His Advice to Those Who Contemplate Poll

Listen to me Ben Ibra him, AMI
may Allah smooth your path.
Ny son, 10 you are going into pol
itics, write these axiOns upon your
heart with hooks Of steel, as II were:
IT Is right to steal from the Gov
ernment. ID @
Ifit isn't right IL is customary
which gives the practice color OF
legal right. .... .... a.l
Do not steal from the Government
as though you were ashamed OF it.
Only common pickpOcket is
ashamed OF his profession. Steal
boldly. Plunge your theivish arms
into the Golfers of the Government
clear up TO the elbows, shut both
hands tight, and come away with Il
full hold and a fair deck-load.
When you grab, grab as though you
never expected 10 hold Office again.
Be like the lightning which never
strikes twice in the same place be.
cause II never leaves anything To
strike.
Promise everybody everything
they ask for. IL Is SO much easier
to promise man what he wants
than il is to refuse him and have
him torment you with importuni-
ties and poster you for reasons.
Then, when the day for the fulfill
ment Of the promise comes To hand,
renew the promise. Take up one
note by giving another. In the
slang Of tile intidel, stand him of
for another term, and tell him that
when you go back again then you
will do all these things for him.
And il it be 40 that you do not 20
back, say To him that you will not
buy your place OF any man. What
dirt II thi,I ho throws upon tho beard
of u rcfOrraer Buy the head ri the
Sultan, there are hardly enough
places TOR your own family.
In your official C:Irr1'r ever prac
tice IL rigid economy in all depart
ments and disbursements out of
your own Immediate reach. Cut
Off the appropriation for chewing
gum for the orphans homes and
recommend that the orphans s0lacc
infantlle but juvenilejaws with incX-
pensive but ionglasting qui'ls rui
from the heels of their rubber shoes.
The money thus saved to the State
you can appropriate for the usual
purpose of giving yourself rail
road excursion with all the aPpur-
tenances thereuntO appcrtaining.
Talk great deal, but never say
anything. And strive To keep what
you say from the ears Of the scrite
who sitteth in the scat Of thccorrcS-
pondent, for he hath AN evil eye,
and the point Of his pencil hath the
sting Of scorpion. He dippesh

Facts Against Theory.

10. AullaLOHia kACtAh.J 0haiuhhhs
A few facts, given from a non.
partisan standpoint, may prove OF
interest to most OF our readers who
have been ''sorter mixed up" on
the subject OF the tariff by the wall
ings OF the Office seeking politicians.
Our farmer friends who, as IL as
serted by these astute politicians are
being Impoverished and ruined
by the high taxes they pay to sup
port giant monoplics, will please go
back with us % few years alInOst
any OF them will recOllect the time
when their farm products brought
them only about One-third Of the
price at which they are selling now,
when wheat was only from so to as
cents Thardly ever the latter figure
a bushel, and corn, which is now
worth 60 to so brought I'D to 20
cents. At the same time the farmer
paid One-third or One-half more for
his supplies, his shOee, his clothing
and for every implement used on
his farm than he does now. is II
not fact that he used to pay 10 to
10 cents per year for his calico,
when he gets it now from 8 to 4.
Doesn't he pay much less for his
shoes and hats and clothing than he
did then, and isn't he getting better
prices ull round for whatever he
produces These are facts, and we
must Judge the tree by its fruits" "
While the politicians are-trying to
scare you out OF your boots by tell.
ing you that the fruits OF all your
toll go into the hands Of mOlIoI'OlistS,
you find the fact to he that you are
getting better prices tor what you
have to sell than ever before, and
are buying your supplies much low
er. In your business transactions
are you governed by arguments
based on theoretical assumptions,
or By practical experience and re-
suits?

A Cure for Rowling Dogs.

Many wearied and wakeful persons find in the bowling of dogs by night a persistent, widespread and most annoy ing form of irritation. The owners Of dogs given to spend the hours of dark ness in assiduous bowling appear gen orally to regard with Q serene personal impertubabihty the noisy nuisances which makes night hideous for their neighbors. Nevertheless, those who keep dogs. especially those who do so in populous places, ought to feel bound to take the simple precautions which alone are necessary to prevent a trouble some form of yexation, which is really serious source of inconvenience and loss of rest and possibly of loss of health to very many people. To the honest bark of a watch dog giving warning tongue upon suitable occasion no one would object, but the purposeless and intending bowling of the chained CUTS which are especially prevalent in the suburbs of towns is simply intolerable. It is not necessary to exterminate dogs to put an end to the annoyance in ques- ton. The nuisance is perfectly prevent able by the adoption of afew simple and StuslDit iHc,tsutco NuiCu, So lhl llOiu in- turing the offending animals. tend to give them length of days by conducting 10 their contentment. Those who have had experience in keeping dogs know that these dogs will not howl at night if they be comfortable. If dogs, instead of being cruelty chained up out of doors in kennels which are often draughty and damp, be allowed to have their liberty by day and to lie within the house at night, they will generally sleep through the night in perfect quietness. Or, if it be necessary to keep dog chained by day he ought to be let loose at night, when it will be found that he will retire quietly to his kennel and ab- stain from bowling, especially if he be furnished with some fresh hay or clean mat for bed. In warm weather dogs often howl at night because they want water. Many dogs howl at night because they are keptconstantly chained both night and day. This is common and most reprehensiblc form of cruelty; dogs so treated are sure to be restless and irritable and can scarcely be healthy. London Morning Post.
