Edward Kane, a boy 13 years old
living at Kickapoo, was dragged to
death Friday. The lad was driving a
pony just puchased for him, when the
animal ran away and he was thrown
from a wagon. His foot caught in a
spring and he was dragged for a mile.
TWO PROSPERITY ITEJIS.
Prosperity In Delaware.
The cry for food has been going up
from the families of the 600 idle iron
workers for weeks is becoming louder
every moment. The situation is so
alarming that the Rev. F. M.Munson,
rector of the Episcopal church, has ap
pealed from the pulpit for subscrip
tions to buy food and fuel for the suf
ferers. A special commission has investi
gated the situation by entering the
homes of the sufferers to ascertain
their condition. In one block in Clay
ton street in the extreme western sec
tion of the town six families were
found on the verge of starvation.
A woman was found who had been
feeding her three children on the peel
ings of potatoes found in the alley.
Fifty families have left the town in
the past week to escape starvation.
Several storekeepers are on the verge
Of bankruptcy. Eighteen hundred
persons in the town are suffering from
the lack of food and fuel. Newcastle

Where In It?
What is the matter with prosperity?
Where has it strayed? Trade is dull
and the country is not prosperous
The party press generally fixed Jan
uary 1 as the date of the betrinnintr of
good times. Two months have since
expired, but no noticeable improve
ment of the wretched times is mani
fest. The tide will soon set in strone-
ly against the Republican party un
less tne depression in business is al
tered. Idleness and want breed a bit
ter discontent, which will never be
overcome until there are ample em
ployments. People at present will
turn to any leadership that offers
promise of better times, believinc- that
worse times can never come than those
now existing. Wine and Spirit Gaz

A Dog's Sense.
A young girl was crossing the Pub
lic Garden the other morning upon the
main path which crossed the bridge.
She was accompanied by a magnificent
mastiff, who strode along beside her
in the most companionable sort of
way, looking up into her face occasion
ally as if to remark casually that it
was a very fine morning, or to ask if
there was anything he could do tor
her.
The two crossed the bridge together,
and finally came to the Charles street
gate. Here the young girl, evidently
not wishing to have the care of the
dog in the busy streets, turned to him
and said:
"There, that is far enough now,
Marco. You need not go with me any
farther, but turn about and go back
home."
She did not take her hands out of
her muff to point the way, and she
spoke as she would to a small brother,
in a pleasant conversational voice.
Marco looked at her with his large
eyes, then looked across the Common,
wagging his tail slowly as though he
were thinking how very pleasant it
would be to go the rest of the way.
Finally he turned back to her atrain
and with a movement of his head and
eyes asked as plainly as though the
words had come from his mouth:
"Please let me go a little farther, it is
such a fine morning."
"No, dear; I'm going shopping, you
know," answered the girl, explaining
tne dimculty, as if Marco were human.
"There'll be crowds of people, and I
shall not know what to do with you
But go along, now, there's a good fel
low, and I'll be back soon."
Without another word Marco turned
and walked back across the trardens
He did not slink away, as some dotrs
do when sent back, but marched leis
urely along with his head in the air.
stopped a moment on the bridge to
watch the children skating below,
then trotted on toward Commonwealth
Avenue. The Athenian watched him
until he had disappeared beyond the
gates, then resumed his own way,
wondering whether Darwin loved
aogs or not. Boston Record.
, The Art of Pleasing.
Give a boy address and accomplish
ments, and yon give him the mastery
or palaces and fortunes wherever he
goes. He has not the trouble of earn
ing or owning them; they solicit him
, to enter and possess." Emerson.
"With hat in hand, one gets on in
tne world." German Proverb.
"There is no policy like politeness
says Magoon; "since a good manner
oiten succeeds where the best toncm-.
has failed." The art of pleasing is
tne art ox rising In the world.
