A BRAVE MAN.

"Can you help poor devil to a cup O.
coffee and bite to eat?" inquired dis
rep liable looking bum of party of
gentlemen who stood in front of the
Laclede and talked over the result of
the election. One man after another
shook his head until Judge Amos e.
Hodges was reached. The Judge
looked at the man closely, handed him
So bill and told him to get square
meal. bath, a clean shirt and a shave
and report him at the hotel. "You
must have a gold mine on your Mexican
ranch" said an acquaintance who saw
the V placed in the grimy paw. "NOt
exactly" replied the Judge, but I've
always got a few dollars for that fellow.
One day in the summer of "a my wife
and three children went out driving in
New Orleans behind a team of spirited
horses. While going down Canal street
the coachman dropped his whip and dis
mounted to recover it. The team took
fright at a fire engine and away it went
through perfect mob of vehicles. My
wife was powerless to even guide them,
and it was not span that many men
would care to get in front of. People
ran out into the street and waved their
arms and yelled whoa, as people always
do, frightening the horses worse, and
causing them TO make sudden turns that
threatened to upset the carriage before
it was dashed to pieces. But no one did
anything calculated to stop them. The
vag that has just left us was the first to
prove his manhood. He made a sudden
rush as the rig went whizzing by him,
caught the rear of the carriage and
climbed in. Finding that the ribbons
were dragging on the ground, he sprang
forward upon the back of one of The
horses and seized the bride rein. In
half a block he brought them to stand
still. Then he gathered up the ribbons
and brought my wife and babies safely
home Naturally l wanted to do some
thing handsome for him, but he
wouldn't accept a cent. l insisted, and
finally showed a 500 bill into his hand
and told him when he needed more to
come back to me. He looked at the bill
and handed it back. why, mister he
said, I'd drink myself t death in week
with all that money. Just make it a
tenner, will you? rade it 'tenner.'
and that's the last saw of him until
Just now."-St Louis Globe Democrat

DOING ALL SHE COULD.

'If," he murmured, as he gazed up
into her eyes (they were sitting on the
front steps,, ''if only had little more
money to count on" then he stopped.
"What would you do do?" she asked.
Deem her not bold, gentle reader, The
summer, she felt, was over; soon the
cold winds would put stop to these
front step sentimentals. No fellow ever
would propose in the winter time with
pa and ma in the sitting-room listening
to everything, and she felt she must jo :
him little.
He turned little pale and asked if
her pa was dealing at the same grocery
as last year.
Eyes, he is; what would you do?"
IL would have home of my own.
1 would, tbere!" This seemed like
business.
"How much have you got?" she said,
and her voice sounded firm.

his head.

for y ur room?"
Five dollars"
'Stuff; we can get room plenty
good enough for both of us and pan

your meals cost?'
Five dollars a week"
"Pooh; we can both live for that
cooking at home. What do you do with
the other $5?"
"Well, IL smoke, you know"
"Well, you can quit that right off any

MAPLE SUGAR. UO-opEKAr1oN.

