"a Farmer,s Conundrum.

On the boarding of wealth Farmer Felix is bent.
1t is truly the height of his Joy; ~
With this object in view, all his years have been
spent,
Since he started penniless boy.
By hundreds, by thousands, and thousands
thrice told,
His estates may be counted up now,
But all of his lands, and his houses and gold,
Have been earned by the sweat OF his brow
An inveterate scold is Malinda. his wife,
Yet model of neatness withal;
So she leads him bitter sweet sort of a life
Through the winter, spring, summer and fall.
One day from the field, where a plohwing he d
been,
His boots with fresh mud covered DER,
He came to the house and walked leisurely in,
Leaving tracks on the clean kitchen floor.
And in these words Malinda her husband did
You doggondest of old tarnal fools,
You've dragged in more earth on your great
clumsy feet
Than would load down a couple of mules
Whereat Felix, the farmer and lover of pelf,
To his spouse thus loosely appealed;
S'Pray tell me the difference betwixt me myself
And what brought in from the field -

THE ADVANCE OF CHOLERA.
Cleanliness Should be Maintained 1t Has
Been Our Salvation In the Past.
TLondon Lance

London Lancet.
The news which we announced last week as to
the continuance Of cholera in Mesopotamia has
again raised the question whether Europe stands
in danger of another invasion Of the disease.
Cholera in Bussorah, and even in Bagdad, does
not necessarily involve such danger, and al
though the disease has now for many months
past prevailed in both those places and in the
intermediate country, its incidence has appSr-
emily been all but limited to MesopOtamia and
to.the western portion of the Persian empire.
The only really disquieting occurrence is the IN
teIligence that it has made some Roadway along
the Turkish trade routes TO Europe-routes
which would in the main convey the disease IN q
the ports on the southern coast OF the Baltic.
Should the port towns become infected, 1t IS GER
tain that no Russian or Turkish means CT pre-
vention. such have been adopted on former
Occasions would be likely TO stay the diffusion
of the cholera poison If the local circumstances
favored its epidemicity. But cholera IN heso-
potamia, while it may usually lnclte us TO the
removal of those influences which tend 70 prop
agate the disease, is by no means to be regarded
as an actual cause for anxiety. We certainly are
not in position to boast Of any assured inEn-
ton from Asia Minor; but we have She satiSfac-
ton of knowing that, after years or sanitary
progress, andwith a steadily improving sanitary
organization OF our port and inland d1str1ctss
cholera failed TO get footing in this country
during the European epidemic Of 1887, and
this notwithstanding the fact that we renamed
all the time in frequent and unhfndered commn-
nisation with Paris during the whole period OF
the epidemic in that city. Our clear duty Is,
while maintaining all necessary WatchfulDeSs rs
to the march of cholera on the eastern confines
of Europe to continue tn at line OF sanitary
work which we have now maintained Tor so
many wears and which has already saved more
lives in this country than cholera ever destroyed
among Us.

The Rev. Dr.. Todd, of this city, once
found himself in the pulpit Sunday
morning with the wrong sermon in his
pocket. There was no time to send home
for the right one, as the congregation
was singing the hymn that preceded the
discourse; nor would it do to preach
from the manuscript before him, as it
had been directed against his hearers
but few Sundays before. 1t was
critical moment. He succeeded, how
ever, in recalling the text on which
the absent manuscript was based, and so
he began and finished his remarks on
that line of thought without scrap o.
paper to help him. 1t is a fact that a
number of the reverend doctors hearers
stopped moment after the sermon to
congratulate him on an especially fine
effort.-New Haven Palladium.

pity the poor fellow, but it didn't.
There can be no real sympathy between
costly apparel and the habiliments of
poverty. The brotherhood of man can
never be accomplished except by put

So Drane stood there waiting for his
revenge. Suddenly there was hubbub
at the door. An attendant rushed out
hurriedly and looked about Behind
him Drane could sec the thief expostu-
lating with the man at the desk. Then
the attendants eyes fell upon Drane.
''Arrest that man." said he to the DO
iccman; she has stolen mans clothes
in our bath!'
''Come with me, SIR" said the officer,
laying his hand upon Drane's shoulder.
The blunderbuss of vengeance had
shot both ways again, as is the habit of
that antiquated weapon.

