A FRIEND OF ST. PETER.-The late
DR.. Yandell was fond Of telling the
following joke: A lady patient one
morning greeted him with the remark,
doctor, l had such singular dream
about you last night" 'Indeed.
What was it ?n "Why, I dreamed
that died and went to heaven. I
knocked at the golden gate and was
answered by Peter, who asked my
name and address, and told the record
ing angel to bring his book. He had
considerable difficulty in finding my
name, and hesitated so long over the
entry when he did find it that was
terribly afraid something was wrong /;
but he suddenly looked up, and ask
ed:
"'What did you say your name
wasp l told him again. why
said he, you have no business here.
You're not due these 10 or Is years
yet
"'Well, said I, 'Dr. Yandell said
'Oh, you're one of Yandells patients,
are you? That accounts for it. Come
right in! Come right in! That mans

some way"

A WELL TRIED REMEDY FOR HOG
CHOLERA.-I raise and fatten from 300
to 500 hogs every year, and consequent
ly have had some experience with hog
cholera. separate the well hogs from
the sick ones; give them clean, heal
thy quarters, and feed carbolic acid
one teaspoonful to each bucket of thin
swill, milk or water. Give hogs all
they will eat mixed in that way. Feed
it to we'll hogs when they are exposed
to the disease. Carbolic acid is also
a great preventive. Where herd is
infected they should be doctored with
carbolc acid two or three weeks. The
acid will cure all the hogs that are
able to eat.-EXchange.

s9r "Young man." said the sage, II
hear YOU are about to be married ?"
"You are right" said the young man.
"Well, young man the day will come
when YOUR wife will make the discov
cry that you d. not know everything
on earth. 1t will be great blow to her
feelings and your supremacy. Still,
there is hope for you; you, while
cheerfully admitting that you do know
it all, may be able to persuade her
that the reason for that state of things
is that there is 80 much in the world
that is not worth knowing"

THE ONE THING BEYOND HER.
She Mastered All the Problems but One
and Gave That Up.

and Gave That Up.
II am the peer of any n"
As she uttered these words of proud
defiance, Finda Saycal drew herself to
her full height and scornfully gazed at
the group of savants who surrounded
her. All but one of the throng cring-
ed before her as if acknowledging her
claim, so great was her erudition, so
masterful was her manner.
The one who cringed not was hardly
a savant. He was professional base
ball umpire, with a large, aggressive
looking pompadour and black eyes
that regarded her with look of conf
dent cunning.
One by one the savants questioned
her. She answered inquiries in French,
German, Russian, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Chinese, Japanes$ and
Norwegian. She read Greek, Latin
and Hebrew at sight, and she called
Sanskrit "easy."
"GentlemeD," she pleaded at last,
"try to make it more interesting for
me. This is mere kindergarten work. !"
A noted Psychologist then stepped
forward as the forlorn hope of ne baf-
fled savants. Amid breathless excite
ment he endeavored to humble her
with a cuneiform inscription, but she
deciphered it as readily as child
would have prattled her A B C's.
"Do your worst!" she cried mock
ingly. "There is nothing cannot un-
derstand."
"What, nothing?"
1t was the umpire, with the aggress-
i've pompadour and the keen, cunning
eyes, who spoke. There was cynical
smile on his lips.
"Nothing! Nothing!"
She repeated the words as definantly
as ever, but there was startled look
in her eyes as if she knew she possess
ed one vulnerable point and feared he
had found it.
"Nothing in English would puzzle
you, I suppose
"Chaucer without a glossary or
Browning without key, of course"
she sneered, "but just try me. And as
for magazine poetry-I can tell you
what it means when it don't mean any
thing. There is nothing l canhot un-
derstand."
"What then does this mean ?"
Taking from his pocket morning
paper, he read aloud: "Nichols found
the leather for the left field fence.
Lowe cracked a single, sending Mich
OILS to second. Long smashed cork
ing two bagger through Eddie Burke,
and the cranks had heart failure as
two of the Bean Eaters sprinted across
the plate. Rusie's next ball twisted
like an elongated bedspring, but Duff
fy pushed his big bat against it for a
single. He fell asleep on first later,
however, and was nailed by big Aimie's
catapult throw. fuckers pop fly was
pie for Davis, and Nash famed the
other three times, sending Bean Town
to the field. The Giants were goose
egged in their half Russie banged
twister with whiskers on it to the in
field, but the leather beat him out at
first. Tiernan fouled out. Stafford
touched Nichols for three bags, but
died when Farrell popped d fly"
Pausing, the umpire transfxed the
new woman with triumphant eyes that
seemed to burn into her very soul.
"What does that mean?" he de-
manded.
With a shrek of despair Finda Say
cel fell to the floor.
"Lost Lost ~ she moaned.
The baseball reporters lingo was the
one thing on earth she could not un-
derstand.

LET THE BOYS HELP.

Why is it that the boys are allowed
to sit around the house doing nothing,
while their overworked mother is
struggling against nature and fate to
do the work ?
Only the other day we saw three
large, able bodied boys lounging about
the house, not knowing what to do
with themselves, while their mother,
tired and pale, was trying to do
the work for large family and
company alone. Not boys work
to to help about the house? Why
not? Is there anything about wash
ing dishes that will injure him or that
he cannot learn to do well, or about
making beds, or sweeping, or setting
the table, or washing or ironing, or
cooking a plain meal? On the con-
trary there is as much to benefit him
in such work, the most important of
which is the idea that it isn't manly to
let the "weaker vessel" carry all the
burdens, when it is possible for strong,
young hands to help.
Most boys would gladly help in
the house if they were asked to do
so, and were taught how to do the
work properly. Many smart boy
wants to help his tired mother, but
doesn't know beyond bringing in the
wood and water, and shoveling
a path through the snow. This
done she tells him to 90 and play while
she plods wearily on.
Not q boys work? For shame
1t is a positive hurt to a boys moral
character to think it right to be idle
while his mother is staggering under
her burdens. Let the boys help and
those who can't get help for Glove or
money" as they often write US, will
see their troubles disappear.-Phila-
delphia Methodist.

