Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania will
all go Republican at their State
elections next Tuesday. Let us fall
into line.
Judge Knapp, the Democratic cam
didate for Governor, says "the Re
publicans pretend to have discovered
some small leaks in the local govern
ment of New York City," Thus
Democrats of high standing attempt
to gloss over the astounding robber-
les of their political associates. Is
this right? DO you fellowship this
kind of business
The Republican pyramid of 1871
stands now in this wise:
MAINE.
MONTANA.
YOMING.
COLORA ADO.
CALIFOR NIA.
NORTH CAROLINA.
And next week Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania will be added, with
Iowa, like bright and shining star,
to crown the summit.

Love Powders" Very Danger
GUS.

In our Humbug column we have
often cautioned our readers against
the advertisers of various '.love-
powders" lotions, medicines for
private diseases, ect., and character
lied them as dangerous. Here is
one actual illustration among thou
sands we could give: A young man
(whose residence shall be nameless,
for the sake of his friends desired
to secure the affections of a worthy
Young lady, and to help him he sent
81 to Reeves u Co., Shown up in
these columns some time since and
procured a so-called lOve-pOwder,
warranted to secure the love of the
person to whom it was given. He
put part of it into some figs, and
handed them to the young lady.
For some reason she suspected him,
and so informed him. He at once
ate the figs in her presence, to show
his innocence. The result was, the
powder removed the skin from his
mouth, laid him up under the doc
tors care for two months, nearly
costing his life. An examination of
the remainder of the powder showed
it to be mainly Camtharides blist-
ering fly. The young man was
obliged to confess, and the thing
getting out, he now, in addition to
being severely injured, has to bear
in the community the so6riquet of
"Shoo-Fly." There are multitudes
of cases of suffering from such like
and powders, where the
friends of the victim are ignorant
of the cause.-American Agricul-
turaIist,

A Sensible Resolve.

Did You ever hear, sir, how it was
that Edwards, the mason. gave up
drinkingP said a workingman to his
employer, one day, when he was
talking about the evils of intemper-
ance.
No. said the latter. 'how was it?
'Well,o ,one day Edwards was drink
ing in public house, when the land
lords wife came to call her husband
to dinner
whats for dinner?" said the
man.
"Roast goose" replied his wife.
as there apple-sauce" he ask
ed.
"No."
"Well, go and make some; l won't
eat goose without apple-sauce."
Edwards was so impressed with
the scene he had witnessed, when
the woman had left to prepare the
delicacy, that for the first time in
his life, he began to think what
fool he had been.
"Here's this man." said he to
himself, cant eat his dinner of
roast goose withoutapple-sauce,while
my poor wife and children at home
are glad to get herring for their
dinners, and very often can't have
that. Whose money, l should like
to know, goes to provide this fellow
with good things? Mine, and that
of other poor fools like me. Well,
what's done cant be undone. It's of
no use crying over split milk, but
that fellow shan't dine otfroast goose
again at my expense
$50 he paid his reckoning, and
walked out of that public house,
never do enter it again."

Small Sweet courtisies.

William Wirt's letter to his daugh-
ter, on the "small, sweet courtesies
of iife," contains a passage from
which great deal of happiness
might be learned: 81 want to tell
you a secret. The way to make
yourself pleasant to Others, is to
show them attention. The world is
like the miller at Mansfield, "who
cared for nobody,-no, not he,-be-
cause nobody cared for him." And
the whole world would serve you so,
if you gave them the cause. Let
every one see that you do care for
them, by showing what Sterne so
happily called the small courtesies,
in which there is no parade, whose
voice is too still to tease, and which
manifest themselves by tender and
atlectionate looks, and little acts Of
attention, giving others the prefer
ence in every little employment, at
the table, in the field, walking, sit
ting and standing.

How the Star Spangled Ban
ner was Composed.

1t was during the war Of 1912
and Admiral Cockburnt, who COM
manded the British feet, had at
tempt the attack on the city of
Baltimore and the bombardment of
Fort McHenry, Sept. Is 1914. Fran
ces Key, the author of the poem and
a true patriot, was a prisoner on
the fleet, which was anchored two
miles from Fort McHenry, the main
defense of the city. Through the
terrific cannonading of that mid
night fight; while the sky was lit up
with the fry courses of the flying
bombs, he could watch all the enc
my's preparations, and he knew the
danger. that foreboded. As the
struggle ceased upon the common,
and he looked through the dim
twilight for the flag of his country
his heart sick with fear and doubt,
could he help the grand outburst of
that first verse! and then as through
the mists of the deep the banner
loomed dimly in the morning SUMS
first rays, and he exclaimed:
"'Tis thestar spangied banner! oh long may
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brayep'
it was prayer and praise all in one;
and there has never been anything
like it since.
When Francis Key came back to
his comrades once more,h he brought
with him the precious poem, which
was read and re-read by the boys in
camp until the entire division SEEM
ed electrified by its pathetic elo-
quence That national song was
too grand to be lost. so one of the
boys named Fred Durang, began q
search for a tune that would fit the
words, and turning over leaf after
leaf of an old volume Of flute mu-
sic, he came across one called Anac
reon in Heaven, which proved an ex
act fit, and spreading the news along
the camp, there rang on for the first
time the song of the Star Spangled
Banner. From that time 1T was
caught up by by every voice and car
ried from camp to camp until it be-
came the universal song, an incen-
tive to greater courage and braver
deeds. And when peace was declar-
ed, the soldiers scattered to their
homes, it was carried to thousands
Of firesides as the most precious
relict of the war Of 1872. r
Francis Key now sleeps in the GEM
etry at Fredericktown, but his song
lives and will live so long as
'sThe star spangled banner shall waves
O'er the land of the free and the home Of the
braye".
