regiment was his home and all ranks
in it were to him his children. 1t had

1t was a German Boniface, Herr
Holz, who left a sum Of two thousand
marks to provide a band to play his
favorite airs once a year over his
grave on the anniversary of his
death; but as the members OF the
band refreshed themselves not wise
ly, and much too well, at the tesla
tors expense, and as the airs were
by no means in keeping with the So
lemnity of a churchyard, it was found
necessary to forbid the performance.

Mongolia.

Although Mongolia, in which Russia
is now intrenched, has been a part Of
the Chinese empire for the greater
part of the last two centuries, China
has not exercised much authority over
it, and the Mongol has been largely at
liberty to follow his own desires in
method of government and conduct
The only tribute which has heretofore
been required from the country has
been certain number of men to
serve in the Chinese army.

Poetry in the old Puritans? Why
not? They were men of like passions
with ourselves. They loved, they mar

feared, they sinned, they sorrowed,
they fought-they conquered. There
was poetry enough in them, be sure,

of singing it like birds.-EXchange.

Mr. Watson's purpose is to assist
the Republicans. who fear that the

That is quite evident A vote for Mr..
Watson is Parker vote thrown away,

the Democratic party into power again.
Ii Democrats hope to accomplish re-

fciaries of their work.
This is the first time that Mr.. Jones
has publicly spoken of the movement
headed by Tom Watson, and his utter
ance was delivered with emphasis.
The sturdy veteran who directed the
party organization eight years and
helped to bring about the alliance
with the Populists in 1896, is man
of rugged personality. Deepchested.
heavy-iawed, broad-browed, he sat and
talked in voice that showed his in

either Parker or Roosevelt will be the
riext president of the United States,
ard any one who throws his vote
away on any other candidate is vol

American electors are to vote is,

Judge Parker is recognized every

"Mr. Watson's candidacy at this

hurtful to Judge Parker If there was

declared that he preferred Roosevelt
