"A Little Constitution Boy" Won't Get He
Candy
There is boy In. the state, training
school at Red Wing who has missed an
Easter remembrance from his little sister
who lives in Minneapolis. The little girl
had evidently saved her pennies and, to
cheer up her brother, purchased a GUAM
tity Of candy and nuts. These she
wrapped in a Crude package and mailed.
The little purse had evidently been Sc
verely strained In the purchases and an
insufficient number Of stamps had been
affixed to the package. FL
When the bundle came to the postoffice
it was turned over to Package Clerk Lee.
There was Accents postage due on the
packet, more than the contents were
worth. The officers Of the institution were
notified, but made no response. The pack
age will be returned to the sender II she
can be found. s8;s s3s

JAPAN is REAcTIoNARY.
There Has Been of Late a Marked Re-
version to Everything That Is
Distinctively National.

People in America and Eng
land make serious mistake in i'm
agining Japan to be sitting mod
estly at the feet of western learn
ing. Within the last decade there
has been a decided reaction in
Japan, writes Harold Bolce, in
BooklOver's Magazine. Foreign
ers in the employ of Japan are
rapidly being dispensed with. Re.
Gently there has arisen a wide
spread protest against the Ro-
manizatiOn of the literature of the
country. Roman characters on
silver and copper coins have been
replaced by ancient Monaghan
ideographs. In the upper house
Of the imperial diet the introduc.
ton into the empire of the metric
system was opposed, not long ago,
on the ground that to admit the
need of such an innovation would
reflect discredit on the mathemat.
ical ability and commercial stand.
ards of the nation. There has
been a marked reversion to the
japanese dress, a revival of Jap
anese games, glorification of Jap
anese antiquities, and, still more
significant, an outspoken convic.
ton that while the west has me-
chanics and science to give to the
east, there is little in its essential
civilization that the japanese
want or would accept.

How A Clark County Republican
Was Caught.

On Sunday NJ. T. McEldowney,
of Winchester, was visiting the
Cassidy family here. He saw a
humble bee in a holly-hock. A
bright political thought struck him.
Csn-irg b.. peta]s, he plucked the
heNe wi'h The bee prisoner. He
likcn4d tAe bumb.e bee to Judge
Alton B. Parker.
pmcing the flower TO the ears of
some Of the Democratic members
of the family he said "This is
Judge Parker before he sent that
telegram. just then the humble
bee sent his "tailegram," and at
once Mr.. McEldowney called for a
rag and soda TO wrap his finger.
Moral; Republican beware
of that telegram.

NUGGET WORTH 100000.
Finding of the Welcome Stranger"
by Four Men Dying from
Exhaustion.

Could even fiction or East side
melodrama suggest any situation
more romantic?
Figure to yourself, as the
French say, four men sinking
down exhausted in the arid Aus
tralian bush, way back in the
"Never-Never" country, where
rain does not fall for years at
stretch, ana the only plant tina
forces its way through the
choking sand is the dreaded spini-
fex, or Australian spear grass,
whose points pierce the pedestrian
like a lance. 4
They sank down to die, relates
the New York Herald. Their
horses, too were exhausted, and
one of these in stumbling struck
its forefoOt against a small piece
of rock that projected few inches
out of the sandy soil.
The eyes of one of the men fol-
lowed the stumble, and the next
moment he had struggled to his
feet, shouting: "Gold, goldr
Sure enough, the supposed crock"
struck by the iron-shod hoof glis-
tened in the pitiless sun, and a mo-
ment later all four men were dig
ging eagerly with bleeding fingers
around the place.
Almost in less time than it
takes to tell it these unfortunate
fellows had unearthed the largest
mass of virgin gold that the world
has ever seen. This is known as
the famous "Welcome Stranger"
nugget. 1t is of the enormous
weight of 10000 ounces, and every
ounce of it virgin gold, there being
practically no alloy whatever. 1t
is in the shape of rough cross
This marvellous find acted as
tonic upon the men and they were
enabled to make their way to the
nearest township, which CHANGED
to be Ballarat. Here the "Wel-
come Stranger" was deposited in
the bank, and after it was melted
down brought at the rate of 500
ar ounce, SO fDe was the quality
of the gold.

Hon Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N.
Y.-Dear Sir: Safety for the good
ship of state is of the first impor
lance. At time when a material
crisis is pending, when Democrat
ic institutions are in peril, when
great evils should be eradicated,
when important political questions
must be decided, it is fortunate
that the Democratic party has
given to the country candidate
for Pr sident in whom that great
council OF representative men have
every confidence, and we have the
best of reasons for believing that
that confidence will I've confirmed
by the intelligent patriotic people
of the country.
We all do know that the instincts
and training of the Judge are to
hold in sacred regard the Consti
tuition and truthful Interpretation
and execution of laws. Hence we
believe that under your admins
tration its laws will be administer
ed with fidelity and integrity. l
believe you Will be elected and
Thereby have an opportunity of

dound to the honor of the Demo-
cratic party and the glory of the
republic. / have the honor to
remain, very truly yours.

Strike of Butchers Advances Price
of Meat.

On Friday at St. Louis all cuts OF
pork went up from one to four
cents a pound. Mutton and lambs
one to five cents. Dealers who at
first predicted that the advance
would not be material have amend
ed their views, and now assert that
an advance of from ten to fifteen
cents pound for all meat will soon
be in force. Porterhouse and ten
derloin, are practically out of the
market. and other cuts show an in
crease of two and one half TO four
cents a pound
AS a result of the strike OF the
meat cutters of Chicago, the retail
price of beef was advanced from
one to two cents pound on all
meats in Boston on Friday.
In New York prices of beef con-
tinued to go up, and other provis-
ions were also affected. The big
retail traders announced Friday
that two more days would see the
advance doubled, making it from
eight to ten cents above the price
before the strike was declared.
Poultry and eggs have been adj
vanced and fish dealers announce
that sea food will be the next to go
up. Cold-storage poultry has been
advanced two cents pound.

ate and fearless thief" the clamp

POPE A GREAT FAVORITE'
Has Been a Pulpit Orator of Repowu from Very Outset of His
 Priestly Career.

One recalls, writes William J. D. Croke, in Century, those nov. ing speeches which, as car dinal, he delivered weeping in the conclave, setting forth all his i'm. perfections (his sins, even), and the disadvantages of his career from barefooted boyhood up, but which really secured him the throne, and the stories of him which every one knows in Lom' bardy and Venetia. For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he. A pulpit orator of renown from the very outset of his priestly career, the sought after panegyrist of great occa. sions when bishop and patriarch. no wonder that he was hailed by 9 voice ill Rome when he took pos
 session of his title as cardinal
 "No one has spoken so we'll as this cardinalw As country assistant, then parish priest, then professor in the seminary of Treviso, canon, chancellor of the diocese, great hierarch of Mantua, the successor of St. Mark, everyone seems to know him, and no one has any memory that is not pleasant.
