"Let Us Have a Charge y"

The country has become accustomed
to this appeal in the campaigns of
dozen years or more, and surely is
ready to admit, in the face of existing
facts, that the appeal should this year,
if ever, be needed. The men who were
deceived into voting for Cleveland and
free trade last year are certainly blind
indeed if in Ohio they do not now sup
port Mckinley and protection. 1t is
the only way to restore confidence and
prosperity and it is the manly way to
quietly acknowledge and correct the
error Of year ago.
One year ago the country was in a
highly prosperous condition. Manu-
featuring establishments were pushed
to fill the demand for their products
and operatives in mill, factory and store
were working overtime at advanced
wages, and there were none without
employment who were able or willing
to work What q change in the short
space Gof these few months, notwith-
standing abundant crops of all the great
agricultural staples and what should
be increased employment for thousands
on account of the Worlds Fair! The
result of the change is perhaps best IL
lustrated by the New York World,
which contributed not little to bring
about the change of political conditions
that have produced this industrial dis
trust and financial menace. Its testi-
mony may be assumed, therefore, to be
free from exaggeration. The World
published statistics from 81 trades
unions in that city giving the number
employed and unemployed. The show
ing is startling.
The total membership Of these 81
unions is 98,950. OF these SO, III, or 81
6-10 per cent are unemployed. There
are four unions where rs per cent are
unemployed. namely, clothing cutters,
liners and trimmers, gilders and picture
frame makers, horseshoers and shoe
makers. There are IA unions which

as he ceased speaking, but the crowd
parted right and left, and the CHIEF
drew his knife and stood surveying the
captive. We got the word at this mo-
ment to open fire, and our ten carbines
and the scouts rifle rang out as one.
We rose up with cheer and fired
again and again, but after the third
volley there was no longer anything in
sight to fire at. The Indian ponies,
grazing a little distance away, dashed
off in a drove, and every warrior who
could move rushed at the side of the
mountain and disappeared among the
rocks and thickets.
The command came galloping up,
but there was no work for it. On the
ground lay seven dead and two
wounded Indians, with ten or twelve
rifles and all their blankets scattered
about. Seven of the eleven men hao
aimed at the chief in the first fire, anc
seven bullets had struck him. We
turned to the scout as it was over, anc

Only those who have examined the mat
ter carefully have any idea of the many
figures of speech in use in our ordinary ev-
eryday language. Indeed these figures are
as intimately woven into the web and wool
of our language as the figures in Persian
rug. Even the most rigid science has to
depend on figures of speech to make itself
understood.
But as some people use more personal
ornaments than others, so some indulge
in more figures of speech, and Mr. Robb of
Williamsburg, \. Y, is one of these.
Recently, when thinking of changing his
dwelling, he called on German landlord
who had a number of houses to let
Mr.. Robb was shown the most desirable
of these. 1t was very nice residence, but
it struck the prospective tenant that the
rooms were rather small, and he expressed
his opinion in this way:
TITS a nice house, Mr.. Goldberg, but the
rooms are too small. Why, in most of
them there isn't room to swing a cat"
Volts dot you say" asked the landlord.
II say / couldn't swing a cat in most of
these rooms"
Colt i'm himmel! Vot for you want to
swing der gat in dem rooms, chr"
well" laughed Robb, Il might want
to, you know, and if / should there isn't
room"
81 don'd like dings like dot" muttered
Goldberg. Il own dem houses den year
unit hat goot denants, bud none oof dem
vos in dot swingin gat piziness."
Promising to see Goldberg again, Mr..
| Bobb left, but he did not return, for that
evening Mr.. Goldberg's son called on him
| and said:
"Mein fader, Muster Goldberg, he send
me rount to say he is goin to rent dot house

Mr.. Simon Belford, recently retired, lived
within hearing distance of two blacksmith
shops for 81 years, yet so long as he was in
active business he never knew that he had
nerves, nor was he ever disturbed in the
slightest by the Gathering on the anvils, if
indeed he ever heard them. But he has
time to think of and to be disturbed by
such things now.
Just when he wants to take that second
sleep in the early morning the sons of Vul-
can begin their pounding, and the poor
man has to get up. He stuffed cotton into
his ears, but without effect, and so he has
come to have positive envy of men who
are born deaf
Driven to desperation, Mr. Bedford one
day sent for the two rival blacksmiths, and
on their appearing in his library he said
MY friends, am getting to be an old
man, fear. Now, you two have been neigh
bors of mine for long time, and | have
given each Of you some work" Not caring
to tell them his real purpose, he went on:
~ am anxious to be of service to you both.
IfSou two agree to set up in another shop
some distance from where each of you is
now working, l will give you $500 apiece.
What do you sayS"
The two blacksmiths promptly said,
Eyes, sir, and were profusein their thanks
to the good man.
They left, but after two days and nights
of restful quiet, which Mr.. Bedford enjoyed
thoroughly, the pounding on the anvils be-
gan again, with greater vigor than before.
Much angered, Mr.. Bedford sent for the
men and said, Did not give you money,
my friends, that each of you might secure
another shop"
YES, sir" said one, land so we have.
I've moved into Ned Greene's shop, and
he's moved into mine"

