A MOENI^.GLORY.?
NCE upon a
where in Some
body's garden
there grew a
Morning Glory
vine. Nobody
knew how it
came there, for
110 one had planted it, but it was a
pretty little thing, with green hearts
for leaves and cunning little palegreen
curls here and there upon its fuzzy
stem., s-r-
She wanted to get off of th^|r%und
•where she had been all her short life,
so shercrept slowly along to find some
thing to take hold of that she might
•climb high up into the bright sunlight.
She put out her tender tendrils and
felt carefully along, for she was blind
poor little thing, and could not. see
where she was going.
As she reached out she felt some
thing hard. "Ah, perhaps this is
something high," thought Morning
Glory, so she crawled up the side
quite to the top but she was not
high at all—not much higher than on
the ground—for it was only a sfcone
eh at she had found so she quietly
crept down the other side, and lay
there quite discouraged.
There was an old man who used to
take care of Somebody's garden, and
he saw this plant growing there and
groping about for a support, so he
fastened a string from a peg stuck
into the ground up to Somebody's
window sill, and then he quite forgot
all about it.
The next morning the Morning Glory
felt more cheerful, and 6he started
upon her search again. She had not
I far to go this time, because the kind
old man had fastened the peg very
near to where she lay so she
reached about with caution to avoid
another stone, and took hold of.the
string.
The poor, sightless little thing did
not know that the old man had put
it there for her, but somehow she felt
that it would lead her where she wished
to go—up toward the beautiful sky
and the great golden sun.
So she climbed along the string,
slowly at first, then faster each day
as she began to know the way, until
like Jack's beanstalk, she had
1 reached the window-sill.
Now, somebody, the person who
owned the garden, was ill so ill that
he had to stay always in his room
with an ugly .black bandage over'his
eyes, and the doctors feared that he
might never see a^ain.
He was very unhappy, and was
often—oh, so very!—cross and the ser
vants quite feared him when he spoke
to them in a harsh and authoritative
voice.
He had no relatives, and he lived
quite alone in his great house, with
many people to wait upon him and
with, ever so much money to buy
things to make him happy. But the
things that one bu3rs do not always
make one happy, and he was terribly
wretched in his big, fine house.
One morning he groped his way to
the open window and put his hand
out upon the side of the frame, and he
felt a little sharp nail. Now, if he had
been gentle the nail would not have
hurt him, for it was a harmless
little |thing but he made a rough,
impatient movement, and it caught
his finger and brused it a little.
This made Somebody very angry,
and he said some very unpleasant
things about the person who dared to
put a. nail outside his window, and he
felt about, very cautiously this time,
to find the nail once more, that he
might tear it out.
So he moved his hand slowly along
lUpon the sill, and the Morning Glory
was reaching her little hand about
there at the same time, and their two
•hands met.
One did not.look at all like a hand,
but it was one just the same, and the
little green hand grasped the great
white.one and fchay seemed to know
and to understand«each other at once,
for the little green hand said to the
large white one very tenderly, "Oh! so
you ane'blind, too! 'Lam so sorry!"
The great hand, did oiot try to find
the nail .after that. ,it flwst touched the
.MorningijSloKy with &>saft caress and
ttwo great .dropsiell upoo her leaves.
'. 'They felt strangely a,rad.net at all like
*&<» cool xam. drops which .sometimes
•watered the Morning.Glory, Andsome
•thfcig cold &ar that these diBop3 were

