Only One ..wlnnln Pint.

For somethin better than a week.
since the golden Indian summer day
when Abner Hunter died. have been
tryin to think of somethin good to
say inregards to his name and memory.
Well, Abner Hunter was q mighty
good man to have around the sick or
the dead. If he was worth a continen.
tial for anything else in this round
created world L don't know what it
was. But for nursin the sick, or settin
up with the dead, he was the most willin
and handyest man I ever have saw. In
times of trials and troubles and tribu-
l%ations, if they wanted somebody to go
after the doctor, or nurse the sick, or
set up with the dead, Abner Hunter was
right there-always ready and willin.
It was never too soon or too late, too
hot or too cold, for him to nurse the sick
and set up with the dead.
And now since Abner Hunter is dead
and gone the common way Of all human
flesh, / am glad that 1 can look back
and find one winnin pint in his general
character.

Plankington (emphatically)-No, sir.
Did that happen to you?
1T did. 1 had q notion. or rather. /
nerved myself up to it, to settle up
some bills that / owed. So on my way
up from the Office / dropped in to see
my fishmonger."
"And he was out?"
Correct. Then I tried my grocer
she was out"

proprietor OF course / left word that
I called in to settle up. but wanted to

"oh, yes; that strengthens your

mar FOR their health. Poor people airs
not troubled with their rich kin visit
ing them and worrying them. Poor
people have 70 move often, but they
don't have much to NOVA. Poor people
ere never burgiarized ner robbed. No
body wants what they have They can
go to sleep at night with syery door
open and every window W. The sun
does not slight them by day nor the
moo by night. Poor people don't have
nervous troubles, sIeepless nights, and
weary days. Poor people are not
troubled with bank accounts and
bills payable and bills receivable.
Really, they seem to be troubled
with only one thing, and that is
their poverty. st. James was truly
wise when he saids "They that win be
rich fall into temptation and snares
and pierce themselves through with
many sorrows" The nervous strains,
the watchful anxiety, the rise and fall
in values, the leakage and shrinkage,
the rust and moths and thieves all play
upon the rich. Hence the Bible says:
Lay not up for yourselves riches in
earth where moth and rust doth corrupt
and where thieves break through and
steal" And there is not a piece of prop
erty under the sun that one of these
three things is not constantly at work
upon. Everything that q man las in
this world is subject either to the raw
ages of moth or rust, or the onslauEhtof Of.
thieves.
The rich and the poor ought to be in
deeper sympathy with one another.
The fellow who eats tooomuch ought to
divide more literally with him who
has had nothing to eat. The woman of
good fortune had better give her last
winters cloak to the shivering widow
than have the moths eat it up. In our
debating societies when l was a boy
we used to- get up the question of which
affords the greatest happiness, pursuit
or possession. Some dogs had rather
run a rabbit than to eat him after they
catch him.
With the gout on the one side and
starvation on the other; with luxUries
for some and wants for others; with
wrecked health and ruined nervous Y s
TENS for the rich, and the power to en-
joy all things without possessing the
things you would enjoy with the poor,
I say it is a question a philosopher
might well hesitate to answer. which il
the worst, wealth oFswant2 Iwould
rather strike the golden meal and be-
long to the middle class, notpinched by
want o surfeited with wealth, where
manhood has its higher play aad char
acter and conscience have the field.

a aood Tlme to ono.

Here lately / have been thinkin q
right smart in regards to the best time
of year to quit.
The best time to quit cussip and
drfnkin sperits-of-cats-a-fightin S jest
before you start.
The best time to quit eatin is when
you git enough.
The best time to quit work is before
you git too tired.
And the best time TO quit smokin your
pipe is before you set somethin on fire,
Old man Berry Ringstaf fell out with
his piYeNand quit it one day last week.
But lie was a few minutes too late.
It was a clear and gusty day, you
understand, and >the old man had
started to town with bale of cotton
on his OK wagon. The wind took and
blowed the fire outen his pipe onto the
cotton. and the whole thing was in a
light blaze quicker than you could say
scat with your mouth open. The oxen
they reached their backs and run AWAY.
They run over a big bluff and into the
creek, smashed the wagon into kindlin
wood and broke the old mans onlyest
leg-which he had left the other one al
Malvern Hill, or somewheres in that
northumberland so forth and so on.
What a gracious pity it is that the
old man didn't fall out with his pipe and
quit it at the right time-jest before il
was ~everlastinly too late.
The Good Book tells us that there is a
time for everything. And blessed is the
man that knows a good time to quit.

WINGED SEEDS.
The Vim Plays an Important Part In ths
Spreading Of Plants.

