CHAPTER XIV.

1NE evening after supper In the
middle Of that week kenner
N met George in the Office Of the
~ Johnston House, the only hotel
in the place. 1t was full of travelling
statesmen and wagoners from the
mountains, who had come in to sell
their cotton. =" i've been honeyfugglin'
some of 'em up," Kenner smiled, "tell-
Ing 'em this is the best market, an so
forth, in the SOUTH They'll git to be-
levin it after awhile Eff you hain't
got nothin' to do let's walk over to Bob
Hanks store"
George agreed, and they started out
together. THAT boys big puzzle to
me-" Kenner continued thoughtfully.
"Sometimes I think Hillyer did right
In backin' i'm in his business, an then
ag'in 1 think maybe his own daddy
knows i'm better'n anybody else."
"Why, thought Bob was simply do
ing wonderfully WE'LL" said George in
surprise.
EFF he'd jest let his old habits go
he'd be all right" replied Kenner, ::'but
the boys say he's as bad about firtin'
with the gals as he ever was. You
know thar's little orphan in Mrs.
Styles boardin' school on the hill. The
gals from Louisville, KY; she haint
more'n sixteen eff she's that, an she's
a purity, daredevil little trick. Well,
you know the old lady's powerful par

charge, especially the boardin' pupils,
but Bob manages to meet that gal two
or three times week unbeknownst to
Mrs. Styles, an they take walks an

A remarkable appliance, the inven-
ton Of an Englishman, will shortly
make its appearance at the seat of
war, and may be expected to have =
considerable effect on the progress of
the campaign.
It consists Of an automatic aero
plane. containing a powerful photo

to considerable height and driven
four miles away from the base, at
which 1t is held captive, and brought
back after taking complete photo

try over which it has lowered.
Thus an army possessing this ap-
paratus can safely obtain a detailed

the aeroplane will register the exact
distances of all the objects photo

PLAN TO MOVE TOWN SITE.
Floods Cause Residents of Forty Mile,
Wash, to Seek Higher Ground
for Location.

Plans are being formed for moving
the town site Of Forty Mile, Wash, to
higher ground, where the place will
not be menaced by spring floods. The
deluge which coursed over Forty Mile
early in May was worse than usual.
The entire town was covered with
driftwood and huge icebergs and logs
were carried through the sides Of the
Forty Mile hotel. Damage to the
stocks Of goods and buildings amount
ed to $4,000.
The Northern Commercial COM
pany's store and other concerns had to
pile their goods on high shelves and
counters. Some Of them were placed
on RATS and carried to higher ground.
Everybody fed to the hills and slept
there several nights. Water in the
warehouses stood six feet deep.
The new town site, as laid out, will
be on much higher ground. Probably
a new name will be selected, because
Of the confusion Of the present name
with Forty Mile river.

Parker's Telegram Mastery Politics.

Judge Parker's telegram to Sheehan
at ST. Louis was not courageous and
its receipt does not prove the sender a
hero. 1t was shrewd and q master
stroke of practical politics.
The west and south were opposed
to the Insertion of gold plank in the
platform; their representatives on
the committee on resolutions defeated
the efforts of Hill, ct al, to secure the
insertion Of such a plank. The
absence of some statement from the
party that would satisfy the eastern
money interests that the party, IL
successful, did not propose to "run
amuck, p" would result in the loss Of
immense campaign contributions and
give the republicans an issue on
which they twice carried the necessary
eastern states and on which they
might again carry them.
The platform was written; tie con-
vention would not insert gold plank
and it would have been fatal to the
party'S integrity to adopt one. The
next and logical course was for Judge
Parker to declare himself of the
opinion that the gold standard is
irrevocably established, and that he
''would act accordingly, that is, veto
any measure providing for double
standard. Thus he cemented himself
in the confidence of eastern inanciers
and rendered it impossible for the re-
publicans to make the money question
an issue in the eastern states. And
while the republicans may hope to
profit from the Parker telegram, in
the west, democrats of the latter
section, forgetting resentment, will
be quick to note that the republican
party is committed to the gold stand
ard.
In the eastern states, essential to
success of either candidate, the
administration will be on the defen-
sive throughout the campaign, and
the democratic party will be the
aggressor. This gives the latter
immense advantage.
Whether Judge Parker can take the
labor vote from Mr.. Roosevelt is a
Question that only the count of ballots
will observation-disclosures Telegraph.

