out of the militia fund through an

How the Pages Make Money.

The pages Of the capitol have so perfected
the science of securing the autographs OF
members that an energetic boy on the door,
keepers payroll can get the names of from
100 to 100 members per day, depending
somewhat upon the character Of the business
that at the time is occupying the attention OF
the house. If the matter under discussion
Is of character that occupies general atten-
ton, the autograph fend cannot ply his
nefarious calling, because the members will
not permit themselves to be interrupted. If
however, the enterprising page starts out on
a day devoted to private measures or distinct
legislation, or something else in which the
statesmen take no interest or have no con-
Germ, he will wind up with half the members
of the house enrolled. Washington Post.

A spook with an Umbrella,

Marion, small town few miles south Of
here, is revealing in a spook sensation. The
haunt of tho apparition is q dwelling owned
by Mrs. De Long and occupied by the family
of John Spangler. One night recently two Of
Mrs. Spangler's children saw the form of a
man, carrying an umbrella, moving to and
fro in the back yard. The rest of the family
were notified and watched the shape until it
dissolved in air. On the following morning
the spot where the ghostly visitor appeared
was examined and hollow like q sunken
grave was found, Since then the apparition
has appeared almost every night, and dozens
of people have seen it. The appearance OF
the spook is heralded by a rumbling noise and
n rafting of doors and windows that fright
ems the inmates Of the house. Much excite
ment prevails in the town.-Chicago News.

The very fact that we license the
saloon justifies the business, and
places the liquor traffic on the same
plane occupied by the grocery, dry
goods and any and all mercantile
business. II it is business that
has the right to exist we have no
right, founded in justice, to tax it
with an exorbitant license. fit has
a right to exist it has right to a
just rate of taxation in proportion
to the capital invested, the same as
other lines of merchandise. 1t will
claim the right to evade the law that
unfairly discriminates against it.
High license is unjust in principle
and the liquor trade is wrong in
practice, and these two eyils put to-
gether do not make right but far
greater wrong in practice, and the
penalty is paid by the public where
ever it exists.

BuV at Home.


A curious fellow calling himself
Curiosity" has been housing round
and discovered that manures for the
Almshouse farm had been bought
last year from a Philadelphia firm.
Straight way he goes to the Cecil
Democrat and telephones for the
reason why this was thusly. Be-
cause the Philadelphia stuff was
cheaper or they thought it better
will probably be the answer when
the fellow at the other end Helloos
back. These are popular reasons
but not sound reasons under the cir.
cumstances. There cannot be much
difference in the price of fertilizers.
Competition keeps them 80 nearly
together in this respect as to make
the difference in price hardly worth
mentioning, Whether one is better
than another is not question of
merit in The fertilizer if the analysis
is honestly Civ en-; and in this res
pect as between the home aud for
eign factory we would risk the home
company every time. They are all
known to be first class men, (the for
eigners may be also) but even if any
cheating in the mixtures is anticipat.
ed they are at hand to be made an
swer if detected. But it is not q
matter of difference in quality of the
fertilizers but of constituents in the
soil to which they are applied.
The efficiency of constituents in the
soil should be furnished in the
manure or no advantage will be de-
rived by the crop, it matters not
how intrinsicalIy valuable the fer
tilizer may be, who knows what con.
stituent parts of the thirteen which
make up the straw and grain of
wheat, the Almshouse farm lacks?
If that is known any of our home
factories would mix by the formula
required and furnish the product as
cheap as it could be made any where.
AS the case stands it is on'y guess
wok in buying fertilizers and the
home establishment should always
be given the preference. Buy at
home or the nearest to home when
ever possible even though you may
some times pay little more. 1t
strengthens business which is with
in reach of your own business and
the reaction will come back and be
felt by you. But you send the
money away, out side of connection
there is no reciprocal action. 1t is
loss of substance that must be re.
placed from undeveloped wealth that
should be used in building and ex-
banding in place supplying deficit
that has been made by capital
sent beyond the sphere of your bust
ness. Keep your capital within
reach by buying as near to home as
possible and it will have a shorter
road to travel in getting back to you
again. This is business maxim
that ought to be constantly kept in
view but is overlooked by all most
every one. If we send away for
every thing we use or want we
would soon find no body at home
able to buy what we had to sell.
