They tell the story in France of a
banker who lost his fortune until he had
but 50, 600 left, and then died of a
broken heart because his purse was so
light His brother was a poor man,
and 10 him the banker left what
he had. Whereupon this brother was so
elated that he died from excess of joy
on receiving the news of his good for
tune. So here is illustration that con-
tentment is, as the old adage has it, the
secret of true happiness. The 10000
francs was so small sum to one man
that he could not be content to live,
and to another it was so large a sum
that he could not be content to enjoy
it, but died in greedy anticipation of
its possession The first should have
been thankful that he had enough to

The Democracy is already claiming
election. These men are too fresh
Ohio is a Republican State as yet, and
we think is likely to remain so In the
lican strongly since 1892, and as there
have been four State elections since
then. and as in each the Republicans
had handsome majority, it is improb-
able that there will be a reversal now
party that gains strength yearly, as
has the Republican party in Ohio, is
unlikely to cast it away in a single
year; but that must be done to give
Democracy any triumph at all.

a Cleveland paper comments humor-
cusly upon the tendency of the Populists
TO pose as models and progressionists.
They assume that they, and they only,
are the best judges of the fitness of any
aspirant for official station. But their
standards are often peculiar. This was
manifest recently in Ohio, where the
radical Populists demanded that every
man who aspired to be Governor OF the
State should stand up and give them
proof of his oratorical ability, as If that
is any test whatever of capacity for the
Gubernatorial office. If the idea OF the
Ohio Populists is that glib tongue,
good voice and a diarrhea of long Words
constitute fitness for the chief magls-
tracy, they will some day awake 10
their error. 1t does seem, even IN THESE
parts, that the Populistic estimate Oh
capacity is lungs and wind power.

The Germa of consumntion.

Dr. R. L. Watkins of New York claims to have discovered the indus or nest wherein the germ of consumption is nourished. Instead of waiting for the destroying disease to develop he says physicians may HOW detect the soil fa- Yorable to its growth. By eliminating this condition the disease may be cured practically before it's inception. For years Dr. Watkins has been working with drops of blood taken from various persons to see whether or not the blood has a story to tell long in advance of the appearance of disease. He has been able to anticipate by one year the de- yelopment of apoplexy, rheumatism, paralysis and cancer by the pathogno. monio condition of the blood.

AFRAID OF VANDALISM.
The Objection to Having the Inaugural
 Bail Tn the Library Building.

The Objection to Having the Inaugural
 Bail Tn the Library Building.
 An all absorbing controversy has arisen in Washington over the question of whether the new library building shall be used for the inaugural ball, and it may be necessary for Chairman Han m to return here and issue definite and poremptory orders for the carrying out of his determination that the ball take place in the great rotunda of this beau tiful building.
 The objection now raised is that van- dalism will run riot in the elaborately decorated halls, and the local papers are deyoting several columns a day in dis cussing the question of whether or not the American people will endeavor to carry away the library building piece meal. It is fact that the most watch ful vigilance is necessary on the part of the policemen in all the government buildings to keep them from being hacked to pieces by relic hunters, and as an inauguration crowd is the worst of its kind, perhaps tho fear of those who take pride in preserving tho public build ings from destruction is justifiable.
 1t IS only year ago that pastor of an intelligent congregation in 8 large sized town, while sightseeing in Wash ington, was arraigned in the police court for having deliberately hacked Q piece off the Washington monument with a hatohet. He was fined fer the offenee, after having said that he was tesnntea into the deed by his bride.
 Addition 60 Yellowstone Park.
 Captain Anderson, superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which would add the Jaekson's Hole country to the park. The area which it was proposed to take in is about 30 miles square and contains Jaekson's lake and the Three Futon moustain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and would, in the opin- ion of the captain, add materially to the parks attraetiveness. Senator Car ter of Montana has drafted a bill for that purpose, which has the indorse- ment of the senators from Montana and Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have not yet been won over. r.--Omaha Bee.

THE DOCTORS STORY.
An Experience That Followed Call at
 Night.

An Experience That Followed Call Tt
 Night.
 Four or five physicians were talking up town the other evening at the homo of one, and tho conversation later turned to shop. One of them had recently moved his office down town, and there was some discussion as to the adyisabil- ity of separating house and office.
 Well, said the separatist, T can'G see any difference so long as l am at my office during office hours
 "Let me toll you q story, 9 remarked the oldest man in the party. Thirty years ago. when began practice, lived in Virginia, and for year or two l slept ill my office Then l married, and my wife owned a nice house, and I went to if to live. It sat back from the street about 90 feet, and we decided that it would be much nicer if we had my office out on tho street in tho far corner of the lot. Only DO feet away, you will ob. serve, but still 1t was enough In order to see such callers as came during the night had night bell and a speaking tube connecting the front door of the office with my bedroom. You see, l did not want patient to escape under any circumstances.
 We'll, everything went ntnioely enough for three years or so. when one night . ring came to my bell. Itwas then about 3 o'clock in the morning. and the ring was n hot one. l asked who it was, and the answer came from q friend of miBe to the effect that he was a mighty sick man and wanted to see me at once. I told him to como around to the house and 1 would meet him at the door and take care of him. Then got up, and, putting on my dressing gown and slip. pers, I proceeded to the front door But there was 10 one there and ne one in sight on the way between the gate and the house
 That was odd, and 1 went back and called through the tube to know what was wrong. I received no answer, and, being quite unable to account for it, took my lamp--it was a very dark and still night-and started to go out and investigate. Just as I was about to step off the porch l lowered my lamp to get better light on the step, and there at the foot of the porch lay body I turned it over at once, and as the light fell on the face l saw it was my friend who had only aminute before spoken to me. He was quite dead And when an examination was made, it was discovered that he had died of heart diseasa. and so near to me that l could almost have touched him. Possibly could not have been of any service to him if I had seen him when he first rang tho bell, but the possibility that might so affected mo that from that day to this I have had my office as near my bed as I could yet 1t "Exohange.
