between the Democratic tooth OF hunger
and the law and spirit OF Civil Service re.
form. There arc only about 5000 persons
protected by the Civil Service Act, There
are $4,000 persons whom it does not in

desires to put his foot on reform in
tho Civil Service they will all go
In time. Many Of them are Demo!
Gratis, but they are not the hungry Demo.
Gratis who arc clamoring for Il seat at the
table. Or even e piece OF bread and meat in
their hands.
There Is ample scope for the talent Of
tho President.elcct, but this does not suit
tho aggressive element" OF his party.
The Civil Service Ac. sticks like Il cold no.
tato in the throat. The Cincinnati Enquir.
sr belongs to the aggressive element. In
an editorial article teariully entitled "Shut
Out" and made, doubly solemn with the
melancholy force Of two '.lcads" between
each line, the Enquirer paints n sombrc
picture Of Democratic disappointment and
chagrin.
To those 'faithful Democrats who en-
pcct the rewards OF Office and arc trying
to get them, the Enquirer says, "You must
not be premature" And this because, by
the guilty connivancc Of TINT wicked man
pendleton, thousands already in Office,
and who have been there for years, will
remain until removed by death or for
~cause"! We have shown how many thou
sands como under this head and how
many more thousands don't, and yet there
is this anguish and this apparent "spilin'
for a fight"
Hero We have a little encouraging sop
for tho coming President, by way OF stif-
fleming his backbone SO that he shall bun
die out at least the whole OF tho trembling
$4,000: president Cleveland being an
honest, sturdy Democrat, would like to
appoint honest, worthy Democrats, no
matter how mcager in education they
might be, but Il Republican Senate with
the pendlcton bill rs a club will be able 10
successfully check him." This is praise
indeed. II SO gorgeous n compliment
doesn't please Governor Cleveland, it will
certainly make frantic with delight Mr..
Curtis and Mr.. Schurz aud the rast Of tho
independents who claim to have sup

mourned over the disaffection of their
renegade brother as if work were vice
aud idleness a virtue; but Frank kept
steadily on, and even went so far as to
disfgure the front of the house with a
sign. To be sure, it was a nice, neat
little silver plate, with only ''F. Canes
WORT, M. d." on it, but it drew too
many poor people.
On this particular afternoon DIR.
Ganesvoort had occasion to hunt up a
book on the library shelves. 1t was an
old one, and had been tucked out OF
sight. As he searched for it strange
sound met his ears-a sound as of
some one sobbing. Now Frank knew
very well whose little room opened on
the library, and if he had tender spot
in his heart at all it was tor the pretty
young cousin who inhabited that rooms

he descended from the library steps
and knocked at Teresa's door. There
was no answer until he had repeated
his knock, and then there was a muf

ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND "nIGHT
SMART OF BEARs.n
On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged southern planter. Indicating by sweep
OF his arm the waters the boat was passing over,
he said to a passenger from the North "When I
was twelve years old killed my first bear on a
new plantation my father was then cutting out OF
forest that grew directly over the waters Of this
bend. That was mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart OF bears there, too But
that one thousand acres of land went into the Mis-
sissippi years ago."
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests OF youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength are swept I'm the same
disease and death. Yet It should not be 50. That
III so Is a disgrace as well as a loss. People are
largely too careless or too stupid 10 defend their
own interests the most precious Of which is
health. That gone, all Is gone. Disease is simple
but TO reckleSnesS or ignorance the simplest things
might as well be complex as proposition In Comic
Sections AS the huge Western rivers which 80
often flood the cities along their shores arise In a
few mountain springs so all our ailments can be
traced to impure blood and a small group OF dis
ordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for dis
ease Is PARKER'S TONIC. 1t goes to the sources
the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their
work afresh, and disease Is driven out. The Tonic
is not, however, an intOxicant, but cures desire
for strong drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, or troubles which have refused to yield to
other agents? Here Is your help.

1t Is the 14th day of February, and
DR.. Gansevoort is mounting the stairs
of a New York boarding house. He
has a patient on the top floor, for whom
he has more than a scientific interest,
and as he enters the room, which he
has at last reached, he looks with anx-
iety towards the dormer window filled
with flowers. The patient is standing
there with watering can and scissors
tending her plants. His anxiety is re-
lieved when he sees the little tinge of
color on his patients face and the glad
bright glance she gives him.

1t is night in one of the great city
hospitals, and all is silent but for the
means of those in pain and the mutter,
ings of those in fever.
Pacing slowly up and down the
aisle of ward full of white cots on
which are helpless sufferers is a nurse
whose duty it is to watch and wait
upon those who require the little atten-
tions they cannot bestow upon them
selves.
To one she gives a glass of water,
anothers pillow needs raising and an
other demands soothing words. To
all alike she yields cheerful compliance,
stopping often merely to give a kind
look or little show of interest. The
dim light falls upon her slim figure in
its neat gown and reveals the sweet
and sympathetic face of woman of
mature years, more beautiful even than
in its first bloom.
1t is face of rare charm, so con-
tented, so placid, and yet so bright and
cheerful. Evidently to these poor sick
people it is boon just to gaze upon it.
But just now she is called away; a
physician wishes to speak to her
probably give his orders for the night.
She hastens to the office, where he is
waiting.

from up town. You know DIR. Gan
