CHAPTER VII.
This premature declaration of feel
jug's Which I had sworn to my self to
suppress was brought about partly by
the spring' fever aforesaid, jiartly by a
youthful and excitable temperan:'
and partly by the encouraging-word;.
Mark Gerard that same afternoon.
Upon his own confession he had antici
pated some such explosion; an:l I was
not the man to balk his fancy.
"I thought," my companion faltered,
"that you were in love with another
woman —the goddess?"
"You are the goddess," I said, fervent
ly. "And I began to worship at your
shrine the very moment we met."
"Oh!"
"You seem surprised. If you had
fallen in love with me, Nancy, that
would indeed have been surprising; but
that I should fall in love with you is
the most natural thing in the world."
"You must fall out of it again," she
answered, gravely.
"Xever!"
"Mr. Livingston, I say you must.
Please don't be ridiculous."
"I can't help it," I replied. "You
would make a graven image love
sick."
"And we were such good friends,"
she murmured.
"I don't want to press you—" I con
tinued.
"I should hope not," she returned,
her absurd sense of the ludicrous up
permost, as usual. "Mr. Livingston, I'll
try and forget this —this indiscretion.
I've no love to give you. It's better to
be frank, isn't it? Don't frown, and
don't sulk. You are such a nice boy."
"Boy!" I ejaculated. "I am 2G. Do
you know that Valerus Corvus was con
sul at 23? Boy, indeed!"
"You provoke me, Mr. Livingston.
Let's suppose for an instant that I
could return this love of yours; are
you in a position to support a wife?"
"I swear I could support a dozen —
upon thetermsyou mention. Your love
would spur me to Titanic efforts."
She laughed outright. And I lost my
temper.
"If j'ou look at this from a dollars
and cents point of view, Miss Gerard, T
have nothing more to say."
"That is spoken like a man," she
said, mockingly. Truly, the fiend of
mischief possessed her.
"Xanc3'," I cried, cut to the quick by
her scornful words, "why are you so
cruel? Is a man's love so small a thing
that you can afford to fling it aside?"
ller mood suddenly changed, and,
halting, she confronted me with flash
ing eyes.
"For your sake," she said, with dig
nity, "I made light of your love. We
are here together, living in the same
house, meeting a dozen times a day. I
did my best to patch up the woof of our
friendship, but you have chosen to
burst the stitches. I tried to spare you,
and a man of tact would have appreci
ated my effort. I have no love to give
you, Mr. Livingston, because —because
my life is already pledged to another.
I pity you from the bottom of my heart.
Good night."
She walked away, leaving me abashed
and speechless.
"Hugo," I murmured, softly, "you are
a fool."
Having registered myself among the
vast majority of my fellows, I trudged
moodily towards the island. My
thoughts followed Xancy, but my foot
steps pointed in the opposite direction
—a fact which furnished me with meat
for reflection. Was I destined to love
this fair woman and leave her? Mor
ally and Intellectually Xancy had be
come the magnet which swayed my fac
ulties; what if my wretched body were
constrained to bear mc henceforward
from —not to —her?
Chewing this bitter cud, I rapidly ap
proached the island. Already I had
come to the margin of the lake. En
circled with tules and bulrushes, it
gleamed cold and placid in the moon
shine. In the winter its surface was
covered with wild fowl—geese, ducks
and occasional swans. To-night not a
living creature met my eje. Solitude
reigned supreme.
Skirting the fules, I came to a point
of land so near to the island that a stone
might be thrown from one to the other;
and across the channel I noted a boat
moored to a post and a light twinkling
in the window of the hut. To attract
the notice of the Greek I shouted—
louder than Stentor —thrice. At the
third shout the door of the hut opened
and I could see plainly the huge body
of Demetrius filling the entrance and
outlined sharply agakiet the back
ground of light.
"Who is it?" His bass voice rolled
sonorously rcross the water.
"I—Hugo Livingston."
11c turned and entered the hut, shut
ting' the door. For a moment I sus
pected that he meant to ignore my
presence, but I was mistaken. He ap
peared again almost immediately and
walked slowly towards the boat. A
minute later he w as by my side.
"Good evening," he said, tranquilly.
