Commodore Vanderbilt is not dead yet

Department under LINCOLN, although strong Demo.

eUs cannot nnd words enough to praise WATSON"
Mr.. PETER II. WATSON was not retained In the
War Department, and he was not a Democrat.
He was appointed to be Assistant Secretary by
MIR. LINCOLN in the year 1892, after LINCOLN had
been President nearly two wears. lie was not dis
charged, but resigned. because his arduous
labors In the public service had utterly broken
down his health. He was a Republican then
and since, but the indescrbable corruption and
imDecility of that party nave awakened his
mind to the necessity Of turning the Republl-
cans out and putting new men In their places.
In that feeling immense numbers of original
Republicans agree with MIR. WATSON, and on
their success the welfare OF the country depends.

How Spelter Bored Post Hole and how
He was Bored

The other day Spelter wanted to dig
some post holes on his premises, and hor-
rowcd an augur for that purpose Now,
Spelter had heard about and seen a
great many of these augurs, but ne
had never attempted TO work with one
before, and his ignorance made him lots
of trouble. He smiled peacefully rs ne
began to bore; and rs he noticed how
fast the augur was sinkingin the ground
he thought what wonderful invention
it was. When the handle was about 4
foot from the ground he thought he
would pull the augur out. 1t was the
first time he had thought of pulling it
out, and he grasped it gently, and then
changed his mind and went and leaned
against a tree and scratched his left knee
with his right foot, and looked reflectful.
After 4 while he took hold of the augur
again and jerked. Then he jerked some
more and began to talk. 1t was plain to
see that something was the matter with
the augur as we'll as with Spelter, for it
wouldn't bulge. Spclter walked around
it twice, and when he seized ii again he
exerted himself to such a an extent that
his head swelled up so that he couldn't
keep on his hat He got red in the face,
and when he spoke it was in the most
prompt and energetic manner. He felt
rs though he could maui thirty-seven
men and Peters, too Peters is neigh
Dor of Spelters, and they don't always
agree. lie made up his mind that he
would live to find the man who had in
vented that augur, and form brief ac-
quaintance with him. After he had dug
the augur out with a spade, he took it
down to the owner and said he guessed
he wouldn't want it to Use any more
said it was very good thing to dig holes
with, but he would rather have some
thing that he could pull out without
stretching himself so that the bottom of
his pants would draw way up over his
knees. And now he digs postholes just
as they used to before augurs were in-
ypntn1
