AUGUSTUS DIDN'T LIKE 1T.
A Proposed Society for the Prevention OF
Younger Brothers.

Proposed Society for the Prevention Of
Younger Brothers.
Suddenly appointed to the bookkeeper-
ship of q prominent soap firm, Augustus
De Wolf had availed himself of the oppor-
tunity offered to make display suited to
the occasion. Accordingly, in spick and
span new buggy, with dashing pair of
horses, he drove up to her door to take her
for drive in the park, and two little boys
were prepared for him, though he knew it
not.
Unsuspiciously Augustus let them hold
the horses while he went indoors to salute
his inanorata. He had the necessary dime
to spare, which he presumed was the OBJ
jective point of their unusual courtesy and
accommodativeness
When the young pair emerged from the
palatial residence one young brother stood
at the horses heads while the other, who
had made a hasty visit to the back of the
premises, now stood ready to swath the
young couple when they had mounted.
Such politeness was so uncalled for and
unexpected that he turned the presenta-
tion dime into quarter.
With superbly condescending smile he
waived the horse holder aside, and with
elbows squared and the grande tenue of a
prince he moved majestically forward on
his way.
But he was a little surprised.
AS for her, she became suddenly indig-
nant. The looks of envy and admiration
which they furtively sought in the faces
of the passersby were not forthcoming.
On the contrary, every one smiled broadly
and some broke into rude and boisterous
laughter.
1t was inexplcable.
He grew hot in the collar and unhappy.
They scanned each other coldly for the
telltale smut or smudge which might eX-
plain the situation.
But both were immaculate in personal
appearance.
And so they might have gone on for an
hour in blissful ignorance of the unknown
joke
But the air was too exhilarating.
A strangled yell of triumph behind them
caused her to look round.
Then she grabbed at the reins and the
horses came to an abrupt halt, while two
abandoned little buccaneer brothers rushed
forward and unlocked their little wagon
from the hind axle and covered with mud
and happiness beat Il hasty retreat.
Womanlike she visited all her available
wrath upon Augustus unlucky shoulders.
1t should have been glorious ride, but
it was not.
She made him pay the expenses of her
lost dignity all the way home.
Augustus thinks the young American
brother an irritating and unnecessary wart
on the face of nature.
And that is why he proposes to get up a
society for the prevention of younger broth
ers.-San Francisco Call.

Quite ApDroDriatc.

A book peddler, who was wearing a
small circular piece of plaster on his face,
removed it while shaving few mornings
since, and replaced it when his toilet was
complete.
Contrary to his usual experience, as he
went about his business during the rest of
the day he was everywhere received with
smiles which grew broader and broader,
until at last tsomebody laughed in his face.
Led by this to look in the glass, he was
somewhat taken aback to discover that
instead of the court plaster, he had affixed
to his face q little round printed label
which had fallen from the back of new
mantel clock purchased the day before,
and which bc:e the appropriate inscrip-
ton, "Warranted solid brass."-Yankee

"Beauty aoithout grace
is hook without bait" That's what
the French think. Whether it be true
or not, there are many American women
who do not even possess the hook-beau-
ty and attractiveness are denied them.
Why Because they're languid, cross
and irritable. They know not what
it is to be without pain OF discomfort
half the time.
That's it; suffer in misun-
derstood-when there's a remedy-Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription-at hand
that isn't an experiment, but which is
sold, by druggists, under the guarantee
that if you are disappointed in any
way with it, you get your money back
by applying to its makers.
A signal service to weak womenkind
is the finding of lost health-the build
ing up of a "run-down system. Moth
ing does it so surely as the "Favorite
Prescription" None like it
For overworked, debilitated women,
teachers, milliners, seamstresses, "shop-
girls" nursing mothers-one and all are
cured by it.

When We Co on and Die.

The road is rough and rocky,

Nor pause to read your manuscript
Till you 80 Off and die.

And tell you ii is good,
And when you sign it More Anon,"
They'll say, II wish you would"
They just about appreciate,
And yet know not why
They all forget you want 10 eat
Till you go off and die.
You'll find no shoulders here below
To help you bear your cross;
You'll have TO eat your mutton plain,
Without your capcr sauce;
And when you read do@n to dessert
You'll find u dearth of pie,
And you'll never know what pudding is
Til you 20 off and die.
But there's consolation
In the thought that whef. we're dead.

And friends will plant forgetmenots,
And come ana sit and sigh,
And irrigate our graves with tears

The avowal Of Senator Palmer's candidacy
for the democratic presidential nomination has
some significance. The Illinois leader was
pretty generally known as a friend of Mr..
Cleveland who himself INDUCED hopes. But it
was considered that he would not be in Mr..
Cleveland's way in any sense. Like Gov. Pat
tson. ex-Gov. Campbell and Gov. Russell, his
aspirations we're viewed as secondary and for
some time Vet to come subservient to those Of
the ex-President 1t seems. however, that the
early program of Senator Hill has precipitated
an early effort of the other sort of democrats.
The only danger recognized by those who care
less for men than principles or for men only as
embodying principles is this: That the strict
tariff reform candidates will be di-
vided while the others will be in
position to unite either on the New York or the
Maryland Senator or possibly ex-Gov. Gray.
This apprehension may be entirely groundless.
because there are some signs of lack of CO.
hesion between aspirants or supposed aspir-
ants who are not usually numbered by the low
tariff straightouts as among their leaders.
There is good deal Of fermentation going on
in democratic politics. The threat of third
party in such states as Virginia, the Carolinas,
Georgia and Alabama has probably increased
the indisposition of the politicians in those
states to accept Mr.. Cleveland as a standard
bearer the third time. The natural result of
this tendency is to cause those states and Others
to "look to the west"
