NO EXCUSE FOR LIVING.

There are numerous parties abroad in this

For they have no excuse for living.

He never did take out hslicense to live.
The man in July. who inquiries "ain't it hot9"
Cant imagine why he should bore us any

The fool who drops nickels and dimes in the
slot

mundane sphere for any extended
The ass who, at intervals breaches and prates

Should make swift trip to the heavenly

THEY WANT REST.

There was pathos and suggestion, but
little strange, in the excuse the girl in
one of the cities left as the explanation
of her suicide. She had worked until
she was tired out and wanted to be laid
to rest. That is the wall of the toll
worn in all the ranks and times. They
want a perpetual cessation of the weari-
some activities of life. The hope of
that jaGed aud worn child of toll was to
pass into wakeless sleep. Theologians
may find universal longing for per-
petual existence, but all around the
paths of life are those who would gladly
lay down its burdens and surrender all
hopes Of perpetual activity in brighter
world, TO obtain rest. This is a weak
ness and not the confession of the brave
Ioul; but it is the frequent fact, though
got readily put Oh the lips. 1t is not

The Milwaukee Election.

La Crosse Chronicle.
The st. Paul GLOBE makes some re-
marks on the Milwaukee election that
have the broadest common sense in
them. The Chicago Herald should study
the institutions of the United States and
Democratic ideas of government before
it lectures Wisconsin Democrats so vol
ubly. The GLOBE makes one grave
mistake, however. 1t is not puritanism
that is behind such doctrine as the Mil
waukee Sentinel and its Don QuiX0te of
a governor lay down. That sort of
stuff is pure Republican paternalism.
The Puritans, whatever faults they
brought with them, as inheritances,
were wise enough to join in the declara-
ton that says "All men," not alone
men who speak the American Ian
guage," "are created equal"

ERICKSON is to have so much damage

Piling Up the Taxes.

The Mckinley committee seldom al
ows day to pass without piling up ad-
ditional taxes on some common neces-

ciaily great day for the committee. but
it managed to put up the tax on cotton
stockings about 80 per cent. They are
largely made Of foreign cotton that we

the break in all modern records for heat

CHIT CHAT.

1t is a rare thing for the presiding of
ficer of the senate to call quorum to
order at the hour of the daily meeting.
says the New York Tribune. In fact,
there are frequently not more than a
half-doZen senators present. Sena-
tors admit that it is re-
proach to the body thus to ignore the
only religious service in connection with
the proceedings, but nevertheless they
do not effect reform.
A few years ago senator offered
resolution to require the presence of a
quorum at the prayer, but the second
day after he himself failed to appear in
time. When the prayer had been deliv-
cred he entered the chamber wearing
somewhat of an air of embarrassment.
His delinquency was observed, and the
resolution became dead letter. This
ignoring of the prayer has grown to be
habit of the senate. When Judge
Davis. of Illinois, was president pro
tempOre he entered the chamber with
the chaplain one day and the only sena-
tor visible was Mr.. Butler, of South
Carolina. Judge Davis did not pause
an instant, but with all the soIemnity
and gravity usually observed by him Oh
such occasions, gave stroke with his
gavel and said:
THE senator from South Carolina
will come to order"
The summons was treated as jest
by the galleries and the pages Oh the
floor, but it was not so intended. The
presiding officer took that method of re-
buking the senate and of having his re-
buke go into the Record.

Harris theater on April 20. Season
tickets are now to be had at Dyer's and
are meeting with ready demand, as
purchasers find it convenient to secure
their seats for the entire course and

CHAPTER ".
light AFTER DARKNESS.


