Every day the Healer" made con-
verts, and men who had decried him
as an impostor publicly apologized for
their unbelief and unkind remarks.
The Healer" began yielding to the
pleadings of some of the most wealthy
citizens, who desired him to go to their
homes, until, when it became general
ly known he would go when asked, he
has been the guest of some of the most
prominent citizens of Albuquerque.
All admit there is something remark
able about the man; all admire him for
his honesty of purpose and endeavor,
and all admit he is doing mnch good.
Many of the leading people of the
city are among his patients, and the
result of their treatment is being
watched by the entire city. One
prominent and wealthy citizen has
promised to build Schlader a church if
his wife be cured of an affection.
UNsPoILED BY POPULARITY.
In spite of the laudation given him,
in spite of the fact that he is eagerly
sought by the rich and influential,
Schlader's manner has not changed in
the least. He treats all alike, and
seems not to know or see the persons
he grasps by the hands.
The fame. notoriety, what you will.
of the Healer" has spread oyer the
entire country. The newspapers, the
banks, the telegraph office, the Post
office and private citizens by the score
are daily in receipt of letters from all
parts of the country asking about him.
To-day he is the idol of large part
of the population of this district.
Whether he will continue 50 remains
to be seen.

Napoleon and the Barber.

Napoleon's smooth face was a sure
evidence of his dislike for beard. In
some anecdotes of the Russian cam
paign there is story told of the great
Emperor and poor but witty barber,
who had occasion to shave him.
Napoleon had made rather lengthy
detour from the line of march with a
detachment of officers. Arriving at a
small village they refreshed themselves
with good meal and baths. Napo-
leon, wishing to be shaved. the village
barber was called in. While the poor
fellow strapped his razor and passed it
industriously over the great Emperor's
chin, he remained silent and seemingly
melancholy, although performing his
work with amazing rapidity and
smoothness. When he had finished,
Napoleon complimented him, remark
ing, But, man. why do you wear such
a melancholy face? You should be
happy to have the privilege of shaving
an Emperor"
II AIN doubly happy, your Majesty
"Then what is it that troubles you?
ALAS, your Majesty, when think OF
the Kings upon Kings and Emperors
that have died without knowing what
it was to be shaved by me, 1 am sad
and melancholy. "-Harper's Round
Table.

Politics as a Career.
From Harper's Weekly.

In the recent transfer of power in
England from the Liberals to tn
Unlon1sts no one feature is more strik-
ing in its contrast with American
methods than the steadiness of politi-
cal careers. 1t is Salisbury's third cab
met which succeeds Gladstone's fourth
cabinet. To us, to whom the idea of a
third term" is odious, such continuity
of power is almost incredible. In Eng
llsh politics, on the other hand, per
maDency of leadership is the test of
successful leadership, and, whether in
power or in opposition. the leaders hold
their places, and grow and gain in au-
thority.
In the new cabinet, for instance,
there is not a man who has not been
tried in official life and responsibility.
Most of them have been in politics since
their early manhood. Even the yonng-
Or men. who begin their ministerial
careers in subordinate positions, are
what we should call political veterans.
Such thing as putting new and un-
tried man in responsible cabinet posi-
ton would not be thought Of Tie
English can do these things because a
statesman of eminent ability can gen
orally find constituency to send him
to Parliament. All Britain is the dis
trict OF any member of Parliament, and
10 Englishman of cabinet calibre need
he relegated to private life by the pea
nut politics of his immediate locality.
1t is hardly worth while emphasizing
the contrast in this country. Here two
successive and opposing tidal waves"
have swept from the face of politics
nearly every prominent member of
Congress on both sides of the House.
No one can argue that such destruc-
tion of all the gains of political expert
ence can be beneficial. Our politics
cannot be better managed under sys-
TEN which ends political careers just
when they are most valuable But the
sentiment of local pride is strong
enough to prevent our country from
getting the benefit of any statesman
ship that is not bounded by the dis
trict limits.

The fact that pig iron is now being
shipped all the way from Ohio to Liver
pool, not by the ton, but by the cargo,
shows plainly enough to all, except
those whose eyes are blinded by igno-
rance or by self-interest, that iron is
made in the United States at less cost
than in England. as, otherwise, the
freight alone on America iron would
prohibit its sale there. And yet there
are Americans who say the tariff on
iron is laid for the sole benefit of labor,
and, what's more, there are thousands
of people ignorant enough to believe

MYCHILDHOOD,S HOME.

A picture OF my childhOOd's home,
The quaint old house upon fhe hill
The aged oak that overhung.
Its balcony so high and wide;
The locust. with its blossoms white;
The cedars, shading every side.
Let roses DER the pathway lean;
Show me the lilies pale and SWEEP,
That grew about the little gate
Which led into the village street.

A row of bee hives on the grass;
AND let my well-lOved lilacS breathe
Their fragrance on the winds that pass.

And let me meath the lilacS stand,

The New Deal.

The MahonePopulist Convention at
Petersburg has done what was expected
and that was to propose bill with
more confusion and fraud in it than
they themselves suspected in the Wal
ton law. This whole business repre-
sents resuscitation of Malone coali-
ton and it had as well be understood
in its real character which is mere at
tempt to get ring of politicians into
power which they could not exercise
with honesty and ability. The pro-
posed reform bill took two hours in
the reading and has about a hundred
sections consisting mainly of legal
technicalities. 1t is not our purpose to
unjustly criticise the convention as its
members are Virginia citizens; but we
repeat the reform idea of the Times,
which is that the Walton law can be
amended if there is anything wrong in
it. This is the remedy and the long
drawn bill of the convention is abso-
lutely farcical. One of the sections is
a fair specimen of the whole contri-
vance, viz -
The persons named by this confer
ence, and who may be named as pro-
vided in the preceding section of this
plan of organization, shall be charged
with the organization of their respec-
tive counties and corporations, and the
immediate conduct of the canvass
therein, unless or until relieved of duty
by an improvised county or corpora
ton organization by the friends of the
proposed law adopted by this confer
ence. and in the event of such organi-
zation the same shall be promptly re-
ported to the State steering commit.

is the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount of money and the
complex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at some time or another, conceives
an idea, which, if patented. would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauce
pan, the collar button. the nut lock, the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that al
most everyone sees some way of Improving

bring the greatest returns to the author
The prize we offer will be paid at the end of
each month, whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent Office or not. Every
competitor must apply tor patent on his in
vention through us, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have n valu-
