1 The industrial reaction which set In
the first of the curreut year U beobm
log to. evident that It Is seriously wor
rying the administration.
The biggest strike ever known In the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania
Is now threatened, ,. The operators re
fuse to meet the men on any
and the trouble wider the surface
that the miners hay only bad two
days' work a week for the past six
months. This sort of thing is not eon
duclve to the "full dinner pail."
The cotton workers of Massachusetts
have been, working on short time for
several months and are now asked to
accept A- reduction, in wages, Hanna
ihas been begging the manufacturers to
postpone the reduction until after elec
tion, but Massachusetts is regarded as
so safely Bepubllcan that employers
do not see why they should allow poli
tics to interfere with business.;
In Indiana there are at least 85,000
men In idleness because the iron and
steel and other trusts have closed down
thelf plants indefinitely.' '
Thousands of skilled, workers In the
building trades in Chicago are walking
tbe streets In Idleness. - To these most
prominent Industrial troubles might be
added scores of small strikes and lock
outs all over the country. . , .
, -ThDun and Bradstreef S weekly re
port are, .becoming more . and. more
guarded as election approaches. Dun
now fails toglve the- number of fail
ures In the same week last year be
cause It would show the alarming In
crease this year.
Russia's proposition to get her troops
out of China was ' a surprise to the
country. President McKinley might
ha ve had- the credit of withdrawing oar
troops after their mission, was accom
plished, but he vacillated until Russia
stepped In and took the credit
Tbe administration hates . to offend
Great Britain, but with the campaign
on it considers that it will be the pop
ular thing to at least give an appear
auce of assenting to the Russian prop
osition. ,,,if . ti
The English papers do .not conceal
their disgust at the policy of the ad
ministration and openly charge the
president with trying to curry favor
with the people on account of the cam
paign. !.-,.., -r..-, ".j. ,, ,
. This merely means that the adminis
tration does not find itself so free to
follow the lead of Great Britain as it
has for the past two . years, and the
lion does not hesitate to show his teeth
and growl at the defection of his recent
ally. - -
McKinley hasn't really any notion of
getting out of China, lit is trying to
make the country believe that he is
willing to do so. Preparations are go.

speeches and handed them over to

Boosevelt that ha must not ,get his
written speeches and begin to extem
porise when be gets on tbe stump. If
be does, be will be recalled at any has
ard. The Democrats would be glad to
have Boosevelt turned loose. - 1 C
Ilanaa baa better luck with McKlav
ley. . Tbe latter gentleman is very
tractable. He is siaying quietly at the
White House and bas concluded that
be will not make any speeches. He
asks no questions about the campaign,
but lea ves It entirely to Hanna. If his
pollcj Is not to be explained, he cannot
help that. He has tbe satisfying con
sciousness of having done everything
In the past four years. Just as Hanna
and the trust interests dictated. Ha
baa only beenatpaaslve Instrument in
their hands, and be will continue to
enact that role daring tbe campaign.
Tbe Republicans have now made tt
pretty dear that they do not Intend to
appeal to the utelligsae of the voter
They are going to spend money colo
nising voters, manipulating returns
gad dl riding the Industrial vote In the
Ma manufacturing districts.;
Bat facts are stubborn things. The
wageworkers will take stock of their
vendition. Tbey know whether or not
tay are prosperona, and they will vote
accordingly. They know that the re
Mecdon of McKinley means four years
snore of trust prosperity and trust
prices. That I about all the argument
they want

