THE SMYRNA TIMES.

Short, Sharp and Snappy.

There are several States that would like
to furnish free pasturage for those Con-
gressmeE who claim that the Russian
thistle is good prOvender for mules.
If successful first blow be half the
fight, as many contend, Japan must have
at least nine-tenths of the fight with China.
=
Another expedition started for the north
pole the other day, from Russia. In the
near future regular summer excursions to
the Arctic regions may be established by
syndicate of brainless millionaires.
So
Should President Cleveland and Sena-
tor German consent to appear together in
'living pictures" which of them could
best personate JOve, throwing the lightning
bOlts2 and which Ajax, defying them.
It is really a pity that treaties with China
and Japan make it crime for an American
to enlist in the army or navy of either.
When a mans soul is so full of martial
ardor as to wish to enlist and fight under
the banner of foreign country he should
be allowed to do it. Nothing else would
destroy his ardor so quickly.
Perhaps after all Big Tom Reed cares
not who is President so long as he makes
the Jokes and comic cartoons for Congress.
There's a time for everything, except
to strike" is the motto that Mr.. Debs has
selected for his future guidance. There
are doubtless many who wish he had made
the selection sooner.
Doubtless Mr.. Pullman would be equally
as glad to sell his sleeping-car business to
the railroads as the Western Union Tele-
graph Company would be to sell its lines
to Uncle Sam, provided, of course, that
| the purchase be made on the basis of the
watered stock.

One Live Man, Two COfins, and a
Voice.

An express agent running between
Topeka and Smith Centre had a thrill
ing experience one night short time
ago.
The night was dark and cloudy, and
the train was going about forty-five
miles an hour. The agent had locked
himself in his car, and was preparing
to check up the bundles. He was not
long in noticing that two long boxes,
containing collins, were among the
other express matter checked for Man
haitian. All was still in the car ex-
cept the rumbling of the wheels and
the sOughing of the wind. 1t was only
natural, therefore, that the agent should
jump about six feet into the air on
hearing voice apparently in one of
the coffins, say, Let meoutI"
The express agent drew his revolver,
prepared for anything, and inquired:
"Where are you ?"
LET me out !"
"Well, where are yOu?"
"Let me out" was all the answer he
could get in tone like a voice from
the tomb.
The express agent was not super
SIltlOus, out ne was, by this time, thOr-
oughly alarmed He unlocked the
rear door of the car and summoned the
conductor, brakeman, and pOrters. 1t
was his intention to open the caskets,
if necessary, and comply with the re-
quest of the mysterious voice. One
coffin was placed at one end Of the car
and the other coffin at the other end.
Then the express agent inquired:
where are you now ?"
Let me out ~ said the voice, not
from either coffin but from pile of
miscellaneous express matter where
they had been. Stealthily and with
grave fears of the result the crew be-
gan further investigation expecting to
find anything from a highwayman to a
wild man. They did not find either,
however, but down toward the bottom
of the pile they located the voice-it
was that of parrot. Topeka Journal

The mountain has lately been
strangely transformed. The crest Of

is believed by those most competent
to Judge, but great masses of
rock seem to have fallen

of the mountain IS evident from the

Are about as palatable to the
American tongue as ''shacknasty'
furniture is to- the eye. ct there
are many people who will use both.
To dispute concerning the variety OF
tastes is as idle a. the attempt to float
a painted ship upon a painted
ocean" Yet, singularly enough,
even in this day Of advanced thought,
there are people who have discover
ed that cheapness il not the sole merit
OF the furniture they buy. They
have found by experience that they
can not get something for nothing,
although they have demonstrated to
themselves, time and again, also by
experience. that they have bought at
good round figures nothing for some
thing. To avoid painful and indeed
sometimes humiliatlng exhibitions Of
this sort confine your purchases OF
furniture. at least. to such stores as
ours, where a proper pride is taken
to sell only the best grade of substan-
tial furniture Every year, during
she four years we have beef in the
furniture trade has witnessed
growth and development IN our bust
ness which, considering the "hard
times this period includes, is little
short Of DheDomen and is to he at
tributed 70 new business methods and
an abiding faith that this community
was tired Of the trashy furniture that,
previous to our advent in the trade
ia this city, was the only kind
brought here; that this city would
give instant recognition to our efforts
to provide its people with a stock Of
furniture that would be creditable
alike to the city and propriet0rs, and
woIld furtherm0re be a credit to
cities much larger than our own.
Increasingly and undertaking we
have adhered to this business idea
until people now recognize the fact
that they can get not only the best
grade of low priced and medium
priced furniture. but can see aud buy
as good furniture as the best markets
or this country afford Pursuing
this line of thought, we have been
compelled TO enlarge our business by
using the storero0ms, 617-619 Quincy
street, where we display our finest
furniture. We now occupy more
floor space aud carry twice as large
a stock as any two combined stocks
in this state We attribute our
growth TO filling this community's
demand for a hrstelass furniture
store.

He Visits Pittsburg and Addresses his
Brethren There.
PITTsBURG, Nov 21.-Herr Johann
Most made an address here last night in
hall packed witk anarchists. most Of
whom we're foroigners- Most's remarks
were quite tame. He said:
Liberty was stolen from man. Years
ago he was a gregarious animal, and
raised himself above the animal
world. In this way he lived for
thousands Of years, before authority
came. Quarrels arose, chiefs Of
tribes came up, kings, emperors, sultans
followed When it was sought to de-
prive these of their authority centuries
and many centuries elapsed before des-
potism gave way TO constitutional mon
archy and last of all to republics. And
now, even in republics, the authorities
lay claim to more than is their due, and
we think it is time, also, TO abolish these.
They try to remedy the bad state of
affairs by PopuIism, social Democracy
change of the ballot system,
the referendum. To rid our
selves of authority we must continue on
our way, and we must at last say: Away
with despOtism; away with kings and
emperors; away with all authority. 1t is
not meet that freeman be ruled by any
body"
Abstract anarchy is the kind that Most
wants. "Why," said he, pullman, Car
negie, the car OF Russia are perhaps
anarchists in the abstract, because they
viii bear no one over them. But their
anarchy has no regard for the rights Of
others -
