Thus he would probably get less for his labor in depreciated currency under silver than he does now, and so have less purchasing power wherewith to buy his coffee, his sugar, his tea and his tobacco, and most of those articles coming from countries that demand gold ill payment.—Ernest R.

Her husband loved her and was proud of her; but he found, rather to his diamay, that the little peculiarities which had amused hlni in the days of his short courtship, and which had occasionally called forth a hearty laugh while on the wedding tour, were not mere girlish whims and fancies.

Mr. Bryan is eagerly seeking the votes of the farmers, yet on April 7, 1893, he voted In the house in favor of the Springer bill to place wool on the free list, thus striking a blow at every farmer who attempts to diversify his industry by raising sheep.

British owners now hold a large part of the silver stocks of this country, which produce about 50,000,000 ounces of silver a year. British owners now hold nearly all the other productive silver mines of the world—In Australia, Mexico, South America, and elsewhere. Their product, asiile from mines in this oountry, is 1125,- 000,000 ounces a year. The whole silver ( product comes to 175,000,000 ounces, and is increasing at recent prices.

Topic.—Lessons from David's life and words. —II Sam. xxii, 1-22. The easy-chair and slippers looked very tempting in the library, where a wood Are was blazing on the tiled hearth. It was a cozy room, with rugs and cushions and shaded lamps. Books of various kinds filled the bookcases, and engravings of noted places and of historical scenes were here and there on the walls. A table, wtfpportinj; a small vase of cut flowers, a lamp and the latest periodicals, had been drawn up close to the big arm-chair: and on this table Frank Hartwell placed his evening paper, walked slowly up-stairs to his room in which his wife was removing her wraiw, entered, and closed the door. Margaret was leaning against the sideboard. In stature she was barely medium, but her form na* exquisitely moulded, and she was remarkably A greatgrandfather of George W. Purnoll, now a prominent member of the bar of this circuit, was a stanch de fendor of American independence and a commissioned officer in the militia, but owing to the depredations so frc quently being committed along the seaside and about his own home, known the Fairfield Farm, it became necessary for him to remain there to protect liis property. David (well beloved) was the son of Jesse. Ho was the youngest son of a family of two children and was born in Bethlehem. His life has been divided into three portions: (1) His youth. (2) His relations with Saul. (8) His reign. David was short in statnre, had red hair and bine eyes. He was well made and possessed great strength and agility. The first time David appears in history is when, at the annual sacrificial feast, he is anointed by Samuel to succeed Haul. After his anointing David resumes his usual duties. Next he is summoned before Saul to chase away the king's madness by music. One incident only of his shepherd life is recorded, his conflict with a lion and a bear in defending his flocks. On July 8, 1880, Mr. Bryan voted to reduce the duty on tin plate and to repeal the section of the McKlnley law which created the great tin plate industry in the United States. Another blow was then dealt at the workingmen whose votes he now so eagerly seeks! ing. graceful, A ny one who has been in a country that is on a silver basis, such as Mexioo, China, Jupnn or India, will understand that this Is no hypothetical case, but an actual fact, for, as credits are always drawn on London, if a traveler in any one of those countries desires to draw money on his letter of credit he is told that they cannot tell what to charge him until they receive the London rate of exchange, which* Is based on the market price of silver. During part of the time while I was in Japan exchange was very low, consequent upon rumors of war with Russia, and during those times thu price of the Japanese yen, or dollar, dropped, and when the rumors were found to be without foundation exchange rose and the price of the dollar went up. In a week's time its value fluctuated 10 per cent., and in Japan that was no unusual occurrence.

On May 8, 1893, Mr. Bryan moved to suspend the rules and pass his bill to place binding twine on the free list. He then struck another blow at the workingmen, for hundreds of them found employment in the manufacture of twine. It will not do to say his action was "for the benefit of the farmer," because the price of binding twine is no lower now than it was in 1898. His bill merely gave foreign workmen employment at the expense of the American workmen. It injured the latter, and did not benefit the farmers. "Would it not have been proper for yon to confine yourselves within certain limits—the one to the feminine and the other to the masculine portion?"The Tories about the country acted a« pilotd for the British soldiers, who frequently came in boats through the inlet at Chinocoteague and up the Syne pnxent Bay, the prosperous farms along the shore offering an excellent field for their raids. For the most part thes" farms were entirely unprotected, an 1 the local Tories would guide the soldier, to those bouses where they would prooably get the most booty.

