marck teaches good lessons, but he has rough
ways Of doing it. A Berlin shoemaker, who
was proverbial for making promises which he
did not keep, was taught to be punctual.
The man, after many express promises, had
neglected him on several occasions. When
this again occurred, the shoemaker was rous-
ed at six o'clock the next morning by mess
enger with the simple question:
Are Herr Won Bismarck's boots ready
yet2'
When the maker said, "No," he retired
bat in ten minutes another called. Loud rang
the bell.
Are Herr von Bismarck's boots ready
YETI" e
And so it went on every ten minutes until
the boots were ready in the evening. The
shoemaker no doubt, never disappointed him
again. m

What Allied the Butter.
From the Atlanta Constitution


Jones seemed doomed to have trouble
with his boarding house. The other
morning he went to breakfast in a. fine
humor, and thought he would have
some fun with the landlady. While all
the boarders were plastering their hot
cakes with butter, Jones called out
from his end of the table to the solemn
man next to the landlady's end of the
board:
Mr.. Rhodes, be SO. kind as to re-
quest the butter to amble in this direc-
toni"
Several parties smiled, and the land
lady cast threatening look at Jones,
but he acted as though he didn't see it,
and soon remarked:
If was as strong as that butter I'd
hire out to circus and travel around,
having big pictures in ten colors stuck
up on fences and dead walls. showing
me Off as The Man with the from Jaw
holdin' up black tea boxes marked fifty

Mr.. JONES'" sharply demanded the
landlady; "was it you that went STUN
bling upstairs at o'clock this morning,
singing, das was gooter larger beer,
or something of the sort?"
Jones protested that he was in bed at
8 o'clock and sober as Judge. A pain
full silence ensued which Jones soon
disturbed:
I" If furnished the help around this
house I'd hire real, genuine, live
Comanche Indians!''
"Mr. Jones exclaimed the land
lady vehemently, "what do you mean
by such outrageous conduct -
Beg your pardon, ma'aln, but you
don't comprehend; the Indians would
be right handy to scalp the hair off the
butter before break"
Five men lodged in a hurry as the
pewter sugar-bowl went whizzing at
Jones' head, while that Individual slid
under the table. The next moment be
was flying through the hall-door into
the street and the landlady was just far
enough behind to miss when she grabbed
at his coat-tail. As Jones stopped to
tell policeman what the row was about,
she informed him.
"Mr. Jones, you impudent, drunken
rascal, it'll take distress warrant and
two constables to get your rags and
buds out Of here, and they'd better be
quick about it, too +"
And now Jones is boarding elsewhere.

The Passions that Induce Disease

The passions which act most severely
on the physical life are anger, fear,
hatred and grief. The other passions
are comparatively innocuous. What is
called the passion of love is not injuri-
Gus until it lapses into grief and
anxiety; on the contrary, it sustains tie
physical power. What is called am
bition is of itself harmless;for ambition,
when it exists purely, is nobility
lifting its owner from himself into the
exalted service of mankind. It Injuries
when it is debased by it's meaner ally,
pride, or when, stimulating man to
too strenuous efforts after some great
object, it leads him to the performance
of excessive mental or physical labor,
and to the consequences that follow
such effort.
The passion called avarice, according
to my experience, tends rather to the
preservation of the body than to it's
deterioration. The avaricious man,
who seems to the luxurious world to be
debarring himself of all the pleasures of
the world, and even to be exposing
himselfto the fangs of poverty, is gener-
ally placing himself in precise condi-
tons favorable to a long and healthy
existance. By his economy he is saving
himself from all the worry incident to
perjury; by his caution he is screening
himself from all the risks
incident to speculation or the
attempt to amass wealth by hazardous
means; by his regularity OF hours and
perfect appropriation of the sunlight,
in preference to artificial illumination,
he rests work in periods that precise
" accord with the periodicy of nature:
by his abstemiousness in living he takes
just enough to live, which is precisely
the right thing to do according to the
rigid natural law. Thus, in almost
every particular he goes on his way
freer than other men from the external
causes OF all the induced diseases, and
better protected than most men from
the worst consequences OF those diseases
which spring from causes that are un-
controllable.-Populas' Science Month

