LIBERAL BY NATURE.

"During the past twenty years Gov
ernor Foster has probably contributed as
much to the churches, not only of his
own-the NJ. E. denomination, but all
other denominations, in our section of
the State" said Fostoria clergyman to
us recently, "as ever he spent in politics.
He is liberal by nature and in thought,
impulse and practice and has done as
much for deserving charities in a quiet,
unostentatious way as any wealthy man
of my acquaintance" Now here's a
theme for Halstead. Perhaps this mer-
chant-banker, who has been making
money in railroad and gas properties
has been "entirely too liberal' in relig-
ion also? Generosity may be a crime
there, as well as in politics, according to

nothing of the physical enjoyment, the
zest of that existence to which cling with
such remarkable tenacity. They are al

remedy, tonic or "pick me up to give a

THERE is no crime against self and
others comparable, for enormity and de-
structiveness, with insincerity and the
several forms of lying. 1t was the first
fruit of sin, and it it is the seed by which
evil is propagated. There are many
ways of lying, and the least direct are
the worst. Playing on words, or mis-
leading, or taking refuge in a special
meaning, is worse than simple false
hood. 1t costs the mind more to prac-
tice deception than to lie openly.

Only an Oyster.

Last night fat man, wearing low
necked shirt with turn down cola
three sizes to large for him, sat dowr
to q table in a Clark street restaurant
and called for a plate of raw oysters
He got them cold aid JUICY right off the
ice, and, harpooning fat one with hii
fork, he lifted it toward his mouth
But the slippery, Shiny, chilly bi,alve
dropped off his fork before reaching
its destination, caromed on the fat
mans chin, and then slid down inside
of his shirt and nestled on his breast.
No one saw the incident. The obese
gent himself didn't see it, but he felt
that something had happened and that
he had arrived at a crisis In his life.
A pained, startled expression rested for
moment on his face; then with a low,
plantive wall of heartbreaking agony
he half rose from his chair and clapped
his hand on his stomach. He struck
the oyster, but the coy creature was one
of the most alert of its species. 1t at
once changed its base on feeling the
pressure, and SHE'D upward and across
the fat mans wide expanse of palpita-
ting bosom, leaving a trail of arctic
frigity in its wake, and took up new
quarters in his left armpit.
With wild howl of anguish the un-
happy proprietor of the oyster leaped
two feet in the air, uttered another yell
like wild-west Indian and COM
menced to work his arm after the
manner of bagpipe musician. The
oyster got excited and started again on
its travels, but was apparently unable to
select a permanent location. After
making several blind rushes it halted
for moment under short rib near
the spine to catch its second wind.
The unfortunate fat man was now in
state of mind bordering on insanity.
He kicked over his chair, yelled and
swore, grabbed himself in front and be-
hind and on both sides, rolled up his
eyes, frothed at the mouth, and spun
round like "a top. But the slippery
bivalve was now thoroughly ratified
and scooted here and there like streak
ofgreased lightning, taking great pains
not to travel over the same ground
twice.
"He's got a fitW screamed a Wild
eyed man, making rush for the door,
with napkin tucked under his chin.
ITS either that or he's afire inside
his Clothes" said another pale-faced
dinner, edging away from the sufferer.
"For mercy's sake take him off, some-
body; I'm dying!" walled the stricken
man as he threw up both hands and
sat down heavily on the floor. EV y
When the victim of misplaced re-
freshment struck the floor the oyster
shot out of the back of his neck like a
bullet, hit the ceiling with squashy
plunk, and then fell back and hung
limp and lifeless from the chandelier.
The fat mans physician says the
patient will recover from his attack OF
nervous prostration in a few days,

hence stop short with my only this
euggesuan: That while seeking 70 Inn
prove your condition., look for 4 bigger
gain elsewhere than you will ever find
bymerely trying to Increase the crops.
If1 may be allowed one mote sug-
gestion, II would be this: Be less par
tisan. 1t never has and never will pay
you. Be all the politician you want to
or can be. The more politician the
better patriot tou will be, and the bet
ter laws we will have; but let the least
amount Of partisanship enter into your
politics. What l mean by politician is
to be as well acquainted with the ques-
tiOns which your votes are to decide as
can be by impartlally reading the best
exposltions you can find, not from the
standpoint Of all parties which join Is
sues upon these questions. But never
allow yourselves to settle down to
swear by Oryote by any one partisan
sheet. There are always human spid-
ers weaving nets for human prey. They
would just rs soon catch the farmer for
prey as the president of the most wick
ed trust in the country, and perhaps
sooner, because there are so many
more of you. One such spider will first
weave o net so near the color of the
grass in your dooryard that unless there
Is another spider at hand just as anx-
ious to ensnare you, to warn you of the
first danger, you may drop into the net,
but If two hostile spiders in the form of
two or more opposing newspapers come
to your yard with their nets spread,
they will tell SO much truth about each
other and so little for themselves, that
you will be sure not to fall prey to the
Vaccinations of either. The great at
titude for the American farmer is one
Of independence, free and independent
enough to exercise the right of citizen
ship In accordance with the real truth,
aud when he does this, he will exercise
them in the cause of his own real in
