every subject he can conceive. He breaches
some which an English public would new

ignorance does not prove stumbling
block to the author, as in Europe. He has
todeal with peculiar form Of civilization
and nation possessed Of strong common
sense, fund of humor and keen sense
Of satire, which atone for defective educa-
ton.
Many of the subjects chosen do not, &C.
cording to our western idens, appear fitted
for the stage. They are wanting in inter.

Mark Twain's Keeper.

Mark Twain once expressed desire to
attend the annual dinner of the Gridiron
club of correspondents in Washington, but
when an invitation was sent him his re-
grets were received by return mail. Meet.
ing member of the club later, he COM
planned that he had been neglected. When
informed that an invitation had been sent
him and his regrets received, Mr.. Clemens
scratched his head, as though in perplexity
for moment, and then said, "Those were
Isaac's regrets. -
"Who is IsaacP'
"He's my keeper. He's the man my
wife hired to prevent me having any more
fun" Mark then explained that Isaac
opened all his letters and invitations, wrote
answers, which in the case of invitations
always consisted of regrets, and then
burned them. When asked what is Isaac S
other name, the humorist replied sadly:
II don't know. My wife hired him, and
she told mo what his name is, but l have
forgotten. l call him Isaac, as he is doomed
to the fate that nearly befell the favorite
son of Abraham. When l get we'll, l in
tend to cut him up in chunks and burn
him on the altar, and don't care If the
angels holler till they get diphtheria,
Doesn't he ever consult you about the
answers to your invitations"
"Never. He always sends my regrets
and says I'm sick, and that's going to get
me into trouble. told him so the other
day Said 1 Isaac, when die and 60 to

some morning and remind me about those

name, and then I'll have to look all over
Tophet for you to prove an alibi. 4"

Colonel Ingersolis Eloquent Eulogy Of tie
Popular Narcotic Plant.

At the banquet which closed the fourth
national convention Of cigar manufactur
ers in New York few years ago Robert
G. Ingersoll eloquently extolled the virtues
Of tobacco as follows:
"Now, then, 1t Is delight to speak OF
a subject every one understands. We all
understand the divine plant. have loved

my first taste had plug of my own.

moral advice of parsons and the physical
advice of medical men.
Something in the human brain Graves
the leaf. If you want to awaken the mind
Of the savage, who has no clothes except
climate increase his wants. Give him q
taste of tobacco, and he will hunt for iron
and dig for jewels and gold to get more Of
the plant.
"There's too much hypocrisy about the
use of tobacco. Thousands use it and lie
about it. want you to use 1t and defend
its use, because 1t adds something to the
value and happiness of life. In spite Of
the thunders of the pulpit and the anathe.
mas Of physicians. its use Ia increasing.
and that is because the brain Of man

ter for it. Have the courage Of your hap
piness and defend its use.
There is another point want to make.
Tobacco is a luxury. Let us cheaper all
luxuries. Labor pays all the tax In the
world Then let labor reap some Of the
benefit. Give the workingman tobacco as
cheap as possible. The idea is to let the
poor devil work now and smoke in the
world to come. We want him to smoke

my part, would rather go without corn

CAN'T FIGHT.

1t doesn't look as If the prize fight
ing would find piece Of ground in
the United States wherein to erect q
ring and fight, without immediate
arrest.
A most remarkable affair was the
assembling Of the legislature in the
state Of Texas to pass a law to pre-
vent fight at Dallas, which they did
In two days. and with but a half doz-
en- dissenting votes. This proceed
ing probably shows more Difference to
the public opinion of the United
States, and the world, than the indi-
vidual opinion of many of the legisla-
tors themselves.
However, it seems to be settled
that the American people as whole,
do not approve Of prize fighting as a
business, and If any is done it will be
against law. When illegal the "hon.

co. COMMISSIONERS ELECTION.

Notice of election appears in this
issue. Thank goodness, it is only q
little one this year, and only affects
small parts of the county; yet it is i'm.
portant, very important, that good
men be elected to the Office of county
commissioners. In no Office In the
gift Of the county does the officer
elect, have to use his own personal
judgment in Official matters, as does
the county commissioner.
Most other officers duties are clear.
ly shown and restricted by law; they
have only to do as they are directed
but the county commissioners duties
are largely of q general business ma
ture, and depend upon bis own judg
ment as to what is best, right and
reasonable. The expenditures of tn.
county funds are entirely in the hand,
Of the boarl, and to a certain extent
the levy Of taxes.
Weak, foolish, ignorant, arbitrar,
or obstinate men, are equally out O
place on the county board. The bes,
business heads Of the county are non,
too good for the county business
transacted bv the commissioners.
