It seems a newspaper In this town cannot express an honest opinion with out being threatened with a boycott. If the publisher wants to say anything : on politics, he is in danger of losing the advertising patronage of a merchant : who is In politics or who has a friend in j politics, if the article does not suit them, j If he criticises the council or school board he gets left when there is any printing to be done—although any member of either body will tell you on the street that lie is a public servant and open to crltiscism and that all human beings are liable to make mis takes. If we publish accounts of prize fights, we lose church patronage —although members of the churches are on hand to see the battles; if we attempt to give the trolley company a hot shot for charging big fares or for not paying their car MIR. long since due, we lose our pass, as we have now. A number of merchants are now boy cotting us on account of politics. Last' year the school board was down on us because we criticised what we consid ered an unjust act on their part. And now, because we expressed an honest opinion on the difference existing bo tween the clerks and one of our mer chants. we aro told that that opinion is going to do us harm. And so it goes. However, "a news paper without enemies is not wortli the paper it is printed on.'' A newspaper without principle will try to please every ono. An honest newspaper, fearless for justice to all, cannot. ItoNton Plnta. Haney—Miss Stetsan says she doesn't ' like her surroundings where she is liv ing now.

When the un every morning looks down on the earth, He is smiling, as much us to say: "If yesterday failed you in comfort ami mirth, You can start in brand new with today. For the nights, like thick curtains, I've hung to exclude The past from the weary and weak; So prithee be doing nor linger to liroud O'er the troubles that happened last week. "There are pages of pathos and pages of cheer To he read in each story of life. We'll close the old chapters ami still persevere Through lost or good fortune or strife. Though present events may provoke our dismay, A solace 'tis easy to seek; Let the hours drift away; you will soon find that j they Are but troubles that happened last week." —St. Louis Republic. fFEAR THOU NOT j T A Tale of the French T 4* f Revolution. 4 ■foe a sii|iis.|ihii|i s.ifr.frianfr.infr.s.if. sn|nsidM<ji There are few who have not hoard or read of the great French revolution of j the last century, when cruel men selz- | ed on the government of France, when human life was of no account and j when, as if wearied with its wicked ness, God seemed to have hid his face from the sinful land. No one may count up the tears that were shed, the moans that were made, the hearts that were broken in those dreadful times, but here and there out of the great mass of human misery his- I tory has preserved a record of the trials 1 and sufferings of some hapless ones, ! reading which we shudder and thunk God that we live in happier days. Some few years after the reign of terror—as this outburst of sin and madness was well named—a man of middle age entered a small inn in Ger many and called for refreshments. Ills manners were timid and shrinking, and he looked as if he might just lmve re covered from some terrible illness—lie was so strangely, ghastly pale. The landlord supplied his wants, and. half curious, half in kindness, ho made some remark as to the stranger's ap pearance, coupling it with the ques tion, "Do you want aught else for your comfort?" "Nay, nothing," said the pale man hastily. "I have food and light and : air. What could I want more?" And | he sighed deeply. * "My friend," said the landlord, seat ing himself, "you speak as if you had j known the want of these things. Have I guessed aright?" His guest looked up. "Would you hear my tale?" he ask- j ed. "For years I have kept silence, but j today it seems as if it would lighten my heart to speak. Listen and believe It if you can. Less than seven years ; ago I was a gay, light hearted youth in this our quiet fatherland. Having no near relations, I was led to visit some distant ones who had lived for many years in a small town in France. "My uncle, as I called him out of friendliness, was a kind, good fellow, well known and respected in the place, where he carried on the craft of a watchmaker, and he proposed that I should become his apprentice and part ner. I liked the little town. 1 liked my uncle, I liked my aunt, and 1 soon gave my consent. They had no children—l thank God for that now—but my aunt's kindly soul could not be content with out young people around her, so she