to my home in Indianaiolis to notify me
of uiy nomination tor the Presidency,
my fiense of gratitude, jrreat as it was, w as
forced into the far background by an over
whelming sene of the responsibility of
leadership in a civil contest that involv
ed so much to my country and to my
fellow-citizens.
I could not Lope that mncb would be
found, w hin the record of a quiet life
had been brought under the strong light
of public ciiticism, to enthuse my party
followers, or upon which an assurance of
adequacy for the Lighest civil affairs
might be rested.
" No one so much as I realized that the
strength of the campaign must be found
in Republican principles, and my hope
was that nothing in life or word of mine

Republican control Lave, I believe, been
highly beneficial to ail classes of our peo

"You are an Irishm-m," said the doc

"Then w hy don't you take the pledge, I

"I only take a drop now and then

Irishman again.
Then the future cardinal explained
that he was a priest, and he had taken
the pledge.
The man crossed himself.
" Ah, th-n," sai l he "I never thought
I'd see such a bud day, to meet a prie-t

The Wrong Foot
There is a time to keep silence, but it
evident! w as not the right tiae in tbe
case of a boy mentioned, who lives in an
Ontario town. He got a sliver in his foot
and, in spite of his hrotestations, his
mother decided to place over his wound.
The boy ti gorously resisted.
"I won't have no poultices," he de
ckred stoutly.
"Yes, you will, Eddie." declared both
mother and grandmother, firmly; and
the majority lieingtwo to one, at bed
time the poultice was ready.
If the poultice was ready the boy was
not, and he proved so refractory that a
switch was brought into requisition. It
was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother was to stand with the uplifted
switch at the l-dside. The boy was
told that if he "opened his mouth" he
would receive that which would keep
him quiet. As the hotjpoultice touched
the boy's foot he opened his mouth.
"You7' he began.
"Keep still V said Lis mother, shaking
her 6tick, the grandmother busily appli
ed the poultice.
On more the little fellow op eced Lis
niout h.
P.ut the cplifted switch awed him in
to silence.
In a minute more the poultice was
firmly in place and the little boy w as
tucked in bed.
"There, now," said his mother, "the
old sliver w ill be drawn out and Eddie's
foot w ill be all well."
As tbe mother end grandmother mov
ed triumphantly away a shrill, small
voice came from under the bedclothers ;
"You've got it on the wrong foot !
A Man.
Troniinet in Canadian political life,
but careless of Lis dress, was once on Lis
way to call upon a wellknow n gentleman
in l .Mebec. and stopped an Irishman in
the street to inquire the w ay.
"Can vou tell me where Mr. Hunter
lives?" said the statesman.
"It's no use of vour c- unsr there, was
the unexpected rep'-,
"r.nt do you know where he lives ?n
"Faith, and I do ; but its no U3e going
there."
The inquirer began to get angry.
"I didn't ask your advice. I simply
want to know where Mr. Hunter lives."
"Oh. well, he lives down that street
youder ; but it's no use your going there,
for I've just been there myself, and he's
already got a man."
Mr. Hunter had ad vertised for a ser
vant the day b efore ; and the statesman
so the story ges , went at once brought,
and a new suit.
Truth.
Truth is beautiful as well as safe and
mighty. In the incident related below,
a bov twelve years old, with only truth
as a weapon, conquered a smart and
shrewed law yer, w ho was fighting for a
bad case.
Walter was the important witness in
a lawsuit. One of the lawyers, after
cross questioning him severely said ;
"Your father has been talking to you
and telling yon how ta testify, hasn't
he?
Yes, sir," said the boy.
"Now,' said the lawyer, "just tell ns
how your father told yoa to testify."
"Well," said the boy, modestly, "fath
er told me that the lawyers would try
and tangle me in my testimony : but if
I would just be careful anil tell the truth
1 could tell the same thing every
time."
The lawyer didn t try to tangle tip
that boy any moie.

The Preferred Creditor.
A good story is going the rounds about
a New York merchant who recently fail
ed for a large amount He called all his
creditors together and offered to settle
with them at ten on the dollar, giving
them his notes, pavable in thirtv davs
As most of the creditors had but little
hopes of getting anything they eagerly
accepted the projsition. One man,
however, stood out for better terms, and
all efforts to get him to agree were futile.
Finally the bankrupt took him out in
the hall and said :
"Yen you come in an sign rait Je nd-
lers den I make you preferred creditors.
"All right," said the kicker "under
tbse circumstance I ill agree to a set
dement.
The papers were signed and all the
crediters left except the one who had
been told he w as to be preferred.
"Vat are you vaiting for ?" eaid the
man who bad failed.
'Why, you said I was to be preferred.
I am waiting to know what I am to get.
" ell, I tell you you gst nothings.
"tiet nothing! Why, you promised to
make me a preferred creditor if I would
sign with the rest."
And so you are. I make you prefer

