I'm a Rather Peculiar Position.

Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton
finds himself in rather peculiar fix by
the election Of a republican lieutenant
governor OF Indiana. Mr.. Robinson and
Mr.. Edgerton both live in Indiana and
very near each other. Same years ago
when Mr.. Edgerton was running for
Office. Robinson said that if MIR. Ed. GER
ton was elected he would go over to the
latter's house and make speech from
the front porch. Mr.. Edgertan said he
would be very glad to listen to such q
speech, but Mr.. Robinson did not have
g chance to make it, because MIR. Edger-
ton was not elected. Some years later
Mr.. Robinson was nominated for the
same office, and Mr.. Edgerton, not to
be outdone by Mr.. Robinson, remarked
that il Mr.. Robinson was elected he
would 60 to the ,latter's house and make
spsech. He even went farther and said

A Raw Unto Himself.


Washington, Nov. GA few officials
seem to peraistently cling to the i'm
preston that the United States stat.
utes may be abrogated by the executive
and subordinate without the aid of con-
gress. In July @. S. Fairchiid, acting
secretary the treasury, directed
customs officials and subtreaeurers when
offered gold coin that was under the
minimum weight allowed by law to
place upon the same a distinctive mark
tes.ndicate that 1t is light in weight and
to refuse to receive the same as legal
tender. The order was received by the
subtreaeurer at San Francisco among
other officials, and when Receiver Sher-
wood, OF the land office at Marysville,
Gal, .,sent down S. 500 TO the subtreasury
for deposit in September, the treasurer
selected come $57 of gold coin, stamped
it with steel die eight and returned
1T to Sherwood. The latter fouGa him
self with this gold coin on his hands SO
mutilated that neither banks nor busi-
ness men would receive it. Mr.. Sher-
wood, =heing indignant, addressed a
letter to the subtreesurer that Is both
lively and severe. He asked by what
right he refused to receive gold coins OF
the United States, and by what right he
violates q law of the United States and
mutilates this coin. He then says he
will return the coin to the subtreasury
as part oil his deposit, and If 1t is not ae.
cepted, he will have Justice, ii ne has to
carry the case to the highest court in
the land. The subtreasufer transmitted
Mr.. Sherwood's letter to the secretary,
with the other correspondence in the
case, and it was to-day sent to- the COM
missioner of the general land Office. MIR.
Sparks, upon reading it this afternoon,
stated that he upheld and supported his
subordinate in every particular

No record has to-day,
So long ago expired its grief and glory,
There fiourished far away.
In broad realm, whose beauty passed al

Wherein the dwellers lived in peace and pleas
ure,
And never any died.
Disease and pain, and death. those stern ma
rauders,
Which mar our worlds fair face,
Never oncroached upon the pleasant borders
OF that bright dwelling place.
No fear of parting and no dread of dying
Could ever enter there
No mourning for the lost, anguished crying
Made any face less fair.
And graves rose side by side;
Within, the jewellers laughed at his endeavor.
And never any died.

o bliss to dwell theroinl
To live in the sweet light OF loving faces
And fear no grave between.
To fear no aeath-damps gathering cold and
colder
Disputing LIES warm truth.
To live on never loneler nor older
Radiant in deathless youth.
And. hurrying from the worlds remotest quar-
tiers,
A tide OF pilgrims flowed,
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To find that blest abode.
Where never death should come between and
Them, from their loved apart;
Where they might work and win and live for
ever,
Still holding heart to heart.
And SO they lived in happiness and pleasure
And grew in power and pride,
And did great deeds, and laid up stores of
treasure,
And never any died.
And many years rolled on and saw them
striving
With undated breath,
And other years still found and left them living
And gave no hope OF death.
Yet, lest a hopeless soul whom angels pity,
Should crave n boon like this
Mark how the jewellers in this wonderous city
Grew weary of their bliss.
One and another who had been concealing
The pain of LIES long thrall,
Forsook their pleasant places and came
stealing
Outside the city WALL
Craving with wish that brookei no moro de-

So long had it been crossed.
The blest possibility OF dying,
The treasure they had lost.
Daily the current of rest-seeking mortals
Swelled TO broader tide,
Till none were left within the city's portals,
And groves green outside.
Would ii be worth the having and the giving
This boon of endless breath?
Oh for the WEAKNESS that comes from living ;
There is no cure but death.
Ours were indeed fate deserving pity
Were that sweet rest denied
And few methinks would care to find the
city,
Where never any died.

The True Model Wife.

