A Few Personal Remarks.

A man in love can do more thinking
without thinking ofanything at all than
any one else on earth.
Every man defines cowardice in his
own case as discretion.
A woman might as we'll propose; her
husband never admits after marriage
that he was the one who did it.-Atch-
isOn Globe.
Mr.. Cleveland's new campaign phOt-
graph shows him wearing polka dot
necktie.
The burning question, "Will the Com
ing Women Wear Suspenders?" has
caused excited debates in numerous
summer ChAutauqua societies.
Small boys along the lake shore are
usually attired in large, roomy wave
when the policeman on the beach is not
looking.
Last years pests are out of style this
year. Political stump speakers should
try to remember this.

No man can tell what morning he is
to wake up and find himself famous.
One week ago Representative Cobb of
Alabama was hardly known outside of
his own district and the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington. Now
however, thanks to the little pamphlet
printed by Representative Watson OF
Alabama, Judge Cobb has become re-
nowned as the author of remarkable
query, "Where was at?"
This question was asked by the Ala
bama statesman in the course of
speech delivered in the House of Rep
resentatives. 1t would have been bur
led forever in the pages of the Congress
siOnaL Record had not Mr.. Watson
made the charge in his pamphlet that
Judge Cobb was drunk when he made
his celebrated speech.
The ungrammatical judge has nearly
refuted the charge made by Mr.. Wat
son, but the newspaper readers of the
country have had considerable amuse-
ment over the discussion OF his conun-
drum of "Where was l at?
The people in the counties of Cam
erOn, Hidalgo, and Starr, Tex, have
been compelled to appeal to the coun-
try for help on account of the scarcity
of food that prevails in that neighbor-
hood. For four years a drouth has
prevailed there, and as a consequence
little has been produced. Most of the
stock that has not been sold has been
starved to death by the killing of the
grass, and the people are now living
mainly on mesquite beans and cactus,
the only products of the soil that have
survived the drouth.

When these come before the returning

filed. as the Republican committee has col
lected what evidence it requires. What
object Democrats could have had in tamper-
ing with these returns 10 not apparent until
one recalls the fact that all day Wednes-
day the State was in doubt, and it looked
as though q couple of hundred votes in

more on the proposition that the Republic
ans would not elect q man in Marion

though it was known before daylight on
