WHAT bib THE
W~OGGLEBUG sAYf

NC00AI@OOh On !
Who Is the Wogglebug? The Woggle-
dug is 1T, with a big | and d big L. He
is also I. E., which, being translated into
United States, means Thoroughly Educate
ed. He has all the learning OF the ages
packed away in the smallest noddIe you
ever saw. lie looks like his pictures
Just as wise; and he gained his wisdom
by living III a school house-crawled
through the books and absorbed all they
had i'll them.
The Wogglebug comes from Ola mys-
FERROUS land beyond the planets. He is
to the United States. He is accompanied
by several companions. One is the
ScareCrow, found in a field in the land OF
o.. Though filled with lie, lie is stuffed
with straw and has no brains. Another
companion is the Tin Woodmad, made of
things from a tinsmitn's shop. He has
no heart. Then there is Jack Pumpkin
head, made by a boy named It'd. He
was made to scare a witch. The witch
sprlnckled the powder of life on him and
made him walk and talk. Tip stole the
powder OF lie, s%prinkled it on a Saw
horse, and the ~Sawhorse cantered way
with Jack on his back. Then all of the
Ozites came across the Gump. The
Gump is two ~hlgh-backed sofas dashed to-
gether with a stuffed deer's head and
palm leaf fans for wings. The Gump is
vehicle on which the Wogglebug, the
Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Jack
~Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse have
come to the United States.
The visitors from Ozwill go to all parts
OF the United States and see all there is
to be seen. The Wogglebug, wisest of
insects, is the guide of the party, and the
questions that puzzle the visitors he is
always prepared to answer. All the do
ings of the visitors will be chronicled in

Is CONSUMPTION IncurabIe =.

Yes! If Rydale's Elixir is used in time:
before too much of the luug tissue is
involved. This modern scientific
medicine removes all morbid irritation
and inflammation from the lungs to
the surface and expels them from the sys-
tenn. 1t aids expectoration, heals the ul-
cerated surfaces, relieves the cough and
makes breathing easy. Rydale's Elixir
does not dry the mucous surface and thus
stop the cough. It's action is just the OPP
pOsite-it stimulates and soothes. 1t kills
the germs that cause chronic throat and
lung disease and thus aids nature to restore
these organs to health. Trial size 25 cts.

Upon the money question we have al
ways stood for the quantitative theory,
have always opposed national banks, and
have said that the creation of money was
a governmental function which should
never be surrendered; should never be
delegated to any class of citizens, but
should always be held by the government
as one of the great attributes Of sovereign-
ty. We were for free silver upon the
ground that to the extent it was coined
it would increase the volume of the cur
rency. But any other equal amount of
currency created by the government out
of any material whatsoever would have
suited us quite as well. We stand pre-
cisely where Jefferson and Jackson stood.
We are for the money of the constitution
and for the old democratic doctrine that
it is as easy for the government to issue
it's own treasury notes to pass current as
money, as it is to Issue a bond upon
which the banker shall base his note,
and use it as money.
IEThomas Jefferson and Andrew Jack
son considered{that one national bank
with its comparatively insignificant cir
culation was of deadly danger to republic
can institutions, why should it be heresy
for us to contend that 5000 national
banks with a circulation of more than
$400, 000, 900 are likewise dangerous TO
TO the spirit of republican Institutions?
No class of citizens should be allowed
to use a governmental function for pri-
vate profit and reap the gains
whichfthe bankers now derive from that

DO the democratic leaders suppose for
one moment that the voters of this coun-
try are going to forget the history of the
past eight years? Do they imagine for a
moment that, when they stand in the at
titude OF confessing so colossal a blunder
as they made upon the money question,
they are going to be trusted on any other
question? | again ask, did they know
what they were talking about during
those eight years, or were they simply
deceiving the American people2
Perhaps they were ignorant upon the.
money question. If so, how will they 90

they go about satisfying the voter that

yesterday ?
1t seems to me to be the most amazing
piece of effrontery for the democratic
party to go before the American people
and proclaim that for eight years that
they have been wrong and the republic
cans have been right and at the same
time demand that the crowd which has

TO PUT ON THE GLOVES.
What Mike Donovan Says of the Presi-
dents Boxing.