,. Now, after tlasa, these two-^Some

love each other yery dearly, and .each
$"-" day they would feel About for one an

One morning the Morning Glory
brought her friend a surprise. She
had kept it a secret all the while, and
now she proudly put a great beauti
ful pink blossom into his hand. He
could not see thWt' it^Aa^ink, but. he
felt that it was lovely, and he kissed'
the pretty flower' and. murmured,
"You little beauty," janS-' that made
the Morning Gl.ory very happy, for all
.mothers dearly lojrev.to have their
babies'aflmiredj' y"m know.'-
And the next morning Somebody
had a surprise for the Morning Glory.
That was a secret too/' No one knew
it yet but the doctor, and Somebody
drew*the little Morning Glory close to
his lips and whispered it into her ear.
Then the little green ,hand twined
about the great white one and this is
what it said: V.I am .so glad that you
are not going to be blind any more."
And Somebody understood it, and
the' Morning Glory again felt two
grea't warm drOpV which shd knjjw to
be tears, but they were not bitter,
like the first ones they were very
sweet, because they ..were Jears of
i°y *'. 7~ .- .s
After this Somebody went away
and was gone a long time. The weeks
passed' and he did not return, and the
little Morning Glory was very sad she
felthurt at .he had left her so sud
denly and with no word of adieu.
Everything -Was in a state of great
bustle and preparation all over the
place. Little Morning Glory could
hear-'them hammering, and running
about, and she felt that something
was going to happen. Ohceshecaught
the word "bride," and something told
her what it all meant, and a little
jealous pain went' through her heart,
for she had once overheard the house
maid telling the cook that all men
were fickle, and that when they were
away-irona -one they never thought of
one at all, and were taken up with
whoever was nearest them, and the
cook had agreed fully with all that
the housemaid had said, and the cook
knew men if any one did, she said.
So little Morning Glory hung her
leaves in sadness and quite forgot to
feel proud of her pretty pink babies—
for there were a great many of them
now.
Once she felt something tug at her
roots and a rough hand grasped her
then a kind voice said: "Don't touch
that master loved the little vine, and
it must be left as it is." Oh! how re
lieved little Morning Glory felt at these
words. She reached out and tried to
touch the speaker, but the maid hur
ried away and never saw the little
green hands at aM.
Soon the nights began to be chilly,
and one by one her babies left her and
fluttered to the ground, and she her
self grew pale and felt very weak and
ill, and she feared that she was going
to die. Ho she wished that Some
body "would come back she feared he
would be too late.
One morning she heard, the door
open and Somebody again, stood
there there was some one with him.
now, a beautiful lady, and he held her
in his arms and called her "Sweet
heart." In his new happiness he had
quite forgotten his little friend and
Morning Glory's heart ached as she
remembered- what the maid had told
the cook.
Just then Somebody looked out and
saw poor little Morning Glory with
her leaves all faded Jand brown, and
he reproached himself because he had
not thought of her before.
"Here, dearest," he said to the lady,
"this is the little.friend that I told
you of," and lie laid the withered little
stem in the lady's delicate hand.
A glad thrill ran through the Morn
ing Glory and she dropped 60 tiny
seeds into the soft open palm then
as the wind swept around the corner
a sudden shudder seized her, and little
Morning Glory was dead.
"See! my pet," said Somebody,
pointing to thelittleblack seeds, "that
means good luck it is her gift to l!he
bride."
And'the beautiful lady smiled, and
she put the seeds in a little box, say
ing, "Next year we will have another
Morning Glory vine there just like the
old one."
"No," said Somebody, "never one
quite like that, for that one was like
a lit tie friend it really seemed to un
derstand me. But, then, I don't
need any one to understand me now,
for I have you," and again the lady
was folded in loving embrace and
Somebody ikissed her softly.—Chicago
Times.
NO POLES IN CHINA,

There are no telegraph poles in
Chna. No because there are no
telegraph lines, nor yet because there
are not wood suitable for poles.
Strangely enough, says the St. Louis
Glofse Democrat, the reason is purely
religious. The Chinese worship their
dead fathers and grandfathers, and
in regard the resting place of their

it a sacrifice to allow a shadow to be
cast upon their graves. T{
When the {linemen of the

