a Traveller and Some Monkeys.

A traveller and sportsman tells an
amusing story of an experience in up
per India. He had been shooting some
wild fowl on a sultry day, and to re-
fresh himself undressed and plunged in
TO pool about four feet deep in order
to enjoy quiet bath. He had scarcely
plunged in when his attention was at
1tracted by "A noise among the branches
overhead, and on looking up he saw
that some 20 or 80 gray monkeys were
seated gravely watching his proceedings.
Soon one gray bearded old fellow quiet
N ly came down from the tree and took his
seat ON the bank and stared with all his
eyes. His example was followed by the
others one by one, till all were on the
ground. There they sat in a semicircle
keeping quite still, all solemnly gaz-
ing at the strange spectacle.
At last one small monkey leaped up
on the back of another in order to see
better. steadying himself by clasping
his hands over the forehead of his
friend. The two monkeys looked SO ri
diculous that the bather laughed aloud.
At this unexpected outburst the whole
troop of monkeys took to their heels.
scuttled up the trees, and with loud
and angry chattering shook the branch
es in their indignation at being laughed
at. Not one of them again came down
from it's lofty shelter.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, Ill,
was told by her doctors she had consumption
and that there was no hope for her, but two
bottles DR.. Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching
consumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DIR. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He
is naturally thankful. 1t is such results, of
which these are samples, that prove the won
derful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and
colds. Free trial bottles at H. c. Pierces

Nicknames For the States.

Many of the states in our great re-
public have nicknames which were
given for various reasons when the states
were new, and have chung to them, just
as nicknames do to boys and girls. AS
a writer in The Examiner tells, Maine
was settled very early by the English
and was originally part of Massachu-
sets. 1t is called the Pine Tree or Lum-
Der State. New Hampshire was named
for Hampshire county in England. It's
nickname is Granite State. Vermont,
at first part of New York, is proud of
being the first state admitted to the
original Is and is called the Green
Mountain State, as its name implies
Massachusetts, whose original name
was Massachusetts, Bay, is called the
Old Bay State. Rhode Island is Little
Rhody, and Connecticut is the Wooden
Nutmeg State.
New York is proud of being the En-
pire State, and Pennsylvania the Key
stone State because it stands as the key
stone Ill the arch of the original Is
states. Delaware keeps her name as
Diamond State.

LETTER FROM LOWELL, Mass.

Mr.. Editors: Being reader of your
paper, often find items of interest to
me from Orleans Co., especially from
my old home, Irasburg, and through
your columns would offer few of
the many reasons why young man
should stay in the country in prefer
ence to going to the city to live. First,
if in poor health he has nothing to
gain by going to the city; and if in
good health can keep it better in the
country. If he has work at $1.O0
per day he can live better there than
in the city at $3.50; if he owns place
he would hardly think of changing in
these times, but should he rent one
at So, 90 per month in all probability
he has a better tenement and grounds
than city the size of Lowell will fur
nisn at $15. Instead of a front yard
with green grass and room for a
flower bed, he must endure concr etc
walk and policemen to see that he
leaves no barrel or box on it.
Does he enjoy a daily paper, but
feels he cannot afford it? let me say
from experience that he can find
more that is reliable in one or two
weeklies and enjoy them better, than
though he received one each day il
the year. Perhaps he has an idea he
can buy to better advantage that
which he can afford. I believe the
cases are rare where one can get the
same quality of goods for less money
in the large cities, and if your coun-
try merchant does not have what you
want it is because he is not encour-
aged to keep it in stock, by your will
ingness to trade at home. Some of
my friends, who may read this, may
wonder at my finding fault with a
bridge that has carried me over; if SO
must attribute it to tendency to
avoid telling them of the many
barely escaped wrecks.
Only last week I was accosted by
two intelligent appearing young men
on one of the business streets Of Bos-
ton, who said they came to find work;
not finding it, which is not strange,
they got out of money and were
obliged to walk the streets the night
before, not having eaten a meal for
twenty four hours; perhaps but for
thei being able to show proof of

TRAPPED BY A LAWYER.

