HE FOUND EXPRESSION.
Dentists Victim Who Found Vent
for All His Emotions.

The dentist whistled merrily as he
went about his work. 1t seemed as
if he knew that he would have to do the
whistling for two and was rather glad
OF it.
First, he put the patient in a chair
and then he tipped the chair back until
his victim was helpless. After that he
DID little probing with an exagger-
ated knitting-needle until the patient
gave Jump that nearly lifted him out
OF the chair, whereupon he inquired in
surprised tone:
Does it hurt?''
Does it hurt?'' repeated the patient.
We'll, | should think it did,
"Oh, Well, that will be all right now, "
returned the dentist with an air of
calm confidence, as he got out rubber
dam and proceeded to make the patient
speechless.
Then he resumed his whistling, while
he was getting an array of tools out
in front of the patient and otherwise
doing what he could to make him feel
uncomfortable. A little more probing
followed, and when he had one of his
sandspikes located on a nerve he called
an able-bodied boy in from the next
the other end of the spike, the idea
probably being to strengthen the boys
muscles SO that he will be in good trim
for a tackle when the next football sea-
son gets here Twice he stopped to
ask Does it hurt?" but, of course a
rubbery, blubbery sound was the only
answer.
The steam drill came after fifteen or
twenty minutes of rock excavation by
hand, and, when it struck, the patient
jumped so high it seemed as if blast
had been touched off
Does it hurt?' asked the dentist in
the same tone of sorrowful inquiry,
and it was evident from the way the
rubber dam moved that the man be-
hind it was endeavorng to say some
thing
Of course, there comes a time when
even the patience of man in a dentists
chair may be exhausted, and now and
then the man with the triumphant
smile and the corksrew tools overplays
himself, as it We're. 1t was, according
to be the best information at hand,
just after the dentist had said, Does
it hurt?" for the eleventh time that
the man in the chair tore off the dam
and began operations on his own ac-
count. Not more than five minutes
later he stood over bruised and
disheveled dentist and delivered him
self as follows:
Il amt kickin' about bein' hurt I
Kin stand the hurt. l allus expect to
git hurts in a dentist chair, but there
amt no dentist livin' kin drive spikes
into me an then gloat over it an git
away without gittin' hurt some hisself.
Now, if you want to git up here an
tend strictly to business an just take
it for granted that when I jump four
feet / amt doin' it to amuse you, come
ahead. But 1 don't want no more
dunn fool questions an no more gs1oatin'.
specially when you've go me gagged
an ON my ck.''-Chicago Post.

stand, Capitalization of business enter
prices in vast companies, requiring
many less men in the aggregate than
a similar volume of business would
formerly; the invasion of women Of

on. But we are optimistic enough to

OUR EXPORTS INCREASING.
Marysville Appeal: The American
export trade does not seem to have
suffered during the past year despite
the fearful walls OF Democrats that the
enactment of protective tariff law
would ruin our trade abroad. The offic-
ial figures show that for the twelve
months of 1897 American exports of
merchandise reached the enormous to-
tai of 81 ,099, log, $40, being an increase
of So. 100000 over 1886. The excess
of exports over imports was S3o6, 1885,
664.
WILL THERE BE A COMBINATION?
Riverside Press: 1t is not altogether
certain that there will be combination
between the Populists and Democrats
throughout the State at the next cleo
ton. Some of the leading Populists
believe that their party is the great
party of the future, and is destined TO
oyerwheim both the Republicans and
Democrats. To accomplish that pur-
pose, however, they believe that the
Peoples party must stand upon its own
principles and vote for its own candi-
dates and not appear in the ignoble
role of mere trader and bargainer in
offices. They point out the fact that
no great party was ever established by
combinations with other parties, and
that all fusion organizations have been
short lived, the best established party in
the fusion always absorbing the disor-
ganized and demoralized weaker party.
THEIR PROTEST
Oakland Tribune: Those protests of
the Kentucky Colonies against the pro-
posed christening of the battleship
Kentucky with water instead of whisky
show how heavily the blow will fall on
them if the present programme is car
ried. out. Whisky first and then let the
ship take water afterwards-that seems
to them to be the only natural way Of
doing things and if the proposed tenn
perance plan is carried out they will
never be enthusiastic about the ship
nor regard it as representative of the
blue grass State.
THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
Yreka Journal: President McKinley's
Cuban policy has not been changed one
iota by the Democratic hubbub in the
House last week He stands now just
where he has stood from the beginning,
and when he makes a move, it will be
because of happenings in Cuba and not
because of bowling among Democrats.
For weeks this Government has been
ready to move at the proper tim-when
it shah in the eyes of the civilized
world be justified in moving to bring
about peace in Cuba. II will not delay
because of lying Spanish news from
Cuba, any more than it will hurry be-
cause of Democratic ranting. The Re-
publicans in Congress are supporting
this policy solidly, and are likely TO
continue to do so, notwithstanding
Democratic prophecy to the contrary.

