Some Donts for 1884.

Don't forget the poor.
Don't 20 back on your swear of.
Don't steal on lie In other words,
don't be bank cashier
Don't forget that $500 set Of dia-
mondN for your best girl this season.
You may have to forget that 81 wash
bill you have owed your washerwoman
for year and half, but you can put
her off and the girl may put gou of.
Don't look sour at the world or il
will look sour at you. 1t acts oa the
looking glass principle, as Thackeray
says.
Don't insist en- a friends taking q
drink with you when he refuses. if
YOU insist You may find he has swore
off Then he will be sure to get drink
on you.
Don look down on man or a labor
ing man. Who was your father? Who
was your grandfather? Who was your
uncle? Who was your great-unclc?
Who are you, anyway?
Don't smile when YOU are sad. There
is nothing in this style OF sentimental
lying, except that it looks pretty in
novels-where. Of course, il never real
ly exists.
Don't mix in when some one else is
telling a story. II "breaks u man all
up TO have another take words ont Of
his mouth, and when he tells story
he likes to tell il himself
Don't grumble. OF all the friend
less, forsaken, despised. disagreeabe
people, the grumblcr is the boss He
ought to be taken out and lathercd with
barrel-stayc every time he grumblos.
Nobody likes him, nobody loves him,
while everybody is ashamed Of him.
Don't imagine for the shadow-hair
line Of a second that YOU are the smart
est man In town There are men-
good-lookinw men. too, who know a
great deal more than you ever thought
you knew.
Don't forget that to bo honest, 10 be
manly, to be true, To be temperate and
pleasant, is to be- happy and contentcd;
and there are more pearls in q cup Of
laughter than in barrel of tears; more
ioy in a good deed than in the remorse

Toys and National Traits.

"Show me q nation toys, said Mr..
Crandall, the "children' $ friend - land
] will tell you what kind OF people
they are Now, the Germans, YOU
know, are great toy nation; they go
in for quantity rather than quality.
They manufacture cheap toys, and
every child in the country has them.
Every German child. sir, has plenty OF
toys. What is the result? Why, we
find them the most sociable, kindly,
honest people in the world; possessed
of all the household virtues: kind TO
their wives and children. Then the
French; they 90 in for quality rather
than quantity; everything they make
is a work of art their children have
few toys, and those they have are very
expensive, and must be played with in
n quiet, genteel way. How do you find
the French2 Why, very polite, refined,
suave.
Take the Chinese They are great
toy nation; they ascend to the sky and
descend into the sea for ideas in regard
to toys, and spare no pains in making
them. Dragons and giants and dwarls
and strange fish and sea-scrpents and
curious nondescript beings and animals
all serve, and they give the children
plenty of them; result is that the Chi
ncse are like the Germans, among
themselves sociable, great for feast and
celebrations, and very industrious. jap
anesc are much the same. The En-
glish now run more on outdoor toys
and games which exercise -projectilc,
tennis, football, cricket. shiny, hoop,
marbles. The boys play tag and pull
away and all such running games, and
the girls play ring games How do we
find the English2 Joyial, athletic,
rough and boisterous. Again, look at
the Spaniards; very few toys they use.
What's the result? Why, they are
treacherous, harsh, implacable. Then
the Indians our own Indians the only
toy they have is the bow Well, now,
this cultivated the killing instincts only
What was the result? Why, we Lad to
kill them all off, they were entirely I'M
tama bic. The EsquimauX, he has
no toys at all, and he is the meanest
specimen OF mankind on Gods foot

IN Imnrisoncd Bride.

Rather an amusing incident occur
red on the incoming Union Pacific train
recently, hut it was ANYTHING but a
pleasant experience for the persons di-
rectly interested. In one Of the sleep
inc cars was a newly-married coup lc
who were coming east on a bridal tour.
Sometime during the morning the bride
proceeded to the ladies' dressing-rOom
10 arrange her toilet Upon entering
she closed the door, and when prepar-
ed to return 10 her seat was surprised
10 discover that she could not unlock
the door. The train was making about
twenty miles an hour, and Of course
the prisoner was unable to make her
voice heard above the roar Of the ears.
In the course of an hour the groom be-
came uneasy and proceeded to hunt up
the missing bride He was mortified
upon learning that she was locked in.
The conductor was appealed TO, but he
could not get the door unlocked, as
the bolt had in some way become fast
ened. He informed the excited hus-
band that as soon as the train reached
the next station they would have an
employee enter through the window
and unlock the door. STOPPING down
to the key-hole the fond husband call
cd out to his imprisoned bride TO BE
composed, dear, we will have the door
opened at the next station. and it will
only be four ninutes!'' Upon reach
ing the station tho door was unlocked
and the lady liberated and restored TO
her husband. he acted as though the
hour Of her imprisonment was the
longest one Of his life Council Bluffs

Som 9 History.



