Between Two Stools.

Causeur has friend, a journalist of distinc-
ton, now holding very prominent and re-
sponsibe position on one of the best known pa
pers in the country, who had peculiar expe-
rience once in getting position on the staff of
a New York daily. He applied to the Editor
in-Chief, who knew him we'll and was aware
of his ability and experience. GIVE nothing
to offer you,'' he said, "but perhaps you'd bet
ter see the Managing Editor" To the Man
aging Editor, who also knew him well, the APP
plicant went There's nothing 1 can give
you," he said, pleasantly; "why don't you see
the Editor-in-C Chief" The next day he applied
to both again, and the next, each time re-
ceiving the same answer Dropping in on the
fourth day, he noticed a vacant desk in the re-
porterS' room, kept for any one who might
want to use it. He called the office boy, told
him to clean up the desk and bring writing
materials Having ''moved in'' he sought the
City Editors assignment book, picked out a
job that he thought he could do, did it, laid the
result on the City Editors desk and went home
The next day he did the same thing, and the
next, and the next. On the fifth day the Edi-
tor-in-Chief passed through the room while he
was at his desk. 80 you've got to work.. he
said pleasantly. eyes, sir,' answered the self
appointed reporter. A day or two later the
Managing Editor came in "Got it at last, eh?"
he inquired Eyes, sir" answered this latest
addition to the staff, going on with his work
Things went on in this way for two weeks,
when one morning the Chief came in. 'How
do you like your position?'' he asked. First
rate" he answered, ''theres only one trouble;
1 haven't had any money yet" 'No money!
How's that? Perhaps the Managing Editor
forgot to put your name on the roll Never
mind, Il will. How much did he say you were
to have?" HE didn't say, sir" said the re-
porter, telling the truth very literally The
chief fixed the pay then and there, dated it
back two weeks, and the changer on became

And the best Of the joke was thet it was not
until two years afterward, that either the Edi-

GlaaninUS from the Mails

Nebraska received hundred thousand new
settlers last year, and expects as many more
this year. The present population is almost
100000
Coal has gone down wonderfully of late,
caused by the difference between the Lehigh
Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
railroad companies. From $3.50 to 1915 is all
that is charged by the ton, and it is not unlike
ly that lower rates may rule by-and-by.
Four thousand nine hundred and ffty-three
persons were killed during the last year in the
northwest provinces of India and in Dude by
wild beasts and snakes, and of these 1871 owed
their death to snake bites No less than 10,513
head of cattle were also destroyed, mostly by
leopards, in the vast grazing plains of the Te-
raj. Rewards to the extent of 10000 rupees
were paid by the government for the destruc-
tion of 1910 wild animals.
The ST. Paul (Iinn.) Pioneer-Press of the
ID inst. says: "The good people of Northwes-
tern Iowa are somewhat excited by seemingly
well authenticated information that a COM
munity of free lovers is being organized by a
Mr. Henderson, who lately failed in business
at LIE Roy, Mimi, and that the site for opera
tions has been selected in q rich and beautiful
region lying between Postville and Clermont.
1t is stated that free love and Communism
have been shown in many families in Iowa,
and that a number of wealthy landowners
have decided to pool their fortunes if enough
persons can be found to adopt the system"

CONSIDERING the charges of dishonesty
and want of veracity brought against poll
ticians and newspapers, the following de-
scription of the trading man, taken from a
religious weekly, may be edifying if not
pleasing to some of those who find fault
with public prints and public men, 1t
gives description of goods whose label on
every box is a lie from beginning to end, and
of goods being sold by samples, by misrepre-
sentations and downright lying, and of a
merchant tailor who kept only the best kind
of English cloths, proving it by the labels
and wrappers, and of finding the same cloths
with reams of labels and wrappers manufac-
tured to order for an American mill. These
manufacturers and agents know these things
are frauds and the labels falsehoods, yet
these manufacturers and agents would have
felt outrageously insulted had any one
charged them with lying, or dishonesty, or
want of integrity in business. The follow
ing suggestions are made: Are there two
standards of truth, of integrity, of honesty,
one for the ways of business and another for
other spheres of life? Are such examples in
the lines of business likely to do good to
young men, or to corrupt their principles,
destroy their manliness and make them
mean? At the bar of conscience, is not a
commercial lie as bad as any other kind of
living?

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE IS NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back.
stiff joints, wounds, strains and eruptions they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than Of all other ini-
ments, ontments, oils embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined Ip.

THE Illustrated Christian Weekly, per-
haps having the Pocasset horror in mind,
cautions its readers against the mistake of
using as suggestions from heaven passages
from scripture and gives as warning these
examples: A pious woman received pro-
posals Of marriage from an eligible suitor,
but had some conflicts between inclination
and duty because he was not Christian,
till this passage came to her mind, ''Arise
therefore and get thee down and go with the
men, doubling nothing; for L have sent
them" This set her mind at ease. A poor
and pious lad strongly desired what was in a
neighbours field. The words came to him
''In all this Job sinned not" He was
about to indulge, when "Thou shalt not
steal" saved him from crime.

SENATOR CHANDLER put Southern preten-
sion in ridiculous light in his speech on the
New Army Bill last week. ''After the close
of the Rebellion he said, ''you claimed that
you were poor and suffering and we found
you poor and suffering; we found you ragged
and poor, and we clothed you; we put upon
you the robe of American citizenship, which
you had forfeited, and we killed for you the
