Capital has always claimed, ant

lied forces of society are against
them. Capital has the army and
the navy, the legislature, judici-
al and executive departments.
When the poor combine, it is a
conspiracy. If they act in con-
cert, if they really do something,
it is mob. If they defend them
selves, it is treason. How is it
that the rich control the depart
ments of the government ? In
this country the political power
is equally divided among men.
There are certainly more poor
than there are rich. Why should
the rich control ? Why should
not the laborers combine for the
purpose of controlling the exc
cutive, legislative and judicial
departments ? Will they ever
find how powerful they are ? In
every country there is a satisfied
class-too satisfied to care. The
satisfied class ask no questions
and answer none. They believe
the world is as it should be. All
reformers are simply disturbers
of the peace; when they talk low
they should not be listened to;
when they talk loud they should
be suppressed. To meet the
ragged and shivering makes one
almost ashamed to be we'll dress

his heart was as cold as their

1t is a remarkable as well as
unique engineering feat that was
performed recently in Colorado.
1t consisted in effect to the lift
ing of water across the backbone
OF the continent so that water
which naturally would have
found its way to the Pacific &C.
can now runs ultimately into the
Atlantic. The Denver Republi-
can says that number of small
streams on the other side of
Longs Peak, which flow into
Grand lake, and thence into the
Colorado river, have been divert
ed by o ditch that finds it's wav
through a pass 10000 feet high
into the headwaters of the Pour.
de. Some 400 cubic feet Der
second has thus been diverted
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
slope, where the water is used
used for irrigating additional
farms In Larimer county. 1t is
not strictly correct to say that
this water has been lifted across
5he range. But a feat of sinuous
engineering has diverted it. which
amounts to the same thing.

IN his interesting book, aThe Law
yers of Maine" Willis relates an anec-
dote of Judge George Thatcher, who
was noted for his humor.
Solicitor Davis and Judge Thatcher,
when boys, were neighbors in Barnsta-
BILE and Yarmouth, Mass. The day after
the battle of Bunker Hill tho militia
OF these towns set off for Boston. The
boys accompanied the soldiers, Davis
acting as fifer. A few miles ont from
Barnstable an order came directing the
military to return home.
In their retreat Thatcher and Davis.
tired of their march, mounted an old
horse they met on the road, without
saddle or bride. After riding some
miles they dismounted and abandoned
their steed in the highway.
Many years after Davis, as solicitor
general, was prosecuting horse thief
before Judge Thatcher in the county OF
Kennebeo, Me. In the course OF the
trial the judge leaned over the bench
and said in an undertone to the selic-
itor:
"Davy, this reminds me OF the horse
you and stole in Barnstable.

desperate Marauder.

A French actress travelling about the
country had for use in one of her plays
lay figure, skilfully put together and
dressed in a travelling suit So says a
contemporary, which proceeds TO tell a
comlcal story about 1t. At Marseiles it
was left In the luggage-room with other
things. The curiosity of two of the
railway employees being aroused at the
sight of 1t. they took of the covering
and resolved 10 play practical joke on
their comrades. They placed the figure
in an armchair at the cashiers desk,
and shut the door. When the employees
ON night service came they opened the
door, and were surprised TO see man
sitting before the cash-box. They i'm
mediately closed and locked The door
and ran for assistance. 4 policeman
arrived, revolyerln hand, believing, like
the employees that he had to deal with
a dangerous thief He called on the fig
ure to surrender and follow him to the
station. As II did not obey the sum
mons, the policeman shut the door and
went In search OF re-enforeements to
surround the place. and thereby pre-
vent the culprit from escaping. The
door was again opened. the armed force
entered, and 1t was not till they sud
denly pounced on the poor lay robber
that they discovered the joke.

Frederick AS a Fluiist.

Frederick the Great made generous
presents TO all musicians except flute
players. He played the tiute remark
ably well himself. and his proficiency
sometimes led TO acts that caused dis

and asked permission to play to tie

show his appreciation of his skill by
some valuable gift. Frederick received
him gracIously. and listened attentive
ly while he played difficult piece.
"You play very WELL" he said. land |
am very glad to have heard of such
ability. l will give you proof of my
satisfaction" So saying he left the
room. The musician waited, guessing
at the probable nature Of the proof. >
Presently the king returned with his
own flute aud played the same piece
which had Just been executed for him.
Then he babe his visitor "Good-day,"
saying: Il have had the pleasure Of
hearing you. and 1t was only fair that
you should hear me. "-Pittsburg Dis

y P. lie Grand. an Alabama farmer,
says that many negroes in the south are
ruined by mules, and he thinks he has
proved it. He OWNS a great deal of farm
land, which he rents 10 negroes ON con.
dition that they shall do their work
with an OK instead of a mule. As q re.
suit, all his tenants are prosperous and
pay their rent promptly. The OK. be ex-
plains, is entirely capable in all the re-
quirements of the cotton patch. but ne
has bis limitations. aud his colored mas
ter does not think of mounting him and
riding off ON useless errands or pleasure
trips As the negro cannot ride TO dis
tant churches, cake walks on "hoe
downs, and as he will not walk, he
goes to bed and is rested and ready for
labor in the morning
So far rs the inference from this ex-
pertinent goes. the negro, plus mule,
is shiftless and unreliable citizen, but
eliminate the mule and substitute an
or, and he becomes regular in his hab-
its. businesslike and prosperous. New

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.


A woman with the blues is very nm
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as

men. results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is q source of wonder that In this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS inwomen. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Livery woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. PinlSham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. L. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring. being in such
n weakened condition, caused me to
flow fornearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, ] wrote to YOU
for advice. After using the treatment
which yon advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. l
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you."
