They Are Getting Together.
Win ingtOn MESSENGER.

The democrats throughout the state
are getting together rapidly. In a little
while the unanimity of the purpose will
be shown in their actions. To defeat the
"unholy alliance" is the present aim and
end of the real democrats everywhere.
They stand for principles that are funda
mental, have lived for a century and are
undying because based upon truth and
wisdom. The democrats mean to win
and to make it sure they will lock shields,
dress to the right and keep step to the
music Of low taxes and genuine reform

Qualified Ills Thinks.

In the first year Of his practice,
Judge Royce. OF Vermont, was called
to prosecute in justice suit, and
fresh from ChItty, filed plea in
abatement. which he duly discussed.
The justice. in deciding the case.
said: The young lawyer has filed
what he calls plea in abatement;
now the plaintiff seems to be a very
ignorant man, and his lawyer about
as ignorant as he is, and his writ
doesn't seem to be very good writ,
and it doesn't resemble one much
more than it does ho9-yoke; but
the plaintiff seems to be an honest
man, and if he has just claim
against this defendant, he shall have
Judgment" Whereupon, Judge Royce,
elated at the result, but somewhat
disguised with the remarks OF tho
justice, arose, and, making very
profound bow, said to the court: ~
thank you, d-n you. "-Argonaut

For the benefit of those without de-
termination to succeed in life, let me
quote from the letters of Longfellow
written while in college to his parents:
Whatever / study, ought to be en-
gagged in with all my soul, for will
be eminently something. 1 am afraid
you begin to think me rather chimeri-
cal in many of my ideas and that am
ambitious of becoming a rara avis i'm
terri But you must acknowledge the
usefulness of aiming high at some
thing which it is impossible to over
shoot perhaps to reach" Whatever is
undertaken in life should engage all the
energies with a determination to emf
nently succeed. This spirit would
,kindle desire to emulate the great
ness of the noble characters that have
adorned the world. 1t is the purpose
of this organization to bring rural
homes into closer fellowship with these
illustrious lives and teach them 1.-THE
sequel of true success. can recall no
language more inspiring, or that more
forcibly presents the road to success, a
few stanzas from The Ladder of St.
Augustine" by Longfellow:
1--WE have not wings, we can not soar;
But we have feet to scale and climb
By slow degrees, by more and more,
The cloudy SUBMITS of our time.
The mighty pyramids of stone
That wedge-i,ke cleave the desert airs,
When nearer seen and better known,
Are but gig antic flights OF stairs.
''The distant mountains, THAT uprear
Their solid bastions to the skies,
Are crossed by pathways, that appear
AS we to higher levels rise.
'The nights by great men reached and kept
" ere not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward i'm the night"

Lookout Mountain.

One of the largest signs ever painted
Is seen by visitors to Lookout noun
tain. The ascent up this historic old
mountain is made by an incline rail
way Open observation cars are used,
and the trip to Lookout point, 3, 200 feet
above sea level,is made in six minutes.
just at the foot of this incline the
laborat tory of the Chattanooga Medi-
cine Co. is located. The roof of this
building shows sign 175 feet long
and forty feet wide that reads "Mc-
Elree's Wine of Cardui for Women
Some of the letters are twenty feet
long and can be read from the cars
while riding all the way up the noun
tain. No visitor comes to Lookout
mountain without having wine of
Cardui" firmly impressed on their
memory. The Chattanooga Medicine
Company also make Thedford's Black
Draught, and have an immense labor

HE WAS A PHILADELPHIA
Notwithstanding which Fact lie Made

Notwithstanding which Fact lie Made
a Good bargain In New York.
Talk about Philadelphians being
slow" said an uptown dealer in
rare books to q New York Evening
Sun man; "why, I'll tell you about a
little incident that happened the
other day.
"A Philadelphia who has u nice
collection of rare engravings and
etchings came to this city on visit
and was almost stranded financially
before he knew it. An ordinary man
would have written or telegraphed
home for cash But this one didn't.
He was strolling down Broadway,
undecided whether to continue his
walk as far as Philadelphia or
not. when he came to little shop
where engravings and etchings are
sold.
.'His mania for collecting forced
him to enter the shop and examine
the stock. although he didn't have
money enough to buy a fair-sized
chrome Turning over u number Of
'etchings and en2ravings laying upon
a sort of bargain table at the rear Of
the shop he came across fine copy
of the celebrated Rajon portrait of
Tennyson, of which he had highly
priced specimen in his own collection.
Thinking it strange that the etching
should be lying among the other
cheap objects on tho table he asked
its price of a clerk
Take it along for u quarter
said the clerk.
"'All right said the Philadelphia
an. rolling up the etching and paying
over the money.
Shall | wrap it up for you"
asked the clerk.
oh. no, you needn't mind and
the Philadclphian walked off with
his prize. He did not walk far,
though. Stopping at ell.known
engraving Dealers shop not four
blocks away the Philadelphia man
offered the etching for sale.
" Twenty-Five dollars was the
oTcr of the dealer. The Philadelphia
man accepted the money. although it
was but little more than half the
price at which the Raion portrait is
>atalogued, and went his way. lie
paid all the expenses Of his New
York trip at one stroke"

MY FRIEND PERKINS.
He Is n Wicked Joker and lie Causes
Much Confusion.

