Wrong Kind of a Shirt.

It was respectable looking color

home.
Your wife is a good washerwo-
man, isn't she?' said the young bach
elor to the polite and obsequious man.
"Yaas sir; she commonly olways
gives satisfaction" replied the hus-
band Of the laundress.
Well" resumed the young bach
elor, in his blandest and most insin-
uating manner, you can tell your
wife that I esteem her very highly
as one possessing many womanly and
Christian virtues-a domestic gem
and household ornament-a social lu-
ninary and moral beacon-an ex-
exemplary Christian--a gentle, low
ing wlfe--a washerwoman among
10000, and altogether lovely; but
there's one objection

a cavernous opening of the head while
his wife was being so extravagant!y
eulogized.
What's dat, boss?"
"she puts all the starch in my
socks, and none in my shirts; she
washes or irons all the buttons off,
and forgets to replace them; ex-
changes my clothes for those of some
other patron, and if you'll look at
this (holding up a garment,) you'll
see how inconvenient it would be to
wear either pantaloons, cuffs or col
lars with such shirt as she sends
me. 1t may be that she cuts off the
sleeves and collar to make the tail
longer, but l can t see what the deuce
she should want to rufle the edges

The darkey looked little disgust

take it home, and he only said: 1" Idea

Hon. Thomas H. Hendricks made
a speech at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, lately,
in which, in speaking on the financial
question, he said: 1.-The general par
alyais Of business and employment
and the distrust Of useful investments
because Of shrinkage in values, as
we'll as the condition of our currency,
have brought about differences Of
opinion among Democrats. think
these differences may be adjusted. 1
have heretofore expressed the opinion
that a wise craftsmanship may avoid
the extremes of a contracted curren-
cy, cramping enterprises and labor on
the one hand, and of an inflated and
deprecated currency on the other;
that they are the extremes of glut-
tony and starvation, and health and
strength will come of neither. l
have an unshaken confidence that the
national council of our party will so
adjust these differences as to main
tain our ancient doctrine in favor of
sound and stable currency, shaping
our politics in accordance thereto,
with return to specie payments al
ways in view, and at the same time
avoiding the disasters which would
Immediately follow contraction.

Leave no sighs, no deep, hcart-broken

Ger hopes that blightcd early, faded fast;
j raise to Heaven no complaining cries,
as memory to the present brings he past.

Long since its cares and disappointment

As AssEadowsdid they come, as shadows go,

That moves the mighty universe it made;
slotted the fair designs ambition planned,
And in the grave my earthly treasures
Wisdom can see the end, and wisdom

The better why did not care to know;
Showed mo my pathway and my life

When in the dust she laid my idols low.
Showed me cross, the cross that must

Nor e'er when weary, wayworn, lay it
down;
And said it must be so, if I would wear
A crown of life, q fair and fadeless clown.

The cross too heavy to be always borne;
thought heart whose hopes had met

Must be so desolato and so forlorn.

A narrow and at times a thorny road;
The cross though lighter still bear each

And meath its weight am climbing up to

But there are flowers, fair sweet-scented

Scattered along The pathway that go;

Which buu and bloom in Paradise alone.
A bow, the bow of promises spans my sky,
Its brilliant hues with beauty can adorn ;
Each darksome cloud that often hovers

And otherwise would overcast my morn.

That whispers OF a future home and rest;
'Tis distant music waited to my ear,
On heavenly gales from mansions of the

Whose spires and domes at times 1 dimly

There the dear friends loved so long
and well;
With them that home, that rest I soon

And cen at mention CT his name will bow;
His life and death give endless life to me,
And bought crown Of life to deck my

PETE McCARTNEY'S LEAP.
How the Redoubtable coun.
terfeiter Made His Escape.

A Houston, Texas, special to St. Loui,
Globe-DemOcrat of Friday says: Tho
notorious counterfeiter, Pete Mccartney
who caused a sensation in April by bis
escapes aud re>captures in Northern Texas
had bis cases continued at the recent
term of the United States Court at Tyler.
The trial day was fixed for July at Aus.
tin, and yesterday Marshal Purnell star.
ted with Pete from Tyler, en- route to
Austin, Pete was heavily shackled and
placed in charge Of four guards upon the
train. AT Palestine he was hailed BY
some parties who said, Hello, Pete they
have got you at last p "Yes," said Pete !;
"but. damn'em, they can't hold on to me
long," He appeared perfectly easy. and
betrayed neither desire nor expectation
of making his escape but while the train
was approaching Phelps Station at about
eleven o'clock in the night, his guards
were found to be sound asleep. Me-
Cartney was making for the door of the
car, free man, when one of them
aroused ind said: George, McCart>
ney's gone!" They made for him, but
he gained the platform, aud, back ing
blmself, held the door tight closed upon
them. On the inside they jerked the
ell'cord, bu: it had been cut, and pulled
out of its rings. they then ran to the
baggage car to signal the engineer to stop
the train. Just then the train reached
the head ofa grade and it started down.
There is heavy forest of timber at this
place, where lie few the train. The
Deputy Marshals got of at Phelps, and
started back in pursuit of the slippery fu-
gltlve. The shackles of Mccartney con,

the escape they were found-the hands
cuffs, iron rod and part of the chain
which connected the ankles. The bani
he carried away upon his legs. The
work was done with very 6ne file and
was neat job. A party who got upon
the cars at Palestine sat aud talked with
Mccartney until just before the escape.

were on the train assisting, and money

A GREAT FEAT.
Harry Brooks Walks 1929
Consecutive Hours.

Harry Brooks, the champion pedes
trian of the world, at 1l.4j o'clock last
night, completed the extraordinary fea.
of walking continuously for 1870 hours
with the exception Of one hours, rest, 4O
minutes, of which only he occupied iu
sleep. During the last II hours of bis
journey he evidently suffered the greatest
indescribablo agony. His feet were
much swollen aud it was with great diff.
ficulty that he could place them to the
floor. His trainer Mr.. John Starr, was
constantly employed attending to his
wants and between short intervals would
battle his feet in whisky. which would
pain Brooks to such an extent as to cause
him to give louud yell and utter pitt,
full groans. Stimulants, whisky and
brandy. were given him throughout yes
terday, which appeared to cheer lin up
aud which, no doubt, aided materially
in the accomplishment of his task.
For an hour or more before his time
expired the Comique was crowded with
curious spectators, This had the effect
of cheering Brooks, who waved bis hand
kerchief and kissed his bands at the
demonstrative assemblage. Cheer after
cheer went up frem the crowd, and when
Professor Carlyle, his opponent, who
failed on Thursday last, entered and cor.
daily shook Brooks by the hand. the
applause was loud and prolonged.
Promptly at quarter before ~
o'clock, Mr.. ], P. Rodgers, proprietor Of
the Comique, stepped to the front of the
stage and announced that Brooks time
had expired. lie was then assisted out
of the building, placed in carriage, and
taken to the residence of Mr.. Starr No
l4ll d street, where DR.. Williams. his
attending physician, prescribed for him.
Brooks nor his doctor have any doubt of
bis early recovery. since, on Thursday
night next be is announced to walk Q
mile in seven minutes on the stage at
