colt, 1t was evident the animal was
glad to see him, and soon the whole
household learned that he would
obey Fred better than any one else,

A few weeks later Mr.. Roth came

. Nov 1. Surprised rn.m.
Detroit Free Press.

II Is stated that at some point Ia
every mans life he will do some.
thing to surprise his friends, but
chap in Detroit did more than that
the other day. He was eoInpAr.
ative stranger, who made his head
quarters in a Michigan avenue sa-
loon. He was old and ragged, and
IL was not always that he had .
nickle about him. He brought iu
the iuel for the stove, helped to
scrub out, and was tolerated on aes
count of his good nature. Every
body played him for a haIf-wft, and
no one dreamed that he hal II in
him to create surprise, unless it
was by refusing drink. 81 alrr9g
Two or three evenings since a
boy twelve years old, ragged, bare
footed, bareheaded and the stains Of
tears on his checks. entered the sa-
loon aud softly asked one Of the
dozen men in there for penny Ia,
buy bread with. He was roughly
refused, when he spoke to the old
tramp and said tt hHH 8uh
'tGentlemen, here in IA poor or
phan boy who has asked for mop-

| am only a poor old man, ragged
and hungry, and almost penniless,
but i can't stand that. 1--we got
whole quarter for that poor boy."a
That was the first surprise. For
a minute no one spoke. Then eight
or ten voices cried in chorus: $50
have 4 ." aud 1t wasn't five min
utes before a purse Of $3.50 was
made up for the forlorn and hum
cry lad, The old man rose 75 per
cent. in the estimation ofthoae who
knew him, and the boy cried some
more and went out with the money
Two minutes later the old man
slipped out, and Eve minutes later
he and the boy divided the pro-
ceeds under the gaslight on the
corner 1t wasn't exactly whack,
for the old chap took 50 and left
the boy 20 cents. When Ii was
known in the saloon fourteen deter
mined men rushed out, and canter-

womaa's Use On Public Life.
Philadelphia Press.

1t is prospOsed TO appoint women
as official visitors to the almshouses
and jails in all the counties of the
State. Experience has shown that
women can see better 10 the COM
fort and well-being Of female pris-
oners and paupers than men can.
Such appointments have already
been made in Philadelphia, Allie
gheny, Montgomery and some of
the other counties, and the prac-
tice cannot be too early adopted
elsewhere. Women school directors
have also been tried i'm Pennsylva-
MIA and they have demonstrated
their usefulness 50 thoroughly that
after the approaching township
elections il is probably few school
boards will be without their women
directors. IIl
In quiet way the question of
admitting women to a larger con-
troll in regulating the affairs of life
is working its own solution. The
unobtrusive woman who does daily
what her hand finds to do, is bring
ing about this end without assist
ance from the platform orators.
Shortly women will be permitted
to perform such public duties as
they are capable Of performing or
care to assume. When the gradual
change is consummated IL viii
make no difference in the lives of
the vast majority of women. They
will continue to lead the same re-
tired lives that they lead now, just
as the great majority OF men SOW
and reap without thought of hold
ing office. There will simply be n
wider field from which to select per-
sons to manage the affairs Of the
community and the whole comma
nifty will be the gamer. Hl .I.au
The men are not opposed to the
change, as some of the violent sis
terhoOd assert. Few men would
now care to be openly convicted OF
the absurdity of saying that the
average woman cannot learn to do
a given thing as well as the average
man. That the Pike country wOIn-
an can plow a straighter furrow
than the Philadelphia man is evil
dence that il isn't man or woman
it's special training. But without
special training woman possesses
naturally certain attributes which
especially adapt her to the perfor-
nance OF duties like those involved
in inspecting public institutions, and
.the time has come to consider
whether reformatory institutions,
especially those for the young,
should not have the benefit 10 be
derived from the presence of women
in their management. .. ........-.

