Quickly Forgotten.


Those who fill prominent positions and
play con picuous parts in the worlds
affairs are, with few exceptions, quickly
forgotten when they die or retire 70 private
life. The disappearance from public view
of well known persons causes only passing
comment The world appears to be too
busy TO bother with what is gone. 1t Is
wholly intent on that which is present and
TO come.
There was no more notable figure in con-
gress than the late S. S. Cox. Men of both
political parties we're glad TO claim him as
a friend, and his public work was of a kind
that attracted the attention Of the whole
country. He is almost as completely for
gotten, however, as if he had never lived.
Congress begrudges the time necessary for
the delivery of eulogies in his memory.
In the House a day was fixed for the eulo-
gies two or three times before they were
finally delivered, and in the Senate the de-
livery of eulogies has just been postponed
for the fourth time. Will the Senate ever
have a chance to hear word in praise of
the life and services of the dead statesman
Yes, one of these days when there is a
dearth of business in the Senate few of his
friends in that body will be given an oppor-
tunity to laud the virtues and deeds of the
dead wit, scholar and statesman, but what
they say will attract no attention. The
senatorial seats will be empty and the gal
leries will be deserted. Fame is 1eeting,
and yet meu seek it as if it were the most
desirable thing in life.

Polly and the Ministsr.

Sister Robbins lay upon her sick bed watching
the clock, the slant of the sunbeams, and occa-
sionally talkingto her polly, a wise-Iooking gray
parrot with glttering eyes and brilliant scarlet
tail IL would b. better, perhaps. to say that
she replied to Polly, for the parrot was by far
the most talkative, according to a writer in
Wide A1Cdke.
There came a rap at the door of tie room.
Whoa" said Polly. Come in," said Sister
Robbins.
The visitor entered, and proved to be the
Methodist minister. Polly crept to Mrs. Rob-
bins and cuddled close up to the lady's neck.
laying her gray pate close beside her mistress
cheek. After some conversation the minister
proposed to Sister Robbins that they have "a
season of prayer" and accordingly knelt by
her bedside and, with closed eyes and devout
voice. began to pray.
Polly's eyes glttered more than ever She
crept unnoticed from her place of refuge, and
with slowlifted claws and noiseless step over
the white Counterpart went close to the uncon-
sclous minister. She scanned him meditatively
and then when her head was so near his that
you would have thought his ear in danger of
being shipped of, she suddenly cried out in
the clearest tones: what in the world are you
doing?''
Sister Robbins finds it hard to convince the
minister that they have family prayers. He
says Polys evidence is against her.

Female Passengers

We had twenty-five miles to go by stage in
Missouri, and it was early spring and the roads
were very bad. relates writer in the New York
Son. The stage started about half an hour be
fore daylight, and there were five men of US and
two women. These last had the back seat, and
talked only to themselves. We were not over
two miles out when the stage got stuck and
down every man had to get and lift and p Ill
and pry. Three miles further on we were stuck
again. and it was the same performance over
again. In going fourteen miles we were stuck
five times, and in going the twenty five we lifted
that old stage olt of the ruts and holes and
bitches almost dozen times. The five of us
were wet, splashed, muddy and hungry when
we finally drove up TO the terminus, aud you
can imagine our feelings when those two women
got down, removed their shawls and boanetS
and stood revealed as two hearty and robust
men. We were looking at them with open
mouths, when one of them remarked:
Thanks for your labors gentlemen. We
knew the road and prepared for it. VIII you

But we were too indignant to accept

of it is "a Hidden Foe" and the author of
it is the celebrated English writer of fiction,
G. A. Henty. The narration of the story is
brisk and lively, the plot strong, the situa-
lions powerful, the characters interesting
and the effects dramatic. "a Hidden Foe"
is romantic work of fiction, the perusal of
which will excite the liveliest feelings of
curiosity. The opening scenes are in Eng.
land, the family introduced having strongly
marked characteristics. A sudden tragedy
causes considerable change in the prospects
of certain individuals. Mysterious circum-
stances are discovered in connection with
the family history. and an eager search is
instituted to trace these matters to their
source. Unknown to each other several of
the characters embark for Australia in the
same ship. Perils and adventures abound,
the author displaying intimate knowledge
of the sea. The vessel founders in the
Pacific small party of survivors being
cast away on a lonely island. Every
chapter contains its quota of incident, every
installment an effective scene. Throughout
the story the element of love and romance
receives prominence, and "a happy ending"
brings clever work to conclusion.

