Oracle AND GRANDPA.
Separated for Time, but Starting To.
gether on the Long Journey.
TDetroit Post and Tribune

detroit Post and Tribune.l
When one of the trains to this city came
in at midnight few nights ago, an old man
was found sleeping in one of the seats. The
conductor flashed his lantern in his face, the
brakeman stirred him up, and one or two
passengers looked at him carelessly, but no
person seemed to belong to him. He was
neat and clean, but thin and wasted by old
age OF privation. All sorts of troubles were
mapped on his clean, withered face, but the
main thing just then was to get him awake
and On his feet and out of the car.
Il say, old man. yelled the conductor,
get out of this; do you hear? This is De-
troit. If you've got any friends they'll be
looking for YOU"
He opened his eyes so wide and suddenly
that the brakeman, the conductor and the
curious passenger fell back on each other in
heap, but only his lips moved
"Where's Gracie?"
who ?" asked the conductor recovering
his official voice.
Little Gracie-grandpa's little pet.
brought her with me. Is she therc?"
II guess he is not wide awake yet, said
the curious passenger. Suppose you help
him to his feet"
Conductors are expert in helping people to
their feet, and this one was no exception to
the rule. He took the old man by the coat
collar and stood him up, but he sank down
the next moment limp and mOtiOnless. Just
then depot hand came in.
"The baggage master wants to know what
you're goin' to do with that little deal box
over there. He don't want any of that kind /
left over, and their amt no direction on il but .
Oracle ---:'
That's hcr!' said the old man. and he
stood up teebly. Take me there. We've
got q long journey-Gracie and me; a long,
ong journey; but it don't seem as if knew
he way right clear"
They took him into the depot and laid him
IN one of the benches, but still he fretted for
'leetle Gracie-his pet" and at last they con-
oiled him by telling him she was resting was
lsleep, and must not be disturbed.
We've long journey to CO. Ike kept say
ng to himself, ''and grandpa's baby mustn't
,et tired. It's a long way, a long way
The little "box," with Oracle written upon
t in lead pencil, was safe enough with the
ther freight" and the old man slept peace
ully at last. Some kind soul threw rug
ver him neal morning, and asked him what
rain he was waiting for, but all the answer ;
e made was q feeble 'thank'ee: call me at
unrise. We're going Il long journey, Oracle
nd me-
He was called al sunrise by Il voice that l
one may refuse, and when flood of rosy :
ght shone into the dreary room he was up {
nd away-gone On his long Journey Only ]
he worn out body was there, and yesterday I
was laid away with little Oracle" in the !
trangers' lot at Mount Elliot, unknown, yet [
ossibly in as ''sure hope Of gracious res,
ection" as if marked by thirty feet Of monu-
rental clay.

The Dignity OF tho American Hog.
Philadelphia Iedgcr.7


Ii the American hog has the slightest van
lty in his composition, he can do no less than
Srunt his satisfaction over the "character'
gwen hlM by the Chief Of the Bureau OF
Statistics There is good reason, too. for be
lieving that all the good things said OF him
are true. Certain it is that no other country
can so easily afford to feed it's hogs on corn
as this, and the great factory system of kill
ing and curing for home and foreign markets
almost lnsures carefulnesS and cleanliness,
because these are both required by sanitary
laws and essential to business prosperity.
The suggestion that much OF the eXagcera-
ton in regard to diseased pork results from
confounding pigs very young swine) with
hogs proper, is a curious one What if some
one should take the infant mortality at the
almshouse as representing the death rate OF
Philadelphia? We would all be dead in
statistics, in one. year The young porkers
do not die off, perhaps, ut as great a rate as
infants, since they receive more intelligent
care and are not humOred with ovcrfeeding.
but their chances of life are undoubtedly
smaller during the first few months of ex-
istence than when they have grown to the
dignity OF being classed rs American hogs
1t would be strange thing, hover, if all this
diplomatic correspondence should turn out
to have been. due to a misunderstanding of
terms caused by Europeans failing to draw a
nice line Of distinction between our pirs and
our hogs

Milk and Lime-Water---A HINT to Dys-
pepticS.

Milk and ime-water are frequently pre-
scribed by physicians in cases of dyspepsia
and weakness of the stomach, and in some
cases are said to prove very beneficial. Many
persons who think good bread and milk a
great luxury, frequently hesitate to eat it for
the reason that the milk will not digest
readily; sourness Of stomach will often fol-
low. But experience proves, says the Journal
of Mdterid IMedicd that lime-water and milk
are not only food and medicine at an early
period of life, but also at LATER when as in
the case of infants, the functions of digestion
and assimilation are feeble and easily per-
verted A stomach taxed by gluttony, irri-
tated by improper food. infamed by alcohol,
enteebled by disease, or otherwise untitled
for its duties-as is shown by the various
symptoms attendant upon indigestion, dys
pepsia, dysentery, and fever-will resume its
work, and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of bread and milk and lime-water. A
goblet of cows milk may have four table
spoonfnls of lime-water added to it with good
effect. ThTway to make limewater is sim
procure few Jumps of unslacked lime, put
the lime in stone jar and add water until
the lime is Stacked and of about the consis-
tency of thin cream; the lime settles, leaving
the pure and clean lime-water on the top.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
4 Most Notable Instance of History Re.
heating ITSELF
[Chicago Times, May 10th.

Chicago Times, May 10th.
/ Not so very long ago, one of the two great
political parties of this country surprised
everybody by putting in nomination for the
Presidency gentleman who had hardly been
mentioned for the position, and who had
never been a senator, but had been conspicu-
Gus i'll the lower House Of Congress- His
nomination was peculiarly obnoxious to Il
large element of his party, an element, too,
not easily placated. The recognized leader
of the disatfectiOn was the senior Senator
from New York, q gentleman who had HIM
self been cOnspicuOusly mentioned for the
Presidency. New York was regarded as the
pivotal State i'll Importance, and it was felt
that the great Senator could carry his own
State for the Presidential ticket if so disposed
but would he do it? That was the ques-
ton of the hour with the politicians Of both
parties. He finally consented to enter the
field and try it. His party was successful
not overwhelmingly so, but indisputably.
There was great rejoicing, of course, among
the faithful and harmony seemed to have
been restored The PreSident-elect was re-
ported to have been willing to place the
savior of his party in the Cabinet, but the
modern Warwick mOdestly preferred to name
q friend for the Secretaryship of the Treasury
That was not exactly the cabinet plan finally
carried out, but q New Yorker had portfolio
and all went smoothly enough until it came
to the appointment OF q Collector for the port
of New York. It has been understood the
Senator's friends claimed that this place was
to be controlled by him, but the actual a,l-
pointment made was q recognition Of the
faction to which the President owed his
There was q tremendous row.
One would have supposed that the political
world was on fire and that the last tlav had
surely come.
This scrap Of history, like the boy picture
Of horse, needs labelling. 1t is not leaf
rom the joint memoirs OF Garfield Con1iing,
md Robertson but a scrap from the biogra-
phles OF James X. Polk, Slas Wright and
iona |. COddingtOn and the date is not 1850
|, but 1S44-5
The Senate indorsed the President That
vas before the doctrine Of senatorial courte-
~ had blossomed out: besides, the sacrifice
Necessary on the part OF Silas Wright to carry
lis State the fall before was the resignation
II his seat in the Senate to make the guber-
orial race. He was not, therefore, in Wash
ngtOn to tight his own battle, and, besides
le was not at all like Conkling in his DISPOSE
ion and temper. In 1916 he was a candi-
