Phelim McCaul was not in a particu-
tarly good humor as he strobe along the
rough mountain path whistling fac
tion tune between his teeth and cutting
savagely at the wayside brambles that
shivered in the sharp east wind, which,
appropriately enough, was heralding
the Lenten season down the famous Gap
of Dunloe.
Judged from Mr.. McCauTs standpoint,
the situation was a tantalizing one.
Here he was, man of "a, with tidy
bit put by, snug farm and no incum-
brance whatever, actually unmarried
this blessed Ash Wednesday eve, and
likely to remain so during the coming
IL months, all owing to the unreason-
ableness of one Thady O'Rafferty,
whose daughter. Mollie, Phelim sought
in marriage, the negotiations having
been broken off that very evening for
positively the last time.
Had Phelim been a trifle older, or a
tr;le more philosophic, he would have
probably told himself the disappoint-
ment was simply blessing in disguise,
but, being still young and not at all u
philosopher, he chafed fercely at the
broken match and heartily cursed M.
O'Rafferty as he went.
Absorbed in bitter reflections, he did
not hear the approaching rattle of gig
wheels behind, and it was not until
friendly voice had thrice shouted his
name from lungs rendered stentorian
by mountain air that Phelim knew he
had fellow traveller on the road. Thus
challenged, he faced around and rec
ognizing his interlocutor as an ac-
quaintance named Lanigan, who rented
a farm mile or SO from his own place,
came to halt.
"Yerrah, Phelim, boy, where are We
goin' at that rate this hour O. night?"
asked the newcomer, accommodating
his horses pace to that of the young
man as they moved forward together.
"Sure, thought it's down colloquing
with Mollie O'Rafferty ye'd be this min
nit instead of flynn all over the country
like thistledown-"
"That's all off now," replied Phelin,
sulkily, not well pleased at Lanigan's
observation, but too true an Irishman

lovers themselves as they sat hand in
hand under the fostering smiles of Mr..
Lanigan, while he pelted the amorous
swain with appropriate badinage.
The good father, who had been that
very evening anticipating a "cold
shrove," was no forbidding figure in
this scene of Arcadian felicity, and after
some passages of decorous hilarity, the
mystic knot was tied, and Phelim Nc
Caul, though he had entered the house
only an hour before bachelor, found
himself pledged for life to Catherine
PhilOmena Lanigan.
This important ceremony having
been transacted, the home of the Ian
igans became perfect focus of gaiety,
a few neighbors and blind piper,
whom very instinct had led to the spot,
keeping the impromptu merry-making
afoot.
Father Pat, quaint figure not desti-
tute of certain pathos and dignity
amid this somewhat boisterous jollity,
presided in the parlor, and gave ''tone"
to the rejoicings; now praising Cissy's
pancake, now joking with the young,
now gossiping with the old, and later
on taking hand at quiet game of
as" with Lanigan, the bridegroom, and
one Corney OLoon, a clerical student,
a cousin of the family. Finally, it was
he who proposed the health of the new
welded pair, in an extempore speech,
winding up with neat little quotation
from Martial, which Mr.. GLOON
promptly mistranslated, to his own
great confusion, but the unmitigated
satisfaction of his relations who secret
~ believed him to be a far superior
scholar to the parish priest, and soon
after Father Pat took his departure, go
ing back to his lonely house, the richer
by ten pound note and a fresh expert
ence in the ways of humanity.
When the priest had gone, dancing
commenced in the great kitchen. Mrs.
McCaul did not, however, take part in
the proceedings, but quietly retired to
her room, while Peggy footed it with
the most hopeless detrimental in the
parish to the tune of the wind That

stairs in great huff. slack Lanigan,"
he shouted, "come here if yer's mani"

served Lanigan, cheerfully, "tis light

"See here" roared the deluded BRIDE
groom, ''why did We give me that girl in
side with wan leg longer than the
other?"
'Sure, didn't you see herr" retorted
the father-in-law, "an' didn't you

Fhelim, his eyes sparkling, "but didn't
know she limped an why didn't you
tell me?"

replied the other, genially, "but didn't
know twas to run races you wanted

That was all. The two men stared at
one another the fraction of second;
then Phelim went back into the nuptial
chamber and closed the door gently.
Then he found the limp consisted of

Most medical men consider that .

more harm than good to any but per.