The story of Abraham .Lincoln's
confounding an opposing witness
with an almanac record of the moons
phases, finds parallel in the case of
Waterson, recently acquitted on a
charge of murder in an Iowa court.
The main witness against him was one
Delafield, who swore he was working
just outside the window of the accus-
ed on the day of the alleged crime,
and saw Waterson open a cupboard,
take down bottle, move about as If
preparing portion, and then ad-
minister the draught to Mrs. Water
son, who died in great agony later in
the day.
A lawyer named Bradford, for the
defense, had asked the jurymen on
tence, if they had faith enough in the
weather bureau reports to attach Gre
dence to them, and had found every
man on the panel believed the records
were fair and reliable. The State had
not understood the drift of these
questlOnS, out mad not OBJECTED.
When it came to cross examining.
Bradford asked the witness, Delafield,
what he was doing outside Waterson's
window, and he said he was digging a
cistern.
"When did you begin digging that
cistern?"
November IL, the day Mrs. Water
son died."
GLOW much did you dig that day?"
ooh, about three feet.''
"What tools did you use?"
ga shovel.'
"And pick?"
"No; the ground was mellow"
"Work in an overcoat?"

the Hackensack and Newark salt

The most stupendous industrial un-
certaking that is today growing under
the hand of man is the great Trans
Siberian railway of Russia. It's cost
when finished will be $500, 600, 900, it's
total length 400 miles. 1t will be
completed in year more. The
western part of tht road runs through
the grain growing Siberian country
and is already finished. This will
bring the wheat of Asiatic Russia
heavily in competition with that of
America.

AFTER THB

The election is ove and II is now pos
sible for us to view the whole situation
and see what gains and losses have
been made by the silver cause. Tho
principle interest has conferred around
the elections in Greater New York and
the State OF Ohio, for here the admin
istration labored to secure a result that
would appear like a vindication Of its
policy. In New York, the Democratic
victory was overwhelming. The same
territory that gave McKinleya plural
ity of IS, 500 votes last year, gave Van
Wyck, an advocate of free silver, a
plurality of 81, 900 this year. The State
Legislature still has a Republican ma
iority but it has been reduced in the
Assembly from 10 to II.
In Ohio the election was SO close for
members of the Legislature that for sew
eral days Mark Hanna might well have
wondered Where am l at?n The Of
fetal count, however, resulted in favor
Of the Republicans who will have a ma
jority of five on joint ballot. The thorns
in Marks path to the Senatorial chair
have not all been removed yet as there
are several Republican members who
are opposed to him and there is talk of
the Democrats joining with them to ell
ect Gov. Bushnell.
In Kentucky the Silver Democrats
carried the State by a majority of 20.
600 over the Republicans and Gold
Democrats: in Iowa the Republican ma
iority was reduced about one-half. In
PennsY vania and Massachusetts. the
Republican strongholds, the Democrats
made materisl gains and in Nebraska
the silver majority was greatr than
that gwen Bryan in 1895. In fact, it
may be confidently predicted that unie :
a great change for the better takes
place in the condition of the producing
classes of the country in the next
twelve months, we will have u Demo
cratic Congress next year and in 1900
Bryan and silver will sweep the coun-
try.

fraternal regard and generous cooper
alton. For these great benefits it is our
duty to praise the Lord in a spirit of
humility and gratitude and to offer UP
to him our most earnest s~upplications.
That we may acknowledge our obliga-
ton as a people to him who has so gra-
%ciously granted us the blessings of free
government and material prosperity, |,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, President of the

In witness hereof, l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the Seal of the
United States to be affixed.

Misquotine the Markets.

DENVER, Nov. 6.-For several days
the managers of all the mines from
Texas to British Columbia have been
comforting in this city for the promo
ton of the allied interest of mining and
smelling.
There appears to be a unanimous de-
termination to devise some means If
possible to obtain the price for their
products, instead of the doctored and
insufficient quotations now furnished
by certain New York jobbers.
In the case of lead for instance, there
is no good reason why the market
price in New York should not be quoted
daily at 81 % instead of SO 10 and it is
believed justice can soon be obtained
in this important matter. The same is
true of silver.

uDGE FITZGERALD ATTACKED,

Before the conclusion on the Capron
will contest Il good deal of mud is likely
to be thrown in the direction of \. L.
Fitzgerald. the Nevada Judge who
takes SO large a share of the estate un-
der the will. Judge Fitzgerald has
sworn that he obtained a divorce for
Capron IN Nevada, but it is also in evil
dence that Capron lived with his wife
until her death. in 1888, and that the
Judgment of divorce was not made up
until after the death Of Mrs. Capron.
The viii offered for probate by Judge
Fitzgerald purports to have been exc
cuted on Good Friday, and the con
testants say that on that day Capron
was confined to his bed by illness. Part
of the contestant 5 case is. therefore, an
attack upon Judge Fitzgerald Post.
