THE REPORT COURTEOUS.

Judge Thurman and Mr.. Conkiing
were great friends. They used to 90
up to the Hot Springs in Virginia for
their rheumatism when both were in
the Senate and enjoy themselves
hugely. Judge Thurman would
often say "Conkling is mighty good
comp Any when he chooses" a scene
once occurred between them in the
Senate that is perhaps the most
graphic and graceful instance of the
retort courteous on record. 1t isn't
a new story by any means, but it is a
first rate story. Mr.. Conkling was
one day making a speech, during
which he repeatedly turned to Judge
Thurman and addressed remarks 10
him. They were not always Of a
gratifying nature and Judge Thur
man, who is peppery old gentleman,
at last lost his temper.
Does the Senator from New
York" he roared, expect me to
answer him every time he turns to
,ne?"
For a moment Mr.. Conkling hesi-
tated and everybody expected a
terrific explosion. Then with an air
Of exquisite courtesy, he replied:
"When l speak of the law l turn
to the Senator from Ohio as the
Mussulman turns toward Mecca.
l turn to him as I do to English
common law as the worlds most
copious fountain Of human jurispru
dence.'
The Democrats gave a rousing
cheer. and Judge Thurman walked
over on the Republican side and
shook hands with Conkling.-

the Governments policy, it may be,
but it is no reason why the agitation
of a Presidential year should affect
the great producing and distributing
interests of the country unfavOrably.
The ground does not produce any
less on account of a Presidential
election, and therefore there is no
real reason why the grocery trade in
general should be any poorer in a
Presi idential year than in any other
year.
The weather has been somewhat
unfavorable thus far in many sections
this season, and this may have effected
trade somewhat; and also when
people al get talking one way they
sometimes sit down and do nothing
when they ought to be up and string.
We therefore say to our readers {:
Don't Join the chorus Of the do no h
ings, that times are dulP' and that
it is ''due to the Presidential electIOni"
Get up earlier, work harder and
later than usual, then you will have
the satisfaction of finding at the end
of the year that Presidential po itics
have not injured YOUR business.

THE BATHERS.
Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.

Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.
One summer day, not may years gone by,
While sOjourning amid romatic hills
And verdant wales, a jolly friend and l
Were strolling long the limpid ,
shaded rills,
Whose waters were SO clear that pebbles
bright
Shown on the bottom even by moonlight.
There was pool, on, in the wildwood 8
shade
Big as a room, scouped from the stub
born bank,
The bending stream with sudden turn
had made,
Where one could swim and all the
Dryads drank;
Twas clear as any polished mirror S face
And guarded by two stately, spread
ing trees
Whose many roots, with moss, did in
terlace
The soil about their massive trunks
and knees;
But all around. the many a nymphean
grOt
And matted growth, obscured the
charming spot.
When bout three rods above this sylvan
bath,
(Now please remember that to this
we III swear)
We heard the ripple of a smother ed
laugh,
(On oath we knew not living soul was
there)
And, quickly pressing the low boughs
aside,
We saw the trees and pool, and therein
standing,
IT, AI.1 - Il f0l
tide,
Two lovely girls; upon the moss grown
landing
Their dainty frocks, edged underwear
and hose,
Two pairs of slippers and their
.aunty hats
Lay in bea utiful heaps. I'll not expose
The autics of these sportive acrObats.
No fairer vision mortal e'er beheld
We knew twas wrong and it was
mean to look;
For they were innocent and pure as we'll,
AS wOmankind can be. One view we
took
One lingering, sweet, infatuating glance,
And for the moment were in such a
trsnse
We could but worship at the lovely
shrives;
But, twas just moment, then
stealthily
We crept away, and till they see these
lines,
Which they will never do through
him or me,
They'll never know that we were stand
ing there,
And they'd enraptured an aesthetic
pair.

WARNING TO YOUNG MEN.

