UNCLE DICK oeLEsBY.
Two Characteristic Stories Of the Genial
Ex-Governor OF Illinois.

Two Characteristic Stories OF the Genia
Ex-Governor of Illinois.
I think it was during the Cleveland
Blaine campaign that ex-Governol
Oglesby of Illinois, 'euncle Dick" as
he is famiharly known, first made stay
of any length in New York
he and companion had a sumptuous
luncheon, ordered of course by the intro.
ducer. who wound up by inviting the
governor to smoke. The clerk at the ci-
gar counter handed ont some fine Havana
cigars Uncle Dick was about to take
one, when some thought arrested his
hand, and he asked:
Whats the price of these?''
Twenty y-fiye cents" was the reply.
Holy smoke" CALCULATED the govern

said his friend
"Daren't do It'll Daren't do it'll Put

"Yes, but governor

man, if they should ever find out in Il
hnois that l smoked a 25 cent cigar in
New York, they'd turn me out Of the
church, and it would ruin me politically
forever. Daren't do It'll Ten cent cigars
are good enough for me in New York
and 5 centers at home. "
Uncle Dick always prided himself on
his success In campaigning when called
upon to reach mans vote through his
family pride.
On one of his tours he passed through
q country town in Illinois, when he
came suddenly upon charming group
"a comely woman with bevy of little
ones about her--in garden with high
picket fence in front of it He stopped
short, then advanced and leaned over
the front gate.
Madam" said he in his most in
gratiating way, may kiss these beau
tiful children?'
Certainly, SIR" the lady answered
demurely, there is no possible obiec-
ton"
They are lovely darlings, = said Un-
Gle LICK, after he had finished the elev-
enth. 81 have seldom seen more beauti-
ful babies. Are they all yours, marmf"
The lady blushed deeply
"Of course they are-the sweet little
treasures. From whom else, marm, could
they have inherited these impid eyes,
these rosy cheeks, these profuse curls,
these comely figures and these musical
voices?''
The lady continued blushing.
"By the way, marm," said Uncle
Dick, "may bother you to tell your
estimable husband that Richard ].
Oglesby, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, called upon him this evening?'
ALAS, sir, = quoth the lady, II have
no husband
but these children, madam-you
surely are not widow"
II fear you were mistaken, sir, when
you first came up. These are not my
children. This is an orphan asylum i'--

Doctors or No Doctors.

Take haphazard number of people
Of both sexes and Of all ages. Divide
them into communities. Let the doc
tors Of each nation have community to
themselves--this division would be in
dispensable because the difference which
exists between the treatment prescribed,
say, by French and by an English doc
tor, has to be experienced to be believed.
Let the allopathists, the homeopathists,
the hydropathists, the thousand and
one sets Of medical faddists, all have q
community Of their own. Give the nos
trurn mongers free hands. Suffer the
faith healers to work, unimpeded, some
where, their own sweet will, and amid
the whole number Of the communities
permit one to be set apart in which no
doctor Of any sort or kind, regular or
irregular, shall be allowed to place
foot or have voice. If such test were
feasible, Iwonder what the result would
be. Or, rather, / do not wonder-I

From the Enterprise, Oregon City, orI
A representative'of the Oregon City
Enterprise visited Mr.. A. N. Tompkins,
the well-known carpenter. and builder,
of Oregon City, and finding him hard
at work, askedi if he was the man who
had been ill of rheumatism. Receiv-
ing an affirmative answer, the reporter
asked if he would have any objections
to making statement of his case, how
he was cured, ETC., for the benefit of
the public.
mo objections at all" said Mr..
Tompkins II have suffered with lum-
bago for years, having bad spells off
and on. Sometimes it would lay me
up entirely. Whenever / did any

hearing her complain of rheumatism,
gave her the balance.
Now, have worked right along.

fact that have heavy cold just now,
