my readers
was called to 1t that there was short
age Of 10000 in the Iowa baby crop.
That was variously explained as ''the
exception which proves the rule" as
untrue" as 'the fault Of the enumer-
ators," etc. Now the report comes,
from Indiana that there is a large def
icit in Hoosierdom. The stand patters
are always believing about our in
creased production in all lines of hui
man cndeavor never failing to attrib-
ute it to the blessed and sacred Dingley
tariff bill. Wonder if the higher cost
of living has anything to do with the
short crop Of babies in Iowa and Indi-

A Straw.
"Straws show which way the wind

the conduct Of certain great metro
politan papers indicates that their ell-
tors and managers believe that the
Democrats will carry the country. For
instance, in 1896 the only considerable
daily in New York which supported the
Democratic candidates was William
Randolph Hearsts American, per-
Torrance which may make him presi-

only ayowed champion of the admins

1896 and 1900 we had to depend almost
entirely upon the country press, and it
rendered yeoman service. The right
about face of SO many metropolitan
dailies is significant Of the changed
public opinion and perhaps foreshad-
ows the result next November, for those
papers have much more potent influ-
ence in the cities than in the rural dis
trtets, and 1t is in the large cities, such
as New York, Boston, indianapolis and
Baltimore, that we have been making
our largest gains lately. Whether we
carry New York state depends almost
entirely upon the size Of our majority
in New York city. The same remark
applies also to Baltimore and Mary.
