A COAT FOR A WORD. = A poor man
may possess a wit so fine that it is
capable of doing him a great deal of
service, and then wait long time be-
fore an opportunity comes for him to
exercise it profitably. This was the
case with an elderly tramp who was
once intrusted, for want/of better
messenger, with an errand to the Duke
of Bedford.
"Well, you're queer fellow!" said
the duke on seeing him. "What is
your name?"
"My name is Russell, your grace"
The duke laughed heartily, for his
own name was Russell.
"And how about your coat of arms?"
asked the duke. as that the same as
the Duke of Bedford's?''
"Ah, your grace" said the man,
"our arms may be much the same,
but fancy there's slight difference
in our coats!'
AS this fact was only too apparent,
the duke sent for good coat of his
own and gave it to the man.

Rev. Dr. Kidston, Scotch clergy
man, promised his son, six years of
age, a few apples from the garden as
soon as they were ripe, on condition
that the boy would let them alone
when they were green. His father,
when the apples were ripe, gave his
expectant son four of them. He look
ed very much disappointed, and re-
piled, "You promised me a few ap-
PIES" His father said, "Well, have
not given them unto your" ''No," said
the boy: ''you always tell us to try
everything by the Bible. Now, the
Bible tells us about Noah's ark where
in few = that is, eight : souls were
saved by water. You have given me
only four apples" The father smiled,
and gave the boy what the Bible
counted few,-eight apples.

How About the Clever Woman?

The clever woman! What is to be-
come of her? If you have the interests
of humanity at heart, you will try to
find out if there is any hope for her, for
they say she is multiplying every day at
such rate that her class will soon form
very large percentage of that human
ity you profess to study. For my part 1
feel very sorry for her. Not only has
she been called drug on the market
fancy being called drug!-but lot
of other bad names, and only a few
weeks ago the Professional Woman's
league passed a unanimous verdict on
her of 'unmarriageable!" They broke it
to her gently this way: tThe brainy
woman cannot marry a man mentally
her inferior - It is the illiterate man
who is in the position to marry. New

The extent which the human body
can be mutilated without causing
death is beyond what most people
think. Of course, the removal of the
largest limb is familiar fact, bnt the
successive removal of all the limbs
would in most cases result in nothing
worse than in convenience. In the
same way the internal organs way be
extirpated. This is facilitated by their
quality. One kidney may be removed
and the other will make up for the
loss by doing double work. One eye
may be taken out and the sight re-
mains practically unimpaired. Large
portions of the brain may be removed
with no injury to life or intellect. A
portion of the intestines has been cut
out and the ends sewed together, and
their normal action and function have
not been interfered with.

INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY.

There is a Chinese Proverb to the
effect that we should receive our
thoughts as guests and treat our de-
sires as children. This is admirable
advice If children are we'll ruled when
they are small they will not give us
trouble when they are large. So let
desires be taken in hand firmly and
promptly, or they will greatly
disturb our peace Of mind. 1t is
good plan to receive Hospitality not
only our own thoughts, but those of
other people. We shall find oftener
than we imagine that they will prove
angel visitants. An attitude of antag
anism toward every new suggestion
is much to be deprecated. The first
impulse of some is to contradict. At
least they harden their heart most un
conquerably against everything that
sounds strange. A chamber of the
mind should be kept where these
strangers can be taken in and lodged
a while if, on closer acquaintance,
they do not commend themselves by
their conduct, it will then be time to
civilly show them the door. But let
them not be turned away rudely at
the first and have no opportunity to
show what they are worth.

A pretty school mistress told rath

A pretty school mistress told rath-
er amusing story at the boarding
house. She asked one of her classes
to put the nouns 'boys," "bees" and
"bearsn into a sentence. The schol-
ars thought intently for a few mo-
ments, when one ragged youngster,
with a look of victory on his face,
raised his hand. "Wen, Johnny"
said the school teacher, "what is your
sentence?" "Boys bees bare when
they go in swimmin'. 1.-THE teacher
did not call on any more of her class.

KOSSuth'S Legacy.

