This is the way they feel over a
shower of rain in sunny Kansas:


"a short time since the cow was sad;
She scarce could raise her head, begad;
Her heofs were sore, her tail was limp,
Her name and bangs had lost their crlmp,
And miles she trudged from grass to drink,
With scarcely strength enough to wink
The owner, too, looked blue and glum,
And cursed the cattle business some,
But since the rain the grass is tall,
Toe cow can raise her head and bawl;
Her hide is sleek, no bones protrude,
She Frances like Q Kansas dude;
Her tail is stiff, her eyes are bright
She snorts and dares the crowd to fight.
Her swner, too, digs up the chink,
And asks the boys to take drink.
God bless the gentle, gentle rain,
1t makes q man feel young again;
he feels like tossing up his hat,
And bowling like Democrat"

CLEVELAND and Carlisle turned
Kentucky over to the tender mer-
cies of the Republicans. Because
they would not eat hay, they OBJ
jected to the OK eating it. Rather
than see free silver win, they would
defeat their own party, and they
gained their point by the same
methods, and in the same way that
the repeal of the Sherman law was
accomplished. But wait until the
people again get into the saddle,
and the golden calf will be ground
to powder and its worshipers
smitten with CONSERVATION.

Chinese Games.

Many games are played in China on
boards and diagrams, the moves being made
by throwing dice. In one of these, called

printed the titles Of various officials and
dignitaries Of the Chinese government.
Players are advanced or set back. accord
ing to their throws The story told about
the invention Of this game is that the EN-
peror Kienling, A. D. 1850, was walking
at nightfall among the houses occupied
by candidates for q triennial examination
at Peflin.
Hearing the sound of dice throwing in
one of the dwellings, he sent for the Of
fender. The latter, as an excuse, told
the monarch that he had constructed a chart
on which were written the titles belonging
to all the official Positions Of the gov
ernment. He said that he and his friends
threw dice, travefsed the board according
to their throws, and were thus impressed
with the knowledge of the various ranks
and steps leading to official advancement.
The Emperor commanded him to bring the
chart for his inspection.
That night the unfortunate student, whose
excuse was a fiction created on the spur
OF the moment, sat pencil in hand until
daybreak, and made a chart which he car
ried to the Emperor. The latter was
pleased with the diligence of the scholar,
who improved his mind even while anus
ing himself, and dismissed him with many
commentators. Exchange

PILES.


Many people suffer with these terrible and
distressing tumoFs. People of sedentary
habits who use their brain and whose daily
bread depends on the expenditure OF nerve
Torce are the most liable to be SO afflicted.
Clergymen clerks, business men and book
keepers are especially prone TO suffer from
piles. Their mental and nervous strength is
constantly strained until the nerve ccnters
are more or less exhausted and the nerves
supplying the abdominal viscera fail to
perform their legitimate functions. The
result is languor, feelings OF exhaustion,
debility, indig eEtion, constipation, with
mechanical obstruction of the bowels,
causing partial circulation. The veins OF the
lower bowel have 10 valves, hence where
thiseondition exists the continued CONGESTION
causes a distension OF the tissues and the
painful condition known as piles. Many
BurgeoDs treat these as a disease, when in
fact they are symptom OF a deeper disorder
DR.. r. A. Walker can not only remove piles,
but by his treatment prevent their return.
He goes TO the root OF the evil and removes
the cause.

fAYLOR'S STORY is DENIED
Witnesses Declare That His kifc's
Name bds Stainless.
They Also Said He Gave No Evidence Of
Entering From Epilepsy
or InzanIty.

The testimony of Thomas J. Taylor
Wednesday afternoon regarding his kill
ing has wife last September was nauy
contradicted by evidence produced 10y Mir.
Biney yesterday. This new evidence also
shakes Taylor's testimony upon points
where no one living can contradict hhn.
Taylor said his wife confessed her
guilt ana said she meant not TO keep her
vows.
Mrs. Victoria L. Garrison. who lived
in the same house with the Taylors. testi-
fled yesterday that a moment before or
after she heard the report OF the pistol
on September Il she heard MuS. TAYLOR
exclaim:
Before God in heaven. am inrocent." 3"
Then she heard TAYLOR call Out that he
had shot himself and his wife.
John w Bcau testified that Taylor had
worked for him quite a while, but he
never knew Of his having fit. DR. l. X.
Shuie, tle jaA physician, said he thought
TayiNr hsd not had a fit AT the jail,
and b5l scved him sane
Jan Guard woodward said be had
watched Taylor at the 5ail, and ne saw
no signs OF fits. Dr. John b. Chaplin, OF
Philadelphia. believed Taylor was sane
and not ia an eplleptic fit when he killed
his wife.
The dead woman's sisters. Mrs. Alice
Adams and Clara ard Laura Brown, gave
testimony showing that Mrs. Taylor bore a
Stainless name; that her husband beat her.
and did not supply her properly with
clothing. They never knew of his
having fits.
TAYLOR took the stand again te say that
he had fit a year or two ago in George
town and was taken TO DR.. ScEa fhirt s
office. Br. Sch8fhirt testified that Tay-
lor was brought to his office unconscious
apparently with a scalp wound. He
was very busy and sent hun to Dr. Sad
duth. Dr. Sudduth testified that he did
not remember such a case.
The case VIII be argued to-day and
probably semitic the jury.
