Another Boss Out.

That there is n startling difference
between the temper of the, rising gen
Grafton and that of the youth whose
young ideas shot up according to the
teachings of Mrs. Hannah More and
Sanford and Merton has recently been
proved by a little 7-year-old girl who
was laboriously spelling her way
through a reading lesson.
always speak the TRUTH she said,
sand obey your parents.
BE gentle and quiet. Never slam
the door and shout and scream about
tho house.
AT the table eat slowly, not in a
greedy manner like Il pig"
Suddenly the little girl shut the book
with a p%ortentous bang and announced
with firmness and decision:
I'm not going to let any old Third
Reader boss me like that."-Bochester
Herald.

"The above paragraph reiterates the
old, trite and WORKOUT statement
about the tariff being the father OF
the trusts. 1t is the offspring of either
ignorance or Of a mere malicious and
selfish purpose. Acheson is a consti-
tutional kicker and a grumbler by ma
ture; and the breadth OF his states
manship is limited and circumscribed
wholly by his political animosities and
hatred, and by personal political am
billions.
After his overwhelming defeat by
the people of his OWL county a year
ago, and emphatic rundown when he
again aspired to be a candidate for
Congress, we would think that good
sense and good judgment would sug'
gest to him that inconspicuosity for a
time at least would best become his
station in life.
But 1t seems evident that there Is
a concert of effort amongst the small
calibre statesmen whose idea of tariff
legislation is that the question Is Of
a wholly sporadic or local nature, and
who use the method of delay and OBJ
struction in the legislation purely for
the purpose of embarrassing the lead.
ership of the Republican party. They
have an ambition to become its lead.
ers and control it simply for self'ag-
grandizement, and to crafty their per-
sonal political ambitions.
"They realize that this they cannot
attain to by virtue of their ability or
merit as public men and statesmen,
but fondly hope If they can bring
about a depression of business, cause
the hum of industry to cease, increase
the numbers OF idle w-age-earners, and
then lay the cause thereof upon the
recognized leaders of the Republican
party and cast the odium upon them,
then it will afford a favorable oppor-
tunity for these Lilliputian statesmen
to open their windbags and howl cal
amity and offer the country some
patent panacea of their own concoc-
ton with which to cure all the polit-
ical ills of the body polite.
"Cummins would. say, Elect me
President Dolliver would say, Elect
me President La Toilette would say,
Elect me President Acheson would
say, Elect me United States Senator
and then with these s~elf-lauditory
statesmen, all thus enthroned, every
thing in the country would be happy
and prosperous.
I'VE say, get to work on the tariff as
a broad, national question; that eff
fects the country and its prosperity
as a whole, and not fiddle with 1t as
mere local or State issue"

Remarkable Cave discovered.

Two gold p~rospectors recently dis
covered in the Santa Susanna Noun
tains. about fifty miles from Los
Angeles, Cal, the largest and most
remarkable cave In Western AM

OF gold they found an opening which
they entered. The opening led to a
great cavern, consisting Of many pas
sGges, some Of them wide, but most
OF them narrow and lofty. The pas
sages lead into great halls, some an
acre In extent, studded with stalag-
mites and stalactites In some cases
so thickly that 1t is difficult to get
through. The walls of one OF these

A Valuable Milestone.

A well known novelist was touring
through Lancashire In order to learn
something Of the lives Of the inhabit-
ants when he came upon an old man
breaking stones on the roadside and,
thinking he might gain some knowl-
edge from him, addressed him thus:
"How far is 1t to Fleetwood, my
man?"
you'll see a milestone a bit farther
on" was the gruff reply.
whats the use, If | can't read?"
said the novelist, eager to draw the old
man into a conversation.
"Then it'll just suit you, for there's
nowt on it," said the old fellow.-Lon-
don Graphic.

Power OF LightS.

A comparison has recently been
made of the power of the lights in
French lighthouses at various periods
IT. the last 80 years. In 1874, when
only oil lights were used, the high
est power was equal to $4,000 cand-
les. In 1882, when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
to a maximum of 10000 candles.
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until at present the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 5000, 900 candles.

What a Political Speaker Endurs..

The political stump speaker has
many amusing and many unpleasant
expe~ fences. A party of us went down
into the heart of the east side of New
York one night with n politician some
what handicapped by his wealth and
social position, who nevertheless elect
ed to 90 to the doubtful district per-
sonally. At n street corner a bunting
draped cart awaited him, and, climbing
to the tailboard of this, he began tell
ing the ragged audience In well round
ed periods how they should vote and
why. A few jeers began TO crop from
the tolerance Of the crowd. The jeers
gained volume. He was told to "Aw,
shet up!' "Close your head!" "Say,
give us a drink; your talk makes us
t'irsty." Somewhat disconnected, but
still determined to finish his speech,
he was continuing when something
hurtled past his head and splashed
gently on the floor of the cart. An
other something and another followed,
and every n was lodging decadent
tomatoes until, it becoming impossible
to hear a shout above the jeers and
laughter of the voters, the horses were
started forward out of the soft, red
bombardment and the district left to
its own political slns.-John Il. Win
ehell In Metropolitan Magazine.

Lincoln on Law Observance.

There is even now something Of
Ill omen among us; | mean the dis
regard of law. There, then, is one
point at which danger may be ex-
pected. The question seems: How
shall We fortify against it? The an-
swer is simple. Let every American,
every lover OF liberty, every we'll
wisher to his posterity, swear by the
blood of the Revolution never to ylo-
late in the least particular the law
of his country and never to tolerate
their violation by others.-Abraham

tell his neighbors t%wenty-four and

dry weather the tails of the pigs
have one curl, in wet weather two

A novel method of saying mass

a monograph in the chancel. which

Special Prices on Porch Shades
Very pronounced reduction to clean up.

Very pronounced reduction to clean up.
The highest grade Porch Shades to be had are those known
as Vudor and Tusculum. In fact they are the only satisfactory
shade made. Awnings and canvas curtains shut out the sun, it
is true, but as they likewise prevent the circulation of air, the
porch becomes an oven. Bamboo screens afford practically no
protection, The sun beats through them and people outside
can see right through. These shades we are now advertising at
such low prices are very different, they keep out the suns rays,
and while you can look out, no one can see in. They should
be on your porch.
Size AXIS reduced from 50 to $1.39.
Size 6xS reduced from SO. rs to $3.50.
Size SIS reduced from S. to $3.50.
Size SKIS reduced from $3.50 to $3.50.

Michael Grant and Captain Basil

BILE staircase up to the terrace, and
stood together for a moment in abso-

A few yards away from them a yell
low radiance poured out through the
high, open, windows which opened
upon the porphyry walk. Beyond this
bar Of orange light. which shone upon
the crimson oleander flowers in their
great green tubs, all was darkness.
A distant murmur Of voices came
out into the still, hot summer night.
Basil and Grant crept forward until
they had come to the very edge of the

Grant laughed a little low laugh O

gone on marvellously well, unsuspect

doomed before them. They had al
rived at the theatre of their wild en-

them was losing courage as he real
tied the immensely and f~ar-reachins
consequences of what had already
been done. To Grant and to Basil

The two men walked ~nervously and
noiselessly over the grass, until they
came to the great broad marble stair

statutes cleaned in the faint light.
An overpowering odor of roses and
oleanders came to them, and they
crept up the broad stairs in absolute