To be the loved and honored queen
of happy home, is a destiny which
calls for high womanly attributes and
attachments.
The model wife understands fully the
duties and obligations devolvng upon
her. She is not doll, to be petted
and caressed only, but truly a help
meet to tho husband who has chosen
her from all the world to make him
happy.
Her affection is not based upon the
amount of Injuries with which he is
able to surround and fill her life. She
is free from selfish extravaganza in
whatever station she may be placed,
and capable of self-denial wnen neces-
sary, even to the extent of wearing her
last seasons hat or bonnet-incredible
as this may seem.
The model wife is not given to fault
finding and scolding, and she never
says Il told you So" She is true
housekeeper, and by the exercise of
order and w0manly taste makes of her
dwelling a very beautiful house, an
ideal resting place for the bread winner
of her family, of whose peaceful COM
fort he thinks with longing and antici-
patton through the busy and often
times trying days She does not clamor
for the right of suffrage, nor neglect
he; family while searching for mission,
realizing that the inalienable right al
ready is here-that of making home
happy, and high and noble mission
is involved in so ordering her home
life as to influence each member of the
family toward a higher and better
plan OF existence.
She is an intelligent companion, and
has sincere and sympathetic apprecia-
ton of her husbands life, of his joys,
hopes, aims, and sorrows. She is thor
oughly versed in the different branches
of household lore. She never places
before her husband sour, heavy bread,
soggy potatoes, tough, burned steak,
and--most objectionable of aIl--muddy,
overlooked coffee, under the plea that
"the cook has left" She knows that a
mans health and happiness depend in
q great measure upon the manner In
which his home is kept, and she en-.

The Future Range Country.

South America is the coming range
country, says the Stock Growers
Journal, and is destined to cut no
small figure in supplying the world
with meats. The grazing capacity of
Brazil, the Argentine Republic, and
other South American States is prac-
tically unlimited, and the only reason
that more meats have not been shipped
from those countries is because they
have not so far been in possession of
class of cattle that would produce meat
that could compete in foreign markets
with the juicy products of other meat
producing sections. But this evil is
likely to be remedied as rapidly as
money and blood can create better ami
mails, for the sharp-eyed Yankee and
the Englishman with plethoric pocket
book have their eyes on the broad
grazing grounds of this Southern con-
tinent, and soon tAere will be such an
expectation of improved bulls to that
country as never was known before in
any country, and the Southern scrubs
will rapidly disappear and their places
be taken by better beef-producing ami
mails. Then will the improved methods
of marketing dressed meats be put into
operation in the large seaport towns on
heavy scales, and South America will
become famous as a source of supply
for provisions. We have no reason to
suppose that the grasses in those coun-
tries will not make as fine a quality of
beef as the grasses of any other coun-
try in the world, and when once good
breed Of cattle has taken the place of
the inferior cattle now grazing there,
we shall see good meats in abundance
shipped from Buenos Ayres and other
convenient ports. In fact, the climate
conditions of great part of South
America are exactly such as would
produce the most nutritious grasses,
the heavy a;nfalls which cause such
luxuriant growth of grass being fol-
lowed by long seasons of sunshine,
which cures the grass so etfectually.
Ere long the pampas of South Amer
lea will he browsed by shorthorns and
Herefords, which are looked after by
Engl shmen aud Amer cans, who will
also operate large dressed-beef estab-
lishments, and help to keep up the
worlds supply of meat.

Who Wants War.

Not the honest, Woodworking citi-
zen.
Not the man of a family.
Not any man who loves his home.
Not any man who loves his wife.
Not any man whose mother is the
world to him.
Not any man who sees his future hap
piness in his intended bride.
Not any pure, honest, loving woman.
Not any mother. wife, sister or sweet
heart.
Oh, mol Woman's happiness depends
on peace.
Who wants war?
Not any man who has ever been
through a war, and faced all its perils
and horrors.
No matter how brave he was, he has
had his fill. The Drawer he was, the
more willing he is now to enjoy the
beauties of peace.
\ one of the tried heroes of the late
civil conflict, wore they the blue or the
gray, care to pass through the same
bitter experience again.
Who want war?
Men who have lost their regulations.
Men who are anxious to make repu-
tations at the cost of human life.
Men who have no homes, and no re-
spect for the peaceful homes of others.
Men who have no famil es, or if they
have, do not provide for them, or even
treat them with respect.
Adventures and thieves.
Gamblers and blacklegs.
Bullies and towards; all these want
war.
And why?
Because they well know that if war
is once declared the honest citizen will
be forced to leave the plow, the work
shop, the desk, go to the front, and
face death, while they, the thieves,
bullies, gamblers, and Adventures of
oil kinds, will stay behind and prey on
the brave citizens home, or, if they go
to the 'front.' it will be as hangers on in
camp, to crawl like snakes on the battle
field in the dead of the night and rob
their own dead.
For this they want war..-Erchange.
