said Mr.. Goslington to New York ,Su7,
man, that because dumb creatures do
not respond promptly to our kindness
they are inseusible to it. The truth was
brought home strikingly TO me once in
the case of dog that / once owned.
That this dog was not impervious to gentle
treatment was clearly shown by the fact
that when you patted it on the head it
wovld wag his tail, thereby showing not
only that it understood the kind treat
ment but that it was pleased with it all
through. But 1 observed that when l
spoke to the dog when it was not looking
at me it paid no attention. This was sur
prising and at first rather disturbing, but
the dog seemed in other respects so kindly
that did nothing about it.
lone day when a German friend of
mine was visiting me, and when l had
called the dog with the usual result,
asked my friend to call him to see if he
would mind him any better. He did call
and. naturally enough, being German,
prise the dog turned and came joyously
bounding toward us. The simple fact
was that the dog understood the universal
kindness of touch and eye, but the only
spoken language he knew was German,
from which country, as | subsequently
learned. he had been imported only about
ten days before / bought him.

should teach the dog English or whether

CARLISLE'S FIVE POINTS.
Remarkably Clear and ForcIbIe ct
terances of the Secretary.

Remarka bly, Clear and EOrcIble ct.
terances of the Secretary.
Secretary Carlisle. in his speech at
Bowling Green Saturday night, stated
five propositions which ought to burn
themselves into the memory OF every
workingman in the United States who is
inclined to follow the Elusive promises
which arise from the free-silver coinage
idea. There is no theory or unfounded
assumption i'll these propositions; nothing
but plain statements of facts, and they
cannot be eyaded or avoided. They are as
follows:
/. There is not free-coinage country
in the world that is not on a silver basis.
2 There is not a gold-standard country
in the world to-day that does not use sill
yer for money along with gold.
3. There Is not sllver-standard cOun-
try in the world that uses any gold as
money along with silver.
t. There is not silyer-standard coun-
try in the world to-day that has more than
one-third OF the circulation per capita OF
the United States.
D. There is not silver-standard coun-
try in the world to-day where the labor
ing man receives fair pay for his days
work.
Doubtless there are many men who be-
lieye honestly that free silver coinage
can be adopted in the United States with
out placing the country on a silver basis,
reducing the quantity OF money in circu-
lation aud depreciaGng the value OF the
dollar. There is not a record of history,
not a sound principle of economics, not
an existing example OF a monetary sys-
tenn in the world to form basis for this
belief. The author of COINS Financial
school" was forced to acknowledge, in
his debate with Professor Laughlin in
Chicago a few days ago, that gold could
not remain In use as money in this coun-
try ii tree silver coinage was adopted.
But he did not ex plain, nor has anyone
done so, how the laboring man and pro-
Queer can be benefited by driving out of
use third of the money Of the country
by one act of legislation. 1t is true that
the gold will be replaced with silver in
the course of time, but the minis could
not in ten years turn out enough silver
dollars TO take the place OF the expelled
gold. So there is no reason why the man
who is after more money" should advo-
cate free silver coinage. Less money for
many years, and of poorer quality al
ways, would be the inevitable result of
free silver coinage. That would bring its
greatest hardship TO the producer and the
laboring man.-Portland OregonIan.

HE WAS A COWARD.

And Walsh Chose Good Way of
Proving IL.
Parke Goodwin, then one of the editors
of the Eoening Post, had been outspoken
in his newspaper writings and also in
public speech, in the denunciation OF the
political methods in common practice.
Thereby MIR. Goodwin had aroused the
hatred of Isaiah Kynders and his assOci-
ates, says h. j. Edwards in McCture'S
1ldgazine.
One afternoon, having left his Office for
his home. MIR. Goodwin stopped, as was
his custom. in Florence's restaurant for
some oysters. AS he stood at the oyster
stand. he saw in the remote part OF the
room Rynders and some OF his men
q . Hesuspected that they proposed
to assault him before lie could leave the
building. He realized that it would not
do for him to run. however; SO he began
to eat his oysters. while celebrating
upon his course. Suddenly he noticed
that man stood beside him, and looking
up he ssw Mike" Walsh, who said to
him: $50 on eating your oysters, Mr..
Goodwin, but do it as quickly as you can,
and then go away. Rynders and his
men have been waiting here for you, and
intend to kill you, but they won't attack
you as long as am by your side"
The advice was followed. After Mr..
Goodwin, having finished his oysters, had
gone out. Rynders stepped up to Walsh
and said: what do you mean by inter-
fering ia this matter? 1t is none of your
affair.""
well, Goodwin did me a good turn
once, and l don't propose to see him
stabbed in the back. You were going to
do sneaking thing; you were going to
assassinate him, and any man who will
do that is coward"
mo man ever called me q coward.
Mike Walsh. and you can't"
But do, and will prove that you are
a coward. 1t you are not one, come up
stairs with me now. We will lock our
selves in room; will take knife and
you take one; and the man who is alive
after we have got through will unlock
the door and go out"
Rynders accepted the challenge. They
went TO an upper room. Walsh locked the
door, and gave Rynders large bowie
knife, took one himself, and said: on
stand in that corner, and I'll stand in
this. Then we will walk toward the
center of the room, and we won't stop
until one or the other of us is finished"
Each took his corner. Then Walsh
turned and approached the center of the
room. But Rynders did not stir. "Why
don't you come out?'' said Walsh. Ryn-
tagonist, and said: "Mike, you and I
have always been friends; what is the
use of lighting now? If we get at it. we
shall both he killed, and there is no good
in that" Walsh for moment said not a
word; but his lip curled, and he looked
upon Rynders with an expression of ut
ter contempt. Then he said II told you
you were a coward. and now / prove it.
Never speak to me again.