"I came here," I began, bluntly, "to
tell you that I am not the fool you take
me for. You can impose upon Mr. Ge
rard, but not upon me. I saved you
only yesterday from committing a das
tardly murder."
"I'm not ungrateful," he returned,
softly.
"What lies between you and Burling
ton is unknown to me. A furious per-,
sonal hate upon both sides, I suspect—
a hate which the facts hardly warrant.
Mr. Gerard has suffered torment at the
hands of the enemy, hut you are merely
a paid servant." I spoke harshly, aflame
with repugnance. Demetrius listened
to my words in respectful silence. "I
say you are a servant, but you are usurp
ing the functions of a master. How
dare you lay a trap for mc?"
"A trap?" he repeated. "I have laid
no trap, sir."
"You lie!"
He displayed no resentment. I thought
• —it may have been fancy—that a smile
hovered upon his lips.
"You lie," I repeated, "Demetrius, as
glibly as honest men speak the truth.
You pandered to your master's fears
pqd urged him to send his family to Eu
rope with me, knowing that 1 should
refuse to leave Burlington at your mer
cy, the mercy of a coward."
He spread out his hands with a de
preciating gesture.
"Mr. Livingston, I swear that you do
me an injustice. I agreed to stay here
and watch this madman, but I had no
intention of arousing his fury by going'
j near him. The doctor and a competent
! nurse have him in charge. I .suggested
' to Mr. Gerard that you bliould take
M.ark to Europe because you know
: Europe and because you can teach the
boy what I cannot."
"Yes—honesty," I said, with em
phasis.
J "What happened yesterday, Mr. Liv- ;
i infrsten. justifies these taunts. I've
' terved Mr. Gerard faithfully—he saved
! me from starvation, or a v. orse fate —
! and, seeingr his relentless enemy at last
lin my I —l lost my head. Vou
; save'l me, as you say, from the crime of
| murder, and from the bottom of my
! heart I thank you."'
j Ilis extraordinary fluency of speech
took me aback. AL; xons, as a
rule, express themselvi > unreadily
that a freely flowing diction almost be- :
wilders.
"Keep your thanks till I ask for them.
| X promised to hold mv tonirue about
what occurred in the cave, but your |
action to-night absolves me from that
promise. Eefore Ipo to bed Mr. Gerard i
shall be placed iu possession of the j
facts. We will see, then, what he will ;
say."
In the moonlight I could see his lips j
j whiten and quiver. I noted these signs
of distress with much satisfaction. 1
They proclaimed the absence of col- j
Jutuon between the Greek and Gerard.
"For God's sake, sir, don't tell him i
that."
"You've left me no choice in the mat
ter."
lie to urge me to keep silenc,-.
employing 1 such arguments as his pro
lific brain afforded. When he had ex
hausted these I shook my head.
"Will >ou think this over, sir?" he
pleaded. "Sleep upon it, axid remember
that flve-and-tvventj- years of faithful
service are at stake."
"Very well," I replied. "I'll think it
over. As for sleep, I watch to-night in
Burlington's room. There will be no
sleep for me."
He thanked me for the 12 hours* grace,
but I cut him short.
"Mr. Livingston, pardon me, but are
you not afraid of being alone with that
madman ? II is injuries are not so severe
as—"
"As you could wish, Demetrius. It est
assured, my friend, that the prospect
of spending the nig-bt with Mr. Burling
ton does not scare me at all. I don't
think he could move if ho tried. And,
in my ease, I'm stronger than he."
"Yes," he answered, quietly, scanning
me from head to heel, "you arc a power
ful young man; but in a fight the vic
tory iloes not always re«t with the
strongest. I wish, sir, you could trust
me. My friendship is worth having.
Give me your word, Mr. Livingston, that
you will not smirch my character, and
make me your friend for life."
The oily smoothness of his tones dis
gusted me, and I answered, roughly:
"Your friendship, Demetrius, has no
value in my eyes. And I tell you frauk
]y t.h:it o?io flight will make no breach
in my determination. As sure as I'm
standing here I shall tell Mr. Gerard the
truth the very iirst thing to-morrow
morning."
"So be it," he answered, sullenly.
I watched him as he strode to the boat,
a state.lv figure, but a personality that
aroused in me nothing but distrust and
aversion, lie untied the painter, pushed
off from the .shore, pulled across the

