saw everywhere pictures of a full din
nerpail. The republicans used it as a
symbol of the working man's pros
perity. I have now been in Indiana
lor four days and I have not seen a
pieiuro of a single full dinnerpail, yet.
What is the symbol this year? Sen
ator Beveridge says now that the coffee
pot is the test of prosperity an- as
serts that we use three times t.s much
coffee as we did under a democratic
: administration. It Is a long stop from
a full dinnerpall to a cofTee pot. Cof
fee is a great deal thinner than bread
and meat. Maybe the laboring man Is
using coffee as a stimulant so that he
will not feel the loss of bread so much.

Settin' here tonight, I'm thinkin'
Of a home I ust to know; x
Sort o'starts my heart a-sinkln',
That old scene of long ago.
In a kitchen I'm a-lookin',
In a farmhouse in a grove,
Past old mother there a-coouln',
Is the wood box 'hind the stove.
Recollect, don't you, mister? ' .
You can see it same as me;
'Member how yer hands 'ud blister,
Now and then? An' splinters, gee!
See the chips an' bark it's holdin'?
Not a single stick of wood;
Hear old mother at you scoldin',
Tellin you to fill it good?
Ust to seem that box, you 'member,
Hardly gave you time to play
Kep you mad clean from September
Till warm weather come in May;
Seemed as though 'twould kill you,
still it
Didn't, now I'll tell you true;
Fer the chance I'd gladly fill it;
Yes, you bet, ah you would, too.

ceeded with his escort of rugged Amer

One of the first questions the native
asked was:
"Are you Christians?"
The suddenness of the attack might
have disconcerted the diplomatic cap
tain, but he was, equal to the occasion
and quickly answered:
"No, your highness, we are Bap
tists." ,
"It is well," was the reply.
They tnen proceeded to business.
With a Difference
When Captain Pershing, U. S. A., on
duty In the Philippines, was sent to
reconcile the native dato to our ways
of thinking, Jie was cautioned about
the chief's great aversion to Chris
tians, says Llppincott's Magazine. In
the eyes of the Filipinos there are
only two religions in the world Mo
hammedanism and Christianity, his
pr-onle representing the former and the
Catholicism of the Snaniards the lat

) about the white ribbon which is the
sign of total abstinence, 'says the New
ork Tribune.
"There are some persons," said
Mrs. Burdette. "who don't wear the
white ribbon with sincerity. They wear
it, perhaps, about as hypocritically as
ifr was worn by an employe of a cer
tain brewery.
x "This employe, after years of dissi
pation, appeared one day at the brew
ery with the white ribbon on his
breast. Nothing was said to him, and
he wore the ribbon for some months.
Then one day the head of the firm,
happening to notice the man's badge,
approached him.
M 'Why, Frank,' he said, 'it Is strange
to see you, a brewer, wearing the
white ribbon.'
" 'It does look strange., sir,' the man
admitted.
"'Well,' said the brewer, 'why do
you do it?'
'It is like this.' said the workman.

men Hire to tempt me; and when I'm
tempted I succumb, sir.'"

The tune has great qualities, and it
would be interesting to know exactly
where it originated. Everywhere.
A Tune of Three Nitfons
It is si fact -worth' noticing, that the
tune to which we generally sing "My

Hoar's Earnest Protest
Perhaps Mr. Hoar's most earnest
protest against his party was on the
Philippine annexation. The old sena
tor was an eloquent speaker and made
many splendid speeches In the senate
But none of them exceeded that which
he made in the senate in May, 1902,
on the Philippine question. "I have
sometimes fancied," said Mr. Hoar In
that great effort, "that we might erect
here in the capital of the country a
column to American liberty which
alone might rival In height the beauti
ful and simple shaft which wo have
erecfed to the fame of the Father ot
His Country. I can fancy each gener
ation bringing its Inscription which
should recite its own contribution to
the great structure of which the col
umn should be but the symbol."
And then he pictures the Puritan,
saying:
"I brought the torch of freedom
across the sea. I cleared the forest.
I subdued the savage and the wild
beast I laid in Christian liberty and
law the foundations of empire."
And then the Colonial:
"I stood by the side of England on
many a hard-fought field. I helped
humble ine power of France. I saw the
lilies 0 down before the lion at Louis
burg and Quebec. I carried the cress
of St. Geortre Jn triumph in Martinique
and the Havana. I knew the stormy
pathwavs of the ocean."
And then the Revolutionary:

rlf.nre of mv country. T nia"ea "ioj

right of the people to govern them
selves." And then ho turns to tho generation
of today:
"And now what have wo to say 7
What have we to say? Are wo to Iiavo

'Wo repealed tho Declaration of Inde
