She 1yantoh Pink cheeks.

There is girl on the North Side who admires pink cheeks, but she will be careful after this where she gets them On recent afternoon one of the carettes was being jogged over the holes in the pavement of Rush street. At Huron street the wagon was stopped, and young woman stepped in and took seat near the center of the car. She knew several of the women, and return cd their bows She was pretty girl, fashionably gowned, and was on her way to 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 woman spoke. When she reached the Auditorium, her cheeks were a good color, but not what she ex- pected.

Senator Jones has already sue ceeded in depositing Gov. Clarke in cavity, or more to the point, has put the Governor in a hole.
 Gov. Clarke, in his opening speech in Sebastian county, declared that the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill was a miserable makeshift, that it ben efted no one except the Sugar Trust, and that he would have preferred to let the Mckinley bill remain on the statute books in preference to vot- ing for it. And thereby hangs a tale. Gov.s Clarke is now sorry that he spoke. Senator Jones glad ly accepted the gauntlet thus thrown down to challenge his work in behalf Of the passage of that bill and replied by showing that the Wilson bill had reduced the tariff on 1000 articles, and that the ad- volorenp tariff was less than the Mills bill which had been indorsed by the National Democratic Convention, and that the sugar schedule, instead of benefting the Sugar Trust, was directly to the Trusts disadvantage and would add about $19, 900 900 Of revenue to the coffers of the National Treasury. He ascribed Gov. Glatke's declarations to ignorance, and straightway aOld Cotton Top" bowed his head while the audience app,auded. From published reports Gov. Clarke made no further allusion to his previously declared preference for the iniquitous Mckinley bill, and thus another one ot his props passed from under him like the foundation from under the house that was built on sand.

WHO CINDERELLA REALLY WAS.

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
 In Sacred Hindoo Books.
 The story of Cinderella is substantial ly the same as that told of Rhodopis and Psammitichus by Efan, who lived in Rome in the third century of the Christian era. The story. as told by Elian, is that while Rhedepis was bath ing. an eagle carried away one of her sandals and dropped it near the feet of Psammitiehus, king of Egypt. who, like Cinderella's prince, was struck by it's dilninutiye size, caused the maiden to be sought for, and married her when found. Make the sandal glass slipper and add the ugly sisters for the sake of contrast, and the stories are much the same. The glass slipper, by the way, is an acknowledged fiction, being in real fly mistranslation of "pantoufe en yair" Ga fur slipper), and not Zen verre.
 This, at all events, is what is claimed by Perrault in his 'tCentes de Fees ;" Both these stories have doubtless a com mon origin. but it is necessary to go further back ill the history of the litera- ture to find itz-to people who lived ill period compared with which that of even Elian is quite modern. It is ill the Vedas, the four sacred books of the Hin doos, that the origin is to be found.
 After what has already been said, it will not be surprising to learn that Gin derella is dawn maiden, her sisters being the powers of darkness, who compel her to wait upon them, keeping her hidden fromsight. The dawn maid en breaks from her bonds, and capti- yates the sun, remaining with him for time But she cannot finger with him i'll the heavens; she can remain only until a certain hour. Once she fingers too long, and, hurrying back, leaves on the path she has taken q token of her visit i'll the form of feeey cloud. which had borne her aloft when she left the regions of darkness. The sun, deter mined to find her, sends out his emia- saries (the rays of Eght), but does r ot find her until she appears before him as the evening twilight. In the Vedas the prince is called Mitra, which is one of the names given to the sun. n.--London Globe.

A uniaue nnsiness FaiIure.

The queerest failure ill Maine for years was that of B. B. Douglas of Bow doinham, who lives four miles from a village on country road, and yet man. aged to go up for $50 ,000. This unique merchants stock ill trade ranged from farms to anodyne hniment and from pins to moving machines, dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, grain. flour, groceries. crockery, cigars and tobacco, harness, and, in fact, anything and ev. erything which can be sold or bartered.
 He sold for very small profit, and gradually he worked up q large trade. people coming from far and near to trade with him. People have been known to journey 20 miles to buy groceries of Douglas at his farm store. If one wish. ed to get an insight into unique business methods, he should pay a visit to this curiosity shop. Imagine long, low farmhouse, sheds and outbuildings. In the shed were barrels of four, hogsheads of molasses, lard, pork. etc. In the va rions rooms of the house goods of divers kinds were piled on the floor and tables. In one room whips were piled foof deep. In the barn were wagons, car riages, sleighs, moving machines, etc. The result of this venture is not eneour- aging to the idea that the retailer ; profit can be dispensed with. Lewiston J0urnal
