WE are authorized to announce the
name of ANDREW J. STEIN.MAN as
candidate for the office of County Treasurer,
sublectr o the rules and decisions of the Demo
cratic pi marten. #
Among the wore importaut legisla
tive propositions that died with the
fifty-ninth congress,and most of which
received the sanction of the president
and the country, are ; The eight-hour
bill which organized labor has been
asking for these many years. The anti
injunction bills, of which there were
several. Swamp land reclamation.
Codification of the revised federal
statutes. Modification of the Chinese
exclusion act. Copyright revision. Re
duction of the tariff on Philippine
products entering the United States.
The bill to make Porto Ricans citiz
ens. Publicity in campaign affairs.
The Crumpacker bill to afford a court
' review of a fraud order issued by the
postoffice department. Federal child
labor legislation. Legislation to pro
tect free labor from contract labor.
Legislation regulating the interstate
traffic in intoxicating liquors. Most of
these measures will re-appear at the
next session, but it is a discredit to
congress and to this nation, that the
Sugar and Tobacco Trusts prevented
justice to the Philippines in giving
tiiem suclijegislatiou as would place
them ou their feet and revive their
industries, by reducing the tariff ou
Pnilippiue products entering the
United States.
The notorious railway mail graft,
carrying with it excessive payments
to the amount of at least ten or fifteen
milliou dollars a year, is coutiuued.
The trick of .weighing the mails for
seveu days and dividing by six to find
the daily average, which makes a free
gift of five million dollars to the roads,
is still in force. The Beef Trust is al
so victor The Beveridge amendment
to date meat products was defeated in
conference. The conservation of gov
ernment oil and coal lands, urged by
the president, was refused, though the
refusal leaves them at the mercy of
the Standard Oil and Coal Trusts.
ARTIFICIAL WARM TH.
It* Use an Inherited U«l»It ard a
Sifrii Of Luxnry.
Willi the big. restless, energetic
world outside of this tropical belt, how
ever, the matter of keeping warm Is
ever present, troublesome and expen
sive, throughout half of each passing
year.
As a matter of fact, the world of hu
manity dwelling in stoveland never has
been in all the ages really and com
fortably warm in winter. It is largely
our own fault. Mankind is the only an
imal which employs lire In the effort to
survive the cold of the winters. The
hardy lower animals do not need it,
however much their luxuriously ener
vated representatives, the dog aud the
rat, may enjoy it when they have a
chance.
Ancient man only got himself rid of
his provident coat of hair and his suf
flcent latent heat when he began to
loaf around the family cooking stove
and absorb the iutoxicating comfort of
artificial warmth. This faraway an
cestor Is responsible for the fact that
the present day human being, outside
of the belt aforesaid, Is obliged to keep
close to a thermometer registering
nearly or quite 70 degrees F. from Oc
tober to May, besides which he must
needs wear extra clothing. This also Is
an Inherited habit.
A traveler west once asked a half
naked Indian In midwinter how he
".managed to stand- the weather. The
Indian replied: "Your tyce no got a
coat. It no cold. Indian face all over/'

