CHERRYvALE. Sep. 21.-The Populists of
the Third congressional district nominated
Hon. Thomas Jefferson Hudson, resigned.
The nomination is considered q great mis-
take by quite good many leading MEM
bers of the party who thought il would be
much better politics TO nominate Hon.
John Eaton, OF Winfield, who could poll
the Democratic vote.
Many of the politicians of the district
look upon Botkin as a Jonah-a political
adventurer who was in no way entitled to
the nomination. They even say that he is
not a resident of the district, and that his
family are still residents OF Jerry Slmp-
sons district.
He will be showed under worse than any
other man that could he nominated His
district contains large number Of labor
ing people who are not in harmony with
the extreme and radical prohibition views
of Botkin. Then, again. the fact that
BotkIn's own brother lives in the district
and is against him will cut quite figure
In the campaign.
There is only one thing IN his favor and
that is he is not sacrificing any business
interests by accepting the nomination.
having been out of job since he was
elected from the Methodist pulpit at
Wellington few weeks ago on account of
his leaning more towards the teachings OF
Herr Host than those of the Master. Be
ing practically fired from the ministry he
became a martyr and was imported over
here and provided for in this was by Gov
ernor Lewelling. who wants him to catch
the Methodist votes for the ticket.

Thieves Who Are Welcome,

"What do you do with kleptomaniacs,
was the question recently put to the pro-
prietor of large shop.
I'VE send them bills for what they take
when we know them. If they are stran-
gers, we act according to circumstances.
A few days ago a lady was in the shop
with her daughter beautiful little girl
of II years. The girl was seen slipping q
roll of costly ribbon into her satchel We
spoke TO the mother, who became indig
nant. She opened the satchel to convince
us that we were mistaken, when it was
found TO contain three lace handkerchiefs,
two pairs of gloves and the ribbon. All
these articles had been appropriated.
THAT was a plain case of stealing
What did You do:"
well, we took the things back and said
nothing. We can't afford TO arrest wealthy
people and injure our trade by making
enemies among our rich customers.
You were speaking Of sending out bills
for stolen goods. Are they ever paid'"
Always where the person is klepto-
maniac We never have any trouble In
that way. i have known of shops which
kept a regular list of kleptomaniacs.
Whenever they lost anything. they sent
bills to all of them. AS they all settled for
the stolen goods, you can imagine that
the business was a profitable one, can't
you?"-London Tit-Bits.

Pulpit and Stage Should Cooperate.

On the part of the clergy there is vast
difference of opinion regarding the stage,
its representations and its representatives.
Owing to the numerous scandals so freely
circulated through the daily press regard
ing actors and actresses and the highly
sensational and wicked features that claim
the public's purse and attention, any pref
udice that religion may have against the
stage is only too well grounded Yet,
withal, there is goodly number Of the
clergy who are firmly persuaded that the
stage is capable Of much good, that its in
fluence over the minds and hearts Of men
is q great influence, and that their duty Is
to enter into the spirit Of the upright and
honorable men and women whose life
work is on the stage to the purifying and
ennobling OF its associations. Laying
aside for the nonce all prejudices, and even
all well grounded opinions, let the ques-
ton be plainly asked whether ii Is the
part of wisdom for the pulpit 70 cooperate
with the stage or to antagonize IL. For
my own part, l am bold TO say that 10 CO.
operate is wiser and more beneficial. Rev.
