A Three Years. Contract.

In sheer dogged patience nothing can
surpass the Chinese race. A pious man,
whose exploits were recently noticed in
the Chinese papers, has become q candi-
date for the highest distinction Of holi-
ness by undertaking to sit on his moth
er's grave for three years. He has al
ready sat there for some months in a
rude hut provided by the charity of his
friends. He is an object Of devout curl
osity to all the visitors to the cemetery,
and it is confidently expected that when
he has sat out his term the matter will
be reported to the throne, and he will
receive suitable provision for life

Moman and the copflaenee eame.

A promised rattle for gold watch
was to have taken place at R. II. Pettit's
store Saturday evening, but it never
took place. A number Of the ticket
holders were on hand, but the person
who was to give the rattle, a young
woman, failed to show up. After wait
ing some time it began to dawn upon
the people who came that they had been
well duped.
A number of days ago good looking
young woman, q stranger, who said her
name was Miss Clifford, called on Mr..
Petit at his store. She showed him a
ieweled gold watch and obtained his
consent to have the timepiece ratified at
his stcee. SSSscther with another wom-
an, supposed to - her mother, Miss
Clifford went all over the town and sold
a large number of tickets at fifty cents
each. The last heard Of the two women
was that they had been seen with valises
in hand travelling in the direction of the
depot Saturday morning. These women
are evidently confidence people. .-Sacra

Humor. Of the Cholera Scare.

Every serious crisis has its amusing
uide. The cholera phase through which
we have been passing has developed
some ludicrous situations. A woman
got in Brooklyn street car one day last
week and sat down next to a well dressed
man. He smelled 80 of carbolic acid
that she hurriedly exchanged her place
for one opposite between a man and
a woman. One of them, it could not
be determined which, was redolent OF
chloride of lime, the fumes OF which are
peculiarly sickening to the woman In
question. Out of the frying pan into
fire, she thought, and before she made
third move she decided to select hei
neighbor with care.
A small boy sat in corner. He wa'
safe, she concluded, and, Drawing tht
surprise of the passengers, who coulc
not understand her restlessness, she onc'
more changed her place. A wave o
camphor assailed her nostrils as sh'
seated herself beside the child, but thi
was endurable, and she kept still. Prett!
soon woman opposite leaned over t.
the boy.
"Clarence," she said, shave you go
your bag ong'
"Yes'm," he replied. and fumbling a
his jacket produced small flannel ba
tied by cord about his neck. 1t wa
filed with the camphor that was scentin
the neighborhood, and the mother, sati'
fed, told him to replace it. She ev

sured and did not realize that the stron
drug thus absorbed by the pores Of th
skin weakens the system to a degre
that renders 1t the more liable to infe'

The cravat is again coming strongly
into favor. Since the fancy shirtings
for business wear have taken such a
hold the crayat, which does not screen
the shirt pattern, is availed of by o host
of well dressed men. It may be most
aptly worn with the cutaway or sack

MANY Of Shakespeare's contemporary
poets must have had every advantage that
he had In practical experience Of the stage
and all OF them had probably as familiar
an intercourse with the theater as he. But
what difference between their manner OF
constructing q play and hisl In all his
dramatic works his skill IN this Is more or
less apparent. In the best OF them 1t Is
unrivaled. From the first scene OF them
he seems to have beheld as from a tower
the end Of all. In "Romeo and Juliet" " for
example, he had his story before him, and
he follows It closely enough; but how
naturally one scene Is linked to the next
and one event leads to another.

thing Il would seem to be that our lives
were ruled by chance. Yet there is moth

EDITORS HERALD: "F. b." the de-
fender Of the preaent city library, by
his silence admits my charges of ex-
travagance on che part of the admins
tration of that department. He does
not attempt to deny that there has been
shameful waste of public funds in ex-
penditures for the librarian and the
library. l agree with him that all the
employees are ladies that they are
polished, refined, urbane, polite and
accommodating to superlative degree,
and that the citizen in rags or the citi-
zen in broadcloth receives equal atten-
tion at their fair hands. That is not
the question at issue. As a people we
need change.
Salaries are too high. In these times
ary persons with ability who will faith
and be glad OF the chance. 1t is not
just, in view of the present general de-
preston, to pay out the money of poor
taxpayers for high salaries.
For the city to maintain good refer

taxpsyers' moneys for the circulation OF
the latest novels is luxury wrongful
in the present state of financial affairs,
when every citizen carefully each day
scans his cash account. 1t is fact that
big majority of the books circulated
are novels, and most of them Of the
trashiest kind.
AS to extravaganza, how about the
costly works of art and music? They
are of no practical value except to less
than a score of wealthy people. who
should buy these things themselves and
not saddle their cost on the taxpayers.
Why, even some of these costly works
we're stolen from the library, and found
with a second-ha book dealer.
Let every Populist and every inde-
pendent Republican who desires to have
change. and change can only be for
the better, vote for the Democratic can

at stake on such proposition.

Who Discovered Us?

Some contend that Lief Erickson, the
SOC of Erick, discovered this country.
Others claim that Amerigo Vespucci was
the guilty man. The majority lean to-
ward the Christopher Columbus theory
and we are on the eve of celebrating his
discovery of country named after some
one else. At all events, whoever did it,
it took him long time to discover good
thing. Other discoverers have done
much better. For instance, it did not
take long for the public to discover that
the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad is the
best line to take between the Twin Cities
and the head of the lake. The Duluth
Short Line, as it is called, is famed
throughout the Northwest for its admir-
able service, it's rapid trains and the gen.
eral excellence Of his appointments. 1t
behooves the tourist, therefore, to take
this line when travelling between st. Paul,
