Safety From Assassination.

Although the Presidency Of the
United States is not the easiest berth
in The world, the Chicago Times
thinks ita thousand times more COM
Portable than the business of kings,
emperors and czars. Although the
President is bothered by office-seek-
ers and abused by disappointed poll
ticians, she is free from the conepir-
acies of revolutionists. There are
no Nihilists 'laying for him with dy-
Mantle bomsheIls he can walk
about the White House without the
fear of being blown up, or having a
dagger thrust into his back by some
assassin secreted behind the door.
He can eat his food without fear of
poison; he does not regard his SER
wants as murderers in disguise, and
he can go about without taking a
good-sized army with him. 1t will
probably be with no little envy that
the foreign potentates read the ac-
count of President Arthur's e&cur
sion to Florida and the fun he has
had there. When ready to leave
Washington he rode down to the de-
pot with two orthreefriend who were
to accompany him, and took one of
the regular express trains going his
way. There were no guards; no
police, no troops stationed along the
road to see that the track was all
right. Like an ordinary citizen the
President travelled in perfect safety
to bis destination
While this is true, it is also true
that within fftp years and during
the first century of the republic, two
Presidents have been assassinated
one at a theater, the other while go
ing on an excursion unattended by
guards; and third President, Jack
son, escaped only by good luck
Whether, under these circumstances,
the crowned heads of Europe envy
American Presidents, may be doubt
full. The Presidents probably live
in less fear of assassination than dc
European potentates, but it is be
cause they can hardly imagine why
any one should want to kill then
when election day is at the worst on
ly four years off.-Detroit Free

Damp beds and damp clothes

Garments must never be made

Half a Million for a Chicken.

I shall never forget the amount il
cost US to keep an old woman from
crying herself to death. OF course
we were obliged to subsist off the
country as we went along, and we
naturally took possession of the
chicken rancho kept by an old lady,
who stood at the front gate with a
broom and threatened to lick all of
Sherman's forces if they did not
move on. Now, chickens were con-
sidered officers meat, and, as we
saw that her favorite hens were being

these hens pretty lively. When she
caught and killed she kneeled right
over and began to cry. Presently
she began to scream, and finally you
could hear that woman's voice clear

More Honest than Careful.

The other morning a citizen who
had been cautioned to send up some
butter as he went down town or eat
dry bread for dinner, stepped into a
grocery and bought and paid for three
Lounds. The cash rendered was in
the shape OF bill, and the citizen did
not count the change until he had trav-
eled several squares. Then he made

A "RuraI" Racket.

In these days of dudes and Demo
cratic economy, when only the pure In
appearance is false, it is not strange,
perhaps. that schemers are active.
One Of the latest rackets by which the
lovers of the lucre seek to beguile II
from the pockets Of city merchants has
come to light.
The fact that it is only the most del.
icately favored, perfectly colored and
sweetest scented butter offered for sale
by commission merchants that is look
ed upon suspiciously by purchasers is
we'll known. 1t is also well known
that butter with these qualifications
generally turns out to be no butter at
sn. but unadulterated, oleomargarine.
So universally has this s'rule come to be
accepted that retail buyers only pur-
chase butter with which some fault can
be found. 1t was accordingly happy
smile that rested upon the face OF a re-
tail buyer. Saturday when dust-be.
grimed citizen, evidently from the rural
districts, halted his team in front OF his
store and alighting started in with
three or four big crooks. :,
"There comes some genuine butter,
said he.
The farmers price was paid without
q murmur, and the butter found to be
perfect. Half an hour later a neigh.
boring merchant rushed in and told
how dealer across the way had been
taken in by bogus farmer, who was
nothing more or less than sharp city
schemer who drove out into the country
. mile or two, and then back again with
. dozen jars of oleomargarine, which
the aforesaid merchant had eagerly
purchased for genuine country butter.
The first mentioned merchant said
not word, but ten minutes later ap.
piled the test to the stuff be had pur'
chased, and found it to be genuine, un-
adulterated oleomargarine. One OF his
clerks tells the story on him, which is
certainly good one.
