PECULIARLY A ONE-TERM
PARTY.

Springfield (Mo.) Republican:
Someone reminds us that mot since
the days of Andrew Jackson has a
Democrat succeeded himself. y
Can you imagine finer tribute to
the good sense Of the American peo-
pie? One term of Free Trade adj
ministration is all that they will
stand for. That is plenty long
enough for business to be put on the
bum, for labor to find it's employment
gone, for capital to lose heart and
take to the cyclone cellars.
The people have never had good
cause for continuing the Free Traders
in power beyond single term. At
the end of the four years the country
is far worse off than when they took
charge of it, That is the unbroken
record. 1t was so at the end of
Cleveland's first term in 'SS. The
country vas again in desperate straits
at the close of his second presidency
in '96.
Now, in the concluding year of
Wilson'S and last presidential
term times are a whole lot together
than they were in the last year of
the Taft administration, as everybody
will remember.
Until the Free Trade party shall
have learned how not to disorganiZe
and discourage; how not to harass
and hinder how not to penalize and
paralyze American industry and COM
merce every time it assumes command
at Washington, it must expect that
the American people will permit no
Free Trade president to succeed him
self. The democratic party has sim
ply got to make good during the first
term before it can even hope to be
given chance at a second. Moth
ing else to it.
The democracy is peculiarly one
term pa ty.
Bombastic bumptious buncombe

loter to What is best for the bosom of
his family.

Chicle is a soft rubbery substance
made of the latex of the zapote tree.
The trees are tapped and liquid
oozes out and is gathered in tight
canvas bag. Then the liquid is
boiled down to a thicker consistency,
and the process continues until we
have the gum as we find it in the
markets. In its original state chicle
chewing gum was first put on the
market in this country in small
way about 1866, it was without
sweetness and was not Favored as it
now is.

 The hardest work that Goggle Eye had to do was to go to sleep!
 Now, you know, all little fishes, and big fishes, too, as to that matter, don't
 have any eyelids to pull down over their eyes and make everything so
 good and dark when the Sand Man
 comes. No matter how sleepy they get they just can't shut their eyes, but
 must sleep with them wide open. And | if their eyes are open you just know they must see all sorts of things to interest and keep them awake, though they try ever so hard to keep from seeing.
 The reason for this queer state of things is they must watch out, all the time, even when they are fast asleep, for fear some big fish, or eel, or tur- tie, might come along and gobble them up, and they would never know it if their eyes were shut. Now, how would you little folks
 like to have to keep your big eyes open when bedtime comes, when you are tucked warm under the blankets
 and the lights turned low and every
 thing is so still and quiet? I just
 don't believe you could do it! Do VO1

Johns S Difficulty

~ OHN had an awful time learning his "A-B-C's," and although this & was one of his first years in aW school, he was discouraged, and as his father expressed 1t Wanted to throw up the job."
 Come here. son, and I will try to help you,' said his father one evening when John Just couldn't remember what letter came after "J," and which came first "M" or "N' There are only 26 letters in the whole alpha { bet"
 "Only 26?" answered John with contempt in his voice. T call that a | lot"
 What would you say if you had to remember POP letters?"
 Huh! who does?" asked John.
 The Ethiopia boy does. The Jap anese boy has 50 to remember, the Russian Al, the Armenian 3S, the Per sian 32, the Arabic 2s, the Spanish 27, the German and the Dutch boy like you, must learn 26 letters, the Greek only A."
 ! "Oh, he's in luck. he has two less than I,' interrupted John.
 Boys in other countries have still | iSSS' SifNS tue buIlleSG UOy, no ndS to remember only 19 letters, the Ital- ian 20, the Hebrew and Latin 22 each, and the French 25." Then after pause Johns father said T suppose I'll have to adopt the method Herodes | the Greek used to overcome the trouble when his son Atticus had to learn the alphabet He had "A little slaves to whom he gave the names of the Greek letters, one letter to each, so that when Atticus played with them he had to call them by name, and in this way the stupid boy soon became familiar with his alphabet At least once a day he had to make his com- panions stand in line before him, in the proper order of the alphabet, and soon the boy knew his 1esson."
 Will you, father?" said John, T should like 26 boys to play with.'
 "You are not stupid boy" an- swered his father. You sit right down here and put your mind to your lesson and remember it."
 Every well,' answered John meek | ly, as he began to humble to himself, "A, B, c, D, E, F."

