Governor-Elect Shallenberger has
given the official plum tree another

been made glad.
According to the statement issued
by Secretary Gruenther, the Bryan

responsible for the election of Shallen

after paying all campaign expenses.
Over fourteen hundred of the faithful

get what is coming to them for the
part they played at the polls in de
feating Governor Sheldon.
The new Democratic legislature
will, no doubt, make a number of
changes in the present primary law.
As it now stands, no one is satisfied
with it because of the weak points.
One of the changes will be to substi
tute the rotation ballot, and another
will be the election of the members of
the various county central committees

W.B. Hearst, founder and sponsor
' of the new Independence party, is out
with a statement explaining why his
party did not make a better showing
at the last election. He says that the
party is too far ahead of the times,
bat when Mr. Hearst was stirring
up the animals on both sides, it began
to look as though he was playing for
recognition and to show Mr. Bryan
what his strength really was, the
people did not take him seriously.
fT main plank was radicalism, and
the Democratic candidate stood for
too much radicalism for the average
voter. "

ANCtfctif AtiERiGAi "
Down in Arizona workmen are en
gaged in uncovering' an ancient city
which was built by a civilisation
thousands of yean ago, and those who
claim to be more or less familiar with
pre-historic times say that the streets
of this ancient Arizonalcity was teem
ing with life a thousand years before
the children of Israel -were marching
through the wilderness to the promised
land. The recent discovery of ancient
manuscripts in the Vatican at Borne
has been the means of throwing some
light en the history of America before
its discovery by Columbus. - Ten
thousand Egyptian years before the
Italian navigator set sail to prove that
the earth was round, and thousands of
years before the Northmen visited this
country, ten millions of Americans, or
inhabitants of what is now called
America and of a country adjoining it
on the east over which the Atlantic
ocean now rolls, invaded Europe. The
distance between the two continents
was not as great at that time as it is
today, the American continent reach
ing nearly to the coast of Africa. The
ancient manuscripts found in the Vat
ican contained a description of the'
country and the people that inhabited
it and proves that they were well ad
vanced in what is called civilization.
Ruins found in Central America prove
that at least part of this continent is
older than Egypt and that there must
have been carried on between this
country and Africa trade and com
merce. When that portion of the
American continent disappeared
through some great disturbance that
took place on the earth, and the
ancient country of Atlantas disap
peared, and America, in the march of
centuries was forgottenand the people
that once reigned supreme here and
builded cities and canals, were wiped
out by some great catastrophe or de
generated into savagery. The history
of the world has been a succession of
tragedies. Civilization has succeeded
savagery and barbarism, and in turn
has degenerated back again to its
crude state. And so the successions
have gone on changing as continents
and climates have changed and influ
enced the trend of the human race for
unnumbered centuries. The claim
that even up to a thousand years 'ago
that the country embraced in what is
now a portion of the Dakotas and
Minnesota was an inland sea or an
arm of the ocean extending down from
Hudson's bay, has been partly verified
by finding on a farm in Minnesota,
while workmen were excavating for a
drainage ditch, the anchor of a viking
ship of the pattern used about the year
900. The ship either lost its anchor
"or was wrecked near where the anchor
was found a thousand years ago.
While the history of this country be
fore its discovery by Columbus will
never be fully known, enough has
been unearthed to clearly indicate
that this country was inhabited by a
giant race of people when Europe was
a vast jungle and much of the land
now embraced in the Chinese Empire
was part of a mountain chain that
reached miles above the clouds, com
pared to which the largest mountains
on the earth today are mere hills.

