A GOOD

AS an e~nunciation of principles an,
declaration of policies the republi

state convention could adopt as thei
platform nothing much better or NOR,
effective than the speech delivered
by the Honorable William Lindsay
state chairman, at the Helena conven

OF republicanism, republicanism tina

for everything that a patriotic, honest

an appeal to the party to prove true
to its mission and to stand as a bull
Wark between the people and the
scheming, conniving, dishonest politi-
clans who think only of self aggran-
dizement and value personal success
above national or state interest and
welfare.
While unfaltering and constant in
his trust in the righteousness of every
thing that the party stands for, Mr..
Lindsay did not lack the courage or
honesty to sound a warning to all and
any who might be tempted to use the
party for the purpose of gaining I'LL
terror, selfish ends. Unsparing in his
~denunciation of the democrats for
their wrongs and the humiliation and
disgrace they have heaped upon the
state, he was not blinded by partisan
ship to the extent of prompting him
into a declaration of i~mpeccability in
his own party. Candidly acknowl-
edging that in the past it had not been
without it's faults and shortcomings,
he honestly gloried in the fact that it
had had the courage to purify itself and
remove the cankers that threatened
to destroy it's usefulness and stand
more free and untrammeled,
owing allegiance to no one but the
people and acknowledging no master
but the people, prepared to assume
any trust or authority and guarantee

Certainly, there can be no harm in
presenting for popular consideration
the name of any man for any public
office, and especially does this apply
to such an important and exalted 20

 "It was a tight place and it took coolness and assurance. l laughingly said, Funny wasn't it? Goodman was surprised, and dropped his hand in which the pistol hung down loose.
 Goodman then pocketed his gun and we all walked on. At the corner of Ninth avenue and Seventy-second street, Goodman walked ahead and again declared his intention of shoot ing

Treat the Cow Gently.

Not giving down milk is the result
OF lack Of nervous tone in the glands
brought about by excitement. The
udder is not container in which milk
Is stored up at milking time, but an
organ in which the greater part of the
milk is elaborated while milking or
sucking is in progress by virtue Of
the agitation it produces. Unless the
COW is in perfect repose this secretion
will not take place normally. The les
son to be derived from this point is
that the COW should be treated with
the greatest gentleness and be other
wise free from excitement, especially
during milking or sucking time.

Popuf0us Nation of the World Fer
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
Rcter make up the Worlds Fair Of

show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful things+wonderful
because they are the choicest Of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most Of Its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to- her great exhibit here q prominence
quite exceptional. It Is q wonderland
Of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason Of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found
vast market tn the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play Of teas that we should not for
get r. - .
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1.2OO
kinds Of tea. Young Tyson and Old
Hyson have string Of tea relations
longer than the genealo logical chain OF a
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected "chops," in the language OF the
tea farmer. and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number Of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents pound to some rare and
exclusive: kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side Of the
scales and pure gold OH the other

kind: IS worth about $40 gold an ounce.

may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va
