LOS HAPPY LOT.
Manson Den,ocrat1

TIE 1rdian of the plains had a much
better time tran the average civilized
man, for his furnace never smoked and
his coal bill for the year never bobbed
up about the time he began to need
coal for the first freezing weather of
the current year. He never had to
chase hardware man and plumber
all over two or three counties with a
lariat and rope and tie them before he
could get them to break loose from the
job of some neighboring brave long
enough to knock the SCOT off the roof
Of his furnace fire pot or dig birds
nest out of his chimney to convirce
him that the furnace was not built
wrong al the factory. His squaw never
came IN ont of the basement of his
-e7ee with her eyes full of SCOT and her
mouth full Of unkind words for the
man who bought the furnace in the
first place. the man who put the fur
mace in in the second place and the
man who failed to come around and
fix ii in the third and last place. so
there! Mr.. Indian didn't have to swal-
low all the big warns the coal man puts
up to the civilized man today about a
strike at the mines or about the rail-
ROAD compa setting the car out by
mistake. in order to excuse himself for
delay in receiving coal. When the In
dian needed any fuel his squaw got it
for him or he made it so hot for her
mat fuel was not necessary in that
immediate vicinity. The civilized man
may think he is strictly it when It
comes to comforts. but he Is mistaken
The Indian had the easiest time and it
cost him far less than his whole sum-
mer's wages to live thru the winter.

The NEW YORK FIGHT.

New Yorll's three cornered fight over
the election of mayor to succeed Nc
! Clellan is on. Judge Gaynor is the
Tammany candidate, Hearst as usual
an Independent candidate and a man of
good moral type, a business man of
repute and by description and report
competerts to become mayor of the
most important city on this continent
has been named by the republicans.
The latter candidate, Mr.. Barnard
appears TO combine with good practical
business acumen and aspiration TO put
into effect needed reforms in the worst
governed city in the world He is not
of the CRATER type. ii is not in evidence
! thar he seeks the inayoralty as a step
ping stone TO state or national office
but the mayoralty of city like New
ork is a stepping stone TO an able and
honest man. What he may be able to do
if he shall be elected is problematical
He has all crooked New York City. all
careless New York City, and an unclean
police force to fight attempted decency
of administration.
From an outside point of view his
chances for election look we'll. Hearst
and Gaynor must of necessity cut each
other throats. Who is for Hearst is
against Tammany and most Of those
who ares with Hearst would be With
Tammany We're they not supporting
him. II there is sufficient decency left
in New York Barnard should slip in
between Hearst and the tiger.

Christianity Gift Of Orient.

IAN great religions have been born
in the east, and they must be inter-
preted in the air of their birthplace.
Christianity has suffered very much
from the chill and superlative activity,
the ovecworking passion for exploit
in the western mind. Christianity Is
gift to the occident from the orient,
and we will never understand some uf
its finest messages until they are once
more seen and heard in the atmosphere
out of which it came
The mere forms of republican inst:-
buttons, the gigantic experiments of
democracy, will fail as surely and pass
away as enchanting dreams if we me-
elect to put into legislation, into our
commerce, into our education and into
our temples of politics and religion the
sovereign idea that God is the father of
ALL and that all men are brethren; "a

economy intrenched strongly, and too

TWO VICTORIES FOR AMERICA.
Both Aviation and Aeronautie Contests
Will Be Held Here Next Year.

In winning the fourth International
balloon race, after the victory of Glenn
81. Curtiss at Rheims, Edgar w. Mix
brings the cup to this country for the
second time and gives to the United
States next year both the aviation and
aeronautic contests.

test, which started from Paris Sept

Seek Pure Water Supply.

The recent cholera epidemic at st,
Petersburg has turned the attention Of
the municipality to considering the
question of supplying the city with
water from Lake Ladoga, one of the
finest freshwater lakes in the world.
The water ia pure and the supply by
gravitation, and the plan, If carried
out, will prove Of great value to the
city. This lake is situated about nine
miles from st. Petersburg and is the

Niaht In the Aosnital.

Thru western easements sunken eyes
behold
The suns farewell.
The shades OF darkness lower. fold on
Afar the tolling of an evening bell
Strikes like a knell.
Dim night-lamps glimmer now thru
dusk-filled rooms
Where grief has lain.
Mid empty corridors unechoing glooms
The demons of despair hold silent
reign
Night trysts with pain.
At times the ether-laden air is stirred
BY muffled moan:
But torture that lies deeper is unheard,
For so the stouter soul, voiced by no
groan,
Fights on alone.
Ghost-like the white-robed nurses min
lister
To one bereft
OF hope, waiting the summons sinister
With quiet eyes and feeble, cropping
breath
when-da9n brings death.
