Gen. Bailey and the President.

The Washington Eoening Star gives the
following account of an incident which
occurred at Leonardtown, St. Mary Is
county, Md, during tie visit of President
Harrison to that town Sunday on his trip
down the Potomac:
Some little amusement was created by
the conduct of somewhat eccentric old
gentleman who asked Secretary Halford
to introduce him to the President. The
request was complied with, and then
General Bailey-for that was his name
and title-said:
I've been candidate for the presidency
several times, but somehow or other I've
been knocked out by the opposition.
The President at once grasped the sit
uation, and expressed his regrets at the
repeated defeats which had upset the
generals ambition.
"Now, whenever you get tired of the
place." continued the general, "Pll re-
lieve you"
The President said he was tired already.
"Well, reckon I'd better take hold at
once" said the general.
The President told him that there was
no necessity for hurryiDg in the matter,
and advised him to wait until he was
regularly elected, and to this the general
after some demur, consented.

Three American ladies travelling

Three American ladies travelling for
pleasure in France, were recently lille
gally arrested by French officials, and
thrown into prison upon the misrepre-
sensations of dressmaker at Nice.
The arrest was thoroughly without war
rant, and an outrage upon these ladies.
We are glad to notice that Mr.. Blaine
has taken cognlzance of the case, and
that Minister Reid will cause thorough
investigation to be made of the facts.
As contemporary pertinently remarks
thousands of Americans have gone to
Paris to see the exposition, and no
places, it is said, are to be had in any
of the steamers sailing between now
and June 10 out of New York. The
legitimate expenditures of American
travellers abroad will supply fat pickings
enough to satisfy ordinary greed. Our
government can do no less than see to
that the people and the prisons are
used to enforce unjust demands on
herican citizens.

Commissioner Tanner on Saturday
last made an important decision by
which soldiers OF the late war who lost
an arm or leg, either or both having
been amputated close to the body, will
hereafter receive pension at the rate Of
S72 per month, instead of $50. The
law has heretofore been so construed
by the Pension Office that soldiers mu-
tilated in the manner described could
not receive greater sum than $50 pei
month. The matter was ably and fully
argued by attorneys for the class Of
pensioners affected, after listening to
which the Commissioner decided that
the loss of leg above the knee and Of
an arm above the elbow was greater
disability than the loss of those men,
bers below the knee or elbow, and,
therefore, the sufferers were entitled un-
der the law to the maximum amount OF
pension.

We tell you day by day and
week by week of the goods we
have for sale, of the attractions
of the store, of the convenient
ces offered to enable you to do
your buying comfortably and
easily. If you can come to the
store all these await you. Bit
yen can e1yoy them 5uth0ut
coming.
You and the store are nearer
together to-day than ever be-
fore-your wants and its power
to supply. You can au7tc for
what you wish and be served
as we'll as if you came.
The how-to-do-it is here told.
There is an important and
carefully organized department
of our business, employing
hundreds OF people, which de-
votes its energies to filling or
ders by mail from out-ot-town
customers. 1t is entirely indie
pendent OF the regular selling
force of the house, and as far
as possible is meant to repre-
sent the customer and the in
terests of that customer. PEG
pie who are trained in the quail
tiles and values of goods-ex-
pert shoppers. in fact-take in
hand your written order and go
from counter to counter select
ing the goods required, just as
you would do if buying from a
list you had made. All posi-
Bile care is exercised that the
article selected shall be just
what the writer asks for.
Of course there are occa-
sional misunderstanding and
delays sometimes occur because
we may not have the exact ar
ticle wanted and must get it or
have it made, or because Gus
toners fail to be explicit, even
to the omission of quantities,
colors. and sizes. Taking the
many hundreds of daily orders
into consideration, however,
these are few indeed.
But to order clearly and sat
isfactorily you must know the
goods and their prices. Hence
the General Catalogue of the
store, issued Spring and Fall,
containing carefully compiled
lists of articles kept for sale,
with their price, Illustrated
wherever possible.
In the Catalogue you have
spread before you for your
choice the stocks of more than
6rtp stores and so conven-
iently arranged and indexed
that you can find any article in
an instant. That's more than
most shopkeepers can do even
in their own shops.
If you wish that Catalogue,
ask for it. A postal card re-
quest is enough, but be sure
to give your name and address.
The book will come by return
mail, without cost to you.

delivered an address OH Prohibition this
evening in the Presby terian Church,
Shippensburg, the only local option town

was, Indifference manifested in matters

1000 persons were in attendance to hear
him. The whole Cumberland Valley is

In country paper, the other day,
there was horse offered for sale, the
owner of which described him % IAN
honest horse" Why not7 An hon.
est man is one who means and tries
to render an equivalent for what he
receives. Cannot horse do the same?
A horse receives from an honest
owner, food, shelter, protection and
care. He enjoys safer and longer
life than he would have been able TO
achieve for himself In state of nature
on the western plains. No buffalo
CORES, no catamount springs upon
him, no cyclone blows him into an
abyss. He does not wallow in excess
i've plenty in June, nor starve to q
skeleton in February and, as to the
work he does, he loves Il. Deprive q
healthy horse for three days of his
accustomed work, and he Ii half wild
with ecstasy when he Is put to II
again.
An honest horse Ia one that renders
an equivalent for his oats, his stable,
his safety and his grooming. That
equivalent IL fair days work, done
with willing and intelligent obedience
to lawful commands.
The Latin word, hOnestds, from
which we derive our English word,
honesty" did not mean honesty in
the early ages OF Rome. 1t meant
honor, reputation, credit, respecta-
bility. But, as 1t Is the practice of
honesty which gives honor, Cicero at
length used the word kOnestas as
synonymous with virtus, which meant
manhood. An honest man is simply
whole man! A dishonest man is
one who Is weak and deficient.
The detective records show US that
the great majority of the defaulters,
who have stolen millions Of dollars
during the last eight years, were mis-
erably weak and foolish men, led
astray by the low appetites or trivial
vanities. The wardens of our prisons
tell us, too, that the typical rogue is q
trifling, foolish person, often amiable
and even well-disposed, but lacking In
manly force, resolution and patience.
All confirm Cicero In his assumption
that honesty is another name for
wholeness and sufficiency.
The farmer, therefore, was justified
in selecting this word when he wished
to convey the idea that his horse
would answer the reasonable expecta-
tions OF q purchaser. He who would
remain honest must become manly
and resolute, keeping his wants few
and reasonable, his desire moderate and
under control. Nothing weakens
character 80 surely or 90 fast as indul-
gence in any kind of lawless pleasure.
