Fool Killer Wanted.

Some time ago wag set the story
afloat that the President had given a
sum of money to the parents of twins
and triplets. Since then letters of APP
plication have been pouring in at an
alarming rate. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 day could be distributed at the
rate of $500 to each applicant. The fol-
lowing sent by Texas man is sam
pie of the letters
''Mr. President Cleveland
Dear SRI see you are giving $500
for twins. Please send me 500 right
away for | am going to get married this
week to girl that is twin. L come
from twin getting stock, so you will
see that there is no risk to be run and
when my wife has twins | will draw
on you for the balance. | need the
money to start housekeeping with. l
have always been Democrat. | voted
for you the first time and will vote fol
you again aud name the twins after
you. Don't disappoint me for | may
hare to get married sooner"
In another case woman writes that
she has failed, after waiting year, tC
get that $500 the President is said to
give the parents of triplets, aud now
she is willing to compromise on the
basis of the money for the first pair OF
pants for her little Cleveland.

From the Woodstock, VT, Stand
ard.-It is, firstly, lastly and all the
time, bright, progressive, aggres-
sive and enterprising newspaper.
From the Swanton, VT, Courier
The Herald is a great paper for
Vermont town and we are all proud
of it.
From the Brattleboro, VT, Phn-
nix.-It is managed on broad and
generous lines, giving news service
which is notably complete and ex-
cellent in a provincial field.
From the Morrisville, VT, News.
The Herald is a live, progressive,
well edited paper. The fact that its
advertising rates are uniform and
that it is a "pay in advance" paper
may be, in part at least, the secret of
its reaching the century point.

DENIOREST'S.

There is sadness associating with
this mum Der of tho well-known family
magazine, as it bears as frontispiece
a picture of the founder of Demorest's,
w. Jennings Demorest, who died in
April. A beautiful "In Memoriam"
follows this, and there is also an article,
''The Great War of the Ninett enth
Century, that was written by him
Just before his death. Aside rom this,
however the magazine itself is as ric !.
in general reading matter as une could
anticipate. A study of pansics is the
colored piece, and there is an interest
ing article on "Some White House
Orchids" nineteen beautiful illustra-
lions of this famous plant being given.
One feature of merit is that in serial
story, entitled "Our Working Sisters, -
synopsis of previous chapters
is given, allowing one to become
acquainted with the outline of what
has gone before, aud so be able to take
up the story in any number. There
are the usual articles on what women
are doing, the worlds progress, the
fashions, home art and comforts, and
in fact this number of the magazine is
all that could be desired.

A Temperance Lesson.

Several days ago some young bloods
in "Sodom," a village in the adjoining
town Of Calais, purchased what they
supposed was alcohol for motive power
at dance. The liquor proved to be
wood alcohol, a very poisonous sub
stance. Six of them We're made
deathly sick by it's use, but they man
they gave Fred Weeks of that hamlet
a drink of the stuff '.just for fun" He
kept it on his stomach for 10 hours
with the result that he was rendered
unconscious and has since become
totally blind. He has lost the use of
both legs and his physician gives him
no encourag 9ment that his eyesight or
powers of locomotion will be restored.

The NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

lHE N EW ENGLAND MAGAZINE.
The June number comes to us with
its usual variety of readable matter
Perhaps this magazine finds genuine
and warmer welcome because of its
being devoted to that part of the coun-
try So dear to our hearts-New Eng
land. "A Famous Vermont Editor of
Hundred Years Ago" by Mason A.
Green is an interesting biographical
sketch of Rev. Samuel Williams,
LII. D, who retired from the ministry
in Rutland in 1894 and in few days
after his resignation the first edition of
the Rutland Herald was published-a
paper that thus celebrated its hum
dredth birthday last December. The
magazine also contains beautifully
illustrated article on "The Capital of
New Hampshiren by Frances M. Alb
bolt. This city of Concord has much
of historical interest, and its beautiful
buildings and Institutions are the pride
of not only New Hampshire but of all
! New England;St. Paul s school located
near there is known all over the country
and is the Oxford of America. This
article is most interesting to all &C
quainted with beautiful and historic
| Concord. There is also a well-written
paper on the "Roxbury Latin School,
an article on 'Sir William Pepperrell
and the Capture Of Louisburg," and
other meritorious writings by well
known authors, making an altogether
delightful volume for any and every
| library.

