When he had been there one week the
boarding house keeper said he was one of
the incest, quietest young men she ever
had in her house. He had no complaints
to make at the table, and he left his room
so slick and clean that the chambermaid
had suspicious that he was a woman in
disguise. At the end of month"; rather
than have him go, the landlady would
have agreed to purchase porterhouse
steak once a week, and to replace the old
rug in his room with a new one costing
so cents. The other night, however, her
enthusiasm received set back One of
the boarders came down stairs and re.
ported that he had heard groaus and signs
and curses from the quiet boarder's room.
Three or four people tip-toed up, and at
ter bit they plainly caught his words:
couch Hang it Condemn it to Hall
fax. but it's killing me by inches y
Then it was realized that the quiet man
had some great sorrow on his mind, and
it was suspected that he was contemplate
ing suicide,
"Oohi" he called out. Great Heav-
ems, but how suffer Why was such a
fool as to follow that vaillin's advice? '
He had probably taken poison or was
trying to drive a darning needle to his
heart. The landlady thought of the cor
oner's inquest, the item in the paper, and
questions the reporters would ask, and
she grew frantic.
Hey, Smith - Mr.. Smith you,
Smith !" she called, as she raped on the
door, "but what on earth is the matter ?"
Nothing" came the solemn answer,
but as she put her ear to the key hole she
heard soft groans and a whispered voice
saying:
ats got to be done at any cost"
"Mr. Smith, she continued. don't YOU
dare commit suicide in my house! If YOU
do I'll have you sent to Jail for year, 1t
wasn't six months ago that a woman tried
to poison herself to death in that very
room. and haven't got over the fright
yet, Say, you"
WELL" came the faint reply.
Have you taken poison ?"
| mo"
There was an interval of silence while
she put her ear to the key hole again. and
pretty soon she heard the boarder gallop
up and down and hiss between his clenched
teeth:
Great Scott, but was mortal man ever
called upon to suffer as do"
Say" she whispered, as she turned to
the boarders, this door has got to be
broken down without delay. That un-
grateful man has taken rough on rats and

While in many respects, and perhaps in "A
majority of its phases, the year that has
just closed has not materially differed from
any year of the past twenty five, and in
consequence Is not more notable, yet in
one vital point it stands in direct contrast
to any year since 1860; for the year just
gone witnessed the transfer of national
powers from the hands of republican au.
tnCrity to those of democratic executive.
This in itself marks 1885, viewed in the
light of political history, as the most re.
markable year of the century, both as re
spects the public affairs of this and other
nations.
The mere transfer of the conduct of the
government from the control of the leaders
of one political party to that OF another,
and the embodying in the administration
of national affairs of one set of political
principles instead of another, do not in
themselves and of themselves give the year
such great importance, FOR changes of party
and political tenets have not been rare DC
curences in this country since 1900. Ii Is
the circumstances surrounding the event
and the accomplishment of IL in view of
those circumstances that makes the fact
one of marked importance.
After an absence and total exclusion from
public place and the emoluments of public
office for quarter Of a century, the demo
cratic party is once more the dominant
party In the affairs of the nation. To day
Its chosen representative sits In the seat of
national authority, and the reins of national
government rest in democratic hands. Into
the conduct of public business the control
ing principles of true Jeffersonian demo
cracy are being infused, and the country
is already seeing the benefcent effects arts
Ing therefrom.
Two very important things have been
