Sixteen To Ono.

An amusing incident took place at
Elizabethtown, Kentucky, during
a "Free Silver Demonstration. A
parade OF some 900 horsemen was
headed by Wagon in which were
seated IL Queens of Beauty, 16 robed
in white and ! in yellow, to repre-
sent the "l6 to l" ratio OF silver to
gold. At the last minute one of the
"Silver" ladies was unable TO be pre-
sent, so another was hastily got
from the town. AS soon as the pro-
cession started this lady cheered
vigorously for Mckinley, and, on
being requested to nquit" calmly
said, "lndeed | shan't. They did
not ask me whom / was for, but sim
ply said | was to be dressed it white"
This little incident quite spoilt that
part Of the procession.

A Girl Blacksmith.

A Kansas girl OF II years won the
prize in an unusual contest in com
petition with 2 men. She had lear
ned to turn horse shoe in black
smiths shop, and at an entertain
ment for the benefit Of a church she
matched herself against 2 OF the
most experienced blacksmiths in the
city. Three portable forges were
placed on the stage, and each contes-
tant was allowed a helper to blow
the bellows. Both men aud the
girl wore the leather apron peculiar
to their calling. They smiled indul'
gently at their girl rival as they
waited for time to be called, but
became anxious, than alarmed, and
finally discounted when she turned
perfect horseshoe before the au-
dience and judges in less than 4
minutes. The curtain went down on
pretty tableau of glowing forges
and the smiling girl victor, who
speedily appeared among her friends
daintily clad in white.

On the 14th, 18th and 10th of
January, 1893, meetings were held
by members of the Reform party,
to further consider their plan of
conspiracy. At these meetings it
was understood that the American

During Sunday, the 18th, one of
the conspirators called on two of

decided that the Queen should be
dethroned and provisional govern

that the American Minister would
land his troops and support the
movement, il proclamation to that

in town. He then asked them If
they would, without consulting
their colleagues, as they were not to
be trusted, take control OF the stu
alton and in their own names ask
the American Minister to assist in
carrying out their program, and
stated that the document already
drawn up by him could be changed
to suit this proposition. The Min
listers q 'clined to entertain any such
propos on, and Immediately after
the COT mi!tee-man's departure, met
their colleagues and consulted the
subject matter with them. The re
suit of their deliberations was to
meet several of the responsible and
conservative business men Of the
community, and obtain their views
on the situation. 1t was decided to
issue a proclamation assuring the
community that the matter of pro-
mitigating new Constitution was

Back From The Grave

We can not come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like every
thing else, must have beginning. All
chronic maladies tend to shorten life, and
render it species of matt. rdom while
they last. Malaria, kidney complaint,
chronic indigestion, rheumatism-all have
small beginnings, and may be stayed at
the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. This elegant tonic and Alternative is
adapted alike to the prevention of dis
orders of the system and to their re-
moval, and it's early use can not be too
strongly advocated. To renew appetite
and insure tranquil rest, there is no surer
and pleasanter means than the Bitters.
The effects of overwork and exhaustion,
mental or physical, are counteracted by
it, and the busy merchant, the tired clerk
or operative, and the brain weary stu
dent, author or newspapermar, derive
from it present relief and future energy.

I've got to have cabinet,
But one thing I'm afraid Of
l don't see how in time I'll choose
The stuff it's to be made of.
For kindly friends on ey'ry hand
Their ready tongues unlimber
To tell me just the very spots
To look for likely timber.
According to the tales they tell,
The woods are full Of giants
On any of whom ftwould seem
'Twere safe to place reliance.
While lofty heads all round us tower
IT'S puzzling to tell which Is
The best for any place, mid such
Embarrassment OF riches.
The woods are full of giants, peers
OF Seward and Of Stanton,
And ev'ry day sees sample lots
Dumped right down here i'll Canton.
Yet can't help suspicioning
That folks who talk the longest
Are those who'd make the poorest sticks
Appear to me the strongest.
And some, know, in spite of all
The booming that is cheering
Ambitious hearts and hopes Just now
Are nothing but veneering.
Iwsnt good, strong cabinet.
