LIN His Mire,s Name.

A story was told on the House
sidc relating to a certain Western
banker and politician, whose name
for good reasons, is not to be dis
closed. This man was prominent
for some time by reason of success
with which he dictated appoint
ments in his vicinity under the ad-
ministration. Reverses overlook
him and he disappeared as a politi-
cal factor. One day, short time
ago, he met an old friend of the
Presbyterian faith on the street.
"Hello, Brother Buster; how do
you fare2" said the good man.
81 am crushed by my reverses," !"
said the ex-politician, in a querulous
voice. "Everything is gone. All 1
have left, Brother Billings, is my
religion"
Brother Billing met an acquaint-
ance shortly after, and to him re-
lated the conversation he had had
with the late banker-poIitician.
"He says all he has left" related
the good man, sis his religion"
ellis religionl" exclaimed the
other in tone of irreyerence; "even
that's in his wife's name" - Wash.

the young man to make the other

No one in these doubtful looking
days should lose his faith in the fu-
ture. The rising problems and
their apparently slow settlement al
ways causes uncertainty and fore
boding, but the darkness yields at
last and brighter days dawn. We
should never for moment lose faith
in America or the old flag or the f.
nal triumph of humanity. Nations
abroad are looking on us expecting
every week to see us go to pieces.
They see the attacks on society and
property by the demagogues, COM
munists, grovelling, spendthrift leg
islatures, cheap money politicians,
and the oud-mouthed prejudice
against capital, and the next mo-
ment they expect TO see the Repub-
lie dissolve in blood, and the gov
ernment of the people in charge of
a man with q sword and legion of
solJiers-bebind bin. But they will
be disappointed. The old agrarian
issues, the ups and downs of social
life will be argued. and occasional
friction ersue, but out of it all will
come the welfare of mankind.
Here is the arena for the adjudica-
ton of the issues of the ages. The
monarchial idea will not finally
stifie the solution. People will
learn by pure argument and the
logic of events that economy, pru-
dence, Judgment, and all the virtues
that honest property represents are
to be maintained in behalf of society
and all the people, against commu-
nists, repudiators and demagogues.

Hon. G. W. Tippett, whose nom
ination for the House of Delegates
from Mason county we neglected
to notice sooner, has been for years
the able and successful editor of
that very popular and newsy paper,
the Point Pleasant Register. Sound
to the core upon every question af.
fecting Democratic principles, in
line with the policy of the present
House of Representatives, he is a
man of the people. in whose hands,
if elected, their rights will be faith
fully defended, and every interest
appertaining to the good of our
State will be carefully looked after.
A better selection could not be
made, and we hope to see him
triumphantly elected in November
next. w. G. Whaley, who is on the
ticket with Mr.. Tippett, is another
faithful and deserving Democrat,
and both should have seats in the
next House of Delegates.

Tho yearly salary of Ida Lewis,
the famous keeper of Lime Rock
lighthouse, at the south end of
Newport harbor, is $3.50 aud two
tons of coal. She is past fifty now,
her hair slightly streaked with
gray, and her face somewhat rug
ged and weather beaten but she is
still alert and strong, and can man
age her boat in the roughest wealth
er as quickly and well as when, at
sixteen, she began her wonderful
record of life-saving with the res
cue of four small boys whose boat
capsized in the harbor before her.
She is the only woman lighthouse
keeper in this country, and the
government does not intend to du-
plicate her or appoint successor
to her when her work is done,
but the department freely admits
that no light is cared for by any
other employ along the coast as
that of Lime Rock is looked after
by its woman keeper, Ida Lewis.

The San Francisco Chronicle OBJ
serves: Superstition seems to be still
strong in Missouri, for we find a
young lady in that state having a
maidstone applied to the wound
made by a rabjd dog. 1t may be
that thcre is some virtue in such a
stone, as there often is in the herbs
applied to wounds by Indian doctors,
but that the stone prevents hydro
phobia there is no proof. Perhaps
it's greatest service is that ittorti-
fies the patient and prevents that
fright which, more than anything
else, brings on hydrophobia.

Long trains of canvas covered
wagons pass daily through Platts-
mouth, Nebraska, eastward. They
belong to the army of settlers who
have been forced from their homes
in western Nebraska and Colorado
by the unprecedented drought.
Many have no particular destina-
tion in view. Their sole object is
to reech some locality east of the
Mississippi, where they can exc out
an existence until another season
has rolled around and escape the
hardships of a winter on the prairie.
Since June 10000 have left the
State. At PIattsmouth one day
last week 300 wagons were await
ing to cross the bridge. One man,
who had driven from Holyoke, COL,
said that along one stretch of road
he drove 80 miles, passing a farm
every half section, and it was only
at long intervals he found one oc-
cupied.

The farmers in Indiana, for the
first time in the history of the State,
are feeding their wheat to their
hogs and selling their corn. Wheat
brings 43 cents per bnshel when
delivered at the country station and
corn sells readily at from 40 to AZ
cents. The farmers say that one
bushel of wheat contains as much
nutriment as two bushels of corn,
and as hogs are bringing good pri-
ces and corn is higher than wheat
it is economy to use the latter for
feed and sell their corn.
