HumboIdfs NIaniac.

IS 4
The case of the late mad King Louis
Of Bavaria revived the very old question
as to where reason ends and madness
begins. APrOPOs Of the discussion, a
French paper tells a story. During one
Of his visits to Paris, Baron Won Hum
boldt expressed to his friend, DR..
Blanche, the distinguished authority IN
matters concerning insanity, a desire to
meet one Of his patients.
Nothing easier" said DR.. Blanche.
Come and take dinner with me tO-mOr-
row."
Next day Humboldt found himself
seated at the dinner-tabIe Of the famous
alienist, In company with two unknown
guests. One Of them, who was dressed
in black, with white cravat, gold-bOwed
spectacles, and who had a smooth face
and very bald head, sat with great
gravity through the entire dinner. He
was evidently a gentleman Of undOubted
manners, but very taciturn. He bowed,
ate, and said not a word.
The otter guest, on the contrary, wore
great shock Of hair brushed wildly into
the air; his shabby blue coat was but
toned askeW, his collar was rumpled, and
the ends OF his crazy necktie hOated over
his shoulders. He helped himself, ate,
and chartered at the same time
Story upon story did the incOherent
person pile up. He mixed the past with
present, few from Swedenborg to Fourier
from Cleopatra to Jenny Lind, from Ar
chimedes to Lamartine, and talked poll
tics and literature In the same breath.
AT the dessert, Humboldt leaned over
and whispered in his hosts ear, CHANGING
at the same time at the fantastic person
age, whose discourse was still running
on:
al am very much obliged to you. Your
maniac has greatly amused me-"
'AIy mRniacr' said the doctor, starting
back. ''Why that isn't the lunatic. It's
the other one"
''Whatl The one that hasn't said
word?"
Certainly"
'.But who In the world can the man be
who has talked in this fashion all the
while?'
THAT is Balzac, the famous novelist.

Colonel IngersOn on Lawyers.

Colonel IngersOn on Lawyers.
Boston Herald.
'Ihe lawyer is merely a sort Of intel
lectual strumpet. He is prepared to re-
ceive big fees and make the best of either
side OF any case. He is a sort Of q bur
glar IN the realm OF mentality. 1t is a
fortunate tEing for the lawyer that, when
ever a man is created who has the pecu-
liar faculty for legal requirements and
controversy, at the same time enough
fools spring into existence to give him
good living. 1t is illustrated In the story
Of the man who studied for the ministry
and occupied the pulpit for a number Of
years without success, and then studied
medicine and Practiced this profession
for number Of years without success,
and then studied law and, entering upon
its practice, made a fortune at it. He
declared he had found men more willing
to pay for having their own way than to
be guaranteed their own souls or to keep
their bodies whole. Ny ideal Of a great
lawyer is that great English attorney
who, having accumulated q fortune Of
81, 100000, left it all In a viii TO make a
home for idiots, declaring that he wanted
to give it back to the people from whom
he took It b"
'YOur opinion seems to be more severe
on your clients than yourself" said.
The Colonel laughed as he said: s'I
never want to know much about my
clients. never want to know whether
they are guilty or not. I do not even
care to know what they can prove.
What want to know is what the other
fellow can prove. When I know that L

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever.
Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due
20 the presence Of living parasites in the lin

A Chance Tor Young Men.

1t is not an unmized calamity which
has deprived the democratic party Of so
many Of its old and eminent leaders
within the last few months. Their loss
viii compel the party to rely more on its
younger men-Those who, like CIeve-
land, Carlisle, Manning and Hill, have
entered public life since the close Of the
war, and are governed less by the tradi-
tons and prejudices Of the past than by
the needs and issues OF the present.
Without intending disrespect to any
the eminent living republicans, We think
that party would be greatly helped by a
few funerals. Death brings the only
cure for some types OF Bourboniam. The
statesmen who are still living In the past
In their thoughts and sympathies are
poor leaders for the living present. Both
parties have suffered from giving too
much heed to the counsel OF their old
men. They viii progress faster when

CONCLUSION.
My fellow citizens, the issues Of this cam
palgn are Of vital importance to the pros
per1ty and happiness Of this state, and this
nation. Republicans Of Kansas, remember
that IN less than two years from this time,
We Wltl be IN the midst Of a presidential
campaign. Do your duty now, and the re
result then will be assured. Support with
voice and pen and vote the candidates Of
your party-the men who represent cOnVic-
tionss principles and policies approved
BY your judgment and dear to your hearts.
Ihele has never been a time, from 1860
down TO the present moment, when the re-
publican party more fully deserved the sup
port Of all loyal and just minded men than
It does now. Rally around the old banner
Of repubhcanism-the flag of Lincoln, and
Grant, and Garfield, and Logan, and Blaine.
Vote with and for the party that gave liberty
to the slave, and restored the union and
brought back peace and prosperity to bless a
distracted and impoverished land. Vote with
the party that has made Kansas famous
throughout the civilized world as
state where uneLampled ma
teril growth has gone hand
IN hand With unsXampled social and intel
lectual progress. Vote with the party that
Is striving 70 make every home in Kansas a
prosperous and happy home. Vote for the
party that Is always and everywhere the
party of good government, Of social order,
OF liberty and law. Do this, do it earnestly
and faithfully and the benedictiOn of an
approving conscience Will fall upon and
abide with you forever.
