For twelve months before they were
married she never came down town
without seeing him If she walked
one block he always managed to be
waiting for her on the corner, smiling
like an oyster on the half shell. If
she carried a package as weighty as
spool of thread, he took it from her by
force, for fear she would strain her.

ed to call on her every night and
would have done SO if her father had
been dead. He just simply existed,
and that was all, when out of her pres
ence He was so considerate of her
feelings he never went near her after
taking drink until he had thoroughly
overhauled and deodorized his breath.
Twelve months after that they mar
ried, and if he saw her down town,
he darted in screen door to keep her
from seeing him. He saw her pass
by with big, heavy bundle, but he
never went out and offered to carry
the load. Perhaps II was because he
was already loaded himself. He us

WATCHWORD FOR

(By Ex-senator Carmack, in Harper's

To regain power the democratic
party must be courageous and demo
critic. 1t must be brave enough to
say what it thinks, and brave enough
not to say what it does not think.
Boldness in the wrong is stronger
than timidity in the right. The party
that has the audacity of its wicked

has not even the courage of its convic.

The time Is ripe for a renascence Of
the Constitution, and therefore for a
campaign that will present the funda-
mentals of democratic faith.
A strict-or let us rather say an
honest and faithful-construction Of

How Whales Are Killed.

The feature attracting the casual OBJ
server is the vessels harpoon gun, sit
uated forward of everything, from
which the formidable harpoon is fired
into the whale. The gun looks like a
small cannon, and about pound of
powder is used to discharge the har-
poon, which is rammed home in the
same manner as a shot would be and
tied from the outside end with a small
cord, this breaking, of course, when the
gun is fired. The harpoon is a very
heavy missile, weighing several hum
dred pounds, which necessitates its be
ing fred only at pretty close range.
The lance head pierces the whale and
soon afterward explodes bomb con-
tained in it, while still farther back on
the shaft are barbs, which expand on
entering the whale, making it next to
impossible for the harpoon to be drawn
out again Each harpoon after being
fred has to be Strengthened by black
smith in order to again fit the gun

In circumference is attached to the har-
poon about eighteen inches from the

and strength and is manufactured sole

fathoms Of this line are coiled on a
