He Had Him, Bald-Headed.

They were two solid citizens. One
was bald, but rejoiced in q fine luxu-
RANT beard. The other had heavy
growth of hair On the head, but was
very bald as to his chin. rhe bald
chinned citizen was a very talkasive
individual, whose conversation was
rapid and incessant. Meeting the
bald-headed citizen one day in a CON-
pany of gentlemen he opened fire on
him touching the barrenness Of his
sconce. "What do you suppose"
said he, in his rafting, vivacious
way, "what do you suppose, neigh
Dor, is the reason that you have no
hair on your head and so much on
your chin?" "Well," said the 9TH
er, very deliberately. scientists say
that men who work with their brains
create such heat in the scalp that
the hair is worn Off" "That sounds
like likely theory" chimed in the
loquacious citizen. "Yes it does, "
returned the other, land l think your
case is a striking illustration of its
probability" Nov you have plen-
ty of hair on your head, but none on
your chin, which just backs up the
scientific theory, because all your
work is done with your jaws-there is
nothing doing on top"

He Missed the Place,

A cowboy from the plains struck
Texas city one Sunday, and after
supper started out to take in a varie-
ty show he had been told of. In
about an hour he came back to the
hotel.
'sHello, Jiml' said the clerk in
surprise, "the show amt out already,
| is it?"
"No, but I am"
"What's the matter?''
"The buffers put me out, that's
all; and by gravy, before 1 had a
chance to pull my gun they clamped
me, and two big policemen had the
bracelets on me-
"What were you trying to do!'
''Nuthin', only l went in fur my
rights and got bounced. You see,
clerky, slid in without payin' dang
cent and thought I was playln' 'em
shary. I sot down jest as a long
jawed man on the stage begun to
read out of a book, and begun git
tin ready fur chance to laugh. At
ter the snoozer got done readin' L
was goin' to encore him but he stuck
whar he wuz, and jist then the music
box in the corner footed away and
everybody in front of me stood up.
That riled me bad. begun to yell
Down in front; Down in front :;
d you, set down in 'front.' and
the next thing knowed two fellers
in store close coIlered me and shot
me right into the claws of the police
men. 1 kicked of course, but what

A Mistake.

We see it stated that Schlosser, the
man who died recently at Mexico
from taking Rough on Rats, had a
policy in the Triple Alliance, which
j. B. Allen cancelled few days be-
fore death, at which the editor of the
Vandalia argus ''kicks." Guess
Bro. Emmons' number was next to
Schlosser's. But Bro. Allen acted
just right. Men who will drink till
they become demented and then take
poison to end their sufferings are not
fit subjects for membership in any
order.-Sturqeon Leader.

demented-did not drink to excess
if at all. The Triple Alliance will

John @, Carlisle.

John G.. Carlisle is now in the very
prime of manhood. He completed
his forty-eighth year on the 9Th Of
last September. Born in poverty,
his life has been a battle from the
very beginning. What he is to-day,
he is by force of his own energy and
genius. The country does not pre-
sent a better specimen Of a self-made
man. With sympathies as broad as
the wants of humanity, with an intel
leet capable of grasping the most diff.
fieult problems of government, the
possessor of style of oratory at
once logical and captivating, and with
aims which beft a generous, lofty
and catholic spirit, John G. Carlisle
is equipped by nature and experience
for the public service Of his country,
and was the Eagles first choice for
the speakership.- Brooklyn Eagle.

that of "fire!" ringing out on the

not arouse us to sympathy or TO action

the pride of luxury. the fruit of toll,
the scrapings Of avarice, and the saw

a crowd had collected and cornered him uI

the sole of his foot close enough to draw
blood.
