Democratic Party Must ..Brace Up

Prom the s.. Louis Repuhlic-
Ever since McKinley's first Inauguration
the Democratic party has been enfeebled
by Republican dep-edations upon its prin-
ciples and policies. Plank By plank the
Republicans have robbed Democratic plat
forms. Bolt by bolt they have stolen
Democratic thunder. For a dozen years
the Democrats have not had a chance 10
do anything but sit in the saddle and
whip up the Republican party TO do their
work. But the country has found oct
that the Republican party has not been
doing Democratic work honestly. The
time IS at hand for the Democratic party
to brace up and prepare TO do its Own
work

PEOPLE AND THINGS
-Four Weddings with One Gown.

II is indeed a fortunate father who IS
congrstulating himself IN Atehison. Kans-.

PERHAPS has no parallel He has sent
four daughters 10 the altar Of matrimony
and had 20 provide but one dress for all
OF the ceremonies. This was because the
weddings occurred one after another. al
periods neither too adjacent nor too
widely separated. One may conjecture
that this well-used matrimonial confec-
tion required a little alteration here and
there for each OF The brides But second
thought reveals here an admirable CO.
operation between the daughters and the
father. II seems that each bride in turn
was willing 10 leave her marriage gown
at the parental home for the use in turn
Of a younger sister. Such economic de
vOtOn may be rare. but surely il was un-
selfish and commendable; provided. OF
course, that the economy has the reason
Of need. But the question remains.
Which sister finally and fairly owns that
dress?