One of the leoflets sent forth by the
McKinley boomers tells, "what Repub
licanism bas dona ioc. wool, pork and
beef growers."
1 Republicanism bas made the wool
grow thicker and finer and warmer and
cleaner. Tbe farmers wore themselves
out washing sheep during the last Dem
ocratic administration. Since McKin
ley 'was Inaugurated the sheep have
washed , themselves. .They, hay not
only washed, but scoured their own
wool.: and.. given their, owners triple
prices.. With four years more of Mc
Kinley they will shear themselves, car
ry, their fleeces to market and bring
home tbe money for their masters.
: As for pork, .what hasn't Republic
anism done for It? It baa made the
bogs bigger and fatter and made their
flesh at once more firm and more ten
der, . It bas imparted to pork, and
peclally bams, that beechnut . flavor
which tickles, the palate of the gor-
maud. It has beaten the Weatpballan
article out of sight and scared all the
German swine breeders out of their
WitS.'
Who doesn't know what Republican
ism Una done for beef? It has simply
made American beef the only beef In
the world for" thoWwho 'knoW wrhat
good eating Is. Even the Russian gov
ernment comes to Chicago to buy
scores of shiploads of beef for the great
army It is sending to China with the
most paclfle Intentions , And this la
only a little bit of what Republican
ism has done for beef. ' ' '-.

But for the sympathy shown by the

Africa the Boers, would undoubtedly
have .brought the English to- terms
when Joubert and. Cronje were win
ning their victories and England was
hesitating whether to go ahead or not
with jlhe conflict. It was .the position
taken by the chief magistrate -of the
American republic that proved a death
blow to the hopes of tbe brave farmers
of South Africa by deterring Europe
from interference In their behalf. Tbe
son of McKinley 's secretary -of state
was sent as consul to- Pretoria to act
as a British agentv and ao. effort was

"Talk about killings,- said the old
turfman, settling himself back In bis
chair and pufflug away vigorously at a
very black cigar. "Why. 1 remember
one that makes my bind spin every
time I think of It. Ltt tue see yea, it
was bsck In 1S80. Just about that time
I had arrived from tbe .west and went
In for racing with both fort. A friend
of mlue owned a fast 2-year-old maid
en. Tbe horse bad a good pedigree and
was well trained, bur somehow was
never In the money. My friend bad a
great deal of faltb In the horse and
backed the animal every time It ran.

my money as I nave done for the past
two mohtbs, I don't know what will
become of me. -1 guess, I will wind up
In the poorhouse.'
" 'Why, what's the matterT I said,
trying to cheer him up. 'Don't be down
hearted, old boy. When you are short
you know you can always find mo.' 1
"That's all right,' he sold, but 1
owe you enough money already, I'm
going to make a hit, and if the scheme
goes through I'll have an the money I
want Tbe scheme Isn't strictly hon
est but that's the only way I can get
the coin yust now, I've been on the
quare long enough. Saying this, he
disappeared, and, I did not see or hear
from him for a long time. . -: J
i "One day . his horse came in second.
I Was very much pleased, and when I
found Jim I extended .my hood to con
gratulate him," To my surprise-, be
waved me aside and bung bis bead. I
Could not for tbe world make nut what
was tbe matter. ' t thought perhaps
his success had turned his bead.
'Jim,' I said, wbat is the matter ,
with yool I'm surprised. . Ton never
acted like this before. -There la some
thing certainly the matter. " Out with
It I say, or else I shall never have any
thing to do with you in. the future r-.
., u .1 know I hare? not been enrrvinn on-
right Frank,' he said, 'but if you went
through Wbst I have during the past
ten hours you certainly would, not
blame me. Frank, I cannot look an
honest man straight In tbe face after
today.--1 stood to win 150,000, buri'm
penniless now. .: It's all because I was
greedy and refused to part with an ex
tra f 10. .As you are no doubt aware,
my horse-ran second today, He might
have won bad I used better Judgment
and discretion.1
Then be went on and told me the
following tory He bad .told all tbe
other Jockeys In the race that be de
sired to win and unfolded his scheme,
Seven horses ran, and the Jockeys had
their instructions. -. They were to let
my friend's horse, win. -: All of the
Jockeys with tbe exception of one re
ceived a ticket on the prospective win-
My friend's horse was quoted at
20 to 1, and tbe six Jockeys had tickets
which called for 20O to 110." Some
bow or "other the seventh' Jockey- got
wind of this and approached the train
er of my friend's horse about It The
trainer told him to see Jim, which
did. : Jim told him to go to tbe deviL
He-said: "Go away, boy, and don't
bother me. ; You haven't got a chance
to beat my horse, and I am not afraid
of . you anyway. I got $10 left but yon
shall not have it' The Jockey persist,
ed that be could win If be .tried and
told Jim that be ought to be let In on
the deal. Jim was obdurate and re
quested tbe Jockey to go about bis busi
ness. , Jim somehow bod scraped ttn
beknown to tue about. $5,000. His
agents backed tbe horse all over the
country, and he stood to win a small
fortune.. '' , ,: .,'
"Well, tbe race waa soon off, and bis
horse was leading' In tbe stretch by
five lengths. He thought it was all
ever but the explanations. - On tbe run
home his horse waa still ahead by a
good margin, and In the excitement the
seventh jockey, the one to whom he
had refused to give a ticket, was for-1
gotten. But the Jockey bad predicted
correctly, and with a burst ef speed
that took the breath away from the
Spectators tbe outsider came to the
fore and beat any friend's horse out at
the not by a short head. .Well, when
It was all over and tbe- numbers bad
gone up and my f Hood's horse-
been beaten, Jim realised what fool
he bad been. . For tbe sake of aa ex
tra $10, which be certainly conkl have
spared, he lost tbe fortune. - Jin bad
only played- tbe; horse; straight and
this time- he waa clean broke. Jim
was tbe sorest man yon ever saw and