little boy quieted down and went to sleep, with his Mamma holding his hand and assuring him that she would watch right beside him and see that nothing tickled him again.
 And when the doctor came the next day and was told about the jon- quils that had tickled his little pa- tient he shook his head slowly and muttered, Delirious? Well, well, we must change the medicinei"
 'In week or two the little boy was well and out of bed and just as chipper as you please but-he never so much as touched flower of any kind! And, would you believe it, he'd sometimes laugh when he saw them!
 His Mamma explained to him what the word delirious means, how he was out of his head as the saying has it. But this little boy merely shook his kead-for he felt that he knew bet ter. Goodness me, hadn't he seen those jonquils hop out of the vase and tickle his feet At all events, he con- cluded to take no chances-so he plucked no more flowers, nor uproot- ed them, nor stamped upon them?"

of that vase and went for the little boy. He was so frightened that he couldn't move & muscle. So, they tickled him in the ribs, and under his arms and on the end of his nose and mind you--on the soles of his feet! Tickle, tickle, tickle. Goodness me, it all but set him crazy!
 "He tried to squirm and twist and climb out of bed, but he couldn't. He tried to yell for his Mamma to come, and for his Papa to step on those horrid jonquils-but he couldn't.
 "Leastwise, he couldn't until he had been tickled good and plenty, as they say Then the mischievous jonquils suddenly bounded back into the vase and the little boy shouted. Mamma came running into his room and so did Papa. Step on them! Step on them, Papa!' he cried. They've been tickling me! Throw them out the window Please-pul-lease F r quite a while neither his Mamma nor his Papa knew what he was talking about but as soon as they did they of course removed the vase of jon quils to Mamma's s room.
 And it was quite while before the

hungry, too.
 There was a big old catfish, all slimy and slick, who would come sneaking along, looking for something to eat-and he ate little fishes, too.
 His wicked little eyes were just like two shining amber beads and he had two long, wavy, strings, sticking out from the front part of his face, where mustaches grow; and, when he opened his mouth. it looked all big and dark, like the entrance to a tunnel And, then, he had two stiff, needle-like things standing out from his shoulders, like the sharpest spears. They were the things he fought with when anybody made him mad When the other water people saw him come sliding along they-all tried to look

came-a tall, grave, solemn-looking man with thick, bushy whiskers and a huge pair of spectacles. He felt the little boys pulse and then took out 8 piece of paper and pencil and wrote something on it. Give him 8 teaspoonful of this every two hours he said to the little boys mother, 'un- til he goes to sleep for the night. I'll come again in the morning and see how he is.' Then he turned to the little boy and said, See that you stay in bed, well covered up, and don't let me hear of any shenanigans on your part!' Goodness me, how he frightened that little boy,
 Later that afternoon his aunt, who had just heard the news, came rush. ing over to see how he was, for she was very, very fond of the little boy though between you and me, my dears, I don't believe she knew how he disliked flowers. Surely, she couldn't have known, else she would not have brought him a large bouquet of jon quils, yellow and white ones!
 See what pretty flowers your aunt has brought you said his Mamma, as she arranged them in vase on table near his bed. But the little boy only scowled and turned over on his side so that his face was next to the wall. Oh, you poor, poor dear' his aunt began. Whereupon, the little boy kicked the covers-until he remembered the doc tor and what he had said about she nanigans; then, you may be sure, he stopped.
 "Well, that evening-maybe it was long after midnight - the little boy suddenly sat straight up in bed. His eyes were large as saucers and he sat with his mouth wide open trying to scream but unable to-he was that scared,
 And with reason, too; for every ionquil in the vase was leering at him. There he is' squeaked a tiny white one. He's the boy who hates flowers and tramples on them! growled a big old grandfather jonquil.
 And he tears them up by the roots! crooked a stately yellow one. What shall we do to him? asked long stemmed one. Tickle him. Tickle him. Tickle himn they all shouted in chorus. Tickle him until he laughs so hard that whenever, after this, he sees a flower he'll remember to laugh instead of destroying it'
 And with that-so the story runs my dears-every jonquil jumped out