WAYS OF THE TOAD.
■ome of (Up Oddltlen of Tkla Peculiar
Creature.
It is remarkable that the toad, lov
ing water as it does, should wander
away from watery regions to dry
ground, where it can never see a drop
of water except at rain time and leave
its water rights to the undisputed pos
session of its ranal neighbor the frog.
How the toad loves water must be
known to every garden lover. When
ever there is a shower the creature
leaves Its cool retreat under the piazza
or shed and stands as far as its fore
legs will let it, erect in the rain, ap
parently enjoying to the utmost the
6hower bath.
Whenever they are near the water
at breeding time they deposit long,
slimy strings of eggs, and the young i
toad has togo through the tadpole I
stage In common with his brother frog.
But when they are wholly excluded by
distance from the water, they seem to
have the power of being -viviparous,
or bringing forth their young alive.
In the water fertilization is effected
in the same manner as In fishes, but
the method in the land life career Is
not known. About all that is known
Is that confined toads are found with
little toads, no larger than house files,
about them after a time, and in walled
gardens and places far removed from
water little toads, no larger than peas,
wandering around on their own re
sources and which could ne\er have
been tadpoles, are within common ex- ,
berlence. J *
The Girl From
the West
By OTHO B. SENGA
Copyright, 1006, by C. H. Sutcliffe J'
Paul Alger looked firmly into Mrs.
Elliott's face.
"You don't realize what you're ask
ing, Aunt Ruth," irritatedly.
"I'm not asking," calmly. "I'm sim
ply telling you what I expect of you.
The girl will be here tomorrow. My
will is made with these plans in view.
If you don't fall in with them, you're
disinherited absolutely; that's all."
Alger rose.
"Aunt Ruth, you've been more than
a mother to uie, aud I'd like to do ev
erything I can to please you, but this
Is expecting too much. I must reserve
the right to select my own wife."
Mrs. Elliott was stubbornly silent,
and after a moment the young fellow
said earnestly, "Aunt Ruth, give the
money to the girl if you want to, but
don't let her come between you and
me!"
"Don't talk to me, Paul," impatiently.
"I shall give it to you two—together
or not at all!"
"Who is this girl," Alger demanded
with heat, "that she should be thrust
upon me in this style?"
"She is the daughter of my husband's
brother. When this girl and my Fred
erick were little children the brothers
promised each other that the children
should marry when they were old
enough. Frederick died, and after your
mother's death I adopted you. You
have taken Frederick's place in every
thing else. You must in this. Promise,
Paul!"
"It Is utterly impossible!" firmly.
"Paul," temptingly, "she is very
pretty."
Alger smiled and shook his head.
"And, Paul," playing her trump card,
"she is musical."
Music was Alger's passion.
"Yes?" indifferently.
"Yes," emphatically. "She plays the
violin."
"What Insufferable presumption!" im
patiently. "A girl from the wild west,
brought up on a cattle ranch, you said.
Doubtless she can ride a broncho or
lasso a steer, but she shouldn't meddle
with the violin. She probably never
heard of Bach or Mendelssohn and
wouldn't know a sonata from n sand
wich. Aunt, I can fancy her bringing
her violin in her arms and playing for
the delectation of the other passengers
in the Pullman. Ugh!"
"You refuse, then?"
"Most decidedly."
"Very well." icily. "I accept your de
cision as final."
The next day Alger from his desk in
the library saw the girl as she entered
the adjoining room, where Mrs. Elliott
waited to greet her. She was tall and
graceful, with a high bred air of ease
that surprised him. Her voice was
clear and well modulated.
"Upon my word," he muttered, "I ex
pected her manner of speech to be a
cross between a cowboy's yell and an
Indian warwlioop."
lie saw the servant come in with a
violin case.
"Will madam have this in the music
room or"—
"Oh, no; here." And Vera held out
her hands.
"You brought this yourself, Vera?"
Mrs. Elliott's tone held the slightest
suggestion of annoyance.
"In my arms literally," laughed Vera.
Alger In his dim corner smiled.
Vera gently placed the case on the
floor and lifted out the instrument as
tenderly as a mother lifts her babe
from its cradle.
"Oh, Aunt Ruth," fervently, "when
you see it you will understand—my
beautiful violin!"
She clasped it to her bosom with a
gesture of tenderness. The beauty of
the girl, the uuaffected grace of her
pose and her evident artistic apprecia
tion stirred Alger to Instant admira