A fine illustration of the business
value of good manners is found in the
Bon Marche, an enormous establish
ment in Paris where thousands of
clerks are.employed, and where almost
everything is kept for sale. The two
distinguishing characteristi. s of the
house are one low price to all, and ex
treme courtesy. Mere politeness is
not enough; the employes must try in
every possible way to please and to
make customers feel at home. Some
thing more mast be done than is done
In other stores, so that every visitor
will remember the Bon Marche with
pleasure. By this course, the business
has been developed until it is said to
be the largest of the kind in the world.
No other advertising is so efficacious.
A. T. Stewart imitated this store in
his.
Good manners often prove a fortune
to a young man. Mr. Butler, a mer
chant iD Providence, R. I., had once
closed his store, and was on his way
home when he met a little girl who
wanted a spool of thread. He went
back, opened the store, and got the
thread. This little incident was talk
ed of all about the city, and brought
him hundreds of customers. He be
came very wealthy, largely because ot
his courtesy. Success.

nis Willard'M I.nnt Appeal.
The national officers of the W. C. T.
U. and the trustees of the Woman's
Temple will send out through all the
land the letter which Miss Willard
wrote for distribution to the people of
the United States. The letter, which
was written after Miss Willard had
been seized with her final sickness,
gives a short history of the W. C. T. U.
movement and then plunges into the
financial difficulties of the trustees of
the Temple. After telling of the pur
pose which animated the women who
built the great structure the letter
continues:
"I say it reverently, but I jdoubt if
any building in the world that has
stood for so few years has had wafted
toward it so much of tender hope, of
beautiful faith, of love for humanity
A SHRINE OF HOME PEOPLE.
"It is a shrine of the home people,
to which little children have given
their hoarded coins and toward which
the eyes of the aged have turned with
loving hope. It symbolizes a Chris
tian character, steadied and controlled
no less than a Christian home built
and protected from within by the prin
ciples of sobriety and purity. The
building is in no sense a local enter
prise. It is the great, glowing hearth
fire of the woman's crusade, and upon
it converge the loving and faithful
eyes of those who in all countries have
been winnowed from the mass that
they might be the chosen guardians of
the home in this age of varied voices
and many contradictions.
"I appeal to good men and women
who care for a clear brain, a steady-
beating heart and an untrembling
hand that they shall help us forward
until we have gained a controlling in
terest in our 'House Beautiful,' so that
with the return of better times we may
have a larger sum with which to carry
forward our lines of work and to bear
the light of the crusade torch to the
most distant lands."
MISS IOW THE CUSTODIAN OF FUNDS.
Miss Willard appointed Miss Cor
nelia Dow of Portland, Me., as custo
dian to receive the funds raised by her
for the Temple, and the national of
fleers have continued Miss Dow in
the same capacity. All ot the money
raised by them will be sent to her. G.
B. Shaw, president of the American
Trust and Savings bank, is the treas
urerof the Temple trustees and re
ceives contributions made to them.
The announcement is made that
when $225,000 has been raised in addi
tion to the amounts already pledged
the trustees will have entire control of
the Temple and will rename it "Wil
lard Temple."
California Bitten.
The heaviest frost of the season oc
curred in the southern part of the
state Friday night and serious damage
was sustained by the fruit industry.
Reports from Stockton, Fresno and
Sacramento, are to the effect that the
apricot, peach and almond crop are
ruined. Of one thousand peach buds
gathered at random from orchards in
Fresno county not one was found to
have escaped the effects of the frost
Little or no damage has been done
in San Diego county, but considerable
injury was done to the topmost buds
of blooming trees in Los Angeles
county. While the orchardists through
out the Santa Clara valley complain
of lack of moisture, no material dam
age has been done by frost so far.
To Cross the Waters.
A new air ship will shortly make a
trial trip between Grand Street park
Newtown, L. I., and Washington.
If the trip proves a success, the in
ventor, Gaetno P. Mansione, proposes
to cross the ocean.
