We have seen preachers and others
invest in sharp words, in envy, ,jeal,,
ousy, contempt, petty spite, and all
sorts of unkind feelings, and we have
tried it ourselves, but we have yet to
record the first item of profit or happf-
ness that has ever resulted. They say
that revenge is sweet, and it may he,
in sense, but what low sense. and
how bitter in the end. Why don't we
love everybody and let everybody love
us?-Wes. Chr. Advocate.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
From the Southern Alliance Farmer.

Wh&GeVeEs IL lB. NOT An unuBuN bnIng
for the Democrats TO elect their local
ticket in strong Republican state, but
when the presidential contest rolls
around to see thelr mAjorlties swept
from the face Of the earth. For the past
quarter Of a century or more we have
seen the Democrats splitting their throats
with rejoicing over great of-yoar VIC
torieS-thst they affirmed meant the
election of their preSldent-Snd then,
when the time rolled around, 10 see his
tory repeat itself. Il Is always solid
north and west against q solid south, and
ever will be, and the north and west are
Republicans and the south Democrats.
In New York, the Tammany or the
county Democracy, one or che other, al
ways sells out, and thus the country Is
subjected TO four more years Of Repub-
lican misrule, oppression and robbery.
This same ancient story was repeated
on Tuesday Of last week, and all the old
Democratic politicians and papers are
shaking hands and trottlng out rOoSterS.
And what ls all thlS abouty Has the
political complexion Of the country
changed? Has single law been enacted
giving the people relief Has any great
movement been set on foot promising re-
form in public abusesS
Oh, mol The Democrats elected q
hRlf-breed governor in New York, ON a
Grover Cleveland financial platform, that
is nothing better than Republicanlgm.
They also met with partial victory In
Massachusetts and Iows--Rs no impor-
tant issues hinged on the state tickets
but there Is no possible chance to carry
either of these states In 1892 over the Re-
publican candidate, if the contest 10 be-
tween the two old parties.
On their side the Republicans carried
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Nebraska and Colo
RADIO by their old-tlme overwhelming
msjorities, and also elected their entire
ticket In Chicago, Democratic strong
hold.
II there Is any cause for Democratic
rejoicing over the Tuesdays elections It
Is beyond our comprehension. So far
from winning any great triumph, q re-
view of the field will show that they
have actually lost ground since the pre-
ceding election, 30 far as the State Legis-
latures are concerned
Even the isolated victories that the
Democrats did gain last week, mean
nothing except the temporary success Of q
few ambitious and Scheming politicians.
This party did not make its fight on any
one line, but It's platform was changed
like chameleon, to suit the voters Of
the various states wherein elections were
held. For instance, In Ohio free silver
was made the issue, while In New York
and the eastern states this demand was
repudlated or ignored. No great public
question was involved or settled, and the
contest narrowed down to campaign Of
venallty Or personal preference. The
great people and their welfare were not
known In the contest Il was as q cam
paign Of Doodle Va. ambition.
Mark this prediction: If the two old
parties make their fight on the same
lines in 1892, you are going to see the
story Of twenty-five years repeat itself.

the enrichment Of the classes.
The triumph or defeat Of q few old
moss-back politicians, like Flower and
Fassett, of New York, and Mckinley and
Campbell, Of Ohio, mean nothing to the
suffering people. What they are inter
ested in is the enactment Of laws that
will lift the burden from their shoulders,

