IT HAS been proved that in consider
alton of money supplied by the nation
al republican committee, an agreement
was made with the populists of Ala
bama at the last Presidential election by
which, in case theirelectors were chosen,
and their vote would decide the cleo
ton, it would be cast for Mr. Harrison.
A State election is now approaching in
Alabama. and already New England
republicans are trying to collect money
for the populists there who are engag-
ed in another attempt to wrest that
State from the democrats and to break
the solid South. This fact of itself
alone should be sufficient to make the
Alabama democrats stand shoulder to
shoulder, and to revive in The memory
OF the disailected ones among them the
story of the ill-eflects Of accepting the
advances of gift bearing enemies.

Walter E. Logan of Sacramento,
Cal, at the Laciede recently AT
ter we had discussed the more sub
stantial portion OF the repast and
dessert was being served, oranges
were placed before each guest, the
skins of which had apparently not
been broken, yet from which the
pulp had in some mysterious manner
been removed and four or five differ
ent kinds Of jelly substituted in It's
place. The guests expressed good
deal of establishment as to how such
an operation had been accomplished,
but their amaZement was only in
creased when dish of eggs, the
shells of which appeared to be per-
fectly whole, was placed upon the
table. Examination showed the con-
tents Of the eggs had been removed
and the shells filed with nuts and
candy. Our host smilingly refused
to tell us how such wonderful results
had been accomplished, and we left
the house cnnrIntolv mvstitied."

MOTHERS THANKSGIVING.

Such quaint little Mother. in a gown of
silver gray,
Her snowy hair smooth parted in the dear
Old-fashioned way,
And on her head lint white cap OF soft
est, flmiest lace,
That made a picture frame about her
sweet and placid fece.
Such braye:little Mothers! So many a
year had fed
Since her husband, leaI and loving, had
been numbered with the dead.
90 many. many summers had she borne a
lonely heart
That her fair age and his bright youth we're
half a life apart
Such a gentle little Mother! An! the bows
remember now,
Sorro wfuIly, every shadow on that tender
tranquil brow;
They remember how she taught them. how
she kissed them each at night,
And they felt no need of angels keeping
watch till morning light
Such trustful little Mother! There were
dark days now and then,
Though the dear lads never dreamed it
until they were bearded men;
She would go away alone kneeling in her
chamber dim,
And would tell the Lord her troubles, cast
ing al her care on him.
Such a happy little Mother! With laugh
like bells a chime,
Ever swift to see the bright side, ready
with quip and rhyme.
o, so quick Nth loves own pity! o, so
earnest meath the jest!
Ever lavishlug her kindness, giving ever
of her best
Such winsome little Mother Why the
village children came
Trooping merrily about her; she knew
everyone by name;
Baby faces smiled to greet hers by some
subtle impulse stirred,
AS if f1edgings new the brooding of the
tender III bIer-b bird.
Such true little Mother! Never dallying
with wrong;
Honest to the very hearts core; bearing
burdens late and long;
Paying every debt with interest: filing
every day with wok.
With a deep dtsdain for any who the days
demand would shirk.
Such a blessed little Mother! Through
their Tears her sons to-day
Thank the God she served and honored that
she sleeping passed away;
Lifted to he home in heaven, to the COM
rade gone before.

You Deserve a Good shakinp.

And chills and fever will give it if you don't
take defensive measures to escape the periodic
scourge in a region where it is prevalent The
best safeguard and remedy is Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which is free from any objec.
tons applicable to quinine, and is infinitely
more e1fectual. Wherever on this continent
and IN the tropics malarial complaints are most
virulent and general, the Bitters is the recog-
nized specific and preventive. 1t does not nit
igate, but eradicates chills and fever, bilious
remittent, dumb ague and ague cake. For
rheumatism, inactivity of the kidneys and blad-
der, for constipation, biliousness and nerve in
quietude it is of the greatest efficacy, and the
unsolicited testimony in its behalf Of eminent
medical men leave no reasonable doubt that it
IS one of the most reliable family medicines in
existence. Use it continually, and not by fits
and starts.
