The band boys were made

satin furnished and beautiful
horns. They were purchased of

For the first time since organ

game with a team of emigrants.
The scores were Z to IL. The

Al Her Resolutions Broken.

This story is told by an English

was dining out in London and sat by
a lady whom he did not know. Their
conversation turned upon early reso.
lutions and how very seldom they
were kept and tho lady said, well,
when was girl made three reso

resolutions l broke. When do you

1rfshman and was engaged to him
for twelve years." This was Lady
katherine Pakenham. It was an un.
happy marriage and the couple mostly
lived apart.

ARE YOU A DEMOCRAT?
D. c. Greenleaf, Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee Says There
Will be Full Democratic Ticket in
the Field.

Since the debate Saturday
night between the different fac
tions Of the Republican party,
the query, care YOU q Demo-
craft" has been propounded to
me by at least 80 voters OF this
city and upon answering in the
affirmative, they haven invariably
replied, $50 am H. The little
bunch of daisies which the Major
handed me at Saturday nights s
meeting has brought me face to
face with the fact that the Major
was joshing, and that there are
dozens OF good Democrats in the
cit rand county, who believethat
h9Npursued the right course
in attempting to keep the Demo-
cratic organization intact, and
in preventing Il few from sacri-
ficing the organization for the
purpose Of satisfying their own
Individual desires and grievances.
Democratic caucuses have been
called for Monday, the 9th day
OF May, for the purpose of select
ing delegates SO attend the con-
vention which meets in the court
house on Saturday morning at
10 a. NJ, OF the 18th day ofMay.

and accusations amount to
naught to me. | have done my
duty toward my party as | saw
it, nor have not now, nor never
expect to have an apology to
make for nay actions in the mat
ter. But by way Of explanation
might say that knowing Major

The Ward County independent., 1904-05-04

and the insurgents having Just
recently demonstrated their
methods and implements OF war
fare, and being thoroly acquaint-
ed with their tactics, | could but
come to the conclusion, that ii
the Republican caucuses were held
prior to the Democratic caucuses,
that the different factions of the
Republican party would vote all
of the Democrats and when the
Democratic caucuses were called,
there would be but a few to vote
and the organization, so far as
this county is concerned, would
be stranded high and dry as it
has been in the past. l could not
stand for their work and do not
intend to stand for it.
The Democrats will have IA :full
ticket in the field this year, the
organization will be kept intact
and strengthened year by year,
and | hope to see the day we can
make the elections so interesting
for the Republicans that they
will have to keep good men in
office in order to carry the cleo
tiOns.
In conclusion, | sincerely urge
all Democrats to stay in line, get
out on the 9th and vote at the
caucus. Let us make a strong
showing. This is presidential
year. There is a possibility Of
electing a Democratic president,
and those Democrats who stray
away to the Republican caucuses
cannot expect to be, and will mot
be rewarded in the event OF a
Democratic success.

System Of Athletics eaid 20 Be o.
Much Benefit.
That there should be special exer.
cises for the eyes Is perhaps a novel
idea to many. But it is said that
one way to strengthen the eyes is to
turn them alternately upward and
downward as far as possible twenty
times in succession. Do this slowly.
Next turn the eyes on the level from
right to left, repeating as before. Turn
them to the upper left corner and
then to logger right corner. Then al
ternate the motion from the upper
right corner to the lower left corner
and repeat. Conclude these exercises
by rolling the eyes around, first to
the right, then to the left, in the ex.
treme limit of the muscular exten.
sions. Be very careful when perform.
Ing. the exercise not to strain the
muscles.

Painting in Early Ages.

The use of paint brushes is of great
antiquity; but as late as the fifteenth
century it was customary to apply
varnish by smearing It on with the
fingers or with a bit of sponge, as the
varnishes then used were too viscid
be put on more thinly and evenly
with the fingers. This practice was
used in he earliest times of which
there is any record. The Egyptian
mummy cases bear evidence of Eav-

Heavy the clouds and dreary the day
One like We used to have long ago:
Chilly and cold and bleak and gray,
But Polly and l, on our hemeward way.
Care not at all for the binding snow.
Streets are deserted. save here and there
Red-nosed pedestrians vending their
way
Over the sleet-covered pavements where
An ill.chosen step means a trip through
air
And heavy fall on this winters day
Snugly ensconced in woolen wrap
Hands in a mum and her face ag1Ow,
Polly is thinking OF me, mayhap,
And 1.well, from under my heavy cap
I'm dreaming of her, for love her %.
Only we two, yet a happier pair
Couldn't be found over land and sea,
For love Polly. 50 sweet and fair.
And no cause have for a single care,
For Polly-she told me so-loves me!

Charity Among Chinese.

One of the main reasons why
Christianity makes SO little progress
in China Is, according to the German
Orientalist, Prof. F. Hirth. that the
Chinese do not believe in mixing up
religion with ethical doctrines and
practices. Their humanitarian prac-
tices are quite separate from all re-
ligious beliefs. China. the professor
adds, has had. for thousands OF years,
great numbers of charitable institu.
tions, supported by all classes of the
population.