Stewart proved itself good. He sold $200 worth of the lace in a twinkliug, and the house of Stewart was established. Elate over this omen of success, he framed a business motto thus: "Honesty, discretion, watchfulness, persistent labor." "I beg your pardon, Frank. We did not regard labor as masculine and feminine. Albert is larger and stronger than I, but we both have human faculties." He had patently borne with her foibles, waiting for the improvement which he boped| would be produced by change of environment. Familiarity with her surroundings, however, had only served to remove restraint: her visit to the court-room was the last straw, and he felt it incumbent upon him to exercise a husband's authority.

That would (five the British owners of the Broken Hill mine an added profit on that one mine, in gold, of more than 110,000,000 a year. That mine produces only 15 per cent, of the world's product, which Is mostly British. About an equal profit would fall to the rest of the silver mines, rwtwtly British. Here are two or three ! lit Mo sums for Messrs. Newlands and Bryan to do: ■ "Hearafter, my dear," said Mr. Hartwell. taking one of her pretty dimpled hands in his, "you must leave the men's part to me. I don't want you to Injure your health and make yourself coarse." David's relations with Saul began a few years afterward, at the time of his victory over Goliath. Saul then became interested in David and took him to his court. He was (1) an armor bearer, (2) a captive over 1,000, (8) son-in-law by his marriage with Miclial, Saul's daughter, and (4) captain of the king's bodyguard. The friendship of Jonathan during this time and the treachery and jealousy of Saul are well known. His life, the last drop of his energy, brain and body, were always staked against his credit. Nobody should assail that at any cost. There should be no shadow on it. On July 8, 1898, Mr. Bryan voted for the bill to reduce the duty on lead ore, and to discriminate in favor of lead ores containing silver. This bill could not possibly benefit any American workingman. It Injured those employed in lead mining and smelting; it injured the men who delve in silver mines. Possibly it helped the men who deal in silver bullion—but certainly not one American workingman. He began by explaining to the young wife the difference between true and false theories; he pointed out the errors in which she had been reared; and, when he had said what should "The bargain wa» that you would practice law and I take charge of the home; but neither of us must be selfish, and each will call on the other for assistance when needed," replied Margaret, smiling sweetly.

Since the great decline has taken place in Japan prices for farm produce and merchandise, exccpt during the war, have not risen, but have remained about stationary because of the increased supply, but the price for everything that is purchased outside of Japan in a gold standard country has risen to almost double. Hotel proprietors and those who are forced to buy those articles that are necessary to the conducting of their business, and which are not produced in Japan, have now to pay double what they did before the great decline took place, and yet the hotel proprietors dare not raise the price of their rooms on account of competition. The proprietor of the Grand hotel in Yokohama told me himself that he was making less per day now since silver had declined than lDefore its fall. In Japan the horse is almost an unknown animal as far as transportation purposes are concerned, coolies, both men and women, taking its place. For thirty-eight cents in our money these Japanese runners will pull you in a jinrickisha for ten hours at a pace that would kill almost any horse, and yet these runners stand among the highest paid lalior in that country. At Saul's death David was crowned king over Judali at Hebron. Seven and one-half years later he also became the king of Israel. He conquered Jerusalem and made his capital there and raised the kingdom to a high standard and a commanding position in the world. David was a born poet and his psalms as religious lyrics stand unsurpassed. His life and words teach us many important lessons. "I fear I shall grow lazy," said Margaret. "I have too much leisure." Mr. Bryan's votes in congress were uniformly In favor of measures whose effect was to reduce the wages of American workingmen, and to diminish the amount of work open to them. He voted to reduce or remove the duties on imported farm products. Is a man who votes steadily to promote foreign Interests at the expense of our own to be honored with the highest office in the people's gift, as a reward for such action? "I regret that there is a disagreement between us," said Margaret. "Were "Don't you know how to kill time?" said Frank, "Visit your friends. Go •hopping, read, take naps.

The question for the workingman to ask himself is, How will the adoption of a silver basis effect me personally? If he has read any of the campaign literature he knows that it is generally admitted, even by the sllverites, that the cost of living will advance materially. Our Popocratio friends say, however, that wages will advance correspondingly. But, wiil they? There's the rub I Is there any liklihood of employers advancing wages when there are half a dozen idle men waiting to take every job in the land at the wages now prevailing? As William McKinley has put it, the cost of living is the first to go up and the rate of wages is the last to stay down.—Plttston Gazette.

"Did your father allow you to go Ipto court ?" Mr. Bryan says that, these "incidental" (see the last part of his address in New York) profits must not prevent the voters of this country from supporting the sllvercrat party.