When President Roosevelt gets through
the rush of receiving so many visitors and
preparing his message to Congress he will.
according to Mike Donovan, the instructor
of athletics and boxing in the New York
Athletic Club, put on the gloves and try
his hand after long lapse. Prof. Dono-
van, who was at one time the middle
weight champion Of the country, will also
give instructions in boxing to Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., who is in Washington under
the instructions of tutor preparing for
entrance to Harvard College.
The President, Prof. Donovan says be-
lieves in boxing as a healthful exercise.
He is a good boxer, quick on his feet and
with his hands. The President is also
skillful wrestler and broadswordsman.
Speaking of the President as a boxer Prof.
Donovan says: 4,
MIR. Roosevelt is an excellent infghter.
prised even me with his science. He Is
quick on his feet, handles his fists well,
and doesn't know what fear is He lunges
right in, and the man who is opposite him
has to do some pretty lively foot work to
keep away from him.
And keeping him away is the only
chance that many good man would have
of beating Mr.. Roosevelt. This is due to
his near-sightedness. Once let him get
through your guard, and you are a goner.
He can hit hard and fast, and is a wonder
at striking short blows on the body or law
His knowledge of wrestling is exceptional,
and this is of great advantage in close
range work"

thousands and thousands of dollars worth
of pearls during the past twelve months,
and 1t Is the unanimous belief of those who
are In position to know that thousands are
sold which have not come to the knowl-
edge of the general public.
Many people are hunting pearls in the
Wabash river. At Longtown one day last
week hundreds Of people were at work on
big sandbar there. The bar was full of
mussel shells. in which the pearls are
very much larger when open than the nose
found. The pearls grow on the inside OF
the shells, which are broken open and the
pearl carefully removed by the hunter
It is said the production Of pearls from
the Wabash river is unequaled by any 9TH
er stream in the world, and 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that the eye of the foreign deal
ers and nobility are turned toward Indiana.
The quality of the Wabash pearl stands far
ahead of all others, and from the very mo-
ment 1t is found it is marketable Several
small fortunes have been made by the pearl
hunters. and the end is not yet

HE SAVED A QUARTER
TROUBLE OVER THOMAS IEEM-
IN0's OATH OF OFFICE.
A Census Employe Who swore Himself
and the Trouble That is
Likely to Follow.

That there are some persons who, either
through ignorance or parsimony, will go to
almost any extreme in order to save twenty
five cents is illustrated by case In the
Department of Commerce and Labor. 1t
comes from the bureau Of the census and
concerns one Thomas A. Leeming of Slo-
cum, r. l.
The aforesaid Leeming was employed by
the bureau of the census to obtain certain
statistics In his neighborhood, for which he
was to be paid at the rate of one dollar per
day This is frequently done, the employ
ment lasting as long as the employe is Of
service to the bureau. 1t is necessary for
every employee OF the government to exc
cute an oath of Office before he enters upon
the performance of his duties, and in the
case of Leeming he was sent the regular
blank forms and requested to subscribe 10
the oath before a notary and to return the
same to the bureau in Washington.
This he did, but he neglected to inform
the bureau that he had saved the twenty
fiye-cent notarial fee by signing the name
of a notary himself. In other words. he
swore himself and sent in the oath. The
notary whose name he signed was called
upon to attach his seal to the document In
order to make 1t legal. whereupon he In
formed the director of the census that ne
had not signed the oath and that he fancied
the signature was a forgery, fnasmuch as
he was the only notary of that name In
Rhode Island.
Some Information Wanted.
The director of the census then, at the
request of John w. Langley, disbursing
clerk who wished to make out the pay
account for Leeming, asked the new en-
ploye to explain how he got that oath adj
minstered. This was in September, and
nothing has been heard from Leeming In
reply to that letter of the director of the
census. The latter today Informed the
assistant secretary of the Department Of
Murray has taken action. He first will
ascertain If Leeming has drawn any pay
for his services and If he has, how much;
then he will be anxious to know If any OF
the statistics obtained through this queer
employee have been Incorporated in the re-
ports of the census; then he will SEEK to
have the Department of Justice instruct
the United States attorney for the district
in which Leeming operated to see that
United States marshal lays legal hands
upon the aforesaid Ieeming and causes him
that oath at saving of twenty-five cents.
Mr.. Leeming like "Brer Rabbit" seems
to be layin low for some chance to get out
OF the matter evidently thinking that if he
does not answer the letter of the director
of the census the latter cannot find him.
There are number of Ill informed persons
in the United States who think along lines
similar to those of Mr.. Leeming, but they
have not yet been brought to the attention
of the Department of Commerce and Labor
If Mr.. Leeming is not quick and plausible
with his explanation there is a likelihood
that he Will be called upon In court to prove
that he is not forger.

spread with frightful rapldity, out in.