HEAT KILLS TYPHOID GERM.
Bacillus Is Also Sensitive to Leng
Exposure to Cold-Rapidly De-
stroyed by Sunlight.

Recent expezZents upon the vital
ity of the typhoid germs show that
this organism is rapidly destroyed by
heat or cold.
Rapidly, however, does not mean in
stantly at freezing temperature, as
the typhoid germ may survive when
frozen in ice for considerable length
of time, although the number of liv-
ing organisms is rapidly diminished.
They are much more sensitive to heat.
An exposure of about five minutes at
a temperature from 176 to 1876 Fahren-
heit is destructive. This figure is a
little higher than is usually assigned
for this germ.
Typhoid germs are also rapidly de-
stroyed by sunlight, an exposure of 80
minutes to one hour being sufficient to
sterilize culture when spread in .
thin layer.

ART IN DOSING SICK TIGER
Much Ingenuity Displayed by Keeper
in Sending Medicine to
Proper Spot.

In this particular zoo is very beau
tiful tiger, said to be the largest one in
captivity. But if he would only move
about as If he felt at home, and not be
SO dignified, we should be better pleased
with him, says writer in St. Nicholas;
yet the poor creature is excusable, be-
cause he has dyspepsia, and his suffer-
ings make him cross. One day the keep
er decided to administer dose of medi-
cine, SO with the bottle and whip he
climbed to the top of the cage. Was that
tiger cross? You would have thought so
If you had seen him throw back his great
head and snap at the whip. The keeper,
after engaging him, poured little medi-
cine down the lash, which he gradually
withdrew, until in it's place there was
tiny medicinal stream, at which the
tiger kept biting and swapping, too much
surprised, it seemed, to distinguish be-
tween whip and liquid. When he turned
away his head the medicine was poured
over his paws, and when he had licked
them clean that days treatment was
completed.

In 1896 the democratic party repudi-
ated Grover Cleveland, principally be-
cause he used the great powers incl
dent to his Office to shorten their
country's money supply, and in that
way occasion one of the worst tinan-
cial panics in our history. He was
assisted in his scarce money prora-
ganda by many republican members
OF congress, who seized an opportuni-
ty to play politics to the injury of
their country and the democratic
party. In the presidential campaign
the democratic party made mistake
In paying too much attention to de-
tails, but it taught a lesson which
produced results. 1t established the
truth of the quantitative money
theory and that was worth all the toll
and endeayor of Mr.. Bryan and his
millions Of followers. The money
question will not be political issue
again until the scarce money schem-
ersS commence another attak upon
the country's money. Should they
demand the retirement of our hum
edreds Of millions of silver dollars and
silver certificates, or start another
endless chain for the destruction Of
the greenbacks like they did during
Cleveland's last administration, there
will be another money fight and the
country will be better prepared to
deal with the scoundrels than they
were in 1896.-Manchester Democrat.

GRAND CANYON A MIsNoM
There Is But One and Lesser Georges
Should Not Have Been
So Named.

There is but one Grand Canyon, de-
clares George Wharton James, in Four
Track News. The name should never
have been given to lesser gorges. The
very fact that there is so-called
Grand Canyon In Colorado is mislead-
ing. "The Grand Canyon of Colorado
does not sound much different from
1.-THE Grand Canyon Of the Colorado, /"
hence many people confuse them.
The Canyon Of the Colorado river.
which flows through Arizona, forms
the boundary line between that terri
tory and California. and then empties
int othe gulf OF California.
1t is the grandest gorge In the
world. In it 1000 Of the wonderful
gorge Of the state Of Colorado could
be buried. With It's tributaries (many
of which have never yet been ex-
plored) it would reach, If all the can
yons were placed one after another,
nearly around the world.
