a probable successor to Pope Leo. He
is the main executive officer in charge
of the vast army of missionaries of the
Roman Catholic church, working in
every part of the world. Cardinal Jac-
obini is not yet so years of age. The
honors of his Office are next to that of
pope and papal secretary of state. He
is said to be one of the most amia.ble
of men. In appearance he is of middle
height, inclined tc be stout, and is of
dark complexion. He is an especial
friend of the rope, and has a wider
acquaintance with Americans than any
Of his fellow cardinals. He is one of
the prominent men of the day and will
likely be heard from in the future.

II know he did," said the little wo-
man in brown.
"Bu. there came am end to all this"
continued the big man in gray, not
noticing the interruption. ''The boy
was poor, very poor while the girls
father was the richest man in the
town. One day the latter gave the boy
to understand that he could never
hope to claim the girl for a wife. The
boy was crushed, completely broken.
He went away, poor miserable ghost
Of his former SELF
"He went into the army, he was ever
in the thickest of the fight and always
welcomed danger with a glad heart.
Men said he was a brave soldier and
made him an officer. His superiors
said he was a ca pable officer and asked
him to come up higher At the first
Bull Run he was only private; when
the war closed he commanded reg
iment. But to him all these things
were melancholy pleasure, for he was
only ghost. When the war was over
he went to travel in foreign parts and
then settled down In a great city,
where in business he was successful
perhaps, beyond his deserts. He was
famous and men were glad to claim
d
py in a strange, sad way; but then
how could a ghost hope to share the
pleasures Of the world in which he was
dead? Often, very often, he thought
Of the old life, and the things which
had been so dear to him, and he Won
der I'd if she had ever loved him."
''I think she did," said the little wo-
man in brown. But a lump came up
in her throat and choked her, and the
big man in gray went on talking.
"Once in a very great while I think
he really wished that he had never
lived"
Did he?" said the little woman in
brown; but the big man in gray did
not answer her.
"a few Gays ago." he continued, "the
poor ghost heard for the first time
that the father was dead and the
daugher alone. He resolved to come
back and see if he could not find his
lost self in trying to win back the
woman he loved. But then he is only
ghost and perhaps doomed to be dis
appointed"
II don't think so,'' said the little
woman in brown; and when the big
| man in gray pulled her head down up
on his breast she did not resist.
A month later there was a wedding
| in the village church. The wedding
| was quiet but a joyous one, and after
| 1T was over the big man in gray went
| to live with the little woman in brown
at the old cottage People say that he
is the most contented and happiest
ghost IN the world.

Sagacious women handle the reins SO
lightly that the husbands never know
they hold them at all. They resemble
Queen Caroline who ruled England and
George II, for ten years without
the king being aware Of it. In obsti-
nate cases. however, the wife must let
her hand be felt. And never yet was
there a marital mouth so hard but
some kind of a bit could be found
to subdue it. 1t will be wise, there
fore, of the men to capitulate at once,
and no longer insist upon male SUI
periority and male privileges. Their
rule is nearly over. But, in the see
saw of human events, if they should
in the future be placed in a subordi-
nate position, We must accord them
more generous treatment than they
have given us. We must not retaliate.
On the contrary, We should resist all
attempts to degrade them, and let
equality be our motto then as now.
Any other policy might act on them as
theirs has affected us. and so reduce
us again to subsection.

WHAT THE MINERS BUY.

Every merchant is guided more or
less in the purchase of his supplies by
the character of his customers, but, ac-
cording to the New York Sun, the men
vino run the general stores in the coke
regions of Pennsylvania have more pc
culiar ideas to meet than is the lot of
the average storekeeper. These stores
are all controlled by the owners of the
mines, and it is alleged that some of
them force their men to buy from them
exclusively. The profits of these stores
are undoubtedly large, although the
prices at some of them at least are
lower than they are at the usual
country stores. The unique features
of the wares carried in these stores are
the enormous feather beds, Polish and
Hungarian head-dresses, heavy boots
for the women as well as the men,
and all sorts Of gaIidy shawls and
dress stuffs. Among the special pro-
visions these stores supply are highly
seasoned sausages and nams, such as
are found in the Polish and Hungar-
ian quarters Of this town. The Poles
are much more eNtravagant than the
Huns and buy better and higher
priced goods. The Huns buy the
cheapest kinds uf meat, of which they
make their golasEes. They do not buy
very much of anything in the way of
provisions, however, relying largely
upon their gardens for vegetables, and
&C casionally killing: one of their ducks
or geese. The Poles, on the contrary
rely very little upon their own efforts
although they also have good gardens,
but purchase the best foods the stores
have. Very few Of the purchasers pay
cash. Instead they secure tickets from
their foreman for various amounts.
These are prese nted at the stores in
payment for purchases of supplies,
and tha clerks mark on them the
amounts of their purchases. When
the whole value of the ticket has been
contracted for it is taken up by the
clerk of the store.

