How the Tables were Turned.

During the war about twenty con!ed-
crate prisoners were at Fort McHcnry,
stored away in fodder loft under
guard. One morning Captain Ned
Bridges was playing an innocent game
of cards when the sick call was sounded
the signal for siling soldiers to report
at the surgeons Office and be examined.
"Lieutenant," said Captain Bridges,
turning to young soldier, "answer
sick call for me and let us finish this
game. Go down there and personate
me, and tell the doctor you want anoth-
er box of his liver pills"
The obliging lieutenant marched out
and proceeded with other soldiers, un-
der escort Of the guards. to the sur
geon's office. Whom the name Of Cap

"Doctor," he began, "them pills you
gave me helped me up considerably, but
want another box; | think another
box will fix me up all right
Didn't them pills cure your" asked
the doctor abruptly, looking over his
spcctacles at the bogus Bridges.
"No, but another box will fix me,
think"
"Well, WELL" said the doctor half to
himself, "I'll have to change the treat
ment on you"
Thereupon he picked up graduating
glass, and from various bottles mixed
the most internal mess that mortal eyer
saw.
The lieutenant shuddered.
When the villainous compound was
made up the doctor stirred it vigorous
ly and viciously, and handing it out
said:
"Drink that"
The lieutenant took hold OF the glass.
Cold chills ran up and down his spine.
Doctor" he stammered, cd I'd er
heap rather take the pills"
"Drihk it," stormed the doctor, and
In the excitement the medicine went
down the lieutenant's throat.
When the lieutenant returned to the
fodder loft he was very glun. When
the game Of cards grew monotonous
Captain Bridges turned and asked:
Lieutenant, git them pills?"
"Naw!'
"Well, said the captain, "you needn't
be so snappish about 1t. What did the
doctor say?'
HE said he was going TO change the
treatment on you, and If you don't git
we'll it amt my fault, for I've taken the

Without word the Kaiser took out

hammer fall and arrest II before II could
touch the watch.
Some OF the kings suite who stood by

Krupp urged him to make the trial, and
at last, by the command OF his master,
Fritz "let fy."
Down came the immense tool with
all its force and was checked, as IL II had

Emperor stayed his hand, saying: "Ths

all the workmen around, and ran tho

Herr Krupp took out his purse, added

blushing Fritz, whispering as he did SO,

INDEPENDENT TICKETS.

Thus far during the campaign the voters
OF this county have had three "indepen-
dent" tickets placed before them. The
Inter Mountain published two and The
MINER one. Each was made up by irre-
sponsible parties and neither had the en-
dorsement of q convention nor even the
backing that would entitle it to a
moments consideration. AS far as we can
learn not one of them was gotten up with
the advice or consent of the parties placed
upon them as candidates and all three are
as dead as the Capulets. Independent
tickets are humbugs and in campaign
where vital issues are at stake they are
unmitigated nuisances. inasmuch as they
too frequently not only place candidates
upon the regular tickets OF both parties
but others in false light before the public
and provoke unfavorable or ill-natured
comment.
Concerning the last one which appeared
we are authorized to state that the names
of the regular Democratic candidates which
appeared upon it were placed there with
out their knowledge and consent, and we
believe the same may be truly Said OF the
Republican candidates. Inquiry also de-
7elops the fact that the names OF the other
gentlemen upon it were used without their
being consulted in the matter. Hence this
fifth ticket may properly be termed bas'
tard OF the first water, having neither known
sire nor dam, and as such it will be laid
away with the two ill-begotten abortions
which preceded it, in sleep that knows
no awakening.
