John
BY ALFBED
They lived on the line their father was dead '
A man frcm the South to a North woman wed
Who. brought up her sons to stand in his stead ;
Not uncommon boys with long uncommon names
The elder was John and the younger was James
And so near of an age they played the same games ;
They went to one school they read the same books
They slept in one bed Hill at last e'en in looks
These brothers were like as the stars in the brooks.
But one day the drum-beat rang down through the land
John said : "By the Union Fm going to stand!'7
Jim heard him the brothers then stood hand in hand
"The South is the land from which father came
There are buried the men who have borne our name"
So they parted but each loved the other the same.
The battle-tide swept from the East to the West
And the green vales blushed red with the blood of the best
And Jim died 'neath the bars on Mission Eidge crest
John fell in a charge on the gray lines of Lee
'Neath the banner he bore and hoped to see free
From the East to the West from the lakes to the sea.
The war closed these brothers were borne to the line
Jim in gray from; the Bidge John in blue from the Mine
And men said to the mother: "These soldiers are thine!"
By the tide of their father they sleep on the hill
And that mother with bowed head obeying God's will
Set flowers on each grave and tear-waters them still.
Now ye who ne'er fought but who snarl o'er the dead
Say whose was the nobler or braver blood shed
His who fell on the Ridge his who at the Mine bled ?
Oh mother our country ! Oh Spring of our skies
On one breast brothers sleep; at one call flowers rise
O'er the blue and the gray God only is wise.
Brother from th
e Southland

Texas Crops.
Galveston Tex. May 22. The
Texas weather service in co-oper
ation with the United States
Weather Bureau issued the week-
ly weather and crop bulletin this
evening for the week ending May
21. It gives the crop condition of
Texas as follows: "The cotton
crop has been worked generally
throughout the . State and as a
rule it is in fair condition. High
winds on the 18th and Kith dam-
aged the crop slightly over the
northeastern portion of the State.
Cool weather with light frost on
the morning of the 20th slightly
injured cotton over the extreme
northern portion of the State. The
weather with these exceptions
was very favorable for cotton
and the crop is growing nicely.
Maize was damaged slightly over
the eastern portion of the State
by high winds on the 18th and 19th
and the cool weather checked its
growth to some extent over North
Texas.
"The correspondents generally
state that early planted corn is
needing rain and if good showers
should occur during the coming
week a fair crop of corn will be
insured. Insects are injuring
wheat slightly in some localities
but otherwise the crop is doing
well. Early wheat has commenc-
ed ripening in some sections.
Oats are doing very well and the
prospects are promising except
over the southwestern portion of
Central Texas where the dry
weather has injured the crop gen-
erally. Bice is doing very well
over the East Coast district
where the plant is being cultivat-
ed. Farmers as a rule are gener-
ally up with their work and have
their crops in fair condition.
Good showers would be generally
beneficial to all crops."
Number of Coxeyites.
Washington D. C. May 23.
Representatives Davis and Taube-
neck have been making a careful
estimate of the different bands of
Coxeyites on the way; to Washing-
ton and they claim that there are
5000 men tramping or riding on
boats or borrowed trains toward
the capitol.

The Fashions.
Blouse waists in every style
were never in greater favor than
at present.
Black and white effects are still
the rage. '
Very pretty sheperds' check?
changeable silks are used for fan'
cy waists blouse vests; and ac-
cessories on plain fine wool
gowns.
The full portions of every large
gigot or mutton-leg sleeve are
variously stffened by various
dressmakers : some preferring
book muslin others light India 1
linpn whiii Athflw. ooaiti iiqo ihiwl
linen while others aain use thin
crinoline or double tarlton cased
by sewing the fabric together and
run through with featherbone
stiffening. The latter mode is al-
so used for revers flaring collars
and skirt edges.
Fayetta costumes are made up
by fashionable dressmakers as
skirt and bolero jacket to wear
with shot and dotted taffeta or su-
rah silk waist or else one of plain
corded silk of some becoming
shade striped with lace insertion.
This forms a pretty and approprin
ate costume for morning or after
noon wear all summer. Gold
brown gray navy blue fawn color
green and black dyes are used for
these dresses.
Plain and dotted pique or linen
duck is made up together for
street suits for the summer.
Sometimes the dotted material
forms the costume and the plain
pique the vest and vice versa.
Some of the new white wool
capes are collaret ted and lined
with moire and frequently there
are a parasol and sailor hat en
suite.
Notes on Laces.
Green in the rush lime and re-
seda shades is worn.
A note of black .runs through
most of the fabrics toning down
the sometimes too exuberant col-
or. A. rather conspicuous departure
in lace has a ground of fine black
brussels net with an applique fig-
ure in white or cream.
Fuchsia cerise and ruby are
among the intense shades of red
now so fashionable. They all sav-
or somewhat ol the oldtime ma-
genta. Jetted and spangled lace in
Vandyke effects in Brussels net'
are intended for trimming the
lighter silks which will be worn
during the summer.
The Vandyke point after being
in disgrace for some time has
made its reappearance as among
the new laces those in pointed ef-
fectsare shown in new combina-
tions. Insertion and bands of black
crepe wrought in a fine soutache
pattern is a new trimming for
mourning silks. A point de Gene
border in black silk and one wjth
meshed lace wrought in tape work
are; also used for this purpose.

