FARCICAL FORMALITIES.
The American people are getting
mortally tired of the campaign for
malities; the nominating speeches,
the notification speeches, the
speeches of acceptance, and all like
rot, in their quadruple play and
repetition; it is Irksome and stilted
and unnecessary. Especially out
here in the Northwest, thousands of
miles from the scene of political Ini
tiative and the leading personalities
of the hour, is the farce of it all
more plainly apparent.
The old campaign rooster and his
raucous crowing are things of the
past and not as acceptable as once
they were; the people are getting
their eyes open to the travesty of
It all and their hearts are calloused
against the bitter mockery and sha
meful faithlessness of the men and
systems that stand for it; it goes no
further with the average man of
sense, who flushes now when he
thinks of the assinine acquiesence
he lent to the frauds of the past.
We have had a man-President,
who has taught us a few things about
selfpoise and the dignity of things
political, and wrought within us a
yearning for cleanliness and honesty
and frankness in our public relations,
aside from all the other things he
taught us. We can stand for an in
finitely simpler code and practice in
the transaction of our greater affairs,
and the faster we see them reduced
to sheer democratic standards and
divested of the complexities and the
"dust-throwing" artificialities, the
sooner will the nobler balances be
tween the people and their servants,
high and low, be struck, to the last
ing good of the land.
THE INSURANCE BURDEN.
Marshfleld business men are won
derfully patient as a general thing,
and in nothing they contend with is
this trait so apparent as In their
abiding the notorious and burden
some fire Insurance rates prevalent
Iiore. They exceed anything applied
to like territory In the whole North
west and are a weight against which
all common sense and every rule of
"business protests with exact justifica
tion; but the patienco of the people
seems Impervious to the strain and
permits the continuance of It without
tangible and open protest.
An analysis of the rates in this dis
trict, and their application, would op
en the eyes of the Insured to a line
of imposition of which they are at
the moment unaware, but, if we are
not mistaken, would create a sudden
Bontlment against which even the
San Francisco over-lords of the busi
ness, would no longer contend, sha
meless as they are In this particular
Instance.
Thero Is also talk of the existence
of certain discriminations that aro
In vogue here, but what thero Is to
that must be left to further inquiry
vow afoot. The salient fact remains
that Marshfleld is under a high
Wnder dictum In tho matter of rates
and tho sooner she chucks the whole
business and carries hor own risks
until she Is fairly met on equitable
terms, tho better for nil concerned,
and not the least tho companies do
ing business here.
THE "PIVOTAL STATE.
Tfioro Is a genoral superstition
that Now York Is over and nlways a
presidential pivot. History does not
support this theory. Tho stato was
lost by General McClollan In 1861.
Then in procession It was carried by
Mr. Seymour, lost by Mr. Grcoloy,
carried by Mr. Tildon, lost by Gon
oral Hancock, carried by Mr. Cleve
land, lost by Mr.' Clovoland. carried
by Mr. Clovoland, which brings us
down to those years of political bliz
zards whon Mr, Bryan lost It twlco
and Mr. Parker onco. Until tho Nob
raskan's time tho stato swung like
a pondulum betweon tho parties.

THE GYPSY TOOK ME.
The gypsy took me by the hand and
fixed me with a leer,
But boon I ceased to ridicule and
soon I ceased to jeer,
For the gypsy read my character as
plain as brightest day.
I tell you now, the gypsies know no
matter what you say.
"Your character," said she, "Is
strong.
Your intuition's never wrong.
You're firm but kmd.
I also And
You have a most unusual mind.
And oh, what tact!
It is a fact
I never saw a hand so lined.
You're biave and ready for a
light
For what you think is just and
right.
At any hour of day or night.
Your line of love is very clear.
You've broken many hearts, I
fear.
You'll live to be a millionaire.
Such hands as these are very rare.
Such hands a gypsy seldom sees.
I wish you joy one dollar,
please."
I joined our waiting crowd outside
and dropped them just a hint,
My addle-headed rival quickly turned
a greenish tint.
The silly" fool said, "Wait a bit," and
trotting in he went
And listening hard we heard these
words come floating through the
tent:
"Your character, I see, is strong.
Your intuition's never wrong.
You're firm but kind.
I also find
You have a most unusual mind"
Oh, naughty gypsy to deceive! To
thus abase your gift!
For after many thoughtful hours I
have perceived your drift.
To me, of course, you told the truth
the truth alone would serve.
But when you saw that donkey's
hand you didn't have the nerve!
ANON.
The man who claims he Inherits a
taste for liquor usually acts as if he
thought family traits should be care
fully preserved.
Ella So Algie has been heartless
ly deceived by a woman, has he?
Did she lead him to think she lofbd
him?
Bella No; that's just the trouble.
She let him believe she didn't care
a rap for him, and then when he
proposed for a lark she accepted on
tho spot.

His coat is rough and shaggy,
But his tail is very waggy,
For he wasn't educated with a
whip.
He never knew a tether
Or a muzzle made of leather;
He's a free and independent little
rip.
He thinks it mighty funny
To pursue a frightened bunny
Or to chase an angry squirrel up a
trunk.
Though he's hardly finished growing,
He has reached the point of knowing
There's a difference 'twixt a wood
chuck and a skunk.
He will cock a saucy ear up
At a whistle or a chirrup;
You should hear the merry music
of his bark.
When he comes to me careering
Through the door yard or the clear
. lug
Like an infantile tornado on a lark
Such a friendly little fellow!
Though he's pretty nearly yellow.
But he's coming for a confidential
talk,
And his pleading eyes are saying
That today was nieant for playing,
So I rather guess we're going for
a walk.

ADVERTISEMENTS, LIKE
CLOCKS, SHOULD KEEP
RUNNING.
A store's advertisements tell
the people what is "doing at
that store what is new, what
is inviting, why today is a good
time to visit the. store. People
look for the ads to tell them
these things just as naturally as
they would look at a clock to
tell the time.
Sometimes a clock does not $
run sometimes a store's ad
does not run. A "run-down"
clock or ad are about equally
unsatisfactory, unserviceable, ,
misleading.
Curious thing about it is that
a merchant who would think it
absurd to have a run-down" or
out-of-repalr clock will, some-
times, deliberately let his ad
stop running. It's not wise, nor
good business, nor defensible on
any known grounds but It is
sometimes done.
When is it possible for a woman
to have a legal marriage without
change of name?
When she possesses the same name
as the groom.
