She Didn't Care for Looks.

An optimistic age would pronounce
her hair golden, but there was mole
on her neck which carried the hairs,
and as she stood in careless grace before
her mirror, with a sea green half reveal
ing the idiosyncrasies of her figure, the
most charitable judgment would not
call her pretty.
81 don't care for looks"
An expression of deep content per-
meated her countenance as she reached
for the pigment and with deft stroke
supplied a rich red color for her lips
and cheeks.
Looks are superficial.
With touch of the pencil she dark
ened the lids of her eyes, and all over
spread snowy powder, which lent to
her face the delicacy of texture of satin
fabric.
Beauty is ephemeral.
With astonishing dexterity she fas-
tened to various portions of her ana
tony divers mechanical devices obvi-
ously constructed to supplement the
achievements of forgetful nature.
"Outward charms fade as melts the
morning mists before the SUM-"
Through the agency of fine pair of
tweezers she removed her moustache.
" don't care for looks"
Heating an iron to cherry red she
burned the top off the wart on the back
of her hand.
"I have no time to be handsome"
Before she finished dressing she drank
a lot of arsenic for her complexion, and
caused her maid to pound her for two
hours to induce plumpness.-De

In q Tight Place.

Owen Clancy, of Summit, missed a
very valuable COW last week and spent
several days looking for her without
finding any trace of her whereabouts,
and had about concluded that she had
been stolen, when one of his children
discovered the animal not over fifty
yards from the house. She had wan
dered into hollow cedar log, presum-
ably to get into the shade, and in push
ing her way for fifty feet into the log
she passed through place where it had
splintered in falling, with the splinters
headed in the direction she was going.
Of course, when she attempted to back
out her exit was effectually blocked,
the splinters having sprung back. And
there she was, as securely confined as
any prisoner in the penitentary. When
discovered there she had been impris-
oned for five days.
Mr.. Clancy had to cut the log in
front of her before she could be taken
out, nothing the worse for her expert
ence except for her enforced fast. The
cow weighs about fifteen hundred
pounds, SO the size of cedar timber in
that meek of the woods, can be i'm
agined. .-Elma Chronicle.

The Rascals Safely PillOried.

No doubt the Democratic tricksters
whose cowardly plot to steal the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania has been
detected and frustrated will attempt to
pose before the respectable men of their
own party as the victims of Republican
Misrepresentation. But THERE'S no way
for them to get rid of the odium they
have deliberately incurred. Their tool
and accomplice, the Democratic State
printer of Pennsylvania, has himself
furnished the conclusive proof of their
guilt.
State Printer Grier's incriminating
letter to Democratic State Chairman
Wright of Pennsylvania should be sent
broadcast over the land by the Repub-
lican National Committee. Grier's
statement that, owing to the unusual
size of the ballot officially selected by
William F. Harrity, "some localities in
the State will not be able to vote in
November for wants of tickets,' and
his declaration that as ''the time re-
quired for printing is limited by law,
and but very few printing offices in the
State have perforating machine"
Wright, las chairman, should notify
the commissioners of Democratic conu-
ties to be on the alert and get contracts
made wherever they can,'' and that
"the strong Democratic counties ought
first to receive attention" demonstrate
beyond all question the existence of one
of the vilest conspiracies that ever dis
graced even Democratic politics-a plot
that had for its object the deliberate
theft for the Democracy of the electoral
vote of the great Republican State of
Pennsylvania.
The Democratic bosses can not blot
out this confession. Wriggle and vo-
ciferate as they will, they are fast in
the pillory of public disgrace. Their
plot to keep the Republican of Pennsyl-
vania from securing ballots to cast
against Cleveland and Stevenson should
result in overwhelming the Democratic
candidates beneath an avalanche of
opposing votes.

Cruelty to Calamityites.

Governor Flower evidently has some
regard for his reputation for sanity.
He refuses to Join in the calamity cry
when he sees on every side evidence of
prosperity which has never before
been equaled in this State. He had a
good opportunity to note that prosperi-
ty in detail on his tour of inspection
along the Erie Canal. Of course it does
not take transcendent intellect to see
that the low prices of grain in Western
New York during recent years have
been due to the competition of the
cheap and fertile lands of the West,
and it is very simple, every day fact
that land valued at $3.50 an acre can
not proftably grow wheat in competi.
ton with better land at So an acre.
And yet Governor Flower should have
known from the sentence pronounced
on Commissioner Peck that it is treason
to the Democratic cause to admit even
such plain truths.
But perhaps the Governors boldness
in thus violating the calamity creed of
his party was due to his consciousness
of impunity from arrest and imprison-
ment with which his office clothes him.
At any rate he gave the calamityites q
severe blow when he said:
Take my country, Jefferson. The
farmers have been benefited by this
measure, and they know it 1t
will be useless to bring any argument
in our district that the Mckinley bill
does not benefit the farmers, for 1t
does, and the facts bear it out. There
is no use of Democrat trying to get
an Office in that district On that issue,
for it is a dead one.
| How they must have raved at calam-
ity headquarters when they head that.
Not because any one of them doubts
the truth of it, but because the truth
about the effects of the Mckinley law
is the most effective arraignment that
could be framed of the Cleveland
party aud platform.

