HOW he CUT WOOD
The Trick Played by q Willy Tramp on an
Unsuspecfing Lady

A lady residing in the southeastern
part of the city had an experience with
a tramp the other day which has soured
her on that class of mendicants. The
fellow came around and begged for
something to eat, which was given him.
Have you any work that l can do?"
he asked, after satisfying his hunger.
We'll, you might cut that wood" said
the lady, pointing to a pile of four-foot
stove wood in the yard. How much do
you want for the job?'

well go ahead" she said
Shortly after that she had occasion to
go down town, and when she left the
house the tramp was industriously at
work Upon her return he had finished
Pointing at the wood pile he said proudly,
What do you think of that? Ever seen
an old man like me who could cut wood
as quick as that? Oh, I'm lightning
striker, I am"
The lady acknowledged that he was
fast worker, and promptly paid him his
money. Shortly after his departure she
went to the wood pile after some sticks,
and was surprised on removing a. few
of them to find that only the top layer
had been cut. The body of the woodpile
consisted of uncut four-foot pieces so
arranged as to leave large spaces be-
tween them. 1t was quite apparent
then that considerable of the wood had
disappeared ana that the remaining
sticks had been arranged in that way
so as not to show the pile had shrunk.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
some of the wood had been hidden under
q sidewalk, while other large sticks had
been concealed in various places around
the yard, and some of the fuel taken
into the woodshed. Yesterday the lady
CHANGED to see a giant stick on top of the
woodshed roof. She expects to happen
on other pieces here and there around
the premises for the next two months,
and would not be much surprised to find
that the tramp had wedged some of the
fuel in the chimney top.-Stockton Mail.

The Napoleon Idea.

Just now we hear Maj. McKinley's
name linked with that of Napoleon.
There was another Napoleon who not
many years ago thought he had a
grievence against the German Prov
inces. He supposing that the Ger
man forces were divided and were
working separately alone, declared a
war upon one of them. To his sur
prise and subsequent sorrow be was
met by a united force of his enemy,
who laying aside the petty differences
of narrow provincial boundaries,
stood shoulder to shoulder to meet a
common foe, The result of that war
is to the world known. In a very
short time the French forces we're de-
stroyed their King prisoner, and a
monarchy of the so.called higher
classes was changed to republic of
and for the people. Had Napoleon
known the strength Of his adversary
the Franco Prussan war would never
have been fought. The political sit
uation in the United States today is
somewhat similar to the conditions
that existed prior to the latter Napo-
Icons downfall AT present the
forces of gold are practically united
and under the leadership of Mai Nc
Kinley are preparing for the fight.
The forces of silver are possibly more
numerous but are ranging in line of
battle under separate flags, and under
different commanders. We have a
prohibition silver party, a republican
silver party, a democratic silver
party, and last and probably the
strongest the peoples party. Now
shall the silver men unite and under
the leadership of some good clean
general battle together, or shall the
party names keep them separated.
If they profit by the lessons of Napo-
Icons fate they will join hand to hand
and heart to heart, and with a COM
mon purpose in view, will come out
the victors. United we'll win, Ovid
ed We'll lose" The issue will be fl,
nance, and if the fight could be made
with all the gold men on one side and
the silver men on the other, the mat
ter will be settled more satisfactorily
than if one side is split up into frag-
ments. The silver men will find all
the gold men united nnder the Nc
Kinley banner, and they should make
their fight together.

Who Is Mr.. Hobart?

LeSlieS Weekly of New York has
the following regarding Mr., Hobart
the nominee of the republican party
for vice. president:
Mr.. Hobart has for nearly q quarter
of century been promin emily identl-
fed with the politics of the state, has
served with distinction in both bran
ches of the legislature, has been for
many years chairman of the republi-
can state committee, and also an &C.

national republican executive commit
tee, and is, in point of equipment, the
the equal of any of the gentlemen
who are named in connection with
this high office. His business re1a-
tions are national IN scope and ex-
tent; he is identified actively with
over forty corporations, many of
which sustain an important relation
to the industries and finances of the
country, and his business reputation
is SO high that he has been repeatedly
called to the discharge of fduciary
trusts of the greatest magnitude"

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading a newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious The family we're stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned a
physician. But it was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause. "-HoibroOb Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
Tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have a symptom of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness of
breath, huttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse smothering, weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.

of the political situation. The ap.
