KEEP CLEAR OF IT.-We notice some
cheap printing on the wall to announce
the fact that Welsh & Golfers circus
will appear in our town on the 18th
No representative of the show has
called at this office to secure advertis.
ing or printing or to leave the usual
free tickets. We are therefore satisfied
that 1T is snide concern and should be
given the cold cut. A show of any sort
which sneaks past a newspaper office

so treated, Let no one sink his man.
hood by patronizing Welsh & Collier.
LATER-Since the above was in type
we have received a call from Mr..
George De Vol, the handsome, accom-
plished and liberal-minded agent OF
this circus. He left fifteen tree tickets
with us, contracted for a column ad.
and gave us the printing of 1900 date
lines. The circus, as we are happy to
state, is one of the best in the country,
and we trust that every man, woman
and child for twenty miles around will
turn out to patronize it.
WE Took WATER. The old imbecile
who publishes the dish-rag journal
down the street is out this week in a
scare-head article relating to US. 1t
is in relation to that little affair at
Yancey's one night last week. The
dish-rag says we played the part of a
coward, and advises that we be treated
with contempt. Let US explain. We
dropped into Yancey's gambling house
to pick up few subscribers. We ran
across Bill Thomas, Familiarity known
as Shoot ou-Dead William, and the
first think we knew he had a revolver
at our nose and was asking US to take
back something. We hadn't a clear
idea of what he wanted US to retract,
but we took back every thing we could
think of, and we weren't over two min
utes about it, either. When man who
has made it his practice of killing fifty
two men every year for the last twenty
years has the drop on US we are going
to take water every time, and do it
gracefully, too. Ii that's the part of a
coward, then the dish-rag has hit us
right.
THERE IS A CHANGE. Some of our
old pioneers boast that they are i'm
pervious to civilization, and that phil
anthrophy and sentiment have found
no lodging place here. And yet we
can see that change is going on de-
spite these boasts. The other night
when the boys caught Comanche Bill
and got ready to pull him up to cot
tonwood, half dozen of the crowd in
terfered and demanded to know the
reason why he was being lynched. 1t
was duly explained that he was a
worthless kuss who was a barnacle on
society, and that the boys hadn't had
any fun for several weeks, and yet that
hanging didn't go off. The crowd was
made to let Bill off on his promise that
he would skip the town or go to work.
A year ago he would have been hung
without word of inquiry or protest.
We believe that the mawkish sentiment
of the East is creeping this way, and
that it will, in time, upset our most
sacred institutions. - Detroit Free

Johnny on the Wasp.

A wasp is a six legged bird that lives
mostly in trees and under the caves Of
barnes, and you can not tain him; he
is too busy. Never stroke his fur the
wrong way, because it makes him mad,
and when wasp is mad 1 don't want
nothin to do with him. He has what
they call "a singer" and when he goes
out stingering, boys must keep away
from him. leaned up agin one once

There has beerfmuch written OF late
about the drummer as an educational
institution and when one thinks OF the
different business methods obtaining
now from those Of fifty years ago,
there seems to be something in 1t. In
the old time the country retail mer-
chant visited the big city once or twice
year, saw the new styles and learned
of progress that had been made in his
line; had a sort of semi-annual fresh
ening of his wits as it were. Now some
visitor from a big city calls upon him
every week and tells him all there is to
know. He has the advantage, too, OF
his grandfather in getting his informa-
ton not from one source of supply,
but from n dozen. The brightest men
in the business are his instructors and
they come from everywhere. The
modern storekeeper sees the product,
in sample, of every factory in the
country and new ideas are almost
forced upon him. He owes much to
the instructive drummer, Shoe and
Leather Reporter.

should make it plain TO the dullest
mind that good conduct is the indis.

That all "felonies" should incur shis
penalty is not at all clear; many of

against them, nor should the opening
OF it be left to executive clenency
The felon's record, in prison, should
determine whether he may, after
space, be restored TO full political
privileges. But there is one class of
crimes for which the laws of many Of
our States do not entail any political
disabilities, which ought to be pun
shed everywhere by the final forfeit

crimes against the suffrage Itself
bribery, both in the briber and the
bribed, fraudulent voting, the falsi-

one convicted of one of these crimes

moral obtuseness on this point which
is positively grotesque, provide that

COMMODORE PORTER.
How the Famous Sea- Dog wooed and Won
His Lovely Wife.