tion.
lie met the girl at dinner. She gave
him one long, earnest look that he felt
at once an inquiry and a challenge,
and then, she directed her conversation
to Mrs. Elliott.
Alger was piqued. He was accus
tomed to more attention from young
women. She related some of the inci
dents of her trip.
"We had a concert each evening.
There were three girls in our Pullman
coming to Boston to study music. They
sang well."
"And you played, I suppose, Miss
Elliott?" Alger could not forbear the
question.
Khe turnod her dance unon him
rtiSiat the instrument he loves best—u
! vyadivarius almost beyond price—to a
g>upil who merely 'scrapes,' " thought
Alger.
"Did he have many pupils, Miss El
liott?" experimentally.
"No one but myself. He is old and
can no louger play. Age has stiffened
his fingers. But he played once—oli,
how he could play! lie taught me from
a little child, and when I could play
to please him—he gave me this."
"Your teacher was a German?" ten
tatively.
"A Belgian," quietly. "Now you shall
hear the voice of the Stradivarius."
She tuned the strings aud played.
There was certainty of chord fingering,
a strength, an almost manliness, com
bined with emotional warmth, about
her Interpretation of the difficult Bach
sonata that amazed Alger.
"Bach's D Minor Sonata is not for
ttmateurs," he said gravely to his aunt
"Miss Elliott's gift is beyond question
She would rank with the great violin
ists of the present day."
"I think John possessed some musical
ability," replied Mrs. Elliott serenely.
The girl raised her bow with an in
describable gesture of reverence. "My
mother," proudly, "was a De Beriot.
My master is my grandfather. I did
not wish to seem to boast, ne 13
briefly. "Oh, I scraped my little best,"
coolly.
Alger felt the rebuff, but ho shot a
triumphant glance at his aunt.
As the evening progressed Alger be
gan to wish that he could win some
pleasant look or word from the girl
and to deeply resent his inability to do
so.
"Will you play for us. Miss Elliott?"
he asked, more humbly than was his
habit.
She was about to decline, but Mrs.
Elliott added quickly: "For me. Vera,
dear. I am so anxious to hear you."
The Instrument with which Vera re
turned to the room caught Alger's dis
criminating eye at once.
"Where did you get this, Miss Elli
ott?" almost abruptly as he recognized
Its rarity an«l value.
"It Is a gift from my master. lie
had owned It for many years. He has
also a Guaruerlus and an Aniati. Put
this was his 'sweetheart.* He always
, called It so."
"A master of the Violiu does not Die-
Francis Auguste de iseriot."
"And this from the cattle ranch!"
thought Alger.
As the days went by he found him
self desperately in love with the girl
and unable to win from her anything
more than the most chilling courtesy.
He had not even the satisfaction of
confiding In Mrs. Elliott. Once when
he tried to speak of Vera, meaning to
confess his love for the girl, his aunt
Interrupted him coldly: "Say no more,
Paul. I accepted your decision as final,
you will remember, and a later will
leaves all 1 possess to the Home For
Aged Men."
She swept angrily from the room.
Alger stood for a moment as If stun
ned; then he laughed aloud. "That's
good news! Now there's no money in
the way, and I'll move heaveu and
earth to win the loveliest girl that
ever'#—
" 'Caifle out of the west,'" quoted
a merry voice, and the portiers parted
and Vera stepped from the window
seat into the room.
Alger sprang forward hastily.
"Vera," eagerly, "you've known all
the while that I love you"—
"A girl from the west, brought up on
a cattle ranch?" she questioned, hold
ing him back with her hand on his
breast.
"I don't care where you're from, or
anything else, if you'll only say you
love me, Vera," pleadingly.
"A girl who doesn't know a sonata
from a sandwich?" mischievously.
"Vera, forgive me for that and say
you love me."
"Paul," seriously, "I've loved you
ever since I was a little girl. See!"
She drew a locket from her bosom and
pressed back the cover.
Alger gazed in bewilderment. It was
his own face that locked up at him.
"Aunt Ruth seut that to my father.
1 claimed It as mine and have worn it
always."
"Vera," with his arms about her,
"why have you been so crusl to me
when I've tried so hard"—
"I feared you might propose to me
to please Aunt Ruth and—and because
of the money."
"Here, here! What's all tills about?"
Aunt Ruth's voice sounded harshly at
the door. \
They turned toward her together.
"Vera has promised to marry me,
Aunt Ruth."
"And my latest will"— She fairly
hurled the words at them.
"We don't miud!" they cried togeth
er rapturously.

