Long Ability But Short on Courage.

Long Ability But Short on Courage.
New York Press.
was talking yesterday with Judge
John NJ. Thurston Of Nebraska, whose
name has national prominence as the
head of the Republican National league,
when he said: The league is moving
along with an even pace. The most that
it can be expected to do in the years be-
tween presidential elections is to keep
up its organizations, effect organizations
in states where it has none, and get the
frame work ready for vigorous labor in
the presidential years. The purpose Of
the leagne is to elect presidents, not to
nominate them. Ny own idea about
what the party requires Just now Is that
it needs men of convictions in plenty but
the men of courage are slow in coming
to the front. Reed was given his ire
mendous victory because of his courage.
The American people like courageous
men. They do not like towards. They
will forgive a rascal, on repentance, but
a coward is never forgiven

SINGLE BlesScdness.

If | had to decide for my daughter
whether, in view of her greater happiness
she should marry or remain single, would
find the task difficult. In marriage the
ordering of her life is taken in a great
measure out of her own hands; she must
bend to circumstances; she is modified by
the influences which have surrounded her
husband all his life; she takes to herself in
his relatives a new set of kindred, who
may or may not be agreeable to her. The
single life is much less complex, and it
offers her what poets have sung and he
roes died for-independence. But, she
points out, a woman will rarely enjoy her
state of single blessedness unless she is
prepared for it in training and is allowed
to be independent if she remains at home

its widespread popularity, although some
question it's benefccnt effects upon the
human family. Yet, while postage

Capt. Mike FIaherty is well known in
the tobacco world and has wide circle Of
acquaintances among the plots, from
whom he now and again received a pres,

foreign land, and it was this decided him
to commence his present collection, which
now numbers about $50 varieties of cigars,

to save the extravaganza of wife and the
expense Of hiring cook, shells his corn,
and before carrying it to the mill spreads
it on the floor before the fire, where is 1t

the pleasure of the occasion. and after

darkness incidental to rain, the sky was
