A Queer Pill Story.

A friend at our elbow, just
returned from a business trip
into New Hampshire, tells the
following good one. On the
train an elderly gentleman re-
qusted the conductor to inform
him when they reached Potters
Place, which was between sta
tions. This he obligingly con-
sented to do. The passenger
fell asleep. The train pushed
on, and before the conductor
was aware of it had passed
some distance beyond Potte's
Place. The conductor, howev-
er, true to promise, backed the
train to the appointed spot and
then aroused the passenger, in
forming him that he had arri-
we'd and could get off. "Oh"
said the old fellow rubbing his
eyes, 81 did not want to get off,
but my wife told me when l got
to Potter's Station to take a
pill" 1t need not be said that
the train was speedily again in
motion.-Boston Post.

Betting on a Sure Thing.
Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.

A tough-looking citizen walk
ed into one OF the justices courts
recently, very much intoxica-
ted, and requested that he be al
lowed to swear off drinking for
a year. His Honor obligingly
put him through the solemn mo-
tions, and the convert, with a
confused rumble of well-meant
but profanely-expressed resolu-
tions, stumbled out of the court
room.
"Bet he don't keep it an hour" "
said one ofthe grinning lawyers.
"Bet hc sticks to it a week,
anyhow" observed the Judge,
with confidence.
"Nonsense!" "cried everybody.
"What'll you bet?" asked
the Judge.
s'Twenty to ten," exclaimed
an eager attorney, producing
the money.
"Donep cried His Honor, and
the stakes were turned over to
a CHI onicle reporter.

quietly, ego ont and fetch that
man back" &.
In a few minutes the reform
ed one was dragged in, and the
Judge ascended his dais, rap
ped for order and looked severe.

An Ancient Nation.

At the departure of the chill
dren Of Israel from Egypt,
China was seven hundred years
old; and when Isaiah prophesi-
ed of her she had existed fifteen
centuries. She has seen the rise
and decline of all the great ma
tons of antiquity. Assyria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece, and
Rome have long since followed
each other to the dust; but Chi
ma still remains, a solitary and
wonderful monument Of patri-
archal times. Then look at the
population of the country,r rough
ly estimated at four hundred
millions-ten times the popula-
ton of the United States, more
than thirteen times the popula-
ton of Great Britain and Ire
land. Every third person that
lives and breathes upon this earth
and beneath these heavens is a
Chinese; every third grave that
is dug is for a Chinese.

/ have heard the argument a.
gainst this government dollar
and that is this, that where we
trade with other countries if we
let our imports exceed our ex-
ports we would. not be able to
pay, as they would not take our
money in payment. Well, that
rs no argument at all, for no
country takes our coined silver
or gold in the discharge of debts,
all such debts are paid in bullion
and silver never passes
from one government to the 9TH
er at coined value, but bullion.
Then let the American people
abandon the silly idea of gold
and silver being all that can be
a standard measure of values;
let us increase our wealth and
enterprise by developing our
mineral fields, shipping to those
countries that will hoard metals,
bring home in exchange all that
wealth of other countries that
gives to our people comfort and
Let them hoard it
# they desire, or anything else
that would only enhance the val
ne of our gold fields. The green
back dollar, that is the United
States standard paper dollar, is
he only policy that can secure
md perpetuate freedom for the
masses in this country.