Ruth In a changed voice, aud they
heard her laughing as she softly closed
the door and left them to their hap
piness.
TESSIE THE WAITRESS.
Tlie Reason That Faithful No. 13
Took a Day Off.
Like the fated duchess lu Brown
ing's poem, Tessie smiled upon all meu.
No matter how Intricate the order or
how many times you sent things back,
she never grumbled. There was al
ways a struggle to get a seat at her
table. "The boys" who regularly gath
ered In the downtown restaurant at
half past 12 would wait fifteen min
utes for the privilege of being served
by Tessie. They joked her a good deal
and always were rewarded by a flash
ing smile and a twinkle of the eye, a
bit of repartee or perhaps a little ex
tra attention to their order. But nev
er did one of them prcJtime upon her
friendliness and bon camaraderie to
overstep 1 lie very certain line which
she had drawn between herself and
those whom she served. She was
young, piquant and pretty, but she
"mothered" them all, and, uo matter
how tenderly she might ask If the eggs
were just right or the coffee hot, they
knew that It was useless to misinter
pret that "mothering."
Tessie stayed In the downtown lunch
room just three years. From the day
she came the manager's discerning eye
discovered a prize in her, and from the
ladles' table she was promoted to one
where masculinity and tips were more
frequent. If a waitress were absent,
Tessie was always given the "extra"
table to serve, and she never complain
ed. Tessie was never tardy, never
too ill to work, never distrait or care
less. Tirelessly she went up and
down with her arms full of dishes and
food."The boys" used to speculate
sometimes upon Tessle's matrimonial
possibilities and hazard guesses as to
what they would do when some fellow
carried her off to wait on himself ex
clusively. But in time she became
such a fixture that they ceased wonder*
Ing why such a pretty girl was forced
to work In a quick lunch room and
gave up the thought that she would
ever marry at all.
That is why they were very much
surprised one day when they arrived
to find no Tessie. Another waitress
tried to take her place, but nobody got
what he wanted, and nothing went
right. They had been so used to de
pending upon Tessle's suggestions and
her memory that the new waitress had
a hard time of it. Finally In a fit of
the grouch one of the boys called the
manager over.
"Say," he demanded, "where's Tes
sie?"
The manager lifted his eyebrows po
litely.
"Tessie?" he began. ,"Oh, you mean
No. 12. She will be back tomorrow."
The next morning Tessie appeared as
usual. The crowd of young clerks
greeted her with a whoop.
"Where have you been?" they de
manded.
Tessie looked nt them for a moment.
Her fingers gripped the edge of tlie
table, aud two big tears rose to her
eyes.
"I—l stayed homo yesterday," she
said chokingly, "to—to goto my hus
band's funeral."
The clerks looked at one another
blankly.
"Your husband!" exclaimed some
body.
"Yes," said Tessie simply. "He's
dead. He had been ill three years
consumption." Aud theu she hurried
away to the kitchen to give her orders
aiul wipe her tear stained face.—New