, The average dairyman, by Instinct or
education, bas come to realize that a
cow Is not merely on animal with a leg
on each corner; writes W. r. McSpar
ran In Tbe National' Stockman. Many
a farmer knows pretty well when he
sees a good cow, not because he bas
studied er perhaps even seen a scale of
points, but because bo does. He knows
there are cows snd cows, and tbe mote
he knows that tho more difficult It be
comes for him to acquire by purchase
such cows as be knows be wants. He
wants tbe bag and teats and body and
back and bead and heart and bide of
cow, and 'when be drives around and
finds this combination In one cow or

want to sell ber. If be goes to tbe pub
lic sale or auction, where a great many
kinds, but very few of tbe one kind, go,
and be picks out that one kind as meet
ing tbe specifications, be finds a num
ber of other men also who want ber,
and tbe man who is willing to back bis
judgment with tbe most cash or the
biggest, note gets ber,
Numerous experiences along tbe line
nt trrlne? to hnv such cows aa ha wanta
finally teach , bim . what be should
Ibave known In tbe beginning of his
.business as a dairyman, that be must
produce what be wants. And just here
;is where be Is apt to make tbe gravest
and most lasting mistake of tbe breed
ertrying to breed up and buying the
sire of bis herd "way down.-., -
: It is past tbe day of trying to serve
many masters In any line of business.
The tendency Is all toward specialties
and Intensification. If a man Is In the
dairy business, be Is in error when he
, tries to serve butter and beef from the
same dairy. He needs cows for milk,
cream and butter. As be branches to
ward beef be grows away from these.
He must select bis butter breed, and
hunt a , sire with individual merit
enough, to make blm conspicuous and
an ancestral tendency that carries
guarantee that he will produce lifter
his kind. Then buy him. He may cost
three or four cows, but buy blm. If be
Is a calf, clearly .defined to tbe buyer's
mind should be tbe bull be wants to
make him and then make him that He
must not be used until old enough and
only then according to his age and
strength. Wben bis heifer calves come
with a royal right to be better than
their dams. It must be seen to that
their rights are recognised by being fed
and cared for toward their useful cow
hood.
" There has been so much said and
written In warning lest tbe future cow
be fed so as to lay on fat and grow In-
to a beef animal Instead of a desirable
member of tbe dairy that tbe starva
tion plan is too often followed to the
permanent hurt of the subject, and
careful Investigation of feeding young
stock Intended for. the dairy will show
more spoiled by timid underfeeding
than by Judicious full feeding. A mere
matter of good feeding can scarcely
change tbe tendency of heredity, and
If you fill the coirs belly and Its back
gets fat send It to tbe butcher before
yoa lose a lot of feed and care trying
to make a cow of It If fed at all Intel
llgently, there will be no trouble with
tbe young thing that is to make a prof
itable cow getting fat. That is heresy,
but It Is the truth. Being well fed, she
will be big enough wben old enough to
make ber start toward cowbood. Let
ber mate be better tban she is. Try to
khave ber a cow wben 20 to 24 months
aid.- Having always treated her aa a
lady, treat her now as a mother as
well. Keep ber clean snd give ber plen
ty of' good feed and pure water. If
she-shows a physical defect breed It
away in bet- offspring. 4f op to your
Ideas of what a cow should be, breed
ber offspring to its sire and take a seat
among tbe public, benefactors, ? j.

