The unknowns were indeed going in
on large scale. They intended even.
tually to log the whole of the Ossa
winamakee basin. For this reason they
had made their first purchase. planted
their first fOothod. near the headwa
tiers. Some day they would buy all the
standing government pine in the basin.
but In the meantime they would steal
all they could at a sufficient distance
from the lake to minimize the danger
of discovery. Every stick cut mean
30 much less to purchase later on.
.Urpe knew that ln,u occupied In
so precariOus Il business would be keen
~ on the watch. At the lrst hint Of
rivalry they would buy in the timber
they had selected. But the situation
had set his lighting blood TO racing.
They undoubtedly wanted the tract
down river. Well. so did he.
He pnrDoged to look it over carefully,
TO ascertain lis exact boundaries and
what sections it would be necessary to
buy in order to include it, and perhaps
even 10 estimate it in a rough way. In
the accomplishment of this he would
have to spend the summer and perhaps
part Of the fall in that district. He
could hardly expect to escape notice.
By the indications on the river he
judged that Il crew Of men had shortly
before taken out n drive Of logs. After
The timber had been RATED and lowed
TO Marquette they would return. He
might be- able 10 hide in the forest. but
sooner or later, he was sure, one of the
iompany's land lockers or hunters
would stumble on his camp. Then Ills
very conccalncnt would tell them
what he was after The risk WAS too
great. for. above all things, Thorpe
needed time. He had, as has been said,
10 ascertain what lie could offer. Then
Iie baC 10 offer it. He would he forced
10 interest capital, and that is a matter
Of persuasion and leisure.
Finally his shrewd, intuitive good

AT the ten mile point he came upon
I dam. II was crude dam, built of
logs whose face consisted of strong
/ buttresses slanted up stream and whose
sheer was made of Unmarked timbers
laid smoothly side by side at the re-
qu!red angle. AT present its gate was
open
The purpose Of the dam in this new
country did not puzzle him in the
least but IFS presence bewildered him.
Such constructions are often thrown
across logging streams at proper in.

Mr.. Folk made another speech
on Saturday In the coursc OF which
he said; "Thcrc comes a time
when the sovereign people must
take u stand for or against corrup-
ton. That time Is now at hand In
Missouri. The honor of the state
TX at stake. The issue Il made
within the Democratic party, and
can not be h%onorably cvadcd or
escaped. The paramount question
now before the party Is whether
or not the eradication of bribery
shall bc made an issue" Accent
ing this statement as true, how
can II bc coupled with a resolution
indorsing the state administrations
OF the past thirty years. All those
administrations have been Demo-
cratic and not one word of protest
or comment on corruption within
the party has ever come from n
state officer. No governor has
vetoed a bill on the score OF cor
ruption In the legislature or ever
directed attention to the venality
in a long succession OF Democratic
majorities in that body. A plat
form approving Democratic adj
ministrations in Missouri will be
so complete a qualification of re-
form within the party that It will
be pitiable.-Globe Democrat.

A REPUBLICAN CREDIT.

One of the great benefits which
the government has bestowed on
the people in recent years has been
the free rural delivery of mail.
This does not yet cover the entire
country but routes arc being cs-
tablished so rapidly that it soon
will practically do go, and the
progress to date has been really
marvellous.
This Is one Of the things to- he
set down To the credit Of the RE-
publican party. When you come
to go over the list Of performances
by political parties you will iind
that the republican party has n
sweep. The last democratic prcsi-
dent. was Mr.. Cleveland aud this
II what he snid OF rural free dcliv-
cry in his message, December 1891.
"Thc estimate cost Of rural free
delivery generally II so very large
that IL ought not to he considered
In the present condition Of afinirs."
Just nine years ago Mr.. Clcvc-
land made that statement. In 1897
Mckinley was inauguratcd and
the work for free delivery Of rural
mail began. There are now 5000
routes In the United States and the
economy aud success OF the inn
proycmcnt are no longer Iucs-
toned.
This IL almost the only direct
benefit the farmers Of Missouri can
get from the government. II was

by republican congresses that ac-
complished II.
Speaking OF this subject, Com
gresham Scott Of Kansas, said In
n speech In congress- last week;

sole exception Of the advance In
the price of their products which
the past Jew years has witnessed,
no boon has ever come To the
farmers Of America which IL at all
to be compared with that of the
establishment of n free delivery of
their mail; and they " it abso-
lutcly and altogether to the busi-
ness sense, the sagacity and the
wisdom OF the republican party ~
carried into effect by n republican
administration"

MnIonalre's Poor Stomach

The worn-out stomach OF the
over-fed millionaire is often pa
raded In the public prints as a hor.
rible example OF the evils attend
ant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaircs are not
the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The propor-
ton is far greater among the toll
ers. Dyspepsia and indigestion
are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse
fortunes than the millionaire UNI
less they avail themselves of a
standard medicine like Greene's
August Flower, which has been a
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty
hvc years. August Flower rouses
the torpid liver, thus creating APP

John La Fargo in McClure's Magazine
The more man has become engaged in
the conflicts of civilization. in intellectual
disappointment, the more he has felt the
uselessness of knowledge the more he has
turned to certain expressions of art as an
escape. He has addressed poems to ma
ture. has painted landscape more and
more, has shown in every way that such
an escape was a dream. 1 do not mean
that such records of art have begun late
only that the more complex forms, espe-
eially such as those that paintings give
are more evident to us. Art has existed
from the very beginning. even before the
first man suffered out his naming of the
animals and expressed their character
by the sound of their name. The dances
of Savages as we call them. that is to
say, of people of earlier forms of ciyiliza-
ton. invented before the arts of design
record in poetic way what they do and
the seasons of such doing. and even the
