IL is observed that Senator Pasco OF Flor

Cubans, and the Armenians and the south

about in the papers. He is quietly trying
to do something for the good OF Florida

fully to induce the government 20 take
hold Of the pest and rid the river Of It. His
efforts win be worth to his state more

Avoiding omce.eeker..

It Is said that Mayor Mckinley is in
Chicago to get little relief from the office
seekers, who besieged him in crowds at
Canton. If he does not adopt different
policy in dealing with those who seek fav-
ors from him he will not have time to
write his inaugural address. AT Canton
they begin to arrive at his house before he
is out of bed, and they stay with him until
midnight or later. They don't hand him
their applications for the offices they want
and Immediately depart. They insist upon
telling him their experiences in the cam
paign and making him understand that he
would not have been elected in all proba
bility if it had not been for their personal
exertions in his behalf.
Mr.. Mckinley made a mistake at the
very outset in dealing with the office
seekers. He insisted upon hearing what
each one of them had to say and in treat
ing them all with the greatest courtesy
The mistake was not in treating them
with courtesy, but in listening to their
campaign experiences and receiving their
applications for the positions they want
just as if he were an appointment clerk
Neither a President or a President-elect
has time to waste in any such manner.
The average office-seeker is so anxious TO
make a good impression that he never
knows when he had said enough. He
makes himself a nuisance without intend
ing to do so,
OF the hundreds of orfice-seekers who
have visited the President-elect at Can
ton and filed their applications for office
with him, not one in ten will be remem-
bered probably when the time comes for
distributing the offices. 1t is doubtful if
Maj Mckinley gives a second thought to
the applicants after they have left his
presence
Just at present he has more important
matters to attend to than the distribution
of offices. The formation of his cabinet is
occupying his mind. AS yet he has not
invited any one to accept a cabinet place
except Mr.. Hanna, and it is not certain
that he will accept the invitation. There
will be some definite information in respect
to the cabinet probably Immediately after
the holidays. but it will be pretty well
along towards March before it will be
known who is to compose the cabinet. In
the meantime. If the President-elect values
his peace of mind and his health, he will
give the office-seekers the cold shoulder

The Georgia House has passed a bill
which would seem to open a way for an
other office, and one which might well be
held by woman. The bill to prevent the
adulteratien of candy is referred to. In
order to carry out the purposes of the bill.
in case it should become law, it would
be necessary to have an inspector of can
dy, or candy commissioner of something
of the sort, vested with power to take and
test samples. What snap the office
would be for matinee girf!

The railway train, the trolley and the
bicycle have not displaced altogether the
modes of travelling employed in the early
part of the present century. The prairie
schooner" is still in commission, and is
doing good traffic. Numerous fleets of
prairie schooners" have arrived at the
thriving Georgia colony-town of Fitzger-
aid within year, and others are at pres
ent en- route to the south from the far
northwest Only few days ago twenty
ocd covered wagons laden with immi-
grants from Wisconsin arrived at Hunts
vile, Ala, having driven through since
Oct 10, and more are coming. People
who travel 1000 miles or more in that
manner are the kind of people to build
up country. The "prairie schooner" is
a noble craft; long may she foat!
The shoe-making town of Lynn, Mass,

"a silver democrat and populist," whatever
that may mean, was elected mayor. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Bryan sent Ramsdell a
telegram of congratuation, telling him
that at length Lynn had put the shoe on
the right foot" 1t transpires, by the
way, that whisky, as well as silver, was an
issue in the campaign. The town has been
"dry'' for number of years. Ramsdell was
the candidate of the liquor element and
stood for granting licenses to saloons;
and Ramsdell and whisky won. OF course,
Mr.. Bryan did not know this when he was
congratulating Lynn upon having put the
shoe upon the right foot

The uNpgRTAkER,s SONG.

The 1sumptive Man Failed to Appreci-
at, the Old Melody.
On rth lark street there is an nm
dertaker whose face and bearing are pc
culiarly adapted TO his business--tall,
thin, with a countenance habitually
thoughtful, almost melancholy. and in
addition his shoulders stoop, which aids
in giving him the air Of a man who is
burdened with his own or other peoples
sorrows. But behind the mournful ex
terror there lies a quiet humor, a little
grewsome perhaps, but humor neverthe-
less
This undertaken boards at hotel just
across the street, and not long since as
he walked into the Office one evening
about dinner time he observed leaning
against the end of the desk a cadaverous
looking man whom his experienced eyes
informed him was rapidly approaching
the last stages of consumption. AS he
passed the desk he remarked in an I'M
dertone to the clerk, "I'll get that fell
low pretty soon. -
Having finished his dinner, he return
ed to the office, and seating himself in
one of the chairs where he could watch
the door of his establishment he fell in
to dreamy mood. Perhaps it was MEM
cries of younger days made him senti-
mental At all events he began hum
ming some old ballads The tune of the
old song, 'I'm Waiting, My Darling,
For Thee, " came TO his mind He hum
med it over again and again, trying to
recall The words. A man seated i'll front
of him seemed to be growing restless.
Suddenly the words came to him, and
in louder tone he sang the first meas
IRE, I'm waiting, my darling, for
thee. 4" That was as far as he got. The
man in front turned round--it was the
consumptive-his bright eyes flashing as
in husky but angry tones he said, 81
can take joke as well as any man, but
when an undertaken sits behind me and
sings I'm Waiting, My Darling, For
Thee. it's altogether too much. The
undertaken arose slowly, and his face
resumed its mournful expression as he
walked out of the door and toward his
place of business. Chicago Times-Her-

cuRFEw TIDE.

The thrushes sing ii every tree;
The shadows long and longer grow;
Broad sunbeams lie athwart the lea;
The oxen low;
Round roof and tower the swallows slide:
And slowly, slowly sinks the sun,
At eurfew tide,
When day is done.
Sweet sleep, the nighttine's fairest child,
Ger all the world her pinions spreads;
Each flower beneath her influence mild
Fresh fragrance sheds;
The owls, on silent wings and wide,
Steal from the woodlands, one by one,
At curfew tide,
When day is done.
No more changing the rookery rings
With voice of many a noisy bird:
The startled wood doves gathering wings
No more are heard;
With sound like whispers family sighed,
Soft breezes through the treetops run,
At curfew tide,
When day is done.
So may it be when life is spent. Va,
When neer another sun can rise,
Nor light one other joy present
To dying eyes;
Then softly may the spirit glide
To realms of rest, disturbed by none,
At curfew tide,
When day is done.

Clover should always be fed upon the
