REFERRING to the talk among Demo
Gratis of again nominating General Han
cock for the presidency, the Cincinnati
News says: at may be remarked that
lightning seldom strikes defeated candi-
dates second time. Mr.. Tilden had
the strongest case any candidate, who
was not also President, ever brought
before the American people to entitle
him to a second race, and the strongest
card against him Was that he had been
an elected candidate and was not in the
seat. That idea of ill-luek and lost pres
tige was the hardest of all to overcome.
There is another point:- the Thden men
who were defeated are the stronger IN
their firm opinion that. Hancock ought
not to have been substituted for Mr.
Tilden, that the substitution was, or
seemed to be, approved blunder by the
election. Still another point; General
HancOck's idea that the tariff is local
issue is not the less absurd that by a
mockery of fate those Republicans and
Democrats who laughed at him for it
have been standing in Congress upon his
letter and treating it, every fellow for
himself and the devil for US all, as a
purely local question, for every neigh
bJrhood."

Two Ways of Looking at Things

Two boys went to hunt grapes. One
was happy because they found grapes
The other was unhappy because the
grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convaleScent Were
asked how they were. One said: Il am
better to-day" The other said: Il was
worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says: This
will make mud" Another: This will
lay the dust"
Two children looking through colored
glasses; one said: The world is blue.
And the other said: 1T is bright
Two boys eating their dinner; one
said: 4 would rather have something
other than this The other said: This
is better than nothing
A servant thinks mans house is
principally kitchen. 4 guest that it is
principally parlOr.
L am sorry that live,' says one man
/ L am sorry that l must die says an
other
i am glad says one, that it it nc
worse Il am sorry says another, thai
it is 10 better
One man spoils good repast by think
ing of a better repast of another. An.
other one enjoys poor repast by con
trasting it with none at all.
One man is thankful for his blessings
Another is morose for his misfortunes
One man thinks he is entitled to 9
better world, and is dissatisfied because
he hasn't got it. Another thinks he i:
not justly entitled to any, and is salts
fed with this.
One man makes up his account from
his wants. Another from his assets

A MEMBER of a church congregation

Yes, sir
7'And you plead not guilty?'
No, sir, plead guilty

to help build this church,?
Yes

Yes
That was part of my profits on spec
in, oats. Didn't foot deficiency of

Yes
That came from q rise in stocks.

A Young Mans Peril.

They were in to see lawyer yester-
day-Mary Ann and her mother. Mary
Ann was little embarrassed, but the
old woman was calm. When they spoke
about breach of promise case the law
yer asked:
What evidence have you got?
Mary Ann, produce the letters com =
manded the mother; and the girl took
the cover off a willow basket and re-
marked that she thought OPT letters
would do to begin on. The other 651
would be produced as soon as the case
was fairly before the court.
And outside of these letters 2 Queried
the lawyer.
Mary Ann, produce your diary said
the mother. Now turn to the heading
of Promises and tell how many times
this marriage business was talked over
The footing is PA times, answered
the girl.
Now turn to the heading of Darling
and give US the ndmber of times he has
applied the term to you.'
If | have figured right, the total is
9.254 times
Il guess you counted pretty straight,
for you are good in arithmetic Now
turn to the heading of 'Woodbine Cot
tage,' and tell US how many times he has
talked of such home to you after mar
riage?'
The footing is 1915
Very well. This lawyer wants to be
sure that we've got case. How many
times has Charles HenIy said he would
die for you?'
Three hundred and fifty answered
the girl, as she turned over leaf.
How many times has he called you
an angelo
Over 10000, mamma
How about sqeezing hands?'
Over 2S4,O0O squeezes.'
And kisses?'
Nearly 417,OO0.'
There's our case said the mother, as
she deposited basket and diary on the
lawyers table. 'Lood over the dOcu-
ments. and if you want anything further
can bring in dozen neIghbors to
swear to facts. We sue for $4,000 dam
ages, and we don't settle for lefs than an
eighty acre farm with buildings in good
repair. Well call again next week

Sowing the Seeds of DiscOrd.

As another Presidential election looms
up to vie the Democratic organs re-
double tkeir efforts to prejudice the
farmers against the manufacturers. OF
this class is. the St. Louis Republican.
The following, which appeared in its
columns day or two ago, will serve to
show the sort of stuff which the Demo
cratic journals are seeking to impose
upon the agriculturists of the West:
f"Statesmen talk boastfully and with
pride of our enormous crops, but seldom
give any thought to the claims of the
class who produce them, except to i'm
pose taxes upon them for the advantage
of button and thread makers in New
England, saw mill owners in Michigan,
and steel makers in Pennsylvania. But
when the country is plunged in debt, or
when disaster overtakes us, through ex-
travagance of living and excessive i'm
portations, wild speculations. or over
productions of manufactures-then we
wait for the unprotected farmer, work
ing with taxed tools and implements,
wearing taxed clothing. eating taxed
sugar and salt, and living in a house
built of taxed boards and covered with
taxed shingles, to extricate US from the
difficulty"
The farmer who will permit himself
to be duped by such nonsensical out
pourings is sadly in want of a keeper.
The Leader has already taken occasion
to show, and prove by the census re
turns of the country, that the protection
given to manufacturing is of infinite
value to the agricuturist in raising the
price of his land and the value of his
products. When our manufacture were
but few and feeble, wheat in this coun
try was worth but forty cents bushel.
The fact that nearly every head of a
family raised his own supply, tended to
make the article of but little value. Six
ty years ago, says Professor J. R. Dodge
the price of our wheat exports at the
place of shipment was worth but
seventy cents busbel, and it required
lightweight bushels of that same grain
to pay for a ton of imported pig iron
Last year twenty-five bushels of wheat
would pay for a ton of pig iron of our
own manufacture, and yet journals like
the Republican are earnestly telling the
farmers that they are being ruined by
the tariff on iron. What is the secret OF
this difference between the present and
sixty years ago? 1t is easily told. The
tariff built up the pig iron industry, and
the Uuited States annually manufac-
lures from four to five millions of tons

A Prudent Mistake.

From Life.l
Ahi Who is it?
1t is the maiden whose hand the poor
young man has asked in marriage.
What! Did ne ask it then, after ala
He did.
But did he know better?
Oh, yes; he knew much better.
Why, then, did he do it?
Because he could not help himself.
How was that?
Well, she locked at him.
And did no come to time?
Very promptly.
Has she answered the poor young
man?
Not yet.
Is she thinking of him now?
Yes, she is sizing him up.
And will she give him her hand?
Probably not.
Because she does not love him?
No, but because she fears he would
not be good proyider.
Must she marry good provider?
Yes. for she was raised pet, and can
not take in washing.
Is it a prudent maiden?
Most discreet.
But why did she look ut the young
man if she did not want him?
In order to teach him self control.
Was not that kind in her?
Awfully kind.

was a huge loupcervier. He was evil
iently an old and very powerful one, and.
sven in death, looked savage and fright
| full.
| Our young heroes, for such they had
proved themselves. drew long breath
# relief, and Harry at once reloaded
Georges gun, his own being unfit for
service, so as to defend themselves
should they again be attacked. They
| then tied u strong cord around the body
of the creature and attached it to
| stick, which they put on their shoulders,
and thus, taking their trophy with them,
| commenced a Aasty retreat for the camp,
where they arrived in due time.
George was suffering badly from the
severe scratches of the loupcervier, and
