KISSES SAVED UP.

A travelling man, who was also the
head of prosperous firm, promised his
newly welded wife that he would give
her dollar every time he kissed her,
and in that way she could save plenty
of money. Things went on in this way
for several years, and, as he made
plenty of money, he faithfully kept his
promise. Finally reverses came and the
prosperous travelling man found that he
was virtually pauper. He went home
to his wife and told her all. She, how
ever, did not seem to feel worried, and
he was somewhat surprised when she
asked him to take ride with her that
afternoon, but he accepted the invitation.
Passing large block on well known
street she said, "That mine" Soon she
came to handsome fiat and said, That's
mine" Well, she showed him several
places with the same remark until he
began to be suspicious, and inquired
"How in the deuce did you accumulate
so much Wealth. "Do you remember
the contract you made when we were
first married?" she said. "Yes," he re-
piled, 81 do" swell, 1 invested it and
it has made US rich" The travelling
man hung his head and said nothing
This was kept up for thirty minutes,
until his wife became alarmed, and she
asked: What in the world is the
matter, and what are you thinking
about?" He said: 81 was thinking of
how rich we would be if had done all
my kissing at home"

A NORIE ACT.

There was an old negro floating in
skiff on the headwaters of the Licking.
He was fishing-6sh mighty fine down
that way. He had a boy in the
boat with him who kept looking into
the water until he lost his balance and
DISAPPEARED in the water. Quicker than
| can tell you the old man had his coat
off and dove for the boy. He brought
him up all right then rowed for the
bank. When they got out, dripping, of
course, white man, who had seen the
whole business, complimented the old
man on his heroic act.
HE must be son of yours" said the
white man.

"Nephew, then?"
"No; no, sab; no nephew"
"Cousin?"
"No; no cousin"

You see, he had all de bait in his

An Awkward Blunder.

At certain court Of justice an awk-
ward blunder was made by the prisoner
in the dock. He was being tried for
murder and the evidence was almost
wholly circumstantial, a chief portion of
it being a hat of the ordinary ''billycock"
pattern that had been found close to
the scene of the crime, and which, more
over, was sworn to as the prisoners.
Counsel for the defense expatiated upon
the commonness of hats of the kind
"You, gentlemen" he said, mo doubt
each of you has just such hat as this
Beware, then, how you condemn a fel-
low creature on such piece of evil
dence," and SO forth. In the end the
man was acquitted, but just as he was
leaving the dock he turned in respect
full manner to the judge and said, IF
you please, my lord, may ave my 'ats'

DEMOCRATIC DIVISIONS.

Cleveland World.
The situation in the Democratic party
to-day, principally caused by the division
over the silver question, is most Sc
rious one. 1t would be very difficult to
prognosticate what the result will be,
but it can be set down as settled that
the wrong thing will certainly be done.
There are those who go so far as to be-
lieve that the split of 1860 will be re-
peated and there will be two national
Democratic tickets in the field. We
hardly expect this, but certain it is in
the minds of many Democrats in the
West and South the imitation heresy as
represented by the free silver delusion
is more deeply imbedded than the tariff
question, and that the leaders of that
humbug are disposed to force the fight
upon it, if necessary. even to dis
ruption and division in the party. The
old Democratic party has been the en-
bodiment of national Inconsistencies for
many years, and has never had con-
sistent coherent platform. The leaders
will doubtless try, as in the past, to
frame a platform this year that shall
sound loud, but really say nothing.
Meanwhile another Hancock could justly
say that the "free silver lunacy is a
local ISSUE"

A curious custom among the rulers of
the Old World is marriage by proxy.
For instance, Francis II, the ex-king of
Naples, was welded by proxy in 1859 to
Maria, duchess of Bavaria OF course
the marriage by proxy goes no further
than the ceremony. Exactly why ii
should be done at all is not clear by past
or present history, unless to save the
prince the trouble of going after his wife
and give her decent excuse for coming
to him.
In the case of Francis, he had never
seen Maria, and their first interview is
said to have been attended with consid-
erable disappointment. In fact, if the
young man had not been already mar
ried by proxy he would probably have
never married the lady at all.--Drake's
Magazine.

