Mr.. AND MRS. WIpGE0N do not live in

fight more or less every day in the week,
ana we infer from the following that Mrs.
Widgeon is not entirely TO blame, as her
husband causes her to become angry
every once in a while. They attended
church last sunday, and after the service
was over he asked her: "Mrs. Widgeon,
you know why the preachers always pray
for fhe widows and orphans, and never
for the widowers2 2" Il DON'T" wonder
ingly replied Mrs. Widgeon, ''Pll tell
you. The preachers know very well that
the widowers, instead of needing prayers,
should offer up thanks" There was a

the four was a woman. Having the best

What the Republican Party Ought to
Remember.


Mr.. sherman deserves to be nominated
next year, for he did more than any other
Republican to defeat the third term
project. He early announced himself a
candidate. and whenever he was asked he
still repeated that he was a candidate.
AS he was also Secretary of the Treasury,
this public and frequently repeated dec
larati0n that hG was in the field prevented
many of the time-serNing sort OF polItl-
clans from going over to General hrant.
No doubt MIR. Sherman desired the noml-
nation. but he intended in any case, and
whether he should succeed or not, to de-
feat the third term plot. That ought to
be remembered with gratitude by the he
nnhlican party

have to undertake the management of

A Portrait of Arthur.

The discomforts of travel in the Yellow
stone region have told seriously, it is SAID,
on the President'a personal appearance.
His ewes are sore with the penetrating
dust from the plains, his nose is red from
sunburn, and his face, throughout its am
pie eXpanse, is mOttled with mosquito
bites. His Washington friends would
hardly know him for the dudish, hand

privilege on Sundays, while other noises,
not 50 annoying TO invalids and people OF

no more advantage to a church than is

There is a statement going about among
our exchanges that Southern farmers
Will have more cash in bank this year
than ever before, even if the cotton crop
does prove to be short, because they owe
less TO the merchants and have raised
more food this year than any previous
year.1 In view Of the constant reports
Of the shortness Of the food crops, as veil
as that of the cotton, this sounds like
'.whistling 10 keep up ones courage"
We don't exactly see how The farmers
will have more cash in bank under these
circumstances, but we are glad TO think
they are giUch less in debt than formerly,
and therefore better able 70 stand short
crops.

The Atlantic City correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press gives IAN account of
two Atlanta boys who are serving beer to
thirsty Jerseymen at jerseys famous sea-
side resort. The names Of the boys are
Henry Gwmn and Hamilton Crankshaw.
They claim to be sons of wealthy and
highly esteemed families of Atlanta.
Crankshaw says that his father knows
where he is. but that Gwinn's father Is
ignorant of his whereabouts. He said
that they became tired of the restraints of
home, and concluded last spring to start
out and see a little of the world. They
visited all the principal cities OF the
south. sometimes living like princes and
at other times working at whatever they
could find TO do. The Press correspond.
ent describes them as fine looking, intelli-
gent lads. with apparently no bad habits.
They will probably see enough of the
world By the time frost begins to appear
and will seek the shelter of home.
