Beans VS.. Beef,

The lowly bean is tine worse enemy

If the people knew how to use it, it
could we'll nigh put the beef trust out
of business.
"What do you think of Americans
eating more beans as a method of
escape from the extOrtions of the
beef truSt?" was asked Secretary viii.
son of the department of Agriculture.
san excellent plan he replied;
it would be a mighty good thing.
The bean-ln fact all the legume
family-is a splendid substitute for
meat. The bean furnishes the nito-
genous muscle-producing element of
human food as does no other vpge-
table. With beauS men can live with
out any meat whatever.-Ex.

An Appeal to the Record.

The history of Financial legislation
in America can be summarized into
the very brief statement that the
Republicans have advocated and the
Democrats opposed every act of legis-
lation calculated to perfect the syS-
tenn which now obtains. The c0nsen-
SuS of mature Republican Judgment
has been wrong, usually. The Re-
publican party has made mistakes
and rectitied them. The Democratic
party has made mistakes and insisted
upon repeating them.
The national banking act was a Re-
publican measure, calculated to re-
deem the country from the evils of
wildcat banking. The measure was
opposed by 80 per cent. Of the Demo.
Gratis in Congress and is today opposed
by very large number Of them, in
spite of the time test of its merits
In 1896 the Democratic platform de-
clared the issue of national bank
notes unconstitutional and so recent
ly as 1900 the platform demanded the
substitution of Government notes or
silver certificates for bank notes as
rapidly as possible.
Every Republican in Congress voted
for the resumption of specie payments
and every Democrat against it; and
a Democratic House in 1877, passed
bill for the repeal CT the resumption
act. A majority of the Democrats
voted against the bill to repeal the
silver purchase act, and only II Demo
Gratis voted for The establishment Of
gold standard, while l7S voted against
1t. The Republicans in 1896 and 1900
and 1904 declared for the gold stand
and, in their party platforms. The
Democrats declared for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver in 1896
ard In 1900, and remained silent on
the subject in their platform Of 1904.
That, In brief, Is the record and yet
the Democratic party comes up and
asks the voters of the country to en-
trust the destinies of the nation to its
unsafe hands and its uncertain poli-
cies on question that concerns the
welfare of every American. 1t is
like asking the owners of vessel,
freighteG with valuable cargo, steam
ing strong in known current with
trained pilot, to surrender it to an
unskilled pilot and untried crew.

ATrue Tale.

The other day In the city of Des
Moines an old gentleman, member OF
the Presbyterian church, after a few
days illness, died.
His next door neighbor on one side
was a Hebrew, on the other side a
member of the Methodist church, and
the neighbors a second door away, a
Catholic.
During his illness the nci.hbors
took turn about In caring for the old
man, whose wife was a semi-invalid.
There was no help In the household
save that rendered alternately by the
Jew, the Catholic and the Methodist.
They took splendid care of the aged
Presbyterian and his wife.
While the old man was dying there
was no minister present and the wife
asked II some one could not offer a
prayer. The Catholic repeated rever-
emily the Lords prayer and the others
reverently joined.
Together the Methodist and the
Jew and the Catholic prepared for the
funeral. A Presbyterian clergyman
read the service.
There was but one relatlve-a
daughter living In Chicago-aud the
funeral cortege consisted OF the
daughter and the families Of the Cath
olic, the Jew and the Methodist.
That's ALL
Only this; Twenty years age such a
thing would have been impossible.
Surely the world grows better and
more charitable and kinder.-K. G.

His tory CT the Passing Dollar.

Thirty years of silver agitation and
delusion may be regarded as ended
by the coinage OF the last silver
dollar. The striking Of this coin
was suspended by Thomas Jeffer-
son, and not resumed on any scale
till Martin Van Buren, was president.
Only small amounts we're struck pre-
vlouS to and during the suspension Of
specie payments, and the total
amount coined prior to the decline Ut
silver and the discovery that If they
were In existence silver dollars would
be cheap is so small as to make the
clamOr for the Dollar of the Daddles'
as ridiculous as IL was foolish.
The Bland. Allison act of 1878 re-
stored the legal existence of the coin,
which had been abolished by the
'crime of 1873" and compelled the
manufacture Of silver dollars. The
silver purchase act Of 1890 stopped
the coinage at fixed date except as to
a sufficient number to red EN- "Sher.
man" notes, which, as a matter Of
fact, were redeemed In gold at the
demand of the holders. Senator
Wolcott, of Colorado, got into the
Spanish war revenue act provision
for the manufacture Of silver dollars.
In The gold standard act Of 1900 it
was attempted to put an end to this,
but the silver sentiment prevented
such action. The bulk of the silver
bought under the Sherman law has
been coined; the remainder will be
for subsidiary coinage We are prob.
ably through with the dollar Of the
DaddieS, except for the vast number
on hand which cannot be forced into
observation-disclosures City journal.

Noah Webster was, as might be sur
posed stickler for good English, and
often reprOyed his wife's misuse OF
the language. On one occasion,
according to fanciful yarn, Webster
happened to be alone In the dining
room with the very pretty housemaid
and being susceptible TO such charms
put his arms around her and kissed
her Squarely on the mouth. Just al
this moment Mrs. Webster entered
the room, gasped, stood aghast and in
tone Of horror exclaimed, "Why

Doing Our Best.

There are times when even the con-
tirmed optimist must, If he be honest
with himself, acknowledge dlSap-
pOintment. This should not lead to
Encouragement; yet however deter.
mined the effort to see the bright
side Of things, each one is bound to
find some shadows that mot be
quickly dlspelled, when the eye turns
inward to view its possesSor. No
moments Of life are more generally
gloomy, perhaps, than those wherein
men compare their achievements
with their opportunities. Few find
happiness or satisfaction in the con-
temptation Of how much might have
been done that remains undone. And
what has been done may seem of
small import, when compared with
one whose work has helped make the
world more fair; another whose
years seem so productive Of use and
benefits!
But mems real worth can not be
measured by the houses they build. The
ant is the most prodlgious worker IN
all the world below man, not because
its labors are more fruitful of visible
and tangile results, but because it
puts to Use a larger percentage of it's
time aud strength. Such is the true
measure Of life. The question is not
"Have l done what l could ?"
In the estimation of others, this life
or that may have been wasted, just
as some thought about the box of