The wild and mmreaaoMkle ep.
position te state banks it fradaal-
ly dying ot in the eaet ;'; '
(Recently The Hew York Jokr-
iud of Finance admitted that the
repeal of the state bank tax nnder
proper conditiene wemld mot be a
bad thing. This coaaerratiTe pa-
per says ithat the thing to do is to
satisfy the public that the pro-
posed system is as safe aa the
present doe. It therefore fevors
government saperrision eren if
national responsibility ' is not
maintained.1 The disadvantages
of thetional banks are greater
than their advantages and.' many
lf the banks could Jbje profitably
operated inder state charters
t'he repeal of ' the sta$e bank tax
lender proper conditions will not
hurt anybody.'
. Government supervision is net
Objectionable but absolute federal
eontrol woild simply give us the
9ld national banks in the disgiise
pf state institutions. This is the
ganger to be guarded against
j3ome of the eastern opponents of
pittie uuukb are wording a aneme
by which they hope to perpetuate
jthe monoply of the national bank-
ing system ih the shape of so-
called state banks which will be
completely under federal super
vision and control. The banks
will be of special benefit to the
west and south and other commu
nities which have felt the serious
disadvantage of doing business
without a local currency.- What
is needed is a system of local
banks of issue like the old state
banks and if they are watched by
federal bank examiners nobody
will object. '. But federal authorty
should stop right here. It will
never do to permit state institu-
tions tb be controlled by the gen
eral government.
The importance of a local cur.
remjy 8 becoming o
every year. This 'is a
ore manifest
vast conn-
trv with diverse interests and the
money needed to move the. crops
of the far west and the far south
and for the everyday' business of
those sections should not be con-
gested in a remote corner of the
republic and controlled by a sec-
tional money ring as is the case
at present. I
Many states are now practical-
ly the in same situation that some
of the continental countries of
Europe would be if they; denend
tip on Franqe and Germany for
their currency. A small country
like Switzerland accepts in the
ordinary course of .business the
currency of neighboring countries
but the necessity of having a local
currency with the homing quality
forces it to issue its own money.
For the same reason we need
state banks whose notes will hov-
er around or speedily return to
the place of issue. '- For general
circulation there should be a fed-
eral currency. Under our peculiar
conditions we need a general and
a local currency as much as we
need a local government Atlan-
ta Constitution.

Getting Down to Wood.
Burlington Io. May 22. -The
situation in Burlington as to fuel
supply is narrowing down to
wood. Fully one-half the manu-
facturers in the city are using
wood or combination of wood and
coal. Steamboats on the river are
using wooji Local dealers fig-
ure the sirike will not last longer
than July 1 and state there is
enough wood within 50 miles of

Cincinnati O. May 22. After
all the efforts jof the police to hold
Frye's industrial army outside the
city the letter made their tri-
umphal entrance into the city to-
day and pitched their tent on Hul-
bert place adjoining the ballpark.
The co-operation j of labor organi-
sations prevented the authorities
from stopping the industrials.
Now the situation is regarded as
more serious than ever. There
were some recruits to-day so that
the army numbers about 400.

I lately heard an amusing new
definition to "old maid" which
was held to apply not to elderly
spinsters in general but only to
such as never had' a chance of
their condition: those
condition;
who "would not when they could."
or whose course of true love has
run rough receiving the more re
spectful title of "maiden ladies.'7
The idea emanates from a mascu-
line brain but the difficulty of as-
certaining which designation ap-
ples in individual cases is a prob-
lem which the superior male intel-
lect has not condescended to solve
says the Ladies' Pictorial.
Are old maids under this defini-
tion to be expected to wear some
particular form of cap or have
their hat cut in a special fashion
or add the letters uO. M." to their
visiting cards? lam convinced
that there are very few women in-
deed whose experience has failed
to include a love affair of some
kind and of these few only a small
minority would acknowledge the
fact . 1
A more correct idea of the term
it seems tb me and one which
takes away its old-fashioned sting
is that it describes a certain type
of women irrespective of her con-
dition in life. The prim narrow-
minded person who fusses over
trifles who would leave matters of
the most paramount duty or en-
grossing interest in order to put
tidy a drawer or sew on a button ;
who goes all her life in fear of
Mrs. Grundy and would leave any
kind action undone or kind word
unsaid if it ran the slightest risk
of offending that potentate would
be old-maidish in spite" of. any
number of matrimonial ventures;
while on Ihe other hand there are
plenty of liberal-minded youthful-
hearted old susses to whom the
epithet is so obviously unsuitable
that no one thinks of applying it.
Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent
physician of Lewis Cass county'
Iowa and baa been actively en-
gaged in the practice of medicine
at that place for the past thirty-
five years. On the 26th of May
while in Des Moines en route to
Chicago he was suddenly tajken "
with an attack of ; diarrhoea.
Having sold Oliamherlaim's Colic r
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for the past seventeen years1 and .
knowing its reliability Be procur-;
ed a 25 cent bottle two doses of:
which completely cured him.'
The excitement and change- of
water aid diet incident to travel-
ing often produce a diarrhoea.
Every one should procure a'
bottle of this Bemtedy before
leaving home. For sale by-