THE BELEW CASE.

The poisoner Below at Suisun has
made a complete confession ito ease his
conscience He says he deliberately
and premeditatedly murdered his broth
er and sister for two reasons-they
tainted him about his wife and they
were too happy" His attorney, learn
ing Of the confession, told the fiendish
murderer that he had made mistake. -
In that the murderer's counsel is mis-
taken. His duty is to see to it that the
prisoner has all his lawful rights pre-
served to him. Beyond that he has no
warrant for going. Now that his client
has confessed his guilt he ought to be
pleased that justice is more likely TO
be done than if the poisoner had held
to denial.
Below says he does not want to be
hanged; that he hopes the Judge will
be merciful because of the making of
Below, having fiendishly killed his
brother and his sister, now desires society
to save his neck from the moose because
he admits his crime. On that basis half
the murderers in the land would like to
be saved from the scaffold. 1t happens
that the Judge has nothing to do with
the penalty, however. and Below will
hang or not, as jury of his country
may determine.
OF course, 1t will now be set up that
the fellow is insane, irresponsible and
all that. That his frankness in confess
ing in Itself proves his mental unbal-
ance. But while that is simple nonsense,
If for arguments sake it is conceded, the
murderer is sane enough to hang. He
was sane enough to murder, to run
around the county for months with his
usual habit, and showing no insanity in
his demeanor or conversation. He was
not apparently dangerous to be at large,
and defended himself against suspicion
with ability. He was getting ready to
not been arrested when he was would
have escaped the law. Now he blub-
bers, calls on God to help him, and
wants the court to be merciful and con-
slider that his confession saves the coun-
ty some trouble in trying him.
There will be found people who will
hold that that the cowardly poisoner is
"out Of his mind" that he is crazy
and all such twaddle. Below should
have the rope and as short shrift as the
law permits.

EFFECyT OF INTRODUCTION OF
MACHINERY.

AS evidence that machinery widens
and multplies employment and oppor-
tunity. Mr. H. G. Wadln in "Donahoe's
Magazine" cites a long list Of proofs.
Some OF these are related to printing,
the mechanical improvements in which
have so cheapened the output of print
ing Offices that those read abundantly
now, who before had not even the op-
portunity.

was one news illustrator twenty years
ago there are now one hundred and
more.
He does point out that so great has
been the process Of photo-lithography
that the old block processes have now
practically ceased OF use and he adds
that there Were engaged no fewer than
5000 persons in photo engraving at the
close of the last census. To that figure
he should have added the large num-
Der engaged in the cheaper processes OF
illustration.

All sensible people will agree to let
ter and syllable with II. l.. Clapp in his
recent paper in the Popular Science
Monthly when he says:
To spend large sums of money on
architectural beauties and stone cary
ings of historic ornaments-which have
but little attraction for children-to
make a school building look like pal
ace and then to leave the school yard
looking like a desert or the top of
bituninous lake without a single at
tractive flower or one bit of beauty, are
inconsistencies which seem possible
only in the modern system Of educa-
ton. Weather beaten houses in the
country log cabins on the frontiers
railroad stations in the Great Amer
lean Desert and all over our country
have their beautiful flower gardens, and
it refreshes ones soul to see them: but
there is no such source of refreshment
inspiration and instruction where chill
dren are being educated in the essen
tails"
There are some exceptions, Mr.. Clapp,
some notable ones; but as rule your
statement is true The exteriors and
surroundings of most schoolhouses are
not calculated to Joy" the heart or
make glad the soul of the child, to say
nothing of their failure to cultivate
good tastes and awaken artistic in
