The Position lin Society, Politics and Comn-
mercs OF the Prevaricasor.
For many years the wise men have in
sisted upon the Importance and beauty
OF truth. We read that all the glorious
and lovely productions Of the arts de-
pend upon the truth as upon q solid and
enduring foundation. We read that
poetry and beauty rest upon the con
genial substance OF truth as q statue
upon its pedestal. But the man has not
as yet arisen who has given the other
side Of the question justice or yielded due
praise to the efforts and worth of liars.
We respect and revere the truth. We
adhere to it in theory and in practice-a
thing rare in the adherents Of mere
opinions-but we believe in justice
though the heavens fall, and in all the
good, old fashioned axioms. In all
truth, however, to speak paradoxically,
the liar, as an element of practical adj
vancement has been too long ignored.
Il is time that the pen and the brush
should do him homage.
Who sets the great enterprises afloat?
Who is the originator of vast invest
ments and the instigator of magnificent
projects?
The liar.
Who is it that floats the bonds, dis
counts corporations and consultations?
Who is it that has settled the wild
lands of the west and made Uncle Sam
no longer a freeholder?
The liar.
Who is it that originates ,"booms" and
distributes capital from the unwary to
the wise?
Who is it that makes wildcat mines
successful and sets a prize upon human
ingenuity?
Who is it that gives the impulse to pol
itics and the trend to political economyl
The liar.
The liar has as many guises as Porteus.
Anon he wishes to make your fortune,
and again he wants to borrow a dollar.
But he is always pleasant, affable,
agreeable, whether engaged in the solic.
iting of millions in world stirring plans
or in attempting to ecure q free lunch.
The truthful man will affront you with
rude candor and hold up your faults
brutality to your notice. But the liar
he will do nothing of the sort. He will
make you comfortable and happy. He
win put You at peace with the world and
with destiny.

or in the show business, whether he ii

This ruler is currently imagined to al
low his ministers to do all his work,
while he himself lives q life of luxurious
Incidence. The-very everse is the rule.
The one man in all the Turkish domin-
ions who works morning, noon and
night, whose mind never rests from eff
fort to carry his people through the diff
iculties which beset bad system and
lack of means, is the monarch. The min
listers work little, the sultan necessarily.
Not only is this well known, but an init
mate of mine is an aid-de-camp in daily
attendance upon his majesty, and my
ideas !gleaned from him have given me q
hearty respect for the personality of the
present bearer of the crescent.
Since his accession he has scarcely left
his palace. Here he labors with honest
fidelity to effect the impossible, for the
bad Turkish customs are like the laws of
the Medes and Persians. The system is
as rotten as the people are hard to teach.
Moreover, the sultan is the simplest and
most plainly dressed man in his domin-
ions. The unpretentious courtesy of his
personal bearing. his apparent lack of
egotism, his rather pale, nervous, IA
tigued looking face, are dignity itself.
/ have never seen a more patriarchal
ceremony or one of higher tone than the
quiet procession of Selamlik. -Harper's

rhirty-three Year. without Food.

AS@A0 sAU - D~0s Wit.
A queer story, and one which readers
would do well to thoroughly salt (give
it more than the proverbial grain) before
swallowing, comes with first class rec
ommendation all the way from Eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in 1850, a
member of the Chaplin family died at
Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was laid In
the family tomb. This particular Chap
lin was a naturalist, and among his
other pets had a large gray bat. That
bat was permitted to enter the tomband
was sealed up alive along with the corpse
OF his dead master. In 1865 the vault
was opened, and to the surprise of all
the bat was alive and fat. On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chaplins have
looked after the welfare of their dead
relatives pet, and each time 1t has been
reported that the bat was still in the
land Of the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was last
seen in 1S92.-St. Louis Republic.

A Practical Throw Out.

In a first class carriage in Germany
an Englishman was observed to be con-
stantly putting his head out of the win
dow. The train was going fast, and a
sudden gust of wind blew off his hat.
He at once took down his hat box and
hurled it after his hat. Then he sat
down and smiled on his fellow pas
rengers, but, of course, did not speak.
The Germans reared with laughter, and
one Of them exclaimed:
"You do not expect your hat box to
bring back your hat, do your
Il do" said the. Englishman. "Nc
name IN the hat--fnll name and hotel
address ON the box. They'll be found
together, and shall get both. Do yor

said they always had considered tbs

Watertown Public Opinion, 2: The
Death Of Judge Bennett creates a va
cancy in the supreme court which the
governor will be called upon to till.
Who the lucky man may be is a con-
undrum. Sherwood of Clark might do,
but his appointment might possibly in
terfere with Frank Conklin's candidacy
for railroad commissioner next fall, and
Frank has a pretty strong pull with the
governor. And then Senator P~ettigrew
will doubtless be consulted, and the
senator has a warm spot for Judge Fuller
besides, Judge Fuller's appointment
would afford an opportunity for elevat-
ing another man to Fuller's present
bench; and it might, too, be a swipe at
Congressman Picker who possibly may
be a sort of a thorn in the senator's flesh.
But these things are mere suggestions of
certain maybes.

