The poetry Of shopping comes In with
those shoppers who are starved for ex-
citement, variety and beauty at home.
It is not lawful; they have no right to do
it; but they have no society TO satisfy a
hunger for the beautiful with jewels
and fine dresses on others IL rot on
themselves. They cannot afford TIE
thesters; they 20 to The shops They
look at the laces and long; they
go TO the embroidery counters and
fancy; they educate themselves in the
matter of india shawls; they seek the
sillSroom, brilliant with gas lights and
electric lights. aud look at brOcades fit
for the court Of a brineess. at silks whose
hamboyant scarlets burn in the illumi-
nation. whose tender blue is the blue Of
spring skies half robbed Of rain, whose
green is the breaking wave Of the sea.
whose violet is the hue Of mountains far
away in autumn mists. and they picture
themselves or those they love robed and
radiant in these tissues. And If the poor
shopman is weary when they go away
they themselves are refreshed for long

When the morning train from Shenan-

high trestle Of the Pennsylvania railroad
n mile above st. Clair. at high rate Of
speed. the engineer was Mortified ut dis
covering two men ahead in the center Of
the structure. II was too late TO stop
the train. and as there is but single
track and no sidewalk the engineer after
reversing his engine closed his eyes to
shut out the sight Of two human beings

Persons suffering from rheumatism
are naturally anxious to try every pro-
posed remedy. John Raymond, Of north.
ern Iowa, had tried without relief nearly
every alleged cure suggested by friends.
Then he read this in a medical Journal;
"There Is more benefit In a good laugh
than in the hot water remedies, the faith
cures, the electric, and all other new
treatments In the world, and II costs
nothing. II you know of nothing else TO
laugh at, laugh at your neighbor"
This was a new idea TO poor Mr. Ray
mohd. But what should he laugh a1
In the house was nothing amusing.
However, the medical Journal said,
"Laugh at your neighbOr."
He went out on the front porch, and
sitting in a chair, watched the people on
the streets. For a time he saw nothing
funny. Then q big German walked by,
mGttering aloud TO himself .
"Ea, ha, hal" went Mr.. Raymond.
The big German stopped and looked.

"Und den you leotle sick Yankees

But Mr.. Raymond, who really had not
meant to be rude In the least. gave up
the laugh cure, believing that the
"shoke" was on himself rather than on

GIVE THEM A SHARE.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Times enters the fol-
lowing plea in behalf of the editors
receiving proper recognition in the
distribution OF Federal patronage:
Among the saddest and most heart
rending of all of the CHASTITY lot of
queer rulings made by the new Cabinet
lords is the one which is alleged to
cut off Democratic newspaper editors
from enjoying the trihing local re-
wards for long and faithful and tire
less party services.
There is something in such a ruling
that smacks of that 'singratitude which
would rob the dead, would steal the
orphans bread, would pillage the
temple of the King OF Kings, and clip
angels pinions while they sing"
If there is a man on earth who is
entitled 70 reap such of the rewards as
the average newspaper man wants, it
is that devoted soul, who arises at
s'sun up" digs an hour in the cabbage
patch, sticks in few black-eyed peas
about the springing corn, and then
hustles up town, climbs up the trem-
bling outside stairway to newspaper
Office over the general store, and
begins his party services.
His loaded editorials, written in
burning words, laud the party and
praise its principles, its leaders are
heroes and its presidential candidate
an uncrowned king. Then he steals
own-stairs, and about the store
porches and on the court house green
he vigorously advocates the success of
Democracy. He receives gratefully a
cord Of wood, or bag Of potatoes for
an annual subscription, and in grace
full words, with an invitation to repeat
the call, he acknowledges the receipt
of the "biggest watermelon,' or the
''inest basket of sprouts" of the sea-
son. He breaks up the office stool on
the coolest winter days to warm the
printers ink, and work the hand press
with tireless vigor all night Wednes
day, that on Thursday the people may
know at sunrise that the Democratic
party is supreme.
TO draw the line on patriot like
this, is to abuse the private in the
ranks, faithful to his duty, and to
applaud the Indifferent officer, who
only wires the news of the battle.
1t is said now, however, that Mr..
Cleveland did not intend to convey
the idea that newspapers men should
not be appointed, but only that their
services to the party should not stand
as an absolute condition of the recog-
milton.