"My life Is already pledged to anotiaer.**
I swung upon my heel and walked
rapidly away.
Mark Gerard, I found, had sot left the
dining-room, lie had sat there sni"k
ing cigar after cigar, and the air was
heavy with the fumes of his strong pei -
fectos. The contrast between the salt
breeze from the ocean and the overpow
ering atmosphere of that close dining
room was no more salient, perhaps, than
thedifEerence between the llugo Living
ston of a week ago and the tired, distrac
ed individual of to-day. I accepted a
cigar, in self-defense, and a chair.
"Well, my friend, you've seen Deme
trius?"
"Yes."
"He's not quite the coward you
thought, eh? I told you—didn't I?
that 1 was a coward tnyseilf, and I can
recognize the symptoms in others.
Demetrius docs not know the meaning
of the word fear."
"That remains to be proved."
"Just so. Will you give hiin the
chance, and take my people to Europe?
Place as many miles between this devil
nnd Murk as you can. 1 should think
you'd jump at such an opportunity."
"You are very generous, sir."
"Of course I am. I like you, Hugo. 1
recognize in you the qualities which I
lack myself—strength, courage, inflexi
bility. So it's settled, eh ?"
"I'm at your service, Mr. Gerard."
"And 1 can use you to the best of ad
vantage. I like to use men. And 1 pay
them handsomely. There is Demetrius."
"He must have grown rich in your
service;, and yet—"
"Speak out. And yet—what?"
"He has brains," I said, "and he might
have aspired to be something more than
your mere servant."
"lie aspired, once, to be my partner.
Lucky for him that 1 chose another
man."
I waited, and the explanation came,
between puffs of smoke:
"I educated Demetrius to assistmeln
my business. I was not 30 when 1
found him running barefoot in New
York; but I recognized at once in him
J those qualities and faculties which,
j properly trained, bring a man to the
| front. Isut Demetrius proved too smart,
much to my disappointment, and I had
to show him his place. We were at
Black Gulch then; and I was engaged in
the most extensive mining operations.
Demetrius was my right bower, but he
continually overstepped instructions.
. lie thought he knew it all—eh? Well
I had to have a partner; a man v. bom I
could talk to ar.d control; a consena
tivc man, v. ho would furbish the motive
pov. IT, the running here and there, and
let me do the | laa::i: gin peace. Such
a fellow was right to my hand —poor
Ferdinand Per!:ins. It-must have been

