All the.men. turned out to save the lives of the COWS. Some of the cider had work ed just enough to be nice to the taste, and pretty soon a good many of the men were as badly off as the poor brutes. A free fight was the result.
 "And this is only October" said one of the women; 'and with all the cider to be drank there is in this neighborhood, how shall we live until spring ?" !
 "Cider's awful sturf," said old Mother Wiggin. q like it so we'll, it has done so much: for me, it aint likely should do it any harm," and she slipped away, leaving the other women holding an in- dignation meeting in Mrs. Sloan's kitch- en.
 There were barrels of cider at the mill belonging to nearly every one of the neigh, boring farmers. They always had bee turning out with drags and oxen to get the cider home and into the cellars.
 The bee was to take place next day. The men gathered bright and early to find every barrel empty.
 "It.is the work of the women," they said; but the women affirmed that they knew nothing about it.
 "It ain't likely you'd lay it to me" said old Mother Wiggin; II think too much of the stuff to waste a drop. That is what you think, but you are mistaken. Cider has ruined me; now as long as l live I'll be the ruin of ali the cider I can find anywhere. l can't pay fine. I've drunk up my property, but you can put me in jail and it will be better home than 1've had these many years"
 "Shall I be like her when I am old if l drink cider ?'' asked beautiful little girl, standing by; 'say, papa, shall I ?"
 "The Lord forbid!" said Mir. Sloan, taking his little daughter in his arms. ''I say, neighbor, this must be a warnin'. Pm going to sign that paper of my wife's, and I mean it. when I say I never will make or touch or taste another drop ot cider while live."
 "What will you do with the apples ot your great orchards ?"
 ''I will feed them out to my stock and
 "What will you do for vinegar? ?" "Buy it." ..'. ,t
 ::,:;'That will. be nothing new," said his wife; i've always have, for the cider has been used to drink. We never were able to save any for vinegar"
 Those people found that they could get on through all emergencies without cider. The next year was an off year, and by that time the profits of lives of temper. ance could be counted.
 Men and their wives lived peaceably to. gether. There was not feud in the dis trict between families. The school was better than ever before, and prayer-meet ings that met at the houses were after { time organized and took the place of tho visits where cider used to be handed around. >
 Old Mother Wiggin became the care ot the neighborhood. She gave up her hab it of drinking, lived to be respected, and was mourned when she passed away

Juvenile Purchasers.

Juvenile Purchasers. One of the most striking features in the poorer regions of the city is the early age at which children are made useful in the household. In my rambles about town have seen children-puny. undersized children too-of four and five years of age carrying milk. meat, groceries, etc., having just performed that part of the family marketing. Step into any of the Seventh avenue butcher shops. bakeries ably see children of from four to eight years old purchasing family supplies. l have seen children whose eyes were still on q level with the butchers chop ping block buying five cents worth of odds and ends of meat for the family stew, and paying for it in pennies care fully counted out into the butchers big brown hands-pennies hard earned, no doubt One time the child couldn't talk distinctly enough for the man to under stand.

A LEAP YEAR STORY.

Leap year had been on for month, and Ethelind had her net spread for Athel- wold.
 She had loved him long, because she could not we'll avoid it, inasmuch as he was feet 6 in his sock feet.
 She would have loved him short, how eyer, just the same. F. It is thus with women always.
 And Ethelind was a woman, and had been one since the spring of 1870. :t' Nor was Athelwold bullet. <
 Indeed, the tongue of envy had said he was regular old rooster.
 Be that as it may, Ethelind was dead set not to let another leap year escape in- to the irreclaimable past.
 "Athelwold," she said to him on the evening in which the story opens, as they sat before the great open fireplace in the oak wainscoted drawing room of her an- cestral castle, "don't you think it is about time you were married ?"''
 He started nervously, but there was no escape.
 ' Ethelind," he said, seriously, "I thought so this evening when 1 found four buttons missing from my clothing, and discovered that my shirt front was so frazzIed ;w1th wear that it could be comb ed out and parted in the middle with a brush.''
 Ethelind's facewasless tender. Athel- wood went on 'gravely:
 Again, Ethelind, thought so when I discovered that my landlady did not know a terrapinf from mock turtle, and frap- ped my champagne in a soup plate; and, again, when the chambermaid forgot to set my Slippers out, and I went to bed with my boots on."
 The yearn which has erstwhife pervaded Ethelind's sweet face began to hedge.
 But Athelwold went on, as gravely as before.. '.- :: t.'. .s *..
 "Yes, Ethelind, I think it is time was getting wife. On three occasions last week was in danger of contracting pneu- monia by waiting at the front door for some one to let me in, and it was only 3 a. m.; and night before last, when the boys were playing poker in my room and became drier than a line full of clothes in March wind, the landlady raised row because we made little noise foraging around the pantry for something that was wet"
 He moved over nearer her side and of fered to take her hand.
 stEthelind," he said, with deep earnest ness, ''I think it is time I was getting a wife to keep things in more convenient shape about me- Will"
 Ethelind arose to her full height and looked downsupon him.
 s'Hold off, Mr. Athelwood Bumhurst, ; she whispered, hoarsely. "Hold of. asked you if you didn't think it was time .you. were ;tnarried.f YQu have answered me- i believe you. But MT, Bumhurst l." and her voice grew harder still, q don't think it is near time was getting married. You will find the front door 1T it's accustomed place. Good evening sir"
 | And Ethelind went hurriedly to hel maiden chamber over the portcullis win dow

