COMPLETE MEDICATION.

A hIe occurred Tn an Arkansaw town the other night, but the chief of the fire department paid TO attention to the alarm. The next night he was summoned to ap. pear before the council.
 MT. Chief, said the mayor, " did you hear the fire alarm last night 2'
 "Yes."
 "Were you in good health at the time of the alarm 2
 "Yes, believe was.'
 Then, you ackno wledge a willful neglect of duty?"
 "No, sir"
 "Why, then, did you not respond if you were not determined to neglect your duty?"
 Couldn't get way"
 Illness in your family ?"
 "No."
 "Then, sir, demand the reason"
 Well, you see psssel of us fellows were in Anderson's back room when the bell rang, had four aces at the time, and"
 "What?"
 "Yes, held four aces. John Buckner began to bluff, and"
 How did it result ?' the mayor asked with heightened interest. "Oh, lifted him for about two hun dred." "You don't say SO. Gentlemen, that vas doubtless very interesting game. As there is no business of any importance we'll adjourn and go down to Anderson S back room" Next morning, the daily paper con- tained the following notice: "The enemies of our chief oi the fire department having circulated reports to the effect that he had willfully neglected ais duty, tha! gentleman was last night Summoned before the city council to an- swer the charges brought against him. The investigation resulted in a complete Hndication of our worthy chief, and snends on every side pressed forward to Congratulate him. The idler's tongue is ever fippant, and, to our shame be it said, we are ever willing to harken 10 the sords of the traducer. Our worthy chief vh be candidate for re selection, and, as the matter now stands, it will be im- possible to defeat him."

A dissatisfied reader of this paper and there are doubtless many of them writes as follows "i like THE TRAVELLER very we'll but find one fault with it. You clip above the majority of your read. CTS. like to see clean articles but don't want them to be so efined and high toned that can't understand them. Give Us something of the roaring order and can get you ht:y subscribers in my eighberhood.' We do not see why piece of reading matter must be coarse to be understood, If our cores pondent finds HE TRAlELER above him, he should erdeavor to rise. Our paper is not suited but 1t cannot consent to come down. We are not publishing rip roaring" paper. To mx harmless amuse- ment with much instructive matter Is our aim. We were told that paper of this kind could not live in the south, but the prediction fell short. THE TRAVELLER is in excellent health and is constantly gro wing. It has never had boom; has never suffered back set. Our aim was 10 make it a solid institution and we have not failed. The smutty joke " and the broad insinua.ion do not find places ln OUT columns.

Josh Billings, who died recently, was one of the most noted humorous writers of the age. Many of his sayings will live. His merit was no. in bad spelling, ku, in making sensible remark ID hu- mmous way. Al the time of his death he ~as worth about one hundred thou- sand dollars. This may seem to be quite a large sum, but il is nothing in compar- ison with the life earnings of m any a man who never had an enHobling thought.

He is A new broom tha. does no; make clean sweep, but the fact that he IS going to New York to vote, stamps him as an of .asiye par. tisan. If a president has right, under the tight lacings of civil service reform, to vote, ,hird-class postmaster has a right to attend ward meeting. There is much hunbugry about the purity :" cry. Men can be active politicians and still be reasonably honest.
