"A story is told of Justice Huddle-
stone, of London, prominent English
Judge, illustrating his propensity for
"tuft-hunting." Going out to dinner
recently, he learned that certain noble
Duke was to be of the party. AS he en-
countered the butler in the hall he
slipped half sovereign into his hand,
saying: II have few special words to
say to the Duke; contrive that sit next
to him." THANK you," said the butler;
"his Grace has just given me sovereign
to place you at the other end of the
ROOM" The Duke knew his man.

There is in Dayton, Ohio, nm aged
man who has, ever since he was eleven
years old, when he earned his first dollar,
kept an account of all financial transac-
tons of his life. The figures tell a charm
ing story of life's battles; how he twice
struck a stumbling block and fell and
each time started out afresh to regain
what he had lost. Enough money to
make score OF fortunes has passed
through his hands, and though he has
given thousands upon thousands to
charity he has still $500, 900 left. -Cleve-

GENERAL NEAL Dow made a Prohi-

declared that Maine did not have sim
gle place in it where liquor was sold. A
year ago a number of Ohio editors ac-
companied a Detroit Neaps excursion to
Portland, Maine, General Dow's home,
and the editor of this paper was with
the party. In company with L. @.
Hoover, of the Massillon Independent,
neither of us ever having been in the
town before, and to test the Maine liquor
law, we walked into an ice cream saloon
in the heart of the city and called for
beer and got it without being question
ed any more than strangers would be in
Ohio at the bar. Although Mr.. Hoover
edits an independent paper and favors
temperance politics at home, he must
certainly smile when he reads that Neal
Dow is now in the West and having ii

speaks that he will pay $10O to anyone
who will prove that liquor can be found
on sale anywhere in Maine.-Port Cli'a-

He had been straddling in such way

forit; that he will 60 them one better and
not vote for the first proposition of the
proposed amendment either. He goes
back on both the plans of Judge West
and of Mills Gar tner. He will not vote
for either constitutional proposition, and
in going back on the first, which is for
taxation, he is going back on the prin-
ciples of his party as enacted in the
Scott law and indorsed in the Republi-
can State platform. In casting his die
on the second, however, he finds him.

THE fact that Judge Geddes, of Ohio,

his eyes to the recognition of the rights

and kindly regard for the colored peo-

is false is best proven by the fact that
