Reflections OF a Bachelor

As SoOn as 4 man gets too fat and
acts eccentric, he begins to be known
as an able" man.
Love is Il good deal like Il radish.
The part you see is all right, but the
deeper you 20 the smaller it tapers
off.
y great man never knows how little
and mean he is or il little man
how great and noble he i. till they
get married.
y woman can never understand
what her husband did before he had
her to tell him VIXEN to take off his
thick underclUthes.
When she explained about how she
came to leave the Carbon eff Eden.
Eve probably said II was on account
oi the i"soIence of the i%anitor.
y new woman always reminds yoa
of an old joke.
y man i IL poor a. h" looks. and
Il woman a. poor a. her husband
looks.
The main reason why women ought
not to be allowed 10 vote is because
they ike cats.
The tighter Il girls corse;s are the
nor cheated she feels when "a IL
puts his arm around her.
Without men wotsld become
.css cultured: without men, women
wonld lapse into savagery.
When L girl has nan calling on
nrr with i muatache she always hates
to sneeZe for fear the folk in The other
room will misunderstood it.
\ woman never completely loves Il
man unless Ii" l. sometimes hs1Ital 20

Every Girl HIS the belief hat she |
can care 4 certain mans headache by

When a girl wants to get married.

An exchange tells of a somewhat
mean nan who inserted the following
lad in a western newspaper:
''Notice-My wife, Della Stacy, hav-
ing left my bed and board, | will not
be responsible for any debts she may
contract after this date. John Stacy"
In the next issue of the same paper
the wife had her revenge in this way:
''Notice-My husband, John Stacy.

vide for me, | am now taking in wash

News service Extended.

The st. Louis Republic recently
made arrangements with the cable
companies, whereby direct news from
all the civilized world are received.
1t now prints more authentic foreign
news than any other paper andcontin-

for the year is one of big news events,
fast succeeding each other and they
will be highly interesting to every
one. The price of The Republic daily

\ Significant Incident.

\ Significant Incident.
An incident of the Presidents visit
to Nashville that constituted one of
the most touching features of the &C.
c%asion, and gave Il picturesquences to
the procession that moved out Broad
street Friday morning, was the mount
ed escort of Confederate veterans who
I accompanied the President as a guard
OF honor. The MANNED and grizzled
veterans wore their old gray uniforms
and looked as fearless and heroic as
in the days when they rode with For
rest Or stood firm under the leaden
hail of battle.
But there was a significance in this
instance beyond the mere sentiment of
the occasion. There have been Il great
many friendly meetings of the Blue
and the Gray. The war has been over
many years, and the Confederate
soldiers have always demonstrated
their full acceptance of the result.
They have no apologies for the past.
That is full of glory for them, though
it ended in defeat: yet they live in the
light of the living present and dis
charge the duties that the present de-
vOlycs-not in any sulking or recall
citrant mood, but with a sense of the
rights that are theirs as American
citizens.
All OF this the eX-Confederates have
frequently demonstrated in their con-
tact with their former foes. Their at
titude in this particular is well known.
and has added to their reputation for
generous manhood and u%nfaltering
patriotism. but there was a deeper
significance of the eX-Confederate
body guard of the President. that it
may be well to take into consider
alton.
The eX-Confederates who accom-
panied the President in the parade
were not only his enemies in times of
war, thirty years age, but they have
been mostly his political opponents
since that time, and were against him
only seven months ago. in one of the
most heated political campaigns that
ever shook this country. Yet they
didn't hesitate to demonstrate their
respect for the great office ofPresident
of the United States and all that the
Office represents.
Should this country ever bc sub
jected to that radical ~upheaval which
some pessimists of revolutionary pro-
pensltles are so fond of prophesying.
the eX-COnfederate soldiers who may
then survive will be found on the con-
sentative side. Anarchy and social
ism may take root with certain ele-
ments in the Northern cities, but the
people of the South will stand for Inc
government established by the fathers,
and will defend it with their life
blood, if needs be. as they defended
their rights under the constitution in
the late war.
1t was the respect the South has for
established government that WAS best
illustrated in the honors shown The
during bis visit 10 this city.

Business Continues to Revive.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
tariff bill has not yet been placed upon
the tariff books, and thattherevivalof
industries and business cannot be ex-
pected to make itself apparent ina full
degree until such action shall be
had, the reports from business cen-
tres which reach members of congress
are extremely gratifying. Dun's Re-
view, which is accepted as Il reliable
business barometer, not controlled or
influenced by political or other causes
which would affect its accuracy, pre-
sent5 the most satisfactorytrade state
ment for last week that has been made
since the present business depression
began. The statement was remark
able in its showing of the decided de-

branches of trade and in reports of
unusual activity in all the industries

number than at any time in the last
thirty-siX months, while the volume
of business transacted is, in quantity,
larger than in 1892. the year of our
greatest prosperity, the slight re-
duction in value being due to the
smaller prices paid for the articles OF
commerce handled. When it is re-
membered that this happens before the
new tariff bill gets upon the statute
books, and with the industries of the
country depressed by the importations
of foreign goods at the rate of over Il
hundred millions a month. the inn
provement thus noted is very remark

MAXWELL STANDS FIRM.

The Mckinley Republicans of this
section are making strong claims OF de
sertion of prominent silver men to their
ranks. Taking advantage of the absence
of Senator James P. Maxwell. they in
dustriously circulated the report that he
had gone back to the GO. P. The ru-
NOR was not deemed worthy of denial by
us, although we felt assured of its falsity.
Senator Maxwell, who has just returned
from long and sd trip to Steamboat
Springs, was exceedingly angry when
fusion Chairman Ward reported the
rumor to him today. In the strongest
terms be characterized the report as
false and absurd.
II have no connection whatever with
Mckinley Republication and abominate
and despise the whole layout" said Sen.
ator Maxwell. II am more strongly
convinced than ever that without free
coinage this country will enter period
Of endless and miserable depression and
you may count me Silver Republican,

connection, but never gold or McKin-
