ably be out in four weeks, and a
woman on the car named over twenty
two of her acquaintance who had been
carried off in a week.
Heavens, Mr.. Bowser! but what
does this mean?" demanded Mrs Bow
ser, as he staggered into the hall.
"l'm-Tm a dead man!' he gasped
as she pulled off his overcoat and
helped him on the lounge in the back
parlor.
"Have you got chill?''
"Y-yes! Get forty bed quilts to
cover me up!''
'And does your back ache?"
"Does it? Great Scots, but / dou't
believe | can live half an hour onger!
It's congestive chill, suppose
Its simply the grip, Mr.. Bowser.
That's exactly the way every body is
taken. Hadn't you better exercise a
little will power?"
Mr. Bowser looked at her reproach-
fully and shivered and shook.
Curious how it took hold of man
of your strength of character" she con-
tinued as she got his shoes off.
Mr.. Bowser's chin began to CULVER in
suspicious manner and she said no
more on the subject. He had been put
to bed and was groaning and shiver-
ing when the doctor came in.
"Well, your ear has been pulled
down. see." remarked the doctor, as
he rubbed his hands together in a
cheerful way. ''Have you tried to
throw it off by strength of will?' d
IL suspect it's pneumonia" replied
Mr.. Bowser.
"Well, don't. It's grip-just grip"
"And I'm sick enough to diet"
"Pshaw, man! you have got mild
attack-about as the babies have it. If
you had it as bad as your wife did
should feel very anxious. just keep
quiet and take this medicine every two
hours"
"How many weeks will 1 be in the
house?"
Weeks? Why, you can go out to-
moi row if you feel like it. Better get
up after supper and walk around. It's
a wonder to me that such slight at
tack brought you home"
But Mr.. Bowser's back-ache grew
worse, and when the chill finally went
off he was out of his head most of the
time with the fever. During Mrs.
Bowser's sickest night he had gone to
bed to sleep and snore and rest undis-
turbed by her means. She had to sit

FALLING SNOW.
Apple-blooms and woodland vale

'Apple-bl and woodland vale
Babbling, brook and sleeping river,
Lilies in sequestered dale,
A With their yellow hearts a-quiver;
Mountain height and land of Dreams
Have been sung, and yet it seems,
an all the songs I've read or heard,
From whispering gale or mocking bird,
y None so pure are in their flow
AS the song Of falling snow.
Tangled wood and tbistle-down,
Summer sun or April showers,
buttercups with golden crown,
Noddfng bluebell, queen OF flowers;
or purest song of woodland thrush,
Nightingale or lark must hush,
For songs may come and songs may 90,
But none can match the falling snow.
Sweetest song of idle dream,
Waited from untraveled regions,
Though the sleepy air may TEEN
With the breath Of fairy legions;
Inough the earth be glad with flowers,
Laughing with the summer showers
Yet white tassels on the pine,
Bring again this song of mine,
For June may come and June may go,
But naught can match the falling snow.

That Old Superstition.

Superstitious people, especially gam.
blers, will observe the fact that the
year 1892 begins on a Friday. Com
menting on this Calino, famous,for his
blunders exclaimed:
well, there is one thing about it
that consoles me, and that is that the
new year won't begin on the 18th"
Another consideration, which might
relieve the anxiety of the gam bling
fraternity, is the fact that every time
one of them loses at cards on Friday
some other gambler, equally supersti.
tious, must have won on the same Fri
day Otherwise, where did the money

The popularity accepted definition Of

The partial injustice of this is attested
by the number of those historical char
acters who, while noted for great at
tention to their attire, have shown
marked powers in other lines of effort.

Louis XIV. was one of the most thor

when forced to wear the mourning

his garments SO effectually with jewels

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Dr. Macule'

dispatch from Topeka purporting 10 be
an editorial from the Alliance Advocate
charging him with aiding the Democrats
by circulating their campaign documeatS
and afterwards trying to fasten 1t on GOV
ernor Tillman, OF South Carolina, and
with pursuing Colonel Polk. the National
president. 50 as to cause his death, said:
This story was gotten up here tNasn-
ingtom by schemers. and is fraud from
beginning to end. Nobody ever charg ID
or said that | sent out Democratic Iiter-
ature or tried to fGsten 1t on Governor

Polk is also false"
BENJAMIN Terrell the National lecturer
OF the Alliance. who was with DR.. Macune
--i.en the article was shown him, laughed
at it and said that it was wholly without
foundation. When asked what effect. II
any. il would have on the contest In
Kansas for the senatorship, Mr.. Terrell
said less than dropping a pin into the
ocean," with which statement DR.. Maeune
agreed.

1t Causes Some Excitement Among the
PslItlcians--Cabinet Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.--The publica-
tion this morning of an alleged interview
with Mr.. CleveIand, in which he makes
public his opposition TO Mr.. Murphys
election TO the United States Senate, mas
laused considerable talk among polfsi-
clans In Washington. The interview, as
an authorized expression OF Mr. Cleve-
lands views. though II Is very well-known
that he does not favor Mr.. AIurphy's
election, has caused surprise. 1t was not

opposition and would like 20 see Murphy
defeated has been very generally under

not Thought that he would take part per-
sonally In the contest.
Politicians here do not believe that dr.
Murphy can be defeated, and they be-
lieve that Mr.. Cleveland appreciates the
fact. Hill and his friends declare with
absolute confidence that Murphy will be
elected, and there is a very strong inti-
nation that IL Mr.. Cleveland fights him

election of a personal friend from New
York II would not improve the situation
greatly as no new man. however, capa-

body.
Mr.. Cleveland will, however. have a
strong personal friend In the Senate by
the time the Fifty-thrd Congress viii be
organized unless all present plans mis-
carry. This will be Mr.. Bayard, Of Dela-
ware, In all probability. 1t is expected
that Senator Gray will go into the Cabi-
net, though he is at present disincllned
to do so. bis retirement from the Sem
ate will mean the election of MIR Bayard.
1t is reported to-day that the question
of Mr.. Dickinson going into the Cabinet
has been settled and that he will be Secre-
tory of State. The slate thus far made
up Is said to be Dickinson, Secretary or
State; Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury;
Gray, Of Delaware. Attorney General;
Lamont. Secretary of the Navy, and
Morrison, Secretary of the Interior.

the effect OF driving the dredging vessels
well out into the bay. Many of them have

along the dredging bars nearest the shores
