Eli Perkihs Talks Tam.

Omaha Bee: "Do you know what

No; wha. does il mean"

which has lust bought the potteries in
Trento on and East Liverpool.
what are you buying our potteries
for?" I asked.
1--WE are buying them because We
are sick OF paying your go per cent,
Yankee tariff. We are going to get
even with YOU Yankees by bringing our
manuifact ories over here or by buying
your manufacturers out.
"'That IL, you are going to emigrate
here and make iron and flour and
cloth and pottery, instead Of making
them in England and sending them
here
"'Yes, that's it,
"'But suppose we get free trade

Doing the Right Thing.

New York sun: The train was lust
pulling out OF Weston, Mo, for ~. Joe,
when one of the passengers in the
smoker put his head so far out of the
window that Il man near him felt il
his duty to utter "A word of warning.
"ies, it, "a little risky" replied the
man, as he pulled in his head and sat
down, "but ! was looking tor II grave
in that field. Reckon it has been
plOushed under and forgotten"
How did they happen to bury him
there"
Its a sad story, gentlemen-very
sad. II was just ten years this month,
and was living here then. 4 stranger
came in from the west with three
horses to sell, and he acted so rueerly
that We clapped HIM in Jail. lie never
denied that he stole 'en, and one
night the boys turned out and hung
him to a tree back there. That used
to be our way OF discouraging the
business. and believe it is still prac-
ticed further west. We buried him
near the tree, and it was his grave
was looking for"
Never denied it, eh ?" queeried one
OF the listeners.
Never did, although we gave him
every chance. just Il week from the
time he was hung we found out that
he was an honest, honorable farmer,
living about forty miles below us.
While he hadn't stolen the horses he
had killed "a man, and he no doubt
believed we were hanging him for that.
We felt mean enough when we discov-
cred that he was no horse thief, and
that all he had done vast pop "A man
over, and u Kansas man at that. and
he must have been sadly puzzled over
our conduct. We made such repara-
tiOn as We could, however"
''ln what way?"
"Oh,we rounded upthegrave, passed
resolutions OF sympathy for the wife,
sent the horses on home. and "a few
months later went up and married
his widow. She's in the next car
behind"

HELP YOURSELF.

Fight your own battles. Hoe
your own row. Ask no favoIs from
any one, and you win succeed a
thousand times bettet than one
who is always beseeching some
ones Influence and patronage. No
one will eIer help YOU as you can
help yourself, because no one will
be so heartily interested in your
affairs. The first step will be gu CHI
long one, perhaps; bat carrying
your own way up the mountain
you can make each one lead to
another, and stand firm while you
chop still another out. Men who
have made fortunes are not those
who have had five thousand dollars
gwen them to start with but boys
who have started fair with a well
earned dollar or two.
Men who acquire fame have
never been thr:,st into popularity
by puffs begged or paid for. or
or given in friendly spirit. They
have ontstretched their own
hands and touched the public
heart. Men who win love do their
own wooing, and never knew a
man to fail so sigually as one who
induced his afectionate grand
mother to speak a good word for
him. Whether you work Tor fame
for love, for money, or for any
thing else, work with your hands
and heart and brain. Say 81 will.
and some day you will conquer,
Never let any man have it to say,

FJorMEN AND nonsEs

"Lf thou hastIuu with The foot
mon, and they have weariod thee,
then how coust thou contend With
horses. "- ler. .-12-5.
Coptrst and comparison are
two fayorite ways of nnpressing
truth. The Master wlnlc on
earth tpught at tunes in tbi3 man
ner. Taking beautiful images
from Nature he would enforce his
gospel We have both in the
above scripture. The contrast ii
very evident. "Ii you have been
running with Soormen and they
weary you, how can yoW contend
with horses" lf things Of time
are too much for you what snail
things ID eternity be? r. things u
time are too hard for you, what
shall it be when time breaks upon
tho shore Of eternity.
All of US know what it IS to
run with footman. We haye
tried It and are Going It to-day;
/ Cay ~ day we chase him until
We are weary. Let us notice some
Of these footm-n:
daily RgspoxsmrIITEs -
Yon start out each day upon the
race with these footmen. Some
of them ale large. A new set
comes every morning. The moth
er looks her boy in the face and
wonders if he will ever call her
blessed and be a pillar to the
State, or wear the hangman's
rope, or fill a drunkaid's grave.
The preacher has his responsible
tues, the lawyer his, the merchant
his, the farmer his, and the teach /.
er his. They come treading cn
our heels daily. elf you would
be my disciple take up your cross

2-TEMrTATIoNs--Com along
at our side not only daily, but
hourly. Satan has them 50 ar
ranged that when one leaves you
another one comes In to the race,
fresh, and soon makes you weary
Of life. The devil has some temp
ia ions that begin with you In a
slow walk aud before you are
aware Of 1t they are chasing you
to death. Moderate orsoclal dram,
card playing N parlors ard So
cial, innocent { ~ games at balls.
My young friend, when these
come to you IN The race, take the
Sword Of the SPIRIT aud it shall
enable you to outruu all Of them
and claim the prize at last.

what 1t IS to contend with horses
