The NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

Ed Page, a republican travelingman
who resides at PbiIhpsburg, was in the
city Monday. He said: Mccormick
is q very strong man in Phillips county,
and is very much better man than
Ellis" He also said that Mccormick is
an excellent campaignsr aud be pre-
diets his election ankato Advocate.
-
The reform papers of the district are
paying a splendid tribute to McCor-
mick as a reformer, and all the repubi-
cen organs can say against him is, that
he is a silver crank and pOpulist, two Of
the highest recommendations a man
can have in this day and generation.
A silver crank is the next thing to an
angel, and a gold crank is the devil

Judge Mccormick, of Phillips coun-
ty, the peoples party nominee for con-
gresham in the Sixth district. is by
profession lawyer. Upon inquiring
Of a farmer as to his qualifications for
a congressman, the farmer answered:
swell. he will make a good one. Mack
is not afraid of work. He used to run
threshing machine and was one of
the best threshers I ever knew, and the
nomination of Mack means that the re-
publican nominee will get the cleanest
threshing next fall, he ever had in his
life. "-Osborne News.

n. B. Mccormick is an old soldier
having enlisted when he was but boy
and after the war was over found him
self without a calling and with but little
education, He went to work farming,
and for several seasons run a threshing
machine, but during all this time he
was studying hard preparing himself
for a legal profession. To-day he
stands at the head of the bar of Phil
lips county. While he undoubtedly
has his faults, the fact that he has re-
peatedly been elected to positions of
trust, frequently running far ahead of
his ticket, is evidence that he is a man
in whose ability and integrity the peo-
pie have confidence. In this conVen-
ton he had the solid support of the
Phillips county delegation, and rep1b-
licans from that county with whom we
have talked say he will carry the county
by an overwhelming majority.-Man-

There is a girl ON the North Side who
admires pink cheeks, but she will be
careful after this where she gets them.
On a recent afternoon one of the carettes
was being logged over the holes in the
pavement Of Rush street. At Huron
street the wagon was stopped, and a
young woman stepped in and took "a
seat near the center of the car. She
knew several Of the women, and return
ed their bows. She was a pretty girl.
fashionably gowned, and was ON her
way to a public rehearsal. After sitting
quietly for a few minutes, she, in an
apparently unconscious manner, put her
hand to her cheek and gave it a slight
pinch. On her hands were black gloves.
The day was damp and the slightest
trace possible of the color was left on
her cheek. Then she pinched the other
one. A black spot showed. This she
continued until Adams street was reach
ed, and never a woman spoke. When
she reached the Auditorium, her cheeks
were a good color, but not what she ex-
pected. Chicago Chronicle.

Sang In the Choir For Eighty Years.

In the last IL years Of Mr.. Starman's
ministry at Waldborough's famous old
German Lutheran church no salary was
paid, the congregation being too poor.
Old Conrad Hyer, who, although 101
years old. was as brisk as a man Of so.
and had acted as chorister in this an
oient church for 80 years, reading and
singing from the fine print Of Watts

the ~sojourn Of these men but the dilapi-

OF Contemporaneous Human Interest.

Augustin Daily has given one phrase
to American literature that, whatever
may be its defect as logical statement,
has taken such deep root i'll current
English that it is doubtful whether it
can possibly be eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. The phrase is,
"Of contemporaneous human interest. +"
Mr.. DAILY employed it originally in de-
soribing one Of his adaptations of the
piaybill. The literary critics scored the
phrase unm ,rcifully at the time and
tried to ridicule it out Of existence, but
it seems that despite the irresistible
conclusion that no play could possibly
possess any interest for trees or cattle as
distinguished from "human" creatures
Mr.. DAILY had filed long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas-
ing frequency. Doubtless every one who
uses it does SO under mental process
charging the responsibility on Daily, but
it is one of those winged phrases that
drops in like an old time friend whose
clothes are not above criticism. w ash-

"You have heard of the railroad dog,
Of course" said Cy Warman. Every
body has. but I'll venture to say that
you never heard Of railway cat. Well,
I used to have one. You know used
to fire ON the Rio Grande Western. I
got mixed up with one of those big
mountain climbers in wreck one time,
and after that quit the business cold
and turned poet. Well, now for tho tab

"You know the exploits Of the rail-
road dog have been recounted in divers
places-how he saved train and the
lives Of the passengers from fathom-
less pit or a dark yswning abyss and all
shat. Those are all stories Of the rail-
reader, Of which the dog Is the hero Of
.he hour. My yarn IL not like those old
stories, for pussy was too well trained
to do anything 80 rash as to save train
and thereby endanger her own life. In
the first place, puss was pet Of the
Iandlady where most of the railroad
men boarded, and in consequence the
Cat took liking to railroading.
''She was q remarkable traveller, and
she preferred the tender Of freight To-

the train would have long wait at q

She was great favorite and always had
the best the house afforded. She was q

and W hen the engine was running down
The steep grades Of the mountains she
would hold her place On the top Of the
tender with all the grace and dignity
imaginable, and if the wind vas blow

Soap Bubbles.
RI. Iasrn has communicated to the
Academy Of Sciences q new method for
obtaining soap bubbles lasting a much
longer time than those obtained from
the soap water generally used. He has
recourse to resinous soap made by the
following formula: Pulverize together
10 grams Of pure rosin and 10 parts
Of carbonate of potash; add 100 parts Of
water and boil until complete solution.
We obtain in this way a thick solution
which may be kept in stock to be diluted
for use with from four to five times it's
volume of water. 1t can oe kept indef1.
nitely even when exposed to the air. The
bubbles produced are very persistent and
consequently CAN be made useful i'll tho
study of phenomena relating to thin
laminm and in making photographs in
which soap bubbles play part.

Edna Lyall's "Drean Children"

The famous English authoress,
Edna Lyall, writing of her life and
early literary influences and work in
The Ladies' Home journal, says:
From the early days of my author
ship up to the present time there
has always been a story on hand,
and writing has become SO much a
part of my life that it is difficult
quite to understand what life with
out a vocation would be like or how
people exist without dream chill
dren.' They cost one much suffer
ing and bring many cares and anx-
ieties. They are not what we could
wish, and we are conscious of their
faults. Still they are our dream
children, and when they cheer the
dull or interest the overworked,
there comes a glad sense that it has
all been worth while, and we are
thankful that the gift was given us. u

Well Timed Puns.

A we'll known clergyman in a
southern state is IN inveterate pun
ster. He often says that while he
is we'll aware that puns belong to
the lowest order of wit he is seldom
able to resist the temptation to
make one when opportunity offers.
On one occasion after preaching
an eloquent sermon he was mot by
two friends, one of whom began to
praise his discourse in enthusiastic
terms. When he paused for breath,
the other man said, with a laugh:
well, doctor, can you stand US
much soft soap as that?"
Indeed I can if there isn't too
much lye in it," returned the min
lister quickly.
At another time he was present
at the marriage reception of a young
couple of the name of More. The
occasion was somewhat stiff up to
the time of the minister's entrance,
and he quickly discovered the state
of affairs.
MADAM" he said. with his radi-
ant smile, addressing the awk ward
young bride, "how fortunate you
are! There r SO few people who
car say with truth, The More
want the More I have"

company at ease.-Youth's Compan.
