Speaker says Democrats Would AboI-

Would DistriBute II In More
Equitable Manner.

DENTON, Nd, oct. a.-Secretary Bona
parte spoke here today at a meeting In the
interest of William II. Jackson, the repub-
lican nominee for congress in the First dis
trict OF Maryland. Mr. Bonapartes speech
was a plea for the continuation Of the
next house oc representatives in republican
hands He quoted figures showing the i'm
crease Of the foreign commerce Of the
country since 1896, when the republicans
came Into power, in support of his con-
tention that the national prosperity was
due to republican administration, but this
very prosperity ne continued sis not the
source of some serious embarrassment.
When a nation grows rich the individuals
who make up that nation grow rich also,
and in such cases some Of those individuals
always grow far richer than others. We
have developed a crop OF wealthy men
without precedent In history and, more
over. the long distance telephone. the
ocean cable and the development of cor
porate agencies enable these multmillion-
aires to unite their wealth in huge conf
binations which threaten the commercial
liberties OF their fellow citizens and even
bid defiance to our laws"

Trustn mud swine.

Mr.. Bonaparte likencd the trusts to
pen Of pigs IN which the big, strong over
fed hog crowded the little ones away from
their feed and got far moro than its share
lie continued:
our big, strong greedy, over-prosperous
trusts are animals of the like order They
crowd their smaller and weaker fellows
from the feeding trough so that these dom
| get their fair share of our national pros
perity. The problem is how TO so fence
off the great beasts so as to give the little
/ ones a show.
The democrats propose to cut off the
supply Of swill, or, in other words, to de-
stroy our prosperity by unsettling all our
business relations. No doubt this process
would soon make the big hogs as thin as
| razorbacks, but without making the small
ones any better.
| Remember we don't complain of the
former because they are themselves big
| and fat. but because they make others
small and thin. The fatter the big pigs be-
! come the better for their owner and the
more money trusts make the better for the
! American people, provided The little pigs
/ get fat, too, or at all events as fat as they
can, and In the other that all dealers out
side of the trusts have a fair field and the
trusts have no favor.
"our president wants and has always
wanted a square deal for everyone whether
pig, lion or man, and under his leadership
the republican party has tried to put and
keep each of our trusts in its own proper
pen, where it can't crowd any of the little
fellows around it. To these ends he has
asked the aid Of congress and of the courts
to keep the corporate and individual wealth
of the country in due subsection to the law,
i
would only make poor men poorer but
to make rich men law-abding so that
poor men may become rich If they will
And the two houses of congress, as well
as the courts, have responded to his an-
peal" ,..

AndlrOns.

In regard to andirOns a writer In the
Connoisseur points out the curious fact
that the older specimens rarely come
In pairs, but are of different heights
and sizes. 1t was the custom In tue
middle ages, 1t seems, to make them
uneven so as to facilitate the moving
and raising OF the huge blocks employ
ed for firewood. He continues:
In the middle ages they were also
planned to hold a spit, and 1t was not
until the late sixteenth century that
they were much ornamented. Accord
ing to Violet le Due, since the most
remote ages, from Etruscan times
down to the Romans, such andirOns
were made of iron. Vasari speaks Of
andirOns made with "meravigliOsO ma
gisterO" for the captains of the Arte
della Seta, but have not found much
ornamentation upon them as early rs
be says. | have a theory Of my own,
which is contrary TO that Of Violet le
Due. In England andirOns are called
fire dogs, and In the Bargello there is
a splendid specimen made IN the form
Of crOuching hounds. | hold that the
andirons were in the first instance
made in the shape of animals lying at
rest, shaped Of clay or stone, and It
was much later that they were made
Of iron, when they often ended In ami
mails heads, most often In that Of
dogs.

happens-it is surrounded, enveloped

tells the strange story Of seeing lion
in the midst Of the antelopes, forced to
join the march. 1t Is supposed that the
lion had sprung too far for his prey
that those upon whom he alighted re-
coiled sufficiently to allow him to reach
the ground. and then the pressure
from both flanks and the rear prevent
ed him from escaping from his strange
captivity If the springbok travels In
such armies. how can those In the mid
die and rear find food? In this wise:
Those In the front ranks, after they
have eaten greedlly Of the pasture,
gradually fall out Of the ranks to rest,
while the hungry ones In the rear come
up. and so the columns are all the
while changing.