know, ha been my greatest joy and my

I pitied him profoundly as 1 walked

j cording to George Kliot, is the root of

What a paradox the man was! What

, many material respects a mind of the
! largest scope —and also of the smallest
i—a mind at once of the finest and
I coarsest texture. His financial eombln
i ations had gained him au international

i the pluckiest bulls in the stock ring.
He had the teudercst affection for his
son. But I knew him to be a seusualist
and a poltroon. Perhaps he had (he
moral equipment which in these latter
days proves the shield of success, the
aegis against which the slirgs and ar
r >v. s of a debauched and unscrupulous
press rattle in vain.
The prolWsicna! nurse assured me
that the patient had rested easily and
had taken a surprising amount of nour
ishment. The slight symptoms of fe\er

the liniments caused less pain. He lay

s:cme!ess, apparently, to the outer
world. I received careful instructions
as to diet and massage, and then the
nurse left me.
The room was the one usually occu
pied by Demetrius. It had two doors
and a window. One door communicated
with the passage, and the other with
Mark's bedroom, now vacant. Here, the
nurse toid ;ne, I should find coffee and
light refreshments. A drawn portiere
hung between the rooms, but the door
was open, and a lamp burned brightly
upon Mark's table, furnishing sufficient
light for the room beyond, where Bur
lington lay. The nurse warned me to
leave this lamp where it was: too much
light, he said, was bad for his patient.
I took my seat by the head of the
bed, with my back to the portiere and
facing the window. The lower sash was
up, and I could see and hear the ocean.
I mention these details as briefly as pos
sible, but they are important, as the
sequel will prove.
For an hour at least 1 watched Isur
lington's impassive features. 1 am no
physiognomist, but. unless my experi
ence was entirely at fault, this man
had the head of neither a cr::n:r. *i iv" a
maniac. The brows vrp ■ • rr-» 1
iofty; the mouth was beautifully mod
eled, but disfigured by deep lines run
ning from nostril to jawbone. nis
hands were the next to attract my at
tention, and again I marveled at the
curious concatenation of circumstances
which had warped a nature unquestion
ably designed for good rather than evil
purposes. Perhaps the fact that Nancy's
father was the object of my examina
tion perverted my judgment; but sit
ting there in the dimly-lit room, with
the lullaby of the> Pacific in my ears, I
came to the amazing conclusion that
Burlington was guiltless of the murder
of Perkins, that his wife had been the
victim of circumstantial evidence, that
Gerard had fallen a prey to his natural
pusillanimity. Then I suddenly be
thought me of the telegrams, and my
imagination wilted.
As my eyes still rested upon the
sinewy hands with their strong spat
ulato fingers, Burlington addressed me
by name. His voice was much stronger,
and the intonation clear, indicating au
unclouded brain.
"Are we alone?" he asked, not mov
ing his head.
"Yes," said I; "but don't talk."
"I must," he replied, impatiently.
"I've focussed all my strength for that
very purjiose. I want to see Mrs. Ger
ard to-morrow."
He was certainly mad, I decided, and
must be humored.
"Yes, yes," I murmured, soothingly,
"of course you shall see Mrs. Gerard.'
"I don't know what the devil you
mean by 'of course,' " he s*iid, irritably.
"There are serious difficulties in the
way. She was once my wife, the very
light of my eyes. And she left me —
me," I noted the accent of pride—"for
that slave of l'lutus, Mark Gerard. I
let her go, d —n her, without a word.
But she is not anxious to see me. again,
I'll warrant."
I was too astonished to reply.
"I may have to employ you," he con
tinued, calmly, "as a go-between. Mark
Gerard is welcome to my wife, but the
girl is mine, and I w ant her."
"Xancy?" I gasped.
"Is that her name?" paid he. "Yes,
she's mine. I claim the girl."
He spoke so calmly, so sanely, that I
forgot my duty as nurse, and spoke out
impulsively:
"You claim that girl, knowing the
reason which drove her mother from
j our house?"
"Do you know the reason, Livings
ton?"
"I do."
"Then, in the name of God, share that
kitiowledge with me Heavens! how my
head reels!"
I tried; in vain to calm him, but he
demanded imperatively an answer to
his appeal.
"Why did she leave me?" he repeated.
"1 made her a ; d husband. I dture
say I was jealous of other men —Gerard
in particular —but that was a proof of
love. I worked like a slave for that
woman--worked till my health broke
down, and then, just when 1 needed her
most, site deserted . The girl was
bom months after th: and I supposed
she was the child of t.nard. To-day—
this morning—l opei I'd n:y eyes and
saw my face stamped u. heirs. She
is a Burliugton all over. I swear it.
How dared that woman rob me of my
child? I've lain here, Livingston,
all this day, eating what they gave im*,
submitting to that, aw ful rubbing, pray
ing, ay, praying for strength to recover
and claim my child."
"And Perkins?" I whispered.
His eyes met mine with the inquiring
glance of a puzzled child.
"Perkins?' he muttered. "Ferdinand
Parkins? The Greek murdered him.
I know it. I>on't let that man. coon®
near me. He's my enemy, t tell yon,
my bitter enemy! But what has Per
kins to do with me? Are you crazy?
Curse that dog! My head is splitting."
The bloodhound was baying furious
ly. but uddenly ceased. A sktink, prob
ably, skirting the lrarn, had provoked
his resentmervt.
Xot daring to pursue the subject fur

