Counseling His Friends.

Political aspirsnts have odd ways
sometimes of fishing for nomination,
bnt there is one way that has become
decidedly common urged by friends
to save the party" etc. This reminds
mo of story of an old farmer of Ecie
County, now dead. bnt at one time one
of the strongest OF Republic ms. He
had been lonored with petty offices in
bis own section. bu. had longing de-
sire TO figure as county officer. Ac-
cordinply one day he approached one OF
the leaders OF the party, and after little
Introductory talk about tho crops and
the weather, the conversation soon
drifted to the subject of politics. This
gave the old man lis chance, AID soon
he remarked:
"Do Y on know. Mr.. -, my friend :
have ali been urging ne for sever"l years
to run for 4herifr? They say | on9ht
to do it in the interest of the party, bnt
don't know. Now, I'm getting to be
rather an old man, but"
"Of course. you don't want to run ?
interrupted the other, with a decided
twinkle in his eye.
"Well, now, | don't know. You see
my friends have been nrging me so
much that thought perhsps-"
We'll, that isn't right" again inter
rupted the party leader "l'll iust so
and SEQ your friends and tell them they
have got to put a stop 10 that"

The Danger OF Smoking Cigarettes

The London lancet says:-S ;arcely
less injurious, in subtle and generally
unrecognized way, than the habit OF
taking "nips of alcohol between
meals, is the growing practice of
smoking cigarettes necessarily. We
have not a word to say against smoking
Mt suitable times and in moderation, nor
do our remarks at this moment apply to
the use OF cigars or pipes. 1t il against
the habit OF smoking cigarettes in large
quantities, with the belief that these
miniature doses tf nicotine are in
nocuous, we desire to enter protest.
The trnth is that. perhaps owing to
the wav the tobacco leaf is shredded
compiled with the fact that it is brought
into more direct rela tiou with the
mouth and AR passages than when it is
smoked in pipe or cigar, the effects
produce on the nervous system by a
tree consumption of cigarettes are more
MAJ ked and charac'eris;i, than those
recogniz ,ble after recourse to other
modes of smoking. A pulse tracing
made after the suhlsc has smoked say
a dozen cigarettes will, as IA rule, be
flltter and more indicative of depression
titan one taken after the smoking of
cigars.
1t Is no uncommon practice for young
men who smoke cigarettes habitually to
consume from eight to twelve in an
hour, and TO keep this up for four
or five hours daily. The total quantity
OF tobacco consumed may not seem
large, but beyond question the volume
of smoke to which the breath organs of
the smoker are exposed, and the
characteristics OF that smoke as regards
the proportion of nicotine introduced
into the system, combine to place the
organism very fully under the influence
of the tobacco.
A considerable number of cases have
been brought under our notice during
the last few months, i'll which youths
and young men who have not yet com
pleted the full term of physical develop
ment have had their health seriously
impaired by the practice of almost in
cessantly smoking cigarettes. 1t is well
that the facts should be known, IS the
impression evidently prevails that any
number of these little "whiffs must
needs be perfectly innocuous, whereas
they often do infinite harm.

Why He Left Her.
"Do you love me %

"Do you love ME %
The words came softly forth from ruby
| lips still dewy with the kisses Of the one
to whom they were spt ken, aud GLADYS
McMurtry knew that T. helbert FreIing-
huysen was no dl,sembIer, no trifer
with womcn's hearts, but ever kept
within the precincts of his soul tiny
shrine at which there burned forever
and ever flame of pure and plssionlass
affection for her upon whom he had
layished the treasures Of his heart. Wild
and reckless though he might some
times be, carirg naught for the voice of
conscience, but plunging madly forward
into the darksome lsbyrinths of sin,
even at times smoking cigarettes. Gladys
knew that her voice could ever call him
back to purity and repentance, her
dlmpled hand lead him in paths that
were gemmed with the roses OF inno-
cen,e. And so, when he asked the
question that she loved so well to hear,
there came to her pretty face joyous
smile, and the dropping lips that over
|! hing the RANT mouth quivered with
pleasure. Bnt she did not answer him
i'll words. Putting her dimpled arms
around his neck. she kissed him in the
warm, North Sids fashion that was so
dear to his heart, and tLen little head
nestled confidingly upon his shoulder,
and the gentle presence of soft. warm
hand told him the story of how he had
won the first affection Of pure and
trusting heart.
"Rut this is not all, !" she said "Kisses
and embraces and fair words are very
pleasant things lips and warm
arms and loving eyes-but truth and
sincerity and 10y atty and purity are very
much fairer. and infinitely rarer.
sDoyou mean this ?" asked Etbe.b Art,
bending forward aud looking at Gladys
with fixed. nailed -at-the- corners and
clinched-ou- the-other side look.
''I do" she answered. speaking tie
words in slow, New York -EUeninq.
Post fashion, that became the sensuous
grace of her Kenosha feet so well.
"Tben." said Ethelbert, with n grave
tenderness that showed what daisy
liar he was, 81 will not deceive you
longer"
"What do yon mean ?'-G,adys spoke
hurriedly.
II mean," he replied, "lhat | have
joined the Anti-Ice Cream Benevolent
and Protective Association ;" and, tnrn-
ing suddenly, he began chasing horse
car, leaving the girl who loved him
so we'll alone and desolate. Chicago

The Worcester, Mass. Spy, tells this
story At certain manu!actory in
Fall River, where there are a number
of young ladies employed, it was deter
mined on their part to present their
employer with an album and large

at tie office of their employer, and i'll a
neat speech presented him with their
Offering. The recipient accepted the

few choice words. After c,nverain2
some time the overseer glanced at the
clcck aud said "Girls, l think you
had better go back to Your work now /;
you have lost three-quarters of an honr

and, feeling much Disconnected, went
back to their work, but greas was their

A NEWPORT LOVE STORY. Some years
ago the newspapers published the full
particulars of an elopement from n very
fashionable Newport boarding house.
the youug lady being the daughter of g
New York family named s., and the
man was the son of a laboring gardener
named Dodge. They were married and
then returned to Newport in few days.
Soon, however, the girls parents re-
covered her and sent her to a remote
corner os New York State aud suhss-
qgently to Europe, hut they could get
no excuse for a divorce, as the young
husband repeatedly Offered to support
her. The husband finally went ont to
California. Word now comes that he
has prospt red beyond the most saDguine
expectations and proposes to return to
the East and claim his bride. Tue father
has declared time aud time again that
the son-in-law shall never have his
daughter. and there Is reason to believe
that the law will be resorted to.
