you to go to your druggist or dealer in
toilet articles, and purchase bottle of
Vail Brothers Ideal Tooth Powder, the
best made. AS an inducement for you
to try it, we give you handsome engrav-
ing with two 25 cent bottles, COX 81, I

Remarks OF an Un brclla.

"I think this il crowding the
mourners Il triiie too far. Rain,
rain, rain! / haven't had day of
for six months and here 1t goes
again! Just hear it ripping up the
shingles and banging ut the Win
dow. 1t rains every day, even on
Sundays. But thank goodness, !
don't have to 20 to church when it
rains, and that's some comfort.
rheumatism! ! should say so!
Every rib in me aches, and consid-
cring the number of them that are
broken, the wonder is that ! am
alive to tell it. Even the rack in
the hall where | am thrust drip
ping wet every night has II 'crick'
in its back.
"This outdoor life will be the
death of me yet, am sure. And
yet no one seems to care COnti-
mental diameter for what becomes
of me. Office work is what agrees
hest with me-something quiet
and sedentary-but it's mighty lit
tie of it | get to do. Sometimes |
come into the Office drenched to
the skin and before | am half dry
some loafer comes in and borrows
me. l wish some patriot would
have II law passed making it a PEN
al oAense to borrow an umbrella,
and then perhaps l would have
half Il chance for my white alley
There would be an almighty sight
of justice in such a law, because
the man who borrows your UNI
brella virtually steals it anyhow,
and therefore would richly deserve
his fate.
"Here l go, forced to expose my
self in all sorts of weather, and per-
haps at the very time when i need
recovering the most. These high
winds are terrible. Only yester-
day 1 was caught out in a wind
storm and turned inside out before
whole street full of people. Ever
been turned wrong side out by the
wind? Well, you don't know what |!
you have missed.
81 wish the ladies would not use
me quite 50 much to pound the |
men with. 1t seems to me that n |
woman regards an umbrella as an |
ideal weapon, whereas it is not. / |
hate aWfully TO be mixed up in |
these low street broils, too. And |
what makes me hot in the collar is
that l usually come out of these
'disgraccful affairs smashed to
smithereens, while the man isn't
hurt particle. Why don't she
take a Club?
81 suppose it is expecting too
much of the people of this genera
tion to ask them, in heavens name
to carry me in respectful and dig
nified fashion. This thing of grab
bing me around the waist and saw
ing me through the air as you walk
along the street is also something
that Congress should take hold Of
/ have manned and crippled hun
dreds, yea, thousands, of nice peo-
pie, and yet am not to blame. AS
for the profanity have excited
o Beelzebub, how much you owe to

we'd better ask him to perform, the

would think it an insult if ! should

Experienced dame--I thought so
mt first, but | see now that I was
mistaken. Most of the couples are
only engaged.
Why, how ca" you tell the diff
ference SO quickly?
Where couple are engaged, my
dear, the gentleman looks after the
comfort of the lady; when they are
married the lady looks after the
comfort of the gentleman.
The young boy is terror when
he has an inquiring mind. Such a
boy strolled into the editors room
the other day and proceeded to
down the patient man at the desk.
Are you on the paper? asked the
boy.
Yes.
What do you do?
Write for it.
Write all the time?
Yes.
Don't do anything else?
No.

10 something and then write about !

Yes.
H'm! calculated the small boy, |
with look of deep disgust, as he
walked off.

bers, it's respectability, snd the very cir
cumstances that brought you together.
You have come here to strike determined
blow against that enemy Of the whole
world. This great movement in America
owes its character and its aggressive on
ward movement to one whose character is
restless and determined, His Eminence,
James Cardinal Gibbons. Though the
ocean may separate us, we Catholic priests

L0UDK.0F L. MURMURS
A DISGRUNTLBD KNIGHTS ASSAULT on
THB MANAGEMENT.
Hs Declares That The Great Order IS Falling Into
Dscay-Sensatonal Statements About Less
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
Local Branches

ATLANTA, GA, November IA dis
gruntled Knight who is attending the an
nual convention here, says; "The actual
membership of the order ia studiOusly
kept in the back ground, and bat few, if
any, OF the delegates who do not stand
hard by the throne have any idea of its
strength, nor can it be ascsrtsined with
any degree Of exactness.
81 heard a Minnesota delegate say that
10 his State the order had decreased from
5000 to 800 in the past year, and VISA
on the verge of bankruptcy. Another del
egate from the West said publicly, in the
National Hotel corridor, that in Nebraska
the order bad gone to locality Of whOse
existence Beecher once expressed grave
doubts. Ia the eastern part Of the State,
he said, few assemblies existed, but in
the western portion they had sall either
lapsed or gone into tine Farmers Alliance
In Chattanooga the Order is a mere
eegahsil, only one or two assemblies being
in existence, snd they are very weak. Ia
this city the Order is also weaker than
year ago. In Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mis-
souri, it is admitted by delegates in con-
versstion with one another that there has
ben 60 increase, and in many instances
considerable falling of in membership, and
the particular locality in which the in
crease of nearly 100, 000 claimed by some
OF the general officers occurred, is what is
puzzling the brains OF some Of the dele
gates.
"The official report of the General Sec
ratary Treasurer places the membership
at 213. 600 on July last. At Indianap-
oils 1t was given at 259, 600, which shows
= decrease of 46, ,OOOin the past y,ar. II
there has been an increase of 100, 600, il ia
argued, the membership one year ago must
have been only $4,000 Figures some.
times lead 20 curious conclusions and
sometimes to none at sll, and inst where
to doyetail this little matter OF lO0, 600 in
crease pronounced by come Of the general
officers few weeks ago would entitle the
finder to the entire bakery"
In conclusion this disgruntled Knight
said "The State Assembly Of West Vir-
ginia is too poor to bear the expense OF q
delegate, while D. A. 1877, at Bellaire, has
lapsed."