no purpose. The ]>ain waxed fiercer
and fiercer, till the man positively quiv
ered beneath my touch. The doctor,
foreseeing such a contingency, had sent
a composing draught, with instructions.
I hastily administered a full dose, and
watche<l it take effect. Burlington, be
neath the influence of the drug. elo*»ed
his eyes, and within five minutes was
peacefully asleep. I .resumed my place
by his side, and tried to muster my ram
pant thoughts. Aeolus wrestling with
his turbulent winds had a lighter task.
Oi»«sid© the moon and srtars were ob
scured by fog, which had rolled in from
the ocean, thick aad dank with the
spume of the sea, blotting from my view
the shimmering waters, and banishing
the grateful breeze. One might scarce
ly believe that one short hour ago the
prospect had been clear —that with the
morning sun these clouds, so clammily
oppressive, would be once more swept
away.
Suddenly my car caught the sound of
i footstep, ami I sprang from my chair
uith a muttered exclamation. Some
one was in the next room!
At that moment the lamp was extin
guished, and I found myself in bewil
dering darkness.

THE CALAMITY BUZZARD.
Ho shriek* For More Misery and
ITULN.
From the Kansas City Journal.
Tho buzzard is the most despised crea
ture of the feathered kingdom. It lacks
the courage of but surpasses in appetite
all other birds of prey. It attacks only
the helpless. It pursues the enfeebled
lamb until its victim falls of fright or
exhaustion, and then it feeds upon the
carcass. It scents decay from afar, and
no morsel is too putrid for its stomach.
Like unto this loathsome vulture is
the chronic agitator—editor or orator—
who thrives upon the distresses of his
fellow creature. He finds nothing to
his taste in the healthful or the normal.
He craves calamity, and when there is
none of it to feed upon he becomes
gaunt and restive.
Seeking the overthrow of established
laws and customs, but lacking the
courage of his vicious purposes, he ag
gravates every form of industrial or so
cial disturbance, and by malicious falsi
fication, dire predictions and subtle ca
jolery plays upon the passions of the
weak or distressed until they are In
flamed to violence. He rejoices at strife
and bloodshed and uses them to spread
discontent and bring about hatred of
the laws and those who execute them.
Since the era of prosperity has set in
the calamity buzzard has had poor
picking to gratify his voracious appe
tite, which had been glutted to satia
tion during the hard times. Of late he
has been feeding on the miners' strike
of the east, which was conducted much
too conservatively to suit his purposes.
But at last —just before a settlement
was reached —the seeds of dissension and
revolution, which he had sown with a
liberal hand, bore fruit in the Hazleton
riot and its lamentable results.
Now behold this carrion bird. Once
more he has a carcass to feed upon.
The delight of the calamity editor is
attested by revolutionary and anarch
istic screeds. While good citizens de
plore the awful tragedy and are ready
to censure those responsible, but urge
reason and moderation, this carrion
eater revels in the slaughter. In the
midst of his ghoulish feast he cries for
more. With his destructive beak and
cruel talons, dripping with the blood of
his poor dupes, he shrieks for more vic
tims, for more discord, for more strife,
for more resistance to constituted au
thority, for more anarchy, misery and
ruin.

