Philadelphia Times (Deml
And now that the Republican leaders
and expectants have won ali the federal
offices which have any important patron
age, what will the harvest bel Will tho
party be more inspired, more harmonious,
more successful! Possibly so; probably
not. The federal patronage rent the
Democracy into fragments. and it is not
improbable that it will perform the same
Office for the Republicans. There are fully
five thousand party workers vino expect to
get into the postofice, and it is a moderate
estimate that five thousand more expect to
be provided for in the mint and the Gus
tom-house offices. Not one in ten will sue
coed, and every appointment made will
create ten times the number of disappoint-
ments. Next will come the inevitable con-
tiicts of leaders which lave left the Democ-
racy in chaos, and when the full fruits of
the federal patronage are summed up the
history of the Democracy will pretty GER
tainly repeat itself on the Republican side.
But the leaders will have it so; so it must
be until the smash comes. and it will surely
come unless the uniform experience of
modern politics shall suddenly reverse
itself.

Congressman S. j. Randall and his

deeds in their political careers.

Washington. 1t has high-schools, a State

The Dust Nuisanes.
fGlobe-Democrat Book Review

AS the purpose of the writer is to Law
before her readers some of the odds and
ends of nature, the plan of the work is
somewhat rambling, running by easy
gradations from one subject to another
and dealing with the popular phrase of
each. The dust of the house first at

ing her feminine detestation of dust in
any form. Where the dust comes from
ts often wonder to honsekeepers, who
lind that no matter how carefully the
house be kept, the dust will accumulate
as mysteriously as fluff in vest pocket.
A visible way of accounting for the
dust on furniture is to trace it to the
last carpet sweeping, but this is only
one of the sources of house dust. Ii
comes from the ceilings, from the inn
perceptibly slow disintegration of the
walls, from the decay of the furniture,
from clothing, from human bodies, from
the plants and trees outside and even
from beyond the orbit of the earth, so
that portion of the dust on lady'a

earth from distance of untold millions
of miles. Various estimates have been
made of the amount of meteoric dust
daily deposited on the earth by the
meteors which are necessarily arriving,
and the total, while relatively small, ia
absolutely very large.

PRICE 5 CENTS.
AN OsDURATE OLD WOMAN. :
Collapse of an Incident Which Opened
Very PrOmisingly-A Disappointment.


Very Promisingly-AD Disappointment.
A rough bearded, red nosed, desperate
looking man; a shrill voiced, energetic
newsboy; an industrious old woman;
these three were brought together by the
fates with the evident intention of max
ing such an incident as would read well
if told in a Sunday school paper. But the
industrious old woman was obdurate, and
as she was woman the fates could not
help themselves and retired, leaving the
incident to develop itself as best it might.
So it happened thus: The scene was on
Park row, opposite the postoflice; the
man in the play, cold and hungry, ven
tured to beg assistance of a newsboy.
The boy knew what it meant to be cold
and hungry, but he knew also that he
must look out for number one.
''Just cent, buh, pleaded the desper-
ate man.
''Ten We wot it's" said the boy reflec-
lively, 81 can't give We no sugar, cause
I'm hard up myself, but I'll give We a
paper IN " en- see wot We en- do.'
The hungry man took up the paper and
before he could do or say anything the
boy added: "Why not try a trade ON the
old woman at the cookey stand?"
Together they approached the old
woman. She was seated on stool behind
her array of pastry. A coarse shawl was
wrapped about her shoulders and her fin.
gers were busy with knitting.
''Will ye give one of those for this
paper?" asked the man, abruptly, while the
boy stood by interested in the experiment
to the extent that he neglected his own
business. The cOokey vender looked up
with dlsdainful surprise. "Hoh?" she
said.
''Will you give me one of those or any
thing on the stand for this paper?'' re-
peated the man.
"Give him a cookey for The News"
chirpeG the boy.
The fates surely intended the old woman
to display great kindness of heart, to sym.
pathize with the unfortunate man, and
give him two cookies and let him keep his
paper as well, but she didn't do anything
of the kind.
"Phat's the good av yer paper to ne?"
she exclaimed scornfully; ''get along wild
de bot av yez or III carl cop, so now"
The man and the boy looked at each
other disappointedly. "YeTl have to sell
yer paper, boss,'' said the latter philo-
sophically. And the incident that opened
SO promisingly collapsed. The last seen
of the man he was trying to sell his one
paper as he walked along the row. The
old woman, who wasn't going to get
taken in by no suckers" had resumed
her knitting and the boy was exercising
his shrill voice.-"Uncle Bill'' in Chicago
