Rip Van Wrinkles Speech at the CleVe-
land Cape Cod Banquet.
lIr. Chairman, Mr.. Cleveland, Ladies and
Gentlemen, and I may add Fellol0 Citizens;
1 must thank you for your very cor
dial reception. You must be aware that
nothing is more gratifying to an actor
than hearty round Of applause.
daughter. If during any OF my re-
marks you desire to infict upon me your
appreciation, l shall receive 1t with
pleasure. Renewed laughter A lit
tie applause upon an occasion or this
kind can do no harm. 1t serves several
good offices. Firstit assures the speak
er that he Is meeting with some little
appreciation, and what Is better, 1t gives
him an opportunity to think ABOUT What
he is going to say next. Laughter ana
applause.
Following the example Of preceding
speakers l shall make no allusion to
political matters. The precedent is
death stroke to me, and, indeed, L am
only restrained now from expressing to
YOU the distressed political condition OF
the country and the miserable situation
in which you find yourselves, by the be-
lief that you would understand rather
less about it when 1 got through than
you did before I began. Roars OF
laughter.
There IS one important fact you may
not be aware of. 1 was prominent
member of the decoration committee, l
was asked to lend my assistance. l said
I would. In fact, l came myself.
Laughter 1 discovered on my way
here a farm which has belonged to me
now for four years. On that farm l dis
covered nearly all the tiger lily that Is
to be seen in this hall. 1t is the only
crop / have been able TO raise on
that farm. Laughter. To honor
the guest OF this occasion the
whole farm is at your service. APP
plause. 1 am citizen OF Massachu-
setts and resident Of Cape Cod. am
happy to say that it is within my prov
ince to tell you that. Applause. 1
don't live in Sandwich, but that is my
misfortune, not yours. Laughter L
have said before, and l repeat 1t now,
that Sandwich is the most beautiful vii
lage in New England and the livelieSt
spot out Of Old England.
III were going TO pay professional
visit here it would be some inducement
for me to flatter you laughter, but
such is not the case. As a resident
among you I take pleasure in joining
with you in welcoming, with a warm
heart and an honest hand, Mr.. and Mrs:
Grover Cleveland. Great applause.
hope may be permitted to conclude
by repeating to you the words OF a
friend of mine: 81 wish you good health
and your families, and may you all live
long and prosper" Great applause

its Just the reverse-to pay a
patient when you can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. 1t isn't mere talk-it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. 1t has cured
thousands of the worst cases. where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all Dr..
Pierce's medicines are sold on.

bonded in surety company Is simple

quested by his empl, yer to furnish bond
in some stated amo int, goes to reliable
surety company and fills out and signs an
application The replication contains a
number Of questions regarding the char.
acter and antecedents OF the employe,
which must be answered fully nnd speeif
ically. All employments for ten years
last past must be clearly stated. with the
reason for leaving each. A complete de.
scription Of the appearance Of the appli.
cant Is noted on the back OF the npplica-
ton. At least four responsible persons
must be given us references To each Of
them special form Of questions is then
sent. Upon satisfactory answers to these
questions and upon careful private in
vestigation of the habits OF life Of the ap.
plicant, bond Is executed by The gnaran-

The wheat crop is looking fine. One OF
our citizens says there will be a good crop
of wheat this year, because he hasn't any

There are some right bad boys in this
community. When u little live.year.old
boy was cutting up at a terrible ratio, his
mother said: "Go along and hush, or I
will slap your jaws" The little fellow
said, "do it and then talk about it."

Delays are Dangerous.

The benefits accruing to poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
ct least two striking exemplif cations in
this county in the deaths of Messrs. De.
Witt G, Holcomb and s. B. Brownlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements we're promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers were
made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were
both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of
Newark, n. j., which Is represented in the
Fork by g. N. c. Boleman, and in this
city by G. ". Miller. This is one of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be-
ing in its 10th year of existence and hav-
Ing so millions of assets. 1t deserves
special mention for it's prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.
"Delays are Dangerous."-Every one
should promptly attend to this important
matter and thereby protect their wives and
children, in case of death, from the dread,
full inconvenience Of poverty. Look out
for the Agents OF the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company, and take policy
without delay. G. W. MILLER,