From the Ilarrisburg News.
There is decidedly very little good po-
Utii-.i 1 judgment behind the inovemi-nt in
Pittsburg urging the election of \V. R.
Thompson, of that city, as an Independ
ent Republican candidate for state treas
urer. Mr. Thompson made no canvass
for the nomination prior to the state con
vention. as he should have done had he
aspired to thu honor at that time. The
whole state was open to him to urge his
raiiwi- as it was to James S. Beacom.
The announcement of his candidacy for
state treasurer without even considering
it necessary to have a running mate for
auditor general leads many to believe
that his candidacy Is a movement more
for personal revenge against Candidate
Beacom that it is through an honorable
ambition to be state treasurer. Such be
ing the case there Is no reason why the
Republicans of Pennsylvania should pull
his chestnuts out of the tire, especially
when two Republican candidates for state
treasurer would threaten the defeat of.

gracefully get out of the tight, for there
is not a particle of chance of him win

In l<ss than a month the election will

It Is an o(T year, which always brings

The close of the first 60 days of the

The two periods from July 24 to Sept.
24. in the years of 1593 and 1897, re

Th«- following editorial appeared In a
retvnt i.-vue of Editor Schoch's Mlfilln
burg Telegraph:
What Is Republican duty this year?
'Tis plain—undivided, harmonious sup
port of the stute and county ticket. Hers
anil there we hear that some good Re
publican proposes to vote for Swallow,
a retired M. K. minister, for state treas
urer, the Prohibition candidate—this, he
says, to correct legislative evils, to stop
this buying of soap, toilet articles, etc.,
and employment of a few extra clerks
and scrub women. Oh my, what folly!
Swallow, 'tis true, is cute and clever—
some say a demagogue clean cut through
and through—certain It is he Is obtain
ing a circulation for his paper, which,
to a man up a tree, seems to be his main
object in this contest. Well, let him
work that chromo, get his circulation
and be happy.
The Republican candidate for state
treasurer. Hon. James S. Beaeom, o<
Westmoreland county, is a modest, un
as.-uniing. stainless man—the noble son
of a beloved Methodist minister. He
docs not pose as one of the "better than
thou" people—a saint without blemish—
nor even a smeller after evil in others;
but he is what we must all admire, a
man of the strictest integrity, of unblem
ished character, a grand Republican—a
persistent and efficient worker for the
party—pre-eminently able and deserving
and in all aspects of the case entitled to
the vote of every Republican.
Kqually meritorious is Major Levi O.
McCauley. of Chester county, the Repub
lican candidate for auditor general. He
was a splendid soldier during the late
war, served in that famous corps, the
Pennsylvania reserves, whose battalions
fought from Dralnesvllle to Appomattox;
and in the battle before the enemy's cap
ital he had an arm shot away. Add to
this his splendid civic record, his fealty
to the cause of Republicanism and his
high standing as a most reputable>eitl
xen. and you have all the elements that
go to make up a man qualified for the
position of auditor general.
If abuses exist in the party or In the
legislature the Republican people will
see to it that the remedial process is
worked out by the party and a Repub
lican legislature. Trust not your enemy
to work reform in your own household.
If necessary you can do that business
very neatly yourself. Hit not the or
ganization right on the heels of a vic
torious presidential election, the result
of which election being so beneficial to
the farmer, manufacturer, mechanic and
laboring man. Hit the calamity howler.
Resolve to do the right thing once again
—vote the straight Republican ticket.
POLITICAL PROHIBITION.
It Has Keen Abandoned Wherever
Tried.
At a public meeting of a religious as
sociation recently held at Steelton, Pa.,
remarks were made by a number of cler
gymen and laymen. Mr. Joseph Kearns,
of Harrlsburg, Pa., delivered a stirring
address, concluding with the following,
which will be found to be seasonable,
forceful and truthful reading:
"No. my friends, the state treasurer can
not in his official capacity either help or
hurt the cause which Is so dear to our
hearts, the sacred cause of total absti
nence. Did I say he could not hurt It?
] am wrong. He could and does hurt It
by dragging It In where it does not be
long, where the Prohibition heresy has
already dragged it and made it a subject
of ridicule an« contempt. You are pur
suing the right course. Continue on in
that course. Wield with a mighty arm
the sword of the spirit, of moral suasion,
of precent, of example, and of prayer,
but let the sword of the ballot and the
demagogues who advocate It alone.
Every effort to stop the use of strong
drink by legislation in the past has failed.
We can only judge the future by the past.
Make men personal prohibitionists, and
then every saloon, brewery and distillery
In the land will close their doors. Tea,
and the speakeasy, also. Yes, and the
opium joint as well, two Institutions that
have ever flourished where legislative
prohibition prevailed, either of which fc
Infinitely worse than the licensed saloon
regulated by law and under police sur
velllance. Continue to create & healthy
public sentiment on the question of In
temperance. Make men feel it Is a dis
grace to be Intoxicated or as
habitual tipplers; that it is wrong, sin
ful, and Infamously cowardly to drink
In secret and then openly profess to be
temperance men, as I personally know
some loud mouthed political temperance
fellows to do.
■ If Prohibition prohibits, If it is a cure
for the evils of drink, why has It been
abandoned where it has been tried? New
York tried It in 1K54 and after two years'
trial gave it up. Illinois tried it In 1885,
but the people repudiated It at the polls.
Massachusetts had it for II years and
abandoned it. Atlanta, Qa., had It one
year and repudiated it overwhelmingly.
Connecticut tried it in 1854. kept it 18
years and kicked it out in 1872. Ohio and
Maryland both tried it In 1855 and both
gave It up after live months' sad experi
ence. Delaware had it In 1855 and repealed
It In 1557. Wisconsin enacted it twice and
the executive vetoed it both times. Rhode
Island enacted It in 1853 and abandoned
it in 1863. Michigan enacted It In 1853 and
repealed It in 1875. Indiana and Nebraska
enacted It in 1555 and repealed It in 1856.
Texas, Tennessee. Oregon, Michigan,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New
Hampshire all voted on It within the
past 15 years and buried It out of sight."

