The Gazette Quotes Scripture.

"And all King Solomon's drink
ing vessels were of gold and all the
vessels of the house Of the forest OF
Lebanon were of pure gold; none
were Of silver; it was nothing ac-
counted Of in the days ofSolomon."
Il Kings 10: 81.
The Gazette has lately betaken
itself to quoting scripture to sus-
tain the gold bug ticket. The
above quotation in last week S
issue is unfortunate, however, since
we are told that, while the Kings
household was living in such golden
luxury the people were oppressed
beyond endurance, and SIS soon as
Solomon was dead, "Jeroboam and
all the congregation of Israel came
and spake unto Rehoboam, the
King, saying: Thy father made
our yoke grievous now, therefore,
make thou the grievous service OF
thy father, and his heavy yoke
which he put upon us lighter and
we will serve thee. i Kings

With the present endorsements of
other silver organizations the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan is more encouraging

he is the strongest man that could be
named With the'votes he will re-

sweep the country, leaving for the
Republicans electoral votes of less
tnsn IL States, and as goes the Presi-
dental ticket so will be The Congress

Will Honey Make Mckinley Go?

The Republican Natloral Commit
tee have arranged for 100000 for
the State Of IllinoIs, hoping 20 check
the free silver sentiment which is in
the increase in that State. There ia
no liltle friction between the Republi-
cans who want original Mckinley
men on their committees and to han
die their money, and the friends of
the candidates for State Offices. The
former propose to push Mckinley re-
.gar,lcgs Of the State ticket, and this
causes protests from friends of the
Stale ticket who demand some recog-
milton for their friends.

Kansas has produced the largest
steer on record, but it has been left for
Robertson g. Co, Texas, to give the
world biggest hog of modern times
a four legged hog, that is: This re-
mGrkable porker is 4 years old and
weighs l340 pounds that is good
weight for horse, but the owner of
the hog thinks if he is fed all he will
eat for some time to come his weight
can be increased 10 over a ton-2,200
pounds--perhaps. That is as much
as big Shire or Clydesdale horse
wcighes. The giant Texas pig is A
feet l inch high and is 6 feet around
his body. He is powerful attraction

bearded lady and the fat man, al
though one would think hogs were no
uncommon sight.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Senator Lodge in his great speech
before the Massachusetts republican
convention thus paid tribute to the
Stars and Stripes:
"When we look at that flag, what is
it that makes our hearts thrOb? If
you see it in foreign land, as / did
last summer after months of separa-
ton, what is it that makes your
throat choke and your eyes get damp?
Is it because a great many men have
made money under it? [ believe that
that is a great deal more than the sign
of successful national shop, never
to be unfurled for fear that the trader
on the opposite side of the way may
have his feelings gruffied. I think it
is great deal more than that. And
when | look at it, [ don't see and YOU
don't see, you don't see there the I'M
age of the dollar, you don't see there
the motto of the epicure, 'sLet US eat
and drink, for to- morrow we die ~
No you read on that flag the old Latin
motto ''Per as 1oira I'D dstra." Through
toll and conflict to the stars.
You don't see the dollar on it. But
when you look, and your heart swells
within you IS you do look, the mem
cries that come are very different. IF
you see any facts there it is the face
Of Washington and his Continentals
behind him, marching from defeat at
Long Island to victory at Trenton, to
misery at Valley Forge, to final tri-
umph at Yorktown. applause Look
again and we all see there the face of
Lincoln. Great applause The
mighty hosts are there of the men
who have lived for their country. and
given their lives for their country and
Ill - L
way, and believed in it and loved it.
They are all there, from the great
chiefs to the boy, who fell in Balti
more. That is what see, that is what
you see. That is why we love it. be-
cause it means this great country and
all the people, it means all the strug-
giles and sufferings we have gone
through, all our hopes, all our as pira-
tions. 1t means that we are a great
nation and mean to take a nations
part in the family Of nations. 1t means
that we are the guardians of this
Western Hemisphere and will not
have that rashly invaded. applause.
1t means the one successful expert
ment of representative democracy. 1t
means victorious democracy. That is
what it means, and that is what T see
there, and that is what you see there.
And mnch as l care for business and
economic questions, never will adj
nit that that is all or that the duty of
a public man ceases there. There are
other questions that must be dealt
with also. never will admit that that
is to me merely the symbol of a land
where I can live in rich content and
make money. No, prefer to look at

THE h RRLSON WEDDING.
1rk., April I, '96.

