A Hot RetOrt.

The widow Teeter's husband had been
dead only few weeks when there were
surface indications that she was about to
marry again.
The late Mr.. Teeter had not been e1-
actly {. model husband, and it was the
general opinion that his death was a
stroke of good fortune for Mrs. Teeter,
but still the relatives of the deceased
thought that his memory required q
widowhood of at least year. When the
indications of the approaching marriage
became apparent. some of her late hus-
bands friends waited on Mrs. Teeter. One
of them said:
"We henr taat you are about to marry
again, Lucy Ann"
"Well, ]. don't know that it is any of
your business" replied Lucy Ann, "but
if 1t will give you any satisfaction to
know the facts, L don't mind telling you
that shall be married woman again in
about two wesks.'
''But Tom has been dead less than three
months" protested another.
"Well, J. suppose he's as dead as he ever
will be, isn't he?"
"But" said third, "you ought in COM
mon decency to wait until he is cold"
await until Tom Teeter is cold !' re-
peated the widow, with fire in her eye.
"If your theological belief is orthodox,
you must know that Tom Teeter hasn't q
ghost of shuw of ever getting cold
Then the objecting relatives filed out
and Mrs. Tester resumed the work OF
preparing her trousseau Truth.

| to the medical witnesses than he did
to the others and labored to break
down their testimony.
"After pretty good argument from
the facts he had to work upon he drew
his address toward close and picking
up the bottle which contained the re-

"'Now, gentlemen,' said the attor-
ney, as he paused and significantly
looked at the bottle, 'just to show you

confident and composed, raised the
bottle to his lips, drained it to the
bottom, set it on table and, as coolly

to the men in whose hands the life

Gentlemen of the jury, l thank
you very kindly for the attention

"Then, making graceful bow, he
walked quietly from the roem. This
much the jury and audience saw, but
the physician in waiting knew the rest:
By the use of antidotes, emetics and
! skilful use of stomach pump, he had
in few minutes removed all the
poison from O'Brien's stomach and
quickly the lawyer came back into the
room, coolly sat down and listened tc

the prosecuting attorney.

Charles Broadway Rouss, who
should, according to tradition, be the
irate parent, but who isn't, is one of
the best known and most eccentric
merchants Of this city. From nothing
at all he has amassed fortune esti-
mated at many millions, and has a
huge establishment in Broadway,
whose conduct, while most successful,
is on original lines, laid down by its
proprietor. A few years ago he was
stricken with an incurable disease of
the eyes, and he is almost totally
blind. One of his most famous acts
came as result of this afliction,
when he advertised to pay 81, 100000
to any one who should restore his
sight. Many attempts have been made
but all have proved fruitlcss.

The Lesson of 1892.

What happened in 1892? Everybody
had money, plenty of money; and then
they came to you and whispered in your
ear that although you had plenty Of
money and plenty of work that you were
not buying what you bought cheap
enough; that they were taxing the many
for the benefit of the few, and too many
of the American people listened to it.
1t was the arousing of the class of en-
ployers against the employed; and the
employed against the employer; and we
had the change. They gave us the cheap
stuff, but in what condition did they
leave the American people?
1t reminds me of cOlored gentleman
who wanted to cross the Arkansas river,
and had no means. He sat down awhile
upon log and waited until someone
should come up. Shortly a white gen.
tleman approached. He says: BOSS,
want to cross this river: will you
please give me two cents? / haven't q
cent in the world" "Well, sir" he said,
don't make damn bit of difference
which side of this river you are on"
And so it is with all cheap goods that
these gentlemen furnish us. They fill
the stores with their clothing, made Of
shoddy, brought in under an ad valorem
law by which the importer is made to
swear that it is worth nothing, and it
old hats picked up out of the streets
and alleys of our foreign cities, of rags
from Switzerland and rotton socks from
Italy. 1t is sent over to be placed upon
American backs. That is not the civil
ization we want. We want American
wages, American clothing and Ameri-
can civilization. Now, in 1896 they
came to us. We had plenty of money
before. now we have no money. They
come to us and saw they are going to
give it to us; and they propose this
doubling of the face value of silver

torical and clear proof Of it? In fact,

by hand. but by machinery. which Is
