Petitioners Defeat.

Parson Brownlow son John used to
tell good story about the canvass for
Congress in a Tennessee district bv
Maj Pettibone, very eloquent man, a
classical scholar. educated at Michigan
University. and with range and depth
OF information which proved his de-
feat 1t was said that he quoted the
Latin poets. while his competitor told
familiar jokes adapted to the compre-
hension of the not-over intellectual
populace of that region. and thus Sc
cured his election. One day during the
canvass Taylor and Pettihone were ad-
dressing 4 crowd of mountaineers.
Taylor dealt in Jokes and stories suited
to the comprehension of the crowd. and
kept them i'll a roar of laughter Petit
bone followed in his usual learned and
solemn style. saying that he should not
attempt to excite the risibles of the in
telligent crowd,
"What's that he said?' asked a
mountaineer of Brownlow, punching
him in the ribs.
HE said he should not attempt to ex-
cite your risibles,' replied Brownlow.
Excite my risibles!' exclaimed the
mountaineer; what does he mean bv
that"
why, he means he won't make you
laugh" replied Brownlow.
THEN why didn't he say 500 l can't
vote for no sich!'
And he didn't, and a good many
others didn t. and Pettibone was de-

Faith, Beauty and Dress.

The saints are known by their
suits. - says dim old pamphlet of the
year 1854. that they may be set apart
from the goddess and obscene in the
eyes of men, There is strong flavor
Of cant in all this, doubtless, but in those
stern, earnest days symbolism had
real significance; men wore mourning
Tor their sins, eschewing plumes and
ribbons together with the follies and
mmoralities of the gay world, The
steeple hat of gray or brown. the
straight cut doublet of "sad-color." the
black wooden stockings, and shoes with
leather buckles in harmony with the Sc
we're, bearded face were outward en-
blems of 1.-The inner strivings." Yet.
withal, there was enthusiasm of fierce
and relentless sort. manifesting itself in
the resistless charges of the Iron
sides rushing to battle with the Bible in
one hand and the sword in the other
and the war cry. "rhe Lord of Hosts.
The Lord of Hosts!' striking terror to
the hearts of many a stout cavalier.
These strong words struck deeper
than the mere flesh and bone of living
men; they slew and buried whole age;
they shattered and threw down the
slow-builded cditice of sensual beauty.
From the ruins grew new order of
thought, habit and custom. The old
rich. fervid life, transformed in them to
zeal and fanatic faith, passed away
with them entirely, leaving nothing but
The ugly, dark, meaningless symbols
The restoration was lurid and mere
tricious imitation of the old vigorous
fcnsuous life-a hollow, bedizzened,
tieformed shape occupying the niche
from which the perfect. voluptuous
statue had been thrown. Faith and be-
lief were rooted out, and an age fol-
lowed which for pure evil, meanness of
spirit, vileness and affection mas not
had its equal in the worlds history.
Out of this energies the modern man

ways, formal to the hearts core, with

Limit of Temperature.

Investigation shows that the limit of
temperature ut which men can work
depends upon the length OF their ex-
posture, the amount of exertion they
put forth. their condition, and the ma
ture OF the atmosphere, particularly AS
to its degree of moisture 1t is stated
that men have been employed on rail-
ways at l04 ., in mines-under very
favorable conditions 125 : and are
said to work occasionally in the stoke
haies OF tropical steamers at 1916 >.
Prof. Dubois is reported to have esti-
mated that IL temperature of 122 . can
be endured when the air is rs dry as
possible, but that even l04 : is likely
to prove fatal IN an atmosphere Satura-
ted with moisture 1t is also consider
ed certain that men cannot become ac-
customed to stand for any considerable
time p higher temperature than from

Over the streets were running rivers
OF water, carrying boxes, signs ETC.,

Reports have been received from more
than six hundred correspondents, covering

in Iowa and Wisconsin about the same.
The acreage last year in Minnesota, As re
ported by the agricultural department,
WAS, 3,lSl 900, with an average OF eleven
bushels per acre. making total crop OF
81 uOp. 600 bushels. This report, as to
both acreage and Yield. has been critici: ed
as being too high; but taking it to be cor
rect, this year the acreage will be about
$500, 900, and perseut indications point
to an average WELD fully us large as
that of 1881 when the total crop
WAS so 600, 600 or 800, 900 acres. In
some OF tle older counties the acreage has
decreased wv reason Of farmers changing

tirely to the opening up OF new ground.

ricultural department last year was

mated that the acreage this year is fully

So and costs. 1t was shown that the
defendant, Seidel by name, and Others
distributed boycotting handbills in front
OF Adolph Fienhold's bakery. The bills
requested everybody to withdraw patron
age from Mr. Fienhold, MS he was running
'non-union" shop. The proprietor had
several times ordered the man from his
door, but without effect. Judge Mallory,
in passing sentence. said The boycotting
OF Mr.. Fienhold was an outrage, though
the defendant and others had been urged
on by demagogues. "Reminiscences With
a mans business were unlawful. The judge
was surprised that citizens had stood this
sort Of persecution as long as they had.
Boycotting was nothing less than mob
law. The fine imposed was the extreme
penalty under the disorderly conduct
