Two felines had fallen in love,

He stood on a fence just above.

It's slight so rs quite to confuse 'em,
For 1t Swallowed Young Tommy cats head
Right over on Tabby cats bosom.

To move, though, they made no endeavor;
They thought me no doubt a machine,
To walk back awards and forwards fore yer.
Their song on the night breezes rang:
And sweet was the voice OF each screamer;
The tune to the words that they sang
Was tOster's-"Ih he Beautiful Dreamer"
Cat singing has heen 40 belied
That some people say that they hate it:

Here in the moonlight, and 10 one to see

SMITHS SALOON
Why a PIttsburg Man Went Out of the
Liquor Business.

Liquor Business.
From, the Pitt6burg Dispatch.
az hear that Smith has sold out his saloon"
said one of a couple of middle aged men,
who sat slipping their beer and eating bit of
cheese in Smithfeld street saloon last Fri
day night.
Yes" responded the other, rather slowly
"W hat was the reason: | thought he was
just coming money there"
The other nibbled a cracker abstractedly
for moment and then said: "It's rather a
funny story. Smith, you know, lives on
Mount Washington right near me, where he
has an excellent vile, a nice nome and three
as pretty children as ever played outdoors.
All boys, you know, the oldest not over 8, and
all about the same size. Smith Is Il pretty re-
spectacle sort Of a citizen, never drinks or
CANDLES, and thinks the world of his family.
We'll, he went home one afternoon last
week, and found his wife out shopping or
something of that sort. He went on through
the house into the back yard and there. I'M
der an apple tree, were the little fellows
pla ing. They had bench and some bottles
and tumblers and were playing * ep saloon
He noticed that they were drinking some
thing out OF pail, and that they acted tipsy.
The youngest, who was behind the bar, had a
towel tied around his waist, and was setting
the drinks up pretty free. Smith walked
over and looked in the pail. 1t was beer, and
two of the boys were so drunk that they stag
gered. neighbor's boy, a couple Of years
older, lay asleep behind the tree.
"'My God. boys, you must not drink that,
he said as he lifted the siX-year- old from be-
hind The bench.
yves playin' s'loon, papa, an l was
selin' it just like you said the little fellow.
smith poured out the beer, carried the
drunken boy home and then took his own
boys in and put them to bed. When his wife
came back she found him crying like a child.
He came back down town that night and sold
out his business and says he will never sell or
drink another drop Of liquor. His wife told
mine about it, and she broke down crying
while she told it,"
This is true story, but the name was not

Republican politicians continually in.
sist that they are greatly disappointed be.
cause the President has not made ''clean
sweep" of all the Republican otliceholders.
They say that ifhe had pursued that course
he would have done the Republican party
a double service. He would nave given
the Republican press chance to make a
noise about violating the civil service law,
and ut the same time would have cleared
the offices of great number OF compare
lively useless Republicans for whom the
Republican party has no use, and who
will only be burden to it II it should
happen to get control of the government
again.
1t is doubtless true that the Republi-
can leaders would be better pleased il
the official AK were used much more
freely. They have raised all the disturb
ance they could over the dismssals
which nave been made, but the number
hasn't been large enough to afford them
much of an opportunity to make such an
cutlery as they would like to.
1t is mistake to think that they care
about keeping in office the great majority
OF Republicans who are still in the public
service. They are supremacy selfish, and
would be glad to have all who have ceased
TO be Of any benefit to tue party removed
The fact that the failure TO make a
"clean sweep" pleases the leaders OF
neither Of the great parties may be taken
as an indication that the people are not
wholly dispeased. As long as they do
not complain the President is pretty safe
in pursuing his present course.

1t is said that one of the first things
which the new government in England
proposes to do is to investigate the charge
that prominent English officials who are
clothed with authority to make contracts
for the building of vessels for the navy,
and for guns for the navy, have been get
ting rich by giving very profitable con-
tracts to those who share the profits with
them.
A story has been set aflOat that is cal
culated TO cast suspicion on the integ-
rlty of Senator Logan and at least two
other Senators in connection with the
purchase Ofguns for the War Department.
The story is that certain iron works at
Boston have been given contracts for
fmakng guns, and that they are to have
other profitable contracts of the same
kind In these iron works the Senators
are interested through a certain patent
for obtaining intense heat FOR melting
and casting iron. Senator Logan is
Chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, and also a member of
the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
An amendment was lately added to the
Notifications bill appropriating $6O,0OO to
enable the Secretary of War to contract
with the Boston Iron Works in question
or the construction of certain guns.
Gen. Logan's hands may be clean, and
the suspicion tlat he is using his in.
tluence to advance his personal interests
may be without foundation, but as he is a
Presidential candidate he will be apt to
have his acts which suggest crookedness
interpreted against him. He has never
been caught in any Of the schemes which,
at Washington, are used to tempt Con-
gressmen from the strict line of duty and
integrity, and for that reason tie public
