ance at the Royal Berlin Opera in operas
in which was wooed by SWANS splenddly

of men once more wearing brilliant, color
full, picturesque garb, and l resolved never
to accept a man whose very choicest attire,
evening clothes, could really only befit an

the proviso that man might be of so COM

All, those two operas in which l first
sang in public. Out of the forty-six lead
ing roles in which have now sung, those
two, The Merry Wives of Windsor and
The Huguenots," together with Romeo
and Juliet" remain my favorites. What
men are the men in these operas, stalwart
hardy and bold, yet dressed in silk and
satin and laces and plumes?
The clothes that men wear are all wrong.
They should wear colors. They should
wear silks and satins, for they cost no
more than broadcloth and imported
woolens. They should again have hats
with plumes ana doubleUs and hose. Men
dress now as only low caste servants used
to dress, and the most ridiculous part OF
modern garb is the claw hammer coat,
which is only graceful and attractive when
e to haU n
graceful physique.
That for a man to dress splendidly is
effeminate is a sad relic of barbaTism.
This is not a puritanical age. Yet it is
from the harsh Puritans of England that
the world now gets masculine saTtoTial
ideas 1t was those PuTitans, who in and
after Shakespeare's day tried to suppress
the drama, who regarded beauty as a sin,
who made Sunday a day of torture instead
of a day of rest. They rallied against
everything beautiful, and if they had had
their way would even have suppressed the
arts Of painting and sculpture.
We have outliyed the idea that really
to be serviceable something must be ugly
Or we have Outlived this idea in regard to
almost everything but mems clothes. Much
money is spent on beauty on the inside and
outside of buildings, and much money on
the beautifying Of cities, and as for pure
art, what vast sums Yet men dress like

Let Democrats Stand On Guard.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
The primary election for a del
egate to the Constitutional Con-
vention on Tuesday, resulted in
the nomination of a very capable
and enterprising citizen who is a
straight Democrat, and the De-
mocracy of this parish is to be
congratulated on Capt. TeaPs
nomination. 1t is significant of
another fact: that our Socialist
friends, who are openly the fol-
lowers of that political doctrine,
have concluded not to partici-
pate in the Democratic primaries,
when in reality they are not en-
titled to participate. Let us have
clean politics, for every qualified
voter has the right to ally him.
self with any political party. but
is he honest when he claims not
to belong to the Democratic par
ty but votes for candidates in a.
Democratic primary?
The Democratic Congress un-
der the splendid leadership of
President Wilson, is slowly but
surely correcting the abuses in
legislation, which built up pow
erful monopolies and trusts I'M
der the Republican administra-
ton for many years past, and it
now commends itself to the sup
port of all classes of men who
are really favoring the reforms
50 long needed in this great gov
eminent. But if any voter does
not really belong to the party,
out to the Socialist or Republican
party, in good faith and honest
politics. he should not partici-
pate in the Democratic primaries
and he has no right to register
as a Democrat when he is not.
| do not object to two or more
political organizations, but every
voter ought to honestly sail un-
der his own party colors, partici-
pate in his own party primaries,
and stand out in bold relief so
every one may know what politi-
cal organization he belongs to.
This is fair, honest and just, and
as a Democrat | hope it will be
observed. A DEMOCRAT.

A Period of Prosperity Ahead.

1t is generally agreed now that
the country is in a prosperous
condition and that it faces a per-
iod of prolonged prosperity. 1t
is becoming more generally rec
ognized that even during the pc
riod of depression that has but
lately ended the country actually
was prosperous, and it lacked
the appearance of prosperity on
ly because it felt poor. For in
stance, reports just issued show
that in the fscial year ending
last June the railroads broke all
records for gross earnings, their
total receipts having been ten
per cent greater than in the pre-
vious year.
1t is obvious that transporta-
ton records cannot be broken in
bad times, except low records,
hence business was good during
the last fiscial year, or railroad
earnings would not have been so
great. Yet the country as a
whole had fallen into the habit
of feeling poor, and the general
impression was that of compare
tive business depression. This
would suggest that prosperity,
after all, is pretty much a state
of mind; and that is why it is so
important to have the tariff and
the currency placed on a perma-
nent and satisfactory basis. IN.

A WAY OUT OF

He was poor man, but had been
obliged, at last, to call in the doctor
to attend his little girl. Her illness
had turned out to be serious one,
and the doctor had had to pay many
visits and leave a good deal of medi-
cine for his patient.
Now, however, she was well again,
and her father stood in the doctors
rooms, waiting for the bill to be made
out.
When, at last, the account was pre-
scented to him, he was almost para
lyzed to see the huge amount he
owed.
''The small amount is for the medi-
cine, and the large one is for my calls
at your house." said the doctor.
The hard-up father took out his
lean purse.

the medicine. My-my wife viii her

Mr. Brown and Mr. Green were
taking their -talked-of holiday in
France. For three months Mr. Green

One afternoon the pair went into
a cafe to have tea, and Green, who
always insisted on doing all the talk

When, however, the tea things were
brought he noticed that something
was missing, and spoke angrily to the
waiter about it.

brought much profit to Farmer Tur-
nut, and much trouble. For the or
chards were considered fair game by
the youth of the village, and two or
chards are harder to watch than one.
One day, looking from one orchard
to the other, Turmut saw small boy
shin down a tree, ano, uttering
word of warning to another imp still
up among the apples, ran off.
Turmut reached that tree in rec
ord time.
Got yer this time!" he roared to
the boy almost hidden among the
leaves. Come down.
Getting no answer, and not being
in a hurry, he sat down and waited.
Time passed, and still he waited, un-
til a servant brought him a note that
had just been dropped through the
letter box. He did not wait after he
had read it, as follows:

We find that the foreign people are

The present price of hogs is from
IL to IA cents per pound dressed, or

far above the price quoted by the va
rious live stock markets, and as long
as these conditions exist. the people
Of this state should be able to find an
exceptionally good market for all the
hogs they are able to raise.
Why, then, when the demand for
pork In this state is so great, and
when there also exists a-relative high
price for farm products, does the pro-
gresslve farmer not turn his thoughts
and interests to the production Of
more hogs on his farm?
The success or failure of this under
taking would depend upon the kind
and quality of hog the farmer uses.
From the breeders standpoint. the hog
should be vigorous and prolific, and
the sows should be able to care for and
