If you are good at guessing Or an
swering here are few questions you
can wrestle with: "You can see any
day white horse, but did you eve,
see white colt? How many differ
ent kinds OF trees grow in your
neighborhood, and what are they
good for? Why does horse eat
grass backwards and a COW forwards
Why does a hop-vine wind one way
and a bean-vine the other? Where
should a chimney be the larger, at
the top. or bottom, and why? Can
you tell why horse when tethered
with rope always unravels it, while
COW always twists it into kinky
knot?
How old must a grapevine be before
it begins to bear? Can you tell why
leaves turn upside down just before
rain? What wood will bear the
greatest weight before breaking:
Why are all cow-paths crooked?

The democrats believe that public
property is public property and that
not even the occupant of the White
House should turn men of war into

"The democratic party believes in
expansion-it is the party of expan-

greatest expansionist. But it is op-
posed to imperialism.
THE democratic platform says:
We denounce protection as robbery

democrats mean exactly what that
platform says.
"They know that through protec-

democrats, if elected, will find way
to pull away from the trusts their
protecting cloak-the tariff. \

PARKER IN NEW YORK.
Is Working Hard to Fan1iliarize
Himself With Details of Campaign.

A look into Parker's reception
room at his apartments at the Hotel
Seville reveals a olitical workshop
equipped almost as completely as his
library at Rosemount. 1t only needs
view of the stacks of correspon-
dence and imposing looking docu-
ments to corroborate the report that
the democratic candidate intends
spending a great deal of his time be-
tween now and election day in New
York, where he can keep in close
touch with the campaign
That Judge Parker is acquainting
himself with the minutest details of
the canvass in every one of the states
placed by either party in the doubtful
column is evident from his Discus
sions with campaign managers. Many
reports are being made to Judge Par
keT by individual workers which do
not pass through the hands Of the
national committee and which are
given his personal attention. This
work takes much of his time, so much
in fact that scores of callers who
have no particular business with the
candidate are unable to find him dis
engaged. Little of Judge Parker's
correspondence is attended to by
clerks Every letter that goes out,
unless it be some formal acknowl-
edgeInent of service, is read and sign
ed by the judge.
In this political workshop the can
didate little resembles the dignihed
man so much photographed. FIRE.
quently he wears a bo5bed off sack
coat, with elbows shiny and thin, and
he does not always change to his
frock when visitors are announced.
In this apparel he usually toys with
pen or pencil nervously, as if anxious
to get back to his work.
This is as newspaper men found
him yesterday when they were ad
uitted for a daily talk. Little in
formation comes from these visits.
The candidate will discuss his per-
sonai plans but no questions of a
political character He has made it
plain that matters which might in
fluence the destiny of the campaign
should not be answered in an Off
hand manner, as might be the case
where replies are made to questions
careIessly propounded or capable of
more than ones Interpretation. He
has adhered to policy established
soon after his nomination-that OF
answering formally any questions
vitally affecting party interests.
Judge Parker found time yesterday
to answer much correspondence. His
callers were fewer than on any pre-
vious occasion when he has visited
