The wife of G. w. Alexander, of
Honeybrook, Pa, purchased some
links of sausage and placed them on a
plate that covered a crock of pickles
in her cellar. She went down the cell
Jar to get the sausages to cook. She
had no light, but could see the plate
and the coil of sausages, as she sup
posed, by the dim light that the cellar
window gave. She reached down to
pick the sausages up, when she was
startled to see them uncoil and disap-
pear. She called for the servant to
come down with a light. When the
Light arrived Mrs. Alexander discoy-
cred a snake, about six feet long and
very chunky" Gravity slowly on the
cellar floor. She killed it. 1t had the
links of sausage inside of it. The
snake had swallowed the sausage, and,
finding the smooth plate pleasant to
lie on, had curled itself up to wait
until its supper digested.-San Fran

It's the same old story over and over
again. During the campaign in Novem-
Der the Sun in It's effort to capture votes
on The south side published a long edito
rial article showing the absolute necessity
for south side representation IN the city
that that section of the city had been
neglected by the Republicans, advised
that n suitable candidate be selected from
south of the track. and even went so far
as to name a representative nominee.
This sort of thing served its purpose dur
ing that campaign, and having done so,
like a good many other glib political
promises, 1t wa speedily forgotten. When
the time came to make nominations for
members Of the city council neither the
Republicans MOI the Sun thought for a
moment OF the people of the south side
and made their nominations without refer
eDce TO their interests.
The only representative the south siders
have ever had has been a Democrat. The
btthuSIa'H thia bthl put up ahothSi iCpIO
sentative south side resident, j. j. vii
son. He is a man who Is fully competent
TO represent any ward in the city with
ability, but he is particularly capable of
looking alter the interests OF the people in
the first ward. II the voters OF the south
side want a representative in the city coun
Gil it therefore behooves them to come to
Mr.. Wilson's support regardless Of poll
tics.
John L. Murray is a candidate for re-
election in the third ward. Alderman
Murray has made a competent and I'M
selfish representative OF the people of the
city. He has earned the honor of a re-
election by faithful work in the interest
of the city in the past and should be re-
turned by a big majority.

eyes, my profession in this city is a
new o. NOT an original idea strictly
with me, for in New York there are
several ladies in the high social life
there who, with limited means, do
Just as | am doing" The woman was
speaking TO a st. Louis Globe-D Demo-
crat reporter. She continued: "You

of an artist, not practically, but theo-
r~etically. / wa accustomed to wealth,
and my artistic taste was heightened
by European travel and observation

to me to utilize this gift, and my pro-
fession is now an open secret here to

less means who have the house deco

when a house is built the owner
sends for me TO arrange the interior. I
select the furniture, the draperies, the
bric-a-brac, in fact everything pertain
ing to the decorative part of the home.
1t very often happens that the owners
with plenty of money TO spend are alb
%solutely Invested of any ideas. So
they place everything in my hands.
Then, again, there are people only
comfortably enough situated to allow
a certain amount to be used for the
ornamentation of their home. l con-
form to both of these styles, very
judiciously, Of course. 1 select the
ceiling and wall designs, then the gas

everything with my own hands. 1t is
a work of fancy, but l do not limit my
charges, and 1 have a good income
from my arduous art work. There is
scarcely a handsome or artistic home
in this city which is not the result in
interior loneliness of my skill. OF
course it is sub rosa. Isimply sell my
taste and talent and to the master or
mistress falls all the credit of the ac-
complished beauty"

WTTn the retirement of Col. Daniel
Mcclure and the death Of Maj. Henry
Clayton the pay department of the army
is reduced to thirty.s six paymasters. Seven
casualties are still necessary to reduce the
number to the Organization called for by
the act of July 5, 1884. 1t is the desire
OF the war department tina. this act be
repealed and the number of paymasters
be fixed at thirty-five, in order that the
system of monthly pay may be extended
throughout the army. Little hope, how.
ever, is entertained of any legislation in
that direction during the present session.

Billy Madden, formerly trainer for the
Pettibone stable and well known among
Wyoming horsemen, reached the city
from the West Thursday evening with a
carload of brood mares and left for Denver
last night. Billy is now connected with
the Beckwith stables, near Evanston, and
is evidently wintering well. He is a good

Reducing the rurnIns

The disposition of the surplus In the
United States treasury engages the atten-
ton OF our statesmen, but IL more vital
has Jul attention, and that is the
reduction of the surplus consumptives.
Since the discovery and introduction Of
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there has been a marked decrease in
the mortality from this dreaded disease,
and It is possible to still further reduce the
number Of c~onsumptives, Howl By
keeping constantly at hand a bottle OF
DIR. Kings New Discovery and using
according to directions upon the appear,
ance of the first symptoms, such as a
cough, a cold. a sore throat, a chest OF
side pain; Taken thus carly a cure is
guaranteed, Trial bottles free at DR.. W.

Ross, of the territorial supreme court, who
affirmed the right of the counties of the
territory to levy taxes on railroad lands
and to sell the same where the taxes are
not paid, says the Omaha Bee. The
principle involved holds good in other
sections OF the country han Dakota where

This Is Very Fishy.

Mr.. G. II. Mock, who resides near
Cameron, says that Jarrell's lake, near
there, is the best place to catch fish he
has ever heard of. That when the
Dream are in a biting notion any one
can take a worm and rub it on his fin
ger and hold his hand in the water,
and that the fish will come up and
take hold of the finger, then by clos
ing the thumb down on its head it can
be taken in without any effort. This
can be repeated until you become
weary of the sport. Nothing could
Undue him to leave that section.-Syl-

EBB TIDE.

The tide slips from the harbor's mouth,
The rugged reefs stretch far away,
The tangled grasses lightly sway,
And n faint odor Of the south
Comes stealing In Rcross the bay.
The ships, like phantoms, lie asleepi
They wait the turning Of the tide,
And ere the dawn will safely glide
To the broad bosom Of the deep,
Beyond the surf's u~nceasing chide.
When In our hearts the tide Is low,
When blackened reefs OF old despair
Rise to our view, wi need not care;
The tide returns; at morn we go
To sunlit seas and skies more fair.
