IL is refreshing to perceive the
Globes easy transitions from BOOM
ing Folk back to fighting Folk again.
The Globe is now bowling about
Folk reform which it conceives to be
one twentieth Folk and nineteen
twentieths machine" Here Is what
1t said less than year ago: Folk
occupies an individualized place in
the Democratic party Of Missouri.
He cannot be Jumped with the ma.
chine and an average struck OF intel.

licans would rejoice over Folks
nomination by the Democrats, be-
cause, however the election might
go, the boodling machine would be
uprooted." Since the only machine
which is doing business In Missouri
nowis that Of the peopler as q whole,
the Globe appears to be contradict
ing itseli without any excuse, save
perhaps its desire to be consistent. =

ATTEND YOUR PRIMARIES.

One element OF weakness in q cam.
paign Is overconfdence of success. A
political fight is never won until the
ballots are deposited. We believe
that on a fair test, with all Demo-
Gratis voting, Mr.. Folk would carry
Bates county by an overwhelming
majority, MIR. Reed but recently, In
an interview, named Bates as one Of
the counties he expects to carry. SO
lis evident that the opposition have
not entirely abandoned hopes OF this
county. The Folk men must not be
lulled to sleep by iancisd security,
They should be on the alert, and at.
tend The primaries on June 4th, Three
weeks from Saturday, and see that
incorporating Folk men are sent
AS delegates to the county conven-
ton on June 9th.

Treasury Balance SHOWS Deficit

Washington, May S.-The balance
sheet of the treasury department
now shows an actual deficit. The
tide whichs long had been favorable
to the administration turned Friday
and the ledger indicated an excess OF
$l32,25S in expenditures in receipts.
1t is regarded as certain that this
deficit will continue to grow during
the remainder Of the fiscal year, and
by the last day of June will aggre-
gate millions OF dollars.
The fact that the year ending prior
to the national campaign closes with
considerable deficit will be of great
advantage to the Democrats and will
ba utilized on the stump.

CURED By HIS OWN TALK. WORLDS SUPPLY OF OPIUM
An Industry That Is Far More Exten-
sive Than the People of This
Country Know For.

Few people have any idea of the vast
areas given over wholly to the cultiva-
ton of opium. The consumption and
the manufacture of this drug, far from
being on the decline, are on the increase
to an almost incredible extent, says the
Scientific American. The greed for gold
IS lar more predominant in the human
makeup than is the philanthropic spirit
which seeks to elevate mankind,
though it's purse may suffer in so doing.
England reaps more benefit from the
cultivation of opium than all other ma
tons put together.
IN the district of Bengal alone there
are nearly 100000 acres devoted ex-
clusiVely to the cultivation of the poppy.
Its cultivation is legalized and in every
way encouraged by the British govern
ment, which has an absolute monopoly
or this Industry in India. The two prin-
clpal districts are presided over by and
under the direct control of English Of
Meals residing at Patna and Ghazipur.
The Bahar agency embraces an opium
held OF about 100000 acres and that of
Benares is close second with 473.5OO
acres
Ihere is fierce dispute going on lust
no" as to the relative merits or deme@
its OF opium. Many eminent men in the
scientific world openly declare that
opium is blessing. The government
experts in the country where it grows go
so lar as to say that opium is a blessing
instead of being curse to the natives.
However, the vast majority of mankind
will long be of the undivided opinion that
opium Is the most all-crushing curse
that att1lcts man. The enthusiasts, or,
rather, extremists, of the International
Ant1-Oplum society picture the condi-
ton OF India under the ban of opium in
the most dreadful manner possible. Ac-
cordlng to one of these men, all of the
6O0,000,000 human beings in Asia are ex-
posed to the evils of the opium trade as
legalized by the British government.

SLANG NAMES FOR COINS.
Odd Terms Used in Different Conn.
tries to Designate Certain
Pieces of Money.

Probably every country possesses pc
culiar or slang" terms in everyday use
for it's coins. For instance, a ''nickel'
very we'll defines the American five-cent
piece of currency, and a red cent" is
equally expressive, says London Tit
Bits.
In Scotland man who "flies kites is
probably not worth DOODLE" which is
an imaginary coin slightly differing
from the same term in America
In England the same person would
not be worth mag" A kite" is an
accommodation bill; mag" is the
smallest copper coin of the realm.
On the racecourse one hears talk of
betting pony" which is e25, or win
ming monkey" which is $500. The
latter, however, is somewhat rare.
A "quid" only has reference to tobacco
when the term is used by sailors. Among
landsmen it means 91. Small gam
blers play for bulls and "half-bulls"
in other words, five shillings and
half-crowns. Collectors occasionally
come across ''joeys,"' or fourpenny-
pieces, and hanson cab driver will ex-
pect you to tip him with tanner"
which is what he calls sixpence, while
the common appellation of a shilling is
a bob"

%Ez with the long lines of the

the Louis XVI. period are visible in
color as well as in design and fabric.
and thus we see the vieux-rose, the
strong blues and the pale yellows of
that period.
Then again we have the silk gallon,
the braids and the trimmings of the
same date, the cutaway coats, the en-
broidered waistcoats, and beautiful old
enamel buckles and buttons, not to
speak of the directoire hat.
The favorite waistcoat of the mo-
ment is composed of white kid or white
suede, embroidered with beautiful
golden gallon, or worked with gold and
silver, with tabs and loops. This, OF
course, is worn with the Louis XVI.
cutaway coat, which may be of SIX or
cloth, and a plain skirt gathered on the
hips.
The waistcoat is brought into a
sharp point in front, and so, indeed,
are many evening bodices.
A beautiful white and gold damask
brocade was worn at a big evening re-
ception here quite recently. The skirt
was laid in on the hips in big pleats,
but was almost plain in front, finished
with twisted cords to weight the skirt
at the feet. The corsage was cut la

Paps so mighty busy these days
But he'll knock off pretty soon,
An be with you, dear. and happy

Out beside the cottage door;
can hear you scolding Rowdy
Cause your aprons soiled and tore:
See you holding Johnny -jump-ups
Sos to catch their faint perfume
III be with YOU baby. baby!

Wonder, dear, if Rowdy knows it.
What lucky dog he is?
Knows I'm envying the frolics
And the seedlings that are his?
Knows I'm working, working, working
In the city's dust and gloom.
So that l can be there with YOU
When the glories are in bloom?
So that I can stand and watch you.
Oh. my queen of baby girls!
Watch you picking morning glories
When the wind is in your curls:
Picking "botay for p. pa"
Life is snorn of all it's gloom!
I am working to be with you
When the morning glories bloom!
You're asleep when leave hame. dear
You're asleep again at night;
Though, when you half wake to kiss me
1t makes ev'rything all right;
And hope paints the ways before ma
And my heart throbs to a tune,
When think that III be with you
When the glories are in bloom.
