Mr.. Mccartney Sends Greeting TO Old
Friends.
To the Editor of the New DOMINION

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
WESTON, ILL.,, Dec Ill see my time
expired in September and as prosperity
has been little slow coming this way
Gas promised if Mckinley was elected)
am little tardy, but however it is bet
ter late than never, so here goes (before
the greenbacks are retired.) Please find
enclosed money order for $1.50 to pay to
next September and if we can scratch up
another 81 so by that time will send it
in, if living. May be the good. times
will get here by that date if they don't
cut the soldiers pensions down to help
the deficit as I see there is such talk in
Washington.
1t is pity there could not be some
scheme gotten up to tie up all the money
or work it into the hands of such men
as ]. Pierpont Morgan, for it is we'll un-
derstood that if it gets into the hands
of the old soldier boys it goes into cir
culation and We all have money for a
time even if it is not much.
1t appears to me | see the handwriting
on the wall. If the Democrats don't
win in 1900 it will not be the fault of.the
republican party il they continue in the
course they have taken.
This leaves all we'll except colds. We
had nice fall and SO far nice winter,
little wet just now Have had no snow
to speak of vet, Good wishes to all.
Very truly,
4 McCapTNrv

You Begin.

My old Great grandmother Knox had
way of making her children finish
their work. If they began thing
they must complete it. If they under
took to build q cob-house, they must
not leave it until it was done, and
nothing OF work or play to which they
set their hands would she allow them
to abandon incomplete I sometimes
wish L had been trained in this way.
How much OF life is wasted in un.
finished work. Many man uses III
his time IL splendid beginnings. The
labor devoted to commence ten things
and leave them useless would finish
five of them and make them profitable
and useful. Finish your work: life is
brief; time is short. Stop beginning
forty things, and go back and finish
four. Put patient, persistent toll into
the matter, and, be assured, one com.
pleted undertaking viii yield yourself
more pleasure and the world more
profit than dozen fair plans of which
people say, "This man began to build,
and was not able to finish"

Jellu SuperslitiOns.

After sailors and gamblers, the aif-

stitloas people | know, says an Old de-
tectlve. A cat crossing In front Of

bad enough luck to dwarf the mig ats

like the ordinary sufferer, but Eundreds
OF white cats crowd before his vision.
A driver OF an alinight mack never puts
ms left foot on the wheel first upon
getting upon the box; he thinks it bad
luck, and nothing can induce him to
open the door of his cab or carriage

bad omen, and causes the driver to be-
lieye that some bal luck is in store for
him. When the moon is shining
brightly and big elo,ld suddenly hides

suspicious. If the passenger happens
to be drunken man with torn UNI

will change their luck. bus they never
refuse drink. The lighted stump of
cigar picked up after it has been
thrown away by a well-dressed man
and quickly smoked is thought to bring
good luck. All the jehus who are only
seen on the streets at night are great
policy players. If they are lucky they
may make s. bill, but by the time the

Here is tale OF a strange animal
friendship told by a writer in recent
issue of The Westminster Gazette. The
story is unique. According TO the writer,
a lioness that was kept in captivity in
Somaliland adopted q bull terrier. There
We're several bull terrier puppies near
the place where she was confined, and
once i'll awhile the little fellows would
come close to the cage. Then she would
snarl, and tho puppies would scamper
back, but there was one that seemed to
have the good viii Of the lionness, for
one day when be approached the cage,
instead of growing, she showed signs
of pleasure
The puppy was encouraged, and after
blinking at the lioness he walked boldly
in To the surprise of the keeper, who
was expecting to see the puppy quickly
killed, the lioness stretched out her
huge paw and gently drew the dog in.
The little fellow was delighted with his
reception, and he Struggled into her
warm fur and has remained with her
ever since. The curious thing is that
the Honess will have nothing to do with
the other puppies. If they come to the
cage to see how their little brother is
getting along, she growls at them in
tones SO loud and menacing that they
are frightened off, Meanwhile the
adopted puppy is treated by the honess
just as if he were a cub of her own.

Naming y burmese Rahr-

A Burmese baby when fortnight
old Is named. On the auspicious day.
which the astrologer has selected, there
is feast to which relatives and friends
have been invited. The baby's head Is
washed for the first time, and his name
is chosen. An English lady residing in
Burma describes the process of select
ing the name:
The limits Of the choice are deter
mined by the day Of the week upon
which he was born. Burmese custom
divides the letters of the alphabet
among the days Of the week, and a
child born On Monday must receive a
name initiated by one of the letters be-
longing to that day.
Ka, kha, ga. CHA, nga, Taninla
So. hsa, "a. cha, nya. Aingas
Ia, tina, da, dha, ma, Sanay,
is the beginning of a jingle which every
Burmese child learns, as you and I
learned. Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November. "
A child born ON Taninla Monday
must have a name beginning with "k, -
g" or n" and when he is old
enough to go to the pagodas the nature
OF the offering he carries, or rather its
shape, is determined by the day of his
birth.
Each day OF the week is under the
protection or subject TO the fury of
some animal. The tiger rules Monday.
and a Burman born on Monday will
offer to Gautama a candle shaped like a
tiger and fashioned Of scarlet or of vel
low wax Tuesday belongs to the king
of beasts, Wednesday is the tusked ele-
plants, Thursday Is sacred to the rat
and Friday to the guinea pig. The drag
on dominates Saturday, and Sunday is
dedicated to another fabulous creature,

SHAKING WITH 10000.

The GOD Bless Youi" of Honest Hearted
People Benediction.
In an article describing 1.-The Social
Life Of the President" in The Ladies'
Home Journal ex-President Harrison
tells Of the fatigues of bandshaking and
also of the benefits of being brought in
contact with the good, honest hearted
people of the country. NJ the first two
weeks of an administration, he says,
the president shakes hands with from
40, 600 TO 60. 900 persons. The physical
drain Of this is very great, and If the
president is not an instructed hand
shaker lame arm and q swollen hand
soon result This may be largely or en-
tirely avoided by using President Hayes
methOd-take the band extended TO you
and grip it before your hand is gripped.
Ii is the passive hand that gets hurt II
has been suggested that nod or bow
should be substituted for the handshake.
but it would be quite as admissible to
suggest a revision of the Declaration of
Independence.
THE interest which multitudes attach
to handshake with the president is so
great that people will endure the great
est discomfort and not little peril TO
life or limb to attain it. These are not
the Office seekers, but the good. honest
hearted, patriotic people whose God
bless you is a prayer and a benediction-
They come TO Washington for the inau-
guration, and later with excursions,
but they are mostly 10 be found near
their own homes. They come out 10

journey, and his contact with them and
their unselfish and even affectionate in
terest in him revive his courage and
elevate his purposes Mr.. Lincoln is
said 60 have called these popular aoCop-
lions his public opinion baths. "
