He Got Ahead.

Gen. George 4. Sheridan, who
has made a hit as a lecturer in de-
Tense of Christianity against the
assaults of The Modern Pagan, -
Is an effective witty, and ell
oquent political speaker. On one
occasion he was sent by commit
tee to deliver an address in a small
town in Indiana on the banks of
the Wabash. Sheridan was rath-
er surprised at the elaborate re-
ception he met when he alighted
from the train. \ great procession
composed of the town military
company, various civil societies,
the mayor, aldermen, etc, took him
in charge and conveyed, him to the
public square, where an audience
of 1000 or 5000 were waiting.
Sheridan's bewilderment changed
to feelings of another nature
when the mayor arose and address
ed the assemblage saying: Eel
low citizens l introduce to you
Gen. George Sheridan, and he Will
speak. He is not the Sheridan we
expected to hear. We looked for
little Phil, the hero of Winchester.
The committee has played trick
on us. This Sheridan is said to
be a good speaker, and we Will try
and forget our surprise and disap-
pointment and listen to him"
The mayor sat down, and Sberi-
dan rose to reply.

In a neighboring paper CORES
pondent propounds the following
question:
1 viii ask some of my good dem.
ocratic bretheren what Is the cause
of these hard times? If the pres,
ent administration has revolutions
lied the cole of laws the mugwumE
had inaugurated and has reclaimed
so much of the public domain that
had been given away to these land
sharks and spectators, and paid
so much of the public debts, why
is it that the cry of hard times is
heard all over the land?
The principal cause of hart
times is because 80 per cc-ste5if-,ths
people live beyond their income
and go in debt for things they
could do without, and thus year by
year burden themselves with a
debt they never can and never will
pay.
Another reason is, two-thirds of
the farmers sell their corn and
wheat at gathering time for 30 and
go cents bushel and few months
later pay 70 cents for corn and So
and 81 per hundred for flour.
Another reason is, most farmers
have their smoke houses in st.
Louis and Kansas City instead of
in their back yards, They pay ten
and fifteen cents a pound for bacon
and ten and twelve cents a pound
for lard instead OF raising their
own meat.
Another reason is, the men who
growl most about hard times, leave
their plows, mowers, reapers, har-
yesters, hoes, and gears in the field,
On the fence corners, exposed 10
all kinds of weather, to rust, rot,
and ruin, and when another crop
season comes new ones have to be
bought.
Another reason is, men who COM
plain most about hard times spend |
-wo-thirds other time attending
o other peoples business, and the
5ther third fshihg, limiting, drink
ng bad whisky, and cursing men
Who have money and property, in
tead of going to work and making
omething to feed and clothe them
elves and family.
Our advice is to quit growing
nd complaining and go to work
nd do something for yourselves
nd mankind generally Our lives
re what we make them. No po-
tical party, or policy of govern
lent can bring you prosperity I'M
sss you work-not one day nor
Eo days, but all the time. Kauf-

Meaning OF the Word LIMITED"

A subscriber asks for an explanation
of ne word limited, which frequently
follows the namo Of a corporation. as the
Sunrise Backing company, limited. or
Smith & Jones, limited. In the last
cass, as in the first, the concern is cor.
poration, with shareholders. not one Of
whom. possibly. is a Smith or Jones.
The old principle of corporations ere
ated by legislative act was that the entire
property OF every stakeholder was ssablc
for the whole debts of the company, as
the whole property Of every member OF
general partnership is still liable for the
debts Of the firm.
Bat this system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management Of which
he might not be guilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming Interested in
the shares Of corporations. To remove
this objection the principle Of limited LA
bilitv was introduced and in order o no
tify the public that only the separate
property Of the corporation was l'Sbic for
the debts of the corporation the English
law requires that the word limited
shall be used in every case 10y the com
pany.
Most American corporations are con
stituted on the principle Of limited la
blitv. but few, II any, Of the states en-
Join companies to append the word lin.
tied TO their corporate titles. The matter
is so well understood in this country, in
deed. that il is not necessary.
The most noteworthy exception 10 the
general rule is the case - the national
banks. and even in this instance liability
IS limited TO an amount equal TO the par
value of the sharss That is, if ma
tional bank fails, each stakeholder may
not only lose what he has invested, but
800 more for each share of stocks he
holds if so much is necessary TO pay the
debts Of the bank.
Until within few years all the Scot.
fish banks were organized with unlimited
liability and when. eight or ten years
AGO. a Glasgow bank failed, dlsastrously,
there were cases of men who only owned
a share or two, valued before the failure
at not much more than hundred dollars
each. who were assessed thousands Of
pounds sterling, to meet the debts OF the
bank. Since that time the Scottish banks
have been allowed to reorganize on basis
of limited liability.-Youths Companion

all the dogs are said to have escaped from

The explanation offered by Professor
Milne Of this apparent prescience Is that
some animals are sensitive TO the small
tremors which precede nearly all earth
quakes He has himself felt them some
seconds before the actual earthquake
came. The alarm Of intelligent animals
would then be the result Of their own
experience, which has taught them thai
small tremors are premonitory OF move
ments more alarming. Signs OF alarm
days before an earthquake are probably
accidental but sometimes In volcanic
districts gases have emanated from tina