Do we love solitude? Do we love

a little of it to good for us all. It Is
worth while to get us away from men
occasionally, to walk with ourselves
under the high canopy, and to think
upon ourselves and out deeds of com

look upon ourselves with the frank

J. T. HEADLEY.
Again, in his old age, -La Fayette
determined to look on the young Re
public that had escaped the disasters
which had overwhelmed France.
When' his plans were made known,
our government offered to place a
national vessel at his disposal; but he
declined accepting it, and embarked at
Havre in a merchantman, and arrived
at New York, August 15, 1824. His
reception in this country, and -triumphal
march through it, is one of "the
most remarkable events in the history
of 'the world. Such gratitude and
unbounded affection were never before
received by a man from a foreign
nation. N
As he passed from Staten Island to
New York, the bay was covered with
gay barges decorated-with streamers;
and when the beautiful fleet shoved
away, the bands struck up "Where
can one better be, than in the bosom
of his family?" Never did this favor
ite French air seem so appropriate,
not even when the shattered Old Guard
closed sternly around its Emperor,
and sang it amid the fira of the enemys'
guns, as when a free people thus
chanted it. around the venerable La
Fayette.
As he touched the shore, the thun
der of cannon shook the city, old
soldiers rushed weeping into his arms;
and, "Welcome La Fayette!" waved
from every banner, rung from every
trumpet, and was caught up by every
voice, till "Welcome, welcome!" rose
and fell in deafening shouts from the
assembled thousands. During the
four days he remained in the city, it
was one constant jubilee; and when he
left for Boston, all along his route, the
people rose to welcome him.
He traveled every night till twelve
o'clock, and watch-fires were kept
burning on the hill-tops, along his line
of progress. Blazing through the
darkness, they outshone the torches
that heralded him; while in the dis
tance, the pealing bells from every
church spire, announced his coming.
The same enthusiastic joy awaited him
at Boston; and when he returned to
New York, the city was wilder than
ever with excitement.
In Castle Garden there was a splen
did illumination in honor of him,
the bridge leading to it was surmount
ed by a pyramid sixty feet high, with
a blazing star at the top, from the
center of which' flashed the name of
La Fayette. The planks were covered
with carpets, and trees and flowers
innumerable lined the passage. Over
the entrance was a triumphal arch of
flowers, huge columns arose from the
area, supporting arches of flowers, and
flags, and statues. As he entered this
wilderness of beauty, the bands struck
up "See the conquering hero comes,"
and shouts shook the edifice to its
foundation.
He had scarcely taken his seat in a
splendid marque prepared for his
reception, when the curtain before the
BEYOND ALL RANK AND WEALTH.
Dalai Lama of Tibet Is in a Class
by Himself.
Enviable among men is the Dalai
Lama of Tibet. He can wander in
foreign parts for years and no one
questions his right to name his suc
cessor in the person of the Tashi
Lama. The powerful malefactors at
Peking, from the emperor down to the
humblest magistrate, hate him, and
are afraid of him, but prostrate them
selves before him and contribute to
his funds. He is an irreconcilable
enemy of the railroads, to which he
prefers his sedan chair; but he rides
over them to Peking because he is,
after ail, a practical man. When the
Chinese officials argue with him, he
acquiesces, but nevertheless goes on
doing what pleases' him best. Who
ever openly takes issue with him is
blasted with spiritual thunder. When
he decides, heaven is on his side;
when he changes' his mind, heaven
does likewise. He can travel with a
retinue of 300 camels and "700 asses,
and yet escape the charge of courting
publicity. He "can refuse to make
terms-with the hated British, but he
can send the Tashi Lama to see what
can be done to arrive at an under
standing. "Free from , the common
rules of consistency, from all regard
for tradition that does not square with
your purposes, making your law as
you go along, you are to be most

As the late Lord Wantage, V. C,
K. C. B., was a soldier of experience

considered accurate.

