love dogs more or sheep less: but because

A Startling Truth.

1t may sound little startling, but
it is said to be true, that more young
men are learning trades in penitcn-
tiaries than outside of them, because
the parents are trying to make
clerks, doctors, lawyers, and even
preachers out of material intended
for blacksmiths, carpenters and 9th r
trades for mechanics.

BREAKING THE STRAIN.
How a DiEnified Statesman Renewed
the Memories of Youth and
Quieted His Nerves.

A score of years ago there sat In the
halls of congress a man who was noted
for his dignity and reserve. He rare
ly smiled, and even his most intimate
friends never discovered in his con-
duct an evidence of that relaxation
which is considered imperatively nee
essary to the health of mind and body.
One day he received a card of an
old playmate, one whom, in his child
hood, he had INDUCED in many romp
and many frolic. He responded to
the card by calling at the house desig-
mated.
"Tom," he said, 81 am so tired, mind
and body, that it seems to me that
can carry the burden of life no longer.
] must do something to break the
strain on my nerves."
Tom laughed. Let me make sug-
gestion,- he said. He took up knife,
cut the cords that held a couple Of
bulky parcels and shook out number
of heavy carriage robes and rugs,
touched bell, gave orders to have
roaring fire in the crate, and to pro-
vide whatever was likely to be required
in the way of beverages for the entire
evening. He took his friend down to
dinner. When they returned the fire
was blazing brightly and the room had
that genial warmth so grateful to a
weary mind and body. The lights were
extinguished, the door was locked and
word was sent to the office that num-
Der - was out. The friend spread
the robes and rugs on the floor in front
of the CRATE.
.Do you remember7" he said, with a
smile.
Indeed do" was the response. II
remember the evenings and evenings
that you and / lay on the big rug be-
fore the fire."
Coats and boots of, slippers and
lounging jackets donned, they dropped
ON the rugs before the CRATE and went
back over the path Of life to the days
of their boyhood, cracked nuts and
ate apples by the light of the logs in
the fireplace.
Every night for week found these
statesmen in identically the same
place and engaged in the same amuse-
lnent. Near the end of the time his
friends were remarking how much bet
ter he was looking and what had he
done to produce such change.
Visiting with my old friend" was
the only reply he rnade, and the old
friend and be exchanged many a suiis

DANCE WITH SPURS.
One of the Ball Room Miserfes Whicn
English Society Giris Must
Endure.

In any crowded Americn ball room
women run the risk OF having their
dresses torn. but there is one infiic-
ton from which custom holds them
safe. That is the necessity OF dancing
with a man who wears spurs. In Eng
land--and, for that matter, on the
continent. too--a ball is hardly ever
considered smart unless there are
present few army officers in uniform,
all of them wearing spurs. An Eng
lish girl now on visit to this country
expresses undying respect for the So
cial law which prohibits spurs from
entering ball room. Her rea-
sons may be found in the following
incident, which she related to some ac-
auaintances after having attended
her first dance on an American toor:
Every girl of course remembers her

Horrible Accident.

On Tuesday morning about $3.50 as
the merchants and business men were
getting ready for the days trade,
they were startled by the sharp
report Of a gun. Some parties who
CHANGED to be on the street near
Meeker & Fleming's corner noticed
that the report seemed to come from
inside their jewelry store. They i'm
mediatly rushed in and a freaful
sight met their gaze. There on the
floor in pool of his own blood, lay
poor Ed Meeker just breathing his
last. Kind hands raised his head
and spoke to him, but death had
claimed his own.
Ed had just been in the back room
showing his gun, of which he was
very proud, to an express adjustor
who was sitting there writing, and as
he passed into the front room the re-
port was heard. Ed had probably not
known that the gun was loaded, and
In passing around TO set 1T against
the safe, where he usually kept it, he
in some unexplainable manner struck
the hammer against something and
the whole charge passed directly
through his heart.
Poor Ed was one of the jolliest
whole souled boys in town. Always
in a good humor and always ready for
any innocent fun. Universally liked
and a friend to all, he will be sadly
missed.
He leaves a loving young wife and a
little child, to which he was much
attached and his devoted parents who
are distracted with grief.
Ever mindful of his loved ones, be
carried a large insurance which will
nut his family beyond want. Yet
how poor a consolation is this TO his
loved ones intheir great bereavement.

THE SPEECH.

OfFM Bcnetiel last Saturday night
in Williams hall was the right kind
Of political speech. 1t dealt in facts
and figures and pure logic. He hit
the Pops some stunning blows.
His propositions are simply unansw-
cradle and he left the opposition no
possible ground on which TO stand. Mr.
Benetiel gave those present chance at
any time to ask any question they
might see fit. and challenged any man
they might select to meet him in a
discussion of the silver question.
There was not large audience pre-
sent, the hall being about two thirds
full. hut it was very appreciative
one that listened for two hours to Mr..
Benehel.
The speech was regular eye opener
to many who thought they believed Ia
free silver, several who have been vot-
ing with the Pops for the last two OF
three years on the free silver issue
alone, since they heard Mr.. Benetiel
say they have voted their last Pop
ticket.
A few more such speeches through
out the state and there will be no Pop
party.
