Some Mean Men,

An exchange says: ga man who
kicks his wife out of bed on cold
winter morning when the thermometer
is twenty degrees below zero, to build
a fre is mean man. A church men,
ber who is worth $1OO, 600 and pays his
preacher only one dollar year is a
very mean cuss, with whom the angels
will never desire to associate. A man
who will live two weeks on soup made
from two horn buttons is mean and
niggardly creature, on whom the devil
will never care to feast. The man
who will beat his child for poking its
finger in pail of water and enquiring
what became of the hole when it took
its finger out is very mean man.
The man who lOafs on the street corner
for the sole purpose of making remarks
about the ladies who chance to pass by
is one who ought to be stretched up by
the heels till that part where the brain
ought to be is filled with blood. But
the meanest man the Lord ever let live
on the face of the globe, is one who
will refuse to take his paper out of the
pOstoffice when he ows two OF three
dollars for back subscription"

He Didn't Mind Pain.

A little fellow of about 13 years,
named Moran, went into Taney's drug
store yesterday IN company with three
other boys, with look of much i'm
portance on his face. One of our phy-
sicians was there, and the boy went up
to him and said: Say, doctor, / fell
off from carriage up here and my
arm went under me and / hurt il"
The arm referred to was being carried
in his other hand. As he spoke he
held it up for the doctor to look at it
The little fellow was told that he had
broken his arm very badly, and his
only reply was to turn to his compan-
ions and ask: Say, feller, didn't /
tell We l more than hurt it?" Then
the fracture was reduced. He made
no sign of pain and said nothing dur
ing the operation. When the split was
on the limb. he looked up and remark
ed: Say, doc, how much is that going
to cost a feller?''-Bdnger Commercial.

To The Ladies,

Mrs. Laura M. Johns, president of
the Kansas Equal Suffrage association.
issues an address to the women voters
of Kansas. Our municipal elections
will be held this year in cities of the
first and second class on April I'd; in
cities of the third class, on April 1, and
those dates seem long way off now,
but they'll be here doubtless before we
are fully ready for them. Many of the
failures of women to elect the candi-
dates of their choice, OF to carry GER
tain measures in the two municipal
elections, in which women have partici-
pated, were the inevitable consequence
of beginning late with the preparatory
work. It is time now to begin to make
plans for the coming election. and to
devise means for putting those plans
into execution. Mrs. Johns urges the
duty of registering. 1.-The books are
now open. DO not postpone the mat
ter. Register now, SO that in any emer-
gency you will not be prevented from
voting because your name is not Writ
ten in the book. Go to the city clerk s
office at once and register

Our Navy.

Under Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ti0n, the foundation has been laid for
one of the best Eavies in the world, and
it will no doubt continue to be the
policy of the government to carry on
the work of building it up. In the
earlier years of his administration, Mr..
Jefferson's prejudice against standing
armies extended to the navy, but he
recognized his mistake before the close
of his second term, and from that time
on the democratic party addressed it.
self to creating and maintaining navy
sufficient to cope with any European
power. The navy of 1872 was con-
structed hastily to meet an emergency;
it was formidable, and the country has
never been contemptihle as a naval
power except when after modern inven-
tion had converted its civil war navy
into junk, the republican party squan-
dered the money that should have been
used to replace it. The reform that
began after the democrats regained
control of congress has resulted in
several powerful vessels of the best
modern design, fitted for both offence
and defence, and these will be added to
fast enough if the Sc, ,OOO, 900 year ap-
propriated for naval construction is
wisely expended.

NUMBER IS.
ACommon-sense Duchess.

The late Duchess of Sutherland
was, during the active period of her
life, the cause of no little bewilGer-
ment and disquietude among the rank
revering deuizens of that aristocratic
section of st. James where Stafford
House stands in gloomy grandeur.
Her cOmmon-Sense methods or secur-
ing convenience, without regard to
ceremonious formalities, often startled
the devoteeS of conventionalitv and
thrilled the observers with, ,anxiety lest
her Grace be led astray BY the example
of her husband, whose "fad" it was To
mingle with the populace on exciting
occasions, such as midnight fires and
riots like that of Hyde Park some
twenty years ago. Ridiculous as it
may seem to republican readers, the
Duchess was severely criticised for her
habit of walking forth alone from her
sombre mansion and calling cab
when in a hurry, instead of letting n
half-hour GO to waste while the cum
berson vehicle appropriate to her
station should be made ready.
The entire precinct was once thrown
into a flutter by the report doubtless
correct, that she had personally
entered the little bakery in st. James
street, il which postal agency was
established, and had there purchased
stamps and affixed them to her letters,
precisely as one of the untitled multi
tude might have done.
In the winter of 1869 the sentinel
who mounts guard over the palace
wall of Cleveland row had the oppor-
tunity of relieving his dreary routine
by saving child from being run over
"a radical cab-horse from Pail Mall
having so forgotten the properties as
to break loose and endanger human
life. as well as the drowsy tranquility
of that solemn region. A day or two
latter the Duchess was seen to stop
and speak to the guardsman, who was
so overcome by agitation that he could
hardly hold his rifle steady. He would
have faced the cannon'S mouth with
less trepidation than exchange ten
words with this exalted peeress. The
presumption was that her Grace de-
sired simply to say kind word in
commendation of the mans behavior;
but the proceeding was regarded with
anything but approval by the resident
spectators. The verdict of the austere
middle class throughout the neigh bor-
hood was that the Duchess had been
reprehenslbly unmindful of the dignity
of her position. and that she would
have done better to send the soldier
half crown by her footman. For
this and similar reasons she was not
admired by the bourgeoisie of London.
And yet there are people on both sides
of the Atlantic who profess to wonder
that the social sensibilites of Americans
and Englishmen cannot at ali points
be brought into sympathetic and
symmetrical aceord.-New York Tri-
