The non-partisan Judiciary crank
is trying to make himself heard in
Douglas county. The people up
there have four courts besides those
of justice of the peace-circuit, SUI
perior, probate, and municipal. OF
the two last named, judges are to be
elected in April. The county gave
Mckinley nearly two thousand
majority; and the non-partisan
Judiciary fellow does a greater part
of his missionary work in just such
localities. But Republicans are
awakening to the transparency of
the sham.

naturally expect. bears the image and

and then remarked: 1T sounds all
right, Bagster. What's wrong with
it?''
"You luke at It. sir" was the reply.
The captain glanced at the coin,
saying: Its all right, man; 1t will

TeddIe'S Advice.


The Blakes have q summer home in
Willoughby. to which they have Just
returned, after q residence Of six
months in the city. One Of the first
callers after the family had got settled
was the minister. While the good man
was inquiring after the health Of each
member OF the family, expressing his
pleasure at their return and explaining
how the AFFAIRS OF the church were 60
ing, little Teddie, who celebrated his
third birthday, and who, during their
stay In the city, must have met some
body who was addicted to the use of
slang, stood open-mouthed and appar-
emily drinking in every word that was
said. Having finished a general review
OF affairs concerning his church the
minister started to tell about q book
that he had just finished. when Teddie
suddenly interrupted him by grayely
saying:
"Oh, 20 hire a halil"
It Is understood that even now the
worthy minister Is sometimes possessed
of troublesome doubts conceI ing the

Poor little Oracle sat before the
kitchen fire, the meekest and palest of
CindereIlas, in an unconsclously

and faded, her hair brushed back In a
plain plat, her cheek transparently
pale, and there was an expression in
her eyes, as they looked into the red
embers, that made Mr.. Folliott's heart
ache.
"Pve not come any too soon" he
thought, and then he said aloud:

With q sudden cry she sprang to her
feet and ran sobbing into his arms.