Britlah Sliver Euiliwriti. A good coachman can be had in Bombay for 10 rupees, or, say, $3.30, per month, and an excellent house servant and courier for 1 rupee, or 32 cents per day, with an allowance of 4 annas, or 8 cents, a day for his food, and those house servants constitute the highest paid class of labor in India. These servants are always men, and they commence their day's duties by bringing their master's "chota hazri," or early breakfast, at 7 o'clock in tl» morning. They help you dress and then proceed to wait upon the tablo, act as interpreter during your ride, brush vourclothes or pi|De clay your torpee hat when you return and follow you around like a faithful dog on every occasion, pack your trunk, keep off the horde of beggars that hourly annoy you, and when at night you retire they curl themselves up in their blankets and sleep on the mat outside your door, ready to answer your call. This is a fair example of the best paid class of native lttlKir in India. For a man of his reputed culture Mr. Bryan at times shows a wonderful lack of good sense and good taste. This feature crops out in every speech he makes. His declaration that the Creator did not use any superior kind of mud when he made financiers is a case In point. Such a statement offends not only our sense of decency, but of reverence. Even a nonreligious man turns from such irreverence with disgust But it seems to be Mr. Bryan's nature to say such things. It i9 also in accord with the idea that dominates him to array the poor against the well to da Is such the kind of a man the American people desire to set in the chair of Washington and Adams and Harrison? —Hollidaysburg Register.

Mr. Stewart died at half-past 1 o'clock iu the afternoon of April 10. 1870, in the southeast corner room of the Thirty-fourth street mansion. He had been married fifty-one years, but he had no children, his two sons having died in ipfancy. "I have endeavored to keep my thoughts as pure as those of my kind ran be. There is a difference, you know. Margaret, in our spiritual natures.""What caused the difference? Is It a matter of schooling?" "Good-by, dearest." He kissed her, as he always did when they parted. On November 7, 1878, Mr. Stewart's body was stolen from St. Mark's churchyard. The sensation that followed, the long search, the rewards offered and never claimed, the endless recriminations and scandals, were the sensations of that day.

British owners now hold a large part of the silver stocks of this country, which produce about 50,000,000 ounces of silver a year.

Their product, asiile from mines in this oountry, is 1125,- 000,000 ounces a year. The whole silver ( product comes to 175,000,000 ounces, and is increasing at recent prices.

It was a cozy room, with rugs and cushions and shaded lamps. Books of various kinds filled the bookcases, and engravings of noted places and of historical scenes were here and there on the walls. A table, wtfpportinj; a small vase of cut flowers, a lamp and the latest periodicals, had been drawn up close to the big arm-chair: and on this table Frank Hartwell placed his evening paper, walked slowly up-stairs to his room in which his wife was removing her wraiw, entered, and closed the door.

Purnoll, now a prominent member of the bar of this circuit, was a stanch de fendor of American independence and a commissioned officer in the militia, but owing to the depredations so frc quently being committed along the seaside and about his own home, known the Fairfield Farm, it became necessary for him to remain there to protect liis property. David (well beloved) was the son of Jesse. Ho was the youngest son of a family of two children and was born in Bethlehem. His life has been divided into three portions: (1) His youth. (2) His relations with Saul. (8) His reign. David was short in statnre, had red hair and bine eyes. He was well made and possessed great strength and agility. The first time David appears in history is when, at the annual sacrificial feast, he is anointed by Samuel to succeed Haul. After his anointing David resumes his usual duties. Next he is summoned before Saul to chase away the king's madness by music. One incident only of his shepherd life is recorded, his conflict with a lion and a bear in defending his flocks. On July 8, 1880, Mr. Bryan voted to reduce the duty on tin plate and to repeal the section of the McKlnley law which created the great tin plate industry in the United States. Another blow was then dealt at the workingmen whose votes he now so eagerly seeks! ing. graceful, A ny one who has been in a country that is on a silver basis, such as Mexioo, China, Jupnn or India, will understand that this Is no hypothetical case, but an actual fact, for, as credits are always drawn on London, if a traveler in any one of those countries desires to draw money on his letter of credit he is told that they cannot tell what to charge him until they receive the London rate of exchange, which* Is based on the market price of silver. During part of the time while I was in Japan exchange was very low, consequent upon rumors of war with Russia, and during those times thu price of the Japanese yen, or dollar, dropped, and when the rumors were found to be without foundation exchange rose and the price of the dollar went up.

On May 8, 1893, Mr. Bryan moved to suspend the rules and pass his bill to place binding twine on the free list. He then struck another blow at the workingmen, for hundreds of them found employment in the manufacture of twine. It will not do to say his action was "for the benefit of the farmer," because the price of binding twine is no lower now than it was in 1898. His bill merely gave foreign workmen employment at the expense of the American workmen. It injured the latter, and did not benefit the farmers. "Would it not have been proper for yon to confine yourselves within certain limits—the one to the feminine and the other to the masculine portion?"The Tories about the country acted a« pilotd for the British soldiers, who frequently came in boats through the inlet at Chinocoteague and up the Syne pnxent Bay, the prosperous farms along the shore offering an excellent field for their raids.

