all or else voted for Mckinley, who
ob,ained in'l896, 81 per cent and in
1900, 5ls per cent of the total vote
against 46.7 per cent and 45 SO pei
cent for Bryan. In all three of these
elections party lines were more OF
less broken there being large defec-
tons from one party to The other.
In 1883 there was practically a
straight contest between the two
parties with resulting vote that
showed difference of less than 100, :
600 between the two candidates in
the entire country In 1880 there
was, also a straight contest between
two parties with the result that the
Republican percentage of the popular
vote was 1882 per cent and the
Democratic 48 81 The campaign
of 1904 opens with some appearance
OF return to normal party condi-
tons. That, at any rate, is the re-
suit aimed at by the conservative
element of the Democratic party
which has regained control Of the
organization and nominated Judge
Parker. If the sound money Demo
Gratis who voted for Mckinley now
return to their former party alleg-
lance and vote for Judge Parker,
aod if the Bryanltes remain faithful
to their party, Notwithstanding the
fact that the eastern wing of the
party has regained control, it would
naturally follow that the vote for
Judge Parker would be the normal
strength of the party. Then IN case
there was no Republican detection,
the two parties would cast their full
vote at the election and the result
would be a regular partisan victory
for one side or the other.
The questions which confront ev-
cry one who desires to arrive at some
intelligent opinion of the political
situation are:
/ Will the Mckinley Democrats
return to the psrty-fold and vote for
Parker2
2 Will the Brysnites remain faith
full and go to the polls on election
day9
3 viii there be any considerable
detection from Roosevelt?
Eastern Exchange.
The result of the election depends
upon the answers of these three
questions 1t is obvious that these
answers cannot now be given, but it
is quite evident thus early in the
that the voters referred to
IN the first and second questions are
lining up pretty generally in support
OF Judge Parker. The question that
divided the party has settled itself
aud while the division was very
marked the enthusiasm with which
all will unite under the old banner
this year will be no less so. As to
the third question, close observers
will not fail to notice that the faint
murmurings heard before Roosevelt's
nomination are growing in volume
and intensity, and by election day
will carry enough weight in the close
states to turn them to the Democratic
column. Therefore, based upon the
best Information at hand, 1t appears
safe to answer the three inquiries in
the affirmative.

himself to her and took up his abode
with us permanently.
He had evidently been some chi.dS
pet, although we never could find out
where he came from, and soon made
himself an important member OF the
family. He proved a good mouser, and
paid close attention to the pantry and
closets, and is a very clean and atfec>
tomato household pet. He is now a
large cat, of a regular Zion taWny,"
with a white breast and white hind
feet, and showing faint tiger markings
of a darker buff, particularly in his
tail and legs. The most remarkable
thing about him is his fOndness for a
f]arinaceous or vegetable diet. He
comes to my side at breakfast to beg
for a doughnut, which he eats most
daintily from my fingers and then goes
over to Mrs. w. and finishes her saucer
of oatmeal porridge for her, after she
is satisfied. He likes Boston brown
bread and baked beans, string beans
from the garden, and is eXtravagantly
fond of sweet corn, which he takes
from my fingers, a kernel at a time,
and after we have cut off the corn i'll
the usual way he will polish off all the
cobs, s~teadying them with his paws
while he ticks them clean! His tastes
for a vegetarian diet are certainly not

Jacques Lebaudy, the explorer, during

the passengers of both trains were
allowed a half-hour for supper. Among
those who alighted from the st. Pc

friend whom he had not seen for

drank a glass of vodka together, and
afterWard, in the excitement, the old
man boarded his friends train instead
of his own.
Talking gayly, he rode the wrong

SAVAGES OF THE AMAZON.

Perhaps the most miserable and I'M
progressive savages of the Western
Hemisphere are those to be found
along the Amazon River i'll the prime
val forests, where white men rarely
penetrate.
The most powerful of the tribes there
is the Hypurina, and it is looked up to
by the rest as consisting of most SUI
perior persons. Yet the Hypurinas
have not advanced far enough even to
build proper canoes, although they live
on the banks of the Amazon and cannot
make a hunting trip without using one
or more of the rivers that flow into 1t.
The Hypurinas build their canoes
by splitting the bark from a tree and
drying it over a rough frame to give
it shape. They leave the ends open
and merely bend them upward a little
so that they shall be above the level
of the water. If they have to carry

Their weapons are the primitive

thin siivers made from palm wood,
of the thickness of a knitting needle
and about six inches long. They are
polished by being rubbed on stones,
and they are sharpened until they are
like the finest kind of steel needles.
Even the least prick from one OF these
darts will be sure to draw the blood.
The poison is made from plants. 1t
is heated until it foams, and then the

harden them.

Az War Over New. or !,

The old Quaker church At West
Elkton, promises to be disrupted over
the Introduction OF an organ into its
place OF worship.
The younger and less conservative
members demanded music, and finally
secured an organ, which was used
Sunday for the first time.
When the organist struck the first
note many Of the older members SOL
EMMY arose and walked out. It is
evident that either the organ must 60
or the congregation be divided.
It is oontended by the conservatives
that the music Of the organ tends to
take the mind from spiritual things,
which alone are admissible in Quaker
services. The younger members de-
clare they will retain the organ.