Many think it is sin to be sick: being

so, it certainly is duty to cure yourself.

subject to tiresome labor, have found a

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
COLLEGE MEN AT A DISCOUNT.

COLLEGE MEN AT A DISCOUNT.
He was college bred youth, and aft
er graduation came the question of how
he was to make living. He had the
right stuff in him, though at first he was
pretty well hidden by the high opinion
held of his own capacity.
A farmers son, with no influential
friends to assist him in obtaining stu
alton, he found himself alone in Boston.
He presented himself at business offices,
wrote letters in answer to advertise
ments, sought interviews with men
prominent in commercial and banking
circles, but was everywhere met with re-
fusal At last he began to grow de-
spondent and began to wonder what a
college education was good for anyhow.
He now sought the advice of an old
maid sister, his senior by many years,
whose experience in the world had made
her thoroughly practical. She question
ed him closely as to how he had made
application for a position, how he ap-
preached an employer, what he said of
himself, etc. When the young man had
answered, she said:
"It's just as l supposed John. You
didn't ask for the place as an employe at
all. Your method is more like demand
ing that the employer turn over his en-
tire business to you. You'll have to go
about the thing differently. Don't at
tach so much Importance to your col
lege requirements. Collegians, nova
days, are as thick as huckleberries down
East, and some of them are working for
mere song.
Don't say to man from whom you
expect situation: My dear sir. if there
is an existing vacancy in your establish
ment shall be glad to gill it, being as
sured that my qualifications will enable
me to assume any position you may
have to offer Just believe that there
are few things left which you don't
know, and make your application ac-
cordingly."
John was sensible, and saw the force
of his sisters remarks. His next request
for situation was couched in more
modest terms than the others, and his
college training was not mentioned un-
til the very last part of the interview,
when it was drawn out by the employ
er's own questions.
He got the situation after few days
without further trouble. That was sew
eral years, and to-day he holds much
better position in the same establish
ment.
Only the other day John repeated his
sisters advice to a recent graduate from
his almer mater. at the same time re-
lating his own experience.

THE BEHR1Ne SEA CRISIS.

Cleveland Leader.
The Behring Sea controversy has at
last reached a crisis. Lord Salisbury,
the British Premier, has refused to aecede
to this governments request for re-
pewal of the modts rirendi of last year.
pending arbitration, and President har-
rison has sent notice to Great Britain OF
his determination to prevent poaching
nv Canadian sealers in Behring Sea,
even if the military force of the United
States is required to do it. The Presl-
dent has taken frank and fearless
position, and one entirely consistent
with our rights in Alaska, its outlying
islands, and surrounding waters. The
right of exclusive jurisdiction claimed
by and conceded to Russia when that
government owned Alaska, and which
was ceded to the United States on the
sale of that territory, has never been re-
linquished by this government, anu We
do not admit now that Great Britain mas
any warrant to interfere with the pro-
lection of the seals. The Leader has
insisted throughout the discussion OF
the Behring Sea question that our gov
ernment should protect its interests IN
Alaskan waters, using the entire naval
force of the United States, if necessary
to do so. That is now the only course
left open to us, anu all patriotic Amer
leans will sustain the President In the
position he has taken.

A Man with the Supremest Humanity.
Once was warned by well known
statesman against putting ecclesiastics
on my society's committee. l said, But
we have already one on it, Cardinal
Manning" His reply was, "Oh, Man
ming; he is not an ecclesiastic; he be-
longs to us all!' That the supremest
humanity is king among men, this is
the lesson of the great life which the
nation mourns and which it will see no
more contemporary Review.

being struck with it, while in the first
