Edwin A. Keellngsh. Secretary:
The Chicago Board Of Trade having
closed down on our quotations, we desire

are prepared to furnish quotations on Chi
cago, st. Louis and Gravesend races at the

the races offer superior inducements to get
rid OF your surplus cash. II you have any
conscientious scruples about the matter our
old reliable persuader, Mr.. jeremiah Mel
chisedech Mullinsld will call on you In a
few days and endeavor TO remove the
aforesaid scruples. MIR. Mullinski weighs
$50 pounds and has fist like the rear pro-
peller OF healthy mule. We are satisfied
he can convince you that horse racing is a
very moral and ediiying recreation. We
don't propose TO be run out OF the ring by
any snide Board Of Trade in one horse
town like Chicago, not much Petey! Please
answer at once, sooner il possible. Yours
excrutiatingly,

Republican omee-Hoiders In Arisansn.

From the Crnighead County lArk.,) sun.
The Globe Democrat, in one OF its venom
Gus attacks on the good people Of Arkan-
sas, says that no Republican is allowed to
hold even a school directors position in
the State. We take pleasure in bearing
testimony TO the falsity Of the statement
in the election OF Mr.. A. L. Krewson, a
former citizen OF the Republican end Of
the Government, aud who is an outspoken
Republican on all occasions, over an old
and much respected old resident, who has
been lifelong and dyed-in-the-wool
Democrat, by vote OF nearly three TO one
for school director in our city. IL Is true
that neither one Of the gentlemen sought
the place, but II is enough 10 give the lie
TO the charge.

A cluster of ten graves attracts the
eye of every one who visits the grave
yard at Griffin.
These graves and the legend above
them awaken an irresistible sense of
humor. At the heads of the five
larger graves stand plain marble slabs,
each being simply flOriated and bear
ing the name and age Of "My Wife"
The five little graves have small slabs
of the same design, each bearing the
name of child.
One husband has buried here his
five wives, and one father his five
children. By the side OF each mother
sleeps her child, and one husband and
one father buried them all.
lie said the reason he had the same
kind of tombstone placed over them
was his strict sense of impartiality.
lie had loved each wife alike, and no
one wife more than the other. No
later Rachel had surplanted Leah, and
he did not wish 10 show any Partially
in the matter of their graves.
The slabs are 80 arranged that the
first is that over the first wife, then
comes the headstone of the little
child grave: then the second wife and
the second little child. So that read
ing them in proper order you get the
following legend and moral:
My wife Mary. aged Is.
Little Simeon.
Ny wife Jane, aged 81.
Little Georgia
My wife Anna, aged q.
Little Birdie.
My wife Maria. aged ~
Little Ruth
Ny wife Betsy. aged %.
Little Hope.
He has buried the "little hope" he
had, but he was still marrying man,
and after being consOled he began
inquiring among the neighbors If they
knew of desirable woman, who
wanted TO marry.

Nat Goodwin Is telling a story
about town concerning the absent
mindedness OF Byron, the playwright.
A new play was running through the
dramatist's head as he was walking
through Pail Mall, when a friend
stopped him and said
al am in grief"
"What is it?" asked Byron mistily.
81 lost my father last week." said
the man.
"Too bad, too bad" said Byron,
with an air of absent sympathy every
sorry" Then he walked on and con-
tinued to think about his play.
Three weeks later he happened to be
again in Pail Mall, when the same
man came up to him and said:
"More misfortune"
"Eh?" said Byron, absently.
al have just lost my mother" said
the man lugubriously.
"Dear me 70 said the dramatist petu-
lantly. "You lost your father only a
little while ago. What an exceed
iDgly careless man you are"

A Table of National Fame.

Elizabeth Merritt Gosse, In Wide Awake.
happened to say in the Boston
Herald the other day that the table
upon which Abraham Lincoln signed
that wonderful deed, the proclamation
of emancipation, was now in the Office
of we'll known Boston lawyer, and
the editors of Vide Atcdke at once
thought that all their readers would
like to know about this historical
piece of furniture, and how il CHANGED
to come to Boston.
Ii happened in this wise: After
the death of President Lincoln, our
then vice president, Andrew johnson,
succeeded to Lincoln's place at the
head of the nation, and lived very
quietly in the White House during
the term of his administration but
when the Grants came to live in the
White House, four years after, they
thought ii necessary TO refurnish the
executive mansion, and in due course
of time the council chamber came
under the hands of the furnishers and
decorators. Much of the furniture
which had held a conspicuous place in
various rooms at the White House in
former times was sold at auction or
by private sale, and among the arti-
cles condemned either by the president
or by Mrs. Grant, who took great
interest in the refurnishing of her
home, was this interesting old table.
Judge f. II. Hoar, of Concord, Bos-
ton lawyer, and brother of Senator
Hoar, was President Grants attorney
general, and he bought the cabinet
table" and sent 1t to Boston, where Ii
now occupies conspicuous place in
his Office on Pemberton square.
The table itself is a very heavy
structure of mahogany, upholstered
with green baize, and was evidently
made to order for its position in the
council chamber of the executive man.
sion, for 1t is designed TO accommodate
eight persons, three on each side, one
at the head and one at the foot.
The table was placed in the White
House during the administration of
President Madison, SO that il has had
long and honored career as a cabinet
table; but in all its notable history,
the thing we like best to remember
about il is that upon it lay the procla-
nation of our beloved President Lin
coin, which, when he signed it, made
free a people who had been held in
bonds during the whole life of the
nation.

