The fact is IS sad as it is true that the
baby finds the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At
the first it rhas no language but a cry"
Its one necessity is but to give express
sion to its suffering, and for that tear
suffices.
The mother who stoops in anguish
over the wailing child would do any
thing to ease its suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done 50 much for her child is past. She
did not realize that in those anxious
nervous days when she shrank from the
ordeal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood is soothed
and made easy for those who use Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t gives
physical buoyancy and mental bright
ness. 1t tranquilizes the nerves, en-
courages healthy appetite and induces
refreshing sleep. 1t gives the mother
strength for her hour of trial, and the
confidence and content which come
from strength. 1t makes the birth hour
practically painless. and by increasing
the natural, food secretions. it enables the
healthy mother to enjoy the happiness
of nursing her child.
"Favorite Prescription" contains no
alcohol. neither opium, cocaine, or any
other narcotic.

THE PLATFORM.

". J. Bryan. Who Helped to Make Il. Gives
This Summary.
VIM. J. Bryan has made public the
following statement relating to the
Democratic platform adopted at St.
Louis:
The plank on imperialism is posi-.
tive. strong and satisfactory to the en-.
tire party, and this question il the
paramount issue of this campaign.
The tariff plank is good, but it was
made SO on a close vote in the com.
mittee and largely against the opposi.
ton of Mr.. Parker's adherants.
The antitrust plank is a good one.
It demands the enforcement OF the
criminal clause of the law against
trusts; it demands the abolition of re.
bates and DISCRIMINATORY, and it de.
mands the withdrawal of the inter.
state privileges from trusts when once
convicted.
Tho plank is infinitely superior to
the Republican plank, and with a
President who desired to destroy the
trusts would be sufficient plank, but
as the trust plank was also substituted
by the full committee there is reason
to fear that it may not be in keeping
with the ideas OF the candidate.
The labor plank is all that could be
desired. 1t declares against govern.
ment by injunction; it favors arbitra.
ton and the eight-hour day, and de-
nounces the methods that have been
resorted TO in the Colorado strike, but
as these planks were added in the full
committee some uncertainty exists as
to the candidates position.
The platform declares in favor OF
the reduction of the army. Upon
this the committee was unanimous.
The platform declares in favor of
the enlargement of the scope OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
in favor of irrigation. The general
clauses of the platform excite no dis.
pute, and the appeal against the in.
PRODUCTION OF race issue ought to have
weight with the sober thinking Amer.
leans.
On the whole, the platform is good.
From . Western standpoint its great
est defect is that it makes no mention
OF the money question. An attempt
was made to secure a plank opposing
the melting of the silver dollars, CD.
posing the asset currency and branch
banks, expressing preference for the
United States note Ordinarily known
as the greenback) over the bank note,
but having refused to put in q gold
plank, the committee was not willing
to have any phase of the money al.
luded to. While the motion to re.
affirm the Kansas City platform was
voted down, there was a considerable
vote IN favor of its reaffirmation, and
the Western members of the com.
mittee, together with a few from the
South. stood together and secured
enough changes in the platform to
make 1t a presentable document and
worthy the support of the party.

"Fatal?" he repeated, running his

He did not look alarmed, but then he

There was the miser's gloating in
this repetition of a phrase sufficiently

gloating of a man who sees himself

ARO further opportunity was af

ing the three leading charac-

l saw unfolding before me. A task
was assigned me by the captain which
took me from the house, and missed
the next scene-the arrival Of the cor
Oner. But repaid myself for this loss
in way 1 thought justified by the i'm
portance of my own theory and the evil
dent necessity there was of collecting
each and every point Of evidence which
could give cOlOring to the charge in the
event Of this crime coming. to be looked
on at headquarters as one of murder.
Observing that light was still burn
ing in Uncle David's domicile, crossed
to his door and rang the bell. l was
answered by the deep and prolonged
howl of dog, soon cut short by his
masters amiable greeting. This latter
was Il surprise to me. had heard 80
often Of Mr.. MOore's churlishness as a
host that 1 had expected some rebuff.
But l encountered no such tokens of
hostility. His brow was smooth and his
smile cheerfully condescending. In
deed, he appeared anxious to have me
enter. and cast an indulgent look at
Nudge. whose irrepressible Joy at this
break in the monotony of his existence
was tinged with a very evident dread
Of offending his master. Interested
anew. l followed this man Of contra
dictory impulses into the room toward
Which he led me.
The time has now come for q more
careful description of this peculiar
man. Mr.. Moore was tall and Of that
refined spareness Of shape which sug-
gests the scholar. Yet he had not the
scholars eye. On the contrary, his re-
gard was quick, If not alert, and while
it did not convey actual malice or Ill
will it reused in the spectator an I'M
comfortable feeling not altogether
easy to analyze. He wore his iron
gray locks quite long, and to this dis
tinguishing idiosyncrasy, as well as to
his invariable custom Of taking his
dog with him wherever he went. was
due the interest always shown in him
by street urchins. On account Of his
whimsicalities he had acquired the cpl
tibet Of Uncle David among them, de-
spite his aristocratic connections and
his gentlemanlike bearing. His clothes
