II is amusing to read the principal
arguments made by the Republican;
against the Democrats. The Repub'
lican argument is illustrated in their
cartoon paper, the Judge. The car
toon represents the Democratic party
as surrendering to John Bull, and
hauling down the Stars and Stripe;
in order to replace it with foreign
flag. The same idea is published in
the Republican papers and charged
by their orators. In other words, the
Republicans accuse the Democrats Of
trying to ruin the country they live
in, the country they belong to, and
the country where they expect to re-
main their lives, and just merely to
benefit strangers they have never seen
Let us examine the matter little
In 1884 we find that Grover Cleve'
land, the Democratic candidate for
President, received 1911 OPT votes
out of 10,04S,061 votes cast, or 1887
per cent. The Republican candidate
received 4 ,S4S,3 1874 votes. At the cleo.
ton next November we believe that
Cleveland will receive over five mil
lion votes, being at least one-half the
total vote. Now these five million
men are American citizens, and they
are Just as anxious to be successful in
their business affairs, as are the Re.
publicans. The Cleveland men are
as much interested in the welfare OF
the country as are their opponents, be-
cause they desire the comforts and
necessaries of life, just as much as the
Republicans do. The more prosper
Gus the country in general, the better
will be the condition of the Democrats.
Yet, in face of these facts, the Repub.
licans are idiotic enough to charge
these millions of Cleveland men with
trying to destroy their own happiness,
to injure their own families, and to
try and make the condition of their
children burdonsome and oppressive,
and just merely to enrich few for
eign manufacturers that they never
saw or even, with few exceptions,
heard their names.
Such an argument only reflects dis
paragingly on the paper or orator
that makes it. 1t shows the writer
or orator to be either blind partisan,
a fool or a knave.
The Democrats are as much con-
oerned i'm the welfare of this country
as any other body of men in it, and it
is to their interest that the country
be prosperous and business flourishing.
They have no more interest in Eu-
ropes welfare, than have the Repub-
Leans, and when the Democrats pro-
pose to lessen the tariff taxes of this
country, they do so in the belief that
it will be beneficial TO the people gener-
ally. They do not believe in raising
unnecessary taxes, and they claim it
is time that the loads of the people
be lightened.

AToUCHING SToRY.--Congressman
Blackburn, of Kentucky, is quoted
as telling this story -Four days
before I went to the front with my
regiment we had a little girl baby.
She is now grown, and you always
see her with me at my social gather
ings. Well, in our army, the fur
loughs came very rarely. When we
got into line there was no great
chance for a man to get home.
1t was about three years after
ward that a few of US were n night
going down the Mississippi on a riv-
er steamer. Ihad been sick and was
returning to my comand, but pretty
well broken up even then. AS for
money, we did not have any. The
night was hot, and l lay down on
deck. my throat almost parched with
thirst. Pretty soon a little girl came
along with a big glass of lemonade.
| tell you it looked good to me.
She saw me eyeing.it, stopped a
minute, looked doubtfully at me and
finally came to my side. You look
as If you wanted something ourlnh,
she said and offered me the glass.
1t wasn't quite the square thing to
do, but | took it and handed it back
to her empty. 1t was like nectar to
me. Then | thanked the little crea-
ture and sent her away. Soon after,
lust like every child: she came back,
leading her mother to see the poor
soldier. 1t was my wife, and the
little girl was the baby whom | had
last seen just born. You can imag-
inc the reunion. They were with
my brothers. family, and happened
to be going down the river. That
was the only time during the four
years fighting that l saw my wife
and baby ; and, under these circum-
stances, what man would ever for

went against me to keep her up, but it
was life and death to me, and we were
headed home. The pace was plainly much
slower, though.
Cant you work her up?" he said, with
a fierce, impatient glance.
"Don't you see the mares dead fagged?"
I answered.
He put his head out and called:
"Ride ahead, Chisel. The mares play
ing out. She'll follow better.
He came up and went by. "Straight

answered.
He rode on. We followed. The mare
went slower and slower. I knew the end

"Whip her." he said. I looked him in
the face. "Do you think I'm q brute?"
He caught up the whip and struck her
sharply. She leaped out wildly and went
on faster, gasping, now, every breath.

must come to that at last; it might as well
come now.
"If you strike her again." I said,
opp He struck her quick and sharp.
I threw down the reins. "You may drive
yourself"
He threw down the whip. His hand
leaped up to his breast. His face was
deadly white. A CLEAN Of devilish hate
glared out Of his keen gray eyes.
"Take them up" he said, through his
teeth.
He drew out lis hand. I saw the bright
steel glitter from the sheath.
Then I leaped upon him. I grasped the
hand that held the knife, pressed his head
back with my left, with all my might. l
turned the point in toward him and
pricked it sharply into his breast.

hand. l tore the knife away, flung it
away, behind. Then we grappled close.
The mare swerved out one side; the
wagon tipped on a stone. We rolled out
locked together, fell heavily on the
ground. He was underneath, l upon him.
He was stunned one instant, l got my
hand in his breast and drew his pistol out.

