Sick and Tired of the SluSh,


The talk about "hfty-cent dollars" is
neifier> intelligent. nor influential.
Ihsl@ is no such thing as II lirty-cent
dollar: either of paper, silver or gold.
Eacn dollar That complies with the H.
gal provisions authorizing it. is equal
to every OF Irs. dollar. The dem0neti-
Zation of skier .~rtHced the value OF
the IHetal asa co..>alOdity to an extent
that nnade The SI!vs'r in enc dollar
coin equal To @nly about fifty three
cents at present quotations. But silver
dollars are still II legal tender, except
where contract specifies gold.
To speak of iit'y cent dollar bet iays
either pitiable ignorance or u d-lIber-
ate intention To deceive somebody
Yet This Kind of "argument' IS all that
the advocates Of y single gold standard
have with which to defend their cause
They brought it INTO use too soon The
campaign is hardly began and Vet The
people are sick ami tired OF the absurd
falsehood already.
Long 6rfure the November elections
the talk about the "tftY-ct dollars
will entirely cease Indeed only lhnse
who are palpably indicent in morals
aud ideas use the expression now =

AID FOR INJURED CYCLISTS.
Bicyclists Gathering Points on First Aid in Case of Accidents.
Every Rider His Own surgeon-A De- scrYption of the Most Common Cycling Injuries and What should
 Be Done First.
tcoPYR1GHT. 1896.

Bicyclists have suddenly awakened to the fact that they are literally taking their lives in their hands while wheel ing through the crowded thorough fares of large cities and over steep hills in the country.
 The up-to-date cyclist is now taking time by the forelock and ascertaining what measures should be taken to af- ford themselves temporary relief in case of injury on the road. Even few min utes delay when an artery has been sev- cred may mean the death of. the rider. The Society for Instruction in First Aid to the Injured with headquarters in New York and branches in other cities, is turning it's attention especially fo in= structing bieyclists in helping them selves or their fellow-wheelmen in case of accident. Lectures will be given ill the fall before cycling clubs in which all forms Of road injuries will be dealt with. The recent terrible death of Mrs. Edna Fourier at Forty-ninth street and Mad ison avenue, New York, whose left leg was severed by a car, has caused sensa- tion in the ranks of riders in cities where like accidents may occur. and they have concluded that a little sur gieal knowledge will lessen the danger of riding At the time of the accident there were scores who stood mutely ny horror-stricl1en and sympathetic, yet unable to render any practical assist anee And this case is only one of many similar ones occurring in large cities.
 Here is list of the most common &C., cidents. and brief instructions for inn mediate assistance. If carefully studied and promptly applied, they may be the

THE GEAR IN A NEW LIGHT.
How He Answered s Philadelphia Chilt'a
 Letter.

Letter,
 In our conception of the moral char acter of the crowned heads of Europe we are not generally apt to accord them the possession of many of the gentler qualities. In fact, we are rather in- clined to imagine them as sadly defi- cient in colnity, tenderness of feeling, and many of the other qualities which help endear us to those with whom we como in contact.
 That such an opinion is an unjust one in one direction at least-may be gathered from the following little story:
 Some time ago the attention of q Philadelphia mother was attracted to her little boy by the fact that he lay full length on the library floor, evil dently deeply involved in the intrica' cies of letter-writing. All inquiries as to the purport and proposed destina- tion of the laborious production failed to elicit further remark than an advice to wait awhile" At last the missive ended with a serawling superseription and an immense sigh of relief, and 1t was proudly borne to the father and mother that they might be afforded an opportunity of expressing the entire appreciation, which was evidently ex- pected.
 Imagine their surprise when their eyes fell upon the following:
 Dear Czar-Since the death of your father you must have received a great deal of foreign postage stamps on let ters from your friends who were sorry for you. I am collecting postage stamps, and if you will please send me a good lot of yours I will send you some American ones in return"
 The parents at first laughed at the idea but the little man was so evidently pleased with this idea of his young brain thatathey finally determined to allow him to mail it, never imagining that it would really fall beneath the royal gaze.
 With both the parents and the child the thing was already fast becoming a thing of the forgotten past, when the mail of a few mornings ago brought the young fellow a rather bulky en- velope. bearing upon it the seal and arms of the royal house of Russia. To the little fellows delight he found, on opening it, that it was packed tight with stamps of all nationalities.
 The labored missiFe had evidently reached it's destination, and had spelled out to the heart of the man, in all the excitement of his coronation cere- monies, such a message of childish in- nocenee and trust as made refusal im- possible.-Philadelphia Ledger,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-07-12
Just Watch the Chickens.

On rainy morning a good deal of wisdom may be learned from the chick ems. If it is to be n soggy, rainy, drlz- zly day-all day-the chickens will get out and stand about in the rain with an utterly indifferent manner. They look just as human beings feel. And they keep it up all day. But if the rain is to continue but few hours the chickens will stay under shelter. They cannot be kept out. They hurry under cover when disturbed, and stay there til the fair weather eomes-which it does presently. And then they go out and enjoy the sunshine. The chickens know. If you see them out in the rain in the morning, make up your mind it will rain all day. If they avoid the rain in the morning, have hope. The sun will soon appear-Chicago Post

Riches Through Economy.

She was engaged in the laundering department at the Petit St. Thomas mart, and found her oppor- tunity in lot sales of damaged silks and odds and ends of maehine-made lace. She used at night to make up what she bought at these sales into cravats, jackets and ehildren's frocks, according to patterns she studied at the Petit St. Thomas. On her way in the morning to her work she sold them in market. She did so we'll that she had soon to get help, and then took a poky shop in the Rue de Bae, where the west entrance to the Bon Marche now stands. The rule was cheapness. Nobody was ever taken in In the tentative struggle she and her husband learned business without heavy risk. She could not be called an old woman when she died.