OUR TRADE WITH ASIA.
Not Nearly of the Dimensions 1t Was
Eew YaarS Stnoa

Not Nearly of the Dimensions 1t Was
a Few Years Since.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Consul- Gen.
eral Gernigan at Shanghai has sent to the
State Department his observations on the
commerce between Japan and China and
Corea, which he says will present new
phases as a result of the termination of
hostilities. He says the competition
among Japanese merchants for Corean
trade is vicious and has demoralized
trade.
Mr.. Gernigan calls attention to the fact
that there is not in China or Japan a
banking institution conducted by Amer
lean capital. Great Britain, France and
Germany have banks in China and
Japan, ne says, and the merchants of
these countries are supported by the
banking institutions of their own coun-
tries. and they. have been dividing the
profits of Asiatic commerce. Amer
lean merchants in Asia are compelled
to transact their business through
foreign banks. Not many years ago the
American interest was of first considera-
ton at Shanghai, and American COM
merce whitened Asia's seas. Now other
nations are pushing ahead, although
geographically the United States should
dominate and supply with the over pro-
duction of their fertile fields the markets
of the swarming millions of Asia.

He has worked hard on the farm every

spring he found the new grass and the
fresh air SO agreeable that he was rather
cross when handled. thinking it was in

who he knew came to play with him, he
was, however, very good-natured.
1t is not probable that he will be put to

earned a rest. and that it will be interest
ing to see how long he will live if left in
peace and comfort. He is now privi-

likes. and taking deep interest in FAM

A curious fact is that all the other
horses. without distinction OF sex, show
most friendly disposition toward him.

A WONDERFUL OLD HORSE
At the Age of Forty is still Strong and
Cheerful.

At the Age of Forty is Still Strong and
Cheerful.
A venerable and interesting inhabi-
tant of Wyckoff, n. j., is a horse named
Colonel. After long career OF activity
and usefulness, he is still cheerful and IN
possession of all his faculties.
Colonel's age is now forty years, which
horse breeders admit to be remarkable.
Many declare him to be the oldest known
horse. 1t is interesting to know that he
comes of a long-lived family. His
mother, Nell, and his brother colt, Major,
each lived TO be thirty-three years old.
Colonel was born and raised on j ohm
Meyers homestead. near Wyckoff. on
the Susquehanna. He still lives there.
The Darling and Havemeyer stock farms
are near by, and Cotonels age is anthem
ticated by many persons at these places
who have known him all his life.
The present John Meyers represents
the fourth generation of the family which
has owned Colonel. He has known five
generations OF the Meyers family.
His father and mother were bay col
ored. Colonel is nut-brown. His grand
father was an imported horse named
English Lion. The name was PROBABLY
given TO him on account OF remarkable
mane resem bling that of lion.
In spite of his great age, Colonel never
looked or felt better than he looks and
feels this spring. He has practically said
so. He trots about and plays when let
out to grass. Some visitors who recently
came from a distance to see him were
much amused when ne rolled on his back
for their benefit. He got up again as
easily as young horse.
He was Always a hard and earnest

illness, the distemper, which he caught
at time when it was epidemic.
He has a fine appetite, but his teeth are
so poor that his hay has to be cut and
steamed for him. This fact should be en-
couraging to human beings. He doesn't

but makes great fuss if his kettle is
used for them. His eyesight and hearing
are excellent. He comes from a distance

but years have somewhat Quoted him.
Formerly it was considered unsafe for

and affectionate and fond of quiet, social
intercourse.

that they must be the required thing.
She gave them to her hubby regular