The Story of an UnfOgght Duel

.
There appears to have been a
good reason for the Riddleberger-
McCarty duel not taking place,
McCarty is dead shot, but Riddle
berger would have gone through
the motions had it not been for
Malone. Young Malone, who is
about the senator great deal, said
that his father sent for Riddleber-
ger and said to him: "This duel
business will have to stop right off.
/ have made big fight in Virginia
and carried my point there with
great difficulty. Do you suppose
for one moment that | am going to
allow you to go out and have a va
cancy made in the United States
Senate by McCarty's bullet? Just
as sure as you get in line with his
pistol you are dead man. l
would have no objection to your
being shot as an individual, my
dear Riddleberger, but under the
circumstances | have good deal
more use for you on this earth than
/ have off from it. So restrain
yourself, my dear boy" Riddle
berger Is fair sample of the Vir-
ginia crossroads orator, who said in
loud voice: II like, be Gawd, to
fling a lie at man and see it hit
him" And thus McCarty was
spared the necessity OF unsettling
the Fe2djuster balance in the United
States Senate. H#H.

The Country Newspaper.


Referring to the country journal
list, George Peck, of Milwaukee,
says:
"When we think of The hard
drudgery that these interprising,
indefatigable workers do In q week
and the small amount Of thanks and
cash they receive in return, we feel
as though something was wrong
somewhere. Why it Is, that la
many localities the people do not
appreciate the importance OF n good
newspaper, and sustain il by liberal
patronage, thus making il q better
paper, is one Of the most unaccoun-
table things in the world. We have
no agent call now TO say what we
do; but We tell the people in every
locality where a paper is published,
no matter how small and insignih-
cant the paper may be, that every
dollar they pay II for subscriptions
or judicious advertising puts two
dollars in cash i'm their own pockets.
We have figured on il and we
know. 1t may not look so on its
face, but il il very deceiving. Lots
of schemes that look as though they
had millions in them, like the man
who j. sure he can pick out the
right card in three card monte, fail
to return anything like millions,

IT Is said that Senator Brown, of
Georgia, created sensation"
when, in the senate the other day,
ne said in the discussion of the
Bowman bill that il should allow
those who were in rebellion the
rightao prove their claims against

court had decided that "A pardOned
rebel had the same rights in the

Ii was only justice that the $l0, ,000,-

Pok's New York Losses.
New York World.

AS it has been reported in dis
patches from Nashville that the
losses of Polk, the State Treasurer,
had been made in speculative ven-
lures through New York houses, a
World reporter called on the gen
tlemen whose names were mention
ed in order to ascertain whether
the rumors were true. A member
of the firm of Kohn, Pepper q Co.
said: We do not know Col. Polk
even by sight and he has never been
in our Office nor done any business
with US. There was an account
here in which d loss of $500 was
made, in which he may have had
some interest, but If he had we do
not know it. We exchanged some
Tennessee State bonds when the
committee was here. and suppose
that fact appears somewhere on his
books and gave rise to the report
associating our name with his loss
es." ..I. a..sa4 ..E,... ... ...
Mr.. Sigmund Neustadt, of the
firm of Hallgarted d Co., said:
"Col. Polk has no account here,
though it is possible that his checks
may at some time have passed
throught our office in the course of
an extensive business. In fact, in
looking over our books / find that
we bought for him in August last
100 shares of Louisville d Nashville,
for which he put up the regular 10
per cent. margin, and which we
sold two or three days afterwards at
a loss for him of about $3.50. "
AT the jackson celebration in
! Cleveland, Ohio, to the toast "Per-
sonal Liberty and the Rights of the
Citizen" the Hon. George HoadIey,
of Cincinnatti, among other beau
tilul things, said the following:
The world is governed too much.
That country is best governed which
is least governed. These, gentle
men, are forms of stating the car
! dinal principle of the Democratic
| faith, that inan is capable of self
government, that an element of the
| Divine is mixed with his grosser
clay, which makes each of kin to
every other; that every man is
therefore absolutely and of right
entitled to guide his own destinies,
| to manage his own canoe, unchal-
lenged by law, without interference
from society, except and only to the
limited extent necessary to protect
every other in the enjoyment of
equal freedom. a Fs..f-
