An Invincible.

When Alcibiades was told that his
countrymen had passed sentence of
death upon him for being at the head OF
a conspiracy to overthrow the religious
and political constitution of Athens, he
said, II will show them ! still live. "
He obtained from Sparta assurance OF
personal safety and went hither. He de-
lighted and charmed the Spartans, as he
had the Athenians in his earlier years
He adopted their customs and dress and
was the strictest Spartan of them all.
He wore his hair short, bathed in the
icy waters of the Eurotes and ate their
black broth and barley bread They be-
lieved that he had been misrepresented.
In truth, as Plutarch said, she changed
color more quickly than chameleon. "
In Sparta be was grave, temperate and
fond of physical exercise; in Ionia he
was easy going, luxurious and merry,
IA Thrace he was drunken, in Thessaly
he was devoted to horsemanship and in
the court of the Persian satraps he sur
passed Tissaphernes himself in magnifi-
cence. AS Sparta was to be the prize OF
the Athenian victory he showed the
people their danger, advising them to
begin active operations against that
city. No better advice could have been
given them, and they profted by it.

The 0Wickadn Lonadale.

At meeting of the Poor Clergy Re-
lief society in London story was told
Of Bishop Waldegrave of Carlisle and
"wicked'' Lord Lonsdale. The bishop
rode we'll, and on his going up to Low
Their castle Lord Lonsdale admired his
horse and his management Of it. The
bishop pleaded the cause of a clergyman
passing rich on e40 year, whose well
educated wife took in tourists washing
to add to their scanty income.
Lord Lonsdale said: Everybody
looks ON me as very sinful man, be-
yond all possible hope of salvation. You
have spoken to me as a gentleman; you
have spoken to me like a good servant
of the great head of the church; you
have spoken to me encouragingly about
the salvation of even my poor soul; you
have pleaded the cause very nobly for
that young clergyman. Here is my
checkbook. Put down what you like,
and will sign it..
The bishop said, "No; that is mat
ter between God and you"
Lord Lonsdale gave the bishop a
check for e1O, 900 and afterward two
further checks for e20, 900 for poor
clergy of the diocese of Carlisle.

A Historic Wreck.


"In the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, {"
says Maturin M. Ballou in Due South.
ga sunken wreck is pointed out, par
TALLY visible at low tide, not far from
the shore. Only the ribs and stanchions
are still held together by the stout keel
timbers and lower sheathing This
wreck has lain here UNDECIDED for years,
yet what a story these old timbers
might tell had they only tongue with
which to give voice to their experience
Literally the experience of ages. +"
Reference is made to the remains of
the old st. Paul, one Of the ships Of the
great Spanish armada that Philip II
sent to England in 1888, being one of
the very few of that famous fotilla
that escaped destruction at the time
What historical memento is the old
wreck! After checkered career, in
which this ancient craft had breasted
the waves of innumerable seas and
withstood the storms of nearly three
centuries, che was burned to the wa
ter's edge here in the harbor Of Santi-
ago q few years since and sunk, where
her remains now lie, covered with slime
and barnacles-a striking emblem Of
the nation whose flag she once proudly
bore. New York Tribune.

How arAeral Burt Was rricked.

One day when General Andrew S.
Burt was lieutenant colonel of the Sew
enteenth United States infantry Cap
tain Charles A. Booth, then lieuten-
ant, met him ON the rife range.
Lieutenant Booth was shooting, and
he called" each shot as he fired, with
out waiting for the markers to signal
the result.
You're pretty good guesser, said
the colonel. "Why don't you admit
you're guessing where those shots
land?''
"I'll bet you box Of cigars" said
the junior officer, "that / can call 20
shots in succession.
Taken" said the old warrior.
Lieutenant Booth fired.
Miss, he announced, and a red flag
from the target told that this was cor.
rect.
Another shot.
Miss" he declared. A third shot.
"Miss again." he said. Fourth shot.
Fourth miss, announced Booth. An
other shot. Miss" again sang out the
lieutenant.
"Hold ON there" put in Colone!
Burt. "What are you trying to do?
thought you were going to Ere at the
target"
"I'm trying to win my box of CT
gars," said Lieutenant Booth.
Don't fire any more, " said the colo
mel. They're yours. Chicago Jour

The wise man who edits the Advo-
cate is pleased to call the editor of this
paper old fashioned. We acknowledge
we are little old fashioned. 1t must
feel nice to be new fashioned and
young, and vigorous and ambitious, to
have the blood of youth bound through
ones veins, to have new ideas, new
plans and to be able to execute them
rapidly, successfully, completely. We
wish we were not so old fashioned.
But the editor of the Advocate is so un-
generous as to say we are too radical
to beeasonable. How fine it must be
to be reasonable, like the editor
of the Advocate, to be able to
listen to an opponnt's state
ment of fact and to his argu-
ment, to weigh them carefully in the
scale against ones own opinions, leav-
ing out prejudice. Then he says we
are dreamy, that we dream visions
about our party and the like. 1t must
be comforting to one to know he rests
on truth, like the editor of the Advo-
cate, and that he doesn't dream nor soar
on imagination's wings, but stays close
to earth and good foundations. But
worst of all he says we know more of
raising whiskers than farming. If we
had only had the long farming exper-
fence the editor of the Advocate has
had, how happy we would be!

The virulent attacks on the conduct
Of the war, and especially on the care
of the soldiers, have their origin largely
i'll democratic schemes. That party
desires to break the force of advantage
the successful war gives to the party
III power. Proper criticism is all right,
out Misrepresentation concerning our
army is unpatriotic. Our army was
very hastily organized and the only

Let us see, Bro. Jim used to glory in
being high protective tariff republi-
can didn't he. His speeches when he
us Il republican had his hand in the
public money chest through republican
votes were all made on that line wasn't
they. A great many people who then
heard him will remember his delecta-
tons and outpourings regarding the
great work done by the grand old party
by its legislation tayoring the indus
tries and promoting the interests of the
laboring classes of the country. Bro.
jim used to boast then of his stalwart,
Interchangeable devotion to the grand
old party didn't he. Which side will
he take Oh the tariff question in this
campaign. Will he belle his former
speeches and positive averments and
jump over boots, body, soul and I'M
mentionables into the democratic fold
or will he stand 10y his former aver
