Farmer Sam Simpson, says the Ell
Dorado Republican, sset his son Sammy
to narrowing in a field Of fan rye the
other day, but after an hour Sammy
left the team in the field and went fish
ing in the creek. The old man dfscov-
cred that Sammy had abandoned his
work, so he got giant frecracker,
slipped down to the creek, and explo-
ded the cracker right behind the boy.
When the smoke cleared away Sammy
was discovered in the creek, and the
old man had quite a time saving him
In the meantime the team had run
away, moving down about an acre Of
corn with the harrow, tearing up the
and cucumber patches and
knocking over a pig-gen and killing a
young pOrker- The daughter, who was
on the porch, ran in to tell
her mother, and upset the churn. The
next morning the old man went to
town TO have his harrow Fixed, and told
the newspaper man that them thar

The newspaper wits have insinuated
that, should fate decide against the
permanent recovery Of the Prince of
Wales, and he should be left with a
slight limp, limpiDg would become a
fashionable fad.
There is nothing new in this. and it
would not be the first time that physl-
cal defects set a style. The Alexandra
limp became the fashion in 1874. In
that year the Princess Of Wales was
afflicted with q lameness in one Of her
knees. Only a slight limp HAs the re-
suit, but this limp vas caught up and
Initiated by the ladies Of the court. and
then by a large proportion Of the wom-
en- Of England. Not a few Of the WON
en- Of America also aped the fashion.
The long trains which were 50 popu-
lar and so offensive a feature Of the
Of the early seventies, grew
out Of the fact that Queen Victoria,
owing to q painful swelling, had been
obliged to wear bandsges on her foot.
To conceal the bsndsges, she Iengthen-
ed her skirts. Her dutifuI subjects
straightwsy heightened their skirts
also.

Perfect Home.

The most perfect home I ever saw
a little house into the sweet incense Of
whose fires went no costly things. A
thousand dollars served as a years liv-
ing for father, mother aud three child
rem. But the mother was the creator
of home; her relations with the child
rem were the most beautiful L have ever
seen; every inmate Of the house involu-
tariIy looked into her face for the key
note Of the day, and 1t always rang
clear. From the rose bad or clover
leaf, which in spite Of her hard house
work she always found time to put be-
side our plates at breakfast, down to
the story she had on hand to read in
the evening, there was no intermissiOn
of her influence. She had always been
and always will be my ideal Of a moth
er, wife and home maker. If to her
quick brain, loving heart and exquisite
face had been added the appliances Of
wealth and engagements Of wide cul-
ture, hers would have been absolutely
the ideal home. As it was, it was the
best I have ever seen.-Helen Hunt

State Treasurer Crimes announces
that he will resume the stamping Of
warrants mot paid for want Of funds"
about the middle Of September. How
the republicans hOWled about pOpUlist
incompeteney, populist extravaganza
and bankrupt treasury when HehebOW-
er used the stamp. But when the pure
Stanley administration scrapes the
bottom Of the treasury twice within six
months not a howl is heard from the
2. o. D. patriots. What excuse can they
find for the poor financial showing?
The state levy was increased from 4 to
81 mills, which gives about $4,000
more to the republican treasurer than
to the pOpuIist treasurer, but in spite
Of this fact the general fund is not
sufficient to pay the state expenses.

Young manhood seems bhRhted to-
day by the pernicious habit of living
in advance Of ones income, antieipat-
ing in a dangerous way, the uncertain
future. The expending Of money on
useless frivolities, the loading ones
self down with desirable but Oftentimes
unnecessary things, purchased on the
installment plan, the careless IOaning
Of money, and reckless investing, to
gether with the positive sin Of gamb-
ling-these things, so common in our
day-are steadily eating up the fnan-
cial reserve Of our young men and OBJ
hging them constantly to face the
menace Of poverty, dependence, and
disgrace.
The yOung man Who is always at his
wits end as to how to get money en-
Ough to meet his abnormal obligations
is subjected to severe temptations to
unfairness, dishonesty aud theft. The
man who lives within his income, who
does not mortgage the future, who con
stantly lays aside something, even at q
sacrifice in present comfort, is, after
AL the man freest from temptations,
the most settled In his life, and the
most content with his Work.-Walteri

Rev. Clay MacAuley, for 20 years

already piled so high, of the iniquity
OF the Philippine job. From his
long residence in the Philippines he
is peculiarly we'll qualified TO under
stand its condition, and he went to
Manila carly in January where he
says he found we were then on the
verge of war, a fact that the censor
ship concealed from us at the time.
In Il letter to the Boston Trans
script Mr.. MacAuley says that Gen.
Otis, himself, while obeying orders,
has no heart in the work, and he
said to Mr.. MacCauley last January :

Admiral Dewey was even more
emphatic as the reverend gentleman
quotes him, saying he profoundly

but he twas powerless to act" and

clared: "Rather than make war
of conquest of this people l would
up anchor and sail out of the har-
bOr."
