The BOw-Leg Boy.

Eugene Field in Chicago Record.
VINO should come up the road one day
But the doctor-man in his two-wheeI shay;
"Ahoyi
1 have brought you folks a bow-leg boy!
such a cute little boyl
such a funny little boyi
such dear little bow-leg boy!'
He took out his box and he opened It wide.
And there was the bow-leg boy insidel
ana when they saw that cunning little
mite,
They cried in a chorus expressive of de-
What a cute little boy!
What a funny little boy!
What dear little bow-leg boyw
Observing strict geometrical law.
They cut out his panties with a circular
saw;
1WN,hieh gave such a stress to his oval stride
What cute little boy
What funny little boy!
What a dear little bow-leg boy!
They gave him a wheel and away he went
Speeding along to his hearts content:
And he sits so straight and he pedals so
strong
That the folks all say as he bowls along:
What a cute little boy!
What funny little boy!
What dear little bow-leg boy!
With his eyes afame and his cheeks aglow
He laughs "aha" and he laughs ohio;
And the world is filled and thrilled with
the Joy
OF that jolly little human, the bow-leg
boy
The cute little boy!
The a funny little boy!
The dear little bow-leg boy!
If ever the doctor-man comes my way
With his wonderful box in his two-wheel
shay,
I'll ask for the treasure I'd fain possess
Now, honest Injun! can't you guess?
Why, a cute little boy
A funny little boy

A policeman who was making his way
up an alley off Calhoun street stopped to
look over a fence where a colored man
was splitting wood, says the Detroit Free
Press. Nothing was said by either for a
time, but the colored man finally queried:

piled the officer. "A man down here lost

The New CounIe,s FniIure.

From the Chicago Post.
She was new and was constructed on
the latest modern plan,
But she lost her heart, like others, and, of
course, twas lost to man;
So at last the two were married, and thew
started married life,
AS they thought, equipped and ready, well
prepared for any strife.
She was posted on his business quite as
thoroughly as he;
She had studied all the details, and, as
any one could see
She could run the shop or office; and 1t
also seemed quite clear
She could act as his bookkeeper. or could
serve as his cashier.
She could sell goods on commission, or
could buy on thirty days;
She was sharper than most merchants in
all proper business ways;
She could take" from his dictation. and
dictate to others, too
There was nothing round the Office that
she really couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored
for a life of great success,
But the outcome of their trial was a fail
ure, more or less.
They are doomed to boarding houses and
regretfully they roam
For while both can run the Office neither
one can make home.

order of The Chrfstian Shoe.

Not long ago a cable dispatch said that
the Emperor Of China had received petit
ton from certain Of his subjects in South
ern China praying that the queue be abol-
ished and that footbinding be prohibited.
II seems that there is. or was once. some
where a law. whether written or unwrit-
ten does not matter much to the Chinese,
that makes the wearing OF the queue. OF
pigtaf compulsory. A certain old Tartar
conqueror Of the Chinese ordered the con-
quered people 10 wear the pigtail as a
badge OF their humiliation: and the order
has been faithfully obeyed for some thous-
ands Of years. There is. however. no law
compelling the binding OF the feet of wO-
men and girl children. The binding is not
universal in practice in the empire. and IN
some provinces It it not practiced at all.
No footbinding is allowed in the imperial
family. and the mandarin families allow
the feet Of their female members 10 grow
as big as they please. Footbinding is
practiced almost entirely in what might be
called the middle class Of society. and it is
done merely because it is fashionable.
Even in heather China, fashion is follow
ed. at the expense Of comfort and common
sense.
A recent cable says that newly formed
society known as the "Order OF the Chris
tian Shoe" had good deal to do with the
sending to the emperor Of the petition
against footbinding referred to above.
The society was instituted by American
for its object the abolition of the foot
binding fashion and the introduction of
Christian" shoes-like those worn by
American and English women-into Chi
nese middle class households. The women
at the head Of the society are no doubt
actuated by the best Of motives. They be.
lieve that China is now about to enter upon
a great period OF reform, and think the
women Of China should start in upon that
period with a good understanding. At the
same time, it is apparent that they have
undertaken no small task. The fighting
Of fashion IS a serious matter. Not long
ago there was pretty general movement
in this country in antagonism to the thea
ter hat fashion, but the reformers had to
give it up and retire from the field. The
country laughed at them. And in Chicago
recently there was an attack upon the
fashion of wearing boomers as a bicycle
costume. but the attack did not amount to
a row of pins. The Christian shoe" cru,
SADIE in China win hardly have an easier
time than had the anti-high hat crusade in
this country Besides, the Chinese will be
pretty apt to ask wherein are the reform
ers competent to teach them what they
should or should not wear, seeing that
they themselves wear corsets, and that the
corset stands indicted for probably
greater number of deaths and more tor
ture than footbinding.

