the Sunday Light.
lCopyrighted by Dave & Taber)
All are familiar with the close rela-
tion supposed to exist between great
titled because it benefits the race.
Anything is better than monotony, as
the man said when half his hair turned
green The dull average individual
goes to form useful background, but
the bold outline and delicate light and
shade come from the eccentrics. One
likes variety even in tombstones, and
the world would be uncomfortable if we
were all painted alike and stuck in a
row like a picket fence.
: An in a row
How would the world look so?
Each house and street made trim and
And every man with the same sized
feet,
And every nose and hats and clothes
Fashioned the same wherever one
goes.
All alike from year to year,
Nothing to nope and nothing to fear,
Wouldn't the world grow sad and
drear?
Talking of eccentricity, how unpleas-
ant is must be to be an ostrich! 1t is
all very well to have a section of ones
hair pulled out occasionally by ones
lawful wife; but to be periodically de-
nuded of ones choicest curls is
lra toIy 20 I,,y-x
ing ones head in the sand, or drink or
some such folly! 1t must be like liv-
ing on an amateur volcano or next to
an energetic tribe of Indians. Person
ally I'd sooner be a hangman or an
more restful.
If had been an ostrich
With feathers worth a dollar,
I'd dress myself in human clothes
And wear a stand-up collar.
I'd go into a barber shop,
And say / wanted clipping,
And very quickly put stop
To such inhuman stripping.
Talking of ostriches, what a touch
ing episode is that of the young French
Prince in the hands of the revolution
airy ruffians who try in every possible
plan to make him degrade himself,
when he shrinks from temptation and
says proudly, II cannot, / dare not,
was born a king" Apply is uniyer-
sally, my friends; for we were all born
kings; rulers of a mighty empire;
princes IF a vast domain; monarchs
each and all a God-begotten soul. Yet
how few of us are equal to the dignity
that is ours by right! We do not rule;
but, with slack sails and idle tiller, let
things drift and drift, until some half
hidden rock sends a SILVER from stem
TO stern. Well for us If the first shock
be not too severe; If the damage be not
beyond repair. Well for us if, like the
young prince we realize the meaning
of the grand motto:
Nobleness Oblige.

A Te1e9rsphic Test.

How much actual time IL necessary
to transfer telegraphic message from
London to Valparaiso, Chill, was the
question propounded by some South
American editors last summer. The
reply was furnished by a special com.
munication, when an arrangement was
made with the telegraph and cable
companies to keep open the wires and
get the telegraphic results Of recent
sporting event to Valparaiso with the
lenst possible delay Mt the intervening
stations. Ten minutes before the mes
sage was to be sent the wires were
cleared along the entire distance and
all the ordinary communication
through the cables were suspended. At
the given astronomical time the dis.
patch was sent from London to Carcav.
ellos, whence the message was trans.
ferred through a submarine cable to
PernambucO, whercfrom the Brazilian
coast cable conducted the message TO
Buenos Ayres. 1t was from there dis
patched over the South American
Transcontlncntal Telegraph line and
arrived at Valparaiso fifty-five seconds
after leaving the London Office, al.
though the distance It had to travel in
this short space Of time amounted to
almost 10000 miles. and the eight
words of the message had to be repeat.

Some Plain Facts.

Crave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
With which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzlc or buy.