Mansione, who is 48 years old, a na
tive of Naples and a scientific eng-in
eer, has been at work on his ship for
the past six months. He expects to
fly 15 miles an hour, as a maximum
and 120 miles as a minimum speed. In
the event of an accident to the flying
apparatus while the ship is over water
the inventor claims it can be lowered
to the surface of the water and be rap
idly converted into a boat, with a pro
peller. In this form a speed of from
10 to 20 miles an hour may be attained
The ship is in the shape of a cigar.
except that the center is greater it
proportion to the ends than in a cigar
It is 60 feet long and 20 feet in diame
ter at its greatest thickness. There
are a pair of wings, measuring 64 feet
from tip to tip, which project about 22
feet from either side of the ship.
The motive power is a secret of the
inventor. The balloon part of the
ship can carry 14,000 cubic feet of gas.
This is to be a sustaining power, the
motive power being wholly obtained
from the wings.
The trial trip to Washington will be
made on May 1. The trip to Europe,
the inventor says, will be made in less
than two days.
Signor Mansione has already formed
a stock company and several Italian
bankers are behind him.
A large cattle deal has been made
by B. F. Tatum of Kinsley with New
Mexico and Arizona parties. The
deal numbers from 10,000 to 12,000 cat
tle, which will be shipped to Kinslev
and sold in small bunches to cattle
buyers over the state.

After years of most bitter expert
ence, I learned that for a person with
a weak or deranged digestion, one of
the worst infractions of the laws of
health is the eating of soft or sloppy
food and drinking with meals. In
fact, one should not drink within less
than two hours after eating. After I
had learned this lesson and persisted
in following it for some little time,
the change for the better that I ex
perienced was wonderiul. Dry or
solid food well masticated and retain
ed in the mouth until it is thoroughly
insalivated will do more toture dys
pepsia than all the doctors' prescrip
tions in the land. It is, of course,
also necessary to make a proper selec
tion of food. From observstion I am
convinced that thousands upon thous
ands of people suffer in various ways
from a failure to comply with above
rule. L,. E. T.
The most perfect little home I ever
saw was a little house into the sweet
incense of whose fires went no costly
things. A few hundred dollars served
as a year's living for father, mother
and three children. But the mother
was the creator of the home; her rela
tions with the children were the most
beautiful I have ever seen; every in
mate of the house involuntarily looked
into her face for the- key-note of the
day, and it always rang clear. From
the rosebud or clover-leaf, which in
spite of her hard house work she al
ways iouna time to put oeside our
plates at breakfast, down to the story
she had on hand to read in the even
ing, there was no intermission in her
influence. She has always been and
always will be my ideal of a mother,
wife and homemaker. If to her quick
brain, loving' heart and exquisite face
had been added the appliances of
wealth and enlargements of wide cul
ture, hers would have been absolutely
the ideal home. As it was, it was the
best I have ever seen. Helen Hunt.
Editor of the Housewife's Club. A
young mother can learn by experience
and inquiry many little helpful reme
dies for emergencies and colds, coughs,
etc., without having to call in a phy
sician for every ill; and it saves many
a drug bill besides.
My father was a physician, but he
advised the use of simple home reme
dies for children, and he thought pow'
dered borax a most excellent and use
ful household article. He said it would
prevent contagion when such diseases
as diphtheria and scarlet fever were
prevalent. If a child is made to lave
its mouth and tonsils freely with a
strong solution of salt water and borax
every few hours, also to keep the pow'
dered borax on the washstand and in
the bathroom, and put it in the water
it washes in, it will escape any con
tagion. Our neighbors use to think
my father gave his children some fairy
wand to carry about with them, we
were so well, and escaped any serious
maladies. But we were simply made
to gargle with this lotion three times
a day, and put it in our bath-water,
and, in the spring, our kitchen sink.
Water pipes were flushed every day
with a strong solution of borax water.
Borax is the best disinfectant; de
stroys germs, and it is cheap, safe
and clean. Children don't mind garg
ling with it or putting the dry powder
on an ulcer in the throat. It will heal
quickly. I know of nothing so help
ful in a household.