gallery, in front of him, lifted, and
there was a beautiful transparency,
representing La Grange, with its
grounds and towers, and beneath it
"This is his home." Nothing could be
more touching and affectionate than
this device; and as La Fayette's eye
fell upon it, a tear was seen to gather
there, and his lip to quiver with feeling.
Thus the people received the "peo
ple's friend." From New, .York he
went to Albany and Troy, and one
long shout of welcome soiled the
length of the Hudson, as he floated
up the noble stream. After visiting
other cities, and receiving similar
demonstrations of gratitude, he turned
his steps toward Mount 'Vernon, to
visit the tomb of Washington. The
thunder of cannon announced his arri
val at the' consecrated ground, calling
to his mind the time when he had seen
that now lifeless . chieftain, I move
through the tumult of battle.
Wishing no one to witness hisemo-
tions, as he stood beside the ashes of
his friend, he descended alone into the
vault With trembling steps, and
uncovered head, he passed down to the
tomb. The secrets' of that meeting of
the living with the dead, no one knows;
but when the aged veteran came forth
again, his face was covered with tears.
He then took his son and secretary by
the hand, and led them into the vault.
He could not speak, his bursting
heart was too full for utterance, and
he mutely pointed to the coffin of
Washington. They knelt severently
beside' it; then, rising, threw- them
selves, into La Fayette's arms, and
burst .into tears. It was a touching
scene, there in the silent vault, and
worthy the noble sleeper.
Thence he went to Yorktown, and
then proceeded South, passed through
all the principal cities to New Orleans,
and thence up the Mississippi to Cin
cinnati and across to Pittsburg. Wher
ever he went the entire nation rose to
do him homage. "Honor to La Fay
ette," "Welcome to La Fayette, the
nation's guest,.' and such like excla
mations - had met him at every step.
Flowers were strewed along his path
way, luVcarriage detached from the
horses, and drawn by the enthusiastic
crowd, along ranks of grateful freemen
who rent the heavens with their accla
mations. Melted to tears by these
demonstrations of love, he had moved
like a father amid his children, scat
tering blessings wherever he went.
One of his last acts in this country
was to lay the corner-stone of the
Bunker Hill Monument. It was fit
that he, the last survivor of the major
generals of the American Revolution,
should consecrate the first block in
that grand structure. Amid the silent
attention of fifty thousand spectators,
this aged veteran, and friend of Wash
ington, with uncovered head, per
formed the imposing ceremonies, and,
"Long live La Fayette," swelled up
from the top of Bunker Hill.

Proper Bestowal of Charity.
Dickens: There are not a few among
the disciples of charity who require
in their vocation, scarcely less excite
ment than the votaries of pleasure in
theirs; and hence it is that diseased
sympathy and. compassion are every
day expended on out-of-the way ob
jects, when only too many demands
upon the legitimate' exercise of the
same virtues in a, healthy state are
constantly within the sight and hear
ing of the most unobservant person
alive. In short, charity must have Its
romance, as the novelist or the play
wright must have his.
Sleeplessness.
A good remedy for sleeplessness is
to wet a towel and apply to the back
of the neck, pressing it hard up
against the base of the brain and
fastening over this cloth to prevent
too rapid evaporation. The effect will
be prompt and pleasant, cooling the
brain and inducing a sweet and peace
ful slumber. Warm water Is better
than cold for the purpose. This reme
dy will prove useful to people suffer
ing from overwork, excitement or anx
iety. He Guessed It

KING'S MEAL NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Peasant Bey Rejected Fare That Sat
isfled Ruler ef Italy.
The king of Italy has very fragal
habits, and on one occasion, when out
hunting his love of simplicity led to an
amusing incident. The king was quite
alone, and after walking about for
some, time without obtaining any
sport,' he was at last lucky enough to
shoot a fine chamois. -
A peasant boy who had seen the
animal fall into a chasm offered to
fetch its carcass for King Victor, al
though he had' no Idea of the identity
'of?the sportsman. "Very well," said
his majesty, "I will wait here." "But
what will you give me. signor?" asked
the lad. "What do you wantr said
the king, smiling. "Oh, a franc and
half your luncheon," replied the lad.
The bargain was struck and the boy
wCnt off down the mountain side, and
soon returned with the body of the
chamois.
' The king gave him a franc, and then
proceeded to divide his lunch Into two
equal portions; bat the peasant, when
he saw what King Victor had to eat,
turned .away contemptuously, for- the
lunch consisted of a small loaf of black
bread and a large raw onion. "No,
thanks; none of that for me," ex
claimed the lad. "I thought you were
a gentleman, but I see you are only a
poor fellow like myself." - .. -

