9 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. 170 PERSONALITIES. i And Tet the Campaign Maintained Certain I.lvcllnens. "To what am 1 Indebted for the honor of this call?" It was Mrs. Mary Ellen Rlckctta who ipoke. Bho held In her hnnd the card ot Mrs. flamantlm Jenklnson, which had Just been laid on her desk by th ofTlce glrl, for the card was followed almost Instantly by the entrance of the i,erson .whose name It bore. There was really no necessity for the use of the card, either, for the two had frequently met. Mrs. Rlcketts was the candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket, while Mrs. Jenklnson was the Demo cratic nominee. Under the circum stances it was natural for her to be surprised at receiving a call from her opponent. "I came to ace you on a small matter of business," replied the visitor. 'Tray proceed." "I have learned, from good author ity, that your managers are bent upon a campaign of personalities, and that thry intend to give to the press certuln slanderous gossip about me, Intended to Injure my candidacy." The speaker pauHed, and Mrs. Rlck etts said, Interrogatively: Weil?" "Well," echoed Mrs. Jenklnson, "we must keep personalities out of the cam paign." "V must, must we?" ; "Wo must." 5 i Mrs. Rlcketts sneered. Mrs. Jenklnson waxed wroth. "Look here, Mary Ellen Rlcketts," ehe exclaimed, "don't you dare to turn up your su.ub-noee at me, now." "Samantha Jenklnson," retorted Mrs. Rlcketts, "my nose Is not a snub, and don't you dare to presume to dictate what my managers shall or shall not do In this campaign." "We'll see about that, Mary Ellen Rlcketts, you were engaged to my hus band In your young days, a good many years ago." "I'm not nearly as old as you, I'd have you know." ' "You are!" "I'm not, you Insulting thing!" . "You are!" I "I'm not!" ; "We will pass that point, but I want to say that when I married my hus band all your love-letters were still In his possession, and I have them now." , "You spiteful thing!" "Many a good laugh I've had over them. What a perfect goose you (Were!" , "I JuBt hate you, so there!" "And I merely wish to add that on the very first publication of a person ality about me In your newspaper or gans I shall print In the Dully Dugla every single one of your mushy, luclta dalslcal epistles. Do you understand?" The two women glared at each other a half-minute, and then Mrs. Samantha Jenklnson withdrew, leaving Mrs. Mary Ellen Rlcketts deep In thought. The campaign was conducted without any personalities. Harper's Bazar. "Uncle Ikri" I.ant Spree, "Uncle Ike," as they called him In Mantessuma, has always been queer character. Years ago, as the story goes, he lived up In the edge of Taylor County, and every Saturday would come to town to gut drunk and have a rouxlng time with the boys. The old man finally decided to emigrate to Texas, where he remained several years and then returned to his old place. The old man looked sad and dejected. When he was told that since his depart ure Montezuma had become civilized enough to have sidewalks and the tele graph. He could not believe it till ho went to town and saw it with his own eyes, and when he realized the truth the old man wept like a child. He hunted up the mayor and told him lie was 60 years old and had no hope of living through the winter. He had come to town expecting to get drunk ride his old mule through saloons, and do considerable, shooting and yelling, and It saddened the mayor's heart to be obliged to tell him that any such conduct would result In his arrest. Tears were falling down his ngert cheeks as he anked oflleial permission to ride through Just one saloon and shoot six holes in the mirror behind the bar. When the mayor hud to refuse It he begged to be allowed to gallop up and down the street and shoot at glass Insulators on the telegraph poles. His honor couldn't canctlon that, either, but after discussing the matter he made a compromise with him. It was agreed that he might stand on the public square and utter a dozen old-time hoots and then go and get drunk, but there ias to be no riding or shooting. Old Ike selected 7 o'clock In the even lng as his hour, and the city marshal was on hand to count his hoots. The first three brought everybody into the street, and the next three started half the population out of town. The lust fine was a grand wind-up, which Jurrcd the shingles on the roofs, and when he got through the old man felt himself ten years younger. An hour later ha Xvha blind drunk, and, by the mayor's dlreetlon, he was laid away on a bed cf shavings In a carpenter shop. The mayor didn't deny that it was agninst the ordinance, and he certulnly had no legal authority to permit it; but he wanted to make old Ike happy nee more, and he was willing to take the responsibility.

