Honest old Roman.

Charley Foster tells good story about
the Old Roman. He says: II think ex-
Senator Thurman is as honest as the day
is long. and was never insincere but once.
That was when he joined with the Green
hackers and opposed specie resumption.
| remember he was in the habit Of
making speeches and asking his auditors
if they had any gold to resume specie
payment He would ask any man
in the crowd to hold up his hand
II he had a piece Of gold in his
pocket One time when he spoke at
Bellefontaine / believe, | asked a manu-
featuring firm TO pay off their hands in
gold When tBeex Senator answered his
stereotyped question, There is nobody
here ready to resume specie payment, be-
cause there is not a single man that has
any gold in his pockets, 800 hands went
up promptly. 1t is q very curious thing
about the Democrats. They we're accus-
ing Judge Thurman Of being a traitor
just two weeks before he was nominated.
He is simple and frank in his ways, and
knows nothing about Doodle campaigns
and the devious methods his party pur
sue to win; hence he joined heartily in
the prosecution of the tally sheet for

A Bank Cashier Suggests That lie Is a
Fraud and His Baby Cries.
He had shaved of his moustache yes
terday morning in a freak Of boyishness
or desire probably to get rid Of the
hated gray hairs which persisted in stick
ing themselves right under his nose. AT
10 o'clock he went to the bank where his
account was kept and with confidence
which was entirely devoid Of any recol-
lection Of his changed appearance he
presented a properly endorsed check.
The next moment his breath followed his
moustache for the cashier had told him
that he did not know him. The bare
Tipped applicant protested expostulated
and asseverated, finally swearing to
his identity; but it was of no use.
The cashier wiped his spectacles several
times, looked and looked again, only to
become more and more and memorable.
Finally getting weary of the i'm
portunities, the cashier suggested that
it might be his duty to call in an
officer.
The man without moustache retired
and his employer got the check cashed
ten minutes later His troubles did not
end at the bank. Last evening as he
went home considerably abashed. his
neighbors looked askance at him; his
dear little baby cried as he grinned ovei
the cradle, while his Disguised wife has
not said n word to him up to this writ
ing. This morning he was wondering
how long it would take to raise another