Her Rules of Conduct.
The following "rules of conduct" fell
oat of a little woman's pocketbock the
otlier day and she allowed me to copy
them. She is a belle in the small city
where she lives, and has a host of admi
rers aroucd her:
I don't let a rr an smoke w hen he walks
or drives with me. If he knows no better
than to do it, I promptly ull Lim what
I think of it
I don't give my photograph to men. I
used to occasionally, but I am wiser
now. I should hate by and by to know
that my face might be hanging up in
Tom, Dick or Harry's room.
I don't let a man take my arm when
he w alks with me. If he does I tell him
that I prefer Lim to give me his arm.
I don't go out with man friend just
because he asks me. I like it better if
he asks another lady to go too his sister
for instance.
I don't let any man "see me home''
from cburhc If he hasn't gumption
enough to take me there and sit through
the service with me he may stay away
altogether.
I don't let a man friend give me pres
ents unless it is something oftrifling
cost, like fruit or flowers. And I always
gauge a man by Lis taste in this respect
I do not encourage any young man
who is not perfectly polite and agreeable
to my mother. Whoever calls on me
sees a great deal of her.
I don't allow a caller to stay later than
ten o'clock. If he does not go at that
time I politely tell him ray custom.
A Disinherited Astor.
Mr. Henry Astor, a brother of the late
William Astor, a farmer of Columbia
county, comes in for a codicil which seta
forth that neither he nor his issue shall
have so much as one red cent to rub
against another. The father of these two
men, William B. Astor, gave Henry a
sn-al! amount of money, although he had
offended the family by marrying a re
sjctable girl, the daughter of a farmer
employed on the Astor estate at Rhine-cliff-on-the
Hudson. This was the only
offense charged against Henry, so far as
the public eyer knew. This offense will
not strike most people as being unpar
donable, and yet, in the eyes of the rela
tives, it seems to be growing in heinous
ness as the year go by.
It wasn't so dreadful during the life
time of his father, for that stem parent
conceded him a few paltry dollars; but
coming down to this generation he doesn't
receive so much aa a plaster, and a plast
er for the son of an Astor is mighty short
pasture, so to speak. Perhaps as the years
glide by and his offense becomes still fur
ther intensified, his branch of the family
will be required to pay in something
each year to the other branch by way of
further atonement for marrying whom
he f leased. It is gratifying to know that
Henry Astor has beeh doing right well
since he contracted this marriage, not
withstanding that his rich relatives
didn't like it. John A. Cockerill in New

Fruit as Medicine.
Grapes come first, especially black
grapes, which are most nutritious, and at
theRame time purifying to the blood.
Crape ceres are quite the fashion in some
pans of the continent, and are said to
work miracles at times. Peaches also are
most hygienic to the human system, as
well as being one of tbe most exquisite
fruits in nature. Nothing indeed is more
palatable, wholesome and medicinal than
a good ripe peach. Peaches, however
should not be eaten overripe. They may
be eaten at meals or between meals ; they
are particularly higienic when eaten at
breakfast. An orange eaten before break
fast w ill, it is said, cure dyspepsia sooner
than anytding else. Apples are also very
hygienic, especially when baked or stew
ed. They are excellent in many cases of
illness, and are far better than salts, oils
and pills. The juice of oranges, as of
lemons, is most valuable to make drinks
in case of fever. Tomat oes are also ex
cellent remedies in some liverand gastric
complaint, and are certainly more pleas
ant than medicine. Fig, raspberries,
strawberries, curranU arid cherries are
all cooling and purifying to the S) stem,
while lieing nutritious at the same time

"How much?"
"Just $r..O0O in cash."
"Was that all you had?"
"Every dollar. If jou could now lend
me a dollar I would try and get a fresh
start in the world."
'It wouldn't be business," replied But
ton, after a little reflection. "You might
accumulate another fortune and again be
rubbed of it, and it would be encouraging
crime."
"Yes, that's so. I hadn't tiken that
view of it before. Suppose you give me a
quarter. I will give you my word not to
attempt to get a fresh start on tnat and
expose any one to temptation, I see how
very wrong it would be, and I'm deter
mined never to accumulate another for

