SENATOR VANCE, m his reply to senate
Allison on Saturday, when the wool schedule
Of the Tariff ill was under discussion,
quoted, in illustration Of point which he
had made against his opponent in the de-
bafe, the closing lines Of lines Randolph's
poem on colorcd fisherman of Chesapeake
bay, attributing them simply to "the local
poet Of newspaper This poem is one of
the most humorous that ever fell
from an American pen, and de-
serves wider reputation than it en-
joys. The lamented Randolph was a
man Of decided genius, and many of his
lines will survive the age in which they
were written. The poem referred to, and
his poetic address on the erection Of the
statue Of Marshall in this city, belong to the
highest order of merit in their special time.

waited outside, talking to a friend, that
the children might be free 10 make
their selections. A pretty basket hung
on Margery's arm. 1t did not take long
to decide what the baby would like,
and the clerk rolled up the white rab-
bit and gave it to Robbie. who
CARED it tenderly; tin horn
was Robbie's purchase out of his
own money. which stuck out Of his
pocket as if indignant that it was not
used. Margery felt sure that the baby
would like two little dolls, which she
crowded into her pocket without wrap
pings, '"cause dolls don't like their
heads wrapped" she said.
Robbie, if you tould have just what
you 'anted, 'ouldn't you have that love-
~ doll that jumps So beautifully when
you 'aise the lid of the box?" inquired
Margery, pleadingly.

quivering lips: Il don't like ELEPHANTS

You weakly and truly like it?" she
asked, eagerly.
''of tourse, if you do" was the an

Margery pushed the round box into
Robbie's hands, crying: You is fooled!

danced and jumped with glee about
Robbie, who flushed as he said: You
is very good to give me this"
In his innermost heart Robbie was
ashamed of the doll, but all the morn
ing he played with it while Margery
pulled and carried the red cart and
brown horse wherever she went. There
were only bright smiles and happy
voices in the house, and when Margery
and Robbie went round to Robbie's

BERTHA's PLAYFELLoW.

A Little Girls Comments on Bishop
Ihat Made Noise.
Bertha was very fond of play; in fact,
she was little inclined to be romp,
and the more noise she made the better
it suited her.
Bertha's mamma did not allow her to
play with some of the boys in the neigh
borhood because they were rude, too;
but there was one gentle little boy who
lived near, and he and Bertha had fine
times together.
Once Bertha and her mamma were
spending the day at house where a
Bishop was visiting. The Bishop
was small, 5oyish-looking man,
and he was extremely fond of
children. so he and Bertha were
friends directly. And what a merry
time these two had! Bertha seemed to
have found a playfellow after her own
heart, and the Bishop appeard to enjoy
their frolics as much as she did.
When the time came for Bertha and
her mamma tie leave, the little girl
walked up to the Bishop and said:
Il wish you would come and play
with me some afternoon. Mamma lets
me play with nice boys!"
Then she added to her mamma, in a
coaxing tone:
Hes real nice, mamma, if he does
make noise!''
And Bertha wondered why every
body laughed. Youths Companion.

The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy fol nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica.
ton, and one that will reach all the re.

during the past obliges us to adj
NIT that only one remedy has met these
conditions, and that is Lly's Cream
Balm. This pleasant remedy has mas
tered catarrh as nothing else ever done,

Arc predicted with reliable accuracy,
and people liable to the pains and aches
of rheumatism dread every change to

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not claimed to be
a positive specific for rheumatism. the
remarkable cure it has effected show
that it may be taken for this complaint
with reasonable certainty of benefit. Its
action IN neutralizing the acidity of the

A military order issued during the

light in which General Scott proposed a
new remedy for intemperance. Cholera
had made its appearance on Rock ISL

ravages of the disease were due todrink-
ing, and he ''peremptorily orders that
every soldier or ranger foun drunk be
compelled, as soon as his strength will
permit, to dig a grave at a suitable
burying place, as such grave can not
fail to be soon wanted for the drunken
man himself or soma drunken compan-
ion" The order was given, the Gem

THAT COLLEGE FIRE.
at Akron, Ohio, Die-Three Others
Seriously Buraed.

AKRON, ONO, Dec. 14.-Lula Steig-
meyer of AttIca Ohio, and May Stoves OF
Clifton Springs, n. Y, who were the
worst burned of the victims of the birth
day party at Buchtel college Saturday
night. died early this morning. Both
were burned almost beyond recognition.
Miss Stoves was one of the most beautiful
and most popular students in the college.
Not a spot on her body except the soles
of her feet escaped the fire, and when she
was found in her room after the mad rush
of the burning girls from the fourth
story, she stood speechless, utterly desti-
tute of clothing, with hands extended,
blsckened and blistered, and not till
spoken to did she recover from her dazed
condition. The parents OF Miss Steg-
meyer arrived this morning 8u hour af-
ter her d"ath. Brief services was held
in the college chapel this afternoon and
the remains taken to Attica Tonight,
accompanied by the parents and four
members of the freshman class.
May Baker, OF johnson 3 Greek, y.
Y, and Aurelia Wrick, OF Storm Lake,
Iowa, are the most seriously injured of
the surviving members OF the party, but
physicians say there Is no immediate
danger.
The fall term of the college ends next
Thursday, but reotations will be aband-
oned and many young ladies are packing
their trunks and hurrying from the city
to get away from the scene of the horror.
The college halls were filled with the
odor of burning flesh, and many young
ladies tainted as they went about doing
relief work.