A Great Mother is a just title for
Frances Willard's biography of her
mother. She was indeed a remarkable
woman, and in the daughter's auto
biography parents of girls will find
many a helpful suggestion in connec
tion with the traintng and education
of I? ranees and her sister Mary. One
instance of the wise and tender home
influences surrounding their girlhood
was the tactful treatment of Frances's
sensitiveness in regard to her personal
appearance. She says of hers el t in
her youth: "All happy hopes were
mine save one I wasn't a bit good
looking." In a comparison with her
sister, who was remarkably attractive,
she describes herself as being "thin,
with sparse red hair, though mother
never permitted me or any one else to
call it red." Nevertheless, boys some
times teasingly dubbed her "redhead"
and girls pitied her for being "home
ly." Smarting from these taunts she
would take retuge with her mother,
who soothed her by the assurance that
her hair was "like Grandfather Hill's,
which grew to be a lovely gold-brown
color when he grw up," and adding,
"You are like him in every way, and
he was the noblest looking man in all
the country round. Then sister
Mary would remind her of her "nice
figure and small hands and feet and
the brother also would come to the
rescue with "Never mind, Frank, if
you aren't the handsomest girl in
school you are the smartest!" Thus
home love and loyalty healed the sore
spirit until the girl grew to woman
hood and realized that beauty of ex
pression, of manner, of utterance, of
achievement, of character outweigh
beauty of person even in the scales of
society, to say nothing of celestial
values. The Congregationalist.
SHOULD NOT ADJOURN.
Efforts f llond holder Toward Ad
journment Discovered.
New York Special.
That the money manipulators and
bondholders are making every effort
possible to induce the United States
to swallow all Spanish insults and
preserve peace at any cost, is evidenced
by the sterotyped journalism furnish
ed by them, intended to feel the public
pulse on the scheme to adjourn con
gress and open the way for the admin
istration to smooth matters over, if so
inclined, and render sufficient protec
tion to stocks and bonds. Recently
articles have been sent out advocating
an early adjournment; members have
been approached and induced to grant
interviews to that effect; reports have
been sent to the press of the pacific
and conciliating tone of the Sagasta
government, and everything possible
has been done to prepare the mind of
the public for the final outcome of
their schemes.
Refering to these efforts, United
States Senator, Julius C. Burrows of
Michigan, in a signed statement in
the World, says:
"I am profoundly impressed with
the belief that in our relations with
Spain a crisis is near at hand; in a
very few days the government will re
ceive the report of the court of inquiry
that the Maine was destroyed by the
explosion of a Spanish mine or a tor
pedo.
"If the court makes the report I an
ticipate it will, then will come the tug
of war.
"What is the situation with which
the country is confronted?
"A vessel of the United States gov
ernment lies at anchor in the port of
a friendly power in the exact spot
fixed by that power, and that vessel is
on a peaceful mission. She is destroy
ed. "The question of ports does not en
ter into the discussion of responsibili
ty. Spain was as much bound to pro
tect the Maine and her crew from
harm in the port of Havana as if she
had been anchored at her own immed
iate door. I care not whether the ex
plosion was produced by or through
the connivance of a Spaniard or Cu
ban, Spain's responsibility for the
dead is not lessened thereby.
"Suppose that the president of the
United States had visited Spain on a
friendly mission and was a guest of
the queen regent, and during the night
was murdered by some member of the
queen's household, or by some fanati
cal Spaniard not connected with the
queen's household, would not this gov
ernment have the right to hold Spain
responsible for the deed? I contend
that it would.
"Therefore it is that I say that in
our relations with Spain, we are ap
proaching a crisis, the solution and
settlement of which congress alone
must determine. The country expects
congress to do its duty in the premises
and that the president will do his.
Neither can shift the responsibility of
the hour upon the other.
"Any proposition of congress to
shirk responsibility or repose special
powers upon the president to meet
emergencies as they arise, will be re
sented by the people.
"Congress must not only remain in
session until it knows all the facts
connected witn the loss of the Maine,
but must not adjourn until it has set
tled, and settled right, all the other
questions that are pressing for a
speedy solution."
