Couldn't Find the Right Word.

typical Missourian appeared at the fremont
house the other afternoon. says the Minneapolis
Tribune, and asked for a room. He said his
name was John Wakely. About o'clock he
approached the clerks desk and said:
Guess III remain, cause I'm kinder tired"
PLEASED to have you" ratified the clerk
WHATS the name? Wakely. oh, yes; give
you No. 56i-front room with bath; southern
exposure. You can get dinner at g."
The fellow stood like a bronze statue for a
few moments and then took a GUAR opposite the
counter At o'clock another clerk came on
watch, and Wakely went to him, saying:
My name is Wakely Guess I'll remain"
THANK you, Mr.. Wakely. Let's see. SOL, best
room on that floor, if not in the house. Just
make yourself at home here
The man seemed dumfounded at something
and lie returned to his chair directly opposite
the register. When the night clerk appeared at
IL O'Clock the Missourian almost ran to the
counter
I'm glad they've got new boy" he said,
II m what they call SOL, and want to remain.
Do you understand?
Certainly, Mr. Wakely. / am going to eat
my luncheon now, but if | can do anything for
you after that don't hesitate to call upon me.
BE pleased to serve you, sir"
The strange guest, after glazing at the clerk,
returned to his chair, where re did not move
until a. m. Then he was disturbed by couple
OF late boisterous travelling men.

drummers. I'VE might as well retire and"

Divorce Court Stories.

The Pennsylvania labor report for 1889 in its
divorce chapter, says the New York Press,
treats of the peculiar kinds of cruelty practiced
by 45,731 husbands against their wives and 6, 122
wives against their husbands One woman was
granted divorce because her husband persisted
in coming home at 10 O'Clock at night and keep
ing her awake talking. This she called mental
cruelty, and the court agreed with her. An
other woman secured divorce because her
husband cut off her bangs by force, and sUill an
other because her spouse refused to cut his toe
nails. One wife's feelings were LAGER
ated to the point of legal separa-
ton because her husband would not wash
himself, thus causing her great mental
anguish Some of the cases of cruelty prac-
ticed by wives upon their husbands were equally
heartrendjng. One wife cruelty refused to sew
on her husbands buttons, a witness testifying
to have seen him with but one button on his
vest To add to his anguish and the sympathy
of the court this cruel wife restrained her low
ing husband from going to fires at night. An
other wife charged her husband with being no
man at all, which so wrung his heartStrings
that nothing short of a divorce would allay his
anguish. a wife who pulled her husband out
of bed by his whiskers was adjudged by the
court fit only to travel in single harness unless
she could find another man who didn't MIND
having his WHISPERS pulled. A wife who
weighed 1870 pounds broke her husbands ribs
with stove lid, and another lost her husband
because she cruelty and maliciously beat him
with her hustle.

He Gave Thorn The Shake.

Senior D. Salvador Canedo. the Mexican min
lister to London, who has been at the Palmer for
a week, says the Chicago Tribune, was in a
peck of trouble yesterday afternoon. He left
the city at O'Clock. At 2:50 he appeared in
the hotel office to bid the clerks farewell But
the person who had been acting as his interpre-
tsr had gone away and there was no one to
talk for him. AS time passed and the interpre-
ter did not return, the diplomatic became ner-
vous. he is possessed of the courtesy charac-
teristic of his race, and the thought of leaving
the hotel without saying a few words to the
clerks who had been so kind was not pleasant
one. He ran from one end of the long counters
to the other, not knowing what to do. His per-
plexiJy was so manifest that the clerks had
trouble suppressing their laughter.
Presently the Mexican took a dictionary from
his valise and began to run over the pages
After few moments he jammed the book back
into his grip and ran over to Mr.. Cunning ham,
the room clerk. He approached with both
hands out and the clerk clasped them and said
"good-by"
IAN right" answered the foreigner, 81 shake
you"
The clerk smiled as though the guest had said
the correct thing and Senior Canedo then went
down the line exclaiming each one as he shook
his hand, "All right, shake you"

The sub-Treasury Plan.

The advocates of the sub-treasury plan
for the relief of the farmers are having a
hearing before the ways and means COM
mittee TO investigate the plan thoroughly.
That certainly ought to be its purpose, for
farmers are more in need of legislative as
sistance than any other class of people.
Nearly all legislation is against them-not
directly, of course, but indirectly. The
protective tariff system imposes immense
burdens upon them, and it is strange
that they do not direct their
efforts toward reducing these burdens in
stead of advocating a relief plan that is of
extremely doubtful practicability. With
could give the country a tariff system that
would afford great relief to all classes.
If the farmers were against such tariff
legislation as the Mckinley bill, neither
that bill nor any similar one would become
a law. A bill would be passed, however,
that would give the farmers more relief
than they could get in any other way.
According TO our Washington dispatches
the alliance in this state is going into poll
tics. Alliance congressional candidates are
to be nominated in all the districts except
Mr. Testers, Mr.. Crisp's and Mr.. Turner's.
No alliance candidate would stand any
chance of defeating any one of these three
congressman, and therefore it would be folly
to make nominations in opposition to them.
If the alliance dominates candidates in the
other districts the congressional campaign
will be an interesting one.

