The Devil Had Her.

A little Cincinnati girl was at the sea-
shore during the summer with her pa
rents and was very fond of putting on
her bathing suit and going into the water
along the beach. She was cautioned
about the danger of going near the water
alone, and, though she was often dressed
in her suit and allowed to play among
the sand, she was forbidden to venture
in the water, even to wade. One day she
was playing on the beach and, forget
ting the motherly injunction, she waded
out ankle deep in the tapping waves.
She met her mothers reproof later with
a disturbed countenance, but had no ex-
cuSe to offer.
What made you wade into the water
asked the mother, when l had told you
not to do 500"
oh. the devil made me, mamma, -
was the reply.
Yes pursued her mother, but why
didn't you .say'to him Get thee behind
me, Satan?'"
Il did, mamma; / did, and the tears
began to gather in the little eyes; "and,
mamma, he just got behind me and
pushed me right in."-Cincinnati En-

CLOSING A LETTER.

A Bit of knowledge Which Many Stand
in Need Of.
Someone once said that the three need
full things for perfect love letter were:
Good grammar.
Good paper
and sincerity.
Nowadays we are apt to think of the
spelling. too, and the writing. the neatly
divided paragraphs and the general style
and getup of the missive, for all letters
are not love letters. and everyone has
not the excuse of disordered heart and
a bedazzled mentality for a careless
scrawl.
One should have an alcohol lamp or
roll of the wax tapers sold for the
purpose, and still air in the room to
properly seal letters. With the seal and
envelopes before you. turn one end of
the stick of wax rapidly over the flame,
not near enough to ignite it, until it is
creamy and ready to drop; then deity
rub it round and round over the point of
the envelope Hap until enough is deposit
ed, wfe1 the dab 81 wax may be held
. moVent immediately over the name n
Then firmly press the seal into It, II
drop of the hot wax is first PLACED under
the point of the flap the seal will be less
likely to break. A well-cut seal will
never stick, and practice will insure 9
firm impression, with the wax moulded
neatly and evenly around the seal. In
all this pray be careful. Remember
Mrs. Longfellow's sad fate from the lace
of her gown catching fire as she sealed
her letters.-Philadelph Times.

DR.. l. Ego, he with the wonder

astonished, mystifod, astounded,
amazed, heirminds were awakened,
aroused, resurrected, renewed, their
brains were captivated, collared, con-
fused, concussed, their spines were
fascinated, attenuated, facilitated,
enwarmed. DR.. l. Ego convinced
them that they ought to believe ev-

warranted pretensions Of skill, the
most extravagant claims Of knowl
edge and wisdom, that would have
made the gods on high blush, and
yet they believed him.

he bought a bottle Of my wonderful

1.-THE PARTY WRECKER."

Grover Cleveland has succeeded
by his reputation of the platform
upon which he was elected, and a
judicious but unscrupulous bargain
ing and disposal of the official pat
ronage under his control, in com
pletely disrupting the Democratic
party throughout the United States,
and earning for himself the only
title which history will know him
by-that of "The Great Party
Wrecker." That there will be two
sets Of mocratic candidates for
nearly every office next year-one
in favor Of patriotic American action
on the silver coinage and currency
question, without regard to mon
archial European policies; and one
Of the tories, who follow the lead of
the Hartford Convention tories of
1912, and are afraid to assert sin
gle American principle, without
first consulting the crowned heads
Of Europe, is now almost certain
ty, and Grover Cleveland's sneak
ing deceit and double dealing with
Democrats on this matter has
brought it about.
The Republicans being practically
in power in all three branches of
the government, and flushed with
pride at their victories, will likely
present solid front in favor Of the
gold standard alone, and will have
all the aid the administration can
give them, and the banks, boards
Of trad., and corporation managers
will cheerfully furnish all the mon
ey necessary to great effort to fast
en- their control upon the country
permanently-thert by enab in &
them in the future to bleed the peo-
pie as they choose.
The only remaining hope for the
preservation of the liberties Of the
common people of the country is in
arousing such true American spir-
il of patriotism as will lead all voters
to examine the financial question,
which will be the dominant issue be-
tween patriots ana tories next year,
thoroughly, and for that purpose ev-
cry voter should study "Coin's FL
nancial School," sold at 25 cents

II will furnish them a truthful in
sight to the question, and the cause
Of often recurring panics and conse-
quent failures, low prices for farm
produce of all kinds, low wages for
labor and less demand for it, and
resultant distress, suicides, deaths
and crimes among the common peo-
pie. These are all Justly traceable
to certain causes, and to prevent
them the people should understand,
and be able to reason intelligently,
from cause to effects.
If the people generally will do
this, the COURIER has such a faith
in their intelligence and love Of lib
erty when aroused to danger, as
leads it to believe that the Demo-
cratic ticket in favor of free coinage
of silver, at l6 to 1, independent of
monarchies, will be overwhelmingly
elected, and the tories Of all parties
be assigned to desuetude for another
century. Rally round the flag.
