blows straight from the shoulder and

owing to The lateneSs of the hour. His
remarks were III STAINS happiest vein

ending for the successful days dOings.
Altogether the demonstration and
rally was magnificent success and
Dickinson county did herself proud in
turning out so generously. The en-
thusiasm that made the meetings res
Onant with cheers and that called forth
shouts that woke the echoes during the
march, proved that the. Republicans of
this county and city are all right. In
magnitude and in enthusiasm as well
as in Argument and in logic, it far
eclipSed any previous political gather
ing ever held in Abilene and the Harri-
son and Morton club may well rest
upon their laurels, content that they
have outdone all previous efforts in the
way of political demonstrations.

An Egg i'm His Hat.

A laughable incident occurred while
the train was waiting at our depot
the other day. Capt. Lingo and En-
gineer Lanler came in contact with a
very conspicuous colored individual
of our community, and, after some
conversation, proposed, for a wager,
to play the game of "hiding the egg, -
The joke lies in putting the egg in the
victims hat, and the hat on his head,
and then making a bet with a sup
posed outside party that the stran-
ger cannot find the aforesaid egg.
Capt. Lingo, with the innocent G.
Washington, the negro, disappears
behind the coach, and the ancient ed
ition of the delectable hen-fruit is
snugly laid away in the crown of G..
Washington's hat, and he walks
forth to be searched for the hidden
treasure" says the Wrightville. (Ga.)
Headlight. After a careful and ap-
parently dilligent search of the
darky's old clothes Lanler raises his
hand and, coming down on the egg
mans head with: George, logged
if l can find it'll" jumped on his en-
gine and pulled out for Tennille. In
agine the darky's appearance and feel
ings with the output of that egg
trickling down the sides of his face,
and with his attempts to preserve
his imaginary dignity, with a per-
fume rivaling in distinctness the best
efforts of a glue factory.

A Hotel Clerks Ruse.

A guest at an uptown hotel was
last evening telling in an interesting
way of the lavish manner in which
people spend money at Florida sum-
mer resorts, particularly at Jackson
vile. The outbreak of yellow fever
there and it's probable ba, effect up
on winter-tourist business, was what
led to the subject. The Hebrews in
particular, be said, were very liberal,
and as an instance of this he told OF
one incident which is worth repeating:
At one of the most fashionable hotels
a gentleman of that race appeared
and said that he wished to engage
rooms for himself and wife. He was
shown over the house, and one suite
in particular took his fancy. He
asked for the refusal of the rooms
until his wife could see them, but this
privilege the clerk would not accord
him, even for an hour. "How much
is the rent?" asked the man, and the
clerk replied: 1894 per week." "And
no refusal2" ''No, sir. !" "Well, I'll
take 'em." The bargain being made
the guests moved in and actually re-
manned eight weeks. The reader can
readily figure what the luxury cost.

Mr.. Beecher's Estate.
rom Correspondence in America.

From Correspondence in America.
Henry Ward Beecher left a COM
paratively small fortune. He had
an estate in Peekskill which cost him
about $150,OO0. He had insurance
policies which footed up something
like $4,000 or $25, 900, and in hot
haste his heirs sold his pictures and
books and all his persons belonging
endeared to his friends, at all events
by many, many years of close asso-
citation with the dear old man, and
now how does it stand. The $780,
900 place at Peekskill has literally
gone to seed. Those magnificent
fiower-beds, on which the eloquent
old man spent years of thought,
fortunes of experience, and thousands
of dollars earned by the sweat of his
imperial brow, are choked with
weeds and overrun with grasses. Al
ready the market price of the place
has fallen to $S5, 900, and l under
stand-in fact, / have seen it stated
in print-that an offer of $65, 900,
which was refused, will in all proba-
bility never again be made. And on
the heels of this, with what was curl
ously called an autobiography"
written by one of his sons and his
son-in-law, lying as dead as Mark
Twain's own books upon the shelves
of the stores. comes a rumor that
his simple will is also to be contested.

Match Him.