A Thankful Parsoo.
From Harner's M1udzi,le

A pious parson good and true
Was crossing DER the Sc S,
When suddenly there flercely blew
A wild and sweeping breeze.
He feared the storm the ship would wreck
His heart was sore afraid,
He sought the captain on the deck
And found him undismayed.
The captain saw his awful fear,
And led him up to where
The servant OF the Lord could hear
The sailors loudly swear.
"You clearly see" the captain said,
''If danger lowered nigh,
They'd all be on Their knees instead,
And asking grace to die
The parson felt his words were true,
And when the skies grew fair
He marveled how the sailors knew
just when to pray or swear.
But wnen the seas which wildly flowed
Had ceased to plunge and spout,
Unto himself he said: 1T showed
They know what they're about"
But later on another storm
Came fiercer than before, ts.,
The parSon heard with wild alarm -
The oceans angry roar
He sought the deck in awful dread
To near the sailors get,
He listened-then he bowed his head
THANK God, they're swearing yet.''

1t is asserted that the Clan-na Gael is
making its influence felt in the Joliet state
prison, where those who we're convicted of
numbering DR.. Cronin are confined. The
story is that the prison officials have been
trying to have the punishment of the con-
victed men mitigated, and also that the
convicted men are permitted to do pretty
much as they please, and are fed as we'll as
if they were only guests of the prison Of
ficials. 1t is probable that the reports have
title or no foundation, and were started
with the view of creating a sensation.

Coming Home.

What is the matter with the Presidents
foreign ministers! Every once in while
one of them unexpectedly returns home.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Adams. minister to
Brazil, left his post of duty and is now
candidate for congress in the district repre-
sented by the late Mr.. Randall On Mon
day Mr.. Palmer, minister to Spain, re-
turned. He is now on his way to
Michigan and says that he does not
expect to return to Spain. A few weeks
ago his niece died, and it seems his ambition
died at the same time. He had about made
up his mind to become a candidate for the
nomination of his party for governor, but
he has abandoned that idea. He has adopted
3-year-old Spanish boy, and he proposes
to devote the remainder of his life to edu-
eating him.
The President is not having much luck
with his ministers abroad. 1t would not
be at all surprising if Whitelaw Reid, min
lister to France, and Robert Lincoln minis
ter England, should resign before the end
of this administration. Neither of them
seems to be very well satisfied. They have
had all the honor which their respective
places can confer upon them, and now they
would rather be in their own country at
tending to their business affairs.
1t is a question whether this country
could not get along just about as we'll with
out ministers in other countries. 1t is in
Geographic communication with all the
other leading governments of the world and
the mails are carried with great rapidity.
When it is necessary to have a representa-
tive in the capital of another country one
eau be sent there to transact the immediate
business in hand. Fast mails and cables
have lessened the usefulness and Importance
of ministers abroad, and it is not improb-
able that in the near future the services of
such officials will be dispensed with.

The woman who were elected recently to
the municipal offices of the city of Olathe,
Kan, having become disguised with
office-holding, have resigned. They
were elected originally as a joke,
but concluded to see what
they could do in the way of running the
city government. They got along well
enough until they began to inaugurate
some much needed reforms, and then the
kicking of the men made life a burden to
them. The women of Olathe will not seek
Office soon again. They have found out
that the people of the place are not so anx-
ious for reforms as they are TO do as they
please

Col. Shepard, the editor of the New York
congregation of the Episcopal church in
Williamsburg, N. Y, last Sunday, told the
people it was sin to ride to church. Ev-
erybody should walk, he said, and people
who lived too far away from a church to
walk to it should either move closer to the
church or have the church moved closer to
them. This advice is similar to sugges-
ton advanced by minister in this city.
The pulpit was too high, and, as it could
visions of a will by which the church en-
joyed very handsome income, he sug-
gested that the floor of the church be raised.

The virtual failure of the pan-American
congress appears to have caused profound
Joy in England. The English are particu-
larIy pleased that the effort to bring about
reciprocal trade between this country and
the Central and South American states was
not successful. England has a grip on
Central and South American trade, and she
does not regard with favor anything that
threatens to break it. The Mckinley bill
will help her to tighten it.
