" Family and Cittls Find Quarters Un- dsr the Sams Roof. The typical Dutch farmhouse Is square, one storied, with a pyramid ihaped root. The space between the ipex of the roof and the celling of the dwelling part is generally used as a itorehouse for winter food for the cat tle. Tbe living room, door opens Into Hie stable, for the cattle are Invariably boused under the same roof as the fam ily. The homes vary little In their fur nishings. One always sees bright strips of carpet, a highly polished center ta ble, where the family Bible is display ed, and a glass dresser, with its shelves (tiled with rare old brass and delft ware. Tbe most carious thing about the bouses are tbe sleeping quarters unique and certainly unhealthy from the modern viewpoint, which requires plenty of fresh air in the bedrooms. Tbe cbeesemaker's family Bleeps in beds built in cupboard-like recesses Id tbe wall and as far from tbe window as possible. There is a door similar to that of a cupboard, and this is kept closed during tbe day in order that the bed may be hidden from view. Tbe stuffy condition of tbis walled in bed room can be readily imagined. The Jnen is always snowy white, and tbe wbole makeup presents an attractive appearance even to tbe decorated strap suspended from tbe celling and used to assist tbe occupant of the couch to rise. Tbe visitor is always welcome at tbe cheese farms, but tbe visit must be made early in the morning If tbe cbeesemaklng is to be seen. Mrs. C It. Miller in Leslie's. THE SWISS PRESIDENT. His Powers Are Quite Limited, and So Is His Salary. The president of Switzerland is so hedged about by the constitution that, except for official purposes and to fa cilitate the exchange of courtesies and of amicable understandings with for eign nations, be bns no more standing than tbe other six members of the council of which he forms a part. He Is elected for one year, has no official residence, and his chief business Is to sign the documents of the bnndesrat or council of seven. His salary Is in onr money equal to about $3.(00 per annum, and there Is no provision for private expenses, such as traveling or entertaining. He is expected to live in the capital of the country during tbe year be holds office. His associate members In the bnndesrat get $.').H) a year, and they nre elected for thre years, their votes hnvlne the same force as that of the president. As a role, the president of Switzer land Is before election a member of tbis council nnd is elected to the hljib er office without opposition, but in 1 S,S.'t be bad a rival, nnd. though he won In tbe election, he was unable to support what In bis conntry is looked upon as an affront nnd committed suicide be fore his inauguration. In this connection it might he well to note, too, that Switzerland Is the one country on the globe where It costs nothing to die, as in certain cantons rlcb and poor nre burled at the ex pense of tbe state.-Harper's Weekly. A Chance of a Lifetime. "Have you any cheering news?" asked tbe boarding bouse landlady wben ber husband got home. "Dearie," he cried. "I hnve more than that. I have a bnppy surprise." "Huh: Are you sober?" "Better than that, dear heart" "Well, tell it to me. Did yon earn two bits spading up somebody's peony bed?" "Aw, say! This is the real thing." 'Tell me the worst." "You know that milliner' yon got a !90 bat from?" "1 do. . Don't tell me she's dead." "Better than that. She's coming here for two weeks' board." "Henry, you can have that trip to Monte Carlo you've been wanting." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cocaine. Travelers In Peru and countries where rocn grows chew tbe leaves of this plant for the purpose of allaying the sense of hunger and the feeling of exhaustion th.nt accompanies it. At first the leaves were thought to possess food elements, but now it la known that the cocaine they contain merely allnys the Irritability of the nerves that produce tbe sense of hunger. Co caine is an alkaloid made from the coca leaf, which has the effect of com pletely destroying tbe sensibility of nerves. The discovery of this active principle of the coon leaf explained fully and satisfactorily the effect pro-, duced by chewing the leaves. Trouble. The worn, grny haired man met a mysterious stranger.

