OF St. Louis Justices of the Peace
was called in. With an exquisltely
gracefully gesture the Justice
smoothed his gotee and got the book
and told the aged couple to stand up.
They stood up, both of them. Their
brows were somewhat wrinkled;
their cheeks too. There were silver
strings through their black hair.
They clasped hands while the JUS
tice read on in a solemn, dignified
way, and they answered those awful
questions in husky voice.
"forasmuch as Adam Seifel and
Margaret Bachman have pledged
their troth in holy wedlock, L pro-
nounce that they are man and wife.
Kiss your bride, sir!" said the JUS
tice.
The old man turned about and
gaZed into the foce of his wife. His
arm was placed around her neck
and lower and lower his face went
down towards hers until they almost
touched. She, however, threw back
her head and slowly unloosed her
ohO away
from him. threw up her hands and
let them fall with flop to her side,
and with loud laugh she said:
"That is all nonsense; am too old
to be kissed"
.sWhy, the marriage amt com.
plete without the kiss" suggested
Mac.
"No it ain't," CALCULATED the hus-
band. .'Come on, let me kiss you"
She smiled once more and leaned
towards her spouse half reluctantly.
He leaned toward her. His arm
again went around her neck, and his
head bent slowly down until thore
came an osculatory report which
shook the room. She looked up and
her looks said that she was not too
old to be kissed. They went away
happy.

Notice.

Never buy any stamps; hand your
letter to the Postmaster and tell him
to put a stamp on it. If you are out
of change, tell him you will hand it
to him the next time you come in; it
wont be necessary, however, 20 do
so, as three cents are nothing. When
you hand in your letter, do not for
get to tell the Postmaster to be sure
and have it go. If you don't give
this warning he may keep it IN the
office. Always remember to call
the Postmaster and hand your letters
to him, and not put them in the let.
ter-box. If you do the Postmaster
will be mad and never forgive you.
Remember that the Postmaster
would consider it very unkind to
have your letter stamped by anyone
but himself. He will be pleased TO
put wrappers on papers and back
them for you, occasionally, or often
er, especially when he is distributing
mail. When you put IN a letter it
is we'll to ask him how long before
you will get an answer to it. VI
course he ought to know or he is not
fit tor the position. When the mail
is handed out to you don't forget to
ask if that is all, because the ) ost-
masters are in the habit of holding
back part of ones mail, which, of
course, they will not do after this
question is asked. If an expected
letter don't come, ask him what he
supposes is the matter, and tell him
it is mighty strange that the letter
doesn't come. A Postmaster ought
to know what is wrong in such cases
after being in the business a few
nths. 1t is well to tell him who
you are expecting it from, and what
business it is about, etc. You might
hint to him also that your letter
must be in the post office somewhere
That kind of inslnuation always
makes him feel so jubilant. If the
man of the house don't get letter
il would be we'll enough to send the
rest of the family one at a time;
there is no telling which might be
the lucky one. Each one should be
instructed TO ask the Postmaster if
he is sure there is nothing, this will
tend to crush an angelic disposition
in the most crossgrained Postmaster.
Always fill your mouth with smoke
from your pipe and puff it in in the
Postmaster's face when you ask for
mail. That makes him happy. And
then hold your cigar so the smoke
will blow in his face while you stand
at the window. Ga cold day be
sure and leave the outside door open
as you come in.

THE DANGEROUS QUESTION.