A GHOST aNGs THE BELL
h Woman In white Who Is Startling nj
Arkansas Community.

rho Woman In White Who Is Startling an
Arkansas Community.
In the village of Lincolntown, which
Is settled principally by negroes, and
which lies eight or nine miles south OF
this place. there Is a little church. sur
rounding which is a mystery that Is
greatly perplexing and worrying the
community.
Every night there is to be seen in the
belfry of the edifice a woman in white,
who rings the bell three times in the
most solemn fashion and who then dis
appears. How the woman gets there il
what is ~puzzling the good people Of
Lincolntown. for the only approach to
the belfry Is a stairway to which en-
trance is gained by a single door. and
not only is this door guarded every
night since the commencement OF the
mysterious tolling, but the staircase is
watched by 200 or 300 eyes, and at dark
the belfry itself is watched and thor
oughly searched and is found to be en-
TREY empty. Besides, the belfry is only
large enough to hold the bell itself. and
when thst 70 !. motion there is no foot
ing for a person.
The rope that is ordinarily employed
In ringing the bell hangs all the time in
plain view Of the crowd and is perfectly
motionless. The woman is also dis
tinctly visible. but whether white or
black it is impossible to tell. Even IL
the figure itself was a Pigment Of the inn
agination, the ringing Of the bell is not,
as that is to be Enthusiastically heard for
quarter of amile. The negroes are much
excited over the matter and say that it IL
aportent of i'll to the race. Asst to the iden-
tity of the ghost, it il generally believed
that it Is the restless spirit Of q woman
named Jonelle Lambkin, who, on 40
count Of some misdemeanor charged
against her, was put ont Of the church
here in spite Of her continued reiteration
Of her innocence. Jonelle died about
two months ago, alleging with her dying
breath that she was q wrongfully ace
.cused woman and that the community
would ultimately receive proof OF this.--

Feather Trimming.

The great controversy over the wear
ing of feathers is eveloping considerable
heat. There is NO ~appreciable effect yet
of the pleas on behalf Of the bright
plumaged birds. The hat boxes Of the
Princess Of Wales have just been peeped
into, and what was seen there may have
an important influence on a large num-
Der. On tho hats recently made for the
princess and her daughters there are
many feathers. but we are told there are
none except from birds which are used
for human food. Most of the hats are OF
the half Alpine shape, now coming into
fashion. One Of the neatest contained
black cocks tail feathers. A little color
has been introduced, showing that the
princess is bringing her mourning to a
close.-London Correspondent.

Redteld Journal: May OF our read
ers know that Mr. III. B. Lathrop has
given much intelligent care to sheep
growing, for a number OF years. He has
bred up his flock at considerable cost
and felt anxious to learn whether it paid.
Last year he sent his wool to a commits
sion merchant, but this year he sent it
to a securing mill. He has learned by
the experiment that his shrinkage Is 6
to s per cent less than last year and he
has gained one grade on his wool. In a
letter Mr.. Hastings, proprietor Of the
souring mill says: "If fine delaine is
worth IA cents to day, medium delaine,
or combing, which your wool is, worth
2 cents / simply quote these fig

An Inter Ocean special from Battle
Creek, Mich, of the LIST inst. says: The
Adventists here firmly believe that the
last days have come, ard that in a short
time this world will be no more. They
believe that the prophecy is daily being
filed. A watch meeting was held last
night to raise money to educate the
heather and convert the unsaved. Over
three thousand people attended the
meeting. The elders called upon those
present to donate what they could OF
their worldly goods to assist in the con-
version OF the unsaved. Seventy-nine
gold watches were given, i've a hundred
rings and other iewelry. One man gave
his house and lot valued at $1,000. In
all over $4,000 was raised for the cause.
The elders have advised those OF the
members that can to sell out and go into
the world to preach the Adventist doc.
trine. Some twenty OF the adherents oil
the faith have already sold their homes
at a sacrifice and have left for differen,
parts OF the country to preach the doc
vrine OF the Adventists.

The democratic members OF the ways
and means committee OF congress have
decided to report a bill for levying a tax
OF 2 per cent on individual incomes over
1900 and against the net incomes OF
corporations. IL was also decided in
connection with this to increase the
whisky tx 10 cents per gallon, that is,
from 90 cents to 81 to be levied against
whisky in as we'll rs out OF bond. Upon
the representation that this increase
would work undue hardship to the
owners OF whisky 10 bond, it was decided
to extend the the bonded period from
three TO eight years. The tax on playing
cards, at one time fixed at 6 cents per
pack, was reduced to 2 cents, and the
contemplated tax on perfumes and cos
metics was discarded. No increase was
made in the tax on cigars, but the in.
crease on cigarettes, 81 per 1000, was
allowed to stand.
The committee estimates that the tax
on the incomes from corporations and
individuals Corporations being treated
as ind:viiuals)zwill raise s30,O00,0O0 rev.
enue-sl2,000,0o0 from corporations and
$18,000,000 from individuals. The in
crease in the whisky tax, it is estimated
will give an additional evenue OF S10,.
100000 per annum. The proposed tax
on ~inheritances, which was to be levied
in case the proposition for an individual
income tax failed, vas not deemed neces-
sary.
