George Hearst and the Drunk.

Senator Hearst is not mean; on
the contrary, he is generous with his
money, but he is not in the habit of
releasing his grip on a dollar until he
knows where it is going. For in
stance:
I" Please, sir. will you assist poor
man who is out of work, and has q
family depending upon him?"
The inquiry was made by fellow
who darted out of dark doorway
near the Senator's newspaper Office
one evening last winter.
The Senator turned watery eye
on the beggar, saw his unshaven face,
his shabby raiment, and unwashed,
shally hands.
Z" So you've got a family, have
you? Where dye live?,'
+" Round on Pacific street, sir"
Go ahead and take me there. If
you amt lying I'll do the square
thing, pardner."
The man had family, sure enough.
He showed the Senator into a foul
room in the third story of a rockery.
There were three children, decent
looking woman and sewing-machine.
The woman wept when questioned
They were very poor and often hum
CRY. All their troubles came from
the drunkenness of the husband
The culprit sullenly owned to the
truth of the statement.
" All right" said Uncle George,
rising. He gave the woman sum of
money that made her speecEless.
"Come along with me-" said
Hearst to the husband, who obeyed
with alacrity.
At the next corner the Senator
turned the amazed man over to po-
liceman.
"Book this fellow for vagrancy,"
said the philanthropist. Pllappear
against him tomorrow. He's been
striking me for piece.
"Now, you," said Uncle George
next day when he had secured sem
tence of three months for the loafer,
Z" If you've a mind to be decent when
you get out come to me and I'll give
you show"
And the man. three months later,
did come. Uncle George sent him
and his family to one of his ranches,
where, to do the fellow justice, he has
avoided the bottle and behaved him
self.
"I amt opposed to drinking" the
Senator is given to remarking. "If
a man can afford it, all right; hut
when he can't 1 go in for sending him

PoETIcAL.
The LindsaY's Bridal.

1The first marriage of Colin. Earl of Lindsay
and Balcarras, TO Maurizia de Nassau, took
place in extreme youth, ut the Court of James
IL. under the circumstances and with the re
suit narrated.l
In blithe London Town
Ne'er such bridal was known
As this of Earl Colin, the Lindsay go gay;
Der the Border, in sooth,
Never came BONNER youth,
And the Kings self shall give the fair iady
away
The bridemaids and bride
Are here in their pride
But why ere the rite this long pause and delay
'Tis for Colin they wait
The " Light Lindsay" is late:
The bridegroom forgotteth his own marriage
dayl
The envoy was meet,
And the bridegroom is fleet;
he stands at the counter in bridal array;
But what lacks he now2
Why this cloud on his brow7
The ring that should make her his Countess
for ayel
oh, a rings easy found
Mid the guests standing roundl
And borrowed ring served on that strange
marriage day;
But when spoke wns the oath
That united them both,
She looked on the ring, and she tainted away.
Twas ring with a tomb
And legend of gloom,
And she wist that to death she was welded
that day.
They cheered her amain:
But, alas, twas in vainI
And she drooped and she died ere year wa:
away.

A member of the Winchester Union
Band, writing from New York on the
occasion of the recent excursion of
that organization to New Hampshire,
says:
We called on our friend c. B.
Rouss, on our return from Brooklyn
the first thing Charley says " come
on boys and take a look through my
shop" He only has seven fioors, about
forty feet wide, and perhaps 125 feet
long or more, and each floor full Of
goods. We could not get away from
this little Napolean without first TAX
ing lunch and desert with him, i
called Il dinner; we then returned TO
his shop, and each member of Che
band was handed nice present. Not
wishing to detain him from his BUSH
ness, we very reluctantly gave him the
grasp of friendship and parted.

1t Was the President.

A cirious incident occurred re-
Gently during President Cleveiand's
morning stroll in the Adirondacks.-
A bright-eyed but roughly-dressed
lad met him near the lake, but had
no idea that he was the President.
50 Excuse me, mister, but do yot

amused smile.
Z" Well I'm glad to hear it. S'pose

"oh, yes; 1 have seen him FREE

as heard he was here sot out, and

The smile on the Presidential face
still broadened.
MY old dad has been totin' up
in the mountings for thirty years, be-
gosh, but none of the fellers he voted
for got elected until he went fur
Cleveland. Since then our luck
changed, begosh. Cattle quit dyingi

"There, begosh, you amt, are

Some broken sentences, n scared
face and three or four gasps mingled
with dust and retreating footsteps,
and the young man from the noun
tains disappeared down the roadway.
The formidable reality of the Exec.
utive's presence was too much for
the Young mountaineer.

THE CAUSES OF "sELF-polsoNINe.' ,
How NiTuIent Poisons Are Sometimes

How NiTuIent PoIsons Are Sometimes
Developed Within the Human system.
Our readers are familiar with the fact
that, in BrIghts disease, the kidneys are
unable fully TO remove their allotted pur-
tion of the waste matter Of the system
Hence this accumulates in the blood as q
hurtful and often as a fatal poison, the
heart, lungs or brain at length giving way
under its influence.

Thirty years ago it was discovered that
accomplishing animal substance develops "A
violent poison. Twenty years later the
poisonous principle was isolated. crystal

1870 Gautier discovered a sumewha sim

In 1881 DIR. Gautier found that such
poisons constantly appear in the eXcre-
tions of living and healthy animals and
even in the saliva. The term leuCumainr
WAS adopted as the name Of such as are
developed in the living body They are
believed TO be normal products of bod
lily waste, as much SO as CarboniC
acid, urea, etc. According To Gautier,
they accumulate in the blood when
for various reasons the skin, the kidneys.
and the digestive tract fail to eliminate
them.
In a state Of health we resist inCessant
selfpoisoning, not only by elimination of
the poisonous principle. but especially by
its combustion in the body. Says the Bus
ton Medical and Surgical Journal:
The greater part of these poi~ons are
