regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of The

A Boston Bean Story.

A Florida youth who bought pair
of shoes without trying them on found
on reaching home that they were just
an eighth of an inch too small all
around. He thought, however, that
he would enlarge them sufficiently by
the "bean" process, so he filed each
shoe to the top with large white beans
the variety that swell nearly double
their size-gave them all the water
they would hold, and left them over
night to the mercy of the beans. In
the morning he found that they had in
creased in size from No. 5 to apparent
ly No. s, and that the uppers had raised
up on one side, exposing huge crevice
and allowing the beans to escape for
several feet around. The next time he
will pare down his feet.-Boston

any cars, but happened to read the

They both listened, and sure enough

anxiously up the track for the train, but

POLITICAL.

There was a lively scene at one of the

to denounce the political associates of his
brother Senator's, Riddleberger and Malone,

upon Mr.. Evarts, the bitterness of which has
hardly been exceeded in the annals of Con-
gress. The language was of the lighting"
kind, but Mr.. Evarts neither opened his lips
nor appeared to hear it.