PLATFORM ADOPTED AT CHICAGO (Continued from Page Six.) Merchant Marine. We believe tuat one of the coun try's most urgent needs is a revived merchant marine. There should be American ships, and plenty of them, to make use of the great American lnteroceanic canal now nearlng com pletion. Flood Prevention. The Mississippi river is the na tion's drainage ditch. Its flood wa ters, gathered from 31 Btates and the Dominion of Canada, constitute an overpowering force, which breaks the levees and pours its torrents over mapy millions of the richest land In the Union, stopping mails, Impeding commerce and causing great loss of life and property. These floods are national in scope and the disasters they produce seriously affect the gen eral welfare. The states, unaided, cannot cope with this giant problem; hence, we believe the general govern ment should assume a fair propor tion of the burden of its control, so as to prevent the disasters from in curring floods. Itecla million. We favor the continuance of the policy of the government with regard to the reclamation of arid lands, and for the encouragement of the speedy settlement and improvement of such lands we favor an amendment to the law that will reasonably extend the time within which the cost of any reclamation project may be repaid by the land owners. Rivera and Harbors. We favor a liberal and systematic policy for the Improvement of our rivers and harbors. Such improve ments should be made upon expert information, and after a careful com- jpurison of cost and prospective bene- lits. Alaska. We favor a liberal policy toward Alaska to promote the development of the great resources of that dis trict, with such safeguards as will prevent waste and monopoly. We favor the opening of the coal lands to development through a law leasing the lands on such terms as will invite development and provide fuel for the navy and the commerce of the Pacific ocean, while retaining title in the United States to prevent monopoly. Philippiiif Policy. The Philippine policy of the repub lican party has been and is inspired by the belief that cur duty toward the Filipino people is a national ob ligation which should remain entire ly free from partisan politics. Immgrution. We pledge the republican party to the enactment of appropriate laws to give relief from the constantly grow ing evil of induced or undesirable immigration, which is inimical to the progress and welfare of the people of the United Stai.es, Safety at Sea. We favor the speedy enactment of laws to provide that seamen shall not be compelled to endure involuntary servitude and that life and property at sea shall be safeguarded by the ample equipment of vessels with life saving appliances and with full com plements of skilled, able-bodied sea men to operate them. Republican Accomplishments. The approaching completion of the Panama canal, the establishment of a bureau of mines, the institution of the postal savings bank, the- increased provision made in 1912 for the aged and infirm soldiers and sailors of the republic and for their widows, and the vigorous administration of the laws relating to pure food and drugs, all mark the successful progress of the republican administration and are additional evidence of its effective ness. Economy and Kfliciency. We commend the earnest effort of the republican administration to se cure greater economy and increased efficiency in the conduct of the gov ernment business. Kxtravagant ap propriations and the creation of un necessary offices are an injustice to the citizen. Civic Duly. We call upon (he people to quicken their Interest in public affairs, to condemn and punish lynchings and other forms of lawlessness and to strengthen 1n all possible ways a re spect for law and the observance of it. Indifferent citizenship Is an evil from which the law nf fords no ade quate protection and for which legis lation can provide no remedy. Arizona nnd New Mexico. We congratulate the people of Ari zona and New Mexico upon the ad mission of those states, thus merging in the Union In final and enduring form the last remaining portion of our continental territory. Republican Administration. We challenge successful criticism or the 16 years of republican adminis tration under Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Tart. We heartily re affirm the Indorsement of President McKinley, contained in the platform of 1900 and 1904, and that of Presi dent Roosevelt, contained in tbe plat forms of 1904 and 190S. We Invite the intelligent Judgment of the American people upon the ad ministration of William H. Taft. The country has prospered and been at peace under his presidency. During the years in which he had the co operation of a republican congress, an unexampled amount of construc tive legislation was, framed and passed in tbe interest of the people and in obedience to their wish. That legislation Is a record on which any administration might appeal with confidence to the favorable Judgment of history. We appeal to the American elector ate upon the record of tbe republican party and upon this declaration of its principles and purposes. We are confident that under the leadership of candidates here to be nominated A. McCALLEN, President C. H. VALPEL, Vke-Presldeot !
