Oonolusive Rvidence al Last.

just before the shower the other day. says
the Minneapolis Tribune, man rushed into one
Of the big State street dry goods stores selected
a 81 umbrella and said to a salesman:
II want this charged. l want to take it with
me, and I've just thirty minutes to catch my
train
what nancy" languidly inquired the sales
man.
20. Little, Kenosha, replied the man.
Got an accounts?
Had one for five years.
Are you Mr.. LttleS"
Il am"
The salesman called over a floor walker and
explained that Mr.. o. Little of Kenosha. who
had en- account. and was Mr.. Little himself had
selected a 81 umbrella, which he wanted to have
charged and take with him.
"Um-ahy said the floor walker. 81 know
Mrs Little but"
well, I'm her husband and pay the bills, ."
said the man.
''Um-ah!' said the fioerwalker "You have
no idea how we are imposed upon-the rules of
the house are so strict-do you know any one
in the store, Mr.. Littey"
Mr.. Little thought a moment, and said he
knew Mr.. Beaten in the carpet department. Mr..
Little and the fioor-walker unfortunately found
that Mr.. Beaten was ill and not down that day.
MIR. Little grew red and hot and the floor
walker pompous Mr. Little finally recolected
that he knew man at the glove counter, one
Mr.. Kidd. Unfortunately, it was discovered
that Mr.. Kidd was gone to lunch. Mr. Little
grew desperate and the floor walker suspicious.
Mr.. Little didn't know anybody else in the store
or out OF it, and showed pooketfu of letters
addressed to 20 Little. Kenosha, Wis" The
floor walker said he was sorry, but etc. Mr..
Little was determined to have that UNI brela
charged and take It away with him besides.
He argued, threatened, pleaded. Twas all in
vain.
Suddenly he made frantic grab at his vest,
ripped open the button, fumbled wildly for an
instant and then exhibited an embroidered
bit of linen.
"Therel' said he DO you 'spose I'd be
wearing o. Titles shirt il wasn't o. Little?''
That goes, said the floor-welker.

Alliance Exchanges.

theoretically alliance exchanges are very
good things, but somehow or other those
who put their money in them do not always
get it out again. In all parts of the country
! in which these exchanges have been estab-
lished there has been more or less trouble
in connection with them. The cause of the
trouble is that dishonest men manage in
many instances to get control of them.
A great many men go into the alliance to
use it for personal ends. Some want office
and they play the part of demagogues, mis-
leading the farmers by all sorts of false
statements. Others want to make money
and they play the part of embezzlers, taking
advantage of the trust reposed In them.
At first it looked very much as if the
stockholders in the Atlanta exchange would
lose nothing because it was expected that
the suretles of the manager would pay
promptly the amount of the defalcation. 1t
turns out, however, that they intend to do
nothing of tho kind. Part of the missing
money was taken before they became re-
sponsible for the managers conduct. 1t
looks now as if those who sold goods to the
exchange as well as the exchange itself
would suffer pretty heavy losses.
But this Atlanta affair is only one of
many of similar kind. 1t is understood
that there are places in Texas where any
one who speaks in favor of alliance ex-
changes runs the risk Of being mobbed.
The farmers, of course. are not to blame
for the misfortunes which overtake their
exchanges. but these misfortunes show them
as plainly as anything can that many of
those who profess to be their devoted friends
and express willingness to make all sorts
Of sacrifices in their interests have no other
purpose in view than to rob them. And as
time goes on they will have other expert
ences that will tend to teach them to beware
of loud-mouthed friends.

An Interesting Discussion.

