A Child's Simplicity.
NOSASTA CLAUS THE It E.
Two pennies dro(iped on the ledge of
the brass-barred window. Tim nostal
.-ierk loolied up. Ho was out of sorts
Two holidays in succession had beju too
much for him. A little goideu head ap
peared just topping tho ledge.
"Weil?" snapped the clerk.
He had just opened his window in the
postollice yesterday morning and eight
hours of the hardest kind of work were
in sight. The little girl who had been
firnt in the line, hesitated a moment.
Then she plucked up courage.
"Please, mister," slw tieguu, "I want
a stamp for this to send it to my little
brother."
Jn her hands she held up a package
clone up in brown paper and roughly tied
with a bit of coarse twine. It was almost
falling apart in her liny hands. She held
it out to the clerk, who took it with the
same grace that h) had taken thousands
of packages during tho holidays.
He looked at tha address to sue whether
it was foeign or domestic Then tie look
ed at the child. There was a. queer look
in his c.v- that had not been thero before
Poslofllce clerks see many strange pack
ues aud any quantity of them addressed
to" Santa Glaus," lint this one was not
for Santa Clans. It read:
I Koun
rr mcsau(iiito.n. j
i llEWM, i
l-or a moment the clerk li su.iud.
Tii'i little ode tout: it for a iv.fti.vil to
ace pt the parcel because she haJ not
pad i nough for the postage. Quickly
the tiny liiiiids iiml.ha at a little purse
where two more pennies were in ke;pui
i hihe wei on the w indow ledge in a
moment with the oilier two.
"There's more iiennies, sir" said the
little one. Piease take it now. I Invent
any more pennies."
"Why, my child," said the clerk, who
had babies of his own at home, "I "
"Oh, please," broke in the little ooe,"
it's for my little brother in heaven. He
Uieil last wick and perhaps lie Is so
strange in heaven that God has forgoteu
to L'ife him anv Christmas present, And
he'd be so dissipointed."
Tears were in the clerk's eyes I y this
time he was thinking of the littlo flax
en haired one of his own at home. Tears
were in the chillis eyes too, and the little
lip was quivering.
'Oh, sir, it's all right," she insisted.
"This is my very own to giveaway.
Santa. Claus brought it to mo on Christ
mas. My papa dosu't know and my ma
ma does' tit know. They cried ou Christ
mas 'caus Uobliie had gone to livo with
the angels. But I want to seud some
thing to Robbie all myself."
Tho little one was crying now. Her
sobs came hard and fast. Her poor little
heart was on the point of breuking.
"Eobbie went away to God last week?
she sobbed, "and little Elsij has no one
left to play with!"
The clerk blew his nrse very hard and
then he explained that the mail did not
go where her little brother was so happy
with the angels. It wasn't bu-aiiso she
didn't have enough pennies to pay for it,
it was because the steam cars coulu't go
there, He was as tender as he could be,
and one woman in bla- k who had come
on the line that was kept standing there
because of the little ones pleading began
to weep.
So the clerk handed the package back
to the child and she turned away with
teat's of bitter dissapoinment in her eyes.
"Robbie will have no Christmas!" she
sobbed.
Just then the cover came off her preci
ous package. It held a little white lamb
tied with a pink ribbon.
"Oimnie ten twos," chirped a voice,
and the clerk turned back to the routine
of his wor!:. World,
The republican party leaders and the
gold standard press of the country, since
election ure tel ling the people that the
silver issue is dead, but there Is no dem
inuation of silver sentiment by the great
loders of the democratic party and they
declare unequivocally that the party
has taken no backward step since before
,! lion and uever will.

Tha mother enters tha church the

How To l-'iuil Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass wilh
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates: an
unhealthy condition of tho kidneys; if it
stains your linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too freyuent desire to pass it or
paid in the buck is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder ure out of
order.
Whnt TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root the great kidney remody fullilis
every wish in i-uring rheumatism, pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bhulder and
every part of tha urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold water and scal
ding pain in passing it, or bad effects fol
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often during the
day, and to get up 'ninny times during
the night. The Mild and the cxu-nordi-nary
died of Swamp Root tssoo i realis
ed. It stands the highest for its wonder
fai cures of the most distressing cass.

tax to the government and costs no one
anything, while the national took note
is based on bonds, and interest bearing
Imnds must first exist as a basis for na
tional bank notes. The second important
fact is that national tankers get the na
tional bank notes issued to them bv the
government at an annual rate of interest
of one per cent and they loan this money
to the people at from six to twelve per
annum. What the bankers want is for
the government to farm out to them at
one per cent per annum, the privilege of
famishing the money necessary for socie
ty. Nor do they stop at such audacious
propostion as this for, mind you, the bill
now before congress reduces the annual
rate of interest to the bankers from one
per cent to ono-qnarter of one per cent
per annum. j
This same class, the bank ring- wanted
to get rid of silver for the same reason,
viz: That it might have an enlarged
field for its money, the national bank
notes. And now the bankers are trying
to get rid of the greenbacks for the same
reason. They want the exclusive privi.
lege of supplying the money of the nat
ion for their special benefit and enormous
profit- Ghetts.