The next morning the sun is shinin
brightly, and the treacherouS sea is
calm and serene: 10 trace of last nights
tragedy disturbs is smiling waters. Far
out the fragments of boat can be seen
floating on the bosom of the ocean.
On the shore group of fishermen are
standing gazing down at something.
Three inanimate forms lie there, which
have been washed ashore by the cruel
waves.
This ere ones dead q week. reck-
on" one of the men said. gazing down
at Gertie Tremaine'S pretty dead face,
with look of horror never to escape
them.
"Yes, reckon so. too, mate. but we'll
do our level best, but these ere ones air
looking more lively" said the other man,
who with some of the women had been
trying TO awaken some life in the bod
les. But life is found to be quite eX-
tinct in Gertie's case, and the women,
with bitter tears, find resting place for
the body until her friends can be found.
After many efforts, however, Philip
Dorm and Kate regain consciousness,
but in after years the memory of that
awful night will be ever with them.
Further on down the coast Mabel
Northrop had been saved, but the rest
are lost, and only the cruel waves can
tell the story of their fate.
But in the dark hair Of Philip Dorm
that dreadful night of horror has made
TavageS, leaving many white hair.
For days, however, it seems that Kate
has been snatched from watery grave
only to fill an earthly one.
Helen has come on with her husband,
and for weeks Kate hoves between life
and death, but at last the tide turns
and she slowly RECEIVERS, until Helen
one day with tears of thankfulnesS tells
Philip that Kate will be down to-mor-
row.
Philip Dorm has stayed on, and now
he turns away his head. "What if his
waiting has been in vain?' he thinks
dreamily. Well, he can but wait
Kate is sitting in the front room Of
the cottage when Philip Dorm comes in
and holds out her hand to him. The
sight of K0te. so white and wan. has
unnerved Philip, and as he takes the
little hand in his he glances away to
hide tears which spring to his eyes.
Kate speaks at last. Il can never tell
you how much / thank you" she said
brokenly. 81 owe my life to you; and
L can never repay you"'
II do not want thanks Or gratitude.
Kate. You say i have saved your life,"
said Philip Dorm, passionately. Twill
yon entrust that life TO me for the fut-
ure? never meant TO ask you again;
but is it yes Kate?''
Rates face flushed and her head
dropped. ''If you care for it, Philip"
and here the girls overweight nerves
give way and she bursts into tears: but
Philips arms are around iler. his kisses
paSsiOnately pressed to her lips.
Helen comes in presently; but, when
she sees them, she goes out again softly.
with bright smile on her face.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-The wheat market to-
day was the narrowest of the week There
was less outside news than usual, less effort
TO advance prices and less pressure needed to
Keep the market down. Liverpool cables
were not so favorable, being q trifle lower for
futures. New York cleared no wheatand the
clearances at the other ports were moderate
Receipts here were about % ears over the
estimate at 81 ears. The unreasonable
weather appeared to be against active opera
TONS, although an expert was quoted as say
ing that the present conditions were favor
able to Hessian fly depredations. The cold
wave signal was hoisted at Minneapolis, but
ali signs tailed here. The local stock in
creases about 40, 900 bu for the week. and
the estimates on the visible supply range
from no decrease to 500 900 bu decrease
The principal selling was by Partridge. who
had several brokers offering wheat at SlS4c
for May. Hutchinson sold at the same figure
but tried TO buy at S1ssc. May sold at Sls4c
at the opening: off 10 sl5Sc. up to STAG
Slssc, and steadied at Sl2lc at O'Clock
The close was without material change Re-
ceipts were 1S cars winter wheat, SO cars
spring, 42I cars corn and 13S cars oats
Withdrawals from store were 26,S39 bu
spring wheat, 449 bu corn and IA 993 bu
oats. Corn and oats were dull; and, after
huctnating within narrow range, closed ls
@,l4c lower for corn and shade lower for
oats. Two things were against the provision
market to-day-the extremely warm weather
and the great run of hogs. Nearly all trading
was for May. Short ribs lost sc early TO
Sl.s7I2; lard lost Sc to 6.O2l2, and mess
pork sold at $3.50 to So 50. to So. 92l2, to
So 87l2, or &c under last night. There was
little ambition to do business on the floor
and many traders were absent.
The leading features ranged as follows:
