Accounting for Adam.

Up in Michigan a Sabbath school
superintendent, at the close OF an ad-
dress on the creation. which he was
sure he had kept within the compre-
hension OF the smaller scholars, smil-
ingly invited questions. A tiny boy
with white, eagar face and large brow,
at once held up his hand, "Please,
sir, why was Adam never a baby" :"
The superintendent coughed in some
doubt as to what answer to give, but a
little girl OF nine, the eldest OF several
brothers and sisters, came promptly
to his aid. "Please, sir" she said
smartly, "there was nobody to nusi
him !"

Could Not Re Resisted.

A story is told OF the way in which
a popular member OF Parliament was
once aroused to make a stirring ad-
dress. At the outset OF his political
career he had been known as re-
markably clever orator, and in several
political campaigns made a brilliant
name for himself. But when he be-
came an NJ. p. he ceased to speak,
much to the regret OF his friends and
admirers. Finally an important meas
ure came up for discussion, and the
wife OF friend OF the honorable mem
Der, who was much interested in its
passage, was disappointed to See that
the brilliant man had no apparent in
tention OF joining in the discussion.
She sat down and wrote few words
on sheet OF paper. which she in
closed in an envelope and sent to him
by messenger from the ladies gal
lery. When he opened it the M. +.
read: "Do speak Even Balasm's
ass spoke once!" This brought him
to his feet. and ELECTED one Of the best
speeches ever made in the house.

A Menu. Menn Man.

In the town OF Griffin, Ga, a good
looking, well.to-do bachelor was be-
ing teased by the young ladies Of q
club for not being married. He said :
"I'll marry the one Of you whom, on
a secret vote, you elect to be my wife,"
There were nine members OF the club.
Each girl went into corner and used
great caution in preparing her ballot
and Disgusting her handwriting. The
result OF the vote was that there were
nine votes cast, each girl receiving
one. The man remains bachelor,
the club Is broken up, and the girls,
all mortal enemies, united in the one
determination that they will not speak

AN INoERsOLL SERMON.

Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll is a great
lover Of happy homes. lie gets off
the following:
"The place to take the true measure
of man is not in the market place or
amen corner, not the forum or the
field. but at his own fireside. There
he laws aside his mask and you may
learn whether he is imp or angel, king
or cur, hero or bumbug. care not
a copper what his reputation or relig-
ion may be. II his babies dread his
home coming and his better half swal-
lows her heart every time she has to
ask him for five dollar bill. he's a
fraud of the first water, even though
he prays night and morn till he is
black in the face and shouts hallelu-
jah till he shakes the eternal hills.
But if his children rush to the front
gate to greet him, and loves own sun
shine illumines the face OF his wife
when she hears his football, you can
take it for granted he's true gold-his
homes heaven, and the humbug never
gets that near the great white throne
OF God. lie may be rank atheist
and red flag anarchist, and Nor
mon and mugwump; may buy votes
in blocks OF five and bet on the elec-
ton; he may deal 'em from the bot
tom and drink beer until he can't tell
A silver dollar from circular saw, and
still he's an infinitely better man than
the humbug who's all suayity,
but who makes his home hell-who
vents on the helpless heads OF wife and
children the i'll nature he would like
10 inflict on his fellow men, but dares
not. can forgive much in that fell
low mortal who would rather make
men swear than women weep; who
would rather have the hate OF the
whole world than the contempt of his
wife-who would rather call anger to
the eyes OF king than fear to the face
of a child.p

"Beauty and the Beast"

"The marriage OF beauty and the
beast" is the way the papers speak Of
the recent marriage Of Princess Hell
one of Montenegro, daughter OF Prince
Nicholas (or Nikita) OF that principal
ity, to Victor Emmanuel, Prince OF
Naples and heir apparent to the throne
OF Italy. The Prince is described as
a dwarf, measuring four feet in his
stocking feet, very homely, surly and
morose in disposition, violent temper
and weak constitution, while his wife
is very much taller, pleasant features
and very attractive. Verify, royalty
hath a hard road to travel. All the
splendor, all the titles, all the wealth
could hardly atone to the bride for
sacrificing her life in marriage with
one whom she surely cannot love or
respect or look up to, for judging from
the accounts she is very much his su-
perior in every way.

