The judges who decided on the mer-
ITS OF the competitors were Col. Ben
Martin and wife and Henry Clay

The Mckinley bill TO humbug
the farmers raises the duty on pota-
toes from 10 cents bushel 10 25.
But the potato crop this year, there
is no doubt will be the greatest
failure ever known. The farmers
in some sections will be compelled
to buy their seed potatoes for next
year, and the 25 cents a bushel duty
will be a tax on them as we'll as all
other consumers, and especially TO
the great body of workmen IN man
ufactures and mines to whom pota-
toes ranks after bread as the staff
Of life. There will be fewer pota-
toes this year than i'm 1887, when
we imported $3.50, 900 bushels and
the importations will be larger il
the foreign market can supply the
demand. The country will take
twenty millions If IL can get them,
Tor tho American crop will be clean
gone by winter. That being tho
case, how is protective measure
to raise the duty TO % conts q
bushel aud take FIVE million dollars
from the consbmers of potatoes to
be such a glorious benefit TO the
working people, whether on the
farm or In the factories and mines 4?

Good News For Our Sons Of Rest.

A Morgantown man will apply for
a patent on a chair which he calls
"The Ioafer's Comfort" 1t is
made Of light wire with canvass scat
and can be worn under the coat by
a belt around the waist. When the
tired brick presser desires to take a
rest he simply pulls string and
prestol the wires fall into position
and he sits down TO mediate upon
the wonderous works Of man. He
also expects it TO become popular
with habitues, af the Tennis court,
race track and ball grounds.-Do-
miniOn.
Kingwood is the best market we
know Of for the above invention.
A large number Of them can be sold
here at once. In fact we believe the
factory should be located here.
Kingwood has o large order Of The
''Sons Of Rest" and they will all
want to invest in this long felt want.
With this patent on the market, we
could probably get in and out Of
our Office without climbing over a
dozen loafcrs lounging on the
steps.

OCTOBER 20. 1890.

Amy's eyes were moist with tears as
she in her turn read this letter. 1t was
the brief last message of one feeling that
death was near. II was not strong
enough to withstand the temptations of
this world" it read, land in leaving it |
have but one regret-that I may have
been stumbling block and an evil in
fuence in your path. If God in his in
finite goodness should ever pardon my
great transgression, would pray that
my happiness in heaven might be to
hover over you with the warmth Of a
pure and hallowed affection, free from
desire that you should ever know or re-
turn it, and to guard you from some pain
Or trouble that might otherwise come to
you"
It read like astrain Of 1nournful music.
1t was cry Of hapless love that had
been it's own destruction, an appeal to
that life beyond where all the bafded
hopes of this world may yet be made
good.
''She loved you more as n l." murmur-
ed Amy, sadly.
In time there came news that the po-
litical sky was Frightening. It began to
appear probable that the treasure beds
in the Barranca Of Ci1narron and the
gold buried on the shore Of Lake Jornada
might yet once again be reached.

Repaying Il Joke.

An incident occurred recently at the
Roosevelt street ferry Office which illus
trates how one man can make another's
life miserable with little exertion. One
evening the collector showed out to
passenger thirty-two three cent pieces
and one cent in exchange for dollar,
after deducting the fare, which was
three cents. The collector grinned and
thought he had played o good joke on
the passenger, who took the money
without a protest, but made up his mind
to get even with the joker if possible.
He thought hard for three days, and at
last hit ON a scheme. Sharpening the
end of file he niclzed one side of each
three cents.
Every morning and evening in going
to and from his work he placed three
cent piece in the palm of his hand and
slapped it firmly down in front of the
collector. At these times there was al
ways rush. In his hurry the collector
tried to slide the money along with the
tips Of his fingers, but it stuck fast.
Then he resorted to his finger nails, NUT
tering blessings on tn head Of the man
who annoyed him. This was kept up
for thirty-two days until the nickel
pieces were all exhausted. But even to
this day the collector always picks up Il
three cent piece with his finger nails, SO
strong has the habit become. Ernest
Jarrold in New York Journal.

A man who returned from a yachting
"trip, which for some part Of the time in
|cluded Mr. Edwin Booth as guest, tells
the following good story Of professional
|repartee between Mr.. Booth and Mr.. La
Montague, the we'll known amateur. No
sooner had Mr.. Booth come aboard the
yacht than he was seized with a violent
attack Of attention to the waves at the
side of the vessel. MI. Booths atten-
ton was engrossed here for long time,
'and when he returned to the party with,
as one Of them said, everything lost save
honor Mr.. La Montague said in mild
reproof, "Why, Mr.. Booth, is that the
way you are given to gagging your
parts?"

himself in his best tragedy style, '"not

Breakfast on Bare Mahogany.

This of all seasons is the one when a
bare polished mahogany table makes a
breakfast Of melons, fish, rice cakes and
coffee a feast for the eyes as well as the
palate. You may not have veritable
from San Domingo, but if you care to
give cabinet fnisher So he will hand
polish a cherry or oak, and in a fresh
white dress you can make your husband
and little folks believe you are break
fast beauty.
To be most effective neither scarfs nor
mats must be used. Have some pretty
tile for the coffee pot rest, and instruct
the girl to keep the hot plates on the
sideboard. The fish and cakes will be
passed around, and the basket of rolls,
the platter of melon and the bowl of
china aster or dahlias will be furniture
enough for the center.-Kansas City

The City Water Works.

In conversation with MT. Ashman last evening it was learned that it i. his intention to run a drift of 40 feet from the bottom of the city well Three responsible miners have agreed to do the work for $200, which is $5 a foot. MT Prindiville has already sub scIibed $64 toward the amount, and q committee will go around Monday with subscription paper to obtain the balance, $136. There should be no difficulty in obtaining this small amount, as all the consumers of city water should be willing to contribute for the improvement and maintenance of an institution that effects such a large saving to them annually.
