DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED.

 A friend had pointed revolver at him.
 "He didn't know it was loadedp'
 We often hear it stated that a man is not responsible for what he does not know. The law presupposes knowledge and therefore convicts the man who ex- cuses crime by ignorance
 ''1f had only known" has often been an unfortunate mans apology for some evil unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of general interest-as for in stance that laudanum is a poison, that naphtha is deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged with winters ac,umu- lations of the waste of the system,-it is one's duty to know the fact and the conse quences thereof. Our good old grand mothers knew for instance, that the open ing of spring was the most perilous periol of the year.
 Why?
 Because then the blood stream is sl-ggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good vigor the rest of the year. Hence, without exception, what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa- parilla, was plentifully made and Teligiously given to every member of the family regularly through March, April, May and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential, preventive and re- storative custom saved many a fit of sickness, prolonged life and happiness to avigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expenditures.
 Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Ky, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa- parilla flor nervous sick headache of which had been sufferer for years. It has been a great benefit to me-" i Capt. Hugh Harkins, 1114 s. 18th St, Philadelphia, Pa., says Git purified my blood and removed the llotches from my skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks Co.,, Pa., says she twas entirely cured of skin disease of the worst kind" by : Log Cabin oarsararlla. Bad skin indi- oates very bad condition of the blood.
 If you would live and be well. go to your druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other,-there's nothing like it or as good, and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots and Eerbs.
 Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is guarantee of excellence all over tLe known world. Take 1t yourself and give it to the other members of the family, including the children. You will bc astonished at it's health-giving and life prolonging powers. We say this editorially with perfect confidence, because we have heard good things of 1t everywhere, and it's name ia guarantee that it is first class in eVArv particular.

It will be interesting to know whether the Democratic party will reafirm that plank in the Chicago plat form which declares that Federal officers in the Territories should be filled by the citizens of the territories. In other words, that there should be local self government in the Territories of the United States. The President has paid no attention to the pledge which the party made in 1884"

answer would be wise: Better be sure

He was at once manly and childlike;
manly in honor, truth and tenderness;
childlike in the simplicity that suspects
no guile and practices none. He had
in him that rare quality of loving SYM
pathy that prompted sinners to bring
their confessions to him and ask help
and counsel of him, which he gave,
and human love into the bargain.
Among his million readers, thousands
wrote to thank him for good that his
books had awakened in their souls and
stimulated in their lives. He knew the
human heart, his own was so human
and so great; and the vast success of
his stories, however technical critics
may have questioned it, was within his
deserts, because it was based on this
fact. Noone could have had humber
opinion of Roe's " art" than he had
but an author who believes that good is
stronger than evil, and that sinner
can turn from his wickedness and live,
and who embodies these convictions in
his stories, without trace of cant on
insincerity-such an author and man
deserves a success infinitely wider and
more permanent than that of the skill
fullest literary mechanic, and it is &c
the credit of our nation that he has it,

The Perils of Fast RailrOading.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing on the subject of the daily race
between the two fast English trains to
the North, says: There is one point
of which | have seen no notice taken
the increased wear and tear, mentally
and bodily, of the driver and stoker of
those special trains. A friend of one
of the drivers told me that he saw a
marked effect on his apparent health.
The driver told him his anxiety was
greatly increased. On one occasion his
stoker, who had gone along the engine
to oil valve, became paralyzed with
fear, so that he could not move forward
or backward. The driver had to leave
his place and follow his stoker and
seize his hand, and so they regained
the standing place. The distances run
are so great, and the pace so rapid,
that any oiling, ETC., is done with in
creased risk. The force of the wind is
so great, that when the stoker creeps
along the footplate alongside of the
engine, he has to hold on by the rail
like grim death, and has been carried
off his feet"
