Ga an unlueky day last summer, ar
innocent young friend Of mine begsn to
eat ice cream every Suudsy In spite
of the warnings of his friends he
kept up this practice nearly three
weeks and then one day be fell while
chasing street car, sbrsdipg the skin on
both his shins and running silver into
the ball of his thumb SO far that 1t made
his teeth ache when he pulled it out
Whenshe went home that evening be
learned that his eldest boy, of whom he Is
very proud, had been licked in fair Eight
by boy not half his size.
Another friend ste ice cream with his
RoADg comrsdee every summer far three
years. After eating 1t about two
months he noticed that his boots
began to run over at the heel. His aged
pastor hesought him to abandon the per
niclous habit, and his sweetheart, with
tears and prayers, added her eutreaties
to the minister's. In the forlorn hope OF
reforming him the foolish young girl mar
ried him. The next Sunday after their
wedding they we're OUT driving, when q
runaway horse, driven by the pastor,

the ice cream habit. Ia q short time 1t
grew upon her, and began to interfere
with her duties in the schoolroom. One
day, while seated at the sewing machiI e,
she ran needle clear through her thumb,
and for several days thereafter whenever
she ate ice cream, she felt sharp pain
10 her thumb. she disregsrded the
warning, however, and last week
she was carried away. The manwho car

Mr.. BLA1NE's WEAK POINT

Chicago News.
The weakest point made by Mr..
Blaine in the present campaign-and
he gave it special prominence at In
dianapolis-is that our war tariff
tends 10 render us Independent of the
markets of the world in the disposal
our food products.
His contention is that but for the
tariff our home market for food pro-
ducts would be utterly destroyed,
and thus we would be rendered as
dependent on Europe for the sale Of
these as we were previous to its en-
actment.
lie adds TO this the anomalous ale
CATION, contradictory of the above,
that II is not the tariff, but the vast
imports of food products OF late years
into Europe from Russia, Australia,
India and South America, most Of
these the results of underpaid labor,
which has caused the decline in the
prices of western farm products.
Yet what is this but an admission
that the protection panacea has utter
ly failed in the intention of rendering
our farmers independent ofEuropean
market prices2
In refutation of Mr.. Biaine's POSI-
tion-that the tariff renders us indie
pendent Of foreign markets--it is
Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1888-10-16

simply necessary TO show that, where
as in 1850 we exported but Sl5,27l,'
$50 in value of food products, in ISIS,
we exported s245,G09,34S worth
Meanwhile, before our farmers wert
compelled the meet Indian and Rus.
sian competition, their value rose in
round numbers to $422, 100000 worth
in 1881.
Speaking of these exports, Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson, in the October For.
um, says: "IIad it not been possible
to make this exchange, or to export
the excess of our corn, wheat, dairy
products, cotton and oil, this excess
could not have been consumed at
home, as the remainder met the de-
msnd of the most abundant and in
creasing consumption"
Furthermore, when Mr.. Blaine as
serts that, even in the face of the
present tariff, our farmers are COM
PEELED to compete with Indian labor,
working for s cents day, he gives
away his whole case.

People Manned by the Care.
lessness Of Railroad Men.

The careless railroad man got il
his work at Mud Run, Pennsylvania
on the Lehigh Valley railroad, on the
night of the 10th inst, at 10 o'clock
There were nearly six thousand
Lackawanna and Luzerne excursion
lists at Mud Run and the returning
trains were in several sections, there
being seventy eight cars in all. II
appears that the third section of the
train was standing few hundred
yards from Mud Run waiting for the
two preceding sections 10 get far
enough for a start. Suddenly passen-
gers on the platform Of the rear car
saw cleaning in the darkness the
head light of the fourth section com
ing quickly toward them, and several
of them jumped at once from the
train and saved their lives. Those
inside the cars, totally unconscious OF
the awful fate awaiting them, were
laughing and chatting, talking over
the events of the day, thinking of the
loved ones at home waiting their re-
turn, and planning for the coming
day-never dreaming that there
would be no tomorrow for some of
them, that some Of them were in an
instant to solve the problem of their
future life, when suddenly there was
an awful crash, and laughter and
hilarity in the twinkling of an eye
was changed into the dying moan
and the cry of agony. The approach
ing train had run into the rear of the
third section, the engine plunging its
full length into the mass of humanity.
1t is said that the shock was so great
that it actually drove the rear car
through the next one for two-thirds

that the sums of money alleged to
