The Blind Drummer.

There is one of the best tobacco
drummcrs in the country" remarked
gentleman rs an elderly-looking man
with long grey beard, in company with
young woman, passed up the street.
The gentleman walked arm in arm
with his companion and no one would
have noticed anything peculiar about
him until he came to Il crossing and
then his companion spoke to him. his
step faltered, his foot was put out as if
afraid to advance. His eyes were
turned straight ahead and never sought
the ground. They were sishtless. The
man was Mr.. James Harrison. of Rich
mond. Va, and the woman was his
daughter Mr. Harrison travels for a
plug tobacco factory and is regarded
as one Of the best drummers on the
road. For more than twenty years he
has made the rounds with two daugh-
ters. First one of them grew up from
girl to woman and was married. The
second one then took her place, and
has since been his constant companion.
She goes about with him from store to
store, helps him with his samples at
the train and the hotels, attends to
tickets and baggage-in short does
everything that Il tender loving wo-
man could do for the blind. She Is his
eyes. The two are known in every
city in the country.

No PERSON who examined the matter
carefully has the slightest belief that the
interest on funds deposited by the state
treasurer in banks can be collected by
the state. The law requires that the
money be kept in the vaults of the treas
ury and this every state treasurer has
completely ignored and wisely, las the vault
is very unsafe depository and the treas
urer who would persist in leaving the
large balance the state always has on
hand, il such place would be unable to
procure signers TO his official bond.
The proper thing for the atate to have
done was to designate certain banks
where these balances might be deposite,
relieve the state treasurer of responsible
ity for its safe keeping while thus depos-
tied ana have the interest accrue to the
benefit of the state. In justice to them
selves the treasurers acted properly in
taking the precaution to remove the state
funds from an unsafe depository. If the
slate could bring action at all against the
treasurer 1t would seem to tie for violat-
ing the law in the removal of the funds
and not for recovering that which could
not legally be earned either for the state
or the officer. The treasurer has no right
in law to deposit any balance on hand
either for his own benefit or that of the
state and if II Is illegal for him to claim
the interest it is likewise illegal for the
state to do so. Had he busted himself in
raising the denomination of the currency
IN the treasury vaults and thus swelled
the volume on hand, the state could hard
ly step In and ask to be made the benefc-
larry of his illegal acts. In depositing tie
money he acted without authority of law.
but the act injured no one and was wholly
wanting In the element of criminality.
1t was only natural that great ado
should be made about the state funds
during the campaign. There was no sin
cerlty IN 1t but the people like to be hum
Rugged. tits likewise highly proper that
Gov. Peck, who is the creature of the
peculiar campaign methods of last wear
should continue to give proof of his orig
In. But law court and political gath
erlng are very different things and the
hurrah OF the latter is not of much force
! III the former.
1t Is to be hoped that action viii be
brought against the state treasurers SIM
ply TO demonstrate how small the basis
| on which an immense amount of cam
palgn argument can rest. Treasurer
Hurshaw is determined to facilitate mat.
ters by waving certain things which
might delay prosecution. The proceed
ing will be costly thing for the state
bat the result may not be without value
to the people as it may teach them that
campaign cries are not gospel, and plat
forms are arranged more with reference
to catching votes THAI instituting reforms.

Uses of Games.

With the young games are invalua-
BILE SAYS Entertainment Children
will learn to play games before they
can read the printed rules, and the
events discussed on the cards of histor-
zeal games become fixed in their minds
long before they come to the history
class in school. The pleasure of II
game a child associates with the facts
learned in playing it, and it is not a
task TO learn in that way.
As for games for stakes, they are the
good grain of our field that has been
made into deadly spirits. The games
are good as the corn is good, but
through misuse some have become
poisonous. We would not abstain
from corn-bread because whisky is a
product of the grain; neither will
abstain from dominoes or other games
because men have misused them;
rather by their pure aud proper use
will build on them for future benefits
as / may.
But games are not the work of life.
AT best they are but play, and like
condiments they must be used judi
ciously. We should not let games of
any sort interfere with the serious
work of life-with study. labor or bod
lily rest. When the tired body is cry
ing for rest games have no claims on
us, and when humanity is demanding
our help amusements should be post
poned. Let us have games. but let us
use them as we ought. They will help
us 10 keep our faces turned toward the
bright side of life.

PEOPLE who have given some attention
to the dolngs of the English parliament
have doubtless often wondered what was
meant by the expression accepting the
Chiffon Hundreds" A person desiring
TO quit parliament or who chooses to 90
before his constituency to determine
whether they approved of any of his &C
tions:when not in harmony with the policy
of his party, always accepted the Chiffon
Hundreds.
The explanation is this: No member of
parliament can resign, but he can accept
some other office which will terminate
his term in parliament. Accepting tie
command of the Chiffon Hundreds Gre
ates vacancy in parliament. The Chill
ton Hundreds is really fiction as the re
is no such body.

CONTRARY to general expectation, Leon
ard Perrin was found guilty of concealing
portions of the money stolen from the
Hurley bank. Els sentence is rather a
light one for an offense of that kind,
being only 500 and costs, the latter of
which are about $1,000 1t is possible
that the light sentence is due to the fact
that PERKINS, defense was strong one,
and would have resulted in his acquIttal

prosecution. Perrin is 62 years old and
worth $4,000. He will be subjected to
another trial in Waupaca county, where
he likewise deposited some of the alleged

GEORGE BANCROFT, the celebrated his
torian, died on Saturday last at his home
in Washington. Bancroft's greatest liter
airy work is his history of the United
States. This history places Bancroft al
most on level with Gibbon. The die
ton has something of the exuberance of
Macaulay and of:late years Bancroft has
busted himself in relieving it of much of
It's rhetoric.
In politics Bancroft was a democrat,
bat both parties delighted to honor him.
He served as secretary OF the navy and
was foreign minister to several of the
countries of Europe. He had met and
conversed with Lord Byron and Goethe
He had reached the advanced age of 81,
and until within the last two years was a
very industrious ritter.

A LADY, supervisor OF teaching at Pine
Ridge near where the fight with the In
dams occurred, says the Indians did not
begin the attack as reported. The H.
dams were surrendering their arms,
peaceably when a shot was fired by a
young buck who was in bad standing
with his tribe. Then the soldiers began
the firing. She says that in the fight many
squaws and children were unvoidably
shot, but the fact that squaws and
children were found Gea for two miles
around where the fight occurred and far
removed from the bodies of the men, is
proof that women and children were
followed in their flight and slaughtered.
The whole truth may be .old some day.