I think It is not too much to say that
the wives and daughters of farmers In
this country bold the fate of dairying
In the hollow of their hand; says
George E. Newell In Tbe American'
Cultivator. .
t'nleas one stops .to think seriously of
the subject the fact of what a tremen
dous Influence woman exerts In dairy
ing Is not appreciated.
No matter bow wise m breeder and
feeder of milk stock a man may be, he
U not apt to be fully successful In the
home manufacture of milk without tbe
Intelligent co-operation of bla wife.
It is she who keeps the dairy depart
ment scrupulously clean and generally
watches with tbe solicitude of an ex
pert the delicate processes of butter
making.
I sometimes think that there Is an In
tuition In regard to dairy cleanliness
In woman that man does- not possess
that fits ber naturally for tbe bettor
dairy work of the two.
What a large proportion of farmers'
wires and daughters need, however, la
a better appreciation of modern scien
tific dairy principles, ; .: ;
For instance, woman by nature Is
tender and sympathetic nurse, but edu
cate ber as a trained nurse and she Is
ten times better. -.ij. . v ; '
Science perfects the Inherent apti
tude.
It Is so With the faithful, conscien
tious dalrywomaa of the land. Let het
grasp and put-Into practice tbe scien
tific principles of milk care and milk
manufacture, and sir becomes an in
valuable factor In the march of dairy
proeress. .
The wives snd daughters of farmers
all over tbe United States sboaid be
encouraged to study the technical side
of fine butter making, to enhance the
value of tbelr labor and Increase their
emoluments.
Tbe task of the average American
farmer's wife Is none too easy, and one
of tbe most prominent signs of dairy
Improvement would be to see the dairy
man trying to lighten the burdens of
the dairy woman, .
Give ber a modern, np to date dairy
bouse or room in which to perform her
tasks, and one profitable step baa been
taken in the rlgbt direction.
Dairymen, co-operate wttb your bet
ter halves In thejr efforts to produce
an Improved quality of butter. ,
If you send your milk to a manufac
tory, co-operate with them ta earing
for tbe product and see that they are
furnished with tbe beat of utensils and

Valae at Warns Milk.
' Dr. D. J. Kendall of Saratoga Springs
Is trying, with marked success, a food
treatment of especial valucwhlcb ha
describes as follows: . . .
The lost quart of tbe milking, or
"stripping,' taken Immediately after
milking, before It baa parted with ny
of tbe animal heat I the most valua
ble thing known to build up a person
who Is thin and emaciated from any
diseastt, ;: ';-:,.'
My theory for years bas been that
tbe "etrlpplngs" was nearly all cream.
which I have demonstrated to be
fact I also believed that when take
Immediately after milking; while
contained all tbe animal beat and be
fore any change bad taken place,
it would be absorbed at one Into the
circulation without going through the
ordinary process of digestion. This I
have also found to be true. .
I direct my patlenta to begin with
one-half pint and gradually Increase
tbe quantity until at tbe end of a week
they are taking a quart at a time or as
much as they can possibly drink with'
out causing too much discomfort This
should be followed up regularly twice
a day. i --- , u.,1
L I have known of many eases where
tbe patient could not drink cold milk
or even milk which had stood for an
houror two, and yet thesa persons
could drink a quart Immediately after
milking, without the slightest derange
ment of toe digestive organs.
It Is not aa uncommon thing for my
patient who have followed my ln
ctructlons to gain five pounds a week
In weight. No ether plan I have beard
of has proved so successful.
I have tested this plan to hundreds
ef esses in. tbe last few years, and
know that there are thousands at per
sons whose lives might be saved If the
above instructions were faithfully fol
lowed.

