LITTLE TOMMIE PANTS.
He and His Chum Have Become Great
Spellers-Some Poetry.

IEAARhANA, OCl. Il.
DEAR GAzETTE-Me and my chum is a
goin' to the publick school this year and
doin' tolerable well SO far, cause when we
had our weekly spellin' match last Friday
and Bub spelled "tO-mater'' and l spelled
''fiz-zy-cal' all of 'em looked sorter sur
prised-like and the teacher said as how we
two might stand up for couple of hours
as sorter example for the rest of 'em.
Mebby we will get the prize.
Bub is a bully Teller, with a hart that's
as much too big for his karkass as his
clothes is too little for it, cause you know
Bub amt got no pa, and his ma, Miss Par
alec kneenoggle what runs the little ba-
kerry store On the corner, is sorter poor
like and has a hard time keepin' wolves
outen the door, and can't buy much clothes
and things for Bub. My pa says he has
knowed Miss Paralee Kneenoggle long
time and that she was left poor old maid
many years ago, and afterwards married
her husband. who was Thomas hawked in
the head and killed by the Injuns durin'
the Mexican war and never came back any
more that anybody knows OF. Pa he helps
'em right smart and sent 'em
over an old pair of his pants the other
day to make over for Bub, but Bulbs Ma
she got hot at it and fired 'em back agin,
and wanted to know how she could be ex-
pected to make britcheS for two-legged
boy outen one-legged pants, and told Pa as
how he might turn 'em over to his own
family, and she KNOWN that all our family
was maidens made Pa mad to so em in an
old bro en- window-pane upstairs, for a
lamberkin, and reckon they are there yet.
Bulbs Ma is mitey good woman, and reads
the Bible a heap and tends to her own
knittin' and just makes the best donuts you
ever did eat. You see Bub was born at an
early age, and while he was quite young his
Ma sorter thought he orter have q name of
some kind and bein' a pieus woman, she
thought a good, nice Scriptural name would
suit her best so she hunted and hunted
through her Bible. and finally dropped on
''Beelzebub," cause she said she never
knowed any boy to be named that, and it
wasn't common name, and so that's how
my chum got to bein' called "Bub,' for
short. When l named my Cote after my
chum, Pa sorter kicked, and said l didn't
know what it meant, but one day when my
old cote upset him in the swili tub and
butted the galluses nearly off Of him, Pa
said he reckoned I'd hit the right name,
after all.
You see. after that GAZETTE scholarship
contest got gon' and my Pa got so much
interested that he kept me writin' letters
all the time, why nothin' would do Pa but I
must go to some school away from home,
cause Pa likes to keep up with the process
sion as much as he can so after readin' all
the advertisements about the schools he
settled on Vassar and set all my ants, ex-
cept Ant Mollie, the educated one, to cuttin'
and sowin' wardrobes for me. Pa said he
liked Vassar college best cause he was sat-
isfied in his own mind that he knew old
man Vassar when he was in the army, and
that he was nice man and taught
a deestrick school before he enlisted,
and then, too, Pa said that when

COME SHOUTING.
THE FARMERS TO RISE TO MAKE
STANFORD GREAT.
Stanford and Morgan-Allu Hail,
the Ticket of Reform.
Special to the Gazette.


san FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. Ex-senator
Stanford's plans for the Farmers Alliance
nomination for president Of the United
States are well laid. The ticket will be
Stanford and Polk or Stanford and Morgan,
and Stanford has already at work in his
interests some of the best political managers
and ma nipulators in America. If these
managers could have then own way about
matters, they would first secure for him the
Alliance nomination and then urge his
claims upon the Republican national con-
vention as the sure road to Republican vic
tory. This is r.. ille talk, but embraces
the scheme that is said to be in active
working order throughout the United
States. There are able and skillful politi-
clans who are only too anxious to serve the
senator as long as he foots the bill.
Senator Stanford will not pose as seeker
after the nomination; he is too asute for
that, but he wants it to come TO him IN the
form of mighty uprising of the farmers of
America in his behalf. If they should fail
to rise and come shouting, then the senator
can say he was never candidate and never
INDUCED even dream of being one.

Dust and tho Complexion.

