John L. Sullivan, eX-champion
pugilist of the world, has announced
himself in the race for the Mayorship
of Boston on an Independent ticket.
He does this out of spite for the
Democratic candidate, who it is said
refused to shake hands with John L..
at a recent prominent event. The
big fighter hopes to draw enough votes
away from the Democrat to defeat
him. The Sentinel says John
ought to be able to catch most of the
floating vote.

81 remember Mckinley, says one of
his Oldest friends, quoted in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, "as a man with
his full share of impulsiveness. The
time was when he gave away as other
men do under strain or provocatlon.
Do YOU want to know what wrought
the change? For twenty-five years
this man has stood between his wife
and all that might give her the slightest
worry No matter what the load he
was bearing, he has never failed to wear
into her presence a smiling face. What
ever emotions might be surging under
meath, he appeared calm and placid on
the surface. This frail being ewes her
life to his shielding care. Self-control
was born of that twenty-five years of
devotion. There you have the whole
explanation of what is so admirable in
McKinley's character"

 In view of the severe criticism which this menu has aroused it should be better understood that 1t can be car Tied out in every particular by close economy. And right here let me sav the writer of this is entirely unknown to the lady In question, who rightly deserves her wheel
 The 'workingman" should consider Tor moment how much can be saved py buying in the cheapest markets, but not necessarily the poorest pieces and also when critieising the amount of meat needed should take into account the Tact that when soup Is used and so great a variety of food served at each meal much less meat is required.
