The Free silver Coinage Hold-up.

This bandit may not intend to shoot,
but he certainly has dangerous weapons
and while they are pointed at our cap
italists our industries will make but
slow and uncertain progress. But lit
tie new capital will bcinvested in indus
tries until it is practically certain that
such investments are safe and that
they will not suddenly lose half their
value by being measured in 5o-ceut dol
lars. Remove all doubts as to the stand
ard of value for the next ten years and
our own capital will come out OF its
hiding-places; foreign capital will rush
to this country; old factories and mills
will become active; new enterprises will
become undertaken; thousands, now
idle, will find employment; farmers will
find markets for their product'; mer-
chants will have use for their old, and
perhaps need new, clerks; in short,
times will be good" Never was there

Your Boy Won't Live a Month.

So Mr.. Gilman Brown, of "a Mill St,

him up, saying: Your boy won't live a

him to health and enabled him to go

The score OF Fridays Game with tu,
| Buckshoes. M
A fair crowd of Marietta lovers o.
the National game witnessed an ex
hibition of very poor ball playing al
the Athletic grounds Friday afternoon
The bad playing was almost entirely
on the Marietta side and lost the game
for the home team by "A score of 10 to 4
The fielding of shortstop Ransom and
third baseman Carr was especially no
tica BILE for its low standard.
The GAINESVILLE boys put up good,
snappy game and their pitcher held
the Mariettas down to six hits, while
the visitors pounded out 8 singles and
two doubles.
1t is evident that the personnel. OF
the home team will have to be changed
in several particulars before it can
hope to do any good.

NOTES.
Ransom and Carr will be released to-
day, as their playing has not been sat
isfactory Both understand the game
well but seem unable to get down to
work in good shape.
Donahue, the new catcher, appears
to be all right. he is quick on his feet,
and though left handed, swift and
certain thrower to bases.
The sand and gravel will be swept
off the diamond today and the game
ought to be better than yesterday.
The pitching of Reynolds is giving
good satisfaction and is very credit
able, considering the support he has
been receiving in the field.
A new man will be on third base to-
day. This position has been SO poorly
played in the Sistersville and Zanss-
vile games that it has come almost to
be considered sure that hit up to
third is good for base on any occas-
ion. The new man is Fred Shiers, of
Springfield, an excellent player.
Frank Griffin. the shortstop of the
Buckshoes, whom the Marietta man
agement have been after for some
time, was signed last night and will
make his first appearance in Marietta
against Chillicothe next Mon
day.

would have found new lodging place

formed messenger boy.
It is well-known fact that uniformed
messenger boys are the enemies of all
living things, such as mice. II was the
models i'll luck that this messenger
boy should spy him, and instantly the
cry rang out on the avenue:
Eli! there's mouse"
Poor Graycoat ran for dear life, with
the messenger boy in hot pursuit and
shrieking his "Hi's!" like Comanche
Indian. For several blocks the chase
continued, everybody coming to stop
to watch the outcome. Up in the studio
window stood the fierce artist, praying
with might and main that his model
might win, and that the messenger
boy might break his neck.
Both these things would perhaps
have fallen out as the artist wished,
but for a doddering. finty-hearted old

1t, as mice always do for all their sharp
ness. Next morning all the lions and
things were found in apple-pie order
while Graycoat sat inside bis little
prison, an affair of wire with trap
door of tin. He gazed ruefully at the
artist, and that persons bloodthirsti-
ness melted away in an instant.
"Guess I'll put off killing him for
day or two anyway" the artist unused;
''but must get even somehow, so I'll
pose the little scoundrel."
A tumbler was procured, and Gray
coat was put under it with bit of
cheese. Then he began to pose in way
that must have put the most skillful
professional model to shame. He took
first this position, then that; gnawed
his cheese for a moment, then dropped
il to trim his whiskers; shifted at the
rim of the glass; sat on his launches
and looked up wisely through the bot
tom at the ceiling; and each time held
his position just long enough to give
the artist an opportunity to get him at
his best.
So 1t went on for an hour. Then the
artist said:

His Nerve Saved His Life.

Len Henry, a well-known pioneer, re-
lates an adventure that Is out of the
usual order. He was travelling on a mar
row trail above the raging Grande
Bonde river when he came to a land
slide about 20 feet across that left no
trail or even niche in the smooth, pre-
cipitous rock. The trail was so narrow
that the horse could not turn back.
He was trapped. Above the 2O-foot
break in the trail was sharp crag of
overhanging rock. On his saddle bow
was a strong RATA so feet long, and
Henry is an expert in the use of it. He
steadied himself upon the saddle,
swung the rope over his head, and
hurled it high in the air. It settled
firmly over the crag. He tried 1t careful
ly. It was firm. His saddle was new
and strong one, with double cinches.
Around the horn he wound the rope.
He urged the horse on to the edge of
the precipice. The faithful beast stood
firm. He would not step over, but the
rider drew up the slack and pulled with
all his power. Inch by inch he drew the

A bottle Of India ink had been very
carefully upset over his kingship's

did not reach by the laws of gravita-

In fact, he didn't like it at all.
"Drat that mouse!" he exclaimed,
as soon as he reached the studio the
next morning. Being an artist, of
course he did not say ''drat," but it
isn't necessary to put down here just
what he did say. Whatever it was,
after he had said 1t several times, he
added:

able mouse has spoiled more work in

And that is how the mouse came to
be a model. For his neck was not
wrung, though he did at last come to-
an untimely end through it all. De-
spite his fierce talk, the artist is just
about the mildest person on earth, and
it is not recorded that he ever wrung
