One Hundred Years Ago.

An observer who looks on life
through a pair of glasses somewhat
colored with hnmor, thus aIludes to
certain differences of social habit,
conveniences and comfort between
1888 and 1888:
One hundred years ago wedding
tours were not fashionable.
One hundred years ago the gin best
known was not the cotton gin.
One hundred years ago farmers did
uot cut their legs off with moving
machines.
One hundred years ago there was
no fast mail train between New York
and Chicago.
One hundred years ago there vera
no disputes about the impoliteness
OF horse car drivers.
One hundred years ago people did
not enjoy the inestimable pleasure OF
growing over gas bills.
One hundred years ago kerosene
lamps did not explode and assist the
kitchen girl in shutting off her NOR
tai coil.
One hundred years ago time and
tide waited for nobody; now nobody
waits for either time or tide.
One hundred years ago men did
not commit suicide by going up in
balloons and coming down without
them.
OIe hundred years ago there was
no steam on the canals-even the
driver on the tow path didn't steam
up in those days.
One hundred years ago a young
woman did not lose caste by wetting
her hands in dish water or rubbing
the skin off her knuckles on the wash
| board.
One hundred years ago the physi-
cIan who could not draw every dis
ease from the system by tapping a
large vein in the arm, was not much
of doctor.
One hundred years ago the prOduc-
er could carry his surplus products to
market on his horse,
One hundred years ago our fathers
did not light their pipes with match
es, but carried fire in their pockets
in the shape of piece of punk, a
pice of steel and a flint.
One hundred years ago a public Of
ficer or other citizen could not steal
enough to make the act respectable,
and insure the actor prominent po-
sition in the "first circles"

Wanted Him Bad.

An unpretentiOus man entered the
Office of the proprietor of great
daily newspaper.
'Well, sir, what can l do for you?"
Il have come, sir, to ask you for a
position as editorial writer on your
paper"
Il don't think there is room for
another man still, using a homely
phrase, we are ever on the Lookout
for good timber. Have you done
much newspaper work ?"
"NOne, SIR"
"But you think that you can shape
the public sentiment, eh ?"
mo, SIR"
"Then why do you ask for
place?"
"On account of my fitness"
"Of your fitness Il? But what does
your fitness consist Off"
MY absolute ignorance"
You are surely a peculiar man.
Want a position as editorial writer
because you are absolutely ignorant?"
"Yes, sir"
"But of what use is an absolutely
ignorant man. What would you
propose to do 2"
"Write articles on the tariff"
The proprietor caught quick
breath, placed one hand on the table
to steady himself, and said "Of
course | want you, hut | am surpris-
ed to see that you have resigned your
seat in Congress-"

A grand jury in New York city
made presentment the other day in
which it was stated that sample evil
dence had been brought before them
to prove open and extensive bribery,
corruption, maladministration and
violation of law" at the election last
November, and that one of the elec-
ton districts in the city was on that
occasion "practically controlled by
professional criminals" When one
takes these startling statements in
connection with the fact that the me-
tropolis gives 10000 to $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority, it is difficult to avoid
the conclusion that it IS a case OF
cause and effect. 1t is fact, too,
that all organized efforts in this
country at corruption and fraud in
elections have been in the interest
OF the Democratic party.

The RAd.Haired Boy.

n NGW IOI N lleICLdut, WHO Is
Sunday School teacher, was called
upon for speech at a great Sunday
School meeting out IL the West.
He said I'll tell you a story of a
beggar boy. l started out one fine
Sunday morning to get some recruits
for my class. AT the corner of the
street met barefooted boy, with.
out hat or coat, His head was fiery
red and looked as if it had never been
combed. | asked the boy if he would
come to school.
mo, sir" was his sharp reply.
"You ought to go to Sunday
School," | said kindly"
"What for ?" he asked.
"We teach boys to be goou,"
said.
"But don't want to be good"
Why do you not want to be good?"
I asked.
because Pm hungry" was the
quick reply.
at is now nine O'clock" 7 said,
looking at my watch. Haven't you
had any breakfast yet ?'
mo, sir"
"Where do you live ?"
up the alley there with aunty,
she's sick"
"Will you eat some gingerbread
and crackers if go and get some ?"
"Yes, sir, that L will, and be glad
TO get EN-"
| got some and set them before
him. He ate them in way which
showed how keenly hungry he was.
1 asked him if he would like some
more.
"a little more. if you please, sir"
said the boy,
got a fresh supply and set them
before him. | waited until ne had
done eating, then l said :
MY boy, will you go to school
with me now ?'
"You'ye been so kind to me, sir"
said he, "I'll 90 anywhere with you.
Please wait till | take what's left OF
the gingerbread round to aunty, and
then I'll 60 with YOU"
He returned directly to the side
walk where | was waiting for him
and went with me to school. He had
never been to school before. He
thought of school as a place where
boys had to hold out their hands tC
be slapped with ruler, and have