How the Famous Sea-Dog Wooed ana won
His Levely Wife.
Commodore Porter, the father OF the
present Admiral. had a most romantic
marriage. He made q reputation at
the age of twenty-six, and had become
a commander after only eight years Of
service. He had shown himself a
brave man in our war with Tripoli,
had been imprisoned and was now back
in the United States ON service at the
navy yard at Washington. Here he
met very pretty young lady, Miss
Evelina Anderson, the daughter Of a
wealthy Congressman from Pennsylva-
MIA. When Commodore Porter met
her she was playing with doll, for
though she was ia society she was
only fifteen years Of age. He fell in
love with her at first sight and asked
her hand, and was referred by Com
modore Tingey to Mr.. Anderson, her
father, who was at his home at
Chester, Pa. Commodore Porter hur-
ried at once to Chester. but the family
had been appraised of his coming and
were prepared 10 give him a fiat re-
fusal. They did not consider him, a
poor naval officer, a suitable match for
their daughter, AMI Miss Anderson's
brother was deputed TO receive the
audacious sutton and give him his
walking papers. When Porter made
his appearance he was shown into the
parlor, whore young Anderson met him
and asked him his business in freez-
ing tone. Commander Porter replied
that he wished to see Mr.. William
Anderson in relation to his daughter,
and that he could not communicate
what he had to say to any one else but
him.
"Sir," said the brother. "you have
come on FOOLS errand. My father
can not see you and you can not marry
my sister or be connected with this
family"
The Commander jumped from his
chair, his eyes flashing fire. "Sir!" he
'you are meddling in a
matter that does not concern you. |
came here TO marry your sister. did
not come to marry you, and confound
you, II you do not leave the room l
will throw you out OF the Window"
The young gentleman was quite
taken aback. He sought his father,
and told him that there was practi-
man down stairs who in
sisted upon marrying his sister. He
was certain that the man would cut
every body's throat, II he did not get
her, and he washed his hands of the
matter. The result was that after
weeks acquaintance all the family took
a great liking to the would-be bridge
groom, and the required consent was
given to the marriage. The two were
married on May TO- 1903. and Mr.. An
derson gave them a very handsome
residence on the banks OF the Della
ware, as wedding present. This
house, though erected in 172l, is still
and its massive stone walls
are In good preserv alton. 1t is in the
possession OF the family to-day

Mary Queen of Scots.

That Mary wore false hair, and OF
many different colors, there is every
reason to believe. Elizabeth Is
known TO have had collection of
eighty wigs, aud her dear cousin,
with the unusual advantages of SO
many seasons In Paris, is not likely
to have been far behind her. Among
the statement Of the accounts of her
personal expenditure are numerous
items of perruques de cheveux, and
Sir Francis Knollis, writing TO Bur-
leigh of the ever faithful Mistress
Mary Seton, the finest busker, that is
TO say the finest dresser ofa woman's
head of hair that is TO be seen in any
country" says, "And among the pref
ty devices she did set such curled
hair upon the Queen, that was said
to be perewyke that showed very del
icately. Aud every other day she
hath new device of head.dressing,
without any cost, and yet setting
forth woman gayle we'll" This
variety and eccentI lefty of couture
naturally adds to the confusion, and
makes greater the difficulty in identi-
flying positively any of the portraits
or descriptions of her. Historians
say that her mother was tall and
beautiful, that her father was Dig
nified, having a fair complexion aud
light hair; aud other aud contempo-
raneous historians say that she in
herited most of the characteristics of
her parents, "being about The ordi-
nary size, with fair complexion and
Grecian features, and nose some
what longer than painter would
care 10 perpetuate; her face was
oval, her forehead high and fine. !"
Froude, in latter days, pictures her as
graceful alike in person and in intel
leci, and as possessing that peculiar
beauty in which every painter has
represented differently; and Bran
tome, one of the ancient chroniclers,
summingit all up in one flue sentence,
describes her at her marriage to the
dauphin as being "more beauteous
and charming than a celestial god
desc"
"An angel is like you, Kate; and
you are like an angel" was very
pretty speech for Shakspere's Henry
V. to make to the French kings
but it gives us of to-day no
better notion of Katherine's beauty
than do all the composite portraits by
painters and historians of the won
drous loveliness of the Queen of
Scots.-Laurence Hutton, in the Cen
Jury for February.

AFTER THE VICTORY.


Joy Its Fruits In Case OF Success.
All sorts of races are being run in
this energetic world of ours. Some are
striving for money, some tor place and
power, some for rank or name or APP
plause, some for promotion in business,
some for excellence In art or science
or literature. But there is vast diff
ference in the spirit with which the
striving is done. just as in the race,
the vim and energy of each runner is
brought out by that of his competitor,
30, in the manifold exertions of the
world, the powers and faculties OF men
md women are constantly sharpening
md strengthening each other by hon.
orable contest. Not all contest, how
ever, is honorable. Much OF the effort
made is simply TO get ahead OF some
one else, at all hazards and in every
way; II not by fair and honest en-
deavor, then by trickery and unfair adj
vantage. He who amasses wealth,
not as an equivalent return for
value given, but by under
hand dealing, or oppression OF
the poor, or gambling on high or
low scale, has been engaged In no
honorable competition. He who climbs
into power, not by proving himself the
'fittest man TO WELD it, but by pushing
others down and crowding them out.
desecrates the name of emulation. The
first object in all effort must be excel
ence. II that be absent the attempt to
rise above others is mean and dis
honorable. Let competition be re-
spected only when the endeavor is to
give to the world the best labor OF
head or hand. When this is done, or
rs far as it is done, the giver may
rightly rejoice in the high rank he
holds among the workers Of the world;
but elevation by any other means is
not an honor, but disgrace. An
other difference between honorable and
competition is the con-
duct of victor to the vanquished. Some
men rise above others only to crush
them, others lift and exalt-them. Some
boast with noisy triumph and scorn
those who arc left behind; others,
like the child in the story, have
"a way of making people feel
