Gently saw in the advertisement of patent
medicine a testimonial signed by her father
whom she had not seen or heard Of since sbe
was a small girl. His address was little
town in Indiana. She wrote TO him asking
him to come 10 Delaware and he replied he
would do 40, and that on his arrival at stock
Icy, Friday, she would know him by the fact
that he would carry n cane and red hand
kerchief in his hand. The man with the cane
and red handkerchief arrived at the appointed
time, and Mrs. Sorden and her father had an
affecting reunion.

The Best Thing to Do Is to Accept the
Situation.
Crossing the town the other day in
haste to catch a train, writes Margaret
E. Sangster in Harper's Round Table,
the horse car was three times blocked
by great vans which stood upon the
track The van drivers appeared to be
unloading their goods in a very leisure
ly manner; to US in the car, with the
precious moments slipping away like
grains of sand In the hour glass, they
seemed exceedingly slow and unhur-
ried. looked about on my fellow pas
sengers. Some had flushed and angry
faces, some could not sit still, but
tapped the floor with their feet and ut
tered exclamations and looked at their
watches. One or two stepped out with
their bags and walked hastily onward.
But a dear old lady in the corner of the
car was a pattern of sweetness and
anafability, and 1 heard her observe to
her neighbor: I'VE will probably lose
our train, but at this time of the day
there are trains every half hour, and
it's never well to be put out by little in
cidents of this Sort She had the right
philosophy
Through life, when little things go
wrong, it will be wise to accept the sit
uation without fretting, and by main
tanning composure you will often be
able TO set them right again.

BEER-DRINKING HORSE.
He Wants Something Regularly Every
Morning, and He Gets 1t.

He Wants Something Regularly Every
Morning, and He Gets It.
There's an old dapple-gray horse that
pulls a milk wagon along Center ave-
nue. about Z o'clock every morning.
There is nothing attractive about the
animal but he has one remarkable pc
culiarity. He drinks beer. He is not
a drunkard by any means, and he has
never been arrested for disorderly con-
duct. Just once a day he INDUCES in
the amber fluid, and he always takes
his morning cocktail at a certain sa-
loon. Each morning as the animal ap-
proaches a saloon near Sixth street and
Center avenue BiIly-that's his name
pricks up his ears and trots at faster
gait. It's not necessary to stop him,
for he wouldn't pass that saloon with
out his drink. AS soon as his master
carries in the required amount of milk
he returns with a good-sized tin pail
filed with beer, and if he does not come
fast enough Billy gets up on the side
walk and paws the ground in his i'm
patience. When BiIly's bride is re-
moved he losses off his cocktail with
out splitting drop. Then he is ready
for business and doesn't expect another
drink until the next morning. "One
day Bits master remarked, II was in
a great hurry and forgot to get Billy
his beer When 1 got into the wagon
Billy wouldn't move and he commenced
to raise the greatest fuss imaginable.
How did he learn to drink beer? Well,
one day ! gave him some just for fun.
He seemed to like it and the next morn
ing he looked for it. He got the habit
you know. Get ep, Billp'

rlcKinley IN Rusiness r1en.

1t has been said concerning Major
Mckinley that, as an orator, he is un-
able to speak with success on any sub
ject other than the tariff. If true, this
assertion would involve no disgrace,
since to acquire his mastery Of that in
tricate and difficult subject would be an
ample achievement for any man.
But II is not true; and the speech
by him which we reprint elsewhere in
this issue Of The Tribune shows con-
clusively that 1t Is not. We do not
remember ever to have read, from any
public official, better and more manly
statement Of the duties Of American
citizenship, and particularly, the duties
Of American business men toward pol
itics than is embodied in this address
of Ohios chief executive to representa-
tives OF the boards Of trade Of the
Buckeye state.
We recommend every reader Of these
lines to read and then re-read Gov
ernor McKinley's remarks upon these
pertinent and timely subjects. There
can be no better expression of wise
public policy than he has given in
them; and there are few other men in
public life in this country today from
whom such words could come with
equal propriety. William Mckinley can
speak them without blushing, for Will
lam Mckinley, whether in public or in
private life, is scrupulously honest,
candid and upright man. He is one of
the small number of public men of the
day whose characters are absolutely
without blemish or stain.

