' A man who answered advertisments

It was to "take the peldge and keep

:iamps to find out how to raise
'-turnips successfully. He found out
""JuBt take hold of the tops and pull. "
Being young, ho wished to marry,
jiud sent 84 1-cent stamps to a Chicago
l&riu for information as to vhow to
rkfike an impression. When the ans
wer came it read, "Sit down on a
jjtin of dough." It was a little rough,
4ait he was a patient man, and
' tlugh he would yet succeed. Next
advertisement he answered, read,

mouths. " Ha was told to convert his
money into bills, fold" them and he

Ostrich farming is now a well
. established industry a the United
-States. According to a writer in
'Town and Country, there are now
'800 birds in this country and those will
idoutless form the nuols of that im
menm) number that one day will cover
ftho mesas of southern California, the
meadows of Arizona, the vast plat
'jfauB of Texas, and the everglades of
Florida as tlio kind do the Afrioan
veldt today. Fifteen years ago
American oritrioh farmors gave their
limit serious attention to this sujoct.
"The ostrich has come to stay. He
vflotts little to keep not more than
tho ordinary shoep and yields an
annual income value of 30 to the
proprietor.. One man can take nare
ul a hundred ostriches. The creature
is hardy and of a careless appetite.
'The average increase to the Btock each
year is .between, fifteen and twenty
ostriches to the pair. Somo have
been known to produce as many as
JJiirty seven in a yortr, Tho birds
:re kept in pens in California and
at source of revenue has boen found in
exhibiting them to manv tourists who
-j.ro attracted there. Incobators show
s ng tho various stages of ostrioh.life
are also in view. A growth from the
size of a duck to a height of six foot
is a questiou of only six months.
When tho birds are a year old tlieir
iWthors are ready for market. Tho
wt-pping is accomplished by covering
too oHtriche's head with a hood and
plying a pair of shears. This process
takes place every eight months. The
feathers on the large side wings are
Mit tiff near the root . the smaller
-feathers on the tail are pulled out
without injury to the bird, for on the

With of the ooming feather. In the
icuurHO of throe weeks the stem left
wtart to fall out, and a new feather
Wfcins to grow, which in due time is
Vakeu oft for tho benefit of the ostrich
farmer. Those feathers are gradod
and sent to tho feather manufacturers
th' New York, who make thorn up into
-JtufO beautiful articles of dross so
view to tho hearts of those who buy
them. When tho Ameroian woman
eiui buy only the ostrich feather of the
American coutiuont, the most sanguine
JUepo of Edward Cawstou, the pioneer
'California ontrich farmer, will have
iu realised. Two million dollars
a!h yo;ir will then re'uiu in tha
country, instead of going to London,
and another magnificent industry
will have been added to the already
vast resoures of the greatest of all
republics."
A PRESIDENIAL POSSIBILITY
Tom L. Johnson, the Moyar of
Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the most
conspicuos figures before the American
people today. He is a Democrat and
a Presidential possibility. The fol
lowing from his Fourth of July
speech is worthy the perusal of every
man who loves this great American
country of ours.
"I have no ill will for Senator
Hanna. Personally he is a nice man.
In business he lives np to his agree
ments. But his public record must
be condemned. In our campaign
last fall Senator Hanna put it out as
his keynote that republicans should
"stand pat." Now, think of that I
Think of that as the political keynote
for an intelligent community.
"Stand pat!" Do yon know what that
means? Why, to "stand pat" is the
highest and biggest play of the pro
fessional gambler in our great Ameri
can game of draw pokker. He holds
five cards. They may make the best
or they may make the poorest hand
in the deck. '
Holding them np close to him he
ays; "I stand pat," which means
he doesn't need any better , cards, or
wants you .to think he doesn't need
any better cards. Let the other
players guess what he has. It is a
game of bluff. That was Senator
Hanna's game in Ohio politics. That
was his keynote in a great campaign
where men and women were interested
in vital questions "stand pat I"
Think of the fall from Abraham
Linooln. " When he played the game
of life called politics, he did not
"stand pat.", He didn't hold five
cards and bluff yon to guess. He
played his hand open on the table be
fore him where everybody could
see it Lincoln, probably, never knew
what a pat hand was. Oh, my repub
lican friends of Nebraska, isn't it a
fall from the republicanism Lincoln
to the republicanism of Hanna? Think
of Lincoln, humanity-loving Lincoln,
with his open hands, and then of
Mark Hanna with his "pat hands"
' One word in closing. This is my
first viBit to your beautiful country.
This is the first time I have stopped
in your state, though I have passed
through it before. I hope it will not
be my last visit. And I hope above
all that oar friend, Mr. Bryan, who
has traveled and spoken so much all
over the United States, will long be
spared to continue his good work. I
hope that the people of this country
will oontinue to love and honor him
as I love and honor him and yon here
this afternoon. My friends, I thank
you for your attention. Good-by.
THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
Our Washington correspondent yes
terday very perfectly Btated the
trend of deinocrtiao discussion looking
toward the party's next nominee
for the presidency. With the fact ac
cepted that President Roosevelt is to
be the nominee of the republicans
it is not unnatural that democratic
leaders shoald be concerned this
early to discover the personality
most prominent in democratic favor
throughout the oountry.
What our correspondent says of Sen
ator Gorman's popularity is confirmed
by frequent expressions in the demo
cratic press in all parts of the country.
Because he is better known than most
of tho others mentioned j because he
conducted with splendid fability the
first electoral campaign for Cleve
land, and because he is a party figure
of unqostioned wisdom and! patriot
ism, his name is not unduly prom
inent in present discussions of pro
mising candidates.
The final test of any man's availa
bility oaunot now be "etenuined in
the deuiooratio mind as it has been
in the republicans case. The reasons
why are too familiar to need re
hearsal The fisrt session of a new
congress is to intervene before the
nomination is due and what may
come out of the political caldron
botwoen now and next midsummer is
baffling to any imagination. What
issues may or may not become para
mount meanwhile are things that
no one is now oompetent to guess.
But as our correspondent clearly
shows, a good sign of promise appears
in the deuiooratio, situation. . That is
in the certainty that the party means
to have harmony in its ranks in 1904.
It will not recognize the right of any
man to do more than offer his conn
sol. After the majority has settled
on the party policy every man must
follow tho flag, or got out of the way.
No man unwilling to enter the coun
cils of the, party with that understand
ing should offer it advice or darken
its counsel with words that are empty
and selfishly arrogant.
Talk about "eternal principals"
being at stake iu more qestioug of
expediency and experiment is folly
spelled with capital letters. The
torual principals of domocarcy can

