Politics Will Not Interfere.

People will continue to go and see the Private Secretary, as long as it continues to visit us. This is a pre- concerted surety-Republieans, Dem oerats, Populists and the ladies. God bless them, will be on hand Mon. day night when Mr. Travers, and his powerful company of commedians appear at the Opera House in the famous comedy For the time being the silver question and the sound money issue will be forgotten, as will all other perplexing issues. Everybody for once in a political year will be united and the unanimous verdict is sure to be that the Private Secretary is unquestionably the greatest and funniest comedy on the road.

Facts Familiar.

The newspaper that pleases every body has not yet been printed, re- marks an unidentified exchange. People are quick to take offense at an item that is contrary to their views, and too easily forget any favors shown by their home paper. There is q certain amount of consid- eration and charity due to every body, and the publisher of the local paper should not be exempt. He is human, and has feelings like other people. If everybody were to culti- Yate and practice the virtues, people would understand each other better and enjoy life more.

Bread, we think, Is tine most curious
material out of which clock has ever
beon constructed. There was, and may
still be, in Milan clock made of
bread. The maker was native Of
Milan, quotes Ilarper's Round Table,
who devoted three years of his time to
the task. lie was very poor, and being
without means to purchase the neces-
sary metal for the making of a clock,
he set apart regularly portion of his
bread each day, eating the crust and
saving the soft part. To solidify this
he made use of certain salt, and
when the various pieces were dry they
became perfectly hard ana insoluble in
water. The clock was of good size and
kept fair time.
Another strange clock was exhibited
some years ago in Liverpool. II was
constructed Of pins, buttons and all
sorts of odd and ends by pauper
named Mercer The maker of this ex-
traordinary timepiece thus describes it
himself: The back and front of the
clock were made from iron bed -laths,
while the barrel was part of large
brass ferule, the ends being brass but
tons hammered out. The barrel arbor
had originally been the blade of a
shoemaker's awl; the main and several
other wheels were nothing more nor
less than suspender buttons from the
makers own trousers, while the cog
teeth were portions of bygone knitting
needles. The teeth of the centre wheels
had been boot-rivets. In the dial there
were 100 separate pieces

Kind-hsarted President Faure.


Felix Faure, President Of the French
Republic, has made the hearts of many
of the little girls of his country beat
with joy. 1t is one of his practices to
devote at least two mornings week to
visiting hospitals. His visits arc not
of the hasty order, but much tho other
way, as he spends time passing through
the different wards especially among
the sick children. One of his favorite
questions is to ask the little unfor-
tunates what he can do for them, and
in the case of little girls the answer is
invariably une poupee Ia doll. Then
with a kind hearted smile President
Faure takes out his pad and pencil and
writes down the child's desire. The
next morning usually finds several
boxes Of dolls at the hospital, all of
them very handsome. II is said that
his generosity has already cost him
over one thousand dolls since he has
occupied the Presidential chair.

Refusal to Ray the Heavy city Zee Brings
out the Fact That the Orainace Appears
Unconstitutional.
George Drake was arraigned in the
municipal court Friday morning on the
charge Of practiCing auctioncering
without having taken out a city license
of sl50. Waiter II, Hayes represented
DGase. CRY Solicitor IIarman stated
that III hls opinion the city ia at fault
in imposing such license, the init
nation being that the ordinance is un
constitutional, and on his recommenda-
tion Drake was dismissed. MIR. HAYES
was prepared to demonstrate wherein
the ordinance s unconstitutional. He
stated to reporter of The Gazette
after adjournment of court that the
city has no right to impose any such
tax as $50, but could properly require
a nominal license of something like $40.
Mr.. Hayes also stated that tho ordi.
nance is again ut fault in that il dis
eliminates against persons ana permits
only bona tiCle residents Of the State to
become licensed auctioneers.
1t Is quite probable that City Solici-
tor Harman will now recommend ia
City Council that the ordinance rn.
lating to auctioneers be so altered AS
to be constitutional Several local
auctioneers have heretofore paid ibo
tax without objection.

Is the Rabbit a Coward.

N. y. Recorder.
Here is little talk between a boy
who is great hunter for his age and d
lady of his acquaintance, which shows
that cowardice sometimes depends
upon the way things are looked at:
' A rabbit" said the young hunter,
is the most awful coward that there
is in the world. My! How he does
run from hunter -
SO you think the rabbit is a
coward?''
"Why, of course. -
Well, let us suppose q little.
Suppose you were about six or eight
inches tall" Z"
"Well?"
"And had good strong, swift legs. .
Eyes. -
And didn't have any gun, and q
great big fellow came after you, who
did have one. What would you do?"
What should do? should streak
il like lightning. .
i think you would. and 1 think,
too, that you would have your OWE
ideas as TO who was the coward.'