An Egg Story.
There resides in one of Baton's subur
ban hamlets a man who is notorious ns a
practical joker. There alw. is in business
in that place a grocer who has fully as
great a reputation for his shrewdness.
The joker recently entered the grocery
store and ordered a dozen ega. He paid
forty cents for them and ordered them
sent to the house.
That night his wife met him at the
door, as he returned home and inqnired :
"How much did you pay for those eggs
you orde"ed V
"Forty cents," be replied.
"Well, the next time yoa order egg,
you'd better pick them out yourself
said his better-half producing to his as
tonished gaze a dozen pullets' eggs each
about the si' of an English walnnt
The joker didn't get mad. lie simply
remarked, "I will get square w ith him."
That evening he went to the grocer
and remarked that those eggs were pret
ty small for forty cents a dozen.
"Never mind, eggs are eggs," remarked
the grocer as he chuckled knowingly.
The next day the joker bought two
hens and a rooster and carried them home
taking good care that the grocer should
see them, and learn that his former cus
tomer intended to get his eggs at home
thereafter. A month later he entered
the grocery store with a large basket on
his arm.
"How much are you paying for eggs?"
he asked.
"Thirty-five, cash ; forty trade," was
the reply.
"Let me Lave forty cents worth of
corn, then. Here's a dozen eggs."
The corn was put into a bag and pass
ed over. The grocer took the basket of
eggs and his customer left remarking,
"Eggs are eggs, old man."
"When the grocer opened the basket
he found a dozen robins' egm. And now
when he has pullets' eggs in stock he
always mixes them judiciously with the
larger variety. BoMon HeralL
A Toad Swallows a Centipede.
In the court house yard there are quite
a number of large, sleek looking toads.
One of these toads was seen by the loung
ers about the place engaged in an earn
est attempt to swallow something that
taxed his energies.
A closer examination revealed the fact
that the toad had seized a centipede by
the rear end and was slowly and placidly
stowing him away within his jaws in
spite of the victim's frantic efforts to es
cape. Nearly one-half of the reptile had
disppeared when the centipede, with
tbe unincumbered balance of his 100
feet, succeeded in getting a ground hold,
and with a desperate effort freed himself
from the jaws of the devourer and: was
moving rapidly away w hen the toad, re
alizing the situation, made a jump and
again caught his victim.
This time the centijiede seemed to re-
ralize the hopelessness of the situation
and frantically turned to the right and
left, each time nipping his enemy severe
ly upon the lips and head, but all to no
purpose. The toad would coolly brush
away these attacks, first with one foot
and then with the other, . all the time
taking the centipede in until at last noth
ing remained but the toad, calmly and
serenely seated ujton his haunches, con
sidering the next move. l'l 1'ato lhraLJ.

when the panU get on a tear it is all
wrong.

Cleveland and Defeat.
rUiliadt-lphi Bulletin.
The prospect is not one to inconveni
ence or alarm Republicans. Making due
allowance for the exaggerations of the
factional leaders, the fact remains that
New York is necessary to Iemocratic suc
cess and that Mr. Cleveland cannot carry
New York. Mr. Cleveland has an
nounced, in his oracular fashion that he
can be elected without his own State, and
this announcement has been received
with an enthusiasm that is more credita
ble to his followers zeal than good sense.
But the fact is no 'ess clear. Mr. Croker
may at the moment follow the example
of Jchn Kelly, and announce that Tam
many will support the nominee, but Mr.
Croker cannot control the voters. He can
not this manner control Senator Hill,
nor Senator Hill's immediate friemls. He
cannot control the thousals of voters
who turned from Cleveland ofter his
tariff message of 87. lie cannot control
the independent voters, who know his
reform pledges to be a farce. Neither
can he control that still more powerful
element which fonnd in President Harri
son the conservative qualities which it
desires to see exerted in Uie Presidential
office. These truths are apparent to
every observer, and they w ill simpy turn
any probable love feast in the convention
into a screaming farce.
In the long history of American
politics there has been no clearer instance
of a party walking deliberately into

principles of hygienic living, and in
many like ways checking the sources of
disease and degeneration, the knotty
problem would find its best solution.
The way we can cure is by preventing.

A Word for the Cat,
Kittens are a mystery of the beautiful
and graceful. The wonder always is how
the feline tribe could have developed at
the same time Tabby and a tiger. But
Tabby, while owing much to human
friendship, has put us in deep debt in

aeep sane wituout a iiet 1 know a
woman who began with habits of ex
traordinary neatness. She drove off all
the cats and gogs because they sold her
floors. Then she made war on flies, and
her horror was lest a visitor should let a
fly into the house. Her windows were

enter the house for fear a lly would come
too.
f course no one visited such a home
after awhile, and the poor creature was
qtiite daft Old maids that love cats are
sensible. It U far better than to fall in
love w ith a bioom and a scrubbing brush.
I'.iit really what a marvel of cleanliness at
well broil cat is ! They deserve cushions
and a place on the fire rug. Mary E.
Spencer in St Louis CUh--Di mocrat.

"And what are you going to be when

' Naw, I don t," said tl.e little fellow
sullenly.
" A manager, then V
u Naw, nor a manager neither."
"Vt ell, what will you be," continued
the visitor smilingly, " a merchant or a

"Naw," said the boy angrily. "Do
