SAVED BY A HoRsE.-Some years since
party of surveyors had just finished their
days work in the northwestern part of Illi-
nois. when violent snowstorm came on.
They started for their camp. The wind was
blowing very hard. and the snow drifted go
as to nearly blind them. When they
thought they mad neared their camp, they
all at once came upon tracks in the snow.
These they looked at with care. and found,
to their dismay, that they were their own
tracks. It was now plain that they we're
lost on toe great prairie. and that ii they
he'd to pass the night there in the cold and
the snow, the chance was that not one OF
them would be alive in the morning. While
thew were all shivering with fear and with
cold. the chief surveyor caught sight OF one
oftheir horses, grey pony, known as "O!d

himself free, threw his head in the air, as If

b.eezs and gave loud snort, which seemed
to saw. "Come oD, boys. Follow me Pll

turned in new direction and walked oti,
and the men followed him. They had not
gone more than q mile when they saw tue
cheerful blaze Of their camp. fires. They all
gave q loud hurrah ct the sight.

With a cup of free coffee drink
to the health Of the Democratic
party.-[R. Q. Mills.]
Who made coffee free? What
party took the duty off coffee? The
Republican party. If the Demo-
cratic party had their way duty
would be again placed on tea and
coffee, the sugar duty would be in
creased, and the duty on every article
produced in this country-that is to
say, every duty that protects any
American producer or worker
would be cut down below the reve-
nue. point, or swept away altogether.
This is the sort of friendship for
American industry which the Demo
cratic party entertains.
