ONE CLIENT IN NINETEEN FEARS

a fortnight ago letter reached a
friend OF mine in the handwriting of
an old-college friend, telling a pitiful
story of stranded life The writer
had been called to the bar, hoping
some day to land on the judicial bench,
even if he did not reach the woolsack.
He had 10 influence and very little
money.
No business came his way. But he
held on through long years, patiently
hoping that some day his chance
would come. Now he was sick.
probably unto death, and had no
money to buy food or medicine. A
remittance was promptly sent and
gratefully acknowledged. At the end
of a fortnight it occurred to the .. G.
and NJ. Fl. to call on the sick man and
see what more he might do to help
him.
Arrived at the address he gave his
name and his errand, to the ladylike
woman who opened the door, whereat,
bursting into Il passion of tears, she
told him he was too late She told
him her husband had died that morn
ing The two walked upstairs to a
small front room. On the bed lay the
Eody of man of about 40 years of
age, fully dressed in the gown and wig
of Il barrister. In his right hand he
held bundle of foolscap.
What is that" the old friend whis-
pered
That" said the widow, is the ouly
brief he received in the course of nine
teen years waiting. He asked me to
dress him thus and put it in his hand
when he was dead"

BOOSTERS GROWING.

BOOSTERS are famous for Growing at
he wrong time. Ii they once start
10 crow they are bound to finish.
You can't stop them. A famous
physician up in Hagerstown. who was
"a member of the vestry, once carried
ms game rooster TO the main in bag,
because he had 10 stop at the vestry
meeting on the way and he did not
wish the ptrson and the other vestrv-
men TO see where he was going. But
ii was 10 use. The rooster lifted. uD
ms voice from the depth of the bag
Hhd disturbed the meeting. You can't
suppress rooster. If he makes nm
MS nlud to crow. no considerations
'ot expectancy can influence him to
stop.
y Baltimore boy had q fine Ply
mouth Rock rooster which was de-
corated with a beautiful tail, and he
was altogether proud of his appear
ance. The boy last summer sent him
up to the farm and at first he was a.
great success. The country hens
locked around him and admired his
fine feathers and his city ways. But
his happiness only endured for n sea
son. One day he began to moult and
he did not stop in time, He kept on
mounting until he looked like the cook
had picked him ready to boil for
chicken soup. Then the hens left
him and another rooster became cock
OF the walk, and evil entreated our
friend. Thenceforth he had to go in n
Hook by himself. When he found a
worm and CLICKED for the hens to
come and enjoy it they turned ND
their noses ar him and the rival roost
er would fly at him and prevail
nightly against him. And so all the
simmer the poor bird ate the bread
of affliction in solitude.
Hens are Ike women in another re-
spect. They cannot keep a secret
any more than II rooster can stop
growing. a hen will spend half day
looking for safe and secret place
to lay fresh egg. And no sooner has
she found it and put her egg there
than she jumps off the nest and gives
me whole snap away by cackling as
II her heart would break. The more
important Il secret the hen has the
more impossible it is for her to keep
1t. What she hears in the ear she
procIalms on the housetop. If hen
has brood with only one chicken in
1t, she makes as much fuss over that
one chicken as a woman would over
ninety and nine children and grand
CHI ldren and wearies every body with
it. And if she happens to hatch out
a duck it is painful to see to see what
goose she makes of herself about it.

GONTRIDICTING IND DISPUT-
ING.

What Il propensity some have for
disputing, in some circles one can
not make r statement, however tri-
vial, but what another will contradict
1t, or call It's correctness into question
III SOme way. The matter referred to
may be of no Importance, yet there
must be AN argumentn about it be-
fore If can be permitted to pass away.
Disputes, contradictions and useless
arguments are sure to cause irritation
and bad feeling in the hearts of those
cCutradicted. Some seem never to be
happy unless they can cause others
pain i'll this way. The harmony and
good feeling in many families are de
stroyed by these needless DISPUTES
over triiies. And how silly such dis
puJes appear to strangers and out
side.s,
Some otherwise nice persons really
DO not mean to be disagreeable in their
family circles and TO their friends, vet
their habits of cOntradictiug and dis
putting what may arise in their near
i:,% makes them SO-iu fact, makes
them intoierablC to most people
Young persons who indulge in the
habit OF contradicting are always the
unpopular ones, for none like to have
their statements disputed In social
aud business life, the person who is
always ready to dispute and argue is
the the one who is always avoided as
It pestilent fellow. whom the majority
of the people want no more dealings
with than they can help.
To be called a liar, if not in actual
language, at least by inference. is not
pleasant, and that is Just what it
means u have ones statements con
tradicted. Such Il habit is destructive
of love and peace and happiness III
the family circle, where Il spirit of
confidence should reign. If one is un-
worthy OF belief in the home, among
friends and those who should be
friends, where can he he believed and
trusted? Besides this, such IA eX-
ample before children is calculate ed to
make them unrruthtul, for h.ldren
are always sure to learn the worst
habits before they do the good ones.
Bows. therefore, must never get into
the habit Of GiSputiHg, contradicting
and arguing over matters of little con
cerI, aud older people should be care
full never TO set them such wrong ex-
amp!es.

EOIT TIPTOES C1RRIED
LETTER.

