Up Against 1t.

How many platform speakers, at the
close of an evening have not had
some fond parent tell them of little
Jane, age 6, or little Ralph, age Ia
real prodigy, who could recite, sing or
play distinctively? Few who travel
from course to course have escaped
these future hopes of overzealous par
ents and friends. Opie Reed has met
with his share, says Harper's Week
ly.
At the close of one of Mr.. Reed
evenings a proud father and mother
introduced themselves to the novelist
and asked If he could not hear their
little prodigy Amy.
OF course, Mr.. Reed would be very
glad to hear the future star, but
was sorry to say that he had to
catch the early morning train.
The father-But the train doesn't
go until 1880.
Mr.. Reed-Yes, | know, but | am
compelled to take the early morning
freight.
The fafher-That is a fast freight
and doesn't stop here.
Mr. Reid-Well, it will stop for me.

Tan Stockings Scarce.

Last spring the news that rent won
ems souls and drove them well-nigh
frantice with unpleasant apprehension
was a bulletin from the shops that
long, black silk gloves were almost
impossible to procure, and that those
which were obtainable were priced
away above the normal quotations
of the market.
This spring the news that greets
feminity is more than shocking. The
bulletin that makes the cheeks pale
and the eyes start from their sockets
to-day is that tan stockings are al
most impossible to secure.
Black stockings there are a plenty,
and green stockings and red stock
ings, but the factories have been UNI
able to keep up with the demand for
tan ones, and so she of the new tan
footwear must perforce place it upon
her boot trees and there let it stay
until her name is reached on the
waiting list of one of the shops and
the half dozen or more pairs she has
ordered are sent to her.

of New York. Some Kentucky Repub-
licans would be rejoiced to see that
grand and gallant son of the South,
Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, given the
Republican nomination. 1t will be a
year from June before the Presiden-
tial nomination is made. Many things
occur in year. In that time may
come events that shall perhaps, con-
centrate public opinion in Kentucky
on some one Republican nominee. 1t
may be then advisable to indorse some
particular candidacy. Now, it were in
the last degree unwise aud unjustifi-
able. Our first task is to carry the
State. That done,we can carry it very
easily into the Republican column for
the Presidency.-Louisville Herald.

His Dear Old Mother.

"My dear old mother, who is now
eighty-three years old, thrives on
Electric Bitters," writes w. B. Brun-
son, of Dublin, Ga. "She has taken
them for about two years and enjoys
an excellent appetite, feels strong and
sleeps WELL" That's the way Elec-
trio Bitters affect the aged, and the
same happy results follow in ali cases
of female weakness and general de-
bility. Weak, puny children too, are
greatly strengthened by them. Guar

INDIAN RELICS FOUND
in LA RUE COUNTY
On Red Mems Battlefield Are
Many TrauceS of Crude War
fare Waged by SavegeS.

Mr.. T. w. Davenport brought to the
Herald office the other day some
genuine relics of the days when this
country was the home, or the hunting
ground, of the noble Red man.
The relics consist of stone tomma-
hawk and six or seven flint arrow
heads which the Indians used in their
warfare against the whites. Mr.. Da-
venport found these on his farm, hav-
ing plowed them up. He says that all
the indications point to the fact that
the spot where they were found was
the grave of an Indian and that the
tommahawk and arrow heads had
been buried with the Indian, as was
the custom with many of the tribes
that infested Kentucky on their hun
ting expeditions.
Years ago it was a common occur
renee to unearth a number of these
old Indian warfare relics, but in late
years they are seldom found. On the
farm of the Messrs. LaRue, north of
town, there has been hundreds of then
found, the place being a knoll, on
which was situated a fort, and many
are the battles that took place there
between the Indians and the whites.
There are other points in the coun-
ty where they were numerous, but
they were generally found at spots
where battles had occurred or where
Indians had been buried.-LaRue

Bears the HThs Kind You Have Always Bought
Signature ., &HAZzZw
SHOULD women BE
ALLOWED To WORK?
'TiS a Question of Retaining Her
Own Beauty or of Guilt
waiting Mans.