kept and clothed two house maidens, I children of some poor neighbors. Trim and neat they looked, too, wearing the j costume of that part of Germany from I whence my auut came, a pretty fancy of her own. It seemed quaint enough in a strange laud. "It was a happy household. No won der 1 was glad to belong to it. But. alas, it was soon to be swept away by terrible altlictiou! For some time we had heard of strange troubles going on in Paris and the large towns, but our little place was still quiet. One morn ing, however, we woke to llud every thing In confusion. Our mayor had been ordered to resign, and his place was to be tilled by some one sent from Paris. "Still, we never dreamed of what fearful misery this was the forerunner. We had no time to dream, either, the blow fell so suddenly. There had been a stir going on in the market place for the two days following the arrival of the new official, but my uncle and 1 were busy over a discovery which lie j had made in our trade, and we were | less than usual in the streets. | "At noon on the third day, however, he went out for a stroll to rest his eyes and look about him for a few moments. My aunt and her maidens arranged, as usual, the midday meal, and we wore all ready to sit down, only my uncle was missing. He was usually so punc tual that we wondered and waited, and at last we dined without him. At the close of the meal 1 stepped out to look for liiiu, "1 had not got a dozen yards from our house when I met our baker's wife, her eyes staring out of her head. "'Go back!' she said. 'Go back! It is too late. The monster, the wretch! He has executed the honest man, with out even the farce of a trial, on the ac cursed guillotine yonder!' "I was petrified with horror. Could she be speaking of my uncle, so re spected, so quiet as he was? It was too true. The wretch in office had lost i no time, but had begun his work of bloodshed at once, and my uncle was his first victim, his only crime being that he was of foreign birth and had | sheltered under his roof some months since a poor Swiss. I retraced m.v steps to the house. My aunt's anxious face met my troubled gaze. She had begun to suspect evil. The two girls waited fearfully in the background. I tried to speak, hut 1 turned away and burst in ;to tears. I was young then. Master 1 Landlord, and had tears to shed. My bunt passed me by and rushed into the street straight to the market place. I could not follow. What happened there was told me later. "Wild with agony at her husband's fate, my gentle, loving aunt had burst into a Hood of reproach of his murder. In those days this was crime enough for the heaviest punishment, aud be fore evening she had fared the same fate as my uncle. "The reign of terror had indeed be gun with us. The girls had tied, terti fled at the fate which had befallen their protectors, and 1 was meditating in a half stupefied way the same meas ure when a knock came at the door, ami two men, who had often eaten and drunk at my uncle's tabic, came in aud made nie a prisoner, conliscating all the possessions of the family to the state. "In those days a man's foes were of ten they of ids own household. I of fered no resistance. The shock of the day had completely unmanned me. I made certain that I, too, should die that night. Hut my tilne was not yet come. "In consequence of the lateness of the hour I was taken to the town pris on, a dismal building, which I had nev er known to be occupied. There I was thrust into a deep dungeon and left iu total darkness till the morning, when I doubted not I should be conducted to the same cruel fate as my poor rela tives had met. Hut morning came, as I had guessed by the sound without, and still no summons. Word out with sus pense aud waiting, I fell asleep. When I awoke, hunger and thirst oppressed me. Happily 1 had stored some bread and meat and a small bottle of wine in one of the pockets uf my coat prepara tory to my Intended flight, of this I uow ate and drank. No one came nigh me, and yet I could hear sounds as if wretched prisoners were being led forth out of neighboring cells, doubtless to death, for they wept aud pleaded vain ly as it seemed to me. ' "Hut the third day a great stillness fell on the prison. I could not under stand it. My senses were enfeebled for want of food, for my small stock had long been exhausted, and 1 almost lack ed strength to wonder why I was left to live so long. Presently arose an aw ful terror lest this should be my sen tence—to perish miserably for want of food in this damp dungeon. Death on the scaffold appeared light by compari son. I clamored at my prison door. I shouted as loudly