Directions for Church Killing.

DO not attend the services, but ii
you should do so, go late.
Go determined to find fault with
something or somebody 1.-The music,
the preaching or the people.
Under no circumstances think 81
praying for the pastor. the services Oh
| the church.
Take no interest in any Of the parts
Of worship. but simply sit and while
away the time reading the hymn-book,
gazing about, whispering and smiling,
or If the minister is not too noisy, take
nap during the sermon.
Under no circumstances encourage
the pastor, but tell his faults to 9TH
ers, especially strangers whom you
may happen to meet.
Attend the services in other church
es at least half the time.
Never speak in commentator OF
the services to anyone, but be certain
at least TO intimate, especially to the
young, that the sermon was long and
dry, that you could have done so much
better, or at least as well, yourself.
Try not to believe in missions, and
never contribute much for the causes
Of benevolence.
Let the pastor bear the burden OF
the work, see that his salary is always
behind, and IL he can not promptly
pay his debts, intimate that you think
him somewhat dishonest.
Be careful not to take or read any
religious papers: on the contrary, con-
fine your reading to politics and fiction
even on the Sabbath.
Try to run the church, and when
matters don't go just to please you,
stay away, get angry and pout.
When everything seems to be nov.
| ing tremendously, try to do or say
something that will cause strife and
trouble.
If these suggestions are carefully
complied with, the results will most
likely be dead church, heart broken
pastor, and the killers soul in-perdi-
ton.

Mr.. Moses M. Taylor, Blackburn,

growth from the inner corner of each
eye grow up over the pupil, binding
him so he could not work. DIR. Sadler,

through Mr.. Samuel Harris, whom the
doctor had cured of the same thing.
Mr.. Taylor's eyes were perfectly cured
also.
Mr.. Geo. Meyers, Springdale, Pa,
had the same kind Of growth, which
had advanced to the danger line. By
the doctors operation, by his special
method, which after hundreds Of trials
has never failed, his eye is as perfect
as ever.
The doctor is wonderfully successful

Impulsive and outspoken as Blaine
was by nature, he gave no outward
sign of disappointment over his de-
feats in the conventions of 1876 and
1880. He could console himself in
those instances with the fact that
his rivals were also defeated, and
that dark horses carried off the
prize.
In his recent memoirs John Sher-
man makes no concealment of his
chagrin at his defeats in 1880 and
1883, particularly in the former year,
when he places the responsibility
upon General Garfield.

STOKES OF THE DAT.
How Some Presidential Candidates
Have Acted in Defeat.


There are few men who can bear
defeat with equanimity, particularly
when the lost prize is the greatest
to which man may aspire,
Consequently when Mr.. Reed ex-
pressed himself more forcibly than
politely at his recent defeat. with
some remarks as to the management
of the canvass by his friends, the
temporary ebullition ofrage was ex-
cusable.
He is not the first defeated aspir-
ant for nomination who has shown
temper over his loss, and there are
numerous traditions and anecdotes
still preserved showing how some of
them acted.
Henry Clay was candidate for
the presidency in 1924 and again in
1882, neither of which times had he
the least chance of election. But in
1910 the current had changed, and
it was evident the Wings were bound
to be successful. Clay, as the lead
er of his party, was entitled to the
nomination, and there is no doubt
that the rank and file of the party
eagerly wished him for their candi-
date But the politicians, Thurlow
Weed particularly, were opposed to
him, and looking around for an
available" candidate they pitched
upon General William H. Harrison.
The Wing convention met at Har-
risburg in December. 1889, to nomi-
nate candidates, and the names of
Clay. Harrison and General Scott
were presented. 1t is the universal
testimony that majority of the con-
yention were really in favor of Clay,
but owing to the extraordinary meth
cd of making the nomination-an in
vention of Thurlow Weekday was
defeated, and Harrison nominated.
Mr.. Clay was in Washington when
he received the news, and Henry A.
Wise has related his outburst of pas
sion and the storm of curses and
imprecations that he called down
upon every body connected with the
whole affair. Rising from his chair
and walking the room rapidly, lift
ing his feet like horse string halted
in both legs, he stamped upon the
floor exclaiming, my friends are
not worth the powder and shot it
would take to kill them He men
toned the names of several of them.
invoking upon them the most dread
full imprecations and then cried out,
IF there were two Henry Clays, one
of them would make the other presi-
dent Of the United States"
Clay sulked for time, but soon
relented and gave unwavering sup
port to General Harrison. His SUI
perb oratory carried everything be-
fore it in the long and hilarious cam
paign of 1910.