The low prices now prevailing are due to a want of demand on account of tiie electric c;.r system, which has lieen so generally established throughout the cities and me parts of the country for rapid transportation. 1 his is, no doubt in some part, the cause of the wcrk demand for horses in the marke s. There is, however, another cause, which will be found in overproduction. A few years ago the horse craze, as it may be called, prevailed among farm ers, ana there was scarcely anyone who was not breeding cither first-class roadsters or blooded drivers. For these, for a few years, first-class prices were obtained, and the demand, which was at the time a ficticious one, produced a sort of boom in horseflesh, with an over supply, and now there are too many for the market, which has for the time been somewhat di minished by the electric car lines. But good horses are always desiable, and will in the near future bring bet ter prices than now. Farmers will understand what they need, an J for a while, perhaps, the supply will be short of the demand, but the price will again settle to a fair compensation lor tiie trouble and risk in raising good horses. Good family horsse will always be in demand in the cities and in prosperous villages. Cars may carry men to business, and women to tneir shopping, but there is a demand, in hours not spent in business, for a carriage horse to supply the need felt by every well-to-do family that they may have a restful airing in the parks and in the suburbs of the city. Farmers would do well to turn their attention to raising horse to supply this want. Horses should be raised of the best blood, not for the turf, but for the carriage, and as much care should be taken m the training for this purpose, as is necessary to produce good con ditioned, quiet, trusty horses suited to driving through all the bustle and noises of the city. This will require time and care in, the trainer, but such horses will always have a good sale, and can be profit able raised. Give us good family horses and the demand will be sufficient to pay the producer a good profit. Farm Neivs. " Nothing venture, nothing have." Rev. Johu Reid, Jr , of Great Falls, Mon., recommended E'y's Cream Balm to me. I can emphasize his statement. " It is a possible cure for catarrh if used as directed." Rev. Francis W.

Is larger than any weekly or semi-weekly paper published and is the only important Democratic "weekly'' published in New York City. Three times as large as the leading Republican weekly of New York City. It will be of especial advantage to you during the Presidential campaign, as it is published every other day, except Sunday, and has all the fresh ness and timeliness of a daily. It combines all the news with a long list of interesting departments, unique features, cartoons and graphic illustra tions, the latter being a specialty. All these improvements have been made without any increase in the cost, which remains at one dollar per year. . We offer this unequaled newspaper and the Columbian and Farm News together one year for $1.75 The regular subscription price of the three papers is $2.50. It is reported that an eight foot vein of good coal has been found on the Stevens tract of land, above Elk Grove. We are informed that parties are endeavoring to lease the land, but that the owners refuse unless a clause is inserted binding the lessees to de velop the mine and continue opera tions from the date of leasing. If the report of finding such a vein of coal there is true, Elk Grove and Emmons will yet become lively, booming towns. Is'nt it strange that some people must always be late. It matters not to those whether they disturb a church congiegation or an opera house audi ence so long as they can make them selves the center of all eyes by coming in one half hour after the services or the performance have commenced. It's about time such people get a move on.

The Annual Meeting of Association wag held in the Broadway ttDuane St., New York City, on Wednesday, Jan uary -J'Jnd, and was attended gathering of policy holders who the masterly Annual Report of Many policy holders evidently regarded this as a favorable opportunity to meet face to face the new chief executive oflicer of the Association, President Frederick A. Burnham, the man whose grasp of life insurance, whose keen executive ability and strong individuality have enabled him to take up the work laid dewn in dealh by the founder of th-j institution, the late Ed ward B. Harper, and make of President, not an echo or copy ot that ot his predecessor, but a piece of finished work, characteristic of a man of independent views, and worthy to follow the work which had carried the Association to a position never attained in the same length of time by any life insurance organization in the world. It is rare, indeed, that a great institution like this passes, without check to its prosperity, through a change in the executive chief, for it is rare indeed that a chief like the late Mr. Harper finds so able a successor as President Burnham. The record of the year 1805 speaks for itself, and shows the following gratifying results. The GROSS ASSETS have increased during the year from $5,530,115.99 to $5,GG1,707,82. The NET SURPLUS over liabilities shows a NET GAIN for the year of $30G,329.4:J, and now amounts to $3,582,509.32. The INCOME from all sources shows a gain for the vear of $031,541.97, and amounts to $5,575,281.50. DEATH CLAIMS to the amount of $4,08-1,074.92 were paid during the year, an increase over the previous year of $1,013,500 91. The BUSINESS IN FORCE shows again for the year of $15,293,205, and now amounts to 308,059,371. Counting three hundred working days in the year the daily average income for 1895 is $18,584.27; the daily average payments for death claims, $13,052.25, and the daily average gam iu business in force within a fraction of $51,000. it-jTI'crsons desiring insurance, an agency, or any other information concerning the MU TUAL RKSLKVE FUND LIr'K ASSOCIATION may apply to 7", 53 Downing IHuck, Hi.vsiiciiiaalioBi nnd CofifisciltsUioia Free.
