If word spoken in time is worth
one piece Of money, silence in it's time
is worth two.
1t isn't so much what q man has
that makes him happy as it is what
he doesn't want.
The great beauty of charity is
privacy; there is sweet force even
in an anonymous penny.
There is nothing so valuable, and
yet so cheap, as civility; you can
almost buy land with it.
Prayer was not invented-it was
born with the first sigh, the first sor-
row of the human heart.
Nothing tests mans true inward
ness better than to feel like demon
and be obliged to act like a saint.
1t is he who has much and wants
more who is poor, and he who has
little and is Herewith content who is
rich.
1t may be a paradox, but it is true
nevertheless, that whoever under
stands his dependence upon others is
likely to be the real independent.
No one ought to remind another OF
misfortune of which the sufferer does
not complain, and which there are nc
means proposed of alleviating.
Actions speak more forcibly than
words; they are the test Of charae-
ter. Like fruit upon tree they
show the nature of man, while mo.
tives, like sap, are hidden from oul
view.
The interests of health are as much
opposed to discontents as they are
favored by the calm spirit of content

MEXICO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY JULY 20, 1886
The End of The Session.

One of the essential differences be-
tween the civilized man and the saw
age is that the former Is provident to
q large extent, while the latter is not.
The one looks long way ahead and
regulates his conduct accordingly,
while the other bothers himself COM
paratively little about the future. 1t
may be inferred from this and from
common observation together that
there is a good deal Of the savage
still lingering in the average man,
and particularly in those members of
the human family who constitute the
Congress of the United States. Year
after year does this body waste time
during the early and middle parts of
the session to find itself overcrowded
with business towards the close which
it canaot pay proper attention to.
From the fact that attention is al
most invariably called at the begin
ming of each session to this constantly
recurring state of affairs and virtuous
resolutions are adopted to do things
in an industrious and effective way,
and that the improved programme is
never carried out, the conclusion is
almost irresistible that Congressman
as class do not possess enough
civilization. There is no chance now
for the careful consideration of any
important measure before Congress.
The best that can be done is to rem
der the bills which must be passed as
innocuous as possible on short notice
and 10 postpone other things until
the next session.
Members are in no condition for
earnest and thoughtful work. They
are weary and want to leave Wash
ington. Many of them have left, and
every once in while the lack of a
quorum is revealed. Discussion on
the tariff question at this time, for
instance, is preposterous. Such O
discussion requires attention, calcula-
tior, careful thought and forbear.
ance. And the capacity for any one
of these has run very low. The i'll
humor of disappointed men, the wor
riment of anxious ones and the inn
patience of the wearied all combine
to aggravate the difficulty of dealing
with mass of business which coulC
not be disposed of within the expect
ed period if every one was in gooc
condition for work. Such squabble'
with word and with fists as have re
Gently taken place are the natura
outcome of the situation. When Con
gress is not in good trim for dealing
with new legislation it should not at
tempt it unless it is something Of al
imperative character. 1t had bette
let it ''go over' and spend its vaca
ton praying for the time when th
work of the session can be done un
der provident system of distribu
tion. Possibly that degree Of civiliza
ton will be reached after a while.

Her Baby Boy was Dead.


An intelligent looking young Irish
woman, with swollen eyes and tear
stained cheeks, alighted from the
mail express at the Union Depot at
1910 o'clock yesterday, and made
her way to the ladies' waiting-room.
In her arms she carried babe close
ly wrapped in comfortable tidy
clothing, while a little 3-year-old
boy toddled along by her side.
When the woman sat down IN the
waitingroom and looked about on
the strange faces around her she
seemed dazed and bewildered as one
whose feelings had reacted after a
violent burst of grief. The little boy
seemed to share instincively in his
mothers grief, and looked sorrow
fully in her face with his big bright
eyes, wondering why she was so sad
and quiet.
1t took the tender hearted ladies in
the room but an instant to see that
the woman was a stranger and in
trouble, and in few minutes they
had learned her simple story. She
had come direct from ireland and
had a pleasant trip all the way, think
ing of meeting her husband, John
Logan, who worked in a ''shed' as
he called it, in one of the big mills in
Pittsburg, and had sent her a nice
sum of money to come to him. But
when nearly at her tiresome Journeys S
end, somewhere near Latrobe, her
baby boy, Is months old, took vio-
lently i'll and now it is dead. Then
the poor woman unwound the wraps
from about the child and looked dis
tractedly at its cold, white face, while
the ladies wiped away their tears and
one young woman kissed the child
and wept as if it had been her own.
! just then the door opened and 8
powerful, broad-shouldered man oTeI
six feet high, appeared. The woman's
first impulse was to rush into the big
mans arms and kiss him, but before
their lips could touch his eyes caught
sight of the dead child and he turned
away fom the little woman and CRIED
like a heart-hroken child. He wa;
John Logan, the man who worked il
the "shcd," and though he had neve
seer his babe before, his joyful ex
pectations had been strung so hig il
the certainty of seeing it alive ant
happy, that he lost control of him
self until one of the depot officer
told him kindly to bear his grief lik'
man.
The man took the babe in bis arm
and walked away. followed by hi
wife and little boy, to the home tha
!. was waiting to receive them full Q
gladness, and relating happy tales o
their long separation, instead @
mourning over the new separation
that could not be ended on earth.
The child was hale and hearty un
, til it reached Latrobe, and died be
tween Greensburg and Pen Station
presumably from the effects of in
tense beat and probably drinking ic
water.

The Leader is not making a per

it even spoken of Dick except in the

tor Of this paper has known him from
childhood, and far be it from him to
attack the personal character of one

attacked Dick political record, moth
ing more, nothing less. That he is

Sam Cook should so rersistently urge
wrong motives upon the part of the
Lcuder when he knows now and has
known ever since he has been con-
nected with the newspaper business

political record. As the editor of the
Warrenton Banner two years ago he
is fully posted as to the means en-
ployed by the said Norton to secure
the strength he developed in the con-
ventions at Montgomery City and
New London. As the editor of the
Warrenton Banner he is fully posted
as to the said Norton's political
crookedness in previous elections in
Lincoln county. As the editor of the
Mexico Httetljgencer he knows fullwell
that the said Dick captured both
Lincoln and st. Charles in manner

Stockings That are Bad for the Feet.

STOCKINGS That are BAD f0f the Feet.
The many lines of the stockings in
the shop windows makes ones eyes
ache. Although, black, blue and
dark reds and their auxiliary shades
predominant, the drift is toward glar-
ing colors, and they will be at US in
full force before many months are
past. Pretty as the colored stock
ings are, they are bad for the feet
no matter what their cost or material.
Arsenic is used in large quantities in
i. the dyes-so an expert tells me-and
is transmitted to the blood through
the coloring that stains the feet. The
high-priced stockings hold the dye
better than the cheaper grades, and
the arsenic absorbed from them is
less than from the cheap foot-gear.
But the $40 silk stocking stains as
we'll as the 25 cent cotton one. 1t
isn't absolutely necessary to use
arsenic in the dyes, 1 am told; but
for the reason that artistic eyes are
more satisfactory in al artistic sense
they are used. We are great peo-
pie for artistic finish. don't expect
to "head off, a single woman from
wearing colored stockings, but I do
hope to induce them to keep them off
