been uniformly successful. He standsEforevery principle which has
brought prosperity to the country. His ideas on the money ques-
ton are pronounced in favor of an honest and stable currencv-a
dollar that is worth a dollar the world over. Mr.. Dahles views
along this line form a happy contrast to the free silver heresies
proclaimed by his Democratic opponent, Editor Jones, two years
ago, but who now has hedged and is for anything and everything

Jones and are not likely to favor him.at the polls. A vote for Mr..

DANGEROUS SMELLS,
scents That Kill More Surely Than O.
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.

Some smells are dangerous. A single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic
acid will kill a man as quickly as a shot
through the heart. The odor of a bad
egg is due to the presence of sui
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly to the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, says
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells. Berzelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium,' once
tried the experiment of permitting a
bubble OF pure hydrogen selenide gas
to enter his nostril. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the olfactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzed. Selenium gas
has the odor Of putrid horseradish.
Tellurium is even worse. There is a
story Of a physician whose patient, a
Lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was so fond of
being always on the go in society. He
gave her a pill containing a small guam
tity of tellurium, and her breath was
affected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
a month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volatized essential
oil of roses is supposed to cause rose
cold" This peculiar complaint is so
far nervous in its character that paper
roses sometimes excite it.

ROSTERS WOODEN LEG.
The Manned Fowl Acquires Unusual
Dexterity and Is Always WILL
ing to Fight.

A rooster hat strut about with a
wooden leg is the rather unusual sight
to be seen on a farm a few miles from
MiddletOwn, N. Y. The rooster lost one
Of its legs last summer as the result of
too intimate acquaintance with a NOW
ing machine. 1t vas only a chick at
the time, and Mr.. Ma pes son found it
soon after it had been injured and cared
for it. The leg had been cut off just be-
low the knee joint, and the boy, after
the wound had healed, cut a piece of
stout twig to the right length and-tied
it tightly to the stump Of the leg. The
chicken seemed much surprised and
was very awkward at first, but it soon
became accustomed to the use Of the
artificial leg and learned to run about
on it at almost as well as if the leg had
been its natural one.
The wooden leg has been renewed
several times. Last winter, when it was
icy, the rooster had a hard time keeping
it's footing, and when it took a tumble
it was by no means easy for it to regain
an upright position. 1t was also very
difficult for it to make it's way about
through the o but now it asks no
odds of any of the fowls on the place
and is ready at any time to fight with
n other rooster that gives it cause
for battle.

IMPROVED ELECTRIC LAMP.
Cue DtsaEreeaEIe Feature of Old
Lamps Is Eliminated in q
New Invention.

Many schemes, such al ground and
colored glass, have been tried with the
idea of eliminating the d~isagreeabIe
glare from the tiny fIament of the
electric light, but all of them have
been attended by loss of light. What
Is said to change the surface of the
globe entirely into a luminous body,
doing away with the extreme brilliance
of the flament, is the spiral feature.
This is done by winding around the
globe, from the spike to the tip, a thin
cord of glass, like the cord wrapped
around a top, says the Chicago Journal.
The manner in which the spiral Is ap-
piled to the bulb is interesting. 1t is
made first out of rod glass bent on a
sharper of the same form as the par
ticular sample of glow lamp, and in its
separate state is quite a springy affair.
To get it on the bulb it is divided half
way down, the halves are blown togeth-
er when in place, and the end of the
spiral is blown into the spike of the
lamp. The other end is secured by an
extension of the brass cap. It will be
observed that there is actual junction
only at the two poles, so that there is
no danger of the bulb cracking under
the strain of unequal heating and ex-
pansion in the spiral. An important
point in the whole matter is hat there
seems nothing in the process to pre-
vent the finished articles being turned
out quite cheaply, which, of course, is
the essence of the business from a
commercial point of view,

THE DRuMMERs CHRISTMAS.
Closing of Another Year nnd what
II SIgnilleN to MnnX.

II Signifies to Many.
The year Is about to draw to close
and the travelling men are gradually wind
ing UP their labors In order to spend few
days with their loved ones at home. Nobody
can appreciate the. word home" better
than the man who from one month to the
next one, from one year to another has to
spend his days amongst strangers, who can
never lay down his head on a pillow which
Is his own, who can never tarry long
enough in one place to be anything but a
stranger. Those who are happy enough
to have gotten themselves home and a
family OF their own. those who can 20 and
spend Christmas with their old lather ana
mother and their loving sister--al those
can not appreciate as much what it means
TO be always stranger, never to enjoy
the comforts of home except as a guest. as
those who even on Christmas can not be
with any loved ones. About this time
when frosty wind blows against the win
dow panes. when the sun is hidden behind
gray clouds and nature herself seems
wrapped in sorrow. then you will see the
bachelor drummer sit In his room, his
head rested on his elbows. For the once
he does not study about trade he dreams;
h. tries 10 forget the present by letting
pictures OF the past come before him. lie
remembers happy poyhood AT nome WlVn
many jolly Christmas Eve; he dreams
of his dear parents. who are perhaps far.
far away from him, and then he has be-
come big boy. quite an important boy.
and he has started to make living Tor
himself; he smiles while he remembers
the evening when he escorted a girl homa
for the first time AMI he has looked into
many pretty pair of eyes since; perhaps
into one of them deeper than into the 9TH
ers but he does not even dare TO con-
fess that to himself; he dreams of a happy
future but he awakes from his reveries;
the fire has gone out; he feels chilled. 1t
is only a few days until Christmas nothing
to do. nothing to hope. nothing to work
for; but lock. the sun tries to break through
the clo.ds and one little sunbeam strikes
the drummer and 1t Is answered by a
little raw of light within him. He tries
to throw off his melancholy feeling. and
who knows. another Christmas will not
see him so sad again Perhaps he may
have found some one who will not let him

WARNING TO MEMBERS.
why Your Ducs should he Paid by
January I.


january 1.
The first day OF January Will soon be
here and on or before that day most of the
members OF the T. P. A. will have to
pay their semi annual dues This is an I'M
portart duty and one, which IL neglected,
will cause you to lose the best and cheap
est insurance which you can get to protect
you and your family If you should meet
with an accident.
But there are other points to be consid-
cred besides your insurance. You lose your
membership In an organization which has
grown in Importance and influence In such
n degree that any member can with pride
point to the fact that he belongs to it.
Would you like to have to confess on oc-
casions when we are so magnitcently en-
tertainel and honorod, as in Dallas and
Houston for instance, that you used to De
member once, but do not belong to the
T. T.. A, any more?"
Don't you think II would be better to
avoid dangerous delays and send your
little Y TO your post secretary or Mr.. Lud-
low at once?
