The Romance of u Poor Old Man.

About fifteen years ago q Scotchman, sixty
or sixty-ive years of age, kept II tailoring
establishment on small scale in Melbourne,
Australia. He catered tor a class of people,
clerks and Others, who require decent, we'll
cut clothing at very low prices. His success
was limited, and he made about living,
which, considering his age, was perhaps all
he could be expected ever to do. But it APP
pears that this man was not satisfied with
his progress in Australia, for in 1870 we find
him in New York in u still poorer position
than in Melbourne. Verging on three-score
and ten, this man took q little store on the
Bowery, a mere pigeon.hole, and commenced
the world anew, with nothing but an indom-
liable will and an idea. The idea was that q
tailor who would make clothing to order
cheaply and well, and who spent large por.
tion of his profit in advertising, would do
well and attract great amount of custom.
He worked on bench in the window, made
clothing cheaply, advertised got on by little
and little, until he could employ Others, d.
rect their labor and extend his premises. In
the course of years the little Bowery store
grew till now it absorbs half dozen houses
and covers twelve numbers. Not satisfied
with this the little Unsuitable tailor has
stretched himself out in every direction, till
to-day ne own three stores in New York,
besides the original one, and twenty-seven
Others throughout the country.

DIR. Tanner and His stomach.
AllanIn Constitution

Realize 1t or not rs we may we are Just
now being treated to miraculous exhibit
tion in New York city. A man of presun-
ably the same general make up rs the rest
OF US, has been living in q room for sixteen
DAYS without food. He has been carefully
watched. The water he drinks has been sub
iected to microscopic examination, and it ia
certain that no morsel of food aud no drop
of nutritious liquid has passed his lips in
sixteen days. After the tenth day we were
told that the faster was shedding phosphates
and that his brain was rapidly passing
away. Then we were told that he said that
when his forty days ast was over he intended
TO eat a watermelon. After this cheerful
yearning we are not surprised to learn that
he begins his seventeenth day in prime con-
dition. We are not of those who denounce
this experiment AS u crazy and useless one.
On thecontrary, we regard it as very useful
one. Enough has already been demon
strated by DIR. Tanners experience to over
throw eighteen centuries of theory and ssser-
ton. Science is staggered by the protest
of one mans stomach. Aside from
the point that this experiment adds an entire.
ly new fact to our limited knowledge of the
human frame, the truth established by Tan.
ner VIII % OF practical benefit. Physicians
who have cases where the inflammation of
the bowels is the chief trouble, will find that
they can keep their patients without food and
consequent irritation much longer than they
had thought possible up to this time. Per.
sons who are shipwrecked or lost in the
woods, and who expect, according to the ex.
perience of those who have gone before, to
die in seven days at the most, will now be
pleased to learn that they have precedent
for living without food for seventeen DAYS
and upward. While an empty stomach is
poor audience for an argument, still the
memory of DR.. Tanners fast may be of con-
ISOLATION to these castaways. OF course all
this depends on the assumption that Tanner
Will recover after his period of abstinence
and build up his wasted tissues again. This
experiment will come to naught if it is only
duplicate of the Irishman's, who said Of
his mule, "as soon as taught him 10 live
without eating, he died ~

REPUBLICAN AUDACITY.
st. Louis Globe. Democrat.


Eighteen northern states, with 1913 cleo
toral votes, now have Republican governors
and legislatures, and have It in their power
to secure the election of a Republican pres
ident peradventure, by simply changing
their mode of appointing presidential cleo.
tors. The legislature OF a state has an UNI
doubted right to direct in what manner its
presidential electors shall be appointed, and
their appointment directly by the legislature
instead Of by the votes of the people would
have ample precedent for its sanction.
There would be nothing in such action
by the eighteen states having Republican
governors and legislatures, or any of the
other states, subyersive of popular rights, or
in the slightest degree revolutionary. 1t
would be nothing more than the exercise of
partysupremacy through a legitimate channel,
for the sake of more surely attaining party
end. As a political movement it would be
less reprehensbe than the jerrymandering of
congressional districts in Missouri, by which
some of them we've constituted with popula.
tions OF 10000, while others were made to
embrace populations of over 100000.

Cotton Factories
Wilmington, IN. O., Star.

wilmington, IN. o. star.
Cotton factories do not pay in the south,
do you say? The gross earnings of the Au.
gusta factory for the year ending June II,
1880, were $l57,47l,2s. 1t paid a dividend
of ten per cent We notice that the owners
of the Pidmont cotton factory at Greenyile,
South Carolina, are so we'll pleased that they
are about duplicating the concern, and will
make 1t the largest factory but one in the
south. They have begun the work of en-.
larging, and already fifty new buildings, to
be used by the operatives, have been erected
The secret Of all this is explained when we
learn that thirty per cent. was netted for the
year on the stock subscribed. These figures
and facts are full Of encouragement.