Dust is the great enemy of health and of women's good looks. It settles in the skin, especially where there is little steam 10 help 1t; the wax and oily matter of the skin fix it till no ordinary washing will remove It. Wrinkles are accentuated by it. as they have a deeper bed to draw in the dust with the stylus of time. That is the reason so many women look about ten years younger when they find time to take their hot bath and the vapor has fifteen minutes or more to soften the tissues.
 There is nothing like steam for plnmping up the skin and washing out the grime which clouds every com plexion not daily treated to soap and hot water. How many have the heat ing pipe, of the furnace cleared of the years accumulation of dust? From the pipe coils it is ready to enter lungs and skin, and. being deadest of all dead matter, it is itself death to hair. to freshness of complexion and general vigor. Shirley Dare.

A Tow Hints About oil Lamps.

The tank, or reservoir, for holdiAo the oil should be of metal, rather than china or glass. Wicks should be dry. be just long enough to reach to tho bottom of the reservoir. and be softly woven. They should be just wide enough to easily fill the wick-holder, without being pulled or squeezed iA. It is necessary, too. that they be soaked with oil just before using the lamp. When the lamp is lit the wick should be. at first. turned dows and then slowly raised, as i, burns. One great essential to avoid all odors from lamp is to have il thoroughly clean and all charred wich and dust removed before lighting. In putting out a lamp, where 1t has nc extinguishing appliances, tho wict should be turned down and 8 sl,arT puff blown across the top of the chimney but no, down on 1t. A littl. systematic care in the use of lamr will bring. instead of discomfort, , warm. cheering atmosphere to th, home.-N. Y. Ledger.

How Children Are Spoiled.


 It is easy enough to spoil child. No great art is demanded. Only thrcs or four things gre requisite to com plete the work. Make ap the nurses wait on him and fly at his bidding; let him learn never to go for a drink, but always have it brought to him; at ten years of age have Bridget tie his shoe strings; let him strike auntie because she would not get him a sugar plum. He will soon learn that the house is bis realm. and he is to rule it. He will come up into manhood one of those precious spirits that demand obei- sanco and service and with the theory that the world is his oyster. which. with knife. he will proceed to open, If that does not spoil him. buy him . horse; it is exhilarating and enlarging for man to own such an animal. A good horseback ride shakes up the liver and helps the man to be virtuous; for it is almost impossible to be good with too much bile, an enlarged spleen, or a stomach off duty. We congratulate any man who can afford to own N horse; but if boy own one, he will probably ride on 1t to destruction; he will stop at the tavern for drinks; he will bet at the races. There will be room enough in the saddle for idleness and dissipation to ride, one of them before, and one of them behind. The bit will not be strong enough to rein in at the right place. There are men who all their lives have been going down hill, and tho reason Is that in boyhood they sprang astride horse, and got going so fast that they have never been able to stop.--T.

French Girls and American Girls.

The young French girl finds liberty in marriage, the young American girl loses it. Our daughters detach them selves from family in marrying; the Americans enter one; they are suddenly surrounded by circle by proprieties. by worldly customs by social duties, by the exigencios of conjugal fidelity. by the duty of defending reputation which has become common property all serious things which transform their character, their manner of being, and gradually model them after the like nesses of their surroundings, Two or three years after her marriage the American in France is a woman of the world. and if she could lose her accent nothing would distinguish her from her new circle. Doubtless Tor merly she commanded and was obeyed; {; but how far she was from occupying the position she occupies in France! True. shs did not yield to respect; but in return she did not inspire it. She had moro per sonal initiative. but she did not gov ern others; she tormented her mother, and perhaps lod her. but the men of her family did not deferentially ask her counsels. Her husband in America would seek her advice for nothing. She might be favored companion in conjugal life; she would not be. as in France, the wife the friend who shares all tho projects Of the husband. is associated in all his acts, and makes Of coniugal life the noble life in common.

Husbands and Wives.

A wife who knows many wives says "Some husbands, when they get home at night. tell their wives all about the business of the day, and about thei, bank account. and about the people they met. and about what was spoken of. and about everything else, Other husbands never tell their wives about their doings during the day, never speak of the state of their iinanccs and never refer to their business in their households. The wife of such a husband knows nothing of his affairs, and is apt to be upset by bad news ol crushed by finding out that he is on the road to ruin. From what l have known through my acquaintance with many families for long years l am ready to say that husband should always tell his wife about his business and about the affairs of the day."- Banner of Light
