viewed from a populist standpoint:
What is probably the longest breath
ing spell in the history of Pawnee
county politics is rapidly drawing to
close. To old players at thu game, "a
whole year without campaign is an
epoch, but to the younger generation
and especially to the editors of news
papers it has been d blessed, blessed
rest from which there must now come
a rude awakening to unrequiteo toll.
Since the last campaign but few
changes have taken place in the pol
itics of the country, but time has ac-
centuated changes in political align
ments until it seems to be necessary to
'scast up new before starting into the
campaign of 1904. Not that ''time
makes ancient good uncouth," but
new conditions demand new ideas, and
that old ones be made to conform to
what is possible if not so desirable.
Since the earliest organization OF the
peoples party it's principles-the best
ever embodied in political platform
to meet present conditions and right
economic and social wrongs of the
present day-have steadily aud surely
advanced into the hearts and minds
OF the American people until today
there is no political platform or set of
political principles in the country
which does not bear their impress and
in more or less degree breathe their
spirit.
But as political organization it is
apparent to even the staunchest popu-
at least in national capacity, and
under the present Infamous election
law of Kansas a party is practically
debarred from place on the election
ballot unless it has national organi-
cation. This condition has been
brou 2ht about by many things. Ma
tionally, that element Of the demo
cratic party which was educated by
the peoples party out of the old moss
back condition and into acceptance of
the newer ideas and the champion
ship Of the masses against the classes,
which was led by Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900, aud is still led by him. has
taken up the work and absorbed the
organization OF the national peoples
party. In the state of Kansas, always
and foremost in the peoples party
movement, the organization has con-
tinued to be, and is yet the the lead
| ing anti-republican party. But, as
stated above, under the workings of
the anti-fusion law passed by the re-
publican legislature two years ago.
the party as Il party is practically
| disfranchised and left without equal
representation on the ballot with
other political parties. AS Kansas
was the last state in the union to stand
firmly by the peoples party organiza-
ton, so also ia Pawnee almost the
last county in the state TO depart from
the name.
And in the minds of the rank and
file and the big majority of peoples
party, that is all there is to 1.-THE
matter of departing from the name
The new democracy beaded by Bryan
and other leaders If unquesti oned in
tegrity who stanl by the national
platforms of 1896 and 1900 is as salts
factory to populists as their own
party and PLATFORM. 1t is fear of II
return to Clevelandism which makes
populists fight shy of democracy.

afternoon she was preparing her SER

she heard timid knock at the paraon-

what Peruna does.

CHAPTER XI.

HOW a GREAT NATIONAL CATAS-
TROPHE WAS AVERTED ON JUBI-
LEE DAY.
Being desirous of seeing the play ont
| had secured-at a reasonable enough
price-a front seat in the top window
of the house exactly opposite to that
from the roof of which Number Two
hoped, with one snip of his "abhorred
shears" to silt the thin-spun life" of
the royal family of England.
The morning of the jubilee saw me
take my place-not this time in my
councillors disguise-in my allotted
seat, whence | watched with no little
curiosity for the final act in what was
meant to be tragedy but which |
had been the means of transforming
into farce.
Number Two was not astir as early
as | was, and did not put in an appear
ance on the roof until the tail of the
great procession was in sight. Mean
while ! sat looking down on the stall
Wart fellows who went swinging along
at quick march on foot, or upon the
stately pacing and prancing of the cav
airy that passed, clattering and jing-
ling, in pursuing lines.
My enjoyment of the pageant was,
however, considerably marred by the
constant growing of a man sitting
near me, whose natural moroseness of
disposition was accentuated by the fact
that he was dissatisfied with his seat.
who wants to see a lot of court
fIiDlEaVC p NJ in

THAT'S what most of 'em are, you
know. It's bad enough for the nation
to ave to pay for their keep-royal
keep too-and pay 'em big salaries for
doing nothing, without our 'aving 'em
stuck up on a 'orse or in fine carriage
1or us to ave to pay to see 'em go by.