A "BOOST WITH EVERY SONG.
Young Man Evidently a Believer In
Judicious Advertising.
"About the most resourceful young
person .I've encountered in the real
estate line," said a Pittsburg man,
"came from Ohio. He secured a place
with a real estate firm. The second
evening he was in town one of his co
workers Introduced him to an evening
gathering at the house of a well
known merchant. The company, learn
ing that the newcomer possessed ft
voice, invited him to sing. He re
sponded with 'Home, Sweet Home.'
""Everybody was surprised at his se-.
lection, but as.it was well done. he
was" heartily applauded. Then he
surprised them some more.
"Stepping forward to the center of
the room, he said: "' ,

that it's the chance of your life for

Why He Did the Washing.
A' man came out of' one of the lit
tle roof houses across from the wom
an's window with a big basket of
clothes. He was followed by two
small boys, carrying more clothes and
clothespins. The man put the basket
of clothes down and began to sort
-.them out preparatory to hanging them
on the line. The boys helped, nand
lng him the clothespins and some
small pieces, one at a time. They
were a long while hanging out the
clothes because of their awkwardness.
It was evidently work they1 were un
accustomed to, but at last it was fin
ished and the boys went down IntoT
the little roof house, leaving the -man
on the roof. He stood for a moment
looking at the clothes, then going over
to a parapet, sat down between two
tall chimneys. The woman could see

ADVERTISING
A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON
written sy'SeymoW Eatea
Most department store advertising may be
divided ' into three classes: bad, very" bad, and1
damned bad.
Bargain advertising Is in the first class. It does
sell goods; but if well done it could easily make
. three' blades .of grass grow where one grows now.
-The "worth-$20-now-$12.50" bargain offer has
been done to death. The people buy the $12.50
article because $12.50 is as much as they want to pay ;
because they have seen the goods; because they
have intelligence enough to know that they are getting
good Value for the price; but for every one who buys
there are two others shoo-ed off by the roll-up,
tumble-up, throw-up-your-money hurrah.
An honest bargain properly announced is always
good advertising. If I controlled a newspaper page I
should use one-third of it, down the side, for legiti-
. .mate bargains. I should put the word "Bargains" or
'"Today's Bargains" at the top and with the descrip
tions of the articles I should give selling prices only ;
'say nothing in figures about values or cost prices;
use that space for describing the goods I should
make the descriptions as brief as possible, leave
everything to the imagination of the customer except
the selling price; and now and them I should omit
that ; let the customer come to the store to find out.
Then I should make these bargains look like charity
by very contrast ; by using the remainder of the page
to advertise my regular-priced; always-in-stock cloth
ing and dress goods and carpets and furniture and all
that sort of thing ; and I should make this department
so full of life and spirit and enthusiasm for the goods
as to make my counters irresistible.
The store that preaches is in the second class.
Preaching isn't -'advertising. It may be entertaining
and instructive ; it may analyze to a nicety the ethical
policy of the store ; it may impress the weak-minded
with the fact that this store is a great public benefactor,
a powerful influence for good in the community, a sort
of merchandise university which ought to be endowed
by the State. . But preaching doesn't sell goods ; it
doesn't even draw a crowd.
The formal, refrigerator, my-brass-plate-is-suffi-
dent advertising 'is in the third class. It has all the
dignity and drawing power of a corpse. Mark you, I
am not criticising the idea. The idea is fine. Tobe
a chosen people clothed in purple and fine linen; to
bask in the sunshine of wealth, or of aristocracy, or
of fame ; to eat .where it eats, to drink what it drinks,
to wear what it wears, to buy where it buys, to talk
what it talks, to dress your poodle dog with what it
dresses its poodle dog; to be somebody exclusive,
even one or two removed or second hand; that is
greatness; and people pay big money for greatness,
even for the varnish or veneer. It is the adver
tising that is bad. It might easily quadruple the
trade and yet keep within the boundaries of the elect. Ex
clusive people don't think. You don't need to put salt on their
tails. They follow a leader like a lot of sheep. Your business
as an advertiser is to capture the leader; the bellwether of the
set. -The rest is easy. The others will pay for the privilege
of standing in line.
Embalm and bury the brass-plate advertising. Use the
space to talk to your customers.. Some of them read adver
tisements. If a poor plebeian should happen to read about
your goods and wander into your shop by mistake let him do
the worrying.

to help; who has learned what things
are worth while; who values health

city has to give, can have them all in
Canada, and feel that she is holding
them not at the expense of others, but
with the toil of her own hands. from