The Wind Plays an Important Part In The
Spreading Of Plants.
The usual way for seeds to be carried
is by the wind. Sometimes they are SO
small and light as to be easily waited
by the breezes. This is the ease with
the seed Of the moccasin flowers and
meadow pinks, and the other beautiful
plants Of our woods and boys called
orchids. And the tiny bodies, like
atoms of dust, termed Spores that
answer to seed in ferns and MOSES and
toadstools, are borne away by the light
est breath of air. But most seeds nre
themselves too heavy for this. So they
are often provided with thin, bsoad
wings that carry them before the wind
as a sail carries a boat. The pairs Of
keys" that hang in clusters from the
maple trees in spring are such winged
fruits. When ripe they float slowly 10
the ground, OF if a high wind is blow
ing. they are carried farther from the
tree. The ash has thick punches Of
winged fruit much like these, but sin
gle. The elm has a thin, papery Dor
der all around its small seeds, which
makes them quite conspicuous as they
hang on the branchlets before the
leaves have come.out.
Numbers Of plants have about the
seeds delicate hairs or bristles that
take the place of wings. A dandelion
"clock," or a head of thistle-down, Is a
bunch of seeds. each with a circle of
fine bristles on the summit. When the
seeds are ripe, along comes a breeze,
and puff away go the seeds, hanging
from their tufts of bristles, as the has
ket hangs from = balloon. The lunches
of long silky hairs that come from a
bursting pod Of milkweed, and fill the
air around, have each their precious
cargo in the shape Of a small, brown
seed. The seeds that ripen in heads ON
the clematis, after the handsome pur-
Pile flower leaves have fallen, have long
feathered tails. like slender bird
plumes, that do the same work thar ID
given to the silk Of the milkweed. The
cotton" around the seeds Of the will
lows at the riverside and Of the poplars
along city streets serve the same useful
purpose. Cotton itself is only a bunch
Of fine white hair around the seed.
Ages before men thought of spinning
it, and weaving it into cloth, It was
making itself useful to the cotton plant
by helping to scatter its seeds.-Thom-
as II. Kearney. Jr.. in st. Nicholas.

N Precious Programme o. Hanna and

Messrs. Sloane, Webb and Twombly.
three sons-in-law Of Vanderbilt. Nj.
Depew. "A. S. Hewitt, Cornelius N. Bliss
and other representatives Of his multi-
millionaire contingent decides that for
the good Of that contingent. the gold
standard campaign must be made con
tinuous. and that the agitation, speech
making. etc, must 20 on during the
four years when Hannaw will bcSn power
as regent Of the Mckinley court. As
a part Of this precious programme, ar
ranged without regard for the welfare
Of the business of the country. the ma
tional republican committee is to re-
main in active existence, to assume
general control Of the party in all the
states, and to act as the political adj
visory board Of the administration.
As though this plan, which IN itself
is well calculated to replace the drag
IN business, was not enough, congress
Is to he called together in special SEES
sion, Immediately after McKinley's in
Ouguration, for the purpose Of taking
up the tariff question, and presumably
far the purpose Of perfecting legislation
designed to still further fortify the
trusts, and make the position OF these
menaces to public welfare even more
impregnable than it is now.
If this is the programme, and we have
no doubt that it is, the leading bankers,
and business men generally, together
with the press have an immediate duty
to perform.
The country is in no condition ia
stand Mr.. Hanna's four years OF con
tinuons campaign, nor does it want
congress TO begin its seesawing over
the tariff. Certainly not before the
people have had some little chance to
recover from .ne depression and stag
nation from which they have suffered
since the panic brought on by the mis-
takes Of the Harrison administration
previous to 1892.
1t is the duty of all prominent men to
protest against this programme. II
Hanna is bent upon this line Of work,
you may be sure that active opposition
on the part of the democracy will be
promptly forthcoming, and then where
are we? If four months Of campaign
work brings business practically to a
Etandstill, what will four years of con
stant campaigning do? There should
be no delay in making the opposition
to Hanna's plans apparent. Papers
which do not protest should be looked
upon as opposed to the best interest Of
our business men, and others who hold
their peace or refuse to join in opposi-
ton to any political agitation at pres
emit should be looked upon as enemies
to the welfare of the whole business
world.-Buffalo Times.

An Admirable record.

Out Of the record Of the past the
people may draw encouragement for
the present. MI. Bryan's defeat is not
defeat for his principles, perhaps not
even permanent defeat for himself. He
and his party accepted a situation in
June last which seemed absolutely to
compel defeat. Democracy had been
discredited, demoralized, assassinated
by Grover Cleveland. To put a ticket in
the field seemed ridiculous. But with
q really democrats platform,with frank
and outspoken Reputation Of leveland-
ism, the party has made ihroads on re-
publican stronghclds and approached
very near to victory. Against Mr.. Bryan
this year every agency of capitalism
and cupidity was arrayed. For his over
throw the most enormous campaign
fund known to American politics was
expended, while IN his behalf pennies
were available where his foes hadsdol-
lars. Against him the sinister agen-
cies of corruption, coercion and intimi-
dation were cruelty employed. Yet, de
spite all, he has made a better showing
at the polls than Harrison in 1892, and
as good as Cleveland in 1888. The
democratic party has every reason to
be proud of the issue of this campaign,
and every possible reason to adhere for
the next four years to the principles
which have made so creditable an out
come possible.-N. X. Journal.
