"Jncle EilIy's" Political Record.

In every county of Kentucky you will
find lot of old mon who take great pride
in telling you that for 40 or maybe so
years they have never voted anything but
the Democratic ticket They began per-
haps with jackson and have come on down
the line. An old man of this sort, who
was called Uncle Billy and who was very
close listed, one day saw group of voters
about Governor Proctor Knott. Uncle
Billy, leaning on his tall staff, edged his
way in and asked to be introduced. He
was formally presented "as the oldest vot-
er in the county" Eyes, gov nor" said
Uncle Billy, with evident pride, II GER
tainly am the oldest voter in the county.
IF airy man will fetch man as has
throwed more Democrat votes than / hev,
I'll furnish the liquor" Hereupon sew
eral of the crowd knowing Uncle Billy's
stinginess, but eager for any chance to
come into q treat, pricked up their ears,
and Uncle Billy, noticing this and be-
coming alarmed at the probable outlay il
he should be proved wrong, hemmed and
hawed and added, "That is, I'll furnish the
liquor to airy man as fetches the man. =

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet
has it, and the result is that the number of
pseudo remedies for it is as numerous as Pha-
raoh's host. They are for the most part worth
less. There is, however, searching eradicant
OF this distressing and obdurate msisdy, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to
foremost place among the staple medicines OF
America. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters extir-
pates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude than any known remedy, and is
a most genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to
secretion. These are not empty assertions, as
thousands Of our country men and women who
have experienced it's effects are aware. but are
backed up by irrefragable proofs repeatedly
laid before the public. The Bitters also pro-
mote regular habit of body and give a health
fu stimulus to the urinary organs.

She MOurned,

To those who can tell an Irish story
well, with all its rich brogue and rolling
RS, this is suggested as a good one:
Mrs. S. was much interested at one
time in poor widow whom she had EN-
ployed, who found great difficulty in get
ting living. After while, however, the
widow married man with some money
and in a fair business, and Mrs. S reioiced
over her fortunate prospects. A few weeks
later, however, she met the former widow
dressed in the deepest of mourning Shock
I'd and sympathetic, Mrs. S. said, "Why,
Mary, hope you have not met with any
loss
"Sure, Mrs. S" replied Mary, "when
my poor Tim died, was that poor that l
couldn't put on the bit of mourning for
him, and 1 said that when could would,
and so / am"
The new husband must have been cur
mudgeon if he had objected to this. Phil
adelphia Ledger.

ENTERTAINING ROYALTY.
Some of the Curious Rules That Are OBJ.
served at the Dinner Table.

Many people are not aware what a bust
ness entertaining royalty is, how they are
hedged off by "a hundred little observances
from ordinary mortals and treated as if
they We're a different order of beings en-
tlrely. II any one for instance, is honored
by being allowed TO entertain prince and
princess at dinner, all the other guests in
vited to meet their royal highnesses arc
asked for a quarter of an hour before the
time, so that there may be no chance of
the illustrious guests waiting
One very curious rule is that at dessert
none but the royal guests must have finger
glasses put before them The origin Of
this rather uncomfortable restriction Is
interesting. At o time when .Jacobites
were more common than they are now, and
when the chances of rising in favor of the
Stuart pretenders to the throne were not
altogether remote, certain highborn rebels
were accustomed to drink to the king.
holding their glasses over the water in the
finger glasses. And SO, while apparently
drinking a loyal toast, they We're really
drinking to "the king over the water"
When the ladies have left the dining
room, cigarette at the dinner table is the
invariable custom. The prince, whoever
he may be, must not be asked to light his
cigarette with an ordinary match, but has
little spirit lighter handed him for his
sole use.
Upon one occasion, when the Prince of
Wales was dining in the hall Of Trinity
college, Cambridge, in which it is consid-
cred by the dons sort of sacrilege 70
smoke, he was not offered the CUSTOMARY
cigarette. The prince had been an under
graduate at the college and may have felt
some hesitation in defying the well known
custom.
But nature prevailed, and his royal high
ness pulled out his cigar case and lit up,
an example which was gratefully followed
by many Of the other guests.-New York

Hadn't Earned the Reward.

A fat man carrying gun and leading
dog made dash down Market street for
the Oakland ferryboat. He could have
caught it if he had walked quietly along,
but he became excited, and old Time COM
menced having fun with him. The dog
would run on the wrong side of telegraph
poles and hydrants, and tangle up his
chain in the legs of pedestrians. By the
time spent in apologizing and untangling
the dog he was delayed till the little cato
closed in his face. Then he ran around to
the big gate lodged around a mail wag-
on, and madea run for the boat. The deck
hands raised the apron and the boat NOV
cd slowly out, but he was determined to
catch it, and, gripping his gun and dog
chain little tighter, made run and
sprang into the air. The boat was only six
feet away, but the dog baked at the apron.
The hunter stopped in the middle of his
leap, his feet flew out toward the steamer,
and he dropped into the bay like a bale of
hay. A small boy who was fishing from
the wharf dropped his pole, splashed into
the water, and lowed the fat man to q
pile, where he chung till boatman pulled
him out.
"My boy, you saved my life" he ex
claimed enthusiastically, as he kicked the
dog and tried to wiring the water out of
his shotgun. "Let me reward you"
He thrust his hand into his clammy
pocket and fished out wet 10 cent piece.
''There, my boy; take that, but don't
spend it foolishly"
"No, sir; 1 can't take it, sir" The
boy pushed the generous hand aside. II
didn't earn it,
"Why, you saved my life boy"
Eyes, know it, sir; bat 1t amt worth
10 centsr'-San Francisco Post.