Ehc rs u Nickeu Joker ana lie causes
Much Confusion.
Perkins is tall. angular and a prac-
tical joker of the severest type. Ono
of his peculiar pleasantries is to
suddenly halt strange pompous in
dividual on the street, buttonhols
him and remark with cool assump-
tion:
al beg your pardon. sir. but |
think you have made a mistake"
What is that, sir?" the victim is
likely to ask.
Well" Perkins will reply with
the utmost audacity, "this city does
not belong to any one man or set of
men. You may think you own it,
but you don't" And Perkins will
hurry away, leaving the pompous
man to his own reflections.
Sometimes he varies this interest
ing performance in this highly
original fashion: Stepping up to a
total stranger, he will beg for a
light for his cigarette. This trihing
favor having been extended, he will
engage his victim in conversation
for moment. When another
stranger appears Perkins halls him.
AS he approaches, Perkins introduces
him to the first man.
"Ah, Mr.. Smith, permit me to in
troduce you to my friend Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Smith"
OF course the men shake hands,
and Perkins takes his departure,
leaving the strangers to extract
, themselves from their embarrass-
ment as best they can.
One day Perkins entered small
dry goods store with friend.
Ranged in front of the counter were
a row of stools. Upon these the
men seated themselves. In "a mo-
ment dapper young assistant came
up and asked Perkins what he de,
sired. For an instant he seemed
puzzled for "a reply, but soon his eye
rested upon the familiar sign: I'll
you don't see what you want, ask fol
it." That furnished him cue.
We'll" he said in measured tones.
''you can bring me two poached eggs
and cup of hot coffee. What's yours,
George?" he added, turning to his
| friend.
Gimme the same" he responded.
All the girls in the shop stared al
the imprudent fellows. and the as
sistanJ's eyes began TO bulge.
"Gentlemen," he replied with q
show of calmness, "you have made
IL slight mistake. This is shop
and not q restaurant. DO i look like
u waiterp"
II am not here to answer youl
questions, young man" said Perkins
as with his friend he rose and moved
towards the door, .'but If you cam
fill orders you'd better go out of the
business or take in your sign"
And the jokers vanished out of the
door Perkins is still at large.

And she frowns like the demon that rides

Alas! it no longer is light can impart.
When touchd by the tale of unvarnish'd
distress,
A hand is extended the sufferer to bless
With cold, empty fingers that purpose to
blight,
Lo! poverty comes, like the mildews of
night.
II science her treasure attempts to display,
Where poverty holds her tyrannical sway,
Her subjects are torn from the rapt'rous
repast,
To labor condemned, while the mind is to

Tho genius goes forth on the pinions Of

With halos encircled, and brilliants be-
digit,
If poverty's vapors around him are cast,
The vale of obscurity hides him at last
Avaunt, then, thou goblin; away from my

I'm weary Of drinking thy walls of wrath
Thy mists have extinguished the lights Of
my SOUL
And my spirit revolts from thy further
control.

The habit Of taking "headache
powders" is increasing to an alarm
ing extent among great number Of
women throughout the country.
These powders, as their name indi-
Gates, are claimed by the manufac-
turers to be positive and speedy
cure for any form of headache. In
many cases their chief ingredient is
morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having
tendency to deaden pain. The
habit OF taking them is easily formed.
but almost impossible to shake OFF.
Women usually d, commence taking
them to relieve n raging headache
and. finding it successful, soon re-
sort to the powder to alleviate any
little pain. or ache they may be sub
jected to, and finally, like the nor
phine or opium tiend, get into the
habit of taking them regularly,
imagining that they are in pain if
they happen to miss their regular
dose.

1t is rather singular that, whereas
the drying of material laden with bac-
terra usually acts as a disinfectant, it
does not seem to do so to any great
extent with consumption germs. Com
menting upon the fact, Popular
Science News says: The probable ex-
PLANTATION of this lies in the fact that
the bacillus tuberculosis Koch is spore
bearing These spores act as seeds.
To dry up a field of wheat would COM
pletely kill the crop, but to dry the
ripened grain preserves it. Until very
lately the spirillum of Asiatic cholrea
was considered exceedingly susceptible
to desiccation. All the early reports
asserted that when once dried
they became powerless for i'll. A
French physician called Doyon has
lately teen experimenting in this di-
rection. He finds that, whereas pure
culture of cholera germs dried in or
binary air is completely sterilized, one
dried in an exsiccator, where the air
is kept perfectly dry with sulphuric
acid, retains it virulence for a long
time. 1t even resists the bacteria aci-
dial influence of such substances as
sulphuric acid and oil of mustard
when so dried. Cholera germs, con-
trary to the public idea concerning
them, are among the most easily killed
of any yet discovered. Ordinary vim
egar will kill every germ in a culture
in about Is minutes, and water, treated
to its own volume of red or white
wine, will render them harmless. The
reason these substances are not spe-
cifie against their action in the system
is because we possess no means of get
ting them to such part of the intestine
as thew attack

WHY WE SALT BUTTER.-There is a
general impresslonthat we salt butter
to keep it, and perhaps in certain
ways it might be true, but the fact is,
salt has no keeping qualities in pure
butter. If salt kept butter then you
would find some well kept butter in
the market, but the fact is, the very
poorest butter has about two ounces
to one ounce of salt, which salt is put
in to cover up the poor flavor. 1t is
given a salt taste, which detraets from
the flavor of the butter. All you can
do for keeping butter is to cover each
little globule with film of salt.
