memorable in the history of the world,
If but part of the plans OF the United
States Government and European ma
lions is carried out. In the United
States there viii be the liveliest presi-
DENTAL campaign ever held, and the
54th congress, now in session, will furn-
ish exceedingly interesting debates on
the tariff and financial questions until
June. There viii be several exciting
State elections and many great political
speeches, Everyone will watch with
interest the progress of the Venezuelan
Commission's inquiry, the results of the
wars in Cuba, in South Africa, in Tur-
key, and the outcome OF other eompli-
cations now arising in the Old World.
II l. remarkable coincidence that at
the beginning of year OF such rich
promise of stirring news the greatest
metropolitan newspaper in the United
States-The st. Louis Republic-should
reduce its price to $500 year, or to
less than two cents day. This low
price now places The Republic within
the reach of everyone. Those who wish
TO keep posted on politics. trade, ma
tional and international affairs during
1896 should at once subscribe for it on
these easy terms, in addition to taking
their own local paper.

they cannot afford to take metropolis

periodicals, is an original one OF Thomas
Jefferson, which is somewhat in the
line OF others related of that states
mans simplicity of habit.
When Jefferson was Vice President
he was once travelling from Philadel-
phia to Washington, and when night
came on he had reachd Baltimore. He
rode up to the chief tavern there, which
was kept by Scotehman named Boy
den. As he had ridden nearly all day
over muddy road, he was travel
stained; and for that matter his ordi-
nary dress did not much suggest the
man of fashion.
Boyden was at his desk when Jeffer-
son came in. Several young s'bucks"

ing whip. and winked knowingly. Boy
den glanced up and concluded that the
stranger was some rough farmer whose
presence would be no credit to the inn.
Jefferson said:
Have you room for me??n

self, If / can get it,

Meantime, he was recognized and was
accompanied TO another inn-the Globe
tavern.
A few moments afterward man came
IN 70 Boyden's and said to him:
did you know that gentleman who
Just rode away from here?''
'Gentleman!'' said Boyden. There
was no gentleman here only farmer,
q common looking country fellow. Il
told him we had no room for such chaps
as he's
The caller laughed. SWELL, he
said. ''that was the Vice President OF

''Murderl" What have doue?n
shouted Boyden. He called all his SER
wants to make ready room in his best
style and despatched one of his friends
to lind Mr.. Jefferson, make apologies
to him and invite him to return. The
mistake which Boyden had made was
humbly explained to him.
Mr.. Jefferson said to the messenger:
Tell Mr.. Boyden appreciate his kind
intentions, but l have engaged rooms
now, and if he had no room for the
muddy farmer. he can have none for