popular liberty, individual rights,

vileges and the honest and economio
handling of the people's money.
Tiiese ends democracy has sought to
achieve even in its most disasterous
campaigns. The need to fight for them
with even more vigor than ever was
at not time in the past more obligatory
than now.
The man whom the democrats will
nominate, without present regard for
his name and mail address, will be the
one whose record, views and party in
tegrity will be such as to guarantee
a campaign for the principals above
stated and whose election would
guarantee their strict application in
the national administration.
CRIMES MEASURE CIVILIZATION
We never konw in these days when
one of our cherished beliefs js going
to get flatly knocked in the head.
For a hundred years we have believed
that yellow fever was due to unsani
tary conditions and transmitted by
contagion, or infection ;by fomites in
the olothing, bedding or other be
longings of those who were victims
of the yellow scourge. But now we
know with almost absolute certainty
that a certain breed of mosquitoes,
with a jaw-breaking Latin ' name,
transmit the dread disease. '
After that comes a man with a
book im which he tells ns that the
multiplication of crimes is an evi
dence of advancing civilization. To
have that strike you off handed, would
it not jar yon sensibly? Yet he has
the audaoity to produce an array of
proofs that make our old idea, that
as civilization is hightened crime is
lessened, appear as absurd as the
proposition "if butter were worth 20
cents a pound how many teeth are
there in a handsaw ?"
; The author does not use the word
crime in the restricted sense, of a
personally injury, or tort, or sin
against humanity and devine "princi
ples of righteousness. He speaks
of those things which society com
pounds or prohibits by laws made for
the protection and betterment jf the
general wellfare. The more civilized
a people is the more multiplied will
be the fine distinctions between the
things the citizen should do and
those he should not do and therefore
the more cases there will be for those
who ignore or infract these multiform
statutes and ordinances. . :
Law, as we learn at the threshold
of the science, is "a rule of action
prescribed by the sovereign authority
commanding what is right and
prohibiting what is wrong. "While
we often complain of over legislation
and being to mnoh governed, yet his
tory testifies nnimpeaohably that the
march of civilization is reassured by
the multiplication of commands and
prohibitions, called for by the com
plex relations that ramify the social
compact. Things that were permitted
in an earlier stage of the organism
are now prohibited by a finer sense
of moral and social obligations, and
things that once were left to individ
ual judgement are now erected into
duties incumbent on all by an edict
of the state.
A notable instance adduced ' is that
of Massachusetts. It is from 1 that
state we oftenest hear the riot act read
to other states and sections for moral
and social derelictions. Thinking
of that idiosyncrasy only one would
naturally expect to find Massachusetts
as free of crimes as itis ef indigenous
cacti. But as a matter of record
Massachusetts shows more crimes and
criminals pro rata than any other
state in the union, with New York
a close second. Poor old, greaser
ridden New Mexico! not yet civilized
enough to get the consent, of Mass
achusetts' representatives to beoome
a state, has the fewest crimes vand
criminals in proportion to population.
Brutally Tortured.

merciful torture lias perhaps never been eitualed

Prof. L. J . Miller, late Professor of Chemistry and Botany of the High School
Ot Tpsilantl, Mich., writes from 3327 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 111., as follows :
"As several of my friends have spoken to me of the favorable results obtained
through the use of Peruna, especially in cases of catarrh, I examined it most
thoroughly to learn its contents.
"I found it composed of extracts of herbs and barks of most valuable medicinal
qualities combined with other ingredients, delicately balanced, calculated to tone

"I consider Peruna one ot the most skillfully aad scientifically prepared
medicines, which the public can use with safety aad success." PROP. L, J.