as I could, all to uc purpose. Then I burst into au agony of tears. My fate was too dreadful tc bear. With the soft nature of my youth I pitied and bemoaned myself sorely. All at once words came into my. mind that I had learned years ago as a text in tin- school, 'Fear thou not, for I am with thee; lie not dismayed, for 1 am thy God.' "They came like a ray of light into my prison, and I clung to the promise as If it had that moment been made to me by a pitying God. 1 felt soothed and hopeful, and in this condition 1 sank back in a doze or swoon. "How time passed 1 could not tell; day and night to me were alike in my cell. 1 woke up to find light and warmth and kindly faces about nte. Slowly I regained consciousness enough to understand'what they told me. I had lain live days forgotten. The still ness 1 had noted the third day was ac counted for by the fact that the news had just reached our town of the death of one of the greatest leaders of the revolution and the consequent decline of the party. In fear of his life, our terrorist mayor had tied, and the old mayor, resuming power, had ordered the prison doors to be set open. I in my solitary cell had been forgotten, and but that some one had been sent to ex amine all the cells and collect the fet ters used therein I might have perished most miserably. As it was, I was car ried out perfectly senseless aud brought to life with some difficulty. "I am safe now, as you see, com rades, in my own country, but the an guish of those few dajs will never be forgotten. 1 bear about with me in my face the remembrance of it. Dally I thank God for light and air and food, and yet these good gifts of his fail to make my heart rejoice. Still those dreadful days iu the dungeon have giv en me a firm reliance on his mercy, and I know that I shall one day be joyful again in the city of which the gates are never shut and where there Is no darkness." Good Old Thin a*. Certain things are good for nothing until they have been kept for a long while, and some are good for nothing until they have been kept long and used. Of the first wine Is the illus trious and immortal example. Of those that must be kept and used I will name three—meerschaum pipes, violins and poems. The meerschaum is but a poor affair until it lias burned n thousand offerings to the cloud compelling dei ties. Violins, too—the sweet old Amatl!-- tfcc divine Stradivarius! Stained, like the meerschaum, through and through with the concentrated hue and sweet ness of all the harmonies which have kindled and*faded on its strings. Now, 1 tell you, a poem must be kept and used like a meerschaum or violin. A poetn is just as porous as the meer schaum; the more porous it is the bet ter. I mean to say that a genuine poem Is capable of absorbing an indefi nite amount of the essence of our own humanity, its tenderness, its heroism, its regrets, its aspirations, so as to be gradually stained through witii a divine secondary color derived from ourselves.—-Oliver Wendell Holmes. Of Two EvilN. "All those stories the papers are printing about you are lies," said the politician's friend. "Why don't you make them stop it?"

Jeweled Trifle* flie Rnffp. Never was there a time when so much depended upon the little Jeweled trifles which can be worn with a gown and which are a part of dress, if not dress itself. The big Jeweled bug Is exceedingly popular just now. Some are as largo as the biggest June bug, and others are small like a spider. They are fastened upon a gown up to ward the neck to look as If they were crawling up the front of the gown. A very handsome one which was seen re cently was rather large, the body was of turquoise, aud the long antenna? were of gold. lied eyes were set in the gold head, and the legs were of silver. The bug was the only jewel worn, and it was caught in the front of a shirt waist of finest lace over a corset cover of fine blue taffeta.—New York News. Idol of Fashion. If I were asked to declare which Is the most popular idol of fashion this present season, I would unhesitatingly give the position to the black velvet rib bon. Its übiquity is truly amazing, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. In narrow rows it will trim a voile skirt, iu a wide fold encircle a slim waist and fall with pendant streamers to the hem. In the narrower width again it will Inclose the neck of the elegante, ami then again it will in many sizes put in its appear ance upon the hat chic—indeed, there scarcely seems to be a hat without black velvet ribbon, which is mostly used to form a large l double bow at the back where the shape is cut away to permit the hair to show.