N The old country circus my boyhood

In the days of three rirgs, hippo

No soft thrill Of love, no throb Of am

The old country circus. the shabby old

The wandering old circus my boy

How faithful I worked in the ways

To gain the few pennies my ticket

No toll was so sweetened-no reward

How fair shcne the sun on the glad

How rife with strange hustle the

And When o er the nlllS came tne rum

What wit of today like those jokes

And those divans of pine boards-such

Crop advices have continued gener-
ally favorable from this state and the
Pacific coast; some complaints of lice
come from Oregon and Washington,
but these appear to have exercised no
influence upon the market. Reports
from Europe continue very favorable
for the crop, especially from Germany.
In England a few complaints of lice
are reported. There are some reports
Of difficulty in growers on the Pacific
coast obtaining advances of money to
pay the expenses of picking because
of the uncertain value of the crop. 1t
is claimed by some that the earlier
estimates of the Pacific coast yield
have been placed too high. Picking
is said to be proceeding in the Sacra-
mento district of California, and will
be going on IN the early hops in this
state next week.-N. Y. Price Current.
Gervais Star: The annual harvest of
the hop crop will begin in great part
in this section Monday and it will be
none too soon as lice are becoming
apparent not alone on the leaves
but on the hop itself IN some yards
which were not sprayed they are
plenty. There is black mould reported
also III the SeVeFd1 VdFuS HeESdDculS.
So far as we have been able to inter
view the growers the report has been
the same. The only way to save the
crop when attacked by mould is to
cure as quickly as possible. Picking
will be universal Monday all through
this section and so far as we can learn
all yards are supplied with pickers.
The question of prices to be paid
pickers seems to have adjusted itself
without trouble.

any" Cashier \ NJ BlakesIey of the

financial policy. The credit of the govern

MADE OUTOF WHOLECLOTH

Stories Published About the Late Town
Clerk Pronounced Tissue of False
hoodS-F. Ii. Merriman Repudiates an
Interview with an American Reporter.
A representative of the DEMOCRAT visited
the town clerks office this morning and
asked Town Clerk Merriman for an inter
view relative to the article which appeared
in the American last night concerning
the deceased town clerk, James
J. Madden and his manner
of conducting the office. Insinuations had
been made that the late town clerk was dis
honest and that the office was in a rotten
condition and that only republican
should be in charge of the office Town
Clerk Merriman Mt first refused to speak.
The reporter argued with him that in JUS
tice to the late town clerks memory he
should make statement. Assistant Town
Clerk McMahon also Joined the reporter in
demanding an interview and when the
question was put to him point blank as to
Mr. Madden's honesty Mr. Merriman finally
said that a representative of the American
had called on hin. yesterday and asked for
an interview. He told lin he had moth
ing to say to reporters. The reporter in
question had not stated anything in re-
lation to the reports in circulation.
The published story" said Mr. Merri-
man, "waS made of whole cloth and there
was not particle of truth in it. 1 myself,
as town auditor, audited Mr. Madden's
accounts last September and found them
correct. The only money the late town
clerk could take from the town was the
dog tax As this was included in the &C
counts audited there could be no discrep-
ancy. Since last September only So was
collected for dog tax. This is secured by
a bond of 81 900 given on real estate and
this bond doubly secured by a bond of
Assistant Town Clerk McMahOn for 81 900
more"
In conclusion Mr. Merriman said that
far rs he knew everything in the office was
conducted honestly. There were some
deeds unsigned, but Mr. Mcmahon said
this could be accounted for. He was not
responsible for any statement made in the
American and authorized no one to make
Il statement.
Mr. McMahon endorsed this vindication
of Town Clerk Madden by saying that the
work of the Office had been well done, and
that Mr. Merriman since his advent into
the Office had confined himself solely to
making out the annual report of vital
statistics. He, Mr. Mcmahon, knew all
about the affairs of the Office, and pro-
nounced the published story tissue of
falsehoods and a vile slur on the memory
of the deceased. Town Clerk Merriman
did not deny this statement, but rather
acquiesced