Frank WalWOrth,
From the Auburn Advertiser

= rEss from the AUBURN ADVERTISER
1t is understood that renewed efforts
are being made to secure a pardon for
Frank Walworth, the parricide, at
present confined in the Asylum for in,
sane convlcts in this city. According
to State Prison Inspector Graves, in a
letter defending the exercise of Execu-
tive clemency in behalf of criminals,
"tl oe has IN a measure lifted the veil
that concealed the true cause of the
awful tragedy-science has lent it's aid
and DR.. Gray, of the Utica In
sane Aaylum; DR.. Ordronoux,
Commissioner of Lunacy, New
tendent of the Asylum for Insane Grim
inals at Auborn, have thrown over the
act the veil of weak, unconscious Grim
inality from a disease as little under
stood as it is fatal upon the victim of it's
influence by it's insidious and unerring
deadly shafts. There is nothing
either profound or original in Mr..
Graves further observation that .swe
must measure the crime by the intent
and punish accordingly" Such, we
are quite sure, is the spirit of law
throughout ChrlsteEdom, and even out
side it's pale, and no doubt whatever
action may be taken in the case of
Walworth will be conceived in that
spirit and none other.
The Syracuse Journal says: 'sThe
new movement on foot for the pardon of
young Walworth, the parricide, has the
support of State Prison Inspector
Graves. He has written letter, in
which he states that DR.. Gray and two
other doctors of lunacy have thrown
over young Walworth's crime s'the veil
of weak, unconscious criminality from a
disease as little understood as it is fatal
upon the victim of it's influence by it's
insidious and unerring deadly shafts. y
Mr.. Graves unwittingly furnishes the
strongest possible reasons why the par
ricide should not be released from con-
fnement. A man with a disease that
carries an g 'unerring shaft in it's train
and swings it about 'unconsciously
should not be allowed to run at large.

She /" BOddered Him. ,,

Two or three evenings since a colored
resident of Vicksburg made trade for

went into the back yard to practice. He
had fred two shots at barrel without
hitting the target, when his wife rushed
across the clothes-lne and his third shot
cut lane across her head, scattering the
wool in cloud but not wounding her.
She uttered yell and fell down, and
walking up to where she lay kicking,
gasping, and clawing, the husband i'm

BY MISS wHEELocK.
Mrs Grammar, she gave fine ball.

There were pies, plums and buildings for

And first little articles came,
In a hurry to make themselves known

Could stand for minute alone.
The Adjectives came to announce
That their dear friends, the Nouns were at

Rough, Rougher, toughest,
Tough, Toughe~, Toughest,
Fat Merry, Good-natured, and Grand.
The Nouns were indeed on their way

The Pronouns were following fast
To push the Nouns out of their places

To be, and to haze, and to do.
The Adverbs attend on the Verbs,

The Fast Mails in the Northwest.

The following statistics as to the OPP
erations of the fast mail trains In the
West have been obtained from the Post
office Department. The mails from the
East and Southeast into Chicago weigh
daily an average of 80, 1902 pounds. The
mails from the Northeast, East and
South into st. Louis, weigh daily an
average of 1928 pounds. The mails
from st. Louis to Chicago weigh daily
an average of 1918. This includes
only st. Louis proper and Arkansas
mails. The mails from Chicago to St
Louis daily average 2,553 pounds
This includes the mails from north of
Chicago and from Michigan. The
mails going into Missouri for the coun-
try west and southwest Of, and including
that State, average 10, us pounds daily.
This includes the mails from all direc-
tons, North, South and East. The
mails from Cleveland for the South and
West daily average 800 pounds.
The amount of mail matter distrlbu-
ted to the sections Immediately triba-
tary to Chicago is seven times as large
as the amount received and distributes
from st. Louis. The 80, 1902 pounds
received daily at Chicago from the
east and southeast represent less than
one-haf of the amountactuaily received,
for the reason that those weights do not
include any of the mails which srrivs at
Chicago from the south or southwest.
Ii the weight of mails from those two
sections was added, the average daily
amount received at Chicago would be
double. The 10000 pounds received at
ST. Louis daily represent the entire
amount of mails received from all quar-
tiers, except from the unpopulated ter
ritory Immediately west Of it.

MHTON's house in Westminster is
still standing, although slightly altered.
We believe that William Hazlitt lived
in the house for some time, and that he
caused the tablet to Millions memory to
be fixed to the garden front of the
house, which now looks toward the
Wellington barraces.