PHYSICIANS DISAGREE
Different Opinions on Cooper's Bemarkable
Success Held by Cincinnati Medical Men.
Cincinnati, O. March 14. The
astonishing sale of Cooper's prepar
ations in this city has now reached
such immense figures that the medical
fraternity at large have become forced
into open dicussiou of the man and
his preparations.
The physicians as a whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
man's success in Cincinnati—some be
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions is
very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two of a number of
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
Dr. J. E. Carass when questioned
about the matter said. "I have not
been a believer in proprietary prepa
rations heretofore nor can I say that
I believe in them at present. 15ut I
must admit that some of the facts re
cently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far to
wards removing the prejudice I had
formed against him when the un
heard of demand for the preparations
first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of my patients whom I have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
troubles have met me after taking
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. I notice

"I simply must make that tralh," i
said Nan. "I must get home."
Bert looked at his mother. She made
a helpless gesture.
"I don't see how It can be done, my ]
dear Nan," she said weakly. "Both
of the horses have gone lame, the liv
ery has no horse In, and the express
man cannot come for your trunk until
this afternoon."
"Can't we beg, borrow or buy a rig?" |
she demanded briskly. "Surely every
horse aud cart In Pleasantville is not
engaged."
"I guess you'll have to stay over un
til tomorrow," said Bert blandly. "I
can'get a horse by then."
"I'm going to get one right away,"
she said decidedly. "I promised Nell
Taylor when we were at school that I
would be her bridesmaid aud I'm go
ing to."
Mrs. Montrose stared. "My dear
Nan," she said coldly, "I hope you will
do nothing to excite comment."
Nan stared. She had told them a
week ago that she must leave on
Thursday, and they had made no move
toward looking after her departure.
Now that she had been forced to take
the matter Into her own hands this
placid remark Irritated her.
"I am going to get that trunk to the
train if I have to hire a circus parade,"
she said spiritedly as she darted out
of the door.
Mrs. Montrose held up her hands In
placid horror. "My dear Bert," she
said, "it is almost fortunate that the
girl will not have you."
"Nothing of tho sort," was the brutal
response. "I need the money, and you
know I do. If you hadn't made that
row about her riding Dwight's horse It
would have been all right. I was hop
ing if I forgot about the baggage she
might stay on, and I could patch It
up."
"Well, let us hope that the girl does
not entirely disgrace us," was the wall
ing rejoinder as Mrs. Montrose went
Into the parlor, where she could com
mand a view of the street.
Nan Udell had been a thorn in her
flesh ever since she had come from the

west for a visit. Her father and the
late John Montrose had been mining
partners in the early days. Each had
made his strike, and when Nan and
Bert were born It was agreed that they
were to marry when they should be
old enough. Nan had come visiting
with the implied understanding that
they were to wed, but Bert had soon
disgusted her, while there had been
numerous conflicts between herself and
Mrs. Montrose, who was perpetually
shocked at her breezy western manner.
She administered the last shock when
she presently drove up to the house on
the seat of an express wagon, talking
spiritedly to the driver. She sprang to
the ground before ho could descend and
assist her and rail tip tho steps.
"All right!" she cried as she threw
open the door. "Please let John help
the man with the trunks."
"But how are you going to get into
town?" objected Mrs. Montrose*
"I'll ride with the man," laughed
Nan. "He.said I might. It won't be
the first time. Goodby, Mrs. Montrose.
I'm sorry I was such a trouble to you.
I'll wire when 1 get home and write
e cases of years standing that proved

1 through professional prejudice, and I
am inclined to give Cooper and his
d preparations credit as deserving to

e this city."
t Another well kuown physician who
s was seen took the opposite view of
, the "Cooper-mania," as he called it,

Goodby, Bert."
She turned and flew down the steps
after the man and with a spring was
back on the seat beside him.
"If you're Jn a hurry," she said con
tentedly as he touched the team with
the whip, "the only way Is to do a
thing yourself."
"You seem quite capable of looking
after things yourself," he laughed. "I
fancy you shocked Mrs. Montrose. She
is so emineutly proper!"
"I'm sorry," she said penitently, "but
I just had to g;»t home, and they knew
it. I'm glad I found you."
"So am I," he laughed.
"You ought to be out west." she said,
with a comprehensive gaze that was
not impertinent because it was so
frank. "You're more the type of west
ern man. They don't have a lot of
men of your type here."
The driver flushed. "We have them,"
he said quietly, "but I guess they don't
travel in the PleasantviHe* set." lie
laughed as he thought of the snobbish
social circle of the little suburb where
even the trolley was barred. Nan read
his thoughts and laughed in sympathy.
Iler visit had not beeu pleasant.
She chatted on as they sped along.
The man was singularly intelligent for
a workman, and she enjoyed his chat
as much as she did the presence of a
real man after six weeks with the pale
youths who constituted the male ele
ment of rieasantvillc society. She was
almost sorry when they reached the
town and drove up to the station.
The driver ushered her into the wait
ing room, purcnasen ner ticket ana
sleeper, checked her trunks and finally
came toward her. "Here Is what I
had to pay out," he said, offering a neat
memorandum. "This Is the change."
She glanced at the coins and smiled.
"That's the last of my greenbacks,"
she laughed. "Now I'll get gold again.
I like it lots better."
"We dou't take to it on here," he
smiled.
"But I've got to give you one," she
said. "I have no more bill*."
She held out a five dollar go'd piece,
and after a pause his hand closed over
it. """!'a!•': < OP," he • >!d. "B'lt VOU

