auce leaders, like Livingston, OF

vote the democratic ticket, with the

Wards Words.

| Inc world Is nlled with people who are
much in the position of the darky at camp
meeting when he said. ''Brud'r'n, sisters, |
feel dis m0rnin' dat 1 could Jess talk mo-
good IN five minutes dan | could do in hull
yeah" They talkee, talkee and smilee,
smilee, but when you come to busines they
| a'lnt there. As the cat said to the canary
You can sing. but you can't catch mice"
This Is eminently the case in the profession
| of medicine, where barney goes for brains
IN the estimation of the dupeabe public,
until some fOrtuitOus circumstance occurs to
call for the latter. Humbug is the insect
that crawls into the susceptibilites of every
one.
Several years ago the idea occurred to
some eX-member or attachee of the legsla-
ture that it would he good scheme to have
biennial gathering of the old members and
state officers, but for what purpose, never
has transpired. Some intimate that Hon.
Dan L.. CrOssman, of WilliamstOn-ex-
member and many times house clerk-frst
formulated the plan for his own agrandiz-
ment and had himself made secretary and
treasurer. This probably is a dense Islander
on Dan but the society was formed and he
has filled the aforesaid offices ever since and
calls for the biennial dollar for dues with
surprising regularity. Much to my subse-
| quent NORTH alton l allowed myself to be
wheedled into attending the first meeting
1t wac great sure enough, but not hlariOusy
gladstone or rOlickingly joyous to me-
Among the many faces there 1 sought in
vain for one OF my old gang of legislative
chums. Where was my cOleague?-dead!
Where was my seat-mate?-dead! Where
wis my committee attDrney?-dead! Where
was my most esteemed political enemy
dead! where was my m-mate?--dead!
Where was the sergeant at arms of the
house?-dead. Yes during the short eight
cen years which had slipped past since last
trOd the halls of Legislation, death had cut
wide swath among my friends and as
wandered around through the company
occasionally saw the familiar face of some
old mud-lark. but when placed my warm.
child-like and loving fingers into his cold
sOggy palm and spoke words of endearment
and affection, he invariably looked up with
blank stOlidity into my face and calculated
"Umph! / thought you was dead!" and got
to thinking somehow that they wished were
dead. so l stole away to weep, and kept
stealing away until ] got home l didn't
stay to see it out and / never have attended

lachrymose for my weak and decayink
nature to endure. Under such try ing cir
cumstances / am much like the injured
lrishman who when asked il he was dead
replied mo Dim not dead, but Dim spach"
less" Still If 1t wasn't such humbug |
wouldn't mind going up there once in two
years and shed brine and bitterness on the
occasion but | hate to weep alone.