In fact, the blow FASTENED his
death, and he died the following Oc-
tober, several weeks before the cleo
ton.
Prior to his death he said to Mr.,
Harvey that General Scott would not
carry six states; that the people
knew he would be mere puppet in
in the hands of the New York Wing
regency controlled by Weed and Sew
ard, and he added: 'sThe people of the
United States will never entrust their
destinies and the administration of
the government to the hands of Will
liam H. Seward and his associates.
Mr.. Seward is an able man, but sub.
tie and INSCRIPTIONS, and will make
everything bend to the one idea of
making himself president of the
United States
The words were prophetic. Scott
only carried four states, and eight
years later, when Seward thought
he had the nomination within his
grasp, it was snatched from him at
the moment of his anticipated vic
tory.

Daniel Webster was standing
candidate for presidential nominal
ton from 1886 unfit 1852. In 1886
he was nominated by his own State,
Massachusetts, and received its cleo
toral vote, but no other. In 1910
Harrison carried of the honors and
in 1874 Henry Clay, but in 1913
there was chance for Webster, but
again Thurlow Weed used his fine
Italian hand" and under the old
plea of availability secured the NOM
ination of General Taylor.
This angered Webster and he did
not hesitate in expressing himself
"A nomination not fit to be made, he
said in a public speech, but he was
finally brought into line, and made a
number of speeches in behalf of the
Wing ticket.
But it was in 1852 that he exhib-
tied his keenest disappointment and
gave expression to his feelings.
| 1t will be remembered that his IA
nous 7th of March speech in adyo-
cacy of the compromise measures of
1850 had estranged the northern
Wings, and it was charged that his
! speech was bid for southern sup
port.
When the Wing convention met at
Philadelphia in 1852, the candidates
were Fillmore, Scott and Webster,
and not single vote from the south
was cast for Webster. He received
the lowest vote of all the candidates,
and Scott was finally nominated. 1t
was the severest blow Webster had
ever received in his long public ca
reer.
When the Mississippi delegation
called upon him in Washington on
their way home, he told them he was
not surprised at not receiving a sim
gle southern vote-s'not one'-in the
numerous ballotings and regretted
they had deemed it necessary to treat
him in such manner. OF course he
must submit but it is impossible for

one Of the reasons why the ores OF
bessemer grade should not be thrown
away, even if they are close to surface
and can be readily obtained.
The ore men have been holding
meetings 10 talk over combination
for the regulating Of the output for
the present year, the Gogebic ores
being taken as basis for the appor-
tioning of other districts. With
reference TO the price that will be
asked there has not been a conclusion
reached as yet. The combination
will probably include the Mesabi
range the coming year, as il has taken
an important position in the market.
The Mesabi mine operators claim that
they did not make cent last year
despite the big amount marketed,
and they are DESTROYS Of joining in a
movement to secure a living rate.
The restricting OF shipments would
tend to this result.
The losses il mining operations
have been very great the past three
years. Three per cent. has been
better average than the companies
have realized, and this certainly is
not sufficient for business in which
there are SO many Chances to lose.
Escanaba still retains its place at
the head of the list Of shipping ports
nearly reaching the three million
mark. Marquette shows a consider
able falling of as compared to its
record for 1894, this being due to the
long period Of idleness on the Mar
quette range last summer. With the
addition of the new railway this port
should show a considerable gain next
season.
In looking over the list Of shippers
one readily recognizes the fact that
the bulk Of the product is contribute
ed by very few concerns. The Min
nesota Iron company and Lake Su-
perior Consolidated, of the Mesabi:
the Metropolitan Land & Iron COM
pany and Penokee s. Gogebic Devel-
opment company. of the Menominee
range: the CleVeland-Cliffs company.
Lake Angeline company and Lake
Superior IRON company. of the Mar
quette range, mine the great bulk of
this enormous tonnage, and are there
fore in position to demand living
price for it. 1t seems TO be the height
of waste TO market these ores at the
ridiculous figures of the past few
years. By determined effort the
mine owners can obtain a legitimate
return for their money and labor. and
they certainly should stand out for it.
Unless it is done the cream Of the ore
deposits will soon be SKINNED of
without beneftting these who have
labore0 SO hard in developing the
mines, for the fine bessemers viii not
last forever.
