In the interval, however, the demo-

our city government and have installed
the Honorable Jim" in the mayors

and are now hot to dislodge the police

My husband may be dark or fair
He changes every day;
Sometimes his hair Is golden brown,
The next It's iron gray.
His eyes are black, as dark as night,
Or else are azure blue;
And for his living-let me think
What shall / have him do7

With but a month for play;
And then again, with gold galore,
All life holiday

But can be moved az will
And Oft 30 on a mountain top.
OFT by shady rill.

Where waves dash high and break,

Are chained BY iron bands
Then ask me not TO change my lot,

Iowa is doing what 1t can to relieve the
apprehenslons OF J. :. Hill, who does not
know where the next generation viii get
bread to eat. Merely by the more careful
selection Of seed corn Iowa has increased
its corn production about Is per cent. This
careful attention to seed corn is due mainly
to the efforts OF Prof. Holden, heartily sup
ported by the railroads, who provided him
and his assistants with free seed corn
gospel trains" which educated farmers all
over the state in better corn culture There
isn't much danger that agriculture Will
not adapt itself from time TO time to the

white Metal Materially Reduces the
Lead of Gold.
Minneapolis Journal.
Colorado lie deeply interested in the Won
derful boom In silver which sent the price
up TO 20 cents an ounce. The explanation,
OF this squirt in silver appears TO be thaS
while the demand has steadily, thouE
gradually. grown since 1896, there has beg
no appreciable increase in the production
in the last ten years. While there has
been a large amount OF money invested in
mining IN that period, 1t has gone into
gold end copper ventures rather than into
the search for the white metal. The gold
hunt has been stimulated by the adoption
of gold as the money standard Of the greet
commercial countries, while copper has
been a favorite object OF search because
the new uses 70 which the metal is put
daily have found an apparently ineKhaust-
ible market for II.
The price OF silver has also been stim-
ulated by the largely increased demand
for II as subsidiary coinage IN this country
and by the prospects ahead OF It IN the
countries whose circulating medium ls sill
yer and copper. The greatest Of these is
the report that China is about to adopt a
money system which will be imperial. in
strong contrast with the old system, which
has been for provinces only. The new
Chinese coinage may be based on silver or
on gold. but in either event the circulating
medium will be silver. The increase in tn
commerce OF the world demanding metafdcl
money for international exchanges has also
something to do with the buoyant price
of the white metal While 1t has been
assumed that the increased production Of
gold was taking care of this, Director OF
the Mint Roberts has recently compiled
an estimate Of the worlds supply OF gold
money, which is s15O,0OOOO0 less than the
usually accepted estimate. He believes
the amount Of gold which has been d.
verted to the arts has been understated
to something like this amount.
