Persons suffering from rheumatism
are naturally anxious to try every pro.
posed remedy. John Raymond, of north
ern Iowa, had tried without relief nearly
every alleged cure suggested by friends.
Then he read this in medical Journals:
"There is more benefit in good laugh
than In the hot water remedies, the faith
cures, the electric, and all other new
treatments in the world, and it costs
nothing. If you knew of nothing else to
laugh at, laugh at your neighbor."
This was new idea to poor Mr.. Ray
mond But what should he laugh at?
In the house was nothing amusing.
However, the medical journal said,
Laugh Mt your neighbor."
He went out on the front porch, and
sitting in chair, watched the people on
the streets. For time he saw nothing
funny. Then big German walked by,
muttering aloud to himself.
"Ha, ha, hal' went Mr.. Raymond.
The big German stopped and looked.
"Vot's dot?"
"Ha, ha, bar
"Vot vor you haw, haw, haw, NIT me?'
"Ha, ha, har'
Over the fence leaped the big German,
his fists uplifted.
"Oh" cried Raymond, "I-I meant
no harm. was laughing for my
health"
"Und den you leetie sick Yankees
laugh nit big Dutchmen! Dot ish all
right. Dot ish Won goUt sholie on me-
va, ya, yar'
But Mr.. Raymond, who really had not
meant to be rude in the least, gave up
the laugh cure, believing that the
"shoke" was on himself rather than on
the good German.-Youth's Companion.

An Inter esting Wager.

One Of the queerest election bets was
made between a young gentleman and
his best girl. He bet on Harrison, and
she took the field; consequently he will
have to pay the forfeit. The bet was in
this fashion: The loser was to take the
other to Widemanns any night the win
ner would choose, buy the oysters for
one, and then stand on a chair in the
other end Of the hall and watch the eat
ing. The girl Of course has decided to
choose the night when the hall will be
crowded, and thus put the fellow in as
ridiculous a position as possible.

Committee of the Lumbermen's Associs-
ton Against Putting 1t on the Free List.
The ways and means committee today heard
a committee of the Lumbermen's Association,
which has been in session for some DAYS in this
city, in opposition to the bill introduced by
Representative Bryan OF Nebraska placing lum-
Der on the free list.
c. W. Goodyear of Buffalo stated that the
committee of which he was member had been
instructed to present to the committee some
reasons why the present small duty on lumber
should not be removed
The lumber manufacturing industry repre-
sented, he said, an invested capital of $780,
OOO, 600 The present price o. lumber was ex-
trehiely low and in the present condition of
trade the removal of the duty would be dis
astrous.
Lumber, he asserted was not raw material,
as some of the advocates of the removal OF the
tariff on all raw material claimed. Mr.. Goou-
year presented a petition Of the lunibermens
convention praying that the duty now imposed
be retained.

the committees action in regard to free text
books, denied that retrenchment is being prac-
ticed at the cost Of the free text book system.
The committee had given all that was asked
for this purpose. The last Congress had gone
no further.
WHAT THE REDUCTIONS MEAN.
Mr.. Dingley said that every dollar of rsduc-
ton carried in this bill for streets and sewers
meant simply that much to be added to some
future bill No saving is being effected. The
money must be appropriated some time, be-
cause it is needed
Mr.. Beane said that in promising the reduc-
ton they delay this bill The public, would
have been neglected to that extent and some

the neglect.
