SMALL Ills.
The Power 10 Endure Them May he
Cultivated.


The Power 20 Endure Them May De
Cultivated.
It ia often easier to bear a great sor-
now than TO endure small ills and re-
main of even, sweet disposition. The
old simile that drops of water wear into
the solid rock is certainly an apt one.
1t Is easy 10 steel ones nerves and fight
fravely fortune that is adverse if there
is q chance of an honorable victory. The
brayest knight, however, may be over
come by gnats.
1t Is the misfortune Of women TO be
more delicate In their nervous structure
than men, and to be more often the VIC
tins Of petty annoyances such as rasp
the nerves and temper. 1t is peculiarly
woman's duty to attend to minutiae.
Housekeeping demands strict attention
TO small things. If the housekeeper has
trouble In her work il Is q petty matter
TO talk of. It comes from the petulance
of servants, the failure of the yeast
perhaps to rise, or the stupidity of some
one who has left the oven door open and
upset all her plans for dinner. Some
one, perhaps, has carelessly stopped the
plumbing, and a large bill is incurred
from this source, which makes it inn
possible for her TO buy n much-needed
winter bonnet for herself, or new coats
Tor the children. The matters essential
TO health come first, and at any cost the
water pipes must be repaired.
1t is just such petty things as we have
named which wear woman's patience
out and sometimes make the Saiddle-
aged woman a hopeless scold or q nerv-
Gus invalid, when she should be placid,
even-tempered, happy woman. The
power TO endure small ills, however,
can be cultivated. It is an easy matter
at the beginning Of life to look upon
things philosophically and check the
drown or hasty word which rises to the
lips. If a mother would only remember
that her whole future happiness de-
pends upon the restraint she exercises
on such occasions 1t would save her.
More than her own happiness, the hap
piness of her own children and that of
all who love her depend upon it. It is
an effort that she must make at what
ever cost. The habit Of self-restrainS
and self-repression grows upon one who
practices it. Finally it become second
nature to speak q gentle word instead of
fretful one when an annoying blum
der occurs. A word fitly spoken with
out temper viii do more to prevent an.
other blunder than all the sharp ut.
terances Of anger.
Unhappy fretfulness also grows with
the indulgence in the habit unit
the person becomes an unbearable com
panion and sometimes drives all hel
friends from her. This vice is by nC
means limited to women. We have
known men who were chronic scoldi
nndwhorenderedt their homesand offices
nbodes Of misery by fretting over small
matters, though this is not often mas
oullne fault.--N. Y. Tribune.

was on the upper Ohio this sum
mer when the river was low ard was
much amused over the use TO which a
pilot put a megaphone. lie bought the
thing TO call ashore any message that
might have been given the boat TO
carry. This was TO save time, for those
little boats in the local trade are
great deal like the old-fashioned mail
carriers-anything to accommodate
the people along the bank.
We were in the pilot house, and the
boat was running up chute near the
West Virginia side of the river. In n
cornfeld was an old farmer who was
following n plow behind an old flea
bitten gray that only needed half in
yitation TO stop at any time. The pilot
put the megaphone to his mouth and
shouted: "Whoal" and the old gray
whoaed.
The farmer heard the sound, and he
thought, evidently, that neighbor was
there or thereabout, for he looked
around 10 see from whence the sound
came. Then he tossed a clod at the old
horse and started him up.
"Whoal" said the pilot. and again the
old horse stopped. Then the old Rube
went to tho river bank and looked
Gown in the willows. but not n soul
could he see. lie looked mp and down
and then at the steamboat, and
scratched his head in surprise. lie
couldn't afford TO waste any time in
looking for the ghost, for he went back
20 the plow and started on with his
job.
Once more the joking pilot said
"whoai" and again the horse stopped
dead still. You could see from the boat
that the old fellow was all mixed up.
for he looked up and down the river and
then at the hillside behind him to see

ind him and his old horse. He made up
his mind that he would take IL out of
the old gray, and 10 fix for the coca
sion be went to the underbrush and cut
stick that was ten feet long. lie
started the horse with vengeance.
When the pilot hollered "whoal" again
the old man gave the gray lick that
sounded clear TO the boat. We could
almost hear him say:
"Thar, gol darn you, I'll teach you TO
stop when you hear a spook hollerln'
at ye."
But the pilot kept up the good work
and hollered "whoa, whoa, whoal" and
ugaln and again the old man hit the
gray. Finally II looked as If he had
caught on, for he let the old horse stop
while he watched the boat.
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun and he called out:
"Feed the old gray; feed him. He's
so hungry that he can't work. That's
all the matter with him"
Then old Rube got his voice and we
heard him say; "You go to thunder

THE POWER OF THE PRESS" !"

