Politics Too Much for Him.

A lady on Fifth Avenue, New York,
quickly summoned a doctor:
ooh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead.
He attended q caucus last night. DE
made four speeches. and promised to be
with his fellow citizens again to-day. But
oh, doctor, he looks nearly dead"
Has be been in politics longH'
No. only last year. He worked hard
for *James McCaulsy's election"
"He will get we'll, madam! He has q
stomach for any disease, if be worked for
him.
Political life, Of short or long duration,
is very exhaustiDg, as is evident from the
great mortality which prevails among pub
lie men. Ex-United States Senator b. h.
Bruce, who has been long in public lie,
says:
1.-THE other day, when stepping Into q
car at q crossing, l found DR.. = within,
who eyed me up and down in a surprised
way, remsrking:
"'Why, Senator, how well you look!
"'Weil, l feel pretty well, / answered"
The doctor uttered an incredulous re-
ply, when the Senator frankly told him,
in answer to an inquiry, that it was War
ner's safe cure which accomplished for
him what the profession had failed to do.
Senator Bruce says his friends are very
much astonished at this revelation Of pow
er.-The Globe.

What a Resident of Weston Says of Its
Published Text.
To the Editor of he RegiSsr.
WESTON, December SIN your daily
issue Of the 7th inst, in speaking OF Mr..
Nathan COTS will, you say "by lspses is
meant the provisions in the will where con-
ditions are imposed such as that the de-
yisee be living al the time Of Mr.. Nathan
COTS death. For instance, the bequests
of SIS, 900 to Waldo P. COT aud OF $l0,-
900 to DR.. Thomas NJ. Golf. will go to
General Gof, because they were both dead
before Uncle Nathan"
think you are mistaken. | see moth,
ing in Mr.. Nathan COTS will that would
give the beauest to Waldo P. Golf OF S25,-
600 to General Golf on the death of the
testator.
If the newspapers report the will cor
rectly, the gift of $4,000 to Waldo +.
Golf went on the death of Mr.. Nathan
Goff to the four children of Waldo P.
Gof under l2th Sec, chap. II, page 48l,
Code West Virginia, which reads: III q
deyisee or legatee die before the
testator leavirg issue who sur
vive the teststor, such issue
shall take the estate devisedo r bequeathed,
as the devisee or legates would have done,
If he had survived the ~testator, unless a
different disposition thereof be made or
required by the will"
Certain it is, the word, Of the will, THE
remainder Of his estate not disF osed OF, in
GLIDING all lapses, shall 60 to General
Gof." would moi give the legacy OF
$4,000 TO Waldo P. Goff to General COT
alone. The $4,000 bequest to Waldo P.
GoG, went on the death OF Mr. Nathan
Gof (%unless there is something in the will
not vet published By the ne%wspaper8) 10
Waldo P. COTS now living children in
equal shares, to May, Hattie, Charles and
the General, $3.50 each
The gift of $4,000 to DE-. Thomas NJ.
GoF, on his death, lapsed. Why? Because
be had no issue living at the time OF Mr..
Nathan COTS death.
Iexpect after Uncle Nsthsn's chooses in
action will have gone through the crucibie
Of collection, the residuum will not be
great.

The Stranger Was Surprised.
From the Philsdolphia Times.
"Well, I neyer saw the like


well, I never saw the like"
Such was the exclamation heard
while whizzing along in an express
train of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad the other day. Ihad
been deeply immersed in novel and
had not noticed that tho weather had
changed and that it was raining. "Oh,
that's nothing; we see it every spring
and fall" Tho speaker was q brakeman
and his remark was addressed to the
man who had never seen the like. The
latter had arisen from the seat IN front
OF mine to get drink of water and had
halted to gaze out of the opposite win
dow. The brakeman stood by his side
and continued: "That's nothing; this
is the dividing line between rain and
snow at this season."
Glancing from my window on the
south side of the car saw the pane
mottled with raindrops and board
fence running parallel to the track black
with wet. Then peeping out of win
dow on the north side understood the
strangers surprise. The ground on
that side of the track was gray with
snowflakes and they were still falling.
1.-THE dividing line-how?' stammer-
ed the man addressed by tho brakeman.
why, this is the point where the d.
viding line between rain-storms and
snow. storms crosses this road, !" said the
brakeman. "Of course I don't mean
that every storm hore is snow to the
north of us and rain to the south of us,
but at just this season of the year q
storm is sure to be divided within O
quarter of mile of this spot. not far
from Allendale."
"How do you explain it?n Iasked.
Explain it?" said the brakeman. II
don't pretend to. I only know our
trainmen have noticed it for years every
spring and fall in this neiglborhood If
. storm came up at tho right season.
Some folks as is wiser than / say that
the air from tho sea impregnates the
other dir as for inland as this warns it,
while beyond this belt of country the
breath of the Gulf Stream, as you might
call it has no effect. But 1 don't know
Il can't tell. I just know it's this way
onst year, rs you can SEQ for your
self" and he vanished in the direction
of the baggage car.
