Good Neighbors.

Next to being a good husband ana

to become good neighbor.

The man cannot be found who is al
WAYS at variance with ibis neighbors
who is not himself blanable fer it.
Quarrelsome neighbors are invariably
little minded persons. A really noble
mind never quarrels.
Poverty not infrequently makes a
good neighborhood, for when men and
women are engaged in a struggle for
bread and are obliged to depend upon
mutual assistance in sickness, they are
very apt to be good neighbors.
1t is not good neighbor who shuts
himself within the walls of his posses

1t is not good neighbor who stands
ready to pounce upon any unlucky pc

He will suffer many before he will dis

An unpleasant neighbor is nuisance
There is no need why the word neigh

Origin OF "Windfall."

The origin of the expression "wind-
fall" which is used when one wishes to
refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
querer. says the Republic. At that
time 1t was a criminal offense to cut
timber in the British forests without
royal consent All that could be gath
cred for fuel or other purposes was such
limbs as the wind would happen to
break and cast to the ground. On this
account the peasants hailed great wind
storm as blessing, because 1t was apt
to cast enough of "windfalls" for winter
firewood From this old time forestry
custom comes the modern application of
the expression. AT one time It was
decreed that only such limbs and whole
trees as should fall during the three
summer months could be used as fire.
wood, but the injustice of the act was
so plainly apparent that no attempt was
ever made to enforce it.

There was many employees connected
with the establishment, but the princi.
pal owner was MIR. Walter Wilkinson,
young man now completing his edu-
cation in Europe.
Three months more were added to
the year Nettie had passed as assistant
book-keeper, when another clerk was
appointed and assigned to duty in the
establishment of Ward, Wilkinson &
Co., by name Arthur Middleton.
The new clerk was an intelligent, well
educated, affable young man, and withal
very handsome, and seemed quite out of
place among prints, silks and musIins !;
but he came highly recommended, per-
formed his duty faithfully in all depart
nents of the store, and had a smile and
kind word for all with whom he came
In contact.
Nettle was the recipient of many an
act of kindness from Mr.. Middleton,
which served to smooth down the rough
expressions Of Mr.. Bragg. and she felt
that away down in the recess OF her
heart--so deep and so dimly defined
that she dared not cherish the sweet
herself--was kindIed feeling
toward Mr.. Middleton which could not
be expressed by the cold word esteem.

an IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
by ARTHUR E. cLEssoN.

Nettie Percival was an employee In
the large dry goods establishment OF
Ward, Wilkinson & Co, in the city OF
Cashville.
Her position of book-keeper was no
sinecure, for old Mr.. Bragg, who had
grown gray In the service OF the hrm,
and was principal book-keePer, did not
allow those under his supervision to be
idle much of their time; and more than
that, he thought the employment OF fe-
male clerks an innovation on the rights
Of his sex, to which he submitted with a
very I'll grace, and allowed no opportu'
nifty to pass whereby he could demon.
strpte their ineficiency for positions of
such importance.
"Here Miss Percival!" called the
rough voice of Mr.. Bragg, one morning,
as he arrived al the store unusually late,
and evidently In an unpleasant frame eff
mind, with all persons and things
around him. "Your footings of this
column of figures are incorrect wish
you would be more accurate In such i'm
portant matters"
The young lady looked up in astonish-
ment, not merely at the gruff speech of
Mr.. Bragg, but that those figures over
which she had spent so much time and
care should prove incorrect at last.
1t was useless TO argue with the stub
born old man, so she took the papers,
saying mildly;
al am sorry, Mr.. Bragg; | will go
over the work again"
He muttered to himself something
about "carelessness and waste of time,
but II reached Miss Percevaps ears, as
he ded; and a red flush came tc
her cheek as she thought of Mr.. Bragg

Presidential Candidate Bryan Appeals to
National Prejudice In Order to Create
Sympathy For the Silveritcs.

Presidential Candidate Bryan Appeals to
National Prej1cice In Order to Creatc
Sympathy For the silserites.
In the speech which gained him the
Democratic nomination for president
the lion. W. J. Bryan Of Nebraska said
in reference to what he termed 1.-THE
great. paramount issue my friends,
we shall declare that this nation is able
TO legislate for its own people Oh every
question without waiting for the aid CT
consent Of any other nation on earth,
and upon chat issue WE expect to car-y
every single state III this Union.
If this means anything, it means that
the paramount issue" ON which tho
silveritc campaign is to be fought is not
free silver at Is TO /, but the question
whether this country is able to legislato
for its own people. On this issne there
can be no dispute. OF course the United
States can legislate vsnhcut the aid CT
consent of any other CSlntry. No advo
cate of sound money will for moment
deny Mr.. Bryan assertion, nor has any
one ever dqse SO. If congress chooses to
pass n law that the tides shall never
rise more than four feet along any parr
Of our seacoast, it has a perfect right to
do SO. If the United States wishes to
enact legislation forbidding the Russian
thistle to grow, it is able to do SO with
out the consent of any other nation. If
congress chooses to fix the price Of sugar
at 4 cents Per pound, it can legislate to
that effect without any aid from the
hated British or Frcrchman There il
no doubt about our ability to legislata
on every question without asking any.
body's consent.
But if congress passes foolish laws.
will they have any effect? That is the
real issue. Can the price Of such com
modify as sugar be iSed hy our laws?
Certainly not. Equally impossible would
it be to fix the price of silver at 16 to l

They do say, and all the experience of
mankind proves that they are right, that
under such law this country cannot

Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from tho question as to our ability 10

without the agreement (not the consent,
as he states it, Of the great commercial
nations shows the weakness Of the sill
yer cause. Confusing the ability to leg

A Poor Argument For Free Silver.

The free coinage agltatcrs ask the
people to vote fer the l g to l scheme on
the ground that the bankers, manufac-
turers and merchants are all in favor os
a sound currency. If the banking and
business interests are opposed to free
silver say the cheap dollar advocates,
''the farmers and workers should sup
port it. There rlust be something good
for the poor in this free coinage scheme
just because the rich people do not want
it.
OF all unreasonable ard GonaCGric
pleas for SO cent dollars this is the
worst. An exactly similar argument
would be a demand on the part of the
millions who do not own homes or
buildings of any lind that ell houses
should be burned down because it would
hurt property owners. There is no Goubo
but that every man in America who
owns building would say, il asked.
that he is opposed to having his proper
ty des,'ssoyed. But that would be no rea-
son why the pecole who have no homes
should favor arson
The attempt to create a prejudice in
favor OF debt reputation because bust
ness men and bankers believe in hon
esty can never succeed with fair mind
cd, honorable citizens. They will decide
the silver question on its merits and
will not be led astray by appeals to one
class to vote for cheap and trashy money
merely because it is favored hy another
class.

Cause Of Free Silver Craze.

The causes of the free silver craze are
thought by the Baltimore Sun to be
1.-THE same which caused the grcenbacl.
heresy to find advocates in SO many
states of the Union go years ago-the
feeling of unrest and desire for
change, no matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business and lack of
employmcnt-the desire, conscious or
unconscious, Of debtors to scale their
debts by paying them in deprecated
currency-the vague idea that more
money in circulation means more
money in each individual's s pocket, with
out reference to his means or opportunity
to earn or acquire it.