That was a rather interesting discussion
at the Agricultural Society convention in
Athens on Wednesday between Farmer
| Moore of Hancock county and Col. Living
ston. Farmer Moore opened the discussion
by asserting that what was needed in Geor-
gia was net more money, but more children.
| Col. Livingston declared that illiteracy was
increasing in the state at the rate Of II per
cent. per annum, and he wanted to know
how Farmer Moore proposed to educate
more children. Farmer Moore said he had
twelve children, each of whom had pretty
fair education, and be declared be did not
have to import a woman from Kansas to
tell Georgia farmers what to do.
From the applause which greeted Farmer
Moore's remarks it was apparent that he
had the sympathy of the agriculturists.
Georgia farmers are much better posted
than Mrs Lease as to what they want, and
they are much better informed upon any
question now before the public. Mrs.
Leases whole stock in trade is her
ability to talk loud and long without saying
anything Of value, and she doesn't care ap-
parently whether or not there Is any truth
in her statements. Her purpose is TO gain
notoriety, and doubtless she expects to
make money out Of the notoriety which she
gains
There are those who think that Mrs.
Lease is a very remarkable woman. She is
remarkable for her ability to secure atten-
ton from those who know that most of her
statements have no foundation in fact In
Washington some months ago, when she
attempted to address an audience of intelli-
gent women, many left the hall in which
she was speaking.
One level-headed man like Farmer Moore
is worth more to Georgia than hundred
women like Mrs. Lease. He has reared
family of a dozen children who will be an
honor to the state, and he would not utter
a word that he did not know to be true.
And he has no more use for demagogue
than the average citizen has for a rattle
snake,

Didn't Wait to Hear II.

A large. middle-aged man, with q kind Of
how-are- you-eyeryb body look on his big round
face. says the Chicago Tribune, stepped into a
south side street car yesterday morning aud sat
down by the side Of a laddery youth whom,
after few remarks of a preliminary nature
pertaining TO the weather, he addressed in this
style:
II reckon you were born and raised a blonde,
warn't you, young MANI"
IL suppose so, - answered the other.
Il don't often make mistakes about things of
that kind" reiOined the large man, heartily. /

there's another curious thing about that he
added, turning half round in his seat, crossing
one leg over the other, and growing confiden-
tial. Mature never makes any mistakes,
either. When nature gives a young fellow a
sort o pinky skin and light brown hair she
doesn't give him blue black mOustache. That's
why"
The slender youth hastily crossed the car and
sat down on the other side.
You're right, said the cheerful, middle aged
party, following him over. It's altogether too
sunny on that side. Now, this thing Of a blue
black moustache on blonde face, you know,
with light eyebrows, and"

the now painfully blonde young man fercey,

Certainly, certainly. That's what l was
coming to. Lord bless You, I've got nephew
nearly as old as you are, l reckon and he's got

Say! Look here What do care about your

That's just exactly what I'm getting at. He

off at the next crossing!''
And he looked like a streak of perdition On

But the young chap. without waiting for the
next crossing jumped of.
Flop Ker1op! Kerflophop.
The car was going at tbs rate OF twelve miles
hour
When he picked himself up he felt of his
blue-olack mustache to see if it was all there.
Then he picked up his hat.
And he stood IN the middle of the track and
swora at the flying cable car until he had to get
out of the way for the next one.

Some effective method should be devised
for Furnishing people who flagrantly brighten
children. Little Frank Owen is now
homeless wanderer because of the fragrant
falsehood told him by Michigan School
nam" at his fathers home in wesso. Be-
cause the little lad had an old rusty revolt
yer at school she told him that it was pen
itentiary offense. That the statement was
an arrant lie did not concern her. All
that she had in view was to brighten the
child and to "have fun" with him. Some
people who claim to be quite respectable,
and even religious, do not scruple TO lie
when they wish to shave fun AS the lad
was only IL years old, and the woman was
his instructor, he did not suspect her of de-
hbsrately lying to him. Possibly she
would have felt quite indignant if any one
had told her she had lied. But that's just
what she did. So the little lad became so
alarmed that he left home for fear of arrest,
and his distressed parents, since last June,
have suffered and must continue to suffer
all the pangs of constant anxiety simply
because that woman who was entrusted to
instruct him had set the example Of lying
oy way of amusement.

Decidedly the most unique elopement on
record recently occurred in Minnesota,
where two good looking young married
women ran away from Anandale with one
barber. At all events he will not have to

those two women there will probably not be
much hair left on lis head or face for the
wind to whistle through. If he escapes from
those two women alive he will make the
closest shave he ever made in his tonsorial

THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.
My mind let's 60 a thousand things
Like dates OF wars and deaths of kings,
And yet recalls the very hour
Twas noon on yonder village tower,
And on the last blue noon of May
The wind came briskly up this way.
Crisping the brook beside the road;
Then, pausIng here, set down its load,
OF pine scents and shook listlessIy
Two petals from that wild rose tree.