Little Mary and her kitten Tiptoes
were very fond of each other, and
when Mary had to be sent to her
uncle's, four miles from home, to
attend school one of the hardest thing
for her to do was to part with kitty.
y few days after she had left home,
as she was walking slowly towards
school one morning, what should see
in the road Il few feet from her but
Tiptoes' trotting straight towards her
uncles house. She ran and caught
her up in her arms and laughed and
almost cried at the same time.
But this was not the strangest part
of what Tiptoes did, for kittens often
find their way long distances When
Mary returned from school that night,
she wrote Il letter to her mamma,
telling her of the kittens adventure,
and then tied the letter with a ribbon
around Iiptoes neck and told her
that she must go back home and carry
the letter to mamma. And what 90
you suppose, for this is true story2
\ few days later Mary received
letter through the mail from mamma,
saying that Tiptoes had come home
aud delivered the letter safely.
Now don't you think that Mary has
Il reason to think Tiptoes a pretty
smart cat?

The Democrats insist that we
want more gold and not more cash

of common sense are we to get gold
Ii we sold more goods we would
get more gold. AS it is we buy too
many goods abroad and our gold
slips away from us. More bonds
may get more gold for the time be-
ing, but the interest aud the prin-
cipal of the bonds have to be paid
If 1t is gold that we need, the way
to save gold is to send less out OF
the country. The shipments can
be lessened by buying fewer goods
abroad. Goods which are sold in
this country can be paid for in
bank notes or silver, but those

in gold. There iss the pinch, and

the chronic incapacity Of the
Democratic party 70 legislate
in q business way OH national inaIl
ces. Following the theories of
doctrinaires rather than availing
itself Of our own experience IN the
past, or that of other nations, it
has never been placed in power
that it did not make a muddle Of
the nations finances.
The Republican party, on the
other hand, has always strnck out
clear, bu usiness slike lines of policy.
First, it adopted the proper legis-
lation to bring in enough revenue
for the needs of the government,
and something besides to meet the
bonded debt; then ii used this sur
plus in paying the debt.
After the close Of the war, with
its enormous expenses, the history
of Repblican administrations, or of
administrations which were COM
PEELED to conduct the affairs of the
government under legislation en-
acted by Republican Congress, is a
record of a full Treasury, of d
steady reduction of the public debt,
and of refunding it at lower rates
so as to tighten the annual interest
burden by many millions.
Despite all the arguments of the
Democrats in favor OF the policy
of favoring foreign manufacturers
and foreign workingmen to the
detriment of our own, there is nc
voter of the United States, among
the working class, who has felt the
pinch of the business depression Of
the past two years, who would moi
sooner to-day have the prosperous
times of 1891 and 1892 under q
protective tariff than the hard
times since June, 1898, with the
Wilson tariff.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

The people Of Georgetown and
vicinity should leave no stone un-
turned in their effort to secure the
selection of the Southern route by
way of this place for the new
Queen Anne's Railroad. While a
few are doing all in their power
to bring this about, there is not
that interest manifested by the
general public that we should see.
We want this railroad to come by
Georgetown. Farmers and Others
are forever raising the cry of the
extortions and Determinations on
the part of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and the only remedy for ex-
isting evils IS conceded to be com
petition. Now there is an oppor-
tunity to secure it, an opportunity
to bring this vicinity and the
nearby sea coast close to Baltimo- c
one of the important business cen
tres of the country, and to Wash
ington, the centre of the political
and legislativeworld. 1t means a
great deal to us. 1t means lower
freights to Philadelphia, New York
and the West by the present route
1t means new and shorter con
nection with the wonderful Wesi
by way of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Shall we let this oppor
tnnity passi If we let this chance

We note with regret in the last
issue of the Journal an editorial
criticising Mr.. Higgins and the
Republican party in general for an
alleged corruption of voters by the
payment of the taxes of certain
unpaid taxables. To the general
criticism Of corruption we do not
object, hut to the conclusion and
application, we do. The "holier

fellow is all harm and bad and-w G
all good and without sin argument
is n too narrow one for our some
times liberal neighbor TO use.

nv IA united journalism to cry
down the existing evils of corrup-
tion and bribery in elections. But
as long rs we insist upon accusing
the other fellow of doing all the
harm when he well knows that we
are Just as bad as he, it will not re-
suit in bringing about an early So
luton of this important problem
The journal knows too well that
the Democratic party buys as
many votes on election day as is
possible, and the editor would
have no hesitancy in so acknowl-
edging to the writer in personal
conversation, so therefore why as
sumo such a different position be
fore the public. Certainly our es-
teemed neighbor is too broad
minded to seek to deceive its nn'
merous readers with the BELIEF
that his party buys no votes, seek
ing thereby to gain votes. VIII

In the matter of the United
States Senatorship from Delaware
it is safe to predict that fright
will prevail,u and from all we
know of the case this means that
Hon. I'll. A. DUPONT will be seated.
The case naturally turns on the
point: "Can a person elected as a
State Senator, who happens to sue
ceed to the position of Governor
from that of President of tho SEN
ate, act in the dual position of
Senator and Governors" 1t is at
least common sense to say that he
cannot be both Senator and Cover
nor, and the precedents of many
States establish this contention. 1t

of defeated candidate have asso
ciated themselves with those OPP

speedily settled, not upon political
lines, but upon the law, precedent,
