II is not always easy to understand
Just what a democratic critic means
when he hops onto the republican
office holder and administrator OF
public affairs. Corporal Tanner has
been damned from Florida to far
away Frisco for increasing the pen
sion lists of this country until in
creased taxation or ruinous deficit
stares this country in the face, and
the whole democracy have responded
yea, amen. Now comes into court the
New York Star, the most blue blood
ed of all the thoroughly, intensely
thorough bred democratic journals of
this land, and swears that the largely
increased bond purchases and in
creased pension expenditures have
failed to wipe out the surplus by S70,-
000,0 900. Not only is Uncle Sam pay
ing off the national debt more rapidly,
and Corporal Tanner meeting the just
expectations of the nation in caring
for its boys in blue, but the surplus is
maintained despite this. Somebody
must have Numbered awfully, and it
is not the Star. Uncle Sam will have
a navy, Uncle Sam is paying off his
war debt, Uncle Sam is increasing his
pension rolls, Uncle Sam is not in
creasing taxation and yet the surplus
remains. Uncle Sam must be getting
rich by natural increase.

not disturb the celestials on the other

Horses that are used on hot pave
ments or other situations which in
duce a hot, dry condition of the feet,
require special Treatment to palliate
the evil. This generally consists of
filling the concave sole and all the
SPACE within the shoe mt night with
some moist substance. The most usual
material for this purpose has for long
time been fr Ssh COW dung, either alone
or mixed with clay. While no one can
question the value of the practice, the
substance named is utterly unfit for the
purpose. Strangely enough, it is rec
commended by many eminent veteri-
nary writers, though all admit that it
IS IL fruitful source of thrush. One of
these, after stating that thrush is
caused by the horse standing in its own
dung or other filth, recommends wrap
ping with COW dung as a palliative.
Ano her, equally eminent, remarks that
it should be used with great caution
whore there is any disposition to thrush.
AS If there ever was q horse without
such disposition" if its feet are kept
in contact with filth. Professor Law
denounces the use of this substance
by implication in a sentence. He gives
as the causes of thrush, Exposure to
wet and filth; standing on dung or in
dirty, wet yard; stutling the feet with
COW dung" etc. Then why fill the feet
with the filthy, corroding stuff? \
clean and inoffensive material is made
by mixing linseed meal with an equal
part of clay and wetting the mixture
to the desired consisteuce This accom-
plishes the object, without danger of
unpleasant effects, says the american
.igriculttrist.

day laborers. No sooner was the lot
purchased than he made n contract
with a carpenter to put up fifteen by
twelve frame building upon it, slid
house to have two rooms, large one
in front and a smaller one in the rear
As soon as this arrangement was
made and the carpenter had begun

Several years before he had met a
small boy who was running errands in
a wholesale house. The boy was a son
of a friend of his, and he knew him
quite we'll. He was n genuine hoy, not

boy, a genuine fun-loving boy; vet
having been brought up to understand
that his living depended upon his own
exertions, he was steady i'll business.
For this boy Jack wrote, and pro-
posed that if he would come West he
Jack would pay his travelling ex-
penses and take him into partnership

boy should do the work and Jack

eight dollars month. One wear

boy found themselves possessed of
