Mr.. Blaine left Evansville, Ind, at

fore him a long days ride to Lafayette.
The first stop was at Sullivan, q small
station, where there were about 1000

short speech, and was received in the

the crowd received Mr.. Blaine with
wild cheering. He was escorted by
the reception committee, headed by the
Mayor, to a carriage and drawn in pro-
cession through the crowded city for
about an hour.
Upon returning 10 the depot he made
y short speech, in which he drew dis.
tinction between the new and the
old outh-the new seeking the indus

laboring to lead the people away from

south, constituting, he said, the main
element of strength in the Democratic
party, was now straining and hoping,
with the aid of Indiana and New York,
to get control of the national govern

Alon0tOnOus Crackers.
New York Times

A dozen men gathered around a
cracker barrel in q west side grocery
store last evening and watched cooper
eat crackers. The cooper had bet a
new hat with carpenter that he could
eat ten butter crackers about one and
one-half inches in diameter in ten min
utes without drinking any water or
other liquid. The cooper began his
fourth cracker at the end of two min
utes, and seemed to enjoy it. 1t was q
minute later when he started on the
fifth. well, they are pretty dry" he
remarked huskily. 1t took him two
minutes to get the cracker down, and
when he began on the sixth he looked
as If he didn't care very much for crack
ers anyway. His eyes were red and
there was an uncomfortable working of
the muscles of the throat. Exactly
eight minutes from the start he put the
seventh cracker in his mouth and
chewed slowly upon it. BY hard work
he managed to swallow it and began on
the eighth. times up" said the time
keeper before the cooper had begun to
swallow again. well, I'll be ha 1ged, I"
said the cooper, that's tough Job. "
Il never yet saw a man do il, ;" obse rived
the carpenter. "In England we used
to pit a man eating ten of those bis
cuits-you call 'em crackers-against a
man drinking a glass of water by the
teaspoonful, and the water-drinker al
ways came out ahead. Seven and q
quarter is my size"

Some Of l.inrU;ns Jokes.

li'ii- ipPit.
President Lincoln has been made re-
sponsible for so many Jokes that he re-
minds one OF "A noted Irish wit, who,
having been ruined by indorsing the
notes of his friends, used to curse the
day when he learned to write his name
as he had obtained such reputation
for willingness to oblge that he could
not refuse. Mr. Lincoln might well
have regretted ever having made Joke,
for he was expected to say something
funny on all occasions, and has been
made an>werable for all manner OF
tests, stories and repartees, as if he had
combined al! the elements of humor,
commonplace heartlessness, and coarse
ness, mingled with a passion for re-
viving the ;okes of Joe Miller and the
circus clowns. Yet he did say many
excellent things. On one occasion when
Senator Wade came to him and said:
Il tell you. Mr.. President, that I'M
less proposition for emancipation is
adopted by the government, We will all
go to the devil; at this very moment we
are not over one mile from hell"
Perhaps not" sad Mr.. Lincoln, las
| believe that is just about the distance
from here to the capitol, where you
gentlemen are in session.
On one occaIion, at q reception, when
the crowd of citizens and soldiers were
surging through the salons of the
White House, evidently controlled by
the somewhat brus1u estern element,
a gentleman said to him:
MIR. Pres dent. you must dimin sh
the number OF your friends, or congress
must enlarge this edifice"
WELL, promptly replied Mr.. Lin
coin, Il have no i,!ea of diminishing the
number of my trends: but the only
question with me now is whether it will
be est to have the building stretched or
split
At one of these receptions when a
paymaster in full ma; or's uniform was
introduced, he said:
Being here, MIR. Lincoln. | thought
lwould call and pay my respects"
From the complaints made by the
soldiers" responded the president, Il
guess that is all any of you do pay"
Ward Lamon, when Lincoln had APP
pointed him marshal of the District of
Columbia, accidentally found himself
in street fight, and, in restoring peace,
he struck one of the belligerents with
his fist. weapon with which he was
VIGOROUSLY familiar. The blow was a
harder one than Lamon intended, for
the fellow was knocked sense1ess, taken
up unconscious, and lay for some hours
on the border OF life and death. Lamon
WAS alarmed and tle nayt morninp "a
ported the affair to the president.
Il am astonished at you, Ward" said
Mr.. Lincoln, "you ought to have known
better. Hereafter, when you have to
hit man, use q club and not your fist. :"

to the growth of her strength, to be

tradiction between the institution of

simplest solution would be to fling our
selves at all hazards upon Germany. to
take back from her our former from
tiers, and to disarm her. That being
done, we, too, might lay down our
arms.
Many people enormously imagine
that the French cherish the idea of it.
but nothing of the sort is true. There
is not within my knowledge single
politician who dreams of such thing,
and among the people it " ould be most
unpopular. Ibis terrible game, in
which our fate as nation would be the
stake, would depend upon the hazard of
battle lost or won, and we will not
play it, except in the last extremity.
But it remains none the less certain
that We continually confront Germany
as an irreo oncilable enemy, more on :
count of the harm she could still
do us than on account OF
the harm she has done; and
that eremy IS certainly not one to be
despised. If Germany is our bugbear

Holloway. the Pill Man.


The late Mr.. Holloway, of London,
the renowned manufacturer of pills
and ointment, began his business in a
small way on the Strand, he and his
wife living over the shop and doing all
their own work. His first advertise
ment appeared in II 'w'naper October
10. 1887. In Isl! lie spent 50 ,0to for
advertisements; il 1919, $4,000; in
1871, 800, goo: in iS:I,J, so, 900: and
for the last twenty years al average of
100000 per wear. The size Of the
fortune left by h;m can only be guessed
at, but for many wears his net profits
from his business have averaged 81,
00o, GOO a year. 1t is most pleasant to
add that he WAS a man of great benevo-
lence, and that his medicines really
were good.
