"THE CANDIDATE"

" Father, who travels our road so latel'
"Hush, my child, It's the candidate;
Fit example of human woes
Early he comes and late he goes,
He greets the women with eourtly grace,
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls 10 the fence the farmer at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings,
He greets, and this is the song he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-dof
How is your Wife, and how are yous
Ali it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man.
"Husband. who is that man at the gatel"
flush, my love tits the canidatesn
Husband, why can't he work like youl
Has he nothing at home to do3"
any dear, whenever man is down,
No cash at home, no credit in town,
Too stupid to preach and too proud to beg
To timid to rob and to lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his leg he filings,
And to the dear people this song he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, dowdy doi
How is your wife, and how are yous
Ali it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man."
Brothers, who labor early and late,
Ask these things of the candidate
What's his recordg dow does he stand
At homer No matter about his hand,
Be it hard or soft, so 1t be not prone
To close over money not his own,
Has he in view no thieving plans
Is he honest and capable!-he is our man,
Cheer such an one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-dol
How is your wife, and how are you!
Ali it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man."

The First Step.

There is no step so long as the
first step in any direction, especial
ly a wrong one. Having once taken
it you are very likely to go farther.
One who steals a penny will remem-
Der it when he thinks of stealing a
sovereign. If he steals the sover-
eign first, when he is tempted by
thousands he will remember that he
is already thief. A perfectly in
nocent person breads the soil of
any sin upon his soul, but after the
slightest smirch he cannot say, 81
am Clean" The vulgar proverb,
"One might as well be hung for a
sheep as Cor lamb" means a great
deal. Often the lamb was stolen
years before, and now why not take
the sheep? An idle word, half-oath
half-exclamation, leads the boy to
swearing. Once having sworn, he
will swear again. The first step
may not be much in itself, but in
its relation to our lives it is a giants
stride. 1t is well to remember it.

TOrtures that Need not be En-

People suffer great deal of pain I'M
necessarily. Among fortunes that need
not be endured are those inflicted by the
rheumatism and govt, since the acrid ell
ement in the blood which produces them
by contact with the sensitive covering
of the muscles and joints may be elimi-
mated by the use of that matehless de-
purent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, be-
fore the intlammatory symptoms are de-
velOped TO any great extent. When 1t
Is considered what exeruciating fortunes
rheumatism infiicts, and what tenden-
cy 1t has, when fully developed, 10 at
tack the heart, the advisability of an
early use of such reliable antidate be-
comes at once apparent. The rheuma-
tic virus Is expelled from the blood by
the increased action of the kidneys
which act as strainers-produeed by the
Bitters, and the sufferer viii find, IL he
uses this supreme defensive agent, that
he will be protected against return Of

Just So.

He came into our office, and after
paying his subscription, said:
81 guess you can stop my paper;
I've just subscribed for a paper !
need more"
"Just so" we returned.
He pulled a paper from his peck
ct and handed it to us for inspec-
ton. 1t was a Philadelphia publ
cation, being neatly printed, orna-
mented with a handsomely engraved
head, and containing ubout forty
eight columns of reading matter.
"a very fair looking paper" said
we, "But, my dear sir, do you find
much county news in it?''
mo, he did't know that he had
found any,"
DO you find anything about our
State?''
No, he never did"
And yet he needed that sheet
much more than he did his county
paper.

Scandal.

What "they say is beneath your
notice. What's the use of lying
awake of nights with the unkind
remark of some false friend running
through your brain like forked
lightning? What's the use of get
ting into a worry and fret over gos-
sip that has been set ahoat to your
disadvantage by some meddlesome
busybody who has more time than
character? These things can't pos
sibly iDjure, unless, indeed, you
take notice of them, and in combat
ting them give them character and
standing. If what is said about
you is true, set yourself right at
once; if it is false, let it go for what
it will, until it dies of inherent
weakness.

There is one rather absurd thing
about postal cards that seems not
to be generally known, says the De
troit Free Press. A good writer,
who gets things down fine, can put
several thousand words on a card,
and the cost is a cent, but if he
pastes a printed slip containing a
single word on the card the expense
is six cents; one, paid for the card,
and the other five collected from
the card receiver, yet if the words
are printed on the card itself it is
all right. If person pastes a
printed slip on the card, the size of
a postal card, and puts the card and
slip in an open envelope, the gov
eminent will carry card, slip and
envelope for a cent, yet it charges
six cents for carrying postal card
and slip, without the envelopel
Therefore, if you have occasion to
paste a printed paragraph on a post
card, put it in an envelope and the
additional weight will be carried
five cents cheaper than the card
alone goes. 1t looks ridiculous to
carry five thousand or more words
in an envelope for a cent and then
charge six cents for carrying half
dozen words on a card without the
envelope.

good evidence that the remedy must be
good for the cure OF coughs, colds and

In the years since its foundation, in
1868, the fortunes of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company have considerably va
ried. For the first nine years of its ex-
istence it was looked upon as a very
profitable concern, but recently it is sta
ted that the number of prizes paid
monthly have increased to such an ex-
tent that it may be said to have discov-
cred to what extent it is more blessed to
give than receive. But our readers can