of inhabitants who followed them

[HOK. T. B. REED, in New York Press.]
But while the. Democratic House
has failed in all, other respects, the
most signal failure has been in the
matter of economy. All the circum
stances conspire to make that failure
conspicuous." The abuse which was
poured" upon..the.last Congress
comes back with added force on this,
and the time has now come to dojus
tice to one of the most really econom
ical statesmen we ever had, the Hon
Joseph G. Cannon.. His conduct as
chairman of Appropriations in the
Fifty-first Congress was worthy of all
praise. was careful, economical,
upright and just, and \ha always
deserved well of his country. People
do not realize the tremendous pres
sure there was on the Fiftyr
first Congress, andt how very hand
somely Mr. Cannon stood up against
it," and how well he was backed
by his associates. You must remem
ber that the Democracy, as part of
their scheme to pile up a furplus and
break down the tariff, had refused to
pay even the honest debts of. the
Government. The result was the ac
cumulation of a great surplus revenue
and an overflowing Treasury. The.
natural result of-such an accumula
tion is alwaysthe same, It engenders
proposals to send it. It is the tend
ency of piled up money to scatter.
The rivers and harbors at once de
manded more. Public buildings called
for thousands here and thousands
there. The so'diers were not recon
ciled to be left out of the distribution.
New projects sprang up on either
hand. Notwithstanding all this pres
sure the Congress of 189 0 provided
for the expenditure of onlv $463,
000,000. Thisfe sum seemed at
the time immense, and there is
perhaps little wonder that great feel
ing was exhibited and great
astonishment expressed. But it is
now plainly visible to all men that
this sum, large as it was, was but the
adequate expr ssion of the honest ex
penditures of a great Government,
which has grown every year beyond
even the wildest hopes of its people.
In the present session of Congress Mr.
Holman has had to stand up against
no unusual pressure, such as Mr. Can
non encountered. No one has failed
to learn that the surplus has been
paid out and the revenue reduce J, -so
as to be only sufficient forthexurpose
of goveinment honestly and econom
ically admins tered.
Mr, Holman and his friends even
went further. They strove with some
success to frighten the American peo
ple with the declaration, oft-repeated
by the mouths of his lieutenants,
Governor Savers and Mr. Dockery,
that the income was unequal to the
needed expenditures. With a House
elected on a platform of economy,
with over 140. majority, a majority
larger than the whole opposition, we
naturally expected some reduction of
what Democratic orators call the
public burdens. I confess that I was
myself astonished to find that not
only were the appropriations of the
first session of this Congress to exceed
the appropriations of the first session
of the last Congress, but they were to
exceed them by the enormous sum of
•$50,000,000. My surprise was
very much heightened by the
fact JJJthat day after day I
had seen appropriations manifestly
inadequate Carried through the House
against all argument and fact by sheer
force of number^. The present condi
tion of things is an overpowering tes
timony, not only to the growth of the
country, but to the integrity and
economy of the Committee on Appro
priations, of which Mr. Cannon was
.the head. The debate in the Senate
of July 2 6 shows, moreover, that
even the $510,000,000 appropriated
have not reached the needs of the
country. Mr. Allen, of Washington,
shows that a lighthouse has been
thrown out which should have been
built, on a spot which has already
cost the country the lives of many
men, and Mr. Allison shows that one
item at least* c\f large amount has
been lessened on the demand of the
House by the simple expedient of eut
ing off one-half, with the understand
ing that it shall, go on next year's
deficiency bill. I want to call your
readers' attention to this simple fact,
even at the expense of reiteration and
of be.:ng tiresome. We expended
$462,000,000 the first session of the
Fifty first Congress. We were abused
most roundly therefor. The lowest
figures any Democrat cnn now make
for his Congress is $510,000,000.
These figures are undisputed. The
moral is indisputable, ^m-% »s

THE DISMAL FIGURES.'"
A Democratic Newspape Lament
the Failure of a Democratic Con
gress.
There could be no more striking il
lustration of the tolly of irresponsible
Democrats in the Fifty-second House
than is afforded by Mr Holman's at
tempt to defend the record of the
majority in the matter of appropria
tions.
make a showing of reduction and
retrenchment in the total for the ses
sion, Mr. Holman is obliged to com
pare that total with the figures for
the second session of the Billion Con
gress, instead of the figures for the
first session, where the comparison
properly belongs. What the Fifty
second Congress Avill do at its second
session no human being can foretell.
A material reduction from the total
of its first session is rather the sub
ject af hope than of prediction. But
it remains true, everything being con
sidered, that the record of
the Democratic House in the
matter of appropriations is a be
trayal of the voters who elected it on
the issue of economy, a repudiation
of its own professions and promises,
and a shame and disgrace to the
party.
Already the attempt has gun to
explain and excuse and extenuate the
failure of the overwhelmingly Demo
cratic majority in the present House
to fulfill its mission. This course is
regarded as good campaign pol
icy. We do not think so. We believe
that it is good campaign policy to
state the tacts exactly as they are, to
hold Democratic sinners to their full
measure ofresponsibility, and to se
cure, if possible, a Democratic major
ity in the Fifty-third House which will
not imitate the reckless, selfish, and
almost criminal extravagance of the
money-scatterers of the Fiftyrsec*
ond.—N. Y. Sun, Dem.
Protection and he Farmer.
"It seems me self-evident that
protection tends to shorten the dis
tance between the farmer and the ar
tesan and manufacturer, hence to di
minish the cost of exchanging their
respective products, and thus to se
cure to the farmer not only surer and
steadier markets for his produce, but
an ampler recompense for his labors.
Such are the conclusions that long aero
made ,m a protectionist. Distant
markets are all but inevitably incon
sistent, uncertain- markets. Europe
has de/Scient harvests one year and
buys grain of us quite freely/but next
year-hrr harvests are bounteous and
she l-equires very little more food than
she produce
3
no matter how freely we
may be buying of her fabrics. Hence
our wheat now se'ls very farbelowthe
price which ruled here when Europe
had a meager harvest. A remote mar
ket virtually restricts the farmer to
two or three great staples, while near
markets enable him to diversify his
products and thus maintain and in
crease the productive capacity of the
soil."—Hor-ace Greely.
