with Porto Ilieo be right, that Petti -
grew is in favor of the policy.
Secretary (!age has been examin

Secretary Carlisle was always occu
pied in figuring up his deficiency.
Republican gains in Nebraska's
local elections are a favorable indi
cation of something greater in the
same direction in November.
Ex-President Cleveland has ex
pressed himself in approval of the

The United States is now the

porter of meats, which form one of
the most important features of our

direction this year.
Vrmor plate is likely to again
create discussion in Congress on

The Nesbit law is expected to do
for Missouri what the Gobel law

Senator Pettigrew is constantly
calling on the different departments

grew has the reputation of being
the most thoroughly misinformed
man in Washington.
The Democrats of the District of

Sulzer for Vice President. The
Democrats of the District of Col
umbia are not the least bit extrav
agant in their wants.
It is but natural for the Demo

up of the American marine. It
will be recalled that the Democrat
it! party claimed that American tin
plate was an impossibility.
Does anybody know of a piece

School Entertainment.
The annual entertainment, given by
the Sterling Run school, was held in
Maecabee hall, Thursday and Friday
evenings to crowded houses.
The program was finely rendered
and great credit is due Prin. D. B.
Peterson, and Miss Marsh, primary
teacher.
The quartette composed of Messrs.
CSoodall and Olmsted, Mrs. Moore and
Miss Nettie Kissell, finely rendered
several pleasing selection.
The drill, which was splendidly
executed by the smaller members
of the primary room reflects great
credit upon their teacher, Miss Marsh.
James Furlong and Clias May in their
"Irish" and "negro" parts, respec
tively made the "hits" of the evening,
both being peculiarly adapted to their
parts.
Altogether it was one of the finest
entertainments given iu years. Sever

A correspondent passing hurriedly
into the room of the committee on riv
ers and harbors pulled the knob off the
door.
"How can I get that fixed, do you
think?" asked the congressman. "Shall
I get the carpenter or the locksmith?"
"The locksmith, I suppose."
"No, sir. Were I to send for the lock
smith he would tell me to consult the
architect of the capitol. lie lias no
authority to fix doorknobs. Doorknobs
are permanent fixtures and are solely
within tlie jurisdiction of the architect
of tlie capitol."
"I)o you see that bookcase there?"
said tii- committee secretary. "I caus
ed the carpenter to paste some cloth
on flic inside of the doors in order
that the books might not show, lie
did the work, but when lie had finished
I noted that lie had not cleaned the
glass before he put the cloth on. The
thing looked so disreputable that I
asked him why he had not cleaned the
jrlass. lie told me that the glass was a
permanent fixture and that he had 110
authority to touch it, but that the plac
ing of the cloth upon it was a tempo
rary matter and was entirely within
the province of his labors. The whole
thing's got to be done all over again."

The following story will show the
high price that illustrators of reputa
tion command for their work: A young
woman who had received treatment
from Dr. S. AVeir Mitchell of Philadel
phia and was very fond of him decided,
at a recent celebration of his birthday,
that a fitting and appropriate gift
would be the presentation of one of the
original drawings of Mr. Howard Pyle
for "Hugh Wynne." Forthwith she in
vaded The Century company's sanc
tum and, with her fingers tenderly
grasping a new $lO note, asked to buy
the drawing. She was Informed that
these pictures were never sold unless
exceptions were made in cases where
the artist himself or the author wished
to make the purchase.
"Just so," said the yonng woman.
"I wish to present it to Dr. Mitchell."
"All, iu that case," said the gentle
man at the desk, "we shall take pleas
ure in giving it to you at the exact
price we paid for it, which is $100."
The little lady in her excitement drop
ped the $lO bill. The gentleman at the
desk picked it up for her and smiled
while she hurriedly took her depar
ture. The good doctor was presented
with a less appropriate gift that year.—

Clear niul to tlie Point.
The following is taken from a hotel
advertisement in the Calcutta Times:
"Gentlemen who come in hotel not say
anything about their meals they will
be charged for, and if they should say
beforehand that they are going out to
breakfast or dinner, etc., and If they
say that they not have anything to eat
they will be charged, and if not so they
will not be charged, or unless they
bring it to the notice of the manager of
the place, and should they want to say
anything they must order the manager
for one, not any one else, and unless
they bring not it to the notice of the
manager they will he charged for the
least things according to the hotel rate,
and no fuss will be allowed afterward
about it."
A Poultry Problem.
A Somerville man borrowed a neigh
bor's hen on the pretense that he want
ed her to sit. As soon as lie got the
hen he broke up the sitting habit and
got her to laying eggs. In the next
six weeks she laid two dozen eggs.
These he sold for 40 cents a dozen, and
with the SO cents that he got for them
he bought the hen. Now the question
arises whether the original owner of
the hen was fooled or not.—Somerville

Sinnemahoning Liars Club.
The liars club was called to order by |
ureat Annias J. V. Ilanscom. After 1
a few well aimed remarks by his assistant
the gavel sounded and the club was
brought to order. John Johnson was
called upon, and he said he cut a large
tree one day which happened to be hol
low and when the tree struck the ground
it broke open and twenty-five coons made
their escape, and still it wan'nt much of a
day for coons. He was fined eight cents
but he promised to do better next time.
Pap Blodget, who was sent to 1 (rift
wood last Thursday night to solict mem
bers for our club was called 011 for his re
port. He said that on arriving at that
busy town he found that the Emporium
club had sent a delegation ahead of him,
composed of 11. 11. Mullin, 13. W. (las
kill, Geo. Metzger and (.'. J. Goodnough.
Now to have made this list complete,
they should have sent in addition to the
above named gentlemen, Win. Dalrymple
and Fred Hill, and the town would have
been captured. The old man,who was shot
at a couple of times with three fingers
and no chaser, caught next train for Em
porium. After looking around for some
time, met "Smike" who ushered him into
a side door and tapped a jug of cider,
which he called the "pendulum brand.'
Pap not being accustomed to this kind of
a beverage did not admire the drink very
much, and said it reminded him of
creek water. Pap's report was accept
ed and placed on file.
Grundy Logue will tell us a few whop
pers as soon as bass season opens, lie
told a small one for a starter. Logue
said he caught a sucker 11 inches wide
between the eyes and weighed thirty
pounds. This storj was too much for
Tom Snyder and he hit Geo. Shafer a
left bander, knocking him over seven
beer kegs, and a general fight was started,
several members being badly used up.
Pap IJlodget especially, being hit with a
nut from a ten inch shaft. lieldin inter
feared and threw out seven old members;
John Johnson, also being slightly wound
ed. Hanscoiiie had a hard tussle, but
finally restored order. Being no further
business the club adjourned.