There must be an Irresistible fascina
tion in stealing for soma women, for,
although day after day the papers tell
of arrests for this crime tn the big
stores of the cities, stltt 4h practice
goes on, and la most eaaea women who
are beyond tbe touch of want are tbe
culprits.
One day not long' ago toward the
close ot the afternoon clerk In one of
the large , dry . goods - emporium'' on
Canal street saw, or fancied he saw, a
woman at the next counter -slip a holt
of silk under ber cloak. She -was a
person of middle age, with a plain but
attractive face, and her handsome at
tire and easy bearing Indicated a well
to do gentlewoman.- The clerk beckon
ed to a nearby floorwalker, and .In an
excited whisper told what be bad wit
nessed. .,v.
- "You're crasy," said tbe floorwalker.
"That tody is Mrs. ; she's aa old
customer and to simply above sus
picion." -
"I don't care what she la," persisted
the clerk. "1 saw ber steal that silk."
At that the proprietor happened to
pass and beard tbe story. He la a
man of much experience and habitual
promptitude. "Are. you absolutely
eertalnr be asked.
"I am, sir," replied the clerk.
The merchant' sighed and walker)
-down the aisle to where the woman
was standing. "Excuse me, madam,"
he said quietly; "will you kindly un
fasten your cloak f . ,
"Sir!" she exclaimed, taking a step
backward and turning ghastly pale.
"Throw open that cloak I" he said
sternly, dropping , any pretense of
courtesy, but still speaking In a very
low tone. :4'. ' '
Tbe woman's face had assumed a
frightened,, hypnotic stare, and she
obeyed mechanically, her bands trem
bling so violently that she could scarce
ly unfasten , the buttons, Under the
garment was tbe telltale bolt of
silk and a strange collection of mallet
articles a- pair of stockings, ' three
gloves, some isee. a quantity- of edg
ing, a while shawl a roll of )et trim. !
mlngs evidently things snatched up
at random as opportunity offered.
As . the- plunder , waa. ranged on the
counter tbe woman bung her bead and
began to sob hysterically.
. "Now, madam,1 said the' merchant
In a matter of .fact voice, "I have just
one thing to say to rou: Too have
traded here for over IS years to tbe.
best of my recollection; and were om
of ear most trusted customers.
won't charge these things to you, as li
usually done In such eases, and tht
affair shall not be mentioned.' But 1
must ask yon never again to com rate
this store."
"Suppose you had found nothing un
der the cloak," suggested a newapaDct
man, who chanced te witness the inci
dent from beginning to end; "wouldn't
that bare put you in terribly awk
ward position r' -.- ;-.,; -'- ,
."Tea." admitted the merchant frank
ly, "bat I was really taking no chances.
I knew to aa absolute certainty thai
tbe woman was a shoplifter before I
addressed her," - .
' "Is It a trade secret T"
"Well. It's one I don't mind explaining.-
I knew because she had what 1
call tho 'shoplifter's elbow.' By long
practice store pilferers acquire aa ex
traordinary grip with tbe left uppaf
arm and can bold anything with east

that side. Tbelr dexterity In that par

look at this woman I knew, she was
holding something under her cloak.
and then, of eouree, I bad ae longet

would never do to make a mistake, and