hold great living principles above party.
The December Arena is probably the
most brilliant issue of this strong and Rg-
gresSlve review which has yet appeared.
Among the thinkers Of more than national
reputation who contribute to this issue
are Camille Flsmmarion, the eminent
French astronomer, who discusses recent
discoveries in the heavens; Hon. David
A. Wells, who replies to Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge, defending free trade; Rev.
@. A. Bartol, d. D., who appears in a
mastery paper on "Faith In God as q
Personal Equation" Prof. 7. Funck-
Bretano, Of the Academy Of Paris, who
writes ON "The Logic Of Port-Royal and
Modern Sciences" Edgar FSwcett, whose
essay on ''The Woes of the New York
Working Girl" will awaken a pro-
found interest in thousands Of thought
full minds; DR.. George Stewart, D. @. L.,
who appears In delightful, critical and
biographical sketch Of j. G.. Whittier;
and Helen Campbell, who discusses the
question of "Working Girls Clubs"
Mrs. Campbell also contributes power
full novelette, dealing with hypnotiSm
and insanity. Mr. Hsmlln Garland ap-
pears In a character sketch Of western
life which is most delightful. Francis
Minor, Of the st. Louis bar, contributes
powerful plea for equal suffrage, and
Robert Henry Williams sppearsin one of
the most thoughtful and in every sense
valuable contributions which has been
made to the literature Of the "Race Prob
lem In the South" The editor discusses
the Hon. Carroll D. Wright's recent re-
markable address on "Dlvorce" in nine
pages Of notes. Full-psge portraits of
j. G. Whittier and Edgar Fswcett are
features of this number. In order to
give place to the entire novelette, of Mrs.
Campbell without sacrificing any of the
space usually given to serious problems,
the publishers have added sixteen pages
to this number. The Arena grows bet
ter with each volume. It is bold, aggres-
sive and liberal; magazine which is in
dispensable to all thoughtful persons
who are interested in the vital problems
which are coming to be uppermost in
the public mind, and upon which de-
pends the triumph Of civilization.

A Novel Invention.

Thomas Mulrey, of Jersey City, is of
the opinion that he has laid the founda-
ton upon which he may build great
fortune. He has invented locomotive
engine for use upon ice fields, and has
just completed the first working model,
and will make an exhibition of it within
few days upon some lake in or near
New York. Mulrey's locomotive is
about st feet long. and, excepting that
it is hung upon runners and that its
driving wheels are made with teeth
which are meant to dig into the ice, one
sees nothing in it at first glance to make
him consider other than miniature
copy of the ordinary engine. But Mr.
Mulrey says that this little locomotive
is the result of large percentage of
all the work that he has done for Is
years
Its all springs and ball and socket
joints, said Mr.. Mulrey. Its built to
run over the uneven surfaces which are
scattered about on ice fields. 1t may
surprise you to know it, but except on
fancy sheet of water, like the lake in
Central Park, my machine is bound to

were rigidly built it would have many
collisions which would most likely dis
agree with it. Built as it is, it would
go over great blocks of ice without any
trouble, and the cars which will follow
will do the same, for they are hung in
such a way that they can't be spilled
over by any accident likely to befall
them"
Mr.. Mulrey says that there are a great
many places where his engine would be
very serviceabIe. For example, he
spoke Of the possibility that exists for its
profitable use upon the ice field between
Troy and Albany. He says that, as
soon as he can get the money to do it, he
will build some locomotives and cars
which he will set down at various places
in the country and operate in the win
ter time. He will not sell the locomo.
tives The speed of the full sized ice
locomotive will be, Mr.. NIulrey thinks,

Rider Haggard, willie undergoing the
tortures of an interview in New York,
is described as a tall, lank, middle aged
man, fidgeting about in an alleged easy
chair, tying his legs into bowknots, and
doing everything with his hands that
the hands of a naturally awkward man
ever did do when he was in state of
nervousness. He is over six feet high,
somewhat loosely put together, with a
slight stoop of the shoulders. He has
dark hair, but the delicate mustache
which adorns his lip is quite light in
color. A long, pointed nose gives his
face thinnish appearance, but care
full look at him shows that he has a full
forehead and that his eyes are well
apart. He has an agreeable manner
and a pleasant smile.

An Amusing Interview Held by Tele-
phone.

