German is Sarcastic.


DR.. Max Moller writes in the
Berliner Tageblatt; In America,
the home of the gigantic false
hood, a great swindle once more
triumphs." Then he quotes the
report of the death (?) of wo-
man who remained dead only
one hour" and Their came back to
life and told what she had seen
in paradise.
Possibly" says DR.. Moller,
the physician who certified to
the death of this American wo-
man may be able to place some
knight of the pen in this transito-
ry death condition, and then a
logical, sensible report may be
received in this vale of tears from
the world Of the hereafter.

cent. 1t was 40 years ago, she
said, since she had her first

street cars, electric lights and

Caring For the Ram.

The Management that should be
given rams, young or old, before
and after service will depend
largely on the size of the flock.
If a strong, well-grown ram lamb
runs with a flock of eight or ten
sheep which have an ample pro-
vision Of variable pasture the
two may run together during the
season Of service and it will not
be necessary to feed grain. The
same will be true of a vigorous
shearling ram running with a
flock of, say, II to 20 ewes. But
should the number Of the ewes be
increased beyond the limit named,
then the management should be
approximately as stated below
The rams should be confined to
a stable or shed having at the
same time access to paddock.
They should be fed good hay aNl
some good green food such&s
rape or cabbage. They should
get in addition from one to two

In Darkness To The Very End.

The arrival of election day finds
the people still in the dark con-
corning the contributors to the
Republican campaign fund. Jeal-
ously the republican managers
have guarded the books. Stead
tasty they have refused to turn
on the light. All that is actually
known is that Mr.. Carnegie, of
the Steel Trust, gave $40, 900,
and thst Mrs. Russell Sage gave
$1,000. Nothing more have the
leaders allowed to leak out. Yet,
Mr.. Rockefeller is deeply inter-
ested in the success of the Re
publican ticket, he having said
so himself; how much did he
give?
How much did the Beef Trust
give?
How much did the Tobacco
Trust give?
How much did the Paper Trust
give?
How much did the Sugar Trust
give?
How much did the Coal Trust
give?
How much did the Steel Trust
give?
How much did the Oil Trust
give?
If the magnates gave individ-
ually, how much did they give?
If their Trusts gave, instead,
how much did they give? Their
desire for the election of Mr..
Taft has been made clear. How
much have they contributed to
accomplish that result? That is
what the public would like to
know. That is what the public
wished to knew before election
day, so it would not have to grope
in the dark and simply guess and
suspect.
-. Aahl so to-day the voters must
vote b ignorance of the sources
of the>Republican funds; in lgno-
rance of the influences that are
Of ,eork in the Republican par
ty.
The record of the Republican
party in this respect is in strik-
ing contrast to that of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Ridder, the
Democratic Treasurer, has kept
the Democratic pledge. He has
taken the public into his conf
dence. No dark-lantern methods
have been used by him. The peo-
pie have seen that the Democrat
ic funds have come from plain,
everyday citizens, who have no
axes to grind and no interests
to be protected.
I In 1904 the President denied
vehemently that he and the Re-
publican machine were frying
fat cut of corporations, but after
ward it was demonstrated that
at the moment he was denying
the fat-frying was being done,
and that he was even dispatch
ing E. H. Hartman on a collec-
ton trip. In 1908 there are
secrecy and denials; the people
well may wonder what subse-
quent developments will reveal
concerning the 1908 fund.- Louis

An Unique Birthday Party.


This pretty party was planned by a
number of the lads schoolmates and
proved a delightful success. Each one
brought a trifling gift and the boy had
to follow the instructions given by
these jingles. He was handed an en-
velope which contained this verse and
it started the festivities:

time they had seen the articles. The
next move was to the dining room, as
these orders directed:
Now turn into the dining room,
And hunt from floor to ceiling,
And find a little chocolate.

The other verses are given and the
whole scheme is so clear that | am

as a very enjoyable way in which to