can candidates in state and county be
yond a doubt. The Democracy is divided
beyond hope of reconciliation on the
economic questions of the day. The Pro
hibitionists have forsaken the principles
and traditions of their party for the
purpose of getting Into power and are
not talking prohibition at all, but are
engaged in the abuse of the Republican
party, something that has always been
mere congenial to them than the advo

The Republican party has nothing to
fear from the threats of its enemies. It
appeals to the poor man. the business
man and the soldier, as it has done in
years gone by, and gives them proof of
its sincerity. It makes no attempt to
disguise the real Issues or to go masked
In order to carry public favor. The re
turn of prosperity to the country is a
fulfillment of its pledge to enact a tariff
law such as It has done with hotlceable
and flattering results. No party whose
achievements have been so marked and
whose power has been continuous could

Blood and Thunder.
I Somehow the boys of nowadays
Ain't what they uned to be.
When Billy Jones an ail his crowd
Csvorted round with roe.
Then redskins lurked in each back yar4.
An bloody pirates, too,
An corpses ntrewed the town at night
When him an me wus through.
But now the kids got on a wheel
An wabble up the street
An never play st cowboys
Nor at bcin Black Browned Pete.
We used to hoist the skUU an bono
Above our reckless orew,
An folk* could tell a fight wus on
'Foro liim an me wax through.
But now boys reads the papers.
An tliey never spends a dime
To see how old Jack Harkaway
Oould win out every time.
We useter have our pennies np
Until the books cum due.
An they wqz always well thumbed np
Wheu him an mu wv* through.