There is dog in Westville that has a
mania for extinguishing matches. Let
any one light o match before him and
he will spring at 1t, attempting to seize
it in his mouth and put it out. Light
one and throw it at him and he will
catch it and extinguish it. 1t makes no
difference to him whether the matches
are sulphur or parlor matches. A day
or two since a gentleman lighted and
threw towards him what is known as a
volcan match-one having about half
inch of chemical compound that cannot
be extinguished before it is consumed.
The dog seized it in his mouth, but it
did not 60 out. He then dropped it and
put his paw on 1t, finally Selling it again
in his mouth. His owner says that
many box of matches has been burned
in showing off the animals popularity.
Strange to say the dog does not seem to
become tired of the pastime. Last
Fourth of July the small boys of the
neighborhood lit fire crackers and threw
them at him. These occasionally ex-
ploded in his mouth, but apparently did
him no harm.-Hartford Times.

1t is q common idea that greater risk
is run from this cause Of disease in the
country than in towns and cities, but
there are strong reasons for doubling
that such is the case, 50 far rs any IN
healthy influence of the country itself Is
concerned. If farm house be placed
in low, swampy situation, and town
in similar locality, the dwellers ip the
oiis viii be no more liable to ma1arial
disease than the Inhabitants Of the 9TH
er.. In large dities, where the ground is
being constantly turned up for the par.
pose OF laying water and gas mains, con-
structing sewers or for amy one of the
hundred other purposes for which scon-
tinued upheaval Of the psyements goes
on, diseases of malarial origin will al
most constantly abound. Some parts of
New York city, or Of Philadelphia, for
instance, are nearly as full of malaria as
are the worst parts of Florida. There
is nothing, therefore, to be gained in
this respect by hasty return from the
seashore OF the mountains to the pent
up atmosphere of large town in which
excavations of some kind or other are at
certain seasons of the year carried on
with more than usual vigos.-Dr. VIM.

certainly was marvellous sight. In
the fartherest corner of the garden
was tree quite covered With lovely
white blossoms. It's branches were
all golden, and silver fruit hung
down from them, and underneath it
stood the little boy he had loved.
Downstairs ran the Giant in great
joy. and out into the garden: He
FASTENED across the grass, and came
near TO the child. And when he came
quite close his face grew red with
anger, and he said: "Who hath
dared to wound thee?" For on the
palms of the child's hands were the
prints of two nails, and the prints OF
two nails were on the little feet.
"Who hath dared to wound thee?"
cried the Giant; "te'l me, that may
take my big sword and slay him."
"Nayl" answered the child; ssbat
these are the wounds eff love-
who art thou?" said the Giant,
and q strange awe fell on him, and he
knelt before the little child.
And the chilli smiled on the Giant,
and said to him; "You let me play
once in your garden, to-day you
shall come with me to my garden,
which is Paradise"
And when the children ran in that
afternoon they found the Giant lying
dead under the tree, all covered with
white blossoms,-Oscar Wilde,

Old MaidhOOd.

There are many worse things than
single blessedness, and the condition of
the old maid is no less honorable to her
than is that of matrimony to her welded
sister. The old maid may, and she gen.
orally does, bear noble part in the
good work of making the world better
and happier place. There are probably
few who do not carry with them through
life the tender memory of some old
maid whose love and goodness cheered
their early years. How often is she q
ministering angel whose life is spent in
acts of unselfish devotion to those
around her? We cannot spare the old
maid. She has an important role to
play in the human comedy, and the
thing for her to do is to study 1t and
play it well. The woman who worries
because she sees old maidhood before
her is without good sense. Let her be
sure that there are thousands of wives
who only wish that they had led single
lives, and then she may find it easier to
learn of the apostle in whatsoever state
she is Herewith to be content.-North
American.

Spiders Webs.