AS a matter of fact, there is probably
as much drinking done in the cafes Of
the Capitol itself as in any saloon in
Washington, and not few members

specifically intact only through the
kind assistance of some of the door keep

Satisfied with the Investment

An unfortunate young man of the name
of Robert Heard, living at Totness, be-
came enamored of a comely maiden who
did not reciprocate his affection. Last
week Robert met the cruel maiden, and
in moment of uncomfortable rapture
put his arms about her and ravished a
kiss. The fair but obdurate one lodged
a formal complaint against Robert, and
the young man was apprehended and
tried for his misdemeanor. The magis-
trate, after hearing the pros and cons,
sentenced Robert to six weeks at hard
labor. AS Robert walked off to prison
he remarked proudly: "Well, the kiss
was worth it!"-Eugene Fields Letter.

Decollete Gowns in WASHINGTON.

A gentleman who is we'll known as
''diner out" in Washington society called
upon Mrs. Morton, the vice presidents
wife, a lady of good family and breed
ing, and who has enjoyed great wealth
for the most part of her life, and found
her in gown of rich, dark velvet, but
toned to the throat and covering her
arms to the wrist; the young women
were in modest house dresses. Calling
at another officials home, he found the
blinds drawn, the gas blazing, and the
hostess and the young girls who were
her assistants on this occasion We're in
full evening dress-low cut and sleeve
less.
A senator's wife, with whom this gen.
tleman discussed the subject afterward,
agreed with him that this vulgar taste
for decollete gowns on every possible
occasion was one of the crudest features
of Washington society. Said she: "If a
girl comes to spend the afternoon with
me and meet my visitors in a low
necked gown, never ask her again. -

OUR BEAUTIFUL LICENSE LAW.
A Republican Paper Lets Daylight Into
n Gigantic Humbug

A Republican Paper Lets Daylight Into
Gigantic Humbug.
The true inwardness Of the present
beautiful high license law in Massachu-
setts is forcibly illustrated in the town
OF Dracut, where o "yes" vote was OBJ
tanned at tho recent election. The popu-
lation of the town admits but of single
license, which has been awarded by the
selectmen to the highest bidder in the
sum of $4,000, the next highest bid be-
ing $4,000.
Isn't it beautiful?
What other business, by the payment
OF money to municipal authorities, can
be guaranteed monopoly created, main
talned and protected by law? Here is
one individual, or one firm, as the case
may be, only too glad to part with the
large sum of 5000 for the sole and abso-
lutte right to sell liquor for one year in
little country town, and the law Of the
state founded by the Puritans holds up
to the.gaze of any who shall dare to enter
into competition in the liquor traffic with
this $4,000 patron the sublime picture Of
prison bars and bolts!
In all candor we ask any advocate Of
the liquor license law in this state what
would be his opinion of proposed legisla-
tion providing for the selling of monopo.
istic rights and privileges to any other
class of business than the liquor traffic!
What, for instance, would be the prob
able reception accorded bill in the leg
islature at the hands of the general pub
lie which should limit the vending Of
milk to one dealer for each 1000 of pop
ulation?

1t was lawrence Drane! He had stolen
his own clothes back again.
Yes, Chere was no doubt about it.
The occupant of No. AZ had been the
original tramp who had accomplished
the exchange in the hotel so nicely,
and had afterward collected the tele-
graph moncy-order at New Haven. The
pockets of the coat were full of Dranes
papers. He ran them over hastily, and
could not discover that any were miss
ing.
His watch and considerable sum of
money were there too. He wondered at
this because prudent persons leave such
things at the desk, but then he reflected
that thief distrusts everybody, and
hates to hand over his plunder when he
doesn't know who may be watching.
Drane was never so eminently salts
fed in his life. The clothes restored
his brain to its proper balance almost at
once. He wondered how he could have
been brought to the point of entering
another's room, and he was shocked at
the thought, though delighted at the re-
suit.
He strolled through the hall and
noticed that the thief was still sleeping
Beside him lay the remnants of the
lunch. Drane would have been glad to
stay and watch the fellow when he
walked up, but he had decided to go out
and find policeman to take the thief
into custody.
There was none in sight when he
stepped to the door. He stood there a
moment, holding his chin in his hand,
while refecting upon the best course to
pursue. The action reminded him that
he needed a shave very much, and as
the barber shops of the bath were so
situated that he could keep an eye on
the slumbering thief, he went in and
had the last evidence of misfortune re-
moved, and the unsuspecting wretch on
the divan still slumbered.

the first thing he saw was the blue coat
of which he was in search. A burly
