Facts About Shaving.

A close shave means the removal of

inner layer of the skin renders a per

THE FAITHFUL ELEPHANT.

One Who Would Not Stir Until He Heard
His Masters Voice.
In some countries in Asia an elephant
is made to carry the flag in battles!
This is because the elephant il so tall,
and the soldiers can easily See the flag
flying from his back. One of these ele-
plants, which belonged to the Poona
host, was very brave and very kind, but
he would obey the order of no one ex-
cept his mahOut, or driver One time.
while very fierce fight was raging, the
driver called out to him; ''Stand, my
brave beast, standr' A moment later
the mahout received fatal
wound and fell to the ground
where he lay beneath a pile of wounded
and slain. The Obedient animal would
not move, though the battle ragged fierce
ly around him. The Poona soldiers, who
feared they were being overcome, were
cheered on by the sight of the flag still
floating from his back. He never stirred
a foot, and all through the hot fight, the
noise, the smoke, the confusion, listened
patiently for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him.
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like rock.
''Come forward, my men," cried the
Poona Captain; ''our flag still floats and
the battle will yet be ours"
His men, discouraged and ready to fiv.
rallied at his command, and with a
cheer for the flag pressed forward. In
short time they had won the victory
and put the enemy TO flight. And then
they gathered around the brave ele-
plant, offering to lead him where he
could be fed and cared for. But. though
wounded and worn, the obedient Great
ure would not move until he heard his
masters voice. That master could never
speak again. A rider was sent in great
haste to place fifty miles away, where
lived the drivers little son, whom the
elephant knew and loved. When the
little boy was brought to the battle
ground the elephant showed very plain
~ that he was glad to see him, and per-
mitted the child to lead him away.-Our

That flies beyond the evening star,
And sees the everlasting rest

Soft banks of rose
And amethystine cloudlets fly
Straight on to where the white gates swing
Apart and let dead hours float by
Upon eternity's dark wing A

Who sees the waves creep DER the bar
And bear away her precious bark,
Wherein loved eyes, that shadows mar.

Through which the cold, dead hours are

And near which yearnng mothers wait,
And cry out in their grief, forlorn:

WUELAN MURDERED.
One of Chicago's Ex-AIdermen Shot Down
In IA Saloon.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-Ex-Alderman
William P. Whelan was shot and fatally
wounded at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, by George H. Hathaway, a
gambler. The shooting occurred in Matt
Hogans saloon, at 334 State street.
Whelan died at the Michael Reese hos
pita at 2:30 in the afternoon. The
shooting was the result of trivial bar
room fight. Whelan was eating break
fast when Hathaway came in to
pay for a check he had left be-
hind a few DAYS before. Seated at
the table with Whelan were Matt
Hogan and John McGuinness, city
employe. Hathaway saw Whelan and
walked over and spoke to him. Wbelan
glanced up at the gambler, and said he
did not want to know him. Other words
followed, and Whelan followed Hathaway
who backed against the door screen. Nc
Guinness and Hogan both took hold of
Hathaway Whelan then tried to strike
Hathaway with heavy cane. Hathaway
pulled revolver and fired. The muir
derer was arreated the same afternoon.

SHOES AND THE TARIFF.
Foolish Efforts to Show that Footwear Will
be Dearer.

The effort of certain journals to make it
appear that the new tariff has increased
the duty on shoes and shoe materials, and
that, as a result, shoes will be dearer,
seems intensely amusing to those who
know anything about the manufacture of
shoes Many kinds or shoes have advanc-
ed in price his season, but not in conse-
quence of taritf legislation, III connection
with leather Or n.i.s, or pegs. or other
materials entering into tue composition of
footwear The reason is because leather is
dearer and leath"y is dearer because of the
short supply OF hides coupled, possibly,
with an unusually large demand. There is
no competition with foreign countrits on
pegs (Which are nov used only on heavy
shoes) or nails, or lasts, or hammers, or
machinery. If there were no tariff on
shoes it would make no difference in
prices. Very few are imported any way
Tor would be if they came in frep) and
these are worn by Angloranlacs who at
feet to believe any thing Eng ism, you
know" must be better than goods Of
American production.

The freight rates of this country are
something that our democratic statesmen
harp on until it is truly pitiable to listen
to the way the farmer is robbed by reason
of the high freights the railway company
have to charge on account of the high
prices they have to pay for the material
that go to make the tariff tax The fol-
lowing from the London Iron Monger, show
ing the cost of carrying coal in 1888 per
ton per mile in the following countries
conclusively proves that we are the cheap
est freight carrying country in the world:
Belgium, u cents per ton per mile;
France, a cents per ton per mile; Ger
many, 2s4 cents; England, 3 to s cents,
and extra charge for handling; United
States, | cent. Thus does one after the
other of the free trade statements vanish
from sight when brought in contact with
the facts.
Zone more practical Illustration of the
great results from protection While
visiting New England two years ago |

factories in tnat district and asked to ex-
anime their books to compare the wages
Of 1857 with that of 1888. found: Girls
were paid 50 so to SIS per week in 1857,
and S. to $40 in 1888; men were paid S.
to SO in 1857, and 50 to SIG in 1888. And
the superintendent showed me a spool of
cotton thread manufactured in 1857 by the
side of a spool manufactured in 1888, say
ing protection has brought about these re-
markable results in our trade. You see,
he said, how inferior that 1857 article is
when compared with the 1888 thread, in
fact, we could not sell it at any price
Well tariff has helped us to improve the
quality of the goods 100 per cent, increase
the wages of workers 100 per cent, and
reduce the cost to the consumer 30 per
cent. So it runs with all the goods that
go to make up our present civilizations
costs reduced to the consumer, wages Of
the worker increased, and yet many men
who worked right there on the streets of
Chicago for so cents per day still listen to
men who assert and vote for the party that
perverts truth by proclaiming that the
