Some people seem to be born with
little or no consideration for their
fellow creatures, and, unhappily, they
are not always SO effectually squelch
ed as was a certain acquaintance of
Victor Won Scheffel's by that celebrat
ed poet, on the following occasion:
When Schefel was staying in Italy
for the benefit of his health, he re-
ceived from a friend in Germany an
unfranked letter containing nothing
but the words, 81 am we'll. With kind
egards-Yours," etc.
Annoyed at having to pay a double
postage for such an insignificant piece
of news, the poet determined to serve
bis friend out. He procured large
stone of immense weight, packed it in
a box, and sent it to his correspond
ent, "CaTriage forward"
The latter, in the belief that the
contents Of the parcel were valuable,
gladly paid the heavy charge for car
riage, opened the box, and found, to
his horror, nothing but an ordinary
stone, bearing label on which was
written, "On the receipt Of the news
that you were in good health, the ac-
ccmpapying load rolled off my hea1t!'

THE GARRETT At GRANDPARENTS

The rooms at grandfather's house
had been used so long, they were al
most human themselves. Each room
had a look of it's own, when you op-
ened the door,as expressive as a
speaking countenance.
But of all the rooms in that house,
up stairs or down, not one had the
strangeness, the mysterious nod and
beck and whisper, of the murky old
garrett.
clark, what was that?" it would
seem to creak; and then there was
silence ''Hushl I'll tell you a story"
it sometimes answered.
Some of it's stories were true, but |
should not like to vouch for all Of
them
What a number Of queer things it
kept hidden away under the caves
that spread wide broad winged cloak
of shadows! What strange eye it
had Its onehalf moon window peering
at you from the high, peaked fore
head of the gable.
ness to trot on errands, and they were
not consulted as to when or where
they should go. Grown people seem
to forget how early it gets dark up
garrett in winter, and how far away
the house noises sound with all the
doors shut between.
When the children were sent up
garrett for nuts,-for Sunday dessert
with mince-pie and apples, or to pass
around with cider in the evening"
they were careful to leave the stair
door open behind them; but there
was little comfort in that, for all the
people were two flights down and
busy with their own concerns.
The autumn nut harvest was spread
first upon sheets, on the garrett floor
to dry, and then it was garnered in
the big, green bath tub which had
stood, since the children could re-
member, over against the chimney, to
the right of the gable window. This
tub was for size and weight the father
of all bath tubs. It was used for al
most anything but for the purpose for
which it was intended.
In summer, when it was empty, the
children played "shipwreck" in it; it
was their life boat, and they were cast
away on the high seas. Some rowed
for dear life, with umbrellas and walk
sticks, and some made believe to cry
and call for help,-for that was their
idea Of the behavior of a shipwrecked
and some tramped on the
bullying tin bottom of the tub, which
yielded and sprang back with loud
thump, like the clank of oars. It was
very exciting.
In winter it was the granary. It
held bushels and bushels of nuts, and
it's smooth, outsloping sides defeated !
the clever little mice, who were al
ways raiding and rummaging among
the garrett stores.

SUCCESS IS SURE TO FOLLOW.

A successful business man was ask
ed by a Cincinnati Enquirer man the
other day the secret of his success
"Well." said he, sit is all due to some
good advice given to me by an old
man when | was a boy. I got out Of a
job one time and went to my old
friend for sympathy and advice. He
drew his chair up to mine, and taking
one Of my hands loosely in his own,
said: My boy, never be discouraged.
Have some confidence in your own
ability to tussle with the world. Be
independent. You must be like a
tramp that is in New York ard wants
to get to Chicago. After & good deal
OF trouble he gets into freight car,
near the engine maybe. He doesn't
ride far before he is seen and put off.
Does the tramp give up? No, he sim
ply gets Oh in the middle OF the train,
and if put off again goes farther back
until at last he is put of the caboose.
Then what does he do? Why, he sim
ply waits for another train and tries
it over. Now, if you have little trou
bles, just bide your time and crawl
back into favor. If your employer
should discharge you, that is no evil
dence that you have no ability or that
YOU can not succeed. It may be the
best thi ng in the world for you. Why,
some Of the most noted novels and
famous songs were refused by many
smart publishers, until at last some
one saw their worth and brought
them out. Just get into the next |
train and you will get there all right |

"We did not fight for ten long years
to secure independence of thought and

autocratic ring in order to establish a

also that will not follow or be gov

lowed to have his way, would not only
blacklist us all, but drag the State into
bloodshed and actual revolution in
order to accomplish his selfish purposes
and to crafty his malice and ambition.
He represents and personifes this idea
and while I do not believe that it is
wise, statesmanlike or patriotic, much
less Christian-like, to try to continue,
and to increase, as he evidently desires,
the present bitterness and discord in
the democratic party. It can only lead
to disorder, riot, oloodshed and ruin.
II am sorry that I feel compelled to
make this exposure, but I cannot, and
will not, submit to the long continued

and Misrepresentation of this loud

braggart, who has already disgraced US

discord into our own ranks by playing
the part of a dictator and tyrant. He
has no good record and has done moth
ing for the State, party or the Reform
movement worthy Of distinction, un-
less it be for strutting around Washing
