Captain Samuel Urann. of Sullivan,

renowned for his horsey virtues and
steady habits. 1t SO happened that a.
one March meeting" the Democrats
carried the town for the first time in
twenty years Up to the time OF that
election Captain Sans horse had
never been known to shy, balk, run
away, or do any act unworthy of
model horse. Three days after tbs
election town business in a remots
quarter of the town required the at
tention of one of the selectmen.
He invited his wife to accompany
him, and hired Captain Sans horse to
make the trip. They reached their
destination in safety, the business was
satisfactorily adjusted. and they
started homeward. Captain Sam waz
a stanch Republican, and it is sup
posed that the horse was a Republican,
too At any rate, without seeming
cause, the horse ran away at break
neck pace with the official and his
wife. Our Democratic friend held on
so hard that he broke one of the reins,
and. after a time, with the remaining
rein, sheered the horse out against tbs
fence and stopped him Nobody was
hurt. and it was the horses first, last
and only exhibition of bad behavior.

The story of recent application
made 70 Senator Blackburn by an old
negro from Kentucky portrays the
eagerness TO secure something from

Senator Blackburn, with as much h
seriousness as he could command, as
sured Nose that he was powerless to
assist him TO an ''orfce," but that he
might provide employment in some
private concern. Old Moses face fell,
but soon frightened again.

The Argument Used

NY the makers of the sccond-class baking
~ powders to induce the dealer to push
them off on Royal consumers is tha.
they cost less than Royal and afford
the dealer much more profit
But you, madam, are charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost OF the
others is caused by the cheap, impure materials
used in them, and the haphazard way in which
they are thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal
for an inferior baking powder, made from i'm
pure goods of Fl per cent. less strength? If
you buy the other powders, insist upon having
a corresponding reduction in price

and National Capitals.
The order of President Cleveland
closing the doors of the White
House to the innumerable and ever
increasing army of office hunters is
quite severely criticised, but many
of the senators and members of
cOngpsss who still remain at the
national capital heartily approve
of the order. AS it's, the presi-
dents desk is overrun with petit
tiOns for Office and accompanying
letters of recommendation, as are
also the desks of department chiefs,
to such an extent as to greatly de-
lay the public business.
1t is quite probable that
United States war vessel will be

comes from the waist to within a few

ment which would take them on the water
People who have a dark or olive COM
pleSion do not understand what sunburn
means. They only get tanned the longer
they are exposed to the rays of the sun
and scon at people who complain of sun
burn, which they treat as an imaginary all
ment. One OF their favorite recommends
tons is to say:'Get well burned at the be-
ginning Of the summer and twill not trouble
you again." This Is the purest deluslon,
for the new skin which comes with the first
burn Is more sensitive than that which IL
replaced, and the second burn IL likely TO
be worse than the first, swelling I'D the
hands and face and destroying sleep and
comfort for three or four days
Then again, a thousand substances are
recommended as cures for sunburn. -
They allay some of the pain of a sunburn,
but do not prevent it, This summer how
ever, a preventive of sunburn has been dis
covered. 1t is nothing more or less than
the ordinary bismuth powder sold by every
druggist. IL you have a light compixion
and hav suffered from sunburn in previous
years get 10 cents worth Of bismuth powder
fore you go out on the water. Rub 1t well
into the skin and wash of after the sun
goes down. People who use IL get tanned,
but never burn.
