William Randolph Hearst declares
that in politics hef^does
not know whether he is a Demo- j
crat or what This admission is
by no means surprising to those
who for some time have thought
that Willie did not know where he
was at.
Chulalongkorn, King of Siam,
who is on his way to visit King
Edward VII. and who may possibly
honor the '{States" with a
visit, is an excellent subject for
comic opera (if a king can be a
subject). Thi3 modest and retiring
potentate styles himself "The

of the moon aud supreme arbiter
of the tides.

A tangled mass of sunny curls^
A rosy mourn wiui gnsieaiug i

Sweet wondering- eyes of J
heaven's own hue,
tLike
violets wet with morning
dew?That's baby!
A rounded little velvet cheek,
With dimples playing hide and
seek;
Two arms that 'round ray
neck are laid *
To measure love were surely
made?That's baby!
A tired head that droops full
soon,
A drowsy nod, a sleepy croon,
The deep-fringed eyelids
downward creep,
And some one's in the land of
sleep?That's baby!

What sound is this that shatters
night,
And puts sweet sleep to headlong
flight?
A screaming mouth tills most
the space
Allotted to the human face?j
That's baby!
The neighbors'windows downward
dash,
Profanity in every crash;
While infant fingers tear my
hair
Until in spots my scalp is
bare?That's baby!
With visage puffed and sorely
clawed,
With eyes that smart from
beinir "Dawed,"
How can I face the "boys'
today
And hear the grinning- idiots
say,
"How's baby?"

WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF AFFAIRS AT THE
! THE CAPITAL, POLITICAL AND
OTHERWISE.
(From Oar Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C, April 2y.~
It is taken as almost an assured
I - - A - ? ? ? - A.- am U f n t '
I3.CI III political C1I C ics uac tna.L |
Wm J Bryan will be the next
Democratic nominee for the
Presidency. Of course Washington
between sessions is not the
best place in the world to gain
political impressions aside from
the party in power. But that
seems to be the way opinion is
now pointing. Mr Bryan's last
statement as to his attitude toward
government control of
railroads was a very popular
one, largely because it put him
closely in line with President
Roosevelt, who is looked upon
as the greatest exponent of corporation
curbing. So if Mr
Bryan is the nominee, the lines
of distinction between the
parties so far as their attitude
toward corporations is concerned
will be very slight indeed.
There is another story^going
the rounds, so remarkable that
it can be given only under the
caption of "important if true.''
It is that the attitude of the
Administration toward Mr Bryan
has changed mightily, and that
he is looked upon by the administration
as the next best
thing to a Roosevelt Republican,
for it must be understood that
Republicans these days are
chiefly divided into Roosevelt
and anti-Roosevelt factions.
The rumor goes that Mr Bryan
is being held in reserve as a last
card, and that it ttie cdoice or
the President for the nomination
is beaten and a confessed corporation
man is nominated,
that the influence of the President
will be thrown toward Mr
Bryan, not obtrusively, but at
the same time effectively, as he
will be considered the lesser of
two evils. Additional reason is
assigned for this report from
the fact that it is not believed
that Mr Roosevelt will take the
nomination again under any
circumstances and he thinks
that the chances for his winning
if nominated in 1908 would be
greater against a Democrat than
against a Republican. This is a
rather sensational story for anybody
to swallow. But the hot
weather is coming on when we
will have all sorts of rumors,
and we might just as well get in
on the ground floor and take the
livliest ones while they are hot.
Warnings are being sent out
from the Treasury department
as to new counterfeits that are
appearing aud one of the latest
is in regard to a $10 a bill on
the Troy National Bank, a
counterfeit done apparently by
a new photo-engraving process
and made up on two thin sheets
of paper with the silk threads
that distinguish the real govern
meat bill carefully sandwiched
in between them. It is said to
be a very clever piece of work,
and to mark a decided step forward
in the line of criminal art.
The department is having a
good deal of trouble now with
counterfeit coins of genuine
silver. Of course during the
time when silver was at the lowest
market price, there was a
good profit in buying the metal
in bulk and working it up into
silver coins of all sorts. Some
of these arc excellent pieces of
work, and as there was nothing
but pure silver in them they
were rather hard to tell from
the genuine. The principal work
now, however seems to be recoining
Mexican and South
American silver currency with
the American impression on
them. This is a labor saving
device in a way because the
silver is already shaped and
even milled, and all that is
necessary to do is to stamp it.
%

