DAVID BISPHAM.

David Bispham will appear in a song recital at the Buckingham Mu- sic hall on Thursday, October 8. His appearance here last year still lin- gers in the memory of all who heard him, and the mere announcement that he will again sing Danny Deever" insures the presence of all who were fortunate enough to be present when he last sang this song in Waterbury. Not little of the pleasure of hear ing MT Bispham sing is due to the fine accompanying of MT Smith, and the management feels certain that the public will be pleased to hear that MT Smith has consented to play at least one piano solo. The requests were so numerous for one number by Mir Smith that he finally consented to the pleading of St Johns Musical as- sociation, and has broken over his us- ual. rule not to do solo work With such treat to look forward to as MT Bispham always gives, 1t is felt cer- tain Buckingham hall will be packed on Thursday, October 8. The seats are now on sale at the music stores and also by all the members of St Johns Musical association. & q

In De- troit, Michigan, parade of 5000 people marched between lines of cheering spectators to the armory where 5000 people were assembled to hear Debs.

At Ann Ar Dor, Michigan, 200 students of the university joined the crowd. The editor of the Daily Tribune of Moni. towoc, Wis, says: T have been on board the Red Special from Ap- pleton to this town. We have just left at Appleton crowd of thou sand cheering, shouting, people, and a number of big paper mill owners, who stood out in the dusty street and actually applauded the socialist candidate for president. I am won. dering what to think of all this and don't know yet. All I know is bundled up and fired out in that one word Great At Appleton an in- dustrial town, the high school prin- cipal dismissed the school to allow the children to hear Debs. All tho way it was the intelligent people the ones who are learning to know that their brains were intended for their own use-who are coming out to hear Debs."
 In Connecticut two big opera house meetings will be arranged for Debs, one in New Haven on the Sth. one in Bridgeport-date to be an- nounced soon. At other places the train will stop for brief talks at the railroad station.

wisdom Is . million times more to be

hope of making good.
Much will be gained II the people
who have money to invest will confer
with some fellowcitizen whom they re-

There will then be much more money
available to equip factories, to improve
railway service, to provide for public
improvements and to push forward
other worthy kinds Of enterprise.
Likewise there will be fewer empty

"What kind of a certificate do you
wish?" asked the disappointed appli-
cant.
"We must have certificate stating
that you were alive on September 15, !"
said the official with great firmness.

Live Stock Market,

Denver Union Stock Yards, July 13.
Trade here last week was somewhat
dull on account of unfavorable advices
from the eastern markets and prices
closed 15 to 25 cents lower on the gem
eral run of stuff. Good Middle Park
steers sold early in the week at $5.65
but later pretty good grade of North
Park steers went at $5.25 flat and $5.45
freight paid to the river, with some
good South Parkers ut $3.50 and prices
ranging all the way from this down to
S4.10 on some just fair Arizonas.
Choice North Park cows sold at $4 SO
early in the week but later most of the
fair to good ones went at 1885 to $3.50,
a bunch of good Oregan cows bringing
the latter price. Today's receipts 1900
head. Good cattle stead; others lower
in sympathy with eastern decline.
Hog supply was 1900 head last week,
which is the smallest run here since
the week of October IL, 1905. The
demand is much better than supply
and liberal shipments wanted. Prices
are sharply higher, bulk quotable today
at $3.50 to S6.60.-W. N. Fulton.

Preserving Strawberries Without
Cooking.

Take firm berries and weigh; allow
one quarter of pound Of sugar for
each pound of fruit, place sugar and
berries in earthenware dishes and
stand in q cool spot overnight. Drain
off the juice without breaking the ber-
ries and weigh the juice, deducting
this weight from the fruit. Weigh
out as much sugar as the fruit weighs
without the juice, deducting the
quarter pound Of sugar already used.
Place the berries and sugar in layers
in large necked jars, which must be
corked and wired very tight. Place
these in vessel of cold water and let
come to a boil. When this point is
reached, remove and make sure the
bottles are sealed alright. 1t is
necessary to examine these bottles
daily for six weeks, carefully turning
them to keep the fruit from molding.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

Red Currant Jelly: Obtain currants
that are not quite ripe aud that are
perfectly dry. Stem and scald over
boiling water in double boiler, then
allow the currants to remain over a
moderate fire for an hour. Pour in a
jelly bag and let drip overnight, with
out crushing. Measure and then put
the juice in preserving-kettle and let
boil ten minutes; skim, and when
again at the boiling point stir In the
sugar, allowing for each full pint of
juice one and quarter pounds Of sug-
ar, heated. This does not require
more than five minutes' boiling, and
then allow to stand In the sun several
days. White currants may be substi-
tuted for the red.

THE Banker,

The banker Of the country town is
something of walking encyclopedia
of business. The Atlantic Monthly
describes the functions Of one of this
type as pictured by a contributor liv-
ing in central Kansas. Kansas is a
state Of towns and villages. The civil
lization of the central West beyond
the Mississippi has long been character
lied by this feature. But the bank is
OF later development. 1t is a child
OF prosperity that has come to stay.
Gradually 1t is becoming the one insti-
tuition Of the town in which the busi-
ness life Of these rural commonwealths
finds its center. The country banker
is the Clearing House for investment

National Ideas.

Is THE Declaration of Indepen-
dence outgrownl So at least it
would appear from many indica-
tions. It Is now seldom read on
the Fourth of July. as was once
the all but universal custom. 1t is
apparently much less frequently
published. and one may look for it
Ia vain through many private
library, and many a volume Of
American history. Frequently a
patronizing reference is made in
current articles and addresses to its
more familiar phrases, and it is
slightly referred to in conversation,
as when a school principal recently
declared to the writer that one Of
its statements, badly misquoted by
the way, makes US smile in these
days"
Now, it is fair question wheth-
er this state of things does not arise
as much from thought lessness as
from deliberate discrediting of the
ideals which the Declaration ex-
presses. As an economic treatise,
or as lawyers brief, the introduc-
tory paragraphs Of our famous Bill
Of Rights may be open to criticism;
but as an expression of ideal prin-
eipals, set before the people to be
more and more fully realized as
circumstances may make it possi-
Bile, these same statements become
most admirable.
1t is in this light that the Declar-
alton ought to be viewed, and so
constantly referred to and its ideals
cherished; for it is all too easy for
q nation to lose its idealism.
Lincoln, who was great lover Of
the Declaration of Independ ence,
spoke of it as "setting a standard
for free society which should be
familiar to all, and revered by all;
constantly looked tp, CONSTANTLY
labored for, and constantly spread
ing and deepening its influence
and augmenting the happiness and
value Of life to all people Of all
coiors everywhere. If this be
true, how carefully should the facts
Be kept before the people and the
spirit expressed by Lincoln be
cultivated in the rising generation!
There is this about such an ex-
preston Of our national ideals
which appeals with special force to
those who wish to think of this as.
still q Christian nation. They are
glad to be reminded that the men
who promulgated the Declaration
of Independence were, for the most
part, men of deep-lying Christian
principals, and to believe that when
these men set their hands to this
historic document it was with a.
purpose consistent with the loftiest
Christian idealism. Americans in
amply sufficient number will still
be found loving to dream of a per
feet democracy, with essential
equality for all men under the
Stars and Stripes. They feel that
though there may be many practi-
cal difficulties to overcome, the
dear hope of American freedom,
for which so much has been suffered,
is still worthy to be cherished.
They wish to believe that in ''the
land Of the free" the inherent worth
of every individual will ultimately
be recognized, and no man counted
subject to any other, except in the
sense that each is subject to the
good of all.-Christian Herald.