Lunching In Congress.

Visitors IN Washington nearly always
call upon the congressman from their
district. and the latter. ii OF hospitable
turn, frequently invites them to lunch
con In the congress restaurant, a
privilege highly priced by the average
visitor. Once a number Of women call
ed upon a wealthy congressman and
were duly invited TO have luncheon
with him, which they promptly and
gladly accepted, and when seated pro
ceelcd 10 order a luncheon substantial
enough for day laborers. When the
check for the luncheon was handed to
the congressman and he handed bill
for the amount to the waiter. one Of the
women remarked that she thought con-
greSsmcn lid not have 10 pay for their
meals there or she would not have or
Gered SO much. The congressman says
the narrator, explained that paying for
lunchcOnS was one of the pleasant priv
ileges which were still permitted to the
congressman by an indulgent govern
ment anl that it was one which they
especially enjoyed. "And VISITORS help

There lived IN the town OF Epping,

bis penuriousness. One winter the
schoolteacher boarded at his house, and

Uniforms to Scare the Enemy.

Red uniforms were first adopted by
the Emperor Valerlus Maximus in or
der that the Roman soldiers might not
be frightened by the sight of their own
blood. To this day the children of
England are tald that this Is the reason
why French troops wear red trousers,
and French children are taught the
same notion respecting the red coats
Of the British. The legionaries Of an
cient Rome wore the skins Of bears on
the field OF battle 10 make them look
fierce. For the same reason they put
figures Of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd
custom spring modern crests and ar
mortal bearings. The idea Of soaring
the enemy by such devices has been
perpetuated up to quite recent times.
Tall bearskin hats were originally
adopted to make them look taller by
the French cuirassiers, each of whom
carried handful Of grenades for scat
tering among the ranks Of their foe.

Animals and Fire.

Rattlesnakes won't run from fire, but
instead strike till the last at the flames
about them. This is true OF many AMI
mails. especially of horses, who Will
rush back into burning barn, appar'
emily blind with rage, striking with
their hoofs and switching their tails In
great anger.
The flight Of wild birds during MI
grating time against lighthouses is
more like the action Of the green bicy-
clist who rides against trolley car or
wagon as if hypnotized by 1t and in
spite Of his fears.
Gorlllas, II Is said, delight In fire,
drawing closer to the flames as the fire
dies down and at last wading In the
redhot ashes. apparently enchanted
and not feeling the burning Goals.
A little fire built beneath one Of the
pear shaped paper wasp nests that are
seen hanging from low branches will
kill every wasp In 1t, as the insects fly
at it one by one In their endeavors to
save their home and young.
Frogs leap through the flames Of a
little bonfire time and time again, as
If having the most pleasing Of fun. 1t
may be, though, that they think the
flckering flames to be some new sort
Of insect.

In New York literary club two nov
elists were discussing a novel of the
eighties and of which 10000 copies had
been sold.
1T was" said the older man, "the
best piece Of advertising l ever heard
Of, for it was advertising, not merit,
that made the book popular.
The author has q millionaire bache-
lor friend-call him MllllOns-and he
persuaded Millions to let him write
for a newspaper a paragraph to the eff
feet that the novels heroine had made
hit with him, and If he could find
anywhere girl resembling her he
would marry her.
This paragraph duly appeared. 1t
was copied all over TIE country. The
young women of America, on fire with
curiosity and hope, bought and read the
book in order to see II they stood any
chance with Millions"
The younger novelist took out his
notebook.
"By JOve," he muttered. "It wouldn't
hurt to resurrect that scheme"