An interesting puzzle in connection
with the recent death of Kossuth is, our
Vienna correspondent says, being circu-
lated at Buda-Pesth. The question is,
What did Kossuth bequeath to his two
sons? Answer-A life from 1902 until
1894. Add these years. The result is
che total heritage, which, divided equal
~ between them, gives 1848.-London

Two STRINGS TO ONES Bow. - An
honest peasant surprised an infidel
one day who was jeering at him for
believing the Bible, by the reply:
eve country people like to have
two strings to our bow"
"What do you mean?' inquired the
infidel.
"Only this" replied the poor man;
"that believing the Bible, and acting
up to it, is like having two strings to
ones bow, for if it is not true, I shall
be better man for living according
to it, and so it will be for my good in
this life.-That is one string to my
bow. And if it should be true, it will
be better for me in the next life. That
is another string, and pretty strong
one it is. But, sir, if you do not be-
lieve the Bible, and on that account
do not live as it requires, you have
but one string to your bow.-And, oh,
sir, if is tremendous threatenings
prove true-oh, think what then will
become of you'll"

If our Government owned the rail-
roads we could go to San Francisco
from Boston for so, Look at the
proof: Uncle Sam pays the railroads
not quite $50 to transport a loaded
postal car from Boston to San Fran
cisco. \ passenger car will carry fifty
passengers, which at SO each, would
be $500 or a clear profit Of S225 car
and this too. after having ). per cent.
on -watered stock. which is fully 100
per cent. on the the cost of the roads.
To show how our railroads have
watered their stock. l point to the New
York Central 4 Hudson River Rail-
road which. when the Nanderbilts OBJ
tanned control III 1869 was capitalized
at "a, oOo,0 600. They at once watered
it up TO S9o, oo0. 900. more water has
been added until the present capi al
stock is Sl4. 200. oo0-all but $40. 900,
coo being water.
Government ownership would save
the people the gigantic sum of 81 900,
| 600. 900 year ana bring shorter hours
and better pay to the 10000 railroad
employes.-TheA ltrurian.

Sympathy.

You poor, starving, shivering citi-
zens of America. you have the SYM
pathy of the rich who roll in splendor
because you nave labored. How the
monopolists do look down on you with
pity as they drive by i'll tandem. How
they shed tears at your hunger while
they clink glasses of champagne. How
they sadden for your rags as they
waltz in silks, fine linens and dla-
monds in the reception halls of pluto
cracy. Yes, they sympathize with
you-as does the lion with the lamb.
They gamble in your bread to build
palaces to cheaper its cost to you.
They gamble in meat and become MILL
ionaires to cheaper that to you. They
gamble in coal and make millions to
prevent You from freezing. They col
lect rent off of you to hel p you keep a
home. And YOU vote for them. You
vote the tickets they do. You vote
for parties that do their bidding. You
vote for policies they tell you to. Sym
pathy, did you say? Well, amt you
got enough of it? How would good
home, steady employment with the re-
tail price of what you produce do for a
change? Wouldn't that be better
than sympathy aud a dole of charity
soup? Then vote against the tickets
the monopolists vote. Read up and
he free or remain ignorant on politics
and be a slave.-Coming Nation.

Who Fixes the Prices.

The Philadelphia Record, a Cleve-
land humbug sheet. under the head Of
fooling the farmers, says:
The price OF wheat and cotton in our own
markets. is fixed by the price at which we can
sell the surplus in foreign markets Our
prices therefore, go up and down with the
quotations that serve to regulate demand in
the countries where we sell the over plus of
cotton and wheat that We cannot ourselves
consume. The widest advocates OF protec-
ton will not deny these facts. Yet they have
impudence and dishonesty TO assert on the
stump and even in the press that the low
prices Of wheat and cotton are the direct out
come of Democratic administration. hoping
thus to impose upon the farmers OF the cOun-
try and bes,uile them into the support of the
protect1Oni>t canddates
Yes. the American wheat exporter
must of course accept the price pre-
vailing in the country he ships to. A
seller mas little to do in the open MAR
ket IN fixing the price. unless 1t can be
done by combinations.
But what the American farmer is
kicking about. and he isn't fooling
either, is that this country permitted
English capitalists and gold gamblers
to come over here and dictate legisla-
tons that would enable England to
lower the prices of American prod
ucts. BY the characterization of silver
the English merchants are enabled to
procure cotton from India at SO low a
rate that the United States is about
out of that market altogether, as we
cannot compete with the cents day
labor of India.
The United States permits itself to
be used by foreign governments to
| bring about condition that ruins oul
production. The American cotton
producer does not expect to regulate
foreign markets. but he is entitled to
be treated squarely by his own govern
| ment.