Among the Magazines.
ART AMATEUR.

To all interested in art in whatever
line, and especially to those who make
a speciality of oil and china painting,
this magazine is a treasure. For the
month of June it has a beautiful color
study of American Beauty roses and
also panel of butterflies that is as
natural as life. These two studies are
especially appropriate for the month of
June. Then there is for frontispiece
a rose photographed from nature. Many
more pictures that adorn famous gal.
leries and studios are also given. An
article on tapestry painting in oil colors
and also talks on embroidery are inter.
esting and instructive. The supple
ment contains nearly fifteen designs
that will be of great interest to all in
terested in art in whatever line. The
Art Amateur for June is thus fasci-
mating.

northwest is the weather. Last Thurs
day the thermometer registered over 80
degrees in many places and by Friday
morning it had dropped below the
freezing point and snow was reported
in Wyoming and Montana.

Adams Messenger was issued in st.

fire Is days previously. A complete
new outfit has been put in and the
Messenger has clean and improved
appearance. Here is to years of con-
tinued prosperity and influence. A
newspaper that suspends an issue
because of so small thing as fire,
doesn't deserve to live in this age OF
resources and activity. Let this be the
criterion and the Messenger has amply
demonstrated its fitness to live.

We are very tired of the eternal SWIVEL to
the effect that the cause of the union "cost
billions of treasure oceans of blood and
rivers of tears" and the charging it all up to
the "rebels." In point of fact the moral COW
ardice and political rascality of the north and
east, did more to fetch about the war than
the people of the south did. The ridiculous
bosh of charging the friction of humanity's
onward movement, to this and that petty
element of the family, we say, makes us too
tired to swear.-Chattanooga Times.
1t may be that this is true, for it is
more than probable that some of the
southern people have not recovered
from that tired feeling contracted from
| 81 to '65.

THE INoUISITIvE CLERK.
He Finds Customer Who Is Too
Much for Him.


The inquisitive clerk is everywhere and
everybody has had an experience with
him, says the st. Louis Post. One of the
genus was called down" in a remarka-
bly, funny manner in a West End drug
store this week. A tall, solemnlooking
man came in and asked for half dozen
siX-ounce bottles.
"Bottles?" asked the clerk.
Yes, bottles, responded the man.
with or without corks?" asked he.
with corks," was the response.
want 'em empty?"
'Cert ainly."
''And new?'
do you suppose I want bottles you've
been keeping strychnine in?''
The clerk said such an idea never en-
tered his mind, and then asked:
What do you want them for?''
ITO break" responded the impatient
customer, promptly.
''What?'
The customer beckoned him to lean over
the counter and caught hold of the lapel
of the clerks coat and whispered:
81 wouldn't want the neighbors to get
onto it, but | rather like to hear 'em
crack. Just a whim OF mine. It's better
than breaking windows and gives me just
as much pleasure, but my supply has
given out and | want few to hold me
over until the next carload arrives"
The clerk looked at the customer doubt
fully.
"Oh, well, of course it's nothing to me-"
he said.
''Then what made you ask about it?''
The clerk made no reply, but got the
bottles. AS he was making the change,
however, the spirit moved him to ask:
what do you do with the corks?"
''Chew en- was the reply. Its good
for the digestion. Try it some time. ="
Then the customer walked out and the
clerk shook his head and tapped his fore
head, but he asked no more questions.

ANACOSTIA NEWS.

Another saloon fight is being waged in
Anacostia. Benjamin Aiundell applied Sat
urday for license to open a barroom
on Harrison street IN the same building
formerly occupied by William H. Rose.
The temperance people, under the leader
SHIP of Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, learned
of the move of the saoon people before
the application was filed, and soon q
hot contest began again before the ex-
else commissioners. Mundell is brother
inlaw of Rose, whose license was re-
Jected, and ii is claimed that it is the
old firm under q new name.
An important meeting of the trustees
of Anacostia Methodist Church was held
last evening in the church lecture room.
President j. E. Powell presided. The
object of the meeting was to arrange a
new system of collecting the subscrip-
lions due upon the church building in-
debtedness. This work has been performed
by Rev. James McLaren heretofore, but
last night it was taken from his hands
and assigned to the trustees, niue In num-
Der, who, provided with a batch of names,
will begin their work in day or two.