ONE OF MEMORY'S PICTURES.
BY BERENDA BLoUNT.


/ am often tired, gloomy, miserable
1t lie then a picture comes to me, a
picture that quiets my mood, that
soothes me like a masterful, gentle
hand.
1t was on an afternoon late in Octo-
Der that saw it. l was driving in
the country and stopped at pretty
brick farmhouse to inquire the way TO
a near village. Nobody responding to
my knock, | ran around 10 the back
door. The yard was swept as clean
as q floor for quite a space. A wild
grapevine hung picturesquely over the
little back porch, and on the stone
doorstep sat fat, motherly- looking
old lady Smelling corn in her apron for
the chickens.
What an innocent, kind old face it
was which looked up at me, Invol-
UNFAIRLY l felt ashamed of my distrust
of humanity. What picture of con-
tentment, of lonely comfort was that |!
A few yellow legged chickens had
crept under the fence between the
barnyard and garden and were stretch
ing their necks for any stray grain of
corn that might fall upon the ground.
A light wind shook the leaves in the
orchard near by. Altar on hillside q
flock of white sheep cropped the late
grass, and the bell-wether kept up a
continual tinkle as he moved about.
And there, in the slanting, golden
sunlight, in her chocolate calico gown,
hA oh nd 20
'kerchief, sat the little old mother
No distracting question of the outer
world tormented her.
She had never heard it limited that
marriage was failure.
She never dreamed that a widower
or widow might not marry again
without raising such a question as
"The Quick or the Dead"
She accepted, like child, the creeds
of her church, and never heard ofsuch
doubts as were the bane of Robert
EIsmerSs life. She knew a little
Just little-about tariff and protec-
ton, and was Republican because all
her "men folks" were. What turkeys
to kill for Thanksgiving, which of the
calves to wean and raise on skinned
milk, how many pairs of mittens to
knit for Christmas presents, and
whether her old man needed some new
socks, these were the worst disturbers
of her peaceful reflections.
Somehow the sight of her silenced
all the worry and trouble and care in
my heart.
To have passed over life's journey
for sixty years, and still possess such
peace, such honest eyes, such unspoiled
ways, was a possibility that filled all
my soul with thankfulness-with
hope. The influence of the scene, the
half smile in the wrinkled face, the
lazy wind in the orchard, the CLINT of
warm sunlight, the very chickens,
confident Of an early meal from the
checkered apron, will be with me
always.
Sweet, trustful, innocent old soul,
possessing what we all must have in
order to enter the kingdom-the sim
plicity of little child.

"Wsre to Die Tonight"
New York Graphic.

All poets or verse makers-for there
is vast difference between the two
should in future date their poems and
sign their names to them in full If
they want TO preserve the offspring of
their fancy. 1t would seem that no
sooner does poem get popular and
travel the rounds of the newspapers
than half dozen authors spring up to
claim 1t If il be anonymous. III. Rider
Haggard publishes in "Jess," sttribut-
ing it to his sister, the beautiful
poem, "Were l to Die Tonight"
which has been familiar to many in
the United states when Haggard was
a British government clerk in the
Transvaal and had written nothing
save red tape documents, and it is fair
to presume that his sister was in
trouserettes. Its authorship is claim
ed by Robert G. Meyer of Philadel-
phia now, and other poets to hear
from. 1t is over ten years ago since
the writer heard Dan OConnell, q
well known journalist and litteydteur
of San Francisco, quote at banquet
the lines
eff should die to night,
Then would'st thou call to mind, with loving
thought,
Some kiddly deed the icy hands had wrought,
Some tender words the frozen lips had said,
brands on which the willing feet had sped ,
The memory of my passion and my pride
And every fault would sure be set aside,
So should be forgiven of all tonight"
Rider Haggard was then utterly
unknown to fame. Who gave his
sisters poem then to the American
pressf