Mr.. ]. Sloan Fassett, the secretary of the
national republican committee, was in
stalled as collector of the port of New York
Wednesday. The office is one of the most
important in the gift of the government.
Mr.. Erhardt, conspicuously honest repub-
lican, was removed to make room for Mr..
Fassett for the reason, it is alleged, that he
would not remove good officers in the GUS
tom house end appoint party workers.
Immediately after Mr.. Fassett was in
stalled in office he received from an adj
mirer cutlass, to which was attached
card containing the following inscription:
Republican Directions-U Use daily, morn-
ing, noon and night, until every demo-
cratic head is severed.
Presented to the Hon. j. Sloat Fassett.
Aug. II. 1891, collector of the port of New
York.
This cutlass is an instrument of torture to
be used in beheading democrats. Use it
quickly and success is assured for the Re-
publican party.
The foregoing is indicative of the sentf-
ment which pervades the Republican party
That party has no respect for the civil serv-
ice reform law, and would have it repealed
if it dared. 1t evades it whenever it can do
80 with safety. The chairman of the no
tional republican committee, Mr.. Clarkson,
when Assistant Postmaster General, re-
moved nearly all the democratic postmasters
in the country, and Mr.. Fassett, the secre-
tary of that committee, will make short
work Of the democrats in the New York
custom house.
The Republican party cares nothing for
the interests of the people OF the welfare of
the country. Its aim is to retain control of
the government at any cost and by any
means.
Women don't like to fail in an earnest
hustle for masculine admiration as
general everyday thing, and when they do
they usually appear to feel real downright
sour about it. That's about the status of
the Kansas circumstances between Miss
Pfaffman and Mr.. Juvenal at Kansas City,
where Miss Pfatfman decided to give her
recreant flame real good blowing up.n
Not satisfied with the customary feminine
verbal hurricane, the vindictive spinster
placed q lot of dynamite under the Juvenal
residence aud turned it loose. Il was lucky
for the gentleman he wasn't in, as his house
was wrecked, his sister-in-law fired into a
picture, his wife thrown out doors. and all
of his neighbors jolted into perfect panic
of alarm. But the police couldn't find the
ardent instigator of all this upheaval.
Possibly she had to run SO hard to get away
from her own plot that she hasn't yet been
able to stop herself. Any how it is pretty
plain that she doesn't like Mr.. Juvenal any
more, and she probably adopted that
hysterical manner Of notifying him.

When the pretty and wilful wife of
wealthy DIR. Cronyn grew repentant Of her
foolish escspade in joining an opera chorus
in fit of pique because of the fancied in
difference of her husband and became dis
gusted with the people with whom she was
thrown in contact by her duties, she was
prevented from returning to her luxurious
Buffalo home by the eager persuasions of
Manager Carleton. That was wrong. In
stead of persuading the foolish woman TO
continue her folly Carleton should have
taken the part of an honorable man and a
gentleman and not placed any impeachment
in the way of her repentance. But very few
theatrical managers have any of the in-
stincts of either of those characters.
Whether they ruin few lives and home
more or less is of no consequence to them
SO long as they manage to secure drawing
attractions" and can turn the downfall of
their victims TO account in the way Of ad-
vertising for the show. So long as the
woman brings in money for a season what
does Carleton care what becomes of her
afterward? People who visit that show
hereafter might do well to scan the various
Attractions" for themselves and form their
own estimates of what the tendency Of the
gaudy frivolity of such a life is likely to
be, and value it accordingly. Conducted on
such principles. the show is simply a
travelling enticement to the weak and an
itinerant menace to the sanctity of the
home.

Juvenile depravity in it's most shocking
form is exemplified in the past conduct
Of an Ohio girl in Stark county. When
only 10 years Of age she literally swore
away her own fathers reputation, and had
him sent to the penitentiary for life, by
charging him with an atrocious assault
upon her. This was rendered all the more
easy by the old mans Incorporate habits.
Now that he has served eleven years of his
sentence, and she is married, she freely
oonfesses that she swore falsely TO send him
30 prison. Why that should have been
done is not clear. unless it was prompted
by sheer childish spite for whipping or
some other disagreeable experience. So
Gov. Campbell will PARDON the man on con-
dition that he shall keep sober and leave the
state. These precautionary provisos are
probably inserted to provide against the
possibility that the girl may be lying now
instead Of having he'd at first. Such people
cannot be readily believed under any Dir
cumstances. When humanity is reduced to
that stratum of depravity there is not much
good left in 1t.