An Amusing Interview Held by Tele-
phone.
Many useful and wonderful things
are accomplished by the telephone.
One of its most important functions is
the enabling of patients to commune
cate promptly with their physicians.
Sometimes the instrument may be of
doubtful service to the doctor
One afternoon city doctor was
called from the dinner table, just as he
had finished his carving for the family
and begun to eat on his own account, to
answer the telephone.
Hello! Hello!" came sharp eager
call over the instrument
The doctor recognized the voice of a
very nervous man of his acquaintance
"Well, what is itp" he asked
"Oh, am not well at all, doctor, but
haven't got time to come and see you,
and 1 want you to cure me by tele-
phone, you know"
"Well-"
"But, the doctor began, Il can't"
swell, just hear this cough: alum!
ahum! ahum! Isn't that pretty bad?"
"And what do you think of my breath.
Now, I'll breathe into the telephone?
Fhwee! Do you get that?"
"But l can't judge your breath
through the telephone?"
"You can't, Ell? SO you can't-thats
a fact! Well, l haven't any time to
come and see you, nor to wait here un-
til you come down, SO guess I'll call
in at DR.. Handy's on my way down
town, and get him to prescribe for me.
Oh, l say! Don't put this in your bill,
now!"
AS the doctor goes back to his cold
roast he spcculates as to whether the
absurdly thoughtless and nervous man
or the telephone is the greater annoy

An Important Study.

Women who have had any experience
will understand the balancing and ad-
justment, the sitting out of the unneces-
sary, and the careful combination of
simplicity and beauty, which must be
done. if the prosaic process of living is
to be clothed upon with refinement.
Every woman needs to make study of
her own situation; what she may have
to begin with, what she can afford to
buy, what she can do by her own handi-
work to lift the atmosphere Of the home
above the work day thoughts. Nerve
wear is steady from day to day, appetite
becomes caprcious, the hunger of health
is lost, and the sauce of life is lacking.
A bowl of flowers, trembling with dew,
in the center of the table, fresh napkin
under the neat slices of bread, or en-
veloping the hot toast, the pretty blue
or gray vine work on the china. gives a
zest, takes off the roughness, renews
hope and an impress that life after all
is pleasant road.

What He Did with the Flock.

A religious society, worshipping not
many miles from New London, Conn,
decided to build new church, and the
pastor, among others, was chosen to
solicit funds He did his work zeal
ously, taking not only the widows but
the childrens' mites as well. This
energetic pastor has class of children
in the Sabbath school, and on one Sun
day, not long since, while instructing
them, he compared himself to the good
shepherd, and then inquired what the
latter did with his flock. One bright
eyed little fellow promptly replied: He
shears them" All within hearing
smiled at his answer except the pastor.

Too Saving.

Aunt Betsey Hicks. a New England
woman who had been left a widow after
a few years of married life, carried on"
her late husbands farm with good deal
of ability, but with such close economy
that her saving devices grew famous i'll
the country round about.
Next to her economy of provisions
her economy of fire ood was perhaps
her chief concern. At one time a sister
of her late hu,band, from down coun-
try" came to make her a visit, and soon
became convinced that Betsey was en-
deavoring to freeze her out But per-
haps this was not so, since the temper
ature was as Mrs. Hicks usually kept it.
II declare, the visitor ventured to
exclaim, Il should think you kept it
pretty cold here, Betsey!"
THAT ERE pesky thermometers to
blame, Susan, said Betsey. Il guess
it's got choked up can't get it above
so to save my lifev'
Then she turned over the stick of wood
in the sheet iron stove, while her guest
walked up and down the room with her
hands thrust up the sleeves of her dress.
The visitor remained at Aunt Betsey's
for several days, however, in spite of
the choked up thermometer, spending
much of her time in bed, or watching u
chance to smuggle a stick into the stove
when her hostess was out of the room.
Late one afternoon she happened to
go out into the woodshed, and found
Aunt Betsey there, with an old shawl
wrapped around her shoulders and a
stick in her hand, engaged in violently
stirring something in large tin can. A
strong smell of p' troleum filled the air.
"Betsey Hicks" said the visitor. "what
be you doin?''
"Wal, if you want to know" said
Aunt Betsey, 81 thought I'd see if
couldn't stir leete mite o water int
the karosene. reckoned it'd go leetle
fu'ther, 'th so much comp'ny in the
house as seem to nave!'
Her guest went away early the next
morning on the stage coach.