There you are, then. And who are
they, after all? That's what want to

Who. indeed?" l made answer.

they would have done so, and felt ag-
srieyed by the oversight, "if they'd

Oh, hush thee! my bonnie, my baby!
The wind sings soft lullaby.
And the little stars peep
To see ii you sleep,
Stealing out one by one, in the sky.
The daisies have put on their night caps.
And noddhg is each dainty head,
While I'm sure If you look,
You will see in yon nook
Wee panses asleep in their bed.
Sir Cricket is tuning his fiddle,
While Katy-did strums his guitar,
And soon We shall hear
Their duet loud and clear,
Sorenading the evening star.
The twilight comes stealing so gently

And listen! l heard

To show little children the way
TO the slumber land, OH
Where gay pOppies grow,
And dream-fairies froliC at play.
Then hushaby, bonnie, my dearie,
And list to the winds lullaby,
While the little stars peep
TO see if you sleep,
And the lady moon watches on high.

KISSED BY THE EMPEROR.
Unusual 1Iark of Approval bestowed
by Chinese Ruler on IN
American Girl.

Archibald Little, the English novel
ist and secretary of the Tientsu Wui.
or Anti-Foot-Binding society, of Phil
adelphia, gives a lively account of the
return of the Chinese court to Pekin.
Ot the dowager empress we read that
she is of the type so well known in
every land where society exists. Were
she an English mother she would, one
feels at once, marry all her daughters
to eldest sons, irrespective of whether
they were lunatics or confirmed dip
somaniacs." The emperor is of an
other disposition. AT a party he re-
Seatedly kissed little American girl
OF seven years. How had the very
idea Of such thing ever been suggest
ed to him? No Chinese man through
out the whole length and breadth of the
vast Chinese empire ever kisses his
wife or child, unless he has been
taught to do so by foreigner. No
Chinese mother ever kisses her child.
The nearest she gets to it is lifting her
Child's face to hers and, as it were,
smelling of it. Yet here was the en-
peror of China evidently versed in the
practice, so that directly he saw this
foreign little girl he took her up and
kissed her, as if it We're the most
natural thing in the world, while to the
everyday Chinaman this would be a
most unnatural, and, indeed, repulsive
process. OF course, this little girl who
received the imperial kiss was an
American.

to assemble at midnight. and thither
| accordingly betook myself at the ap-
pointed hour.

ing my opportunity managed the
business all right. So now we have a
line direct from here to the center of
the festoon, so that can cut the thread
and let the bomb down when the Old
lady passes without disturbing the
rest of the decorations.
The end of the thread is tied to
that rail. VIII you go and unite it, and
hold the thread ready for me to string
on? But don't let go when you have
it undone, or everything will be spoilt.
There will be people passing in the
street the whole OF tonight, and
should get no chance of fixing up an
other line"
For an instant hesitated. Should
unite the thread and let the cord slip
from my hand, as if by accident, and
so balk him of his murderous pur-
pose? Another moments thought,
however, convinced me that so clumsy
and transparent an artiiice was not ad-
visable. 1t would in the first place,
arouse Number Two's suspicious, and
might not after all, avert the catas-
trophe | feared; for he was man of
| resource, who would not be at a loss to
devise some other method for carrying
out his devilry.
So under the pretense of trying to
undo the fastening, | pulled it into an
| ineXtricable knot, at which | fumbled
so long that, as | had hoped, Number
| Two lost patience.
"Confound it ALL" he growled. "If
| had thought you were so clumsy a
fool, I'd have had that other man to
help me, after all. Here come out OF
the way and let me do it! The things
easy enough, if you only go about it
the right way"
This was the sequel which had been
leading up TO and hoping for, so l
stepped back accordingly, and took my
place.
AS | had intended, he found the task
a teaser. You have made a mess of it
and no miStake," he snarled between
his set teeth, as he bent over the
tangle in vain attempt to loosen the
knot at which | had tugged to such
good purpose.
No sooner was his back turned than
| took the sand and sawduSt-stuffed
ball out of the pocket that was hidden
in my cape, and placing it noiselessly
on the ground, transferred the bomb
to my pocket.
Have you got a knife?" inquired
Number Two few seconds after | had
effected the exchange.