"That's a real goodby," she said im

Ills hand closed over hers with a
pressure tint almost crushed it; then,
with a bow, he tunic 1 and left the
room, while she Fettled herself for the
hour wait.
Nan was i?i time to he a bridesmaid,
and when she had written a long ac
count to Mr.j. Montrose she sought to
put thoughts of Picas intville out of her
mlud. It was easy enough to forget
Mrs. Montrose a ink the colorless Bert,
but somehow tho expressman would
crop up in her memory.
She assured herself over and over
again that she did not care for any
man who was content to drive an ex
press wagjn, and yet all the time she
knew that she did ea/e, and when a
few weeks later she e.itered the Crom
wells' ballroom and at the far end saw
a face she thought familiar her heart

It could not be the expressman, she
as ,;ied herself. The Crjiuwclis were
mo-t exclusive, and yet"— lie came
to v.i .1 her with his hostess on his arm.
"Mr. Newhall lias been asking about
you, my dear," smiled tho old lady.
"It seems that you met back east." *
"I d > not flatter myself that Miss
Udell recalls me," he smiled. "But I
had tho good fortune to he of some
slight service at her departure."
"Well, you can recall it to her," said
Mrs. Cromwell placidly. "I must go
and look after that Teihpleton girl.
Look after Paul, my dear."
"I suppose you are surprised to see
me here," she smiled. "May I ex
plain? The conservatory Is very
handy."
Nan bowed, and he led the way.
"You see," he began when they had

FLY FISHING.
The Expert Angler Explains Why It
Is a humane Sport.
"Well," said Chichester, "If It comes
to suffering 1 doubt whether the fish
are conscious of any such thing as we
means by it. But even if they are they
Buffer twice as much and a thousand
times as long shut up lr. this hot, nasty
pool as they would in being caught In
proper style."
"But think of the hook!"
"Hurts about as much as a pin
prick."
"But think of the fearful struggle
and the long, gasping agony on the
shore!"
"There's no fear In the struggle. It's
Just a trial of strength and skill, like
a game of football. A fish Isn't afraid
of death; he doesn't know anything
about It. And there Is no gasping on
the shore, but a quick rap on the
head with a stick, and It's all over."
"But why should ho be killed at all?"
"Well," said ho, smiling, "there are
reasons of taste. You eat salmon,
don't you?"
"Ye-e-es," she answered a little
doubtfully, then with more assurance,
"but remember what Wilbur Short
says In that lonely chapter on •Com
munion With the Catfish'—l want them
brought to the table in the simplest
and most painless way."
"And that is angling with the fly,"
said he, still more decidedly. "The
fly Is not swallowed like a bait. It
sticks iu the skin of the-Jlp, where
there Is least feeling. There is no
torture in the play of a salmon. It's
Just a fair fight with an unknown op
ponent. Compare it with the other
ways of bringing a fish to the table.
If he's caught in a net, he hangs there
for hours, slowly strangled. If he's
speared, half the time the spear slips,
and he struggles off badly wounded,
and If the spear goes through him ho
is flung out on the bank to bleed to
death. Even If ho escapes he Is sure
to come to a pitiful end some day
perish by starvation when he gets too
old to catch his food or be torn to
pieces by a seal, an otter or a fish
hawk. Fly fishing really offers him"—
"Never mind that," said Ethel.
"What does It offer you?"
"A gentleman's sport, I suppose," he
answered rather slowly.—Henry van
liyUo in Scribner's.
