Little Boy Blue.
From Americr

From america.
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket moulls in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair,
And there was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there
Now, don't you go till come. he said,
And don't you make any noise"
SO toddling off to his truudle bed
He dreamed Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each i'll the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting these long years
through
In the dust of that little chair
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

The Corner Drug Store.
From the Chicago Mdh.


The corner drug store is becoming q place
where people expect to find everything and if
the don't get it they kick to quote the Ian
guage of tue proprietor of one of them. II
don't remember just when it became the prov
ince of a drug store to keep soda WATER he
continued, land | suppose that is all right But
this doesn't satisfy any longer. We began SELL
ing koumiss some years ago, and now we have
a regular trade in that. You know the custom
which prevails in many drinking places of offer
ing the customer an oyster, or fish ball or a
sandwich, or some cheese and crackers? There
are many people who go into a beer saloon
regularly once day, just to get nbble of
something, and they buy glass of
beer for the looks of the thing So we have
put cheese and crackers on our koumiss
counter and are having a boom in the business.
1t is funny TO see how many things a man will
call for in place like this. One comes in and
buys glass of something to drink, a cigar. a
postage stamp and an envelope and tooth
brush a box of pills and a bottle of some
cough mixture Now and then we are asked for
an article which has no more business in a drug
store than cat has with three eyes, and when
we tell them that we haven't it they look sur
prised. Just, awhile ago n man came in here
and asked me in all seriousness if had. any
faxseed poultices. Flaxseed, of course, we
keep; but tlaXseed poultices! Think of that.
And they ask for things in a corner drug store
that they would never ask for in a drug store
in the middle of the block l don't know why
they do il. Don't ask me-

A signifeant Change in PennsYlvania.

! a Significant Change in Pennsylvania.
The fact that the Democratic State
Convention of Pennsylvania indorsed the
I Presidents tariff policy shows how
strong the tariff reform sentiment
throughout the country has become
During the period that the Republican
party was in power, the Democratic party
of Pennsylvania favored the protective
policy. Mr.. Randall's tariff ideas were in
dorsed. and he was the acknowledged Demo
cratic leader Of the State. In the State
convention last Wednesday he was pushed
so far in the background that he was not
noticeable. His leadership was repudiated,
and lie was virtually told that he had ceased
to have any influence in his party in his
State
This condition Of affairs could not have
existed if a very great change had not
taken place in his party with regard to tn e
tariff. The evidences of this change have
been cropping out for a year or more. The
workingmen have been studying the tariff
and many thousands of them have been
convinced that the protective policy does
not benefit them. In the State convention
Oil W cNueSAdy d LIlhois WIZ " a. d ucAcsdtS
from Schuylkin county, and several
other workiDgmen declared that in
favoring the Mills bill they
represented their constituents. They also
declared that they were beginning to see
that the protective policy was not helpful
to them, but that it did encourage monopo-
lies and that the mOnopolists got whatever
benefit there was TO be derived from pro-
lection. Under the protective policy they
had seen their wages steadily decline, and
they were ready to give tariff reform a
trial
Can any one doubt that these working
men were siucere9 What they said was the
result of their observation and experience,
and they but gave expression to the thoughts
of thousands of their fellow-w orkingmen
Mr.. Randall has had his day of triumph
in Pennsylvania He is, doubtless, sincere
in entertaining the views he does relative to
the tariff, but they are no longer the views
of his party in his State, or in any other
State He may continue to represent his
district in Congress, because the Republi-
cans are willing that he SHALL and he may
continue To act with his party on all mat
tiers except the tariff, but he win no longer
exert a controlling influence in his party in
his own State or in Congress. The change
that has taken place in the tariff sentiment
of the Democrats of Pennsylvania is signifi-
cant

Florida Politics.

/ Florida Is apparently much more deeply
| interested in State than national politics at
/ present. The State Democratic Convention
meets at ST. Augustine on next Tuesday
| It will nominate a State ticket and select
delegates TO the national convention.
There are plenty of candidates for all the
| places that are to be filled The convention
| viii have busy tirae of it, and it will be
| fortunate if its work gives general satisfac-
ton. OF course the chief interest centers
in the nomination for Governor. There
| are several candidates for that nomination,
and each OF them has very considerable
| following. No one of them however, ap-
pears to have so much the advantage of the
others that his nomination can be regarded
as certain. 1t is noticeable that there has
been some talk Of ex-Gov. Bloxham lately,
but as he has made no sign indicating
purpose TO seek the Governorship again, it
may be safely considered that he is not in
the race.
The effort that is being made in behalf of
Capt. Fleming is very noticeable. Perhaps
that is because he is a Jacksonville man.
jacksonville, being the chief city of the
State, is able to make more imposing de-
mOnstration in behalf of its candidate than
less important places which have candi-
dates. 1t cannot be denied. however, that
Capt. Fleming will be well in the front, if
not in the very front, when the balloting
begins. Few of the delegations have been
instructed, and those which have not do
not express their preferences freely. 1t is
not possible, therefore, to predict with any
degree of certainty what tho action of the
convention will be
There is no doubt, of course, that Presi-
dent Cleveland will be Endorsed for rem 0mi-
nation and his tariff policy approved
Florida Democrats are in harmony with
the national party on all questions. The
protection idea receives no sympathy from

Not So Bilious as He Was.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Ben Tuthill tells good story on himself
thus:
Il have notion that beer gives any one a
tendency to biliousness, and so thinking, have
acquired the habit of looking at my tongue
whenever am in front of a mirror. The other
day, in New York, / stood chatting with party
of friends near the Fourteenth Street Theater
We were just in front of little cigar store
with very bright, clear plate glass show win
dow, and as we chatted l caught my reflection
on the polished surface, and just as matter of
habit stepped up to it and put out my tongue,
80, for a look. 1t was all right, and l turned
back to my friends and went on chatting. In
about minute a man seven feet long came out
of the door of the cigar store and came straight
up to me with his fists doubled up. Says he:
"'You young cub, I'll teach you to run out
your tongue and make faces at me-
II believe he would have pounded me into
jelly if the party had not interfered. l haven't
been bilious since"

Memory Bags.
ron, the Detroit Fnee Press

From the Detroit Free Press.
Save those flowers, " said society lady to
her maid, as the latter removed a fade
bouquet.
They were not roses, and therefore could not
have been designed for the potpourri. The
curious visitor inquired of the fair hostess as to
their destination.
80. those flowers were sent to me by Mrs.
Gen. Logan when she was here a few weeks
ago prize them much and intend to preserve
them in memory bag
"May | ask what memory bag is?'
Your head is resting against one now. As
you see. they are made of silk or any other ma
terial you choose, with the name of the donor
of the flowers on them, and sentiment, if you
approve"
"Who originated the fashion,"
81 think the floral memory bag owes its being
to the Grant family. The year after the Gen
erals death, when the family were at Long
Branch, Mrs. Grant placed daily offering OF
flowers before the picture of her silent soldier
These flowers were afterward dried and made
into memory bags for distribution among the
many friends of the family"

dog doubted the mans right to interfere, and
becoming convinced from the mans actions
that he was the legitimate owner, he quickly