Dear Brother:-
The next annual meeting of the State
Alliance will convene at Harmonic Hall,

o'clock a. M. and will be the most i'm
portant meeting ever held in the state
IT the members of your Alliance are not
satisfied to take No. 2 for their NO 1
wheat, because the No. bins are full,
to pay ruinous freight rates. to be locked
several pounds on every buShel Of wheat
at the terminals, although the courts say
we must, and to pay tribute to the Irvine
trust, then be sure your Alliance is repre-
sented at said meeting.
The farmers of this state. aye of the
whole country, must unite and act now,
for who knows how long it will be before
some judgment will grant an injunction
to stop us from even talking about pro-
noting our own interests-the interests of
our class?
If you have not already done so. fail
not to have your Alliance meet not later
than January 10, 1896, and elect a dele
gate to said state meeting and provide
for his expenses. See that he is furnish
ed with credential signed by your pres

number of your Alliance.
Instruct your delegate to obtain a re-
ceipt from the agent where he buys his
ticket. as without this no reduction of
fare home can be had
Another important matter to which I

Of this. some of the principal creditors
who have the good of the order at heart

but remit what you can. as every nickel

have brought the country; and yet they
pirate about making war in the interest
of foreign Niggers and Indian half
breeds. BE sure, they will never risk
their own lives TO the shot and shell of
stern alarums."
Since the foregoing was written, cor
respondence on the Venezuela boundary
question, of a beligerent character. be-
tween our and the British government,
has come to light. Lord Salisbury denies
the claim OF the u. S that the question
in dispute comes within the purview of
what President Monroe claimed for his
1923 nOn-interference doctrine; he goes
farther, and declares that the Monroe
Doctrine" is not a factor in international
law, and therefore he tells Mr.. Olney to
say to his government that 6. 3. will
not arbitrate the boundary question with
Venezuela. Mr.. Cleveland sends the cor
respondence to Congress with a message
re-asserting our right TO interfere in be-
half of our little sister and recommends
the appointment of commission ito he
named by the executive" to examine and
report upon the boundary dispute; an APP
preparation is also asked for. Grover
would probably desire to put German and
Villas on such Il committee, in hopes of
killing them off in Venezuelan swamps.
In the meantime British diplomacy and
Venezuelan mpecuniosity, will have set
tied up the whole trouble John will get
his boundary conditioned upon releasing
her bogus claim of 100000 against her
victim for arrestinC q trespassing British

appropriation spent, viii tramp home. re-
port. and imperceptibly relapse into a
state OF political innocuous desuetude."
The Monroe Doctrine" will supplement
the exit Of the Maryland Hero of the
sugar Trust, and answer for the absence
Of the Badger Pine-land Thief.
Mr.. Cleveland admits in terms that
Venezuela may agree with Great Britain
upon boundary line. and that in such
a case the L. S. cannot object. True. he
talks about her free will" That is fus-
tian. Venezuela is not the fool to sign to
a boundary. and then whine her coer-
cion. In this admission, the whole ques-
ton is yielded by this government: under
It, Great Britain may acquire all South
America, Hawaii and Cuba. Why not?
II. without our consent, VeneZeula
chooses to give in to the unjust demands
Of G.. b. TO a part of her territory. She
may surrender it all; and what is true in
this respect. is true applied to the other
countries named. The Monroe Doctrine"
IS an Orphan,--a Democratic bastard. -
an after-hirth of the Holy Alliance"
which collapsed in 1890, when Louis Phil
ippe. in the French revolution Of that
year. succeeded Charles X, and ruled La
Belle Franco.
