De0T Oenttnet: Whcn i closed my
letter last night, I thought
l would not write anything moro this
week; but, believing that nows fron
tho Capitol of tho State, at this time,
is moro eagerly sought by our people
than from any other place, venture
to add something more, even at the
risk Of being considered wcarisomo.

Speaker to day, and was sworn in by
the Chief Justice. He mado n very
eloquent and earnest address on ass

The benefits derived by the rcoplo
from Democratic administration can
not bo better illustrated than by fncts
and figures. The Republican admin
lstratlons Of the past collected annu>
ally, from i TO Is mills taxes and at
tho end of each fiscal year had de-
ficiency of from S300,OOO to S5CO,O0O
Under Democratic government only
sc0en mills for State purposes were
levied at tho extra session of tho Lc,
gislature, and, after detrdying all the
expenses Of the past fiscal gear, and re-
Scrulng sufficient money IN the Treasury
to meet the interest on all the bonds, If
1t should be necessary, there remains u
Surplus Of Seventy fire thousand dollars
Is it necessary to say another word on
this subject? Tho facts stand for
themselves.
Ono Of tho greatest savings under
the present administration has been
in the expenses of public printing.
One year tho Republicans appropri-
atod, for the public printing alone, tho
enormous sum of 1926 900, and for no
year were the expenses less than $50
600. At the extra session we apprL>
pratrd only $4,000 for this purpose,
and, after paying for all the printing,
including tho work done for the regu-
lar and special sessions, there remains
an unexponded balance in tho
Treasury of nearly &3,500--a saving,
compared with the lowest expenses
incurred in any one year under the
Republicans, of about $42, 500. Theae
facts alono, without hundreds Of 9TH
ers which might be produced, are
sufficient to condemn, for all time to
come, in this State, what was once
known rs tho Republican party, and
to givo tho Democratic party an i'm

BY personal application at tho ADJ

exactly suited to tho use Of cavalry;
but, with the leather strap fer the
purpose of swinging them around tho

purpose, until the State is able to give

Diseases of tho Kidneys, Bladder, etc., are
always unpleasant, and at times they become
the most distressing and dangerous diseases
that can affect the human system. Most dis

these parts. VEGETINE excels any known
remedy in the whole world for cleansing and
purifying the blood, thereby causing healthy
actions to all the organs of the body.

HUGO RICHARDS tells good story Of
two friends who were attacked by Indians
in the dark and bloody days of Arizoua,
which illustrates The strong propensity in
some people for joke no matter how Sc.
rious the surroundings may be. They
were both on mule back and the Indians
right at their heels, letting the arrows fly
past them thick as swarms of grnsshop-
pers in Kansas. One of the mules could
outrun the other, and its rider became
alarmed for the safety of his friend, who
was exerting every nerve to the utmost
tension, spurring, whipping and yelling
at the animal to urge it along, but it was
doing its best and could not keep up. The
foremost man looked back, saw the peril
of his friend, and in frenzy, bordering
on despair, sang out: "Joe, why don't
you come along ?" Joe, whose legs and
hands were flying in the air like the
arms of IA runaway windmill in a storm,
could not let the opportunity pass, and as
an arrow fitted by his ear, which, if pos
sible, increased his exerlions, he exclaim-
ed +: "Do ! act like man that was
throwing of ?"-PrescoH Miner.

ONE of the most ludicious combats on
record occurred at Turkish bath in st.
Louis a few days ago. Two mortal ere.
mics, physician and bank cashier,
happened to occupy neighboring couches
in tho hottest room Of the establishment
and were enjoying thorough steaming
before they noticed each other. A wordy
warfare was instantly begun, which soon
developed into blows, and the two naked
citizens, each drenched with perspiration
were locked in a deadly struggle. The
strip Of mating which protects the bath
ers feet from the almost red hot floor,
was soon pushed aside, and the lght went
on turiously upon the blisterng pave
ment. As the floor began to burn their
bare feet, the com batants capored up and
down in agony, pounding each others
faces with the fury of despair. The wild
est dervish dance never exhibited so ex-
traordinary spectacle. At last the atten-
dants rushed in and separated the per-
formers, and proceeded to bind up their
many wounds. The shriveled skin peel
ed from the soles of the doctors feet like
parchment, and the cashier was pretty
we'll roasted.

MEDICAL ADvICE.-A night or two

tcct the person or persons who had stolen
dozen sticks the night previous. About
eleven O'Clock n bow-backed coIored man
came up tho alley, looked around in n
cautious way, and then took stick of
wood on each shoulder and started off.
"l've got you, you thief !" cried the
citizen as he dashed out.

man as he let the sticks drop, "but jess

A had sick horse which was in great
suffering, and which he thought was suro

dollars, left the horse in charge of B and
went away. B could not, however, sum-

you will kill this horse for mo | will give

and took the horse away with him.
g, however, did not kill tho horse, but
doctored him and restored him to health.
A, much to his surprise, one day saw q
driving fine animal, which a unmistak-
ably recognized as his formerly sick horse.

CURIOSITY GRATIFIED.

She was very pretty and quite young
nineteen or theresbouts-snd when she
tripped into the real estate office, and
with smile and blush began making
inquities regarding little six-room
cottage in Brooklyn, the real estate agent
looked over his speetacles at her and
thought he had not seen such handsome
woman for years. Question and answers
followed each other in rapid succession,
and at their conclusion the lady seemed
as delighted with the house ms the agent
was with his prospective tenant Then
the lady's hand dived into the mysterious
folds of her polonaiSe and drew forth u
dainty little purse, from which she began
to count forth crisp notes with which to
pay her first months rent of her new
house. AT the sight OF money the agents
presence of mind returned to him, and
remembering the rule of the office, which
applies to cases where unprotected fe-
males apply to rent residences, he began
questioning his fair customer:
"Ah, yes, madam that is to say, miss
ah, who is to rent the-the house ? Your
father ?''
"Why, no -
"Your mother, then ?"
"Why, no. What difference does it
make to you ?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing but then we
always like to know who is going to oc-
cupy the premises we rent"
"Well, Pm going to live there my
self"
"Alone ?"
"Certainly not"
"With your parents, I suppose ?"
IN moo" with faint blush).
"Who with then ?"
"With a-a-gentlcman." CA profus-
ion Of blushes).
"a gentleman d? A relation, l sup
pose"
mo, sir he's not relation, but"
"Madam, | must decline to rent the
premises. No, madam, it's no use,
really"
"But he's the gentleman I'm going tc
marry Checks carmine and eyes full ot
gentle lir6)
And then that real estate agent went
and stayed in the bacl, Office just long
enough to call himself II qualified old fooI
eight or nine times, after which he frisk
ed back to his customer and promised
newly-papered walls, freshly-whitened
ceilings, hot and cold water on each floor
bronze gas-fxtures throughout, CRATES in
the fire places, and everything else she
might want in the house, and handed her
the receipt for the first months rent with
a bow and smile that, ifthe grandmother
of his grandchildren had happened round
just then, would have cost him n heap o
domestic trouble.