[ read the statement in this maya
zine not long ago, about the spiders
webs that cover the fields and mead
ows on certain mornings in the Sum-
mer which was not entirely exact. 1t
is not quite true in the sense in whichit
was uttered, that these spiders webs
are more abundant on some morn
ings than on others, and that they
presage fair weather. Now the truth
is, that during the latter part of
Summer these webs are about as
abundant at one time as another;
but they are much more noticeable on
some mornings than on others; a
heavy dew brings them to view.
They are especially conspicuous after
a morning of fog, such as often fills
our deeper valleys for few hours
when Fall approaches. They then
look like little napkins spread all
over the meadows. l saw fields last
Summer, in August, when one could
step from one of these dew-napkins to
another for long distance. They
are little nets that catch the fog.
Every thread is strung with innum-
cradle fine drops, like tiny beads.
After an hour of sunshine, the webs
apparently are gone.
Most country people, find, think
they are due to nothing but the mois-
ture; others seems to think that the
spiders take them in as morning ad-
vances. But they are still there,
stretched above the grass at noon
and at sunset, as abundant as they
are at sunrise; and are then more
serviceable to the spiders becauseles
visible. The flies and insects would
avoid them in the morning, but at
midday they do not detect them as
readily. If these webs have any
significance as signs of the coming
weather, this may be the explanation:
A heavy dew occurs under a clear,
cool sky, and the night preceding
day of rain is usually dewless night.
Much dew, then, means fair weather
and a copious dew discloses the
spiders webs. 1t is the dew that is
significant, and not the webs.-Joe,
Burroughs, in ST. Nicholas.

In q Bad Fix.


One hot day recently, says the New
York Sun, a young man wearing
side light whiskers, and o long,
crooked nose, betook himself to the
classic sands of Isle de Comic with the
sole intention Of taking d plunge III
to the outstrtched arms of old Faith
er Ocean, Having deposited a 25:
cent piece with the man who is not
satisfied with the earth, but wants
to own the ocean, he received a bath

aged to hold the suit together until
he had buried himself in the surf.
Then he took a little dive, swan TN
der water for a little distance, and
when his head reached the surface
once more he found himself sur
rounded by d bevy of mermaids. He
felt something entangling his feet,
and reaching down he discovered that
oh, horrers!-that the lower part
of his suit had dissolved partnership
with the upper part. He was in a
pretty fix. Summoning d friend he
commissioned him to go after anoth-
er suit of Kentucky jeans. While
waiting for the return of the friend
the young man modestly swan out
beyond the ropes and came near be-
ing drowned.
The friend returned with the new
suit and then began a struggle with
the waves that has never before been
equaled. The young man raised a
leg in order to incase it in the new
suit. A heavy wave came along and
knocked him over. The spectators
Uttered. The girls blushed and the
action was repeated. At last, after
an hour of hard work, with the as
sistance of no less than twelve per-
sons, the young swimmer managed
to get into the new suit. The young
man was very bashful and concluded
he had enough of salt water bathing.
Once more he stood upon the classic
sands of the island inwardly betting
himself so cents that he'd never be
caught again in a suit of Coney Is
land Kentucky jeans.

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False


A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill,
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
INVITING they get about this nasal twang,
and yet it is fact caused by our dry,
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
yersal presence of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should SO many of our wo-
men have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the Eng
lish: 1t is quite impossible to account
Tor it except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
In eating and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption,
which are promoted by mal-nutrition
induced by deranged stomach action.
Ihe condition is modern one. one un.
known to our ancestors who prevented
the catarrh, cold, cough and consimp-
tion by abundant and regular use of
what Is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparilla, two old fash
1oned standard remedies handed down
.AAOAA "iASSSoOlo, ttuu HOW CACtubltcly
put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
yworld-famed makers of Warmers safe
cure. These two remedies plentifully
used as the fall and winter seasons adj
vance, together with an occasional use
= OF Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem
branes, give positive assurance of free
dom, both from catarrh and those dread
full and if neglected, inevitable conse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and
consumption, which so generally and
fatally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
county, Iowa, served four years in the
late war and contracted disease called
consumption by the doctors. He had
frequent hemorrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says, under date of
Jan. 10Th, 1888: 81 do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not
bother me, and do not have any more
smothering spells" Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream cured his wife of
catarrh and she is Sound and WE'LL"
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
he readily overcome in the manner in !

passed on a short distance, and then
turned to glance backward with the
question: "Why, sheriff, isn't that
the man sentenced to three months
in jail?"
Eyes," replied the sheriff, hesitat-
ingly; Eyes, that's the man; but you
