CANDIDATE SEEKS REST AND
REcUPERATION AT WINNIE
SOCK CLUB, IN THE CAT
SKILLS.

WINNISOOK CLUB. via. BIG IN
DIAN, N. Y, Aug 15::-With the odor
of balsam pine boughs all about him,
Alton 3. Parker slept Sunday in a
rustic cottage at Winnisook Lodge, in
the heart of the Catskills.
The candidate left Rosemount early
Sunday morning, attended his son-in-
laws church at Kingston, and then
took the train for Big Indian. Thence
he, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. s.. Lyman
Dawes, Of Albany, and Frederick Par
ker, his brother, drove team over
the rough mountain roads nine miles
to Winnisook.
It is fact that no preliminary can
vass of this State has been made by
the men in charge of the Democratic
managed gubernatorial canvass in
this State himself as chairman of the
State com mittee is likely to have a
frank consultation with his friends
here regarding the situation. The
Judge is taking the keenest interest
in the campaign and he will not toler-
ate any shiftlessness in it's conduct.
This week he expects to have con-
ferences with several men prorui-
nent in the councils of the party. He
is likely to give the campaign an i'm
petus himself if any leyhargy is indi-
Gated. Judge Parker himself drove
the two seated mountain wagon up
the mountain from Big Indian to
Winnisook, and owing to this fact
many along the way missed seeing
him.
One group of boys had their cam
eras ready but would not believe that
the ordinary looking man driving
was actually the Democratic candi-
date for President of. the United
States.

THE HOME.
Farmers Boys In Partnership With

States.

Ii we had telephone communication
with every farm house in the land we
would send a message to the boys,
stay on the farm If we had the
postotfice address of every farmers
son we would write him the same
effect and request the postmaster
general to instruct the mail carrier
to see that the letter was safely de-
livered.
an old proverb says: God made
the country and man made the town. -
Man has not done his work as well as
God did. What could be more beauti-
full than the country, either primitive
Or cultivated, and what more repul-
sive than the dirty street and soualid
tenements OF big city?
\ few generations ago, only two OF
three grandfathers back, all OF the
Mississippi Valley that was not prai-
RE was covered with a luX1riant for
est-a forest SO tall and dense that
when the trees were in full leaf the
MONDAY sun was almost shut out. a
dense growth of sugar. beech and pop
lar. walnut and oak extended every
where. Beneath all was found a mass
OF spice brush, pea vine, nettles and
wild grasses-the lair of the WOLF and
the bear The red man had beauti-
ful home, all his own, without any
rent or taxes to pay. That was Gods
country indeed.
Then came the ever encroaching
steps of the white man. Soon his cab
in was seen. his ak resounded through
the forest and the bark of the dog, the
tcusty friend OF man, was heard. The
tinkling cowbell gave music at noon
as the COW kept time around a smok-
ing pile of brush, fighting the flies.
About dusk, when she left her smok-
ing pile near the cabin and sought her
food in the forest, the tinllinS of the
bell revealed her movements as it did
even during the stiffness of the night.
If the settler awolle during the night
he still heard the tinkling of the bell.
The silence was soothing and the still
ness sacred. That was Gods own
country.
Those times are past The red man
and the wild animals are gone, the
pioneers cabin has given place to the
modern house and the one COW with
her tinkling bell to a herd OF fat ami
mals-shorthorns. Jerseys, Holsteins
or high grades of different kinds. The
grandson of the pioneer now farms
with machinery and smiles content
and contemplates his bank account.
He is in partnership with God.-

A Great SCHOOL
The Exposition as an Educational
Force.

From the Scientific Americana
A great modern worlds Exposition,
like that of ST. Louis, which is intend
ed first and last as a condensed eXhib-
it in concrete form, of the accumu-
lated knowledge and practical
achievements of the civilized world
The endeavor is made to gather this
material together in such orderly ar
rangement and within such practical
BILE limits of space, that the individual
may turn to any part of it, and Sc
cure the information which he is
seeking, with as much certainty as
when he takes down an encyclopedia
from his library shelves. To attempt
the collection and arrangement of
such an encyclopedia is stupendo1s
task in itself, and the writer ventures
to assert. after many weeks careful
study of the st. Louis Fair, that new
err considering the magnitude OF the
undertaking., has SO much material
been gathered in one place and CLASH
fed on an orderly and carefully con-
sidered plan, with such signal sue
cess as this. We have already spoken
in terms of praise of the splendid ar
cflitectural achievements of the Fair;
and in the present connection, when
dealing with its educational aspects,
acknowledgement is due to the eN-
cellent manner in which the director
of exhibits has brought to bear his
experience in classification. gained in
other great exhibitions CT this char
acter.
To any one who watches critically
the crowds that wander through the
plazas and broad aisles of the eNhi-
bition palaces. what time they are not
ia king in the sights and sounds OF
that great highway of amusement,
The Pike, it would seem, at first
sight, that the great bulk of the
Worlds Fair visitors are drawn hith-
et by the mere desire for amusement;
but on a more careful study of the
muititUdes. and after taking note OF
the general run OF comment and con-
versation, the conviction grows that
the majority of the American people
there seem to be few foreigners at
present within the Fair grounds
have come TO ST. Louis primarily to
be instructed. The most positive
proof of this is found in the crowded
attendance at the various exhibitions
OF highly technical and scientific APP
paratus and phenomena, that are Civ
en- in several places throughout the
grounds Moreover, it is a significant
fact that it is the more difficult and
intricate exhibits, those that require
intelligent thought and consideration
if they are to be understood, that
seem to present the strongest at
traction to the sightseers-. This is as
it should be; and it may surely be
taken as evidence that the main OBJ
ject for which the Fair has been con-
ceived and carried out, namely, that
of acting as a powerful educational
force, is being abundantly fulfilled.

He who hath most heart knows

A cheerful countenance denotes
good heart.

NEW YORK, May 14.-The most
notable development in to-dayss hnan-

of another extremely large gold ship
ment for next Tuesdays steamer. The
amount already taken for the date,
$40. 100000, exceeds all precedent for
daily shipments, even in this recoId d
break king season.
The announcement came along With
the weekly bank statement, with an
attempt at reflection of the past weeks
movements.
I The statement probably made the
bank positions look worse than IL
really is According to those figures,
$40. 100000 cash left the banks this
week: whereas the truth is, that the
ST.. 600 900. gold shipments which fig
ure in the statement were offset this
week by fully s75.ooo,ooo cash recciV

stands, the statements show not only

will be notictd that without this &c
