How It Was Settled.

The novel fact that Gen George L Becker
was once elected to congress, but was beaten
out OF his seat by ge1ne Of seven-up, iprob'
ably known by very few at the present time.
It was in the fall OF 1851 The territory OF
Minnesota had just been organized, prepara-
tory to admission as state the following
year, and three men were elected to the lower
house Of congress- to wit: George L. Becker,
of st. Paul, James n Cavanaugh, of Chat
field, and ". W. Phelps, Of Red Wing, all
Democrats. When the census Of the terri
tory was taken for the benefit Of congress it
turned out that the new state would be en-
titled to only two members Of the lower
house. There were three very much discon-
certed young men, for they were brinannins
with life and ambition, and neither Of them
relished the idea Of giving up the captured
prize. However, after siege Of contriving
and pickering, in which neither gained a
point over the other, young Becker laughing
ly suggested that they decide the matter by
three handed game of seven-up. The other
two jumped at the proposition, and in less
than two hours proved to Mr.. Becker that he
had made very bad suggestion for his own
interests Becker accepted the defeat grace
fully, but was unable to restrain a feeling Of
contempt for the hands the other fellows
played.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

er, for the months just mentioned as being
the most prolific are certainly those In which
the skies look brightest and the earth is fair
est. Another remarkable fact in this con-
nection is that the progressive increase and
decrease in the number of suicides coincide
with the lengthening and shortening Of the
days. and, as NJ Guerry has shown, not only
the seasons Of the year, but the days Of the
month and Of the week, and even the hours
Of the day, exert an influence, the constancy
Of which cannot be mistaken
As a result Of his elaborate research he
found that the greatest number Of suicides
among men occurred during the first ten days
Of the month, and from Monday to Thursday
of the week. This is accounted for by re-
membering that the majority Of workingmen
receive their wages either on the first Of the
month or the last Of the week, and that ''pay
day" is often followed by dissipation, de.
bauchery and remorse- Oettingen completed
this interesting observation by: showing that
the larger number Of suicides among women
take place during the last half Of the week,
when they are most apt to feel the effects OF
mans prodigality and wrongdoing. In re-
gard to the hours Of the day, we know, from
Brierre de Boismont's examination Of 1,e95
cases of suicide in Paris, that the maximum
number occurred between 6 a. N. and noon,
and thereafter regularly declined, reaching
the minimum at the hour before sunrise

Why a Western Democratic Editor
Doesn't Want to be POSTMASTER Any
More.
The following document has been re-
ceiyed at Washington from the editor
postmaster at Mount Carmel, ILL.,:
MOUNT CARMEL, June Z, 1889.
To Hon. B. Harrison, President, Etc.
SIR: By the grace of God and Grover
Cleveland l am postmaster at Mount
Carmel My official term will expire
January Goth, 1890. In addition to
editing the mails of this city I am also
the editor of the Mount Carmel Register,
live, local Democ, .tlc newspaper, es-
tablished in 1889, and published at $1.25
year, cash in advance; discount OF
twenty per cent. to ministers and
Presidents.
While the office has agreed with me,
and I have in the main agreed with the
Office, and while might reasonably en-
tertain the hope of holding on for eight
months longer, yet feel it my duty to
tender you my resignation.
Being Democrat, have preached
that ''to the victors belong the spoils. :"
feel disposed to practice that which l
preach
Your immediate predecessor hoped to
build up his party by keeping the oppo-
sition in Office. You are probably
aware, if you are at all familiar with
the vocabulary of true and trite sayings,
that his name is now Dennis.
am moved further to tender you
my resignation because of the anxiety
of barnyard full of patriots to succeed
me. l believe thata tariff is tax.
They do not. Therefore they are of
your own kith and kindred, and be
who provides not for his own household
is worse than an infidel. l am tod
that you are not built that way.
But to resume the thread of my dis
course: The boys who are anxious to be
my successor are very hungry; they
have been feeding on shucks and icicles
for four long, weary years; the official
calf is fat and they yearn to taste its
tender joints. They fought (among
themselveS), bled Cat the nose), and are
willing to die for the G. 0. P. When l
asserted that you we're the Chinaman's
candidate and ate rat tail soup with
chopsticks, they swore by Dudley and
Foster that it was a campaign canard,
and threatened to detail blocks of five to
fry the fat out Of me. Fortunately
for Inc their threats were never
carried into execution. They car
ried torches, drank with the
coons, sang "Granpa's hat will. just
fit Benny" and did divers and many
foolish things, none of which would they
have been guilty of doing had they not
scented an aroma of postofice on the
crisp morning air. And the paans Of
praise which they sounded when it be-
came evident that you chad got there,
Eli" will never be a Sahara in my mem
ory.
For these and other reasons unneces-
sary to mention, tender you my resig.
nation, with the hope that my successor
will be animated by similar spirit in
1898. If heis, your Democratic sue
ceSso1 will be spared the painful neces-
sity Of turning the rascal out" [ am