HOW IT STARTED.
a Friendly Favor 20 Wounded Soldier.
Originates National Custom


The late Hon. j z Tmmbuu of Connecticut
was called ''the friend of the soldiers because
it was through his influence that water was
furnished 70 sick and wounded soldiers while
travelling during the war. This practice has
further developed into the universal American
habit of drinking ice water on all available
occasions. So universal has this become that
it may be called our national habit. and it has
begotten a craving for ice water that is quite
appalling. The introduction of the water
cooler in Offices is bad Most water is fillsd with
the germs of disease and its cold action on the
stomach checks digestion, lowers the tone of
the stomach and brings about dyspepsia, with
all its attendant ills This evil. which is the
cause OF more sumner sickness and kidney
disease than any other known cause, can readily
be avoided by mixing little pure whiskey with
the drinking water. Thus the stomach can be
stimulated into healthy action and its tone re-
tanned. Not only this. but pure wask5y mixed
with the water kills the germs OF any disease
that may be lurking in tha water and thus
avoi is malaria and the thousand ills which come
during the heated term. But while waiskey is
a great benefit, 1t must be pure whiskey, and
unfortunately there is little pure whiskey in
the market. There can be not the slightest
doubt. huYever, a. to the absolute purity of
Duffy Pure Malt. 1t has stood the test of time.
1t is used by the leading men and women of the
land. lG Is so pure in its nature that it cannot
harm even child, and it is doing more than any
one thing to check summer dangers. Be sure
to secure the genuine Insist on having no
other.

The Soldier and the Demagogue.

The Soldier and the Demegogue.
Senator Hawley was soldier who won
honor upon the field of battle in the civil
war. Senator Ingalls, was a home guard,
and was conspicuous for his fighting quail
ties after the war was over. In the Senate
the other day the bold Kansan said, when
introducing couple Of pension bills that
would take out of the treasury untold
millions of dollars if they should become
laws, that the country should take care of
the ex-veterans, whether sick or well, even
if additional taxes had to be levied % 90 so,
because there was a contract to that effect.
he is a candidate for reelection,
and is playing for the soldiers vote
He doesn't care how heavily the people are
burdened, provided he secures a reelection.
He is ready to bankrupt the treasury to
keep himself in the Senate.
In reply to Senator Ingalls,, Senator Haw-
ley said that all the old soldiers wanted was
that those Of them who were sick and IN
able to provide for themselves should be
taken care Of There is not much doubt
that ne spoke for those who were genuine
soldiers. The country ought to have found
out by this time that it is the demagogues
like ingalls, who are increasing the pension
burden. They and the " ashington pension
sharks are in the most perfect harmony.

What His Interest Was.

Senator Harris of Tennessee had an expert
ence some years ago with a ne committee
clerk at the capitol, says the New York Tribune.
He went into the room of the committee on
claims one afternoon and asked the clerk to
show him the papers in a case under considera-
ton by the committee.
Are you the claimant?" said the clerk,
abruptly.
Senator Harris replied that he was not the
claimant.
Are you the attorney in the case:" said the
clerk. with still greater abrupnes'.
Senator Harris replied that he was not even
the attorney.
well, who in - are you. then. and what
interest have you got in this case?" said the
clerk. ia very offensive tone.

Drawing Conclusion too Hastily.

The eloquent temperance lecturer paused,
wiped his perspiriug brow and said impress
lively to the man on the front seat, who had
listened with the deepest interest to the dis
course, and evidently was touched by its pathos
and argument: My friend, it is never too
late to reform. There is hope for the most
hopeless. The past is beyond your reach but
you can control your future. You cannot call
back to your pocket the enormous sum it prob
ably has cost you to paint your nose the color
il has now, but"
All 1t cost me to paint my nose as you see

why not a southern man ~ asks the New
York Herald, speaking of the probable
nominee of the Democratic party for the
next presidency, and it adds: THE ablest
men in the Democratic party are from the
south. We note this in both branches of
congress-" These men of whom the Herald
speaks are the leaders, the brains, the back
bone and support of the democ-
racy; men of the jefferson, Jack
son, Cas-, Benton and Calhoun stamp,
who combine the qualities of modern states
manship, and the old-time, simon-pure
democratic principles. They would nearly
all make good presidential timber, and the
Herald is surprised that the south does not
insist on its rights. The men of the south
consider the success of the Democratic party
above personal gain. They sacrifice their
ambition to the supremacy of democracy,
and when that end is attained, and repub-
licanism, which keeps alive a groundless
prejudice, is rooted out, then the southern
democrats will ask recognition in presiden-
tial nominating conventions. Until that
time arrives they are satisfied to work with
the rank and file.
