Grit IS Well rs Pluck.

It is desirable that we should have grit
as well as pluck--a power to endure, re-
sist, take the blows and still persist and
press forward. Pluck is the quality Of
pitching in; crit is tho quality Of not
backing out Now, we do not expect
every one to h ave both grit and pluck;
but every one ought to have ono or the
other; and so the community, or the So
ciety, or, as we have a habit OF saying,
the commonw ealth. shall have both.

The Pension Commissioners Troubles.

One woman in the best faith addresses

husband has long been absent. She has
wandered over the face of tho country in
search of him. and she would now like to
have him take up the search. Many such
eases occur. Letters containing souvenirs

to any one else, are received; letters of
advice detailing whole pension schemes to
be substituted for the present system of
laws: letters of extravagant commenda.

.It's very curious" remarked spccu.
lator. the other day. "what a strong in
fucnce little things exert over some men.
Now, there is Charlie -, of the board
of trade, one Of the sharpest traders on
the floor; man who sells by the hundred
thousand, and buys in the same extrava-
giant quantity. know for fact that for
years past he has made 1t rule to sell
short on wheat every spring, and sell big,
too. But he never changes from the bear
to the bull side until he sees certain
lilac bush out on the west side burst into
bloom. The very first day he sees q lower
out on that particular bush he goes onto
the floor and sells right and left, and
keeps it up This he has done SO regu-
larly for some years past that it is CON-
mon remark on change at these times
that Charles lilac bush is in bloom.
What Is more curious, too, is that he
hasn't made a mistake for years past. It's
been a perfect mascot for him. No,
won't tell you where tho bush is, but he
passes by it eve ~ day on his way down
town, and tell you he watches it closely,
too. Lots of the boys have tried to find
out where it is located, but there are hun
dreds of lilac bushes along the street, and
he isn't fool enough to give it away.
'And l know Of another queer case,
too" continued the speculator. my
typewriter, a.woman of about 40 years OF
age, has some particular thing that she
watches on bel way down town in the
morning, and, as curious matter of fact,
that woman will walk into the Office, sit
down at her desk, write out prediction
of the course Of the days markets, and
then put 1t away. 1t comes true, too
that's the curious part Of it. She will
not tell how she does it, but. for weeks
past She named the markets cratic course
accurately. Do ever trade son her pre-
diction? Well. not often. You know
don't believe in those things. But it,
mighty curious to say the least, isn't it?'

that Mr.. 2. T. Wright, of Portland,
has just received another full carload

BRANDRETH's PILLS are the best medi-

First-They are purely vegetable, in fact
a medicated food.
Second-The same dose always produces
the same effect, other purgatives require
increased doses and finally cease acting.
Third They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FiJth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eye
bright; the mind active; digestion is re
stored; costiveness cured; the animal
vigor is recr uited and all decay arrested
