Don't Fool the Ignorant.

An Afternoon contemporary, which
should and probably does know bet
ter, remarks that provisions and meat
were never az dear in price as they
are te-day in New York. The work.
ingman's market basket is paying
tbs increase in taxes imposed by the
Republican party"
This is either display Of or an
appeal to ignorance Ordinary gro
ceries have not been for many years
as cheap as they are now, and every
time the 1orkingman's wife sends to
the corner grocery for sugar she
reaps direct benefit from ths No
kinley bill of about two conts for
every pound she buys.
AS for meat, that is undoubtedly
high in price this year, but the meat
VIC eat does not pay a tariff. Cattle
ere fattensd on corn, and the corn
crop iast year was failure. Hence
the high price Of corn, and of course,
of meat, too.
But this price has about as much
to do with the Mckinley or any other
bill, except the butchers as thund-
er peal has to do with lemon pesl

With screams the animals, anxious
for their young, attacked the farmer
Thsir cries attracted other rats, sud
from a dozen nests came answering
cries. Bsfor= Latin could realizs
his danger the fierce little animals
were all on him, biting his face, neck
and limbs. The farmer yelled with
pain, struck, stampsd and kicked at
the rats, but they hung on like bull
dogs until, bleeding from u scsre Of
wounds, he broke away from his dos
perate fight and reached home near
ly dead.
Blood poisoning set III and death

money. At this the accomplice on

the $4,000 bag of gold out of the

would kill them, and all that sort Of

The New York Press tells the fol

an interesting story ia told, and it is
true story, OF merchant -ho inssrt-

that he wanted book-koepsr, mar.

inserted for week, came tho frat

ysrtisomsnt vAs taken oat. Now
here Is q curious condition Of affairs.
The men who appealed wore men of
education; many of them had seen
the traditional bettor days, yet they
are willing to accept s1os week, q
trihe less, at the very time when ths
great army Of labor is striking for an
increase from 81 day of eight or
nine hourN duration.
The question naturally arises, is it
better to teach ones sons trade or
to give them what ia technically
known as an education. There is 8
heap of thought in that, and if the
material prosperity OF the house
smiths and the working0en of what
ever name may be taken, on the one
hand and the nervous, feverish snx-
iety of the educated men seeking
clerical situations may be taken as
an index on the other.
There are men of brains and ex-
tensive intellectual scquirement, who
have no business tact, aud to them it
is a continual puzzle, how men who
are away down morally and intellect
ually succeed in business and money
making. There is another useful
class Of people, men of energy and
great hand workers whose work
seems TO turn to ashes while others
less industrious thrive. The one
possesses the power of self direction;
the other does not. - That is the
cause OF different results.

ship, York county. had sensation in
the shape Of an attempted elopement,
which was nipped in the bud by the
quick pursuit of the father of the
girl.
George Goohem and Ellen Wilday
lived in the same rural retreat, and
had met each other so often that
they soon felt the course of true love
which burned with such an ardor
that they thought an early marriage
was the only thing that could quench
the fire which burned within their
hearts, but when George asked fair
Ellen's stern parent he met the re-
fusal on the ground that his adora-
bic was too young to wed, aud al
so intimated that George had moth:
ing but his hard earnings az a farm
laborer to support wife.
This sat heavily on Georges heart,
SO he planned an elopemont on last
Friday evening while the old man
was at the store discussing York Co
politics. But the mother was homo
and saw him drive away with Ellen,
and II is possible if George hadn't
carelessly dropped the remark that
he was going to see the parson,
Mrs. Widely would not have become
suspicious. She called her husband
and explained the departure OF
George and Ellen, repeating the re-
mark that George dropped about
the parson.
Then the irate father mounted a
good horse and started in pursuit
He soon caught up and just to fright
en- the couple he fred three shots
into the air. These shots brought
an unconditional surrender. So bad
ly frightened Was the girl that
she foolishly jumped out of
tho buggy and with such force
that she suffered severe sprain Of
the ankle. Georges courage also
oosed OFT and he pleaded that he
only intended it as Joke. But the
father did not believe
him. BE, however, cooled of. and
told George if he would drive Ellen
back he would forgive him and prob
ably might agree to Let him havs FL

ity have sued seven New York pa-
pers for publishing more than the
law allows about the execution Of
murderers by electricity. The next
York State Legislature can repeal
that part OF the law that excludes
representatives Of the press into oil
places where government public bug
mess is transacted. No man -
though he be murderer should be
allowed to be executed in such a way
that the public are shut out from

Ths wheat crop is t~ent ty per cent.
short; the rye crop which sis much
more important, and upon which the
people largely depend for their sub
sistenco, is 60 per cent short. In
some provinces the people are living
on the bark Of trees and other un-
wholesome food; many Of the people
are PROSTATE with hunger and ty-
plus fever
As if to aggravate the situation to
the utmost, the ignorant and orthc-
dox Russians, with she Gar at their
head believe that the famine is 6
judgment sent by God to punish
Russia for its tclerance OF Jews and
other dissenters from the orthodox
faith, and tho only way to mitigate
tho famine is 10 persecute the Jews
with new degree OF ferocity. Oi

to pay their taxes, they are hogged.