Athelwood found the front door as she had said.
 As he stood upon the other side of the moat he looked toward the moss grown walls of the grim, gray castle, and saw the hickering light in the portcullis win dow.
 "Truth crushed to earth may rise again, he said, as he turned away, "but bachelor, never"
 And the light over the portcullis sput- tered and went out-Detrajt Free Press.

Acpt Tlp for years-the offer that's made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Ca tarrh Remedy. It's addressed to you, if you have Catarrh. It's a reward of $500, if they can't cure you, no matter how bad your case, or of how long standing-an offer that's made in good faith by re- sponsible men.
 Think what it means! Absolute confidence in their Remedy, or they couldn't afford to take the risk. A long record of perfect and pcrma- i1ent cures of the worst cases or they couldn't have faith in it. It means no more catarrh -or $500. If you fail to be cured, you won't fail to be paid.
 But perhaps you won't believe it. Then there's another reason for try ing it. Show that you can't be cured, and you'll get $500. It's a plain business offer. The makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will pay you that amount if they can't cure you. They know that they can-you think that they can't. If they're wrong, you get the cash. If you're wrong, you're rid of catarrh.

Everything Is Taxed.

The American laborer in the most high
ly protected industries goes upon strike
against the lowering of his wages, wear
ing cap taxed so per cent, shirt taxed
30 per cent. and suit of clothes taxed 100
per cent. He talks the situation over
with his wife, and until the sheriff dis
trains on him for his rent he rests his
feet, wearing shoes taxed 20 per cent.
upon a carpet taxed 50 per cent. He
cuts the bacon produced by the unpro-
tected farmer with knife taxed 100 per
cent, and if his wife cries oyer their
prospects she wipes her eyes with hand
kerchief taxed IS per cent. If she does
not persuade him to go back to work at
lower wages his place is supplied by the
foreign pauper labor Of Bohemia or Po-
land, and he has leisure to reflect on how
protection helps him.-Baltimore News.

Pure Dem ocratic Doctrine.


The Enquirer carried in its Washing
ton dispatches the editorial of the New
York Herald commencing the Demo
cratic platform for It's declaration that
congress has no constitutional power to
levy tariff duties except for purposes Of
revenue. But it is strange that The
Herald should fancy this to be new
departure. It is Democratic doctrine as
old as Jefferson. And there is one other
whose memory Democrats love and re-
vere-one Andrew Jackson. He was a
Democrat all through and friend Of
the people always. In his farewell mes
sage as president of the United States he
used these words: Congress has no
right under the constitution to take
money from the people unless it be re-
CURED to execute some one Of the spe-
cifc powers intrusted to the govern
ment, and if it raise more than is
necessary for such purpose tits an abuse
of the power Of taxation and unjust and
oppressive" Andrew Jackson was right,
and the Democratic platform of 1899
simply follows his vigorous declaration.

That Wasn't Election Year.

In swinging around the circle last year
President Harrison at Omaha gave ut
terances to a sentiment That was virtual
ly severe criticism of various Repub-
lican policies He said that the theory
of our government ''is largely individual
liberty, and to take out Of the way of
legislation that obstructs the free, honest
pursuit of human industries, and to al
low each individual to have the best pos
sible chance to develop the highest pros
perity for himself and family" This
declaration goes much further in the d.
rection of free trade than anything con-
tanned in the Chicago platform. Yet it
should be said that Mr.. Harrison's acts
have been utterly inconsistent with his
own eclaration.-Buffalo Courier.

Low Wages Follow Protection.

The lowest wages paid in this country
for labor at all skilled are in industries
having protection, and none of them
pay any more than the market rate for
labor, while all strive to appropriate the
entire tariff bounty to themselves and
give workmen no share. All ultra pro-
tectionists harp continually upon the
alleged high wages paid by American
protected manufacturers to their foreign
imported laborers, but an examination:
of the pay rolls shows that the claim
consists chiefly of imaginary money and
that in point of fact they are the poorest
paid town laborers in the United States,
and the more highly protected the fac
tories are the less the wages.-Chicago
