The people will be glad to hear from Roosevelt at any time, for with all his faults they love him still. He has been “still” now for a year, and a resumption of noise might prove just the tonic that is needed in Republican circles today.—Water- town Standard. Hope springs eternal in a democrat’s breast. Across the mud- wallows and dust-clouds of the factional political wrestling matches he sees “four years of clover” for his party. By the time the republicans have taken their pick of Minnesota voters there won’t be enough democrats left to hold a revival meeting. The Republican party as a whole deplores some of the conditions that have been revealed, but the Republi- cans can clean their own house and show the people that they are great and strong enough to eliminate wrongdoing and punish the wrong- doer, This, in our judgment, will give the people more confidence in the Republican party than any bill of health which the Democratic party can present. — Schenectady Union. A nervous looking man went into a store the other day and sat down for a half hour or so, when a clerk asked him if there was anything he wanted. He said no, he didn’t want anything. The clerk went away and the man sat an hour longer when the proprietor went to him and asked him if he wanted to be shown anything. *‘No,” said the nervous man, "I just wanted to sit around. My physician has recommended quiet for me, and says above all things I should avoid being in a crowd. Noticing that you do thought that this would be as quiet aplace asI could find, so I just dropped in fora few hours of isola- tion,” Below we are reprinting an article entitled “A Suggestive Monument for a Town,” taken from the Little Falls, Minn., Herald. It contains so many good points that we consider it worthy of reproduction.

I BY THE WAY | Some men are candidates because they can’t help it—and some because the people can’t help it. When ‘a man isa candidate for office his pen is mightier than his sword. There may be things \in this world that no man can find out, but its different with women. The man who knows the least is always in the biggest hurry to tell it. He who fights and runs away, may live to draw a pension. He Knew Them. This was overheard in the lobby of a big hotel in Cincinnati when a bus load of traveling salesmen came from the station. Every man of them as he signed the register paused to shake hands with the hotel clerk—fatherly old fellow who had been there many years. “Ah,” said one of them to the clerk, “it's a good thing you're still on deck, Uncle Dave. I don’t think the house could run without you.” “Couldn’t it, though!” said Uncle Dave. “You fellows would come in here, and if there was a strange clerk you'd say, ‘Where’s Uncle Dave? And the clerk would say: ‘Why, didn’t you hear? He died a month ago’ And then you'd say: Well, I'll be darned’ That’s too bad. Say, when 11 din ner be ready? " Dressing the Sponge. ‘When sponges are first torn from the sea bed they are of a dark colot and living. By tramping and pressing them with the feet a milky substance oozes out, whereupon the sponge dles, They are then immersed in the sea for a space of eight or ten hours. The dark, skinny substance is then remov- ed by scraping, and gradually, through cleaning, drying and bleaching, they take on the fine yellow color which charuacterizes many of them. A. B. GARRETSON. Handling Wage Dispute for Order of Railway Conductors. GREAT STRIKE IMPENDING Conductors and Trainmen on Lacka- wanna Road May Quit.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS Suffragists Consider Hissing Incident as Closed. ‘Washington, April 18.—The hissing of the president of the United States having been repudiated and the epi- sode having passed into history the convention of the National American ‘Woman Suffrage association resumed its normal atmosphere. A conference on the practical meth- ods of work preceded the opening of the convention. The delegates gen- erally discussed the subject and suf- fragists from all parts of the coun- try told of their plans and experi- ences in their efforts to place the movement intelligently before the peo- ple. Woman suffragists will ‘be repre- sented in a party of their own in Penn- sylvania politics, according to the re- port made by President Rachel Fos- ter Avery of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage association. The Equal Fran- chise Federation of Western Pennsyl- vania will enter the field as soon as it has 1,000 members, she declared. “Leaps to Death From Window. Minneapolis, April 18.—His neck broken and one side of his skull crushed the body of Edward L. Mer- rill, connected with the Inland Print- ing company of this city, was found in a pool of blood in an alley in the rear of the Beaufort hotel, the man having leaped, while despondent, from a second story window of the hostelry. Charlotte Bronte’s Last Tribute. “He will not separate us—we have been so happy!” These were the last words of Charlotte Bronte when, hav- ing become Mrs, Nicholls and having lived with her husband only nine months, death came to snatch the cup of domestic felicity from the lips of the happy pair. A low, wandering de- lirijum came on. Wakening for an in- stant from this stupor, she saw her husband’s woe worn face and caught the sound of some murmured words of prayer that God would spare her. *Oh,” she whispered, “I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us —we have been so happy!” ——— Suggested by a Lady: “Let me have five two-cent stamps, please,” said a lady to the polite young: man behind the counter in the post- office, “Yessum,” he sald, handing them out. “Can’t you let me have them in one- plece?” she added. ‘““Certainly, ma’am,” said the young man. “Can I send them home for you?” “Oh, no; I don't live far away, and I am going straight home. 1 wouldn’t put you to the trouble.” “No trouble at all,” said the polite ofticial. “I haven’t very much to do- today, and I could easily spare an hour.” “Very much cbliged,” said the lady, smiling sweetly. “Dear me,” she add- ed, putting on a stamp, “what a bother it is to stamp letters! Why can’t we send letters and let the postoffice send& in their bill once a month?” “They might just as well,” said the obliging young man sympathizingly. “I'll mention the fact in ‘my next re- port to Washington.” “Will you? How nice! mustn’t mention my name, fdea was suggested by a lady.” But you A Horse’s Toe Nails. Yew persons realize that a horse's hoot is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani mals having toes. The horn of a hoot grows just as a toe nafl does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. Buk on an average the horn grows about & third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down §n from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from: three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with humanp finger nails you can watch the progress of a bruise from. the roof to the tip.— New York Sun. s e SPRING SALE FOR ONE WEEK AT THE BAZAAR STORE We are seldom able to offer such values as we are placing on our bargain list for this week.
