Sandow, the strong man, has met his
match in the little Miss Somebody who
has defied the strongest of men to lift
her from the floor. Sandow has lifted
$500 pounds, but he failed to lift this
little Georgia woman who only weighs
98 pounds, though he tugged and
strained his utmost. Wherein her
power lies she does not pretend to know,
but when she doesn't want to be lifted
all creation can't bulge her. 1t may be
simply case of phenomenal feminine
contrariety illustrating the old saying
concerning woman, that "when she will
she will, depend ont, and when she
won't she cont and that's the end
on't.''

SHORT SERMONS.

WORKING without plan is waste
of strength.
MEN are often gamers when they
lose their money.
IT costs less to be contented than it
does to be unhappy.
Too MANY people would rather have
glory than goodness.
IT is much easier to. be contented
without wealth than it is with it.
THERE are too many people who
don't know what giving means by ex-
perience.
A COUNTERFEIT is always proclaiming
at the top of its voice that there is a
genuine.
IT is a bad moral atmosphere where
vulgarity passes for wit and humor,
and men are entertained by it.-Ram's
Horn.

If the Arctic explorers do not get a
move on, and the railroad companies
keep up their aggressiveness the latter
will have railroad to the north pole
and use it for flag staff for their grand
central depot before the former discover
it. The latest railroad scheme is crowd
ing up towards the Arctic circle, and
with the coming of better times, the
road up the coast to Behring sea will
certainly be commenced. This would
make but 300 mile break in railroad
connection between London and New
York, and would only lack $500 miles of
encircling the globe.

M. Swan, French matchmaker, has
succeeded in arranging phonograph in
a watch go that upon pressing button
the watch calls out the time by such ex-
pressions as: ''It is eight O'Clock, - ''It
is half past four.' etc. The same in
Ventor has perfected an alarm clock that
yells out 'Get up" Wake up" and
keeps it up until the drowsy victim
crawls out of bed and stands it on its
head. 1t would be for all the world like
a lot of men under similar circumstances
to press the buttons on half dozen
watches at once and hear them get into
a dispute about the correct time, calling
each other liars to their faces, as it were.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer adyo-
Gates the raising of leaner breed of
hogs, and to accomplish this suggests
the crossing of breeds by procuring I'm
proved Yorkshire and Tamworth males.
These he says produce more limb and
side, and are in other words, lanky. If
this is the only object to be obtained
would not the crossing with the razor
back, the famous trotting pigs of Georgia
accomplish the same result? There is
said to be nothing of them but legs,
bristIes and tusks.

And now there is talk of still another
transcontinental railroad in the face of
the fact that none of those already
built are paying dividends, or interest
on the bonds. The new scheme, is to
be known as the British Pacific, will
start from Vancouver and will meet the
Manitoba & Northwestern on the sum-
NIT of the Rocky mountains. The lat
ter road is already built for one-fourth
of the distance from Duluth. It is said
the road will run through a very rich
prairie country, but what object there
is in building it at the present time at
least is lard to determine.

They had an election in Connecticut
the other day it being for the selection
of school clerks, but in its nature gen
eral. The result was what might reason
ably be expected, an overwhelming re-
publican vote. If it can be taken as an
indication of the political sentiment,
and we. see no reason why it should not
be, Connecticut will be bitter pill for
the democracy in November. It looks
now as though not a single state, north
of the Mason and Dixon's line would re-
main in the democratic camp.

A Far-Reaching Issue.

AS rule Eastern papers have dis
cussed the silver question as if it were
simply matter Of egulation-some-
thing like the imposition of 10 per
cent duty on tea and coffee. They
knew that silver was sixteen times as
cumbersome as gold, and they deducted
from this fact the conclusion that a cur
rency of gold was preferable to cur
rency of silver. 1t has been seldom, in.
deed, that an Eastern paper has gone
into the merits of the question. Their
talk has been about on a par with the
talk Of silver producers, who imagine
that the real question is if the mining
of silSer shall be made profitable. But
Brook Adams, a writer in the Boston
Globe has looked deeper into the prob
lem, Spd has discovered what the de-
monefzation of silver really means
Mr.. ADAMS says;
"Tih difficulty is self-evident. Any
thing which causes the alteration of the
ratio which the standard of value bears
to other property must inevitably con
tiscate the property Of one man for the
benefit of another. But sup
posing silver to 60 out of circulation
the supply of gold would he so much
less than the demand that its price
would rise relatively to other commodI-
ties, with the result of coniiscating the
property OF the debtor for the benefit of
the creditor; and it is this great fact,
and not the rapacity Of the rich silver
miners. which makes the bitterness and
the danger Of the present struggle. The
silver kings could be handled easily
enough, but it is the southern and
Western farmers who see the progress
i've shrinkage in the price OF bushel of
wheat and pound of cotton who are
desperate and who will be heard"
This is an argument that no gold ad-
vocates has attempted 70 answer. 1t is
not to be presumed that such men as
Sherman, Palmer, Lodge, Morrill, and
Hoar do not comprehend the inevitable
effect of monomeallism. In fact all
these men are bimetallists in theory,
but are opposed to any measure by
which bimetallisn may be secured.

Notice to Investors.

Ther, was never Il time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventiois and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the fa.tory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life,
require continual accessions to the ap-
purteIances and implements of each

ton OF ofgovernment does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being On the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies
Tougreat care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innum-
erable instances by the employment of
incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who

Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at immi-

In Alva Adams Banking System
That Will Prevent Panics," he says:
THE political field is seldom the are
ma where reason, logic and truth con-
tend for the mastery. 1t is more often
a hippodrome where abuse and mis-
representation, falsehood and sophistry
masquerade in the stolen armor Of
patriotism. AS the methods of modern
politics have earned this indictment, it
is no marvel that capital seeks the COM
pany of the bigot in the bottom of a
well, and that suspicion rules the
opinion of the people when parties
change and radical legislation is threat
ened.n
No truer words were ever spoken.
The modern political field is one of
treachery and corruption. Any man
who has had five years. experience in
politics will bear witness to this state
ment if hs will tell the truth.-Del Norte

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the
best equipped line; runs free chair cars,
buffet Pullmans, and gives you ample
time in Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO or DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close
connections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty min

see how many things they can get along

how much better of they would be if
they had found it out sooner. The

1t is a poor time to advocate railway
projects. Nevertheless, Denver people
should not lose sight of the scheme for
the construction of road to Salt Lake
City by way of Middle Park and either
the White or the Yampa River valley.
That road would be of enormous benefit,
not only to Denver but to the whole of
Northwestern Colorado also. 1t would
open up part of the State which has
no rail connection and the development
of which has been very slow on that ac-
count. 1t is a region of great natural
resources, particularly in respect to coal
and iron, and there is no doubt that the
proposed road would secure large local
traffic. 1t would also give Denver an
other connection with Salt Lake City
and cause an increased amount of over
land tratlice to pass through this place.
This enterprise should be taken up as
soon as business revives, and a strong
effort should be made to secure all the
capital needed.-Denver Republican.

is preparing to ignore the popular voice
and make use Of the army to maintain
himself in the presidency. This is practi.
cally the establishing of despotism.

fuses to promulgats laws and DEGREES

justly indignant at his high-handed course

form of government will not be permitted
to prove failure in Brazil.
