Mr. Bennett took up slip of paper and
looked at it for moment. Then he said:
$50 you don't think this writer ought to be
allowed to put his stuff in print?"
No." responded De Nyse, frankly l
do not. 1t is quite evident that this partic-
ular writer is - fool"
Quite possible" said MIR. Bennett, very
quietly. 81 wrote those editorials my
self"
De Nyse fell back in his chair with a
grasp. His hair fairly stood on end. He
started to make some sort of an explanation,
but Bennett cut him short
None of that" exclaimed the proprie-
tor of the Herald; ''none of that. l thought
those editorials were pretty good; but, as
they do not seem to impress other people in
the same light. shall never write another.
Good day."
Mr.. De Nyse returned to his post consid-
erably saddened. but he never had any
further editorials from Mr.. Bennett.

BRANDY AND BEER.
Some Tall Stories of Their Effect ON
the Human Constitution.

tThere goes confirmed brandy drink
er," said one of the bartenders at the
Arcade yesterday. He'll kill himself in
less than two years"
The man referred to had just absorbed
a large dose of brandy with the remark
that he could not eat breakfast without the
LIQUOR. His face had already begun to as
sumo purple color, and it was evident at
first sight that he was hard drinker.
Il used to be in Chicago" continued
the man in spotless raiment. land the
proprietor of the place in which l worked
was very fond of brandy. He used to drink
it before breakfast, after dinner-in
fact all the time told him tBat 1t would
ruin his health, but he wouldn't believe it.
Finally l showed him by ocular proof that
| was right. l took two jars and placed a
piece of meat in each. filled one OF them
with whisky, and the other with brandy,
which was taken from his own private bot
tie. put the two jars away, and at the
end of two weeks showed them to him.
The meat in the jar containing the brandy
was perforated with holes, which the liquor
had eaten away, while the meat in the
whisky Jar was in the same condition as
when it was put in. There, said [, you
can see what effect brandy has upon your
stomach. Drink after your meals, but
never take it on an empty stomach The
proprietor tumbled, and from that day to
this has never touched drop of brandy"
There is another thing, too" remarked
one of the bystanders, (which shows some
thing about the ingredients used in making
poor beer. You will find that in ever beer
joint in Omaha the man who draws the beer
has holes in his shoes. You see, they put a
lot of tannin in cheap beer. Tannin is the
same stuff they use in preparing hides, and
it eats away leather like so much nitric acid.
1t probably does the same thing to the lin
ing of mans stomach. However, FL take
chances" concluded he, as he raised glass
of the foaming beverage to his lips.
''Ill tell you, gentlemen" said the bar
tender putting the bottles back in their
proper places, THAT absinthe drinkers are
getting to be almost as common in this
country as they are in France. I've got
several customers who drink it every day.
1 suppose that it is probably the worst drink
a man could take, as it acts directly upon
the brain. The people of Omaha"
At this point the proprietor came in and
stopped the bartender's discourse, on the
ground that his talk had atendency to spoil
business

Senatorial Convention.

Speclal 10 Cne GlODe.
CANNON FALLS, July 1S.-The call has
been issued for the Republican senatorial
committee from the Twenty-frst senatorial
district to meet at Hader on Thursday,
July %, to set the time for holding the con-
ventiOn. The convention will put in NOM
nation one candidate for state senator and
two for representatives. For senator Hon.

incumbent; DR.. Charles Hill. of Pine
Island; Hon. A. K. Finseth, of Kenyon.

will contest. Hon. E. Y. Garfield, of
Zumbrota, has withdrawn from the con-
test. The fight promises to be an interest
ing one as the Cannon Falls delegation,
supporting DIR. Conley, will push him es-
pecially on the grounds that Cannon Falls
has not for long time had representative
or senator. The other towns will claim the
same thing, and there is likely to be some
lusty kicking on the part of the defeated
candidates to the advantage of the Demo-
Gratis. There are good number of sore
heads south of this place who feel pretty
mean because G. n. Lieu was defeated as
Republican candidate for county auditor,
and they seem liable to kick over the traces
OF the Republican camp at the least provo
cation.

Once during the career of young DE Nyse
he was made managing editor Of the Tele
gram, and he was informed by Mr.. Bennett
that the editorials for the paper would be
furnished from day to day by Mr.. Levein,
who occupied position on the Herald staff.
These editorials used to come in written in
a number of different hands, and marked
must by Levein. De Nyse became dis
satisfied with them, and imagined that they
were hurting the paper very much. So one
day he called on the proprietor. Said he:

managing editor of the Telegram, and l am

A DAUGHTER OF BURNS.
Death of Helen Armstrong, Who's
Mother Was Burns, Sweetheart.

mother w as EsurMS' sweetheart.
Pail Mall Gazette, June 10.
1t will surprise many of your readers to
learn that there died at Motfat. on the 18th
o. last month, veritable, though illegiti-
mate, daughter of the poet Burns. The old
lady i'll question, Helen Armstrong by
name, who was ninety-seven OF ninety-eight
years of age, resided for many years in
Mohat, in the same little back street in
which she was born somewhere about the
year 17SS. The fact of her relationship to
burns was well known in Moffat and the
nelghborhood. Her mother, Nelly Hyslop
was beauty in her day, and Burns was ror
some time a devoted admirer of hers.
Helen is said to have borne strong resem-
blance to Burns in her earlier days, and in
deed the likeness to the portraits of
Burns was traceable to the last in
the contour of the face and in
the dark, bright eyes. dimmed as they were
by age and sickness. Nor was the likeness
confined to physical points; in her mental
powers Helen showed strain of the poetic
blood. A few years ago her conversational
powers and her quickness of repartee were
most amusing and attractive. Even a few
months since, when we'll enough to talk,
her conversation was highly interesting.
AhOiOH D lllO3 do Id DIS L Call learn, was not
very eventful one. She went to service
at very early age-seyen, 1 think. She
belonged to that genus of Scotch servants,
still eXtant though rather rare, who remain
years in one place and identify their EN-
ployers interests with their own. She was
thirty years in one situation at the Buc-
cleuch Arms Inn at ThornbiIl, with fam
lily named Glendinning. | believe she lived
there until all the family had died out.
Helen told me she once saw Sir Walter
Scott at the old inn on his way to visit the
duke at Drumlanrig. He came into the
kitchen and shook hands with the cook in
his bright and genial way, and stepping up
to the fire, where hung huge pot of skinny
potatoes, he lifted up the lid, took out a
potato and proceeded leisurely to eat it
without the aid of knife or fork. The cook,
who was very proud of her kitchen. had all
her metal ware brightly Furnished. and Sir
Walter, looking round on it, remarked:
''Eh. Lucky, We haze a BRIGHT and shining
like siller." To which Lucky replied:
''Ah, Sir Walter; but it's no. a. gould that
glitters." Helen thought that was very
sharp answer, and believed Sir Walter
thought so, too, as he subsequently related
it at dinner ''amang the gentry"
The old lady lived entirely alone, her hus-
band having been dead for many years, and
she had no family. 1t is pleasing to know
that her last days were relieved and bright
ened by the kindness of friends in Moffat,
who had great respect and liking for old
Helen.
