The Power Of Song.

American cities struggle with each
other for the honor and profit OF be-
ing chosen as convention cities. When
the Confederate veterans at Nashville,
q few months ago, were considering
the question OF where to hold their next
reunion stirring speech was made in
favor of Louisville by an orator who
extolled the beauties, capability and
hospitality of that city and its people.
Immediately after the speech sweet
voiced young woman was led to the
platform. who sang my Old Ken.
lucky Home" The veterans went
wild with enthusiasm. Cries OF "Louis-
vile, Louisville" were heard from all
parts of the house and the enthusiasm
aroused by the sweet melody of the
familiar song rose to such q pitch that
Louisville was chosen unanimously
before other cities could present their
claims.
This experiment will bear repeti'
ton. "My Old Kentucky Home" is
q fetching melody and it ought to
bring many a convention to the hos.
pitable aud delightful metropolis OF
the bluegrass State. The influence oil
song in swaying q convention is doubt
less stronger than good Oratory. This
is a hint to cities that are looking for
convention honors. 1t may be hard
to find songs with the peculiar local
color that belongs to" My Old Ken
lucky Home," but prize might be Of
fered by Chambers of Commerce for
the most effective musical bait that
could be composed to aid them in the
convention hunt. Portland wants a
string of conventions next year and
might we'll try the experiment.

MEN WANTED.
HY LIE r. VERNON.

q, give Us men. 4 time like this de-
nlanis
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands,
Men whom the lust oi office does not
kill,
Men whom the spoils OF office cannot
buy.
Men who possess opinions and a will.
Men who have honor, and who will
not lie,
Men who can stand before a dema
gOgue
And scorn his treacherous batteries
without winking.
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and in private thinking !.
You may talk about the tariff and pro-
lection and free trade
And party panaceas for opposing hui
man ills
And improving trade conditions and the
boom that wheat has made,
But the way to improve business is to
pay your little bills.
If you owe the grocer twenty, and he
owes the butcher ten,
And five more to the goldman, and to
the ice-man five
Your payment of the twenty helps along
three business men,
And the payments they can make in
turn make other people thrive.
Idle money in your pocket doesn't do
YOU any good,
Unless your bills are all paid up it
isn't yours,
Just pay up all you re able, as you wish
that others would,
That's the recipe for hard times that
invariably cures.

Selecting Meat.

If beef is young OK it will have a
fine, smooth, open grain. be of good
red and feel tender. The fat should
look white rather than yellow. If of
n deep color the meat is seldom good.
The grain of COW beef is closer and
the fat winter than OK beef, but the
lean is of not so bright red. In old
meat, there is a streak OF horn in the
ribs; the harder this is the older. In
lamb. look to the neck. If vein is
blush. it is fresh; If greenish or yell
lowish, it is stale. In hindquarter, if
there is taint under the kidney and
knuckle limp, it is stale. If eyes are
sunk, head is not fresh. Grass lamb
is in season through April until Aug.
ust; house lamb all the year. but best
in December and January. In buying
veal, choose meat Of which the kidney
is we'll covered with white, thick fat.
If the bloody vein in shoulder looks

insidiously confuses the popular con-
science as to moral standards or obli-
cations in all things.
Worship of wealth, OF force, of
power or Of mere success, whether
right or wrong, is in democracy one
of the most malignant distempers Of
the popular mind, ono of the most
prolific sources of anti-Democratic
tendencies.
"The degree of economy in public
expenditures may be taken as the
barometer of honesty in the public
service. A lavish administration will
always run into corruption"
On protection, Mr.. Schurz writes:
"The moro l study the history OF
our economic development the more
become convinced that this country
would have by this time been just as
rich and prosperous as it is had that
development been permitted to take
it's natural course without any artl-
fetal protection. 1t would be health
ier, too, as the human body is health.
ier when brought up. not on medicinal
stimulants, but upon natural food.
The distribution of the product and
accumulated wealth would probably
have been different, too, and very
likely more wholesome"
The word robbery" in describing
protection may be crude, but it is not
unjust, he asserts.
ut is indeed time that the Amerl-
can pc op'e should open their eyes to
the meaning of these notorious facts:
A large number of manufacturing es.
tablishments, as we'll as their allied
interests, receive from the Government
favors or benefits OF great money
value in the shape Of protective tarlf
legislation. The political party which,
when in power, confers those benefits
of great money value, turns to the
interests so benefited for pecuniary
aid to support it in its efforts to keep
itself in power, or to regain power
if it had temporarily lost it. The pro-
tected interests give to the political
party that pecuniary aid, OF course. on
the understanding that they continue
to receive the old or greater favors OF
money value from the Government
through the instrumentality OF the
political party in question.