The rllcroblan Craze.

II will be noted with reference to the
exceedingly readable discussion Of the
microbe theory Of disease by DR.. Alex
ander Wilder, condensed on another
page from a paper in the Metaphysical
Magazine for June, that while he utter
ly rejects the accepted version Of the
morbific influences Of micro-organisms
upon the human system, he does not
dispute the existence Of the germs
themselves. He Is too shrewd for that,
since a negation on this point would
array against him all the microscopists
in the country.
DR.. Wilder may be over-skeptical in
doubling the possibility Of communi-
eating any disease by means of germ
popular ado over possibilities of con-
tamination In drinking water Is with
out justification. in fact, requires to be
better bulwarked by scientific evidence
than It Is in the article from which we
have quoted. But there will be little
gainsayal OF the fact that the germ
scare has been overdone. When science
can do no better service for mankind
than to draw frightful pictures of evil
consequences resident In the hitherto
satisfactory habit of kissing; and even
lays its irreverent finger Of warning on
the single communion cup. 1t strikes us
that some message of protest is quite
in order.
Its history II full Of proof that the
medical profession IL by no means i'm

mune from the contagion OF successive
scientific fads. Within a decade we
have seen mesmerism superseded by
incubation and that In turn crowded
into relative obscurity by a sporadic
prevalence OF fictitious reverence for
hypnotism and mental suggestion. 1t
is not outside the pale Of possibility
that inside of another decade new ad-
vances in the healing art will have
established the comparative harmless
ness Of the now dreaded microbe, and
will have demonstrated that the MI
crobe Is a result and not a cause Of
disease.
At any rate, the Doctors article is
worth thinking over.

Placing the Responsibility.

We do not know to what extent per-
sonal disappointment may have con-
tributed emphasis to the subjoined
comment in the Scranton Republican
Of yesterday; but we do know that the
sentiment Of It, 50 far as concerns
Governor Hastings, is utterly unjust:
Extravagance was the distinguishing
trait of the recent legislature. Offices
were multiplied. salaries increased and I'M
necessary expense piled on expense. The
executive who should have stood between
this extravagant body of law makers and
the treasury Of the state, scarcely lifted
hand TO prevent the willful waste Of the
peoples substance, and he too, must share
in the odium which attaches to those who
are responsible for the lo6ting of the pub
lie funds.
1t is not only not true that Governor
Hastings scarcely lifted a hand to
prevent the willful waste of the peo-
pies substance" but 1t is a slander so
easily refuted that we are amazed to
see 1t printed in newspaper assuming
to speak to and for any considerable
number Of Republicans. At the very
outset Of the recent legislative session.
in a message Of uncommon force and d.
rectness-a message which, at the time,
indeed, brought down upon its authors
head not little criticism among men,
bers Of the legislature, but which SUBJ
sequent events have thoroughly justi-
fled-the governor impressively warned
the lawmakers against the temptations
to extravaganza likely to arise because
Of the overwhelming magnitude Of the
partisan majority. Had the legisla-
ture obeyed his wise and president
counsel, there would today be no occa-
sion for any public Journal to criticize
the work of that body on the ground Of
extravaganza: and its failure to heed
It was circumstance against which
the governor was wholly powerless.
In every way becoming to the head of
a coordinate, but not constitutionally
a superior branch, Governor Hastings,
from the moment Of his Inauguration,
has striven to promote an economical
and efficient administration Of the COM
monwealth's affairs by the body
charged with originating the laws
which govern the administration. He
has not assumed to dictate to repre-
sentatives or senators. He has not Is
sued ukases to them, commanding them
to do thus and so, as has been the wont
Of certain politicians in times past
But in a suitable manner he has both
counseled and worked for prudence and
moderation In the expenditure Of 'the
peoples substance" and If, in certain
details, his efforts have proved fruit
less. the responsibility plainly rests. not
with him, but with the legislature.
Fair play for Governor Hastings,
even II he did not make terms with the
