Children are not the only peculiar
people whom we deal with across the
counter" said an attendant in the read
ing-room of the city library to re-
porter of the Indianapolis NesOs, Just
after waiting upon group of giggling
schoolgirls. "It's true they are the
ones who make the oldest mistakes.
Here. see this little girls request"
which, in the place of the title of q
book or paper, was written in an un-
certain hand, "All the things" THAT
was rather appalling DESIRE" con-
sidering the fact that all the things
would include 10000 volumes and
many thousand unbound papers. /
finally compromised the matter,
though, and sent her away happy with
q bound volume of The Chatterbox.'
''Some time ago small boy, with q
sturdy air, took the pencil and devoted
himself for five minutes to writing what
he wanted. 1t was an undertaking
which required the greatest amount of
exertion. He seized the pencil with q
vise-ike grip and protruded his tongue
to an amazing length, while big beads
of sweat gathered on his forehead. At
last he was done, and with the air of a
conqueror he presented the slip. I
took it with some curiosity, and found
that the words which he had produced
after such tremulous effort were
'Wogly! Wooglyr I was completely
puzzled. [ ran over all the periodicals
could remember, but none had
names which could be tortured into a
semblance of that. Then pronounced
it aloud, and there seemed to be faint
similarity in the sound to something
had heard before. / tried it again.
All! had it. sis it Harper's Weekly

't' Yes, ma'am, of COURSE he said.
but, as started out to say, the
queer customers are not all children.
Do you see that dark man with long
hair sitting over there by the window?
Well, by actual count waited on him
twenty -seven times in an hour and
half yesterday. To-day he promises to
do almost as well, as he has taken six
different papers in the half hour since
he came in. Here he comes again"
He came, and, with the air of a
carried away the North Amsericars Re-
UieD.
s'He must be the most rapid reader
on record" went on the attendant. 81
thought for long time he was look
ing up references, but the theory had
to be abandoned. He will take in the
entire range of science, literature and
art, religion, history and humor just
about as fast as I can procure the
periodicals, and then return the next
day and go through the list again. 1t
never occurs to him that he is caus-
ing any trouble or hindering other
people from getting what they want
lone day pompous man came in
and asked if the bookkeeper was in.
I thought of all the employees about
the library, but the business is of such
a nature that we keep no regular set
of books 1 supposed he must mean
the person who keeps the record of the
books loaned and returned, and asked
if that was the case. No. he said,
very impatiently, 1 want the book
keeper WELL finally said. I know
of no such person; / will have to refer

A matter of general comment
among our people Is the well.dressed,
well-behaved, and generally intelli-
gent and prosperous appearance of the
mass of people on the streets of Great
Bend Tuesday. Verify, Barton has a
population of ladies and gentlemen in
every respect.
Our people are to be congratulated
upon the excellent potato crop that
will be dug in Barton county this fall.
| Certainly there never was a better
year for the tubers than the present,
and instead Of shipping in potatoes, as
has been done heretofore, Barton
county will have piles of them to sell.
We are glad to notice that property
owners generally are identifying their
homes in every way possible, fixing
their fences and keeping their lawns in
good order. Keep the trees you have
set out this year alive and they will
be an ornament to be proud of in two
or three years and will then not be
the care they are now.
Cal Dawson has, at his feed store
west of the postofice, fine samples of

corn, an 80.day corn, the seed of which
he shipped in from Iowa last spring.
The samples were raised about four
miles north of Great Bend The ears
are large and we'll filled, and the ker-
mel hard and full. The samples were
brought in on the 9th of August.
We regret to announce that the
DEMOCRAT has lost a good printer and
the city will lose respected citizen
in the removal of Mr.. w. G. Brands
from our midst. Mr.. Brands has
made many friends while in our city,
and as foreman of this office has shown
himself a gentleman of superior ability.
He will leave, accompanied by Mrs.
Brands and their boy. on the 10Th,
going to Wisconsin. The removal is
made necessary on account of MIR. BIS
health, who has suffered greatly of
late from lung trouble.

Smith is college graduate with the
degree of A. NJ, and besides having
completed course in law, has during

THE GOOD TINE COMING.

There's coming up the path of Time a
gracious epoch when
The better motives of the heart shall
rule the deeds of men;
When politicians cease with lies to mend
their party fence,
And Office holders heed the wish of their
constituents;
When every one shall have the thought
to watch the words they say.
When all our deeds and motives shall be
open as the day;
With thieving, trickery, deceit and fraud
we shall have done,
In that uncertain period when Johnny
gets his gun.

LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.

To Theater Owners. Managers and Whom it
May Concern:
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems of fire protection,
and after repeated tests of the Lindgren sta
tionary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
commendation of the insurance under-writ-
ers, have no hesitation in pronouncing it
the cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, fire protection for theaters ever in
vented. In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in the United States, as well as
Europe, should be equipped with these chem
ical fire engines, and thus save the loss of life
and thousands of dollars in property,
Respectfully.

This is to certify that 1, George A. Burbank,
witnessed the exhibition of the Lindgren
chemical engine test to-day, and as have
witnessed great many such chemical tests
in New York City, Boston, Mass, and other
largo cities in the East, / hereby state that it
was the quickest and most satisfactory test,
and was also pronounced so by two Of our
councilmen and all the citizens present, and
will also state that the time of applying the
chemical was left entirely to me and l did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for in other tests have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just
as wen, as there was nothing but the fame
started and the wood not charred, and l take
great pleasure in recommending the Lind
gren" as far superior to any other Chemical"

mumm,s Mean Lies,

The american AnalySt in replying to
the lying statements of G. Won Mumm,
manufacturer of the Mumm brand of
champagne, regarding our native wines
rips that prejudiced gentleman up the
back and exposes his mean motives in
the following artistic manner:
Mr.. Mumm ingeniously tries to con-
vey' the untruthful impression that all
American champagnes are made effer-
vescent by the addition of carbonic acid
gas, while he knows perfectly we'll that
there are several American champagnes
which are made precisely as his wine is
made, and in the case of one American
brand, Arpad Haraszthy & Co. g
Eclipse, with better and more uniform
results. He also retails the very old
story about California soil, spiced up
with the foolish remark that the efferves-
cent quality of the wine depends upon
the soil, when every child knows that
the natural carbonic acid gas of cham
pagne is the product of the saccharine
matter it contains. Then a ridiculous
fling at the youth of our vineyards is
made to cover up the we'll known fact
that France was dependent upon
our youthful but healthy American
vines TO replace their efEete phyiloxera.

signs of a Marine Disaster.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, June 25.-
For several days there has been evil
dences of come ocean disaster in the
washing ashore on these islands of wreck
age. Today bundle of woman's clothing
was picked up on the beach at Edgar
town, and a life preserver that came
from the City of Rome was also found.
Considerable wreckage, painted green
and slate color, is coming ashore
on the island. Among that found at
Smith Point today were gilt mouldings
in considerable quantities, one
large door, with three ground.
glass circular top lights, one
window sash, evidently belonging
to some steamer, and also steamer
Victoria bills of lading. Wine cards
of the steamship Haytien Repub-
lie were washed ashore at Nam
tucket today. Everything points to
a collision between the Victoria and the
Haytien Republic, though the life pre-
servers belonging to the City of Rome
add to the mystery enveloping the sup
posed disaster,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-25

surprising for him, like grain of gold
in heap of sand, he admits that the
champagne manufacturers of Europe do
not own vineyards, but depend upon
small vine-growers for their sup-
plies for blending, and that when
they get inferior wines, as they fire.
quently do, they blend them with better
grades, but they all go in. He also ad-
mitted that the foreign champagnes are
all doctored to suit the varying tastes Of
different nationalities. The subject of
profits on such wines also receives atten-
ton. A profit of ten dollars a case was
strenuouely denied, and the allegation
that one dollar came nearer
the truth is what we are sup
posed to be gullible enough to believe.
How they can afford to maintain
expensive statesmen with several thou
sand dollars month for treating pur-
poses, pay heavy bonus to barkeepers
on corks and other well-known extrava.
gances, on one dollar case, is evidently
like one of Dundreary's puzzles. His
final allegation that in California men
try to raise champagne on one side Of
a hill .and Madeira on the other is too
ridiculous to require notice. To raise
such miserable stuff as Mr.. Won
Mumm admits he uses to blend for his
champagne does not need much of vine
yard. Let our German friend take q
trip to California, and try to look at
things as they are. He will conclude
that California is large enough to enable
us to have crop of grapes somewhere
in its large area that will not need skill
full "doctoring" to make honest and nom
poisonous champagne"
