Hook into the Pond without getting so
much as Nibble. lie was Revealing
his Ill-Luck when Sucker rose to the
Surface and asked:

Collar, why these TearsY"

"Perhaps 1t has Occurred to YOU
said the Sucker as he scratched his ear
on root, "that your Ill-Luok Is our
Good Fortune?"
"But may not come Fishing Again
for the next Ten years"
.'Then Console yourself with the Re
Election that Every Fish of us will In

JOHN HANCOCK AND THE "oLD LADY"
A Hare Observed Crow Alight near
Cornfleld which was Plentifully
Sprinkled with Scae-Crows, and as the
Bird Hesitated to enter the Enclosure,
the Hare Remarked:
"My Friend, there is Corn to be had
over there for the Digging"

answered the Grow.

"That's what have Every Reason to
Believe" Reflected the Crow, "but

things how easy II will be for the Farmer
Himself to Approach near enough to

MORAL
When the Galveston News wishes
Judge Hancock to do its bidding, 1t
should have some consideration for the
Judge.
At the first leap year ball of Philadel-
phia high society few evenings since
the ladies wore skirts and the gentlemen
pantaloons, but there the distinction
ceased. All the ladies wore position
coats or coats cut like those used for
RtHtlelnen LOT evening WehT. SOME were
of satin, more of velvet, but most of
cloth, and with them were worn gentle
mems white gloves of the smallest sizes
All the ladies had high standing collars
and made as much display of shirt front
as possible, although some Of the shirts
were rufiled and frilled la Brewster,
and some of the ties were of fancy colprs
instead of white. A great many Of the
gentlemen wore sashes, such as are now
popular with rose-buds just enter
ing society. They also carried fans
and bouquets. The ladies Wed with
one enother in this pleasant attention
and sent bouquets with great liberality
to their favorite gentlemen. Several
young men wore corsets and elaborate
bOdioes, with cOrsage bouquets, neck
laces and even earrings. Some had
bodices that were sleeveless, and wore
long fancy gloves reaching far up on
their arms. The ladies in many INSTANCES
called for the gentlemen at their houses.
They had everything their own way and
asked the gentlemen out to dance, and
also escorted them In to supper. AS
there were $50 ladies and only rs gentle
men, none of the latter suffered from
want of attention.

They were Warm Friends.

One day Lewis Gaylord Clark was
hard at work on his pet department OF
| the Knickerbocker "The Editors Table, !"
when q stranger opened the door and
| entered unannounced. He was large
man, whose thick boots and modest
| raiment were covered with country dust.
"Hello, Clark" he said, chow air
your How's the folksp Wots newp"
Clark, who WAS the pink of courtesy,
arose, bowed stiffly, and begged the
stranger to be seated.

'Sir," answered Clark with dignity.
"may inquire whom / have"
"How's Clara and the young folks p
"Sr!?"
All the time the stranger was pro-
pounding these kindly inquiries, he was
edging his chair bit by bit closer and
closer to Mr.. Clark, who, beginning to
get quite nervous. was vainly trying to
keep his distance by the same system
OF tactics.'
DWELL, Old Hoss, I'm mighty glad to
see yer. Give us q grip of yer potato
understanding his own hand cor
daily, and then bringing it down with q
thump on the writing table, which made
the pens and ink and all the little
articles OF virtu jump again.
Here the stranger threw himself back
in the chair, and raising one Of his huge
dusty boots laid it confidingly on Clark's
knee. Flesh and blood, even Lewis
Gaylord Clark's gentle flesh and blood,
could not stand this, so rising quickly
to his feet, aud dropping the strangers
hoof to the floor with crash like that
OF Saratoga trunk from the hands of
baggage-smasher, he drew himself up
with dignified severity and said
"Sir, l have not the pleasure of your
acquaintance, and must therefore beg
you to leave my house, as both my priv.
acy and my time are OF value to me-"
Again the stranger threw himself back
in his chair, and laughing heartily, ex-
claimed: Excuse me, Mr.. Clark, but I
am John G. Sake. l thought we had
known each other long enough by cor
respondence, and ought to make each

When Clark had recovered from his
first establishment he shook his old con-
tributor cordially by the hand, and ira
dition saith they remained warm friends
till the day Of Clark's death.

What Made Him Hate Cards.

war my partner and myself had nice

business was slack of sitting down in

THE FATHER OF PROHIBITION.
Why Neal Dow Began his Campaign which
has Lasted Hail IA Century.

Gen. Neal Dow who has Just cele-
GRATED his S0th birthday is still very
vigorous, and probably has lost nothing
Of physical or mental strength within
The past few years.
Mr.. Dow was teetotaler from early
youth. The custom of Offering wine
among refreshments at social parties in
Portland WAS largely put down by him
and his two sisters, who, the first of all
in that city, entertained their friends in
large numbers without intoxicants. He
was drawn into the warfare against
the llqnor traffic accidentally.
There was lady wcll.known to Mr..
Dow and his family, whose husband, an
educated man, holding an important
public office, was n dpsomaniac. This
lady sent for Mr.. Dow one day and told
him that her husband was away again
on time. Mr.. Dow went to a certain
rumshop where Mr. Blank resorted and
told the rumseller the whole story, en-
treating him not to sell the man any
more liquor. The rumsellcr replied.
"1t's my business 10 sell rum, and /
have license for it. I'll sell to anybody
who asks for it who has the money to
pay for it. / support my family by
selling liquor"
Mr.. Dow Indignantly replied:

and you have license for itP You

helping me, I'll change all that ~
Mr.. Dow led Mr.. Blank home, ana
from that day commenced an active
persistent, unceasing warfare against
the grog shops. Innumerable meetings
were held all over the State, in small
towns and villages rs well as in large
towns and cities, everywhere denounc.
ing the liquor traffic. When public
opinion was prepared for the overthrow
OF grog shops, M Mr.. Dow supposed,
he prepared bill entitled "An act for
the suppression of drinking houses and
tipping shops" His friends said il
was too radical. He went to Augusta
with his bill in his pocket, had public
hearing in the Representatives. Hall
before joint select committee, which
agreed unanimously to report the bill
without change. The next day was the
lust one Of the session. That night Mr..
Dow had his bill printed, it was placed
on the desks Of the members early in
the morning, and on that day was passed
through all its stages to he enacted. and
went into effect on its approval 10y the
Governor.
Within six months the jails in five Of
the counties were empty, as well as the
houses of correction of Cumberland
county. Tho open liquor traffic came
Immediately to an end.

Shooting the AlbatrOss.

II was on the Sabbath, and we ha,.
just held our usual Sunday morning
service; the wind was quite moderate,

and seized my marine glasses to see
what the bird would do. He was making
violent efforts to fly, but the wound
rendered him powerless. Then he would
look round with his half human ewes
with such hurt, startled or surprised
look that made him appear MS pitifnl ms
child. Then one of his mates dis.
covered him and came to his aid, and
swan round and round him In very
distressed way, apparently trying to find
out what was the matter. In few
seconds another came circlng down out
OF the sky with a loud scream and lit by

from FAR away and wheeled round and
round the group, giving the ship suspi.

Many OF the hair dressings OF the day are

not few are pcrnicious in their effects upon

the accumulations of dandrutr, and the pro-
mature change in color are all evidences of n
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes
