just do Your Best.

The signs are bad when folks commence
A-anding fault with providence,
And balkin' cause the earth don't shake
At cv'ry prancin' step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less than little he would bc
Ell stripped of self, and stark and bare
He hung his sign out anywhere.
My doctcrn is to lay aside
Contentious, and be satisfied;
Jest do your best, and praise er blame
That follers that, counts jest the same.
I've allus noticed great success
Is mixed with troubles, more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest.

The N0blest Industry ON Earth.

Under the above head Hon. E. J. Far
mer, of Cleveland, Ohio, has the follow
ing to say:
"There is probably no subject at the
present time more worthy of attention
and consideration, or that moro directly
affects the general welfare of the world
than does the question of gold and sill
yer mining.
"Gold and silver are real wealth, and
the standard by which all other wealth
is measured. Their production is the
creating of new wealth; not only SO far
as it's intrinsic value is concerned, but it
is wealth that, when produced, is the
germ or means of producing additional
wealth. They are different in their re-
suits from that of other productions, as
they are not eaten, drank, worn out or
destroyed; their influence and their mo-
tion are perpetual.
"Gold and silver are the lifc-blood of
all trade and commerce, of man ufactures,
arts, sciences and learning; their posses
sion is the chief aim and consideration of
all countries and civilized peoples; they
are the standard stock or working capi-
tai of the world. They are magical as
we'll as real in their influences. The pro-
ducer or possessor of any given quantity
of gold or silver can utilize it more
readily and to better advantage than can
the possession of any other kind of
property of relatively computed value.
"Gold and silver being the precious
metals adopted for coinage, or as me-
dium of regulating the value of other
commodities, become the axes on which
revolve the trade, commerce and general
business, as we'll as the pleasures and
necessities Of everyday life; therefore
it is of the utmost Importance to oil tina
their production, results and requirement
should be made subjects for considera
ton and discussion, more than has hither
! to been DONE

He Preferred to Wait.

A weird sort of an experience was
that related by a gentleman, the
other evening, at his club. The
Washington Star gives it as follows:
had been invited to spend week
with some friends in the country,
some little distance out from the city,
and, they not being able, on account
of the illness of their coachman, to
send the carriage for me, as they had
usually done, directions had been
given me to take the street car out
as far as little suburban postoffice,
where I could meet the omnibus, or
stage, which would carry me on the
old turnpike road directly to my dis
tination.
1 know the way very we'll, having
traversed the road often in the family
carriage. AS instructed, I took the
car as far as the post Office and wait
ed there for the omnibus to come BY.
/ was told that it would arrive with
in twenty minutes. A little more
then that time had elapsed when the
vehicle rolled up in front of the door
and the driver, jumping off his perch,
came in to get the mail. I picked
up my traps, and, going out into the
rood, jumped upon the back step of
the stage and tried to open the door,
which was at the rear, for the pur-
pose of entering. Not succeeding
after repeated efforts, I shouted to
the passengers inside to let me in,for
the air was coldand biting. To my
surprise, none of them made any re-
sponse.
"Open the door," l cried; II want
to get in"
Still no one of them made motion.
All the seats were full, as we'll as I
could make out through the little
window, but there was room enough
for standing, and 1 was determined
to gain admittance.
"Let me in!" I shouted again,
banging on the door; but no attention
was paid, and the passenger nearest
the window, a villanous-looking
person. by the way, grinned exasper-
atingly. At that moment the driver
of the bus came out of the postoffice
with the bag of mail.
"Wot's up, chappie?" said he, i'm
pertinently.
II can't get in," I replied.
"You're in hard luck" said the
driver.
''The other passengers won't open
the door,"
"They can't said the driver.
"Why not?"
"Because they're chained togeth-
er," said the driver.
"Chained together?"