The Old FOrty.Niners.

'The old 'Forty-niners' of California
are about all gone" said Henry T.
Chapman, one of the first men to reach
the gold fields, now guest of the La
clede. "At that time the trip to Cali
fornia was more serious undertaking
than a journey around the world now
is. From Boston or New York to San
Francisco via Cape Horn in a sailing

Cigars were not thought of, and if a

About six months after my arrival a
party of Missourians reached the State,
coming overland. In the party was
one unmarried woman. In less than a
week she had received nineteen pro-
posals of marriage. She accepted a
young fellow who was running gen.
eral store in an old side show tent, but
there was neither minister nor Justice
of the Peace to be found to perform
the ceremony. There was a Catholic
priest at an Indian mission about sixty
miles distant, but the father of the
bride-elect was a Hardshell Baptist
and declared that he would have moth
ing to do with papists. He volunteered
to perform the ceremony himself.

We Must Have Congress.

Short, sharp and decisive was Chair
man Carter's warning to Republicans
printed in the New York Press: 81
think tho people understand that both
branches of Congress would necessarily Y
be Democratic in the event of Presi-
dent Harrison's defeat. We can not
lose the Presidency and save either the
Senate or the House" These words
will undoubtedly startle many Repub-
licans, but they are true. The House
is now so strongly Democratic that it
will take a sweeping Republican VIC
tory to wrest it from the Bourbons.
The Senate is very close; and there is
good ground for believing that the
election of Grover Cleveland would,
in the words of Secretary Charles Fos-
ter, carry with it the surrender of the
entire Legislative branch of the Federal
Government to the Democratic party. ~
Do the American people understand
fully what this meansp 1t means the
complete reversal of the tariff and
financial policy under which this coun-
try has prospered beyond all precedent
1t means that the alliance between
Tammany and the South will rule this
nation; that the Confederate free trade
and the wildcat currency demanded in
the Democratic platform will be sad
died upon the country perhaps for
many years to come; that every wage
Garner in the United States must sell
his labor in direct competition with the
half starved workers of Europe; and
that he must be content to receive even
this paltry pay in currency that may
become worthless at any moment.
This in all sober earnestness is what
Democratic triumph means in the year
1892. 1t is a calamity to be fought
against by every toiler in the land.
The next President must and shall be
Republican. No Free Trade! No
Pauper Labor!

Victory Is Ours,

Apathy has been the one word above
all others which Republicans have
feared from the opening of the cam
paign to the present time. The party
leaders have not doubted that success
was assured, provided every voter in
the State recorded his convictions at
the polls. With the issues so clearly
drawn, free trade and wildcat currency
on one side, safe money and protection
to American labor on the other-there
was no room for fear that the people
would make a mistake in their final
decision. But because of the obsta-
cles thrown in the way of the great
army of Republican farmer voters by
the new registration law, the supreme
danger was that the requisite degree
of interest and enthusiasm might not
be aroused to overcome the added in
conveniences of getting the full party
vote cast and counted.
The events of Monday have almost
entirely allayed the concern hitherto
prevailing on this score. The large
representation of county chairmen
from all over, the State which met
Chairman Hackett and the other prin-
cipal leaders of the State and national
committees; and their practical, bust.
ness like discussion of ways and MEANS
coupled with the manifest determina-
ton on the pa ft of all not to leave a
stone unturned to have every Republi-
can vote in the State counted on elec.
ton day, are in themselves almost a
guarantee of success. There is feel
ing of confidence and jubilation
springing up on the part of Republi-
cans everywhere which recalls the
spirit of former victories. gloriously
won. 1t is the spirit we have hoped
and prayed for. 1t means redoubled
and concerted effort from now till the
polls close. 1t means that every Re-
publican, wherever hidden, in town or
country, will be sought out on regis
tration days as well as on election day,
and that there will be no stay at homes
this year. That means hard, vigilant,
unremitting work for the next four
weeks, but it means also certain VIC
tory. And in that word victory are
embraced high wages for American
labor; the stability of American cur
rency; continued prosperity, happiness
and plenty for all our people. The
prize is well worth the effort required
to win it-New York Press.

An Electrical Finger.