The sensible thing to do is to see that
the temperature of the water in cold
weather is not lower than that of the
air. A daily bath is most healthful, but
it should not be so cold as to give a

This is the season Of the year when the
artist, amateur or otherwise, goes forth to
see nature as she is and try to depict some
OF her many beauties. With folding easel,

seeks out hooks which appeal to his fancy
and provides himself with sketches to work
up during the winter. The most attractive

through the most beautiful portion of the
Northwest, where infinite variety is pre-
scented. The Duluth Short Line, as this line
Is generally known, is noted not only for its
picturesque region and its countless sap

route between st. Paul, Minneapolis. Du-

points. Its facilities and characteristics
are such as to appeal to the business man,

LaboTing men who want to know what
cheap money and plenty of it's means
to them, should study the situation in
The republic of Colombia. In 1885 the
Congress passed law making paper
mcaay payable in gold or silver legal
tsndcs for all debts; and the result is
thus given by our minister in letter to
the New Eark World:
In the department. of Panama paper
money is not used, silver being the only
medium of circulation, the result being
that silver in the other departments has
antireiy gone out of circulation, and
paper is the only money used.
II one goes to market in Bogota and
offers silver for his dinner it is refused.
AS exchange is lower in Panama than
in other parts of the country, SPECTATORS
buy all the silver they can find at a pre-
MUM OF from i've to ten per cent and
send it Panama and make a profit.
Now. to show the effect of this upon the
people Of Colombia. / will give certain
facts that are we'll authenticated.
In 1885, when gold WAS at premium
of 20 per cent, the wa ges of workingmen
on the plains of BogotR were 40 cents a
day, and in the hot country 80 cents
day. At the present time wages are 80
and 90 cents respectively, an advance of
90 per cent. All provisions have increased
in cost about 200 per cent. Meats at
that time were selling for from 10 to Is
cents PER pound; at the present time
they sell for 40 and 80 cents.
House rents have increased from 100 to
200 per cont. Small tenements, such as
poor people occupy could be had in 1885
for So month; now the same tenements
bring Ga. In 1884 and 1885 the Protestant
minister of Bogota occupied house for
which he paid $50 month"; at the present
time the same house brings $500 a month.
? In 1855 table board could be had at the
best hotels for 81 day; now it is So q
day, and the proprietors all say there is
much less money in the business than
when they received 81. Wearing apparel

TO provisions, but this is because the
people are too poor to buy the goods they
were in the habit of wearing before, and
the merchants have placed upon the
market the poorest quality of goods,
made in Europe. The reason that the
merchants give for not buying more
goods in the United States is that the
goods are too good and the people cannot
afford to buy them.

money, which is better than all the

To the Editor of the Press:
The recent Chicago convention will go
down to posterity Oh the pages OF
history as one of the most remark able
this country. It was largely composed
Of the worst and most dangerous elements
in society.
In it were narchists-socialists, ex-rebal
and seedy politicians Of the old defunct
JEFF Davis Confederacy, rioters and
disturbers of the public peace; all under
the lead Of their Populist governors of
South Carolina and nlinois-Tillman
and Altgeld, ths former notorious for at
tempting to establish government grog
shops all over the state; the latter distin-
guished for @ gross abuse of the pardon
ing power and open enooura cement
Of riotous proceeding and mob law.
Under the head of such notorious
sooundrels is it any wonder that the CON
vention became bowling mob defying
all attempts at order, and turning the
assembly into regular pandemonium.
1t is true there were highly respectable
Democrats present in that convention
whose desire was to have the proceedings
properly conducted; but what could they
do against the rawlings of Tillman, Bryan
and tho ''rebei yells" and insane how
lings of these frenzied hearers?
Insane over a single idea of which they

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE THREE Rs OF 1896.
New York Sun.)

: The Chicago platform declares for a
fifty -three-cent dollar as full legal
tender for all debts, public or private;
and, consequently, for the forcible oblite-
ration of forty seven per cent OF all in
debtedness, private or public.
That is Reputation.
The Chicago platform also demands a
renewal of the attempt to impose an in
come taxa class tax against the acoumu-
lations of industry and thrift, confscat-
ing the earnings and savings of the few
for the benefit of the many.
That is Robbery.
Again, the Chicago platform threate Ms
the cur5ailment of the powers of the
judiciary, the bulwarks Of life, property
and our institutional against the en1mies
OF society; and it likewise threatens to
pack the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States in order that the pro-
jects Of Populism may not be checked
hereafter in that quarter.
That is Revolt ton.
Mr.. Bryan stands for all three, Repu-
diation. Robbery and Revolution.
