MR.. BROWNS PLATFORM.

There is only one Joe Brown in this
country. Twice he has posed as can
didate for political honors before the
people ok;uster county, and IN each of
these campaigns he has favored the peo-
pie with his personal platform. We
have not his platform Of 1892 at hand
but his last issue is before US, and to
the best Of our recollection it is re-
print Of the nne that aided in his defeat
two years ago, with some few elimina-
tions and a very considerable addition;
in fact Mr.. Browns personal platform OF
1894 would fill more than two columns

back TO 1858 to fix the blame Of alien

II is rich in the history Of the last cen
fury and dwells lovingly on the memory
of Thomas jefferson. who he enormously
calls a democrat, when every reader of
American history knows that Andrew
jackson was the sire Of this dubious
political strain. 1t is not probable that
many voters have read this lengthy
screed OF Mr.. Browns and for this reason
we regret that our space is too limited
to review it at length. What it does not
relate about the early days Of the feder
al union is not worth relating, though
candor compels us to say that the re-
iation is somewhat disiointed. jumping

to 1872 then to 1776, and finally fetching
up with the introduction of the Wilson
bill which Joe endorses from beginning
to end. He is not quite so well pleased
with the senate bill, but heartily ap-
proves of free list contained therein
which includes wool.

the field in favor of Mr.. Glib. Having
laid this foundation for what is to fol-
low he regrets that we, the common
people Of the land that's Joe and the
populsts) are not in the same serried
ranks. marching to certain victory
against the entrenched privileges of plu-
tocratic wealth, ETC. That sounds nice
and is well calculated to catch few
popullstc votes at the expense Of Mr..
Gibb who Joe was so anxious to retire in
favor of. but along toward the end of
the platform. he inadvertently "calks
himself and shows up as one of the
putocrats as follows: Il am happy to
say that | heartily endorse the income
tax, and am happier yet that | will
have TO pay the tan Here is a candi-
date posing as one of the common peo-
ple" and yet confessing to an income of
more than $1,000 "a year. and lie keeps
right or talking like a plutocrat. He
implores the people not to envy him his
good luck and finally drops into senti
mentality when he says in explaining
his wealth that loved virtue more than
vice" and so found his reward. Still
farther on he refers to himself as zone
of the great unwashed." This in the
hope of regaining his back hold on the
common people that slipped when he
declared himself to be so well fixed. Joe
is known, the country over, as ''the man
with the Jetfersonian principles" He
lives in the dust and traditions of the
eighteenth CENTURY. and he can no more
help egiving vent to his recollections
of these bygone days than he can
help the fultilment of his ultimate des-
tiny. But don't forget. that being so
well fixed himself, he heartily approves
of wool being on the free list and if he
goes to the legislature he will vote for
two democratic senators TO continue this
oppression.

Unique Advertising.

A tale is told of Robert Bonner and
of his belief in advertising. One day he
engaged whole page of a newspaper
and repeated a two line advertisement
upon it over and over again. 1t must
have been repeated 5000 times upon
the page in the smallest type.
why do you waste your money,
Robert:' asked a friend. Il noticed
that same line 50 often. Would not half
a page have answered your purpose?"
Half a page would never have

Mr.. Bonner. "At least five people will
ask that to every line, was the way /

A CUNNING REPTILE.
The Various Clever Devices He Used to Do
ceiye His Discoyerer.


ceiye HIS Discoverer.
A correspondent of The Popular Sci
ence News tells the following strange
story:
While searching for snails l turned
over an old log and disturbed a snake,
called by our negroes spreading ar
row" The tactics pursued by this
snake were curious.
First he erected his head and neck
and flattened them out till they seemed
no thicker than cardboard, thus increas-
ing his apparent size, as he took care
not to be seen edgewise. The shape of
his head changed. 1t took pronounced
triangular form-similar to the heads
of our most venomous snakes. Then his
tail, with the aid of n dry leaf, was
proclaiming that it was the tail of a
rattlcsnaze.
All this, coupled with an ominous
hiss, was calculated to strike terror to
the heart of his disturber, as for a mo-
mcnt it did. | rcsained my courage,
however, and began TO poke the serpent
gently with a stick, when, finding
''blustcr' of no avail, he sought safety
in flight.
Repeated headings off, showed him
how futile We're his efforts in that line,
and he altered his tactics again. He
turned Oh his back and remained mo-
tionless. / threw him six feet from the
ground, and so quickly did he turn over
that he seemed to strike on his back.
Once on his back, nothing could in
duce him to move Tapping, prodding,
twisting his tail-all were in vain.
Then l suspended him from the limb of
a tree, retreated little and watched
At the end of two minutes the reptile
moved. Slowly he turned on his spinal
column as ON an axis, surveyed the
premises, and seeing nothing dangerous
dropped to the ground and was making
off.
At my approach he died again. After
sundry prodGings, which failed 10 move
him, rewarded him for his cleverness
by giving him the liberty that he Ger
taInly had earned.
