pathic doses But, as Mr.. Cleveland said. If an
ounce of beef is a good thing why shouldn't we
enjoy family porterhouse steakf' says the
New 7 ork Herald. Also, if potatoes are good,
why not eat bushel and half at one mealf
The beauty of the HeraIFs free trade logic Is
that it carries its own refutation.

The Apportionment Problem.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.l
The only possible utility of a larger House
lies in the presumption that the smaller the
districts Congressman represent, the closer
they are brought to the body of their constit-
uents. But, at the same time, smaller districts
often means smaller men. And an increased
number Of representatives lessons the personal
responsibility of each to to the whole body of
the American people.

SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON.
THE great trouble about people who like to
hear themselves talk is that they want to do all
the talking.

the talking.
You remember the village bully. don't your
Big, scowling, boisterous, not overly tidy
wasn't he? OF course his hair was long, un-
kempt black. His eyebrows met, his
neck was thick, his knuckles were
knotted his gait was a defiant swagger
his voice sounded like the below of the big
bull which sported ring in its nose in the old
pasture field. You feared him, to be sure. He
was the giant, the dictator of the village
youths. The little girls trembled when they
passed him, and the little boys lodged
through the lanes and the fields to avoid
him. His word was law on the play
ground, he ruled the school, he turned pleas
ure into pain. laughter into tears, mirth into
misery. He gloried in a cut or bruise, smiled
when he kicked the dog or worried the cat,
grinned when he stoned the frogs, danced
with delight when he wounded a
bird-boisterous and bloody; he over
bearing, you forbearing. But the
village bully didn't get much pleasure out Of
the golden hours of life's prologue. after all.
He made his mates miserable, TO be sure, but
the sport tired him. The pains of others, which
gave him all his pleasure, left no pleasant men,
ories. Surely he must have had bad dreams, for
he was never good-natured or contented.
But, after all, he was the first to find that life
was tougher than his fists. He was the first to
learn that he who gives hard knocks must
take hard knocks. He aged faster than those
who stood in the same place as be on times
calendar. Still you shook under his
scowl and lodged his shadow The merry
shout was suppressed, the play paralyzed when
he looked oD. And then he vanished. Life
was brighter when he was missed, wasn't it?
Where did he 60? Well. he has never crossed
your path since, has he? He just dropped out
of sight. Only his memory remains. He
probably went to the wars. At all events he
went from bad to worse. He was a bully when
you knew him; if you saw him now he would
doubtless be a coward.