Let's see; the last Democratic
President was elected in 1850. and
there was a plank in that platform
which read: "No more revenue
ought to be raised than is required
to defray the necessary expense of
Government and provide for the
gradual, but certain, extinction of
the public debt" And there wasn't
much of a public debt in those days,
either.-LouiSUille Courier Journal.
THE Presidential campaign of
1856 was not fought on the tariff
issue, but between the anti-slayery
men and the pro slavery propagan.
dists. The question whether the
new Territories should be thrown
open to the slavery extensionisls
overshadowed all others, and moth
ing in the Democratic platform of
that year and nothing in the Repub
lican creed was considered of any
account when compared with the
great and all-absorbing question of
slavery. The last tariff contest was
in ls4s, to correct the Democratic
"reform" Of 1916, and the Democrats
were beaten by the Wings, as they
always will be beaten in this country
when the tariff question is the main
issue.
The C.-J notes the fact that "there
wasn't mucn of public debt in
those days, either. Yes the debt
was then very small, and would foi-
ever have remained so if the South
ern wing of the party, of which the
ca. il bright and shining light,
had not seeded, rebelled and pre-
cipitated a bloody and expensive
civil war with the avowed intention
of breaking up the Union and estab.
fishing slaveholding confederaey.
The present great national debt was
contracted to carry on the war for
the preservation of the Union from
that Democratic assault, and if the
Federal Government had treated
the South as every European nation
treatsits rebellious provinces it would
have made the Confederate States
pay as dearly for the experiment in
cash as they suffered in the loss Of
men. Germany gave France a ire
mendous thrashing for an offense
much less than that of the South;
and, when it was all over, she made
France reimburse her for her pecu.
mary losses. If the South had been
treated in that way, instead of talk
ing about getting pay for her eman-
cipated slaves, as some of her states
men are now doing, her people would
now be discussing the ways and
means of rai,ing money to pay for
being whipped back into the Union.
Another thought is suggested by
the extract copied above from the
Courier-JotTnal, and 1t relates to the
difference between the credit of the
Government under the Democratic
and under the Republican regime.
In Mr.. Buchanap's day the bonds of
the Government were sold at con-
siderably less than par, and when
money was borrowed the interest
was from to 10 per cent. Now
Government securities bring large
premium, and the public debt is
funded at the lowest rate of interest
ever known in history. - Chicago
Journal.

District Court Closes a Busy Term.
Special TO the Gazette.
CoSLANcHE, TEX, Sept. 19.-our
district court closed to-day. The term
has been an uncommonly busy one,
our able and distinguished judge, w.
A. Blackburn, on the bench and our
efficient, vigorous prosecuting attor.
ney, w. p. Browning, representing
the interest of the state. The criminal
docket has been rapidly, fully and sat.
isfactorily disposed of. On account Of
the redistricting of the state this is the
last term of which we could have
Judge Blackburn and Mr.. Browning
with us. To say our people are sorry
to lose these gentlemen would be
mild way OF expressing their regrets.
They are held in universal esteem.
They are both candidates in the new
district, and If the people OF Comanche
could have a voice in the election of
the 4th of November they would wit
ness a solid Endorsement of two officers
whose conduct in office has merited
and has won the admiration of all.
We hope them God speed and success.
Ben Gardner, the party charged
with nameless act upon the person OF
his own daughter, was acquitted.

Reception of the Great IncOhOnee.

The great chiefs of the tribe of I'm
proved Order of Red Men, arrived
here last night and were met at the
train by the Chesapeake Tribe, headed
by the Annapolis Cornet Band. The
company proceeded to the Assembly
Rooms, where after some fine drilling
by the Chesapeake Tribe, in Indian
costume, they were given an entertain
ment. The early part of the evening
was devoted to an entertainment OF
musical and literary character, the
programme being introduced with a
welcome address by Hon. WmT. Igle-
hart. During the course of his remarks
Mr.. Iglehart spoke of st. Anne's on
the banks of the Chesapeake, being
the birthplace of the Red Men, whose
society existed as far back as 1889.
After bidding his fellow Red Men
welcome to such ancient sights and
such traditions in the name of the
Chesapeake Tribe, in the name of
the pale faces, and in the name
our fair Ones" the great chief
Incohonee was introduced, who fol-
lowed by an interesting address.
Miss Annie Dorsey then gave the re-
citation, "A Leap for Life, which was
well executed. Misses jamie and
Katie Feldmeyer sang very sweetly
duet, "The Lily and the Rose"
Mr.. Conley, the great Chief Mime
wah of the United States and the
great Chief of Records of the State of
Pa, delivered an address which was
interspersed with wit and humor;
this was followed in turn with a medley
by little Clara Wolfes whose youth
and sweetness won the hearts of all.
There followed successfully solo by
Miss Lena Wolfes, "Midshipmite. .
reading Lamp on the Prairie, -
by Mrs. r. " Clayton Cornet duet
by Messrs. Feisler and Necker, and the
Doxology. Refreshments were then
served in the lower ball, after which
dancing commenced which lasted un-
til the scee snlG' hours.
