The conversation turns on-kissing.

Of one whose knowledge is c6mpIetest
That kisses won beneath the rose

Her glance no CLEAN of guile discloses

Tomorrow the time for tears,

COLORADO REPUBLICANS.
Their Plans to Unseat Governor Elect
Adams.

Denver, Dec. so. Very few members
Of the legislature have arrived in the
city, and whether the plans Of William
IG Evans and other Republican leaders
to re-seat Gov. James Peabody will be
adopted by a majority of the Republic
can members is still undecided. The
Republicans have an even two thirds al
the votes on joint ballot and can carry
any measure on which they are united
Some Republican members, known az
followers of former United States Sem
Iator Edward o. Woleott, hav declared
that while they do not contemplate a
union with the Democrats under any
consideration, they viii oppose vigorous
ly any plans for keeping Adams out Of
the governorship. The Woicott Republi.
cans say they win 80 into d party eau
Gus and win agree to abide BY the de-
cision Of the caucus up to point where
it conflicts with their conscience.
The plan to seat Governor Peabody,
some of them declare, is wrong, and no
caucus action will bring them to sup
port such action. The canvass OF the
votes for state officers IS made BY the
legislature and Is not subject to review
in the courts.

Child Labor Not Confined to the Sec.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3O.-Diet as fac.
tor IN the prevention and cure OF con

labor question in Southern mills and a
number Of other themes OF equal inter

many papers read before the second
days session Of the American Assoeia

Prof. A. J. McKelvey, assistant secre-
tary Of the national child labor commit

Southern MILL
After calling attention to the condi
lions OF comparative well-being that ev.
ist among the children Of the South. he
said there are mere children nnder 16
years of age working in the factories
.of Pennsylvania than there are in all
Southern states put together. One rea.
son why the percentage of child work.
ers TO adult workers is larger South is
that the percentage Of children is larger.
While Massachusetts has COO, 900 more
population than Georgia, he said, the
Southern state has 100000 more chill.
dren Of school age than the New Eng.
land state.
The South. he said, is leading the
country in wages compared with the
cost Of living, in sanitary conditions and
IN other ways, though there are some
conditions which exist that ought to be
wiped out. 1t was his opinion that
child labor was not a sectional, but ma
tional evil

Its truthfulness. Mr.. Sammis' friends
are saying that there Is not particle
OF doubt that he will remain In office.
There is also II good story out to the
effect that Mr.. Sammis Is likely to
ask for the delegation from Plymouth

cation from his own people. 1T mat
tiers not" said one close friend of MIR.

require certain number of scape
goats, his friends will ask that he De

win his county easily as against Mr.
Struble, and will stand a good show Of
winning out"

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give man forlorn
friendiess appearance and make thI0

his own misery that he is inconsider-

terrible and depressing ailment, ne

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
s,ond question the most effective ana
popular remedy ever offered to the SUI
ferers of this terrible disease. Inc
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are, above all. natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids OF the stomach
possess and they actually do the d.
gestive work of the stomach and en-
able that organ to rest and recuperate
and become sound and well. They acs
in a mild. natural manner ana cause
no disturbance in the digestive organs.
They prevent any fermentation OF the
food which causes sour stomach. IN
fact, under their influence the subject
forgets that he has a stomach ana mis-
resulting cheerfulness presents great
contrast to his former detection.
Millions of boxes of Stnart's Dyspep-