The fact that cooperation in the sale
,of maple sugar is possible, has already
been demonstrated in Vermont and the
plan of cooperation IN production is be-
ginning to attract attention. The Spring
field Homestead notes the fact that a
''Maple Company" in Burlington pro-
poses to buy maple syrup from farmers,
and work it in regular refinery equip
ped with vacuum pans and centrifugals,
thus securing an extra fine quality of ma
DIE sugar. 1t also notes the fact that
the company has applied to the commits
sioner OF internal revenue at Washing
ton, to see if the bounty of one and
three-fourths or two cents per pound
will be paid them on such sugar, under
suitable regulations that shall prevent
any syrup or sap being worke1, on
which a claim for bounty is being made
by the producer or farmer; and that the
commissioner has not yet decided the
matter. The Homestead makes the fol-
lowing suggestion:
"Is there any reason why this plan
might not be adopted at a profit by CO.
operative company of the producers
themselves? Why isn't this scheme the
right one? Suppose fifty owners of SUI
gar orchards organized stock company
to work up at the central factory the
syrup boiled down at the sap house in
each orchard. If necessary to comply
with the internal revenue laws, the com
pany would lease the orchard and thus
have this business in fact as in name all
done by one party. This ought to be al.
lowable, and by such a plan farmers
would get the full benefit of the b unity
and the best price for their superior
quality of sugar"
No reasonable objection could possibly
be made to the scheme thus proposed, but
some technical point might be raised
that would render the project impossi-
BILE. If the talk of the leading Demo
Gratis means anything, however, the next
Congress will restore the duty on sugar
and do away with the bounty system.
There would still remain the incentive
to secure the production of a superior
quality of sugar and there is no reason
why CO. operation in the manufacture OF
sugar should not result in the production
of better article, just as much as
creameTes are an improvement upon the
single dairy. The suggestion is good
one and the experiments well worth try
ing, whether the bounty system is re-
tanned or not-Free Press.

The New York Tribune issues its pros
pectus for 1898, with undiminished con
iidence in the final triumph of Republi-
can principles, A newspaper, even great
Err imam it was in Horace Greeley's time,
the Tribune will strike sturdier blows
than ever for the economical and tinan-
cial policies, which have always seemed
to the Republican party the best for the
country at large. That clean, high
minded and sterling paper occupies a
field entirely its own. Its Weekly and
Semi Weekly editions are especially edit
ed fer the Country at large, and circulate
in every nook and corner of the United
States. The Tribune is not controlled by

The Tribune made splendid campaign
this past year. 1t was at work long be-

Republican view with remarkable force
and courage. 1t is one of the few met

oatarrb, Not Local. But Constitutional

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
phvsic an, in magazine article says: "a
radical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of catarrh. 1t is not dis
ease OF the mans nose; it is disease of
the man, showing itself in the nose-a
Local exhibition of Constitutional
trouble" Therefore, he argues, the
use of snuff and other local applications
is wrong, and wkile they seem to give
temporary relief, they really do more
harm than good. Other leading authOri-
ties agree with DR.. Lewis. Hence the
only proper method of cure for catarrh is
bv taking constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, reaching
every part of the body through the blood
does eliminate all impurities and makes
the whole man healthier. 1t removes
the cause of the trouble and restores the
diseased membrane to proper condition.
That this is the practical result is
proven by thousands of people who have
been cured of catarrh by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

REFnRR AND AFTER.

Before election our Democratic friends
filled tie air with cries of "The Tariff is
a Tax" Free Trade" and all that sort
of talk.
They told us that the Tariff was bur
den, that it made the rich richer and the
poor poorer and that it should be repeal
ed and reduced Tariff or a Tariff-for-
revenue-only substituted in its place.
They made it appear that all the ills of
life from the humps and measles, to the
high price of senstizsd paper, was due
more or less, to the attempt to manufac-
ture tin in this country, generally, and to
the iniquitOus Mckinley Tariff particu-
larly.
They said that all this should and
must be changed, so that the poor might
agrov r,, her and the rich poorer and the
effect of their campaign was to win many
votes from the poorer cI~SseS, "hlle the
more thoughtful were appfehensiyo ln:@'t
a radical and sweeping change of the
Tariff would kill off many of tile indus
tries of the country, and paralyze all of
them more or less.
But the very next day after the election
they began to tell us that there would be
no radical changes in the Tariff, unless
made by the Republicans themselves at
the closing session of the present Con
gress, while yet they were dominant in
the Senate and their Executive still oc-
cupied the White House: that the Tariff
was a pretty good thing to have after all,
especially in cold weather, and that they
did not intend to do anything to hurt the
industries of the country, much less to
kill them.
Not even the tin industry!
Well, WE'LL we breathe again.
We supposed, of course, that thel