In New York, April 9Th, perhaps as
simple wedding as has ever been
witnessed within the walls of st.
Thomas church was solemnized
shortly before O'Clock in the evening
when ex President Harrison entered
into the holy bonds of wedlock with
Mrs. S. L. Dimmick.
The guests began to arrive at the
church shortly before 5. AS they en-
tered they were received by the two
ushers, the private secretary of the
ex president, E. F. 1ibbott, and d.
Mrs. J. T. Parker, the brides sister,
occupied a front pew on the left, and
M. and Mrs. Pinchow the one on the
right. Behind Mrs. Parker, sat Gov
ernor Morton and Colonel Marin, his
military private secretary. In the
succeeding pews were Senator and
Mrs. S. B. Elkins, ex-Secretary of
State j. w. Foster and Mrs. Foster,
ex-Attorney General w. H. Miller and
Mrs. Miller, and G. w. Boyd of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
General Harrison and General B. F.
Tracy, his best man, arrived IN car
riages at the church at 500. They en-
tered through the rector's residence
on SD street, and went to the vestry,
where they awaited the arrival of the
bride. General Harrison wore long
frock coat, dark trousers, and white
gloves. In the lapel of his coat was
boutonnierre of lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Dimmick and her brotherin
law, Lieutenant j. F. Parker, u. S. n.
reached the church at 5:18. They en-
tered by the main door on Fifth av-
enue, and went to the tower room to
the left of the vestibule, where wraps
and coats were discarded At 5:32
the two large doors leading to the
centre aisle were thrown open and
che ushers, side by side, stood in the
rassageway.

Look up, look forward, look on the
bright side. 1t is great thing to take
an optimistic view of life. By think
lug that everything happens for the
best, and every day looking on the
bright side of things, tone and vigor
will be given to the nature, and any
one who tries this plan under any
and all circumstances will be happier
and more contented. 1t is a mans
first duty to be contented with his
lot, no matter what it may be. Real
happiness is SO easy to get that one
sometimes wonders that there is SO
much misery in the world. Some peo
pie can not drive to happiness with
four horses, and others can reach the
goal on foot. Being perfectly con-
tented with what we have is the sur
est way to be really happy.

| Tn the same moment Rev. DR.. J. w.
Brown, the officiating clergyman, rob
ed in white cassock, appeared from
the vestry, followed by the sexton.
The reverend doctor passed in behind
the sanctuary rail.
General Harrison and his best man
at once came forward and stood be-
fore the top chancel step. The left
hand Of the general was barred and he
carried in his right the left handed
glove. Immediately the bridal pro-
cession was begun. The two ushers
walked forward and took a position
on the second chancel step The bride
leaning upon the arm of Lieutenant
Parker, with head erect and thor
oughly self composed, followed.
The final words that made General
Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick one we're
pronounced at 5:43. DR.. Brown shook
hands with both and offered his con-
CALCULATIONS. The ex- president then
extended his right arm to his bride,
and, to the strains Of the Tannhauser
wedding march, they filed down the
centre aisle.
The honeymoon will be spent in
apolis, which has been renovated for
the occasion. Later the couple will
go to the Adirondack mountains.

The man who eats because he is hungry is
thus far, on a level with the brutes. The man
who stops eating the moment his hunger is
appeased is the wise man. Nature needs no
more food than she calls for. Continued ex-
cess brings about Indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, ambition
and mental power; and an accumulation OF
aches, pains and many dangerous local mall
aides. The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some artihcially
digested food which can also digest other
foods That is to say, we must use the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. The chronic pain and distress
ceases Appetite presently revives. Flesh
and vigor gradually come back. and the suf-
ferer RECEIVERS. But he must be careful in
future. A trial bottle for 10 cents.

Our chief happiness does not come
from the great things of life any more
than our greatest misery from the
hardest blows of fortune. The evils
which break men down, which make
bitter hearts and misshapen lives, are
the petty, grinding, wearing anxieties
and torments of every day. To offset
this, the great bulk of human happi-
ness is made up of small daily ordi
nary pleasures and compensations
which we often despise, and general
ly overlook and neglect. To make
our personal happiness outweigh our
depression there is frequently needed
but the PERCEPTION of this fact, and
then we act on the knowledge. To
throw ourselves into these small
things with enthusiasm and hearth
ness will richly repay us.
