A gentleman was visiting q Scotch
lunatic asylum where new premises
were being added. The inmates were
assisting. On seeing one Of the latter
wheeling q barrow upside down from
the building TO the stones. the visitor
asked him why he wheeled it in that
manner. "Oh, said the lunatic. that :
the best way" The visitor took the
barrow, and turning it right side mp
said, ''Fhis is the proper way. +"

Tho Poet Never localized the Work Of the
Wage Banner. e il
Tennyson gave the. world pictures Of
some of the fairest feminine crealions

and trustful; womanly women, loyal
and companionable; devoted wives, gen

Tennyson' 8 conception OF woman and

His burlesque Of wolnan's rights in

of the weaker sex He understood the
right relations Of the man and the wonl-

A link among the days, TO knit
The generations each with each.
No other poet has done more to glorify
the maternal sentiment or tn make the
family relation sacred. Woman's work,
as he conceived it, is not only training

On last Wednesday evening as the
board of commissioners was about
to adjourn for the day most remarka-
BILE scene was enacted. A good re-
publican editor, Luther Axllne by
name, appeared before the board
and informed them that if any reduc-
ton or rebates in taxes were to be
made he wanted to know it so that he
might be able to reap the benefits there
of. He went on to relate his financial
incapacity and was truly an object OF
pity to those hearing his pitiful wall.
And all this from a republican editor
who for these many years "pointed
with prlde'' to the ''best financial sys,
tenn the world ever had" who for SO
long years lived under g. o. p. rule,
who has seen and experienced the
workings of the glorious protective tar
iff system in every way, shape and
form; who has reaped the fruits OF
nothing but pure republicanism and
who has been proclaiming the blessings
of unparalleled prosperity to the PEG
pie of this country under republican
rule. and who still clings to the Golt
standard protective tariff as the fonG