Now, whatever the male attitude to-
ward work may be-and nobody ever
yet met a man who did not profess to
loathe his profession-there certainly
never was a woman who preferred
work to amusement. Nor do l be-
lieve there was ever a woman who
was physically the better for work.
1t is, indeed, a well-known fact that
work not only tends to lessen femin-
inc vitality but is absolutely fatal to
her appearance. In all countries where
the women work and the men do moth
ing, the former are VIGOROUSLY ugly
the latter astonishingly handsome.
Now, anything which obviously tend
to lessen a woman's charm can hard
ly be said to conduce to her having a
good time. Certainly,in the days when
even a lady of quality had to work
far harder than the modern maid of
all work, she was neither so beauti-
full nor so powerful as the average
middle-class woman of to-day in Amer
lea. The life of the conscientious
housewife of the middles ages, who
was obliged to spin and to weave, TO
make the candles and brew the beer,
was a veritable serfdom out of which
the Renaissance woman arose TO cleo
trify the world with a new beauty and
new charm born of emancipation.
Nothing, indeed, is more detrimen-
tai to feminine charm than bondage
of any sort, and since a woman with
out charm of some kind might just as
we'll have never been born, for all the
enjoyment she will ever get out of
life, the one essential thing is for her
to be free. OF course, the really beau
tiful woman in every civilized country
to-day is more or less free. If in ad-
dition to beauty she possesses brains,
she can not only defy the conventions
and be law unto herself, but she can
impose her will upon man. Unfortu-
nately such combination of beauty and
brains is rare. Every now and again
such visions flash like a meteor
across the sky. but the brilliance of
their success only serves to intensity
the blackness which heralds their ar
rival and follows their departure.

TAX DODGERS Refuge
A SIMPLE SHANTY
Curious Maine Camp Borders on
Two Counties And Cant
Be Reached.

Ten miles due east from Bangor, Me-,
is little board shanty, which is a
refuge for tax dodgers. Almost at the
door of the shanty is a little granite
monument.
When a tax dodger is on the out
look for officers he sits on this monu-
ment with his back toward Bangor,
and while his face is toward New
Brunswick, and while in this position
he can have his coat tails in Penob-
scot county and his feet in Hancock
county, and by taking tobacco from
one pocket in the town of Bucksport
and a knife from the opposite pocket
in the town of Holden he may fill and
light his pipe and blow his smoke in
to the town Dedham.
At the same time, according to the
Bangor correspondent of the Boston
Herald, he can defy the officers.
On an extreme corner of the old
"Fowles lot" in the town of Holden
is a plain board camp with six hunks,
which in past times has sheltered
strange inmates.
In a wide sense the camp has been
employed by a certain class of debt
ors who desired to avoid paying their
legal dues.
AS an illustration of how the camp
has been made available, the case is
cited where men from Prince Edward
island, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia, coming TO Maine to find EN-
ployment in the river sawmills near
Bangor, and wishing to be on hand
for business as soon as the ice went
out of the river, have gone to this
camp and waited in unknown obscur-
ity until After April l for the sole
purpose of evading payment of poll
taxes, which in most Maine towns
amount to SO a year.
If the new corners linger at home un-
til after April /, the time when the
annual tax assessment is made, they
can not be taxed under the law.
Should the mills chance to start up
any time in March the men give their
names and pay the tax without COM
plant, for the sake of the extra mon
ey they can earn. But when there is
no work TO be had for week or
more, it is cheaper to tell an untruth
and remain in camp until danger is
past, than it is to give out So while
paying regular board and lying in
| idleness.
The tract of land upon which the
camp stands was bought years ago,
and a camp was built upon the ex-
IRENE southeast border of the lot.
which extends a few rods beyond the
Holden line into the town of Dedham
and into Hancock county.
More than a century ago the old
surveyors placed a small granite mon
ument on this lot to mark the divid-
ing lines, not only between the towns
of Holden, Bucksport and Dedham, but
between Penobscot and Hancock coun-
| ties.
When the camp was built it was
placed in Dedham and Hancock coun-
ty, but being on clayey hillside, the
the building has slipped down hill in
the spring thaws, and is now on de-
batable territory, where no sheriff or
town or city constable may venture
with safety until after a new and ex-
pensive survey has been made and
the monument placed back in its old
| position.