1t is evident that the question of
tue proper method of succession to
the Presidential office should be set
tied. At present, under the existing
laws, a member of the party in mi
nority stands next in the line of pro-
motion, should vacancy occur. The
difference at present between the two
parties is SO slight both in numbers
and opinions, and the high charac-.
ter of the man chosen by the Demo
Gratis is such that no great change
would take place in Government
affairs should the Executive office
fall into the hands of the Democrats,
except in the redistribution of places.
and what the Democrats now call
spells of office; but the precedent is
bad, and the time may come when
party vastly in the minority and ad-
vocating principles altogether OPP
posed to those of the majority will
have an opportunity of taking adj
vantage of accidental death or disa
bility, and obtain possession of the
Government in opposition to the will
of the people. 1t has also been sug-
gested that the possible effect of as
sassination, as now shown may be
the means of a premeditated repe-
tition, even during the term of Pres
ident Arthur, or at some time in the
future when the Senate is controlled
by majority of the party opposed
to the Administrator. At present
the destruction of one life would
throw the Government into the hands
of the other party, at other times two
lives would have to be sacrificed, but
the tools for the work would not be
wanting to men interruptions
enough to use them, as by their ac-
cescion to power they could protect
the instruments whose work had
given them position. The plan of
succession should be such that no
accident to a few persons could ef
feet a change in the Governing
party. 1t should be such, that when
a majority of the people have ex-
pressed preference for certain
class of principles, and have chosen
by their votes to have the laws ad-
ministered, for any given time, by
men representing those principles.
the possibility of change during
that time should not depend upon
accident. An improvement on the
present plan has already been sug-
gested, that Is to abolish the Office
of Vice President, and make the
term of the Presidential electors con-
tinue four years, giving to them
the power of appointing successor.
In this way the administration would
remain in the hands where it was
placed by the people at the election.
Vacancies occurring in the Electoral
College could be filled by themselves
and for the term of their Office the
party which elected them would
have a certainty of control.

Curious illumination.

The Paris Figaro gives the following
method of obtaining light instantaneous
", without the use of matches and with
out danger of setting things on fire:
Take an oblong vial of the whitest and
clearest glass, put in it piece of phos-
phorus about the size of pea, upon
which pour some olive oil, heated to the
boiling point, filling the vial about one
third full, and then seal the vial her
metically. To use it remove the cork
and allow the air to enter the vial, and
then recork it. The whole empty space
in the bottle will then become luminous,
and the light obtained will be equal to
that of a lamp. AS soon as the light
grows weak its power can be increased
by opening the vial and allowing fresh
supply of air to enter In winter it is
sometimes necessary to heat the vial be-
tween The hands to increase the fuiditv
OF the oil. Thus prepared the vial may
be used for six months This contriv-
ance is now used by tho watchmen of
Paris in all magazines where explosive
or inhammable materials are stored.

White BuHaIoes.

White buffalo have frequently been
seen and killed. All the Indian tribes
regard them as "big medicine" but
they have different superstitions re-
garding them. For instance, Catlin,
the painter, while among the Mandans
in 1882, saw white buffalo robe erect
ed on pole in their village as sacri-
fee to the Great Spirit. 1t had been
purchased from the Blackfeet, who
killed the buffalo, for eight horses and
quantity of goods. On the other hand
the Comanches believe it to be very
dangerous to see a white buffalo. In
1869 saw young Comanche who had
seen white buffalo return to his camp
almost dead with fear. He was taken
into his tent, the medicine men were
sent for and they smoked him ard kept
up lamentations over him day and
night for week. When he came out
he believed that he had very narrow
escape from de lth In 1869 a white
buffalo was killed by white man on
the north fork of the Red river, I. T.,
and the hide presented to General
Grierson. He desired to have ii
dressed to preserve it, but failed to get
any Indian to undertake the task for
long time. At last he prevailed on

" Horseback selected one Of his

MES over her to preserve her life and
then placed her il teepee some dis
lance from his camp, where the hide
was taken to her by a soldier, and
brought away by him when dressed.
No other Indian would look at the hide,
much less touch it. Her food was left
at some distance from her teepee, and
when the robe was dressed medicine"
ceremonies were held over her before
she was allowed to reioin the camp. I
twitted Horseback about the fear of
the robe, calling his attention to the
fact that no harm befell any of the white
men who handled the robe, but he an
swered that such might be the case, but
what was "bad medicine" for Co.
manche might be "good medicine for

posed to take no risks in the matter