May flake Six.
A good deal of encouragement was
created at the navy department by a
report from the capital that a majori
ty of the naval affairs committee is
disposed to substitute six battleships
for the three provided for in the pend
ing naval appropriation bill. This
number is supposed to represent about
the normal working capacity of the
three ship building concerns in this
country that are about at present to
undertake the contruction of battle
ships.
New Plan.
"Legislation goes wrong because
the people don't know what is going-
on, declares Gov. Pingree. "If the
people knew exactly what laws were
being passed and what their represen
tatives had to say about the bills, so
much fool and crooked legislation
would not be shoved through in the
dark. Now I am going to have four
stenographers employed, taking down
all that is said at the special session,
and then have the .speeches printed in
the house journal. I will call upon
the people to send for those journals
and read them carefully, so they can
see what their representative is doing.
If he can find any good reasons for
not voting for equal taxation it is only
right that his constituents shall know
of them, becauee we are going to get
them all on record this time." -

The Farm
A newspaper interested in the Aus
tralian frozen meat trade with Eng
land candidly admits that this class of
meat cannot compete with American
meats in quality or condition after an
ocean voyage. England will have to
hunt up some other excuse now for
not buying American meats in open
market, but it is a certainty that ever
resourceful Great Britain will find a
new reason immediately why Ameri
can meats are not to be sold freely in
in her markets. K. C. Packer.
From such information as can be
obtained the sale in Texas of highly
graded and registered bulls during the
last twelve months has been twice as
large as during any preceding equal
period of time, and that it does not
fall short of and probably exceeds $1,
500,000. Of these sales a much larger
number than ever before are of regis
tered animals, showing that our stock
men have learned the principle of
breeding that is most uniformly ef
fective of valuable results. Texas

A Hay Tru-tl.
One of the largest trusts formed in
years has been organized by Chicago
men under the name of the American
Hay company. Although the incor
poration is under Michigan laws, the
headquarters will be in Chicago. The
organization, when completed, will in
clude more than . 100 of the largest
buyers a ad shippers of hay in the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan. The capital stock is $5,
000,000. A tract of land near Buffalo
is to be purchased as a site for an im
mense warehouse. Buffalo is selected
as the place for the warehouse because
the bulk ot the hay to be handled will
be marketed in New England. F. W.
Lope, president of the Allen Line
company of Chicago, is the originator

Man ted the Kan Hunt Article.
A unique and interesting item is
told in connection with Kansas but
ter, especially along with the fact
that Minnesota butter won the highest
honors at the National Creamery But
termakers' convention at Topeka. A
formerly prominent Kansan, whose
business now requires him to live in
Minnesota, two weeks ago wrote to
Secretary Coburn of the State Board
of Agriculture, that he had found no
butter in Minnesota that suited his
taste so well as the Kansas article,
and he wished Mr. Coburn to buy the
tub of Kansas butter scoring highest
at the convention and ship it to him.
Mr. Coburn went to Mr. Irving
Mitchell, who bought the entire ex
hibit, told him what the Kansas but
ter was wanted for and Mr. Mitchell
at once made him a present of it, and
it was forthwith shipped by express
to the hungry erstwhile Kansan,
whose appetite cannot be quite satis
fied with even the best of butter made
elsewhere. This tub was made by C.
J. Walker, of Maryville, Marshall
county, and scored 96 in a possible
100.

The Same
Old Sarsaparilla.
That's AVer's. The same old sarsaparilla as it was
made and sold HO years ago. In the lulratory it is
different. There modern appliances lend speed to skill
and experience. But the sarsaparilla is the pume old
sarsaparilla that made the record 60 years of cures.
Why don't we betteT it? Well, we re rnucii in tho
condition of the Bishop and tho rnsnberrv: "Uoubt
less," he said, "God might have made a better In-rry.
But doubtless, also. He never did." "Why don't wo
better the sarsaparilla? We can't. We are using tho
same old plant that cured the Indians and the