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING TALES OF ADVENTURE
ON SEA AND LAND.
The End of n Selfish Life-A story That
Points Plain Moral-Dead at n wom-
nuence

The End of Selfish Iife-A story That
Points Plain Moral-Dead at n wom-
ans Grave--The Want of wholesome In
huence.
Copyright, 1898, by American Press Associa-
toni
There are men-and women, too-whose
lives would seem to be one unbroken rec
ord of selfshness, and yet who manage to
get on in the world and to win where
Others much better than themselves fail.
Dick Folingsby was n man of this kind.
Dick and were distant cousins and play
mates aud schoolmates in our boyhood. l
recall as distinctly as il it were yesterday
that Dick had a great habit of breaking
tops, letting kites get loose, losing books
and bursting the barrels of shotguns, but
the things lost or injured were never his
own-they always belonged to myself or to
some other boy.
Whenever il came down to the division
of an apple, an orange or piece of cake
always the property of some other boy, for
Dick never divided his things-he invari-
ably managed to do the cutting and al
ways got what we called 1.-THE biggest half"
He grew up to be fine looking fellow,
| though with rather n cynical expression.
| | remember my father, with the privilege
of kinsman, pointed OUT to Dicks parents
on one occasion what he thought were the
defects in the boys character but they
thought his peculiarities would the better
qualify him for the calling of n merchant,
which it was decided he should be.
Soon after Dick Folngsby came of age,
his father and mother died, leaving him an
estate that brought in about 50 900 year.
If Dick had been left poor, am quite sure
that he would have won his way, like many
men of the same disposition, and achieved
u fortune, but competency was a death
blow to his ambition. 1t seemed to ener-
vate all his nobler impulses, while it in
tensifed his selfishness
From first to last do not recall having
heard of Dicks giving away one cent in
charity or helping n man who was down
from that impulse of sympathy which we
often find associated with natures that are
far from noble.
And yet as | look back upon his career
cannot help thinking that with proper in
fuences about him, when his character was
in process of formation, that Dick Folings-
10y might have been n most useful man,
who in dying could look back upon well
spent life.
recall that when we were boys of or
years in Kentucky, that one of our chums
of the same age had a pretty baby sister OF
about 3. Even unto this day never see q
baby with golden hair and laughing blue
| eyes without being reminded of Edna Davis

A SENATOR'S SUPERSTITION
Why William B. Bate of Tennessee
Never Lights His Cigar.


William B. Bate, twice elf cted Sena-
tor from Tennessee, never lights
cigar. He has always one IN his irgers
or between his lips, but 70 match is
put to it, He is a familiar figure in the
upper chamber-his abundant snow.
white hair, a carefully tended moustache
of the same color, his stopped form
and lined face, with massive UNDERLYING
Jaw, making him marked in an assembly
Of strong personalities. His advocacy
of the "dry smoke" as it is called, and
his habit Of twenty-five cent weeds a
chewing tobacco have continued for
more than quarter of century. a
story is attached. He is the last man
IN the world whom one would suspect
of superstition, but his avoidance Of
matches is due to that part of our
natures and to nothing else.
He entered the war as a private
when his State seeded from the Union,
and rose through the successive grads
of lieutenant, captain, lieutenant
colonel, brigadier and major general.
He had a taste Of military life in the
Mexican war and embraced the first
opportunity to re enter it. One day
toward the end of the long and bitter
struggle, wnen the two stars of the
major general were on his shoulders,
his corps which was a part of the Army
of Tennessee, was engaged in battle
in the mountains. AT that time he was
an inveterate smoker. Always cool In
action, his cigar case was as much {
part of his makeup as his horse anc
saddle. Along toward noon, when the
fire from the Federals under assault
was particularly heavy and vicious, he
moved up to an exposed position in
order to give countenance to his men,
His brother went with him. Senator
(hen generaD Bate reached for his
breast pocket and took out cigar
He bit off the end with customary
nicely, scratched a match on the bach
of his saddle and settled down in hi!
stirrups to enjoy himself
There was a shock in the air, thu
nameless, indefnable stir produced b,
the close passage Of a shell or rounC
shot, and the match within two niche
of the end of the weed went out
Struggling his shoulders and preporIni
to get another light, he glanced abou
him. His brother, who had been st
ting on his horse little to the left ant
in the rear, was a corpse. The bal
had struck him in the chest and al
that Bate saw was a mixed mass G.
dead flesh ten feet behind. The hors
stood unmoved. The mn who wa
alive looked at the uulighted mattel
between his fingers. He twired .
slowly a moment and then rode to tn
rear for an ambulance. The cigar h
held in his hand for an hour or tw,
and slowly chewed into bits
From that day to this he has neve
known what it is to smoke. Som
sense of an awful danger providential
averted has been with him. 1t is pos
sible that he las come to look upor
the lighting Of cigar as a desecralior
of his brothers memory, Anyhow h
does not light it Day after day in tn
Senate chamber or in the Corridors c

in his hand that is frequently carrie

Aim at the Drake
And you are bound TO hit some Of the
ducks. This is precisely the same with
Warnpole's
Tasteless
Preparation
Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COP LIVER OIL has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is a delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchia
troubles it is unequalled. Nc
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take if.
