Bath Not Popular In Spain.

In the quaint Spanish city Of Tole-
do the traveller is shown upon the
banks of the Tagus below Wamba's
palace the alcoye in which La Cava
was wont to battle until seen by Bod
erick, and her fate was none the hap
piest at the hands of the last Of the
Cloths. To this day she is referred to
as an awful example Of the fate that
awaits those who dare to battle in
water too often. The Spanish woman
is none too liberal in her use Of water
for personal cleanliness, preferring oil
or some other medium.

DOINGS THURSDAY
Some Stuffed Geese

Stuffed geese are being shipped out
of Watertown now upon orders and
the shipments will continue until all
the orders received by the local firms
are filled. The geese this year are
exceptionally good, it is said, although
the weight of other years for individ
ual geese has not been surpassed. Sc
fas as known the heaviest goose re
ceived here so far was marketed to-
day by John Schumacher of the town
of Watertown. 1t weighed BIZ pounds
Last year one goose balanced the
scales at "a pounds and several years
ago a goose was sold here which
weighed Just SO pounds, the heaviest
one ever marketed in Watertown so
far as known.
At the Watertown Grain company
office today one shipment of twenty
eight geese averaged twenty-five
pounds, which is pretty good show
ing for fat poultry. The liver of one
goose received by this firm recently,
three pounds, but this is not
the largest. Several years ago we
saw two goose liyers which weighed
exactly seven pounds. One weighed
81 pounds and the other 81 pounds,
about the weight of an ordinary
chicken.

AMERICAS GREATEST WEEKLY
The TOLEDO BLADE
TOLEDO, OHIO
The Best Known Newspaper in
the United States
CIR CULATION 100000
Popular in Every State

In many respects the Toledo Blade
is the most remarkable weekly news
paper published in the United States.
1t is the only newspaper especially ed
tied for National circulation. 1t has had
the largest circulation for more years
than any newspaper printed in America.
Furthermore, it is the cheapest news
paper in the world, as will be explained
to any person who will write us for
terms. The News of the World so ar
ranged that busy people can more easily
apprehend, than by reading cumbersome
columns of dailies. All current topics
made plain in each issue by special edi-
torial matter written from inception
down to date. The only paper published
especially for people who do or do not
read daily newspapers. and yet thirst for
plain facts. That this kind of news
paper is popular, is proven by the fact
that the Weekly Blade now has over 2UO,-
600 yearly subscribers, and is circulated
in all parts of the United Ttates. In adj
dition to the news, the Blade publishes
short and serial stories, and many de-
partments of matter suited TO every
member of the family. Only 81 year.

Who win the Democrats Name :

Editor The Washington Herald.
There is much being said now as TO
the most available man TOR the Demo
cratic nomination for President. Although
Bryan has tried il twice. yet. they say,
let him try it again. II is necessary TO
get back 100000 votes to win. They have
got to come. ! do not believe that Bryan
IS as strong with the common people as
he once was but he is just about as
strong as ever with the Democratic poll
ticians
We know but one man who can bring
TO the Democrats the necessary 2o0,o0o
votes. and that Is Thomas f, Watson, of
Georgia If the Democrats at Denver VIII
nominate him and stick 70 him he Will
do the rest. for he alone can unite every
reform element Of people al over the
United States.
But you say Watson IS not a Democrat
We answer, yes, he is a straight up and
down, old-fashioned Jefersonian Demo-
cTat He did not leaeve the Democrats.
but the Democrats wandered off after
strange gods. and left him. He is still
solid bedrock. Jeffersonian Democrat. If
Democrats viii put him at the head OF
their ticket and go TO work he will sweep
the country and be elected

What Is a Democrat !

Editor The Washington Herald:
The civil war closed in 1865. IN 1876
the Democratic party elected Tilden
and Hendricks President and Vice Pres
ident
This was done too by the Democrats
standing against Republican policies
and principles. The war had left not d
ing but bitterness and passion. the rule
of the hour. well remember thai a
Democrat who had served as a soldier
and remained a Democrat was looked
upon with slight glances Of suspicion
The great leaders were not found
notifying the country that they wsaId
lead the grand old party to the support
of the Republican party, as is now pro
posed by the Democratic leader Of the
House
If Roosevelt is right. Bryan is eqylal-
~ so The Democratic party does not
believe that Roosevelt is right; then
why should its leader in the House
seek to lead his party into the Ret1ub-
liean camp?
No party can win with such command
ers. II the Democratic party is ever
TO win any political campaigns il ever
viii. never can be done by Democratic
leaders trying TO lead Democrats to
support Republican policies. II was
tried when the Democracy undertook
to elect Horace Greeley.

tor The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald:
Among many uncommonly able and IN
teresting articles in The Washington Her
aid last Sunday was a correctly con
sidered and admirably written biographi-
cal sketch OF Senator Allison, Of Iowa.
who is, and has been during a full period
Of the last thirty-odd years. one of the
most enlightened and exemplary states
men prominent in the national chambers
Of any American republic.
Having occupied his highly honorable
position so long and so efficiently IN the
Senate of the United States, it would,
as IL seems to me- be rather unwise and
short-sighted on the part of his fellow
citizens in the legislature at Des MOines
10 supersede him at this time, or at any
other time. if ne himself really desires
10 remain in the Upper House of Con-
gress; and, going a step further, l will
here venture the suggestion that in my
Judgment, it would be only right and
proper looking 10 a just and prudent pro
lOngation OF the terms of Office for our
ADLER and worthier officials, OF whatever
political party. TO cause such modidca-
zion Of the law. as, for instance. by a
new amendment OF our Federal COnstitu-
ton. as would secure lifelong service
10 every Senator who succeeds in accept
ably rendering so much as thirty years Of
continuous and excellent labor, and the
same or a similar promotion and perma-
hence Of position should likewise be
granted TO every Representative in Con-
gress after he shall have received from
his constituents corresponding recogni-
ton of his manifest fitness and fidelity,
Nor is il at all probable that anything
in the least deleteTiOus TO our general in
terests. but, on the contrary, intelligent
and patriotic and progressive proceedings
plainly pTOmOtive Of the public welfare.
would soon follow an OppOTtune increase
OF the salaries OF all our Senators and
Representatives in Congress up TO the
sum OF $4,000 each annually; yet, with
this absolute condition, that no one OF
those learned and distinguished person
ages (the pre-eminent opponents Of the
most potent and brilliant intellectually
OF our nation) should ever again engage
himself in private business, or bestow
his serious attention on any matter not
strictly legislative or governmental, af-
feeting both domestic and foreign affairs:
and, also with the still further prOvis0
that their delibeTative and working ses-
sions should be so heightened as 20 re-
Quire their effective and salutary pres
ence within our National Capitol not less
than ten months every year-fTOm Janu-

OF one month IN the winter and sutti-
Client outdoor pastime Of one month in