VIM. A Potts, the murderer Of
Pau Lincke, was not hung yesterday.
The telegrams announce that this
second effort to take his own life by
drinking poison was successful and
that he died at II o'clock Monday
night, about twelve hours before the
time fixed for his execution. We
are told that the i inner Of his death
was q severe disappointment to
many who feel that the law has not
been avenged. His crime was a
most atrocious one-that Of killing
his henefactor, whom we knew to be
a kind, big hearted man, and killing
him when he was asleep with one Of
his little ones in his arms. Aud
now to this horrible stain upon his
soul has been added the sin Of suicide
and he goes into the presence Of the
Great Judge with his own blood and
that OF his fellow upon his head.
The picture is a sad one, indeed,
and awakens within US train Of
reflection that runs back to the
cause Of the -blooded deed.
What was it? Primarily jealously,
but it was strong drink that chilled
the mind and heart to the instincts
Of gratitude and nerved the arm to
strike the cowardly death dealing
blow. 1t is not our purpose to offer
an excuse for such dastardly
crime, but rather TO hold up the life
and fate Of young Potts as warming
to the young men Of our land. and
especially TO those who have ac-
quired or are acquiring the habit
OF drinking spirituous liqors, Some
may be ready to answer: "Such
deeds and such a fate belong alone
to the depraved and ignorant and
therefore I can drink without such
fear as these" Are you from q
respectable family? So was Potts.
Have you bright intellect? SO
had Potts. Have you had the op-
portunity Of developing your natural
talent by education? SO had Potts.
And yet, with all his advantages,
his body to day fills the grave of a
murderer and suicide; whereas, but
for his drink habit, he might be
alive and an honor to his family and
his COMMUNICATIONS.

that has ever been on the line. The
old rivalry in health and pleasure
between the sea and sound as a place
of residence still exists, and will con-
tinue to exist SO long as both are
best. One is essential to the other
and neither would be complete with
out the other. The Sound is the
market place and place of ingress
and egress. It is nearer home and
perhaps a little cheaper and more
convenient. The sea is attractive
for drives, grandeur and contempIa-
ton, and perhaps little healthier
For families and children we would
prefer the sea, otherwise the sound.
To raise healthy, robust, happy
and hearty child, with enlarged
ideas and far-reaching vision we
would take them to the sea side, take
off his shoes, put on him a loose
fitting dress, put bell around his
neck and drive it up at meals and at
night and encourage a fondness for
gathering shells and running ''fd-
dlers' and throw physics to the
dogs" ."-Economist.

re Honestly and Frankly Confirms a Statement

The Rev. B. Mills is Presbyterian clergyman
and Doctor Of Divinity, whose station is at
Meade Centre, Kan. He is an earnest preacher,
faithful pastor and man who has the courage
OF his convictions. Some time since he made a
statement which appeared in the public prints,
and which, as all outspoken statements do. oe-
casioned much comment. Many letters were
addressed to him upon the subject, To one Of
which Rev. Dr. Mills replied:
"Your favor with the inclosed slip is at hand
The facts are these. My wife was an invalid for
several years and, on our physicians recommen-
dalton, used certain preparation with very
great benefit. Ireceiveda letter inquiring as to

Another Dying European King
Luis l,
KING OF PORTUGAL.

The student of contemporary history
cannot fail to overlook impending
changes in Holland and Portugal, as
we'll as In Germany, which will result
from the probably early demise of the
sovereigns of those countries. The
death of William III, king of the Meth
erlands, may be heard of any day, and
has been expected long. Now news is
received that King Luis OF Portugal has
been failing In health for some time. He
finds it impossible to attend to the bust
ness Of the state and has resolved to
delegate to Prince Carlos, the heir ap-
parent. the signing of state documents
and the power Of representation Of the
king on occasions when the presence OF
his majesty is required.
King Luis l, is in the prime OF his
years. He was born October 81, 1898,
the son of the late Queen Maria III. and
the late Prince Ferdinand Of Saxe-Co-
burg. His royal mother was the first
sovereign Of the line of BraganZa to
break through the custom, which had
prevailed for TWO centuries of keeping
up blood alliances with the reigning
house Of Spain, Her union with Prince
Ferdinand resulted In the beginning OF
the house Of Brsganza- Coburg, the first
sovereign Of which was her son, Pedro
V, at whose death, in 1861, Luis sue
ceeded to the throne. The young king
took to wife Pia, the youngest daughter
OF King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy.
They were married on October 6, 1862,
when the bridegroom was twenty-four
years old and the bride, only fifteen
Queen Pia has the reputation OF being
the best dressed woman In Europe.
She end her royal mate are the parents
Of two sons, the elder Of whom Prince
Carlos, duke Of Braganza, born in 1863,
Is cultivated man who will ably relieve
his sick father of the irksome duties
which even kings have to perform.
Prince Carlos, who will be king OF
Portugal before long, married q daugh-
ter OF the Comte de Paris, the most for
midsble OF pretenders to monarohical
rule over France.