ST. John FOR INDEPENDENT COINAGE.

CHICAGO Dec 7.-Ex-Governor John P ST.
John, of Kansas, who arrived here tonight, to
attend the meeting of the Prohibition national
committee, said: 81 am in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, at a ratio of
70 to /, without asking the consent of any
other nation on the face of the earth You
can put this down for fact: The silver issue
IS going to cut the greatest figure of any issue
before the people in the next campaign"
The above was clipped from the Kansas CITY
Star. In substance, it also appears in the Chi
cago Times Herald, in which paper Governor
st. John is also quoted as follows:
cit silver will undoubtedly come before
the convention of every political party next
year. The two old parties will, as usual,
3traddle the question, but you can put this
down for fact: The silver issue is going TO
cut the greatest figure of any issue before the
people Ill the next campaign. do not say
that it ought to do So but am simply talking
about what will be done"

Mr.. Frank G.. Willard recently wrote to Mr..
William ]. Quinlan, cashier of the Chemical
National Bank, of New York city, the strong
est bank i'll the country, making some inquiry
regarding the. existing financial conditions.
Yesterday, he received this reply from the
cashier:
81 would say that the imports have been
largely i'll excess of the exports, which has re-
suited i'll the shipment of gold. Besides, owing
to the distrust i'll Europe regarding our curren-
cy, our securities are undoubtedly shipped
back to us, and that aggravates the situation.
doubt very much if there is any ground for
your believing that moneyed interests are spec
ulating on the natior's necessities, ETC. At
any rate, are not aware of it.
'Our troubles in this country are largely due,
think to the existence of the greenbacks and
the enormous pension list. Retire the u. S.
notes and cut down the pension list to fair
proportions c | verify believe that so or 60 mil

Bishop Doane of Albany has started new
wave of temperance thought. He would put
the sale of beer, ETC., on the same ground as
the sale Of bread and butter; i. e., he would
give up the license system, but would punisl,
drunkards, selling to minors, and violators of
the Sabbath,
He hes been very severely attacked, but
possibly we do not fully understand him. He
is right in opposing license as a principle
Making liquor dealers class unites them in a
solid body. In this way they become great
political power, and here lies our greatest dan
ger. The drink habit is not so great foe as
political corruption. Let the state take its
hands off the saloon and the people will treatit
as nuisance, which it is.
Prohibition of some sort will follow free rum.

loon $500 per year it will be hard to get the DO

SENATOR PETER has bill which provides
for the Withholding of a government license
from anybody not authorized to sell lntoxicants
under the state law. 1t has been suggested
i'll this connection that however man may
disregard a state or municipal law, he will not
care to 60 against Uncle Sam, and the measure
would, therefore, be of immense service in the
enforcement of the prohibitory liquor law
But, why is this so, why should it be so?
Cannot state and municipal law be enforced
just as rigidly and successfully as United States
statutes? Undoubtedly they can if the matter
is undertaken in the same way and in the same
spirit. The enforcement of the laws of the
United States is usually carried on without fear
or favor by salaried officials, who are not de-
pendent upon the votes of an uncertain con-
stituency for their position, and are answerable
to no one excepting the head of their depart
ment. Furthermore, when a criminal is con-
vcted in the United States courts, he usually
stays convicted until his sentence expires A
change in the administration of state and mu-
ncipa laws which would cause it to be more
in accordance with the methods of the general
government might not be undesirable
sons Independent
You may rest assured that Senator PETER has
studied this question from every point of view,
and you may also rest assured that he always
does the right thing, at the right time and in
the right place. That bill is all right.

HE FAVORS THE UNFORrUNATES WHOSE HOMES

The decision OF the supreme court OF this
state reversing its former decision touching the
redemption law of 1898, created profound SELL
sation in this city, the home of Chief Justice
Martin, and Notwithstanding it was Sunday, it
was general topic of conversation The law
vers especially considered and commented upon
it, and it is quite apparent that among them it
is not regarded with favor, and that i'll their
opinion it will not be sustained by the supreme
court of the United States.
The opinion is regarded by some as more Pop
ulistic than any that has ever before been enla-
mated from so high judicial source. 1t is as
serted that from 5000 900 to 81, ,25O, 900 will
be affected. In most cases prior TO 1898
the MORTGAGE in foreclosure proceedings pur-
chased the mortgaged property at price far be-
low the original debt. Under this decision the
morteagor, within eighteen months, can redeem
his property by paying the amount twas bid in
for at the court house door, secure possession
and escape payment of the balanceoi the origin
al debt. The mortgagee i'll orderto make him
self secure, is forced to bid the amount OF his
loan, notwithstanding that during its pcndency
the property may have greatly deprecated III
value There are thousands Of acres i'll Kansas
that have been bought in by the mortgage at
an insignificant fraction of the orig ginal debt,
upon which the former owners are living
as tenants and paying rent. In the opinion of
the LAWYERS these tenants can now assume pos
session as owners, recover the rent paid with
interest, redeem at the price the property was
bid in for and be freed from the balance Of the
original debt-K. c. Times.
