BILLION DOLLAR COUNTRY
Facts Which II IL Desirable to Bear
In Mind.

In Mind.
Evidently Judge Parker has lost track
of the fact that the United States has
become billion-dolar country. while
he has been dreaming away his man
hood on the bench at Albany. Otherwise
it is impossible to account for his ac-
eeptance OF "the Republican challenge
to comparison of Democratic and Re
publican administrations
If there is any issue before the Ameri
can people upon which the Republicans
are more ready to appeal to the voters
than another. it is that relating to the
administration of national finances. But
they will not let Judge Parker. or the
hungry aggregation OF Democratic edi-
tors to whom he addressed his Rip Van
Wrinkle remarks, ignore the fact that
the United States OF 1904 deals with
billions, where in Cleveland's first adj
ministration its finances could be dis
cussed in terms of nine figures. Neither
will they permit him to compare net
expenditures under Cleveland with eN-
traordinary appropriations under Me
kinley and Roosevelt.
When he makes his comparisons be-
tween the expenditures of 1SS5-1SSS with
those of 19O1-l903 he will not be per-
mitfed to ignore such facts as the ia
crease in postal expenditures from 500
9i2,41J in 1885 to $1iS. ISI. 4S1 in 1901.
and that the excess of expenditures on
account OF the postal service over re-
ceipts last year was only xf,J60.0i4. as
compared with SS.:;S1.JI2.
As an index of the growth of the Uni
ted States in every direction that marks
advance in national welfare there can
be no better standard than the increased
use OF an ever improving and extending
mail service
Neither will Judge Parker nor the edi-
tors to whom he unbosomed a choice
medley OF ideas from the wit and wis
dom OF Samuel J. Tilden and Grover
Cleveland, be permitted to point with
Democratic pride to the enforced econ
omies of Clevelnnd's second term 1S93.

RAINY DAY MODES.

. Somewhere there is a. religion which
teaches its votaries to wear red on a
dark day. Scarlet, cardinal, poppy.
pomegranate and cranberry are all to
be found in this seasons goods and for
a dull or dark day nothing could be
more cheerful.
There are lovely cloudy day hats
which are made entirely of folds of
Persian.
Even in the matter of cloudy weather
gowns there is tendency toward the
skirt and coat suits, the two-piece
suits. And one notices that there is
a return also to the belts. The two
piece suit with coat aad skirt and
belt lead in fashions march and the
woman who is about to buy something
new cannot do better than invest in
one of these suits.
Tan colored leather is used a great
deal in the trimming of the new cloth
gowns. 1t is thin, is very soft and
it is finished so as to look almost like
cloth, save that it is smarter and a
little more durable. There are some
very pretty pipings of tan colored
leather to be seen upon suits of navy
blue and upon suits of brown and gray
and mixed goods.

A JAPANESE WIDOWS HAIR.

When a Japanese woman becomes a
widow, says a writer in Leslie's Week
ly, it is customary for her to cut off
a part of her hair and bury it in the
coffin with the body of her husband.
but as she may please herself about 1t
this sacrifice is not often large enough
to spoil her pretty coiffure unless, in
deed, she determine to wear forever
the badge of widowhood and give her
life in complete devotion to the MEM
ory of the departed, in which case she
cuts 1t all off and thenceforth never
permits it to grow.
There are a great many women in
Japan, and especially in the heart of
the country. where foreign influence
has never reached, who wear their
hair bobbed like a small boys and
oftentimes parted jauntily on the side;

Sermons of the Street

He was a disconsolate looking cur
and probably would have responded to
any name with wiggle of his stumpy
tail. He was a chummy little dog, if
encouraged.
But as he skunk around the corner
last night two fresh wounds on his
back indicated that his friendly add
vances had been repulsed. Some one
had struck or kicked him and his body
was quivering with pain. He was
hungry and weak, but he had hopes.
boy came down the street and
struck at him with his cane. The dog
drew back into a neighboring door
way and stood there thinking it over.
He shifted the air weakly, but found
in it no suggestion of food. Then, with
a little whine, he nursed his wounds.
A man came out of the door and
finding a scraggy looking cur blocking
the way, kicked him to one side and
walked down the street. The dog
picked himself up. Perhaps he would
have better luck next time. He was
still hopeful, and so just loafed
around.
Then he attempted to tag on behind
a passer-by, as though he belonged,
and just as he was regaining his self
respect the man turned around and
said: Get out, you curl" The dog
stopped short and watched the man
until he had turned a side street.
Then the forlorn creature walked
back to the corner. He was still hop
ing.
When a young woman with her
escort passed him he was a wise dog
and, lgave a little appealing bark.
The young woman bent over and said;
why you poor, little, lonesome dog,
you" Then she actually patted him
on the head, and his stubby tail wag-
gled industriously and his eyes bright
ened. This was the sympathy for
which he had been looking.
He fell in behind and followed his
newly found friends to house half
dozen blocks up the street. Several
times the young woman turned
around and addressed a remark to
him. She called him "Doggie." She
hadn't known him long. she hadn't
known him long enough to give him
another name. She would probably
attend to that after she had fed him.
AS his two friends entered the house
they had evidently forgotten him, for
they closed the door in his face. He
still had hopes. They would remember
him when he made a noise. So he
barked a little. Then he whined and
waited. No one came. He was fast
losing hope.
The electric car was bowling along
at a rapid rate. The dog walked out
to the curb and watched the well
lighted car as it approached. 1t was
filed with people and they appeared
to be very happy. Possibly the light
and noise dazed him as he started
to cross the street. AS the car rush
ed along there was a short sharp
bark-then the car rolled over some
thing. The conductor went back to
investigate.
"Only dog" he said as he rang
the bell to go ahead. He's dead all
right. / don't see why he got in the
way of the car when the whole street
was clear"

euchre parties this season for the ben
EFT Of the Jewish Orphans Home in

the present series will prove equally
successful and pleasant.

they had examined and priced every