An electrical finger for surgical uses
has recently been invented. A bulb,
attached to long probe, is attached to
a finger stall. The bulb is double and
the outer skin is flexible. The two
layers are connected with opposite
poles of the battery, and wires connect
the inner layer with the finger tip.
Pressure at any point closes the circuit
and the electrical current is transmitted
to corresponding point on the finger.
The surgeon has thus means of feel.
ing and measuring things which he
can neither see nor reach by ordinary
means.-Philadelphia Ledger.

TRAITS, u, Oct. o., 1899.
have just finished reading the last
issue of the Herald and Tribune, and as
business men say, II hasten to reply"
can t understand what has got wrong
down there. In one issue noticed q
report of the grand jury respecting the
sanitary condition of the County In
firmary, and in their report they fear
lessly exposed the management, and
the good old county, as well, in not
providing means for the keeping of the
poor in way that reflects credit upon
the county and its honorable court.
Now comes a crossfre, an array of
witnesses, who declare the report of
the jury both unjust and untrue.
know good portion of that jury, and
nearly all of those who protest, and
since many on both sides are our best
citizens, and acting under oath, makes
the case look funny to disinterested
party. l further see that the court has
inclined to the latter statement and ig-
nored the report of the honored jury.
What are you going to do about il?
and in what repute will they be held ?
l do not pretend to know anything
about the Poor House or its inmates for
the last few years, but have been
there a number of times and know
that the arrangement was far from sat-
isfactory to me, and yet it was as good
as the means provided would justify.
l have learned a good many things
since coming North. and if you can
bear with me I will venture to give
some of my observations 1. The
county farm is entirely too far from the
county seat. 1t should not be more
than couple of miles, for various rea-
sons. 2. There should be less acres and
of better quality, 8. The buildings are
absolutely shame to the citizens Of
the county, and if one fourth of her
citizens had ever seen them would say,
Amen. At least $4,000 should be ex-
pended in putting up proper buildings.
A. An orphans home is just as badly
needed as an infirmary, and presents a
more hopeful outlook for the poor un-
fortunates. Our county has about S75-
600 invested in farm and buildings for
the poor and nearly the same amount
in an orphans home. They are one
mile from town and al ornament to
the town instead of nuisance.
l dare say if some of your taxpayers
could take trip up through Ohio and
see some of her improvements they
would stop crying against high taxes
and keep rolling at old Washington
until she is in the front rank.

The Wonderful Growth of the Worlds
Fair Buildings.

On the shore of a wide, blue gray
lake, under northern sky, veiled over
half its horizon with dim, smoky mist
there spread, two years ago, a waste
and desolate sand plain with streak
o. marshy pools in the heart of it. Here
and there were trunks of scrubby trees
and patches of starveling underbrush
but it had none of the pleasant loneli
ness of the countryside: the bleak desc
lation of great city's waste outskirts
brooded over the whole tract. On the
west the space was bounded by the fiat
broad roadbed of a suburban railroad
eastward strong wall of ponderous
masonry stood between it and the
sullen swash of the inland sea. To the
south it went out of sight in loneliness
on the north it narrowed to a point
where great town had begun fight
with nature for few acres of pleasure
ground, stubbornly pushing a green
covering of young trees and grass across
the unwilling sand. Beyond this patch
of verdure trailed out the city's myriad
streets, sparsely settled here, for the
town proper lay eight miles away in
the heart of the smoky haze that floated
along the sky line.
In the month of June, 1891, a man
stuck the nose of plough into the sand
of this plain, by way of beginning an
undertaking which lay before him, and
before some scores of thousands of work
ingmen all over the country-day la
borers, like himself; iron forges, archi.
tects, truckmen, carpenters, painters,
surveyors, GLACIERS, designers, ,moulders,
joiners, masons, gardeners-men of
every trade and art and handicraft, of
every nationality, of every class and
kind of humanity, working together in
widely seperate places for the accom-
plishment of one common purpose.
Today, in the prosecution of the under
taking, the surface of that waste plain
has become the scene of one of the most
marvellous manifestations of mechan-
ical achievement which the world has
to offer; it is the site of such group of
buildings as has never before been as
sembled for such time, and in such
conditions. 1t sounds like an extrava-
gance to say that within this space of
half thousand acres is concentrated
the energy, the skill, the intelligence,
the activity, equipped with every ma
terial requisite, that would suffice to
build up large city in the space of
three years; but to this plain statement
of fact must be added this other: that
the city is built. He who goes to that
lake side desert year from now will
see, rising from gracious and well
ordered garden, white city of glass
and iron, a system of structures gigan-
tic in plan and scope beyond anything
that science has hitherto held feasible
or desirable for the sheltering of a mul.