Bay. Returning from his fishing
grounds, he is sandwiched between
two detectives, with five more lurking
along ahead or behind him or near
him. Arrived in New York, he en-
tiers a carriage accompanied by his de-
tectives, and thus secures himself
against any assault from DR.. Bryant,
whose guest he is for the day. He
rides in the park two hours, preceded
by detective, followed by detec-
tive, with detective seated beside
him. He rides from New York to
Washington with a detective seated
in front of them, another seated be-
hind him, to guard him and protect
him in the enjoyment CT his sacred Of
fetal life. The wonder is that his
body guard does not handcuff him SO
he will not get away, or thai he does
not handcutf his bulldogs to him SO
they cannot get beyond his touch.
What picture in tbs country! When
comes the time for Grover Cleveland
to change his condition through the
process called death, he will pass on
and no detectives can save him or
help him He will not die till his
time comes, and when it comes it will
come for fact he will pass on, leav-
ing his body behind him. The idea
that he will ever be killed by assassi-
nation is absurd. He has killed HIM
self, and assassins do not kill men al
ready dead. 1; is possible that these
detectives are to keep Hill from touch
ing him or to keep the poor people
from coming to him with their petit
tions for sympathy, if nothing more.

"I.andskides."

The Peoples party IS the only party
that increased its vote at the recent
election. The old parties conce,le
that the Populist vote of the 9th inst.
will reach the 1000, 900 mark, being
nearly double the vote it cast two
years ago.
In 1892 Cleveland received three
per cent. less of the total vote cast
than in 1888; vet, they called it Dem
ocratic landslide. Now in 1894 the
Republican party casts a smaller vote
than two years ago, and behold! a
Republican landslide!" The fact is.
the Peoples party, like the monkey in
the fable weighing the cats cheese,
takes big bite. first out of one party
and then out of the other, and Repub-
lican or Democratic stock goes up or
| down accordingly.
Meanwhile, old-party votes, like the
cats cheese, are fast going over to the
| party doing tue weighing. A few more
such "landslides" and there will be
nothing left of either old party but the
millionares and their plant tools-a
class which might in. the same connect
ion be appropriately termed the CID
cheese-rind. The next thing in order
is to send Populist to the White
House on Democratic Landslide.
The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1894-11-29
What DO the People Expect:

Why should the people rehabilitate
the Republican party?
Is there the remotest idea that the
Republican party changed?
Is it not the same old corrupt party
that went out out with Harrison?
If it was so corrupt rs to deserve de-
feat two years ago, why should it be
reinstated now?
If it spent billion dollars of the
peoples money in one year under Har-
rison, will it not do the same again?
Has it changed or done works mete
for repentance since it startled the
country by it's cora ption and frauds +?
Is the defeat of the Democrats by
the election of the Republicans not Il
change of parties without any change
of principles CIR politics?
How supremacy ridiculous it is for
the people to jump out of the frying
pan into the fire, to change from one
corrupt party to another equally cor
rupt?
Both of the old parties have been
condemned for their corruption and
debauchery of the public trust. Why
should the people not condemn both
and try new party?
If a business man should discharge
one employee because he had robbed
his safe and employ another who also
robbed him, would it be common sense
for the business man to discharge this
second man and employ again the first
one who robbed him?
That is precisely what the people
have done at the late election. They
discharged the Republicans in 1892 fol-
robbery and corruption, and in 1884
discharged the Democratic party fol
the same cause and employed the Re.
publican party again.
Are the American people q set Of
fools? Do the people understand what
! liberty means, or are they only fit &C
be slaves and serfs? Are the Ameri
can people capable of self-government
If 50, they have not SO declared by
their actions. Is - the political &C
ton of the American people the mos
! nonsensical and ridiculous that wa.
ever witnessed?