Rest is the great restorer. We tire

THE UMATILLA IDEA.

People talk about the Iowa idea,"
the Roosevelt idea and other ideas
which stand for unique or pos tive
principles.
But there is really what may be
termed the "Umatilla idea Its
counterpart is found nowhere else,
and therefore it has right to dis
tinct classification.
This idea is expressed in the large
number of large farmers living in the
towns and directing their farm work
from town. In other places many
farmers maintain two homes, one in
the country and one in town, but in
Umatilla county the country home is
not maintained. The farm is actually
conducted simply as a big enterprise
and has no home features. 1t simply
consists of a given number of acres
or sections of land which is supposed
to produce a given crop every year.
The home features of farm life are
to a large extent, entirely absent on a
large portion of the richest wheat
growing area of the county. The
farmer lives in town, perhaps holds
office there, is a resident and citizen
OF the town and makes no pretension
of citizenship in the community in
which his land is located.
This builds up the towns and de-
populates the farming districts. For
miles in the wheat belt of the north
part of the county there is not soli-
tary home in the wilderness of wheat.
The school houses are unused largely
and the former residences are in
ruins or have been moved away.
This is an excellent principle for the
towns. 1t builds up the town schools
brings the farmers family into the pft
of the town, adds to society, churches
lodges-every feature of town life, bu
It saps the substance from countr!
life. 1t makes of the richest whea
district in the world an absolute des
ert as far as home life is concerned.

LA FOLLETTE's MISSION.

Those who expected to hear Senator
La Toilette "roast" Senator Fulton of
Oregon, in his lecture last night were
sorely disappointed.
Senator La Toilette simply read the
public record, which belongs to the
people and of which no public man
should be ashamed.
But to man who has done wrong,
no more telling blow can be struck
than to tell the plain truth about
him. So for this reason the friends
OF Senator Fulton denounce Senator
La Toilette as a self-seeking dema-
gogue, engaged in damaging the char
acter of his colleagues by travelling
over the country talking about them.
The people have right to know
the truth about their public servants.
If there is anything crooked, hidden
or questionable the people should be
fully informed. That is the only way
in which to kill off the nasty brood.
of corruptionists which springs up like
toadstools in the shadows of legisla-
tive halls.
The country needed the railroad rate
bill which the railroads were fighting
so bitterly in congress. The consumer
has been crushed under the weight of
unjust rates, discrimination and abuses
and Senator La Follette's amendments
which sought to give the interstate
commerce commission the power it
needed to make its orders effective,
were plainly in the interests of the
pople and if Senator Fulton voted
with the railroad crowd against the
interests of the people, he should at
least be brave and manly enough to
face the music" without complain
ing when Senator La Toilette simply
reads the public record showing his
votes.
! The La Toilette lectures will have
more vital influence in cleansing
( congress than any other agency which
has been set in motion. 1t will oper
the eyes of the people and will make
public officials think seriously before
alying themselves with the trusts anC
corruptionists.
The country needs a thousand Ii

corruption should be told in ever.
hamlet. The public conscience mus
be quckened. Cleaner men are de
manded. More fearless men are need
ed. All this is required to keep tn
government clean and upright is 70
some one like La Toilette to tell IT,
plain truth to the people.

Senator Gearin of oregon, did not
escape the dragnet in the La Toilette
lecture last night. 1t was shown upon
the vote on the La Toilette amend
ment to abolish the discriminating
freight charges from terminal points
back to the interior, that Senator
Gearin voted to table the amendment,
his apparent interest being that the
passage of the amendment would cut
off the monopoly of the Portland and
Puget sound jobbing houses which
supply the interior retail trade. This
was the only one of the La Toilette
amendments which Gearin voted
against, however. Both Senators An
keney and Piles of washington voted
against all of the La Toilette amend
ments and the people of Walla Walla
will have the pleasure of hearing the
names of both their senators on the
wrong side of the roll call tonight.