A curious fact has developed1
however in the study of these ,
counterfeits and that is that it is
almost impossible to obliterate
the original impression. It mayj
be struck out with the fresh
dies so that it is j^one to all j
nnnenrances. But it the coin is
Tl - "
"pickled"' i:i a mild acid solution
for liours, the original
impression will come out again,
very faintly it is true, but so that
it may be read with the glass.
It is a continual race between
the treasury and the counterfeiters
as to which shall circumvent
the other. But so far the
secret service has managed to
keep ahead of the game, and as
a new trick is invented by the
criminals, the government experts
hnd a new one in the pro
tective line.that will cap it.
The new immigration commission
appointed toward the
close of the last congress, has
been in session in Washington
this week considering the best
steam lines and most attractive
health resorts from which with
their families to prosecute)
their inquiries in Europe. This!
commission, which will start on
its arduous health resort tour
between the first and* the;
twentieth of May, is about the
greatest joke that congress has
ever perpetrated on the treasury
from which they will draw
all their travelling- expenses.
After all the investigating- and
reporting- over immigration that
has been done, it would seem
the government was in possession
of all the facts that could
be desired to act intelligently,
But there are few things that
can be so readily made to conform
to the requirements of a
pleasure trip as an immigration
investigation. All the time can
be spent in travel,- the more
diverse the sections visited the
better, and all the reports can be
written after one comes home
MrJfh tVia aid of a rhean steno
grapher, a Baedeker's a Guide i
and some back files of the immigration
reports.' A literary
fellow at twenty dollars a week
will do it.
One of the interesting exhibits
of the government at Jamestown
will be a sort of publicity
and promotion bureau for attracting
settlers to the newly
opened areas in the West when
the government is now establish
ing big irrigated farms. Millions
of dollars ha\ e been and are being
spent on each one of these
irrigation projects, and, truth to
say, they offer some of the best
and most attractive farming
land to be had in the world at
a price next to nothing- at all.
The government can get plenty
of alien settlers for these tracts,
but what is wanted is a large
leaven of genuine American citizens,
So one of the features of
the government exhibit at the
Jamestown exposition will be a
lecture hall where talks will be
given booming the new irrigated
country, and where pictures of
what has been done and is being
done will be on exhibition and
where all sorts of information
will be disbursed to prospective
settlers. It is thought that
audience will be secured of peo
pke from all over the country
-ind esneciallv from the South
? X y
and that it will be one of the
best chances that be had for
putting the attractions of the
new country before thousands
of the right sort of people from
all sections. It is the first time
the government has ever gone
into the publicity and promotion
business in this way and the
result is awaited with interest.

^j|/ The Difference In Piano&**^jj'
Ilefore you buy a piano try this experiment. It will disclose an
interesting condition in the piano business.
Visit a reliable house that carries a pianos of established prestige.
Have the salesman present the merits or this instrument.
The go to stOies where only very ordinary grades are carried. The
claims for these pianos will in most cases be practically the same as
those expressed for the fine piano.
Go still further. Compare the statements in the advertisements of
different firms. You will find the inferior piano described with all the
glowing superlatives that belong to the most artistic instrument.
Such claims are simply a challenge to your common sense. Test the
tone, quality and the action of the different instruments; examine their
workmanship, and you will require no further evidence of the differences
existing in pianos.
The fact is this?there are poor pianos, good pianos, high grade
frianos and artistic pianos. The responsible house will carry a complete
ine of reliable grades and show you plainly where they differ. Then it
is simply for you to choose the one you best can afford to buy.
Our policy is to serve all classes of patrons who want the best i
piano value for the money they have to spend. We have low-priced, J
medium priced, and high-priced pionos. A
We can demonstrate that every instrument we offer is the best tha^
can be given for tWe money, and we make no claims that are not justifi^H|H|
We discuss and explain clearly the differences in the variou- grades
give all possible assistance to the buyer.