'THE POWER OF THE PRESS
Pitous stirring drama, '"The Power
of the Press" held the attention OF a
large and appreciative audience last
night ait the Grand Opera House. The
play was full Of startling situations, all
OF which were ably brought out by the
Clemens Company. The boat-yard
scene was fine setting, and all
through the drama the scenic effects
were good. Mr.. Clemens, in the role of
Steve Carson, was good. Miss Gregg
made a devoted wife to Steve, and her
work at all times was admirable. She
is q capable actress. Richard Crolius
as Mr.. O'Calligan, was the life Of the
show. The dancing specially of Master
Jack Ward is one of the best, consider
ing the youth of the performer, ever
seen here. At last nights performance,
and since the Clemens Company open
ed its engagement, the performers have
been annoyed by a gang" OF knOw-it-
all youths, whose presence is also an
annoyance to the patrons of the house.
A man who has attended several of the
performance said to-day that the
tOughs should be marked and denied

The citizens of Mortified are pro-
testing against the pardon OF the
Younger brothers. Their feelings to-
ward these brothers are not OF the
tenderest, for it was at Northfield,
twenty-one years ago, that these
brothers committed the crime for
which they were imprisoned for lie.
They have behaved we'll in prison, but
it was to their interests to do so.
The Younger brothers have gained
fame all over the world by the crime
they committed. They are considered
the greatest criminals that have
ever been in the state prison. If these,
thegreatest of criminals are pardoned
why not pardon those who are i'm
prisoned for crimes of lesser import
ance? No one thinks the Younger
brothers will return to their old life,
but if they are pardoned, the influence
of pardoning the most notorious out
laws will certainly have some evil
effect And people will ask what is
the use of passing life sentence at
all?

ga much more warlike resolution

belligerency has been reported to the
Senat e from the committee on Foreign
Relation. This resolution authorises
the President to compel Spain to pay
the $4,000 indemnity demanded by
two naturalized American citizens
wrongfully arrested in Cuba i'll 1895,
and to employ such means or exer-
else such power as may be necessary"
to do so. In other words, the Presi-
dent is directed to make Spain pay
or fight. AS Spain has already posi-
lively refused the indemnity demanded

GREAT britain mas JUST competed
the celebration Of the diamond jubilee
of the regnant queen with the grandest
pageant Of history. The celebration
was eminently appropriate, the cause
demanded recognition, the occasion
was opportune, contamination mag
nificent beyond precedent. The glory
of England is the glory OF civilization;
the whole world rejoices in the results
of her humanizing influences.
The last sixty years of English his
tory are replete with stirring events,
with magnificent achievements No
privous period of the worlds history
of equal duration is at all compar-
able with it. The arts and sciences
have been advanced beyond prece-
dent. Popular education has become
we'll nigh universal. Civilization has
enormously enlarged its area and
pushed it's frontiers to the furt hest
bounds OF barbarism. The liberty Of
the people has been secured, the free
dom Of speech and of the press. Lit
erature is abundant. Happiness is
within the reach OF all worthy to en-
Joy it. The right of individuals are
acknowledged as vested and perma-
nant.
In the progress Of the world, eng
lands banner, torn but flying" has
been held aloft in the front ranks of
advancement and success. And so it
was eminently fitting that the sixtieth
anniversary of Queen Victoria's oc-
cupancy OF the English throne should
be celebrated with Joy unconfined.
1t has been designated the Queens
jubilee, and Victoria has been Landed
with cordial and reverent commenda-
ton. Yet how much OF all this grand
symposium is to be credited to the
personality of the queen? What per-
sonal achievement has been recorded
of Victoria's? What as an individual,
even as monarch, has she accom-
plished? The monarch is not the
English Government. Probably in
no nation, not even excepting the
Great Republic, do thepeople actually
rule as they do England. The mon
archy is a sentimet, a fiction, an
ideal. The people ruling through
parliament constitute the government.
Yet the people must have a nominal
head to which is referred the origin
and the responsibility of legislation
and execution of laws. The queen is
lauded with all the virtues OF infalli-
bility, positive and negative, because
she has done nothing. The old fig
ment, "the king can do no wrong" is
acceptable with the underst and ing
that he does nothing.

largest railroad companies in the

piled to that public nuisance who

your annoyance and disgust. The
travelling public will be thankful if
the railway companies abolish him

We cannot pass the manly act OF
Senator Mantle of Montana, who
voted last week in favor of the tariff
bill without friendly mention. Here
is man, a silver man, from Montana
who, while opposed to tariff as pro-
tective measure, yet voted for it
rather than obstruct the road to
prosperity according to the ideas of
Republicans. We note also that the
silver force III the senate took much
the same course upon the tariff bill.
While they are opposed to a law that
will tax the people for the benefit OF
the trusts. yet they are willing to
voice the sentiments OF the people
and thereby teach them a practical
lesson that prosperity cannot come
through excessive taxation. If pros
perity does not come through the me-
dunn of high tariff, the fault cannot
be laid at the door of the advocates
of free silver or their Representatives.
