Lamont Doesn't Drink.

1t was during Cleveland's first term.
The Presidential party was in st. Louis
reviewing the parade. 1t was cold blus-
tering day, the sort of weather which
makes one draw himself up into the small
est possible space Gov. Francis, who was
doing the honors, looked at the President
standing stoically in the face of the wind
while the parade went by. Going up to
Col. Lamont the Governorsad:
Colonel, do you-eh-think that it
would be right if l were to ask the Presi-
dent to-eh-take a drink of-eh-whis-
key? It's pretty cold, you know, and it
would do him good"
ASK him to take drink Lamont ex-
claimed. Good heavens, man! You mean
to say that you have been with the Presi-
dent "a hours and haven't asked him to
take a drink?"
The Governor looked somewhat sur
prised but at the same time relieved, ad-
mitted his guilt, and stepping up TO the
President said, "Mr. President" The
President, turning around, looked at him
straight in the eye, which seemed to take
the sand out of the Governor, who, blush
ing and stammering like a young man
about to propose to his sweetheart, said;
"Eh-Mr. President, do you know it is
very cold today-eh-It thought that maybe
just by way of preventive, you know,
that possibly you might think it wise to
take a small drink of-eh-whiskey."
"Where is it?' the President, in very
business-like manner asked.
Fright this way" said Gov Francis,
and reckoning at the same time to Lamont
and the Mayor, he led the party to a room
which contained a table, on which were
four glasses half filled with whiskey.
The President looked at the glasses and
said to Gov. Francis, "Whom are these
for?"
"Why, one, Mr.. President, is for you,
one for Col. Lamont, one for the Mayor
and one for myself"
The President took up the glass and
emptied its contents into another. Setting
down the empty glass he raised the filled
one carefully to his lips and looking at the
red liquor with an expression of sweet an
ticipation said, just before emptying his
glass, dan doesn't drink, - iuSburg

What The Mckinley Law Did for Tin
I'D perkins IN DC - York Sun

Coming back on The Dalles (Oregon)

proprietors talking, when one said:
Eyes, I've bought my tin for all my can

Stepping up to him, | asked if that was
cheap.
Cheap" he said. "Why, paid $3.50
a box for Welsh tin in 1892, and bought
this Elwood, Indiana, tin, better tin
than | ever got in Wales, for S4.S5, and
have made a contract for the same tin in
1896 at 81"
"Then all the tears we Democrats shed

"Well, rather. The people who eat

Scientific morseshoeing.

In the kingdom of Saxony horses are
shod scientifically, and under the provis-
ions of Saxon law no man is permitted,
under severe penalties, to shoe a horse I'M
til he has completed the curriculum at the
royal school of Farriery and received the
diploma which gives him the title of Gep-

States consul at Cbemnitz, who has thor

often made to fit the shoe, while the shoe
should be carefully adjusted to fit the hoof
of every horse by a scientific expert. If
some such laws and regulations were in
force in the United States much good would
be done, much suffering avoided, and the
art of shOeing would be raised to a scien-

The Country,s widest Region.

Assistant Chief Goode of the United
States geological survey, who visited Or
egon last summer, says that the widest re-
gion of the entire United States is an area
of 1000 square miles lying in the mountains
between Roseburg and Coquille in Douglas
and Coos counties. He describes it as
a mysterious undiscovered country, in
which roams undisturbed wild game, and
whose brooks and rivers are filled with wild
fowl 1t is nearly all covered with dense
growth of pine, fir, hemlock and other
trees. Many of the trees are of enormous
size, and stand so closely that it is difficult
for men to make their way between them.
Where the trees are not so thick the heavy
growth of bushes of various kinds takes
their place. 1t is a country that is filled
with all kinds of wild game, including, as
reported to him, elk, different kinds of
bear, mountain lions, deer and other ami
mails, including lynx and others. There
are also the varied kinds of fowl. The
streams all have an abundance of trout
and other kinds of fish. He penetrated
into the wilds dozen miles and saw things
that filled him with wonder at the vastness
of the forest, and that any one should at
tempt to live in it.-NOrthlreSt Magazine.

An Exploded ClnIm.
From the Boston Journal


One Of the chief-perhaps the most tel
ling of all-of the arguments by which the
income tax has been defended is that it
would fall upon the people who were best
able to bear it, and would compel the in
Ordinately wealthy to contribute literally
for the support of the government. How
utterly delusive this clai has been is strik-
ingly demonstrated by the fact that under
the decision that tax on the rentals of
real estate is unconstitutional, the richest
family in all America, the Astors, whose
property is chiefly in land and buildings,
will be able almost entirely to avoid the
laws eXactions. Other rich persons whose
investments are either in real estate or in
municipal and state bonds are also eX-
empted, while the active merchant or man
ufacturer, whose entire resources are in
his business, will be compelled to yield up
the full 2 per cent of such of his income as
exceeds $4,000. The practical result of
the operations of the tax, therefore, will be
to favor accumulated fortunes at the ex-
pense of productive industry

MISCELLANY.
The Four winds

Wind of the North,
Wind Of the Norland SHOWS,
Wind Of the winnowed skies and sharp, cleai
stars
Blow cold and keen across the naked bills,
And crisp the lowland pools with crystal films,
And blur the easement squares with glittering ice
But 90 not near my love
Wind of the West,
Wind of the few. far clouds,
Wind of the gold and crimson sunset lands
Blow fresh and pure across the peaks and plains
And broaden the blue spaces Of the heavens,
And sway the grasses and the mountain pines
But let my dear one rest.
Wind of the East.
Wind of the sunrise seas,
Wind of the lingiug msts aud gray harsh rains
Blow moist and chill across the wastes Of brine,
And shut the sun out and the moon and stars,
And lash the boughs against the dripping caves,
Yet keep thou from my love
But thou, sweet wind.
Wind of the fragrant South.
Wind from the bowers Of jasmine and of rose
Over magnolia glooms and led lakes
And Towering forests come with dewy wings,
And stir the petals at her feet, and kiss
The low mound where she lies