 When he was gone, and the water had become still and clear, the other little Perch children would look at each other, and say: Now, that's funny! We'll have to ask mother about that"
 But, of all the water people, the funniest one was the big, lazy old bullfrog, who was always as happy as the day was long, and who swan with two long green and yellow splotched legs, instead of with fins, like everybody else did.
 This jolly old fellow did not live all the time in the water but, some times, he would crawl out on the bank and actually get perfectly dry!
 Now, if Goggle Eye was ever so unfortunate as to get perfectly dry, he would most certainly die-and there wouldn't be any Goggle Eye any

very smiling, like they were glad to see him, but they always gave him plenty of room, and got so far out of his way that their tails stuck in the mud of the banks.
 Queer how folks always get so po- lite when a big fellow, like the cat fish, comes along. isn't 1t?
 But, some of the fish that swam past, were very beautiful, and Goggle Eye just loved to watch them and wonder if he would ever grow to be as big and shiny as they were.
 Now, there was the perch family who lived where the creamy pond lilies foated. and where their big. round leaves lay flat on the water, they seemed to be real nice people, too. They were certainly mighty nice to look at--so thin and flat, and with such beautiful, wellkept fins and scales.

 But then, Goggle Eye was a gem erous little fellow, and didn't mind bit letting people see what he had.
 Goggle Eye never ventured very far away from the shelter of the black roots of the gum tree. but he liked to hide there and watch the water people go by, and, it seemed to him, that some of them were always going up or down the stream.
 It was a good thing for him he had such a fine place where he could lie, and see, and not be seen, as some of the creatures that swam by had awful, big mouths, and looked awfully

 Som metimes, when he was watching them, one would suddenly disappear, going out of sight, right up towards the world of air and sunshine!
 It was a funny habit, and Goggle Eye couldn't understand it at all.
 It was like this: Something would drop down from above, and when the something got still enough to be seen it was just long, pink worm, all tangled up on a black, curved wire arrangement, with just teeny sharp point, sticking out.
 Then, the biggest one of the Perch children would jump for the wriggling worm, swallow it with one gulp and then, with a wild flourish of his tail,

~ HE children came trooping in with their arms full of frag-
 rant yellow jonquils. There - were Madge and Maud and little Hal. their eyes adance with shafts ot light that must surely have come from the bright sunbeams outside, and their cheeks aglow with the kisses of the gentle wind.
 See, Mammal" cried Maud.
 Aren't they beau-u-u- u-tiful, Nam ma' exclaimed Madge.
 Me got some, too"' piped up little Hal.
 They are dear, just dear' agreed Mamma with equal enthusiasm. "Oh I am so glad that my children love fiowers-and especially spring flowers when they are so bravely pushing forth from the brown, barren earth which has been buried for so long under it's mantle of snow and seered by the bitter winter winds.
 If you didn't love them, children I'm afraid you might-well, did I ever tell you the story of the little boy who didn't love flowers? No? My my, it's high time you should hear it then Come, Hal, my little man and sit on Mammals lap-you l look tired. Let Madge hold your jonQuils for you"
 Maud found a comfortable nesting place against Mammals knee and Madge stood for a while holding the fragrant blooms before she sat down on the floor, Turk fashion.
 There was once little boy. Mamma began, who didn't like flow CTS at all He couldn't see anything pretty in them and he couldn't under stand why people should like them In fact, he really hated flowers: SC much so that he never overlooked an opportunity to walk upon them, oi pluck them and then throw them away-just out of spite, it seemed.
 Now, no one knew of this feeling of his toward flowers, for he didn't talk about it, not even to his Mamma or his Papa, though both of them once in a while had to punish him for up- roofing some of the flowers in their garden. He, poor. bad little boy would often try to blame it on Tow ser, his faithful little fox terrier, oi even insist that some beggar mar must have come along and done it So. as you can see for yourself, he wasn't a really nice little boy at all,
