An Italian paper, II Carlino, recalls a
practical joke that appeals 20 our sym
pathy us well MS to our sense Of humor.
A painter had been commissioned TO
paint the image OF saint on the refec-
tory wall of n convent. The price stip-
ulated was very low, but il was agreed
that the painter should have his meals
at the expense of the convent until the
work was finished. But the only food
supplied to the poor artist was bread,
onions and water. The day for unveil-
ing the frcsco at length arrived. The
friars stood round the artist, the curtain
was removed. 1t was no doubt "A very
fine picture. but the saint had his back
turned toward the spectators. What
does this mean?'' shouted the indignant
prior. Padre, was compelled opaint
the picture us you see it, for the saint
could not bear the smell Of onions"

Do YOU SEE THE POINT.

The West Point Lrader present s
the question of diversified farming
in very re-, dable way, in the fol
lowing extract from its columns;
s'It is claimed th It the currency
is so contracted that twelve cents
has to do the duty of 100 cents.
Such assertions are the veriest
bosh and are not susceptible of
proof. There are seventy men in
the United States who are worth
over two Thousand seven hundred
millions of dollars and this is bur
q small portion of the wealth of
the country. ANY man can get
money in this country who has th'.
commodity that is in demand.
Everything the farmer makes or
ought to make, il higher than be-
fore the war, 'the good old ante
bellum days and everything he
has to buy is cheaper. Here is a
nut to crack. Money is only scarce
and very hard to get in such sec
lions as do not grow enough per
acre to pay for cultivation of the
acre. Now if money we're as plen'
tiful as the leaves of the forest and
could not be gotten except fol
value received, such sections woult
still be without a surplus OF it, ant
wuuld still he hard run to MAKE
both ends meet. If you can't So
the polnt, you simply look through
smoked glasses and are not will
ing to wipe them off.

TWO MEN.

T 4vo n en- tciled side by side from sun to sun,
And both were poor
Both sat with children, when the day was done,
About thrir door.
One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining nOon.
The other, with his head in sadness bowed,
Made night of nooi.
One loved each tree and flower and singing bird
o. mount or plain.
No music IN the soul of one was stirred
BY leaf or rain.
One the good In every fellow man,
And hoped the best.
The other marveled al his Masters plan,
And doubt confessed.
One, having heaven above and heaven below,
Was satisfied;
The other, dIsconiented, lived IN woe
And hoptless died.

ance, if they are wcn founded, place the
seats of several other senators in jeopardy
and the comrleTion Of the rext senate may
UNDERGO Il considerable change rs a result
of tuesdays election. The Republicans
look to retaining the senate, whatever / he
presidential resalt may be, rs a buiwarll
against tariff legislation The Democrats
are planning to increase their representa-
tion in the upper house; and the Farmers
Alliance is schening to secure the balance
of power. The Democrats claim that they
will elect legislatures which will return
Democrats in place Of all Democratic sena-
tors whose terms expire and also in places
of the Repu nlican incumbents in New
York, Connecticut, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, and the 7armer'sAlliance expects TO
capture senatorships in Nevada, Nebraska
and Washington.
Would BE Nice for the Populists.
This would mean a loss to the Republi-
cans of seven United States senators, and
would make the upper house stand Demo
Gratis AZ; Republicans 40; Farmers ALI
ance 5. This would practically give the
Farmers Alliance the balance of power in
the senate, as they could by voting with
the Democrats give them n workin z
majority, or by voting with the Repui-
Gcans give them a majority of two The
Republican leaders, however. do not con-
cede the loss of any OF the seven senator
ships. They are particularly confident of
the result in Connecticut Nebraska, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin and they are reaching
out after Delaware and West Virginia.

while returning to his home Saturday
night was attacked and stabbed by two
men, who made good their escape. The
injuries inflicted on Hart were so serious
that he died last night without being able
to give the slightest clue to his assailants.
The murderers have so far eluded arrest
and as the police have no clue to work
upon it is likely they will escape the PEN

of the absence in Europe of Major General