Elate over this omen of success, he framed a business motto thus: "Honesty, discretion, watchfulness, persistent labor." "I beg your pardon, Frank. We did not regard labor as masculine and feminine. Albert is larger and stronger than I, but we both have human faculties." He had patently borne with her foibles, waiting for the improvement which he boped| would be produced by change of environment.

That would (five the British owners of the Broken Hill mine an added profit on that one mine, in gold, of more than 110,000,000 a year. That mine produces only 15 per cent, of the world's product, which Is mostly British. About an equal profit would fall to the rest of the silver mines, rwtwtly British. Here are two or three ! lit Mo sums for Messrs.

I don't want you to Injure your health and make yourself coarse." David's relations with Saul began a few years afterward, at the time of his victory over Goliath. Saul then became interested in David and took him to his court. He was (1) an armor bearer, (2) a captive over 1,000, (8) son-in-law by his marriage with Miclial, Saul's daughter, and (4) captain of the king's bodyguard. The friendship of Jonathan during this time and the treachery and jealousy of Saul are well known. His life, the last drop of his energy, brain and body, were always staked against his credit. Nobody should assail that at any cost. There should be no shadow on it. On July 8, 1898, Mr. Bryan voted for the bill to reduce the duty on lead ore, and to discriminate in favor of lead ores containing silver. This bill could not possibly benefit any American workingman. It Injured those employed in lead mining and smelting; it injured the men who delve in silver mines. Possibly it helped the men who deal in silver bullion—but certainly not one American workingman. He began by explaining to the young wife the difference between true and false theories; he pointed out the errors in which she had been reared; and, when he had said what should "The bargain wa» that you would practice law and I take charge of the home; but neither of us must be selfish, and each will call on the other for assistance when needed," replied Margaret, smiling sweetly.

Since the great decline has taken place in Japan prices for farm produce and merchandise, exccpt during the war, have not risen, but have remained about stationary because of the increased supply, but the price for everything that is purchased outside of Japan in a gold standard country has risen to almost double. Hotel proprietors and those who are forced to buy those articles that are necessary to the conducting of their business, and which are not produced in Japan, have now to pay double what they did before the great decline took place, and yet the hotel proprietors dare not raise the price of their rooms on account of competition. The proprietor of the Grand hotel in Yokohama told me himself that he was making less per day now since silver had declined than lDefore its fall. In Japan the horse is almost an unknown animal as far as transportation purposes are concerned, coolies, both men and women, taking its place. For thirty-eight cents in our money these Japanese runners will pull you in a jinrickisha for ten hours at a pace that would kill almost any horse, and yet these runners stand among the highest paid lalior in that country. At Saul's death David was crowned king over Judali at Hebron. Seven and one-half years later he also became the king of Israel. He conquered Jerusalem and made his capital there and raised the kingdom to a high standard and a commanding position in the world. David was a born poet and his psalms as religious lyrics stand unsurpassed. His life and words teach us many important lessons. "I fear I shall grow lazy," said Margaret. "I have too much leisure." Mr. Bryan's votes in congress were uniformly In favor of measures whose effect was to reduce the wages of American workingmen, and to diminish the amount of work open to them. He voted to reduce or remove the duties on imported farm products. Is a man who votes steadily to promote foreign Interests at the expense of our own to be honored with the highest office in the people's gift, as a reward for such action?

A good coachman can be had in Bombay for 10 rupees, or, say, $3.30, per month, and an excellent house servant and courier for 1 rupee, or 32 cents per day, with an allowance of 4 annas, or 8 cents, a day for his food, and those house servants constitute the highest paid class of labor in India. These servants are always men, and they commence their day's duties by bringing their master's "chota hazri," or early breakfast, at 7 o'clock in tl» morning. They help you dress and then proceed to wait upon the tablo, act as interpreter during your ride, brush vourclothes or pi|De clay your torpee hat when you return and follow you around like a faithful dog on every occasion, pack your trunk, keep off the horde of beggars that hourly annoy you, and when at night you retire they curl themselves up in their blankets and sleep on the mat outside your door, ready to answer your call. This is a fair example of the best paid class of native lttlKir in India. For a man of his reputed culture Mr. Bryan at times shows a wonderful lack of good sense and good taste. This feature crops out in every speech he makes. His declaration that the Creator did not use any superior kind of mud when he made financiers is a case In point. Such a statement offends not only our sense of decency, but of reverence. Even a nonreligious man turns from such irreverence with disgust But it seems to be Mr. Bryan's nature to say such things.