He was no coward at least. He glared

fence and went off. I felt that I could
kill him; but 1 wanted no towards ad-
vantage. I ground his head into the
sand; l gripped my hand in his collar, and
tore out the spotless shirt front. I wanted
to soil, tear, smash, blacken, bruise, dis
figure his fine, smooth dress. his hateful,
lying face, his glossy hair and beard.
He twined his arms round my neck,
and choked me down. got my hand on
his face, and pressed it into the ground
till he loosened his hold. I struck at his
glittering mouth; he caught my hand in
his teeth and bit it through. I clutched
my fingers in his silky beard, beat his
head on the ground with all my might,
tore and pounded him I knew not how.
I heard the tramp Of a horse close by,
felt myself grasped behind, lifted and
thrown down heavily. I was under now,
and there were two Of them!
I heard the rush Of a dozen tramping
hoofs: saw cleaning lanterns flash; heard
shouts and curses and oaths and q pistols
report.
Then I was lying looking into loving
eyes, my head upon Nell's breast.

HOW TO ACT IN EMERGENCIES.

If an Individual is endowed with
common sense and can exercise self
control when it is necessary, a slight
knowledge of physiology will enable
him to act in an emergency.
A boy is brought home with q Sc
we're cut on the arm. The blood
spurts out of the wound, showing
plainly that an artery has been sew
cred. 1t is fortunate if a member OF
the family can come forward and
bind two pieces of cloth tightly
around the limb directly above and
below the wound, the blood will
cease to flow, and even ifthere should
be unavoidable delay in the arrival
of a doctor, he will be able to save
a life that would certainly have been
sacrificed if the prompt treatment
mentioned had not been resorted to.
A whole family were thrown into
a state of excitement by the young
est child rushing into the house
and declaring that q big snake had
''bited" him. The mother swoOned,
the father paced the floor frantically,
while the rest of the family embraced
the child and cried over him until,
between the wound and the excite
ment, the little fellow came near
being thrown. into commissions. A
sensible neighbor, hearing the excite
ment, came into the room, and TAX
ing the child into her arms, MUIR

then turning to a member of the
family she asked for carbonate of
soda. Moistening a small portion OF
the soda with water, she applied it
to the wound ; when the soda be-
came dry she moistened it again;
and at the expiration of an hour was
overjoyed to see upon the white sur
face of the application unmistakable
evidence of snake virus.
Rusty nails make ugly wounds,
which, if not attended to at once,
may cause great suffering, perhaps

GIRLS WRONGS,

The rights and wrongs of boys
And how they never have chance
To make enough of noise.
If those same boys were in my place

And had to make a noise by rule,
wonder what they'd say.
I've very little fault to find
With common jolly boys;
Their games are really extra fine,
And I admire their noise.
But they are very ignorant
If they don't understand
That girls have wrongs as we'll as boys,
And snubs on every hand.

WOMEN WHO NEVER REST
Many women never rest. They
seem not to understand what rest
real rest-means. To throw ones
self down with a newspaper or a book
is not rest; it is only a change of &C.
cupation. TO sit down and keep the
fingers flying over some sort of fan
cy work, as if one was pursued by a
demon of unrest, is certainly not rest.
But to lie at full length upon a hard
surface, arms extended at the sides,
head back, with no pillow, eyes
all cares and worries dis
missed-this is rest !; this will smooth
away wrinkles in face and in temper;
this will give an air of repose to the
tired, anxious, nervous woman; this
will take away many an ache and
straighten out rounded shoulders and
Grained necks.

FOUR GEORGIA BOYS.

These four started, a few years ago,
selling newspapers. They made ten
cents apiece the first morning they
went to work, and for two winters
thereafter they went barefooted,
through the snow and sleet in the
freezing dawn, on their morning
rounds. From the very first they
saved a certain percentage Of their
earnings, which they wisely invested
in Atlanta real estate. The oldest
of them is now eighteen years of age,
and the youngest twelve. They have
supported an INVALID father and their
mother all the time, and now have
property worth considerably over
5 1000, houses from which the rent is
500 per month, and 5000 stock in a
building and loan association. They
have educated themselves, the mean
while, remaining from school this
year in order that they might work
the harder and build a home for their
parents that is to have a front parlor
and a bay-WindoW in it. These little
fellows have been carriers, newsboys,
errandboys, and apprentices about
the Constitution Office, and one of
them is now assistant mailing-clerk.
Their net savings from their sales
and salaries, exclusive of their rents,
have been $50 per week for this year.
Next year they can do better, and
by the time the oldest of the brothers
is of age they ought to have a COM
Portable little fortune. What these
boys have done other boys can do.
The whole secret is steadiness, sobri-
ETY., industry, and economy. There
are few lessons more important for
boys than that the smallest income
will make a man Independent, If ne
will only live inside Of it and COM
pound his surplus. If these boys
will only keep clearly hearts, and
genial souls, and broad, hearty inn
pulses, they will not only be rich, but
useful men.-[Atlanta Constitution.
