EX-SENATOR D0oLITTLE DEAD.
One of the Founders of tho Repubii-
can Party Sitccum bs TO Grip.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 27. lS9I.-Esx-
United States Senator Doohttie, of Wis
consin, died at $3.50 o'clock this forenoon
at the home of his daughter, at Edge
wood, near this city, of Bright's disease
He was 81 years of age and was one of
the founders of the Republican party.
His illness began with an attack of the
grip about a year ago. His age aided
this disease TO take a firm hold upon
him, and in few months serious COM
plications set in. After a time there was
a rally and he determined to come East
to attend the graduation Of his grand
daughter at Smith College. He appeared
to stand the journey but poorly, and 1t
was thought best to take him TO Edge
wood. week after he came here, his
condition became feeble and about two
weeks ago he could only take milk and
sti1nulants. Some time ago the Senator
was taken with an attack of nausea and
these attacks were quite frequent after
a time.
Senator Doolittle was a native of New
York State and graduate of Geneva
College. He was called to the New YORK
Wisconsin. He filled many offices there
before being elected to the United States
Senate in 1855. He served two terms in
that body and had at the opening of the
Thirty-seventh Congress acquired posi-.
ton of high confidence in the councils OF
the then young and triumphant Repub-
ican party.
The Senator had been originally a
Democrat but he supported with great
ability the administration of President
Lincoln. After the war was ended and
Andrew Johnson was the Chief Executive
of the nation, Senator Doolittle supported
President Johnson in his contest with the
Republican majority in both branches of
Congress, which made him still more
conspicuous figure in the remaining por-
ton of the Presidential term of johnson,
although it cost him his political position,
as he was not reelected
In later years he became a Democrat
and presided at the Democratic Conven-
ton of 1872 that endorsed Horace Greeley
for President. His career in politics, how
ever, is conceded to have practically
closed on his retirement from the Senate.

A Well-Mortgaged Cow.

"There are tricks in all trades but ours,
remarked the carpenter, and we some
times drive screws with hammer A
few days ago, not more than thousand
miles from this county, collector called
on farmer for the payment Of note Sc
cured by chattel mortgage. The farmer
was obdurate and gave no satisfaction that
he would ever pay the note. Finally the
collector said, ''Well, I'll have to take the
eleven cows named in the mortgage. :"
e.Oh, no; you haven't got mortgage on
eleven cows on this farm, ''Why, yes,
1 have. And the collector pulled out
copy of the mortgage and read as follows
Zone red and white COW, COW spotted
red and white, l red COW with white spots,
/ COW with white spots in the forehead, l
red COW with two white hind feet, white
cow with red spots on the side, l white
and red COW. l red COW with two white
fore feet, | white COW with red spot on
shoulders, l red COW with white spot on
hips, white cow spotted with red Now,
how do you like that p continued the col
lector .'Oh, that s all right; see you We
got eleven mortgages on my old red and
white COW; there she is down in the pasture;
the boys viii 90 down and help you catch
her.

Shoe Dont's.

Don fail to rub patent leather shoes,
particularly new ones, with the palm of
the hand until quite warm before putting
on, and it will prevent splitting and crack
ing.
Don't wear overgaiters unless to protect
the upper part of your shoes from the
swish Of your wet skirts in stormy weather.
This fashion is out of date, looks mannish
and makes the feet look much larger.
DON have fancy pointed tips on your
shoes these days-they are quite passe; the
proper kind is plain straight-across one,
with just single row of perforations to
mark the edge.
Don't polish calfskin shoes with liquid
dressing; it will crack them. The paste
that men use is the thing, and don't put
too much of this on or it viii not polish go
readily, besides hurting your shoe.
Don neglect to turn the uppers Of shoes
down and put them by an open window for
an hour or two to air after wearing. It's
more hygienic, economical and fastidious.
Don wear shoe run down at the heel.
1t is one of the things that detracts most
from the nicely of woman's dress, and it
will very soon spoil the shape Of the shoe.
Don't wear low-priced shoe; they are
not cheap. Economic on something else,
if necessary Good leather cannot be
bought for song, and shoes made to sell
at bargain are seldom good shaped, there
fore not as comfortable, and certainly do
not wear as long
Don't fail to take good care of good
shoes. Don't put them away soiled and
dusty When packing for journey stuff
them out with tissue paper, SO they will
retain their shape, and wrap each shoe in
tissue paper, so it will not get rubbed or
stratched.

GRAINS OF COMFORT.


From H,e Baltimore Nelps
If fortune doesn't smile on you
And trouble seems to pile on you
For all it's worth;
Don't think that you're the only wight
For whom events don't come just right
Upon this earth
There are others
Ifluck has naught to bring to you,
And fate does not thing to you,
And you are blue;
Just ponder Ger some other wreck
Who stopped cyclone with his neck
Worse off than you
There are Others
If some one doesn't come to you
To pay certain sum to you,
Don't file kick;
For you are not the only guy
Who gets the dewn-to-zero eye
That makes ice thick
There are othersl
Ifa maiden fair goes back on you,
And woe makes an attack on you
Till you're broke up;
Remember, many trusting lout
Has puffed the pipe till it went out,
And then woke up
There are others
If she becomes "sis' to you,
And blows farewell kiss to you,
Just hold your ground;
Console yourself by thinking that
Your voice still penetrates your hat
And look around
There are others