During a long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs, without the use
of alcohol cured ninety eight per cent of
such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
it up in a form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled.

such as no other remedy for the diseases

Most Reptiles Are Deaf.
Revue ScientitiQue.

A German naturalist. M. Werner of
Vienna, has recently reported the re-
suit Of observations that he has been
making for some time on the senses OF
inferior vertebrates.
On certain points the conclusions OF
NJ. Werner are very surprising, and in
all they are worthy of notice. M.
Werner has observed 136 individuals,
of which one.third we're at liberty,
and he took all possible precautions
not to let the creatures know they
were watched. One general fact is
evident that reptiles and amphibians
are strongly attracted by water. They
60 straight for it even when they are
at a distance SO great that they could
not divine its presence by any of the
senses known to US. 1t seems really
that q sense OF which we have no
knowledge informs them OF the direc.
ton in which water may be found.
There seems to be sort of chemi-
cal attraction says M. Werner. But
how does this act, and ON what part of
the creature? That remains a mys.
terd. Reptiles also seek the light, but
independently OF heat; they are posi-
lively heliotropic, and in winter they
often leave a comfortable and warm
retreat to seek the sunlight. Sight is
probably the finest sense they possess,
but it would still appear to be limited.
The caymans and the crocodiles can
not distinguish . man at distance OF
more than six times their length, &C
cording to NJ. Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range
about half their own length. This
will seem, perhaps, unlikely to anglers.

see far. Snakes seem to have a very
mediocre sense Of sight. The boa for
instance does not see at more than a
quarter or q third of its own length /;
different species are limited to one.
fifth or one-eighth OF their length.
Frogs are better off; they see at IF.
teen or twenty times their length.
Frog catchers know this from expert
ence. Hearing is much poorer than
sight, if possible. Most reptiles are
noticeably deaf, except caymans and
crocodiles; the boa appears to be abso-
lutely senseless to sound.

more becoming the party of rich men,

He riddles President Roosevelt's
recent declaration in his letter of ac-
ceptance that protection is the pre-
server Of prosperity and high wages
for the wOrkingman. "The boast
that the great advances of this coun-
try in wealth and prosperity were ow-
ing to the Republican policy of high
protection is simply a slander on the
American people," he asserts.
"The idea that this country, of all
known countries the richest in nat.
ural resources, with its labor the most
intelligent, energetic and productive
labor in the world, should need the
highest protective tariff ever enacted
in any civilized country to make our

"And yet that is what we have-the

mere statement brands as equally pre-

GLORIOUS TEXAS.

VIII Allen Dromgoole, writing
in the. Nashville Banner, has this
to say of Texas, by way of con-
trasting conditions now with what
they were when the centennial ex-
hibition was held in Tennessee
many years ago.
But of Texas There isn't a
State, OF a country, in all the world
with a history more glorious than
hers. And there isn't people
more kind, or a country more beau
tiful. In winter when her winds
are warm and gracious she is nat
ural sanitarium. And in spring
time when the sea winds call the
flowers to waken and the buffalo
clover spreads carpet of violet,
starred with the wild pink prim-
rose, with a border of stately white
thistle, she is a dream. In sum-
mer when the cotton stalks bend
down to brush your shoulder; and
the sunflowers form an avenue OF
gold, down which you may drive
without stone, stump or hindrance,
to the very ends of the earth, then
she is a glory, and you sigh in envy
of the people who love her and
cease to wonder that even some
great Tennesseeans have pulled up
stakes. broken camp and pitched
their tents along the lands of the
Leon. the Brazos. and the Rio
Grande.