Judge Samuel p. Maddox, who had been
chosen 10 head the delegation from Whit
field county TO the Griffin convention, saad,
previous to the meeting of the convention:
IF the convention adopts &c to l resolu-
ton and criticises the democratic admin
istration, we will draw out, We are demo-
Gratis and bimetallists, but not for free sill
yer at 16 to l." A day or two after the
meeting OF the convention we referred to
Judge Maddox's expression, and said 1t
would be interesting to hear from him
again. He has now been heard from again.
He did not attend the convention-not one
of the Whitfield delegation did so-and
has told the Dalton Argus that he will
not go with the declarations of the con-
vention." 1t begins to appear very plainly
why no list of delegates was kept at the
convention.

From Covington (Ga) Enterprise Dem)

our friend, Senator A. o. Bacon, is In

wealthy man. and has a 5000 year posi-
ton for six years, and big law practice
therefore, the dangerous policy of trying
100 cents worth of gold will not, neces-
sarily. deprive him OF any of the luxuries
of this life. The working class cannot af-

lar coined VIII have the same purchasing

Nothing Gained.
From the Ha1twen O. Sun (pem.l.

When political party makes any sac
rif1ce of principle for policy it makes a
mistake. This was demonstrated very for
chilly in the free silver convention held in
Griffin a few days ago. The populists
gained nothing by going into 1t with the
demOcrats The democrats gained moth
ing for democracy, but rather placed them
selves in an awkward and uncomfortable
attitude to say the least. There is no DO
litical congeniality between sound demo-
Gratis and true populists.

A monument Is to be erected to Edwin
Booth in Central park The fund is to be
started by an open-air Shakespearian per-
Torrance, which will be given next month.
The theatrical profession will push the
matter, which is equivalent to saying
that the erection of the monument will
not long be delayed, and that 1t will be
worthy of the genius and fame of the
greatest American actor. Booth was a
man of the country, hence the chances are
that all sections of the country will con-
tribute literally to the fund for the mon
ument.

Another Bothersome Question.

From LawrencevilIe (Ga,) News Dem.).
If the free and unlimited coinage of

country, will some advocate of it tell us
why the silver countries Of the world have
less money, and more poverty and beg
gary than those where the gold standard
has been adoDted?

Senator Tillman and other free silver
advocates, We notice. are still talking
about five-cent cotton and fifty-cent
wheat. If the senator and his conferees
have knowledge of where they can buy
cotton at five cents and wheat at fifty
cents, we advise them to invest all the
in these commodities, and become mill
ionaires forthwith. Cotton is selling in
New York at seven cents. and spot wheat
was quoted Friday in the same market
at seventy-seven cents. A profit of two
cents a pound on cotton and twenty-seven
cents a bushel on wheat would pile up
millions faster than the money could be
counted.

The Tillman-Irby primary election for
the selection of delegates to the South
Carolina constitutional convention will be
held tomorrow. The majority of the
counties will probably hold primaries,
though in some of them the orders of the
political machine will be ignored. From
the present outlook there seems to be no
reason to doubt that the Tillmanite fac
ton Will dominate the convention and
write the new constitution. 1t is said the
mississippi plan" of securing white SUI
premacy in the state government will be
adopted into the constitution. That plan,
reduced to a few words provides that

the blue birds have almost entirely dis
appeared 1t has no explanation to offer
for the disappearance of the birds, and.
so far as We have seen, there has been no
satisfactory explanation from any other
quarter. New England cities are short
on birds this year, and the opinion seems
to obtain up there that the extreme cold
of last winter killed them. If that was the
case in the south, 1t has not been developed
yet that anybody noticed any number of
dead birds after the cold snaps.

There are seventeen counties in the Ninth
congressional district-Congressma Car
ter Tates district. Only two counties in
the district appointed delegates to the
Griffin convention. They were White and
Forsyth, both populist counties. The
Gainesville Eagle says the delegates from
Forsyth county were elected by seven
democrats and five populists, and that
the delegates from White were selected
by "a handful of populists, democrats and
Tiilmanites." In an interview published
by the Washington Post a week or two
ago, Congressman Tate was quoted as
having said: There is some talk Of a sill
yer meeting TO be held at Griffin, a short
distance from Atlanta. but don't know
anything about it. don't know anything
about silver, and ! don't want to be
quoted about it," Why the congressman
would not talk about silver Is now plain.
