In rhe torty-seventh year Of its life the Intelli-
gencer is stronger than in the nearly hafcen-
fury during which it has visited the homes of the
State. The year 1899 will begin a new epoch in
the history OF America. The developments of the
Spanish American war, and the new politics, for
eign and domestic, thereby made necessary, will
have momentous bearing the destiny of the
period since the days Of Clos. The debates in
Congress over the Peace Treaty with Spain will be
exciting and historic.
A United States Senator is to be chosen and in
this respect and others the session of the State
Legislature will be eventful and interesting. The

Joke on the Major.

The major, just returned from Bos'
ton, tells in strict confidence this story:
81 had engaged my berth and was
standing on the rear platform FIVE min
utes before the train pulled out Of the
Park square depot, when middle aged
woman and a handsome girl, both la
dies, passed me and entered the car,
accompanied by a gentlemanly looking
chap who carried their baggage A mo-
ment later this fellow rushed up to me
and said he was in a most embarrassing
position, had his sister and mother
aboard and had lost his mileage book.
He would introduce me to them and
give me any security for $50. l eaid
needed neither introduction nor eecur-
ity, but would give him S10-all l had
to spare. He insisted on giving me his
diamond scarfpin, and then rushed into
the station to see If he could get more
cash. AS the train pulled out without
him he came running wildly after it,
but had to give it up.
"Then the porter approached me
tentatively. Was that man annoying
your he said. 1 told him no. He in
sisted on carrying the baggage of two
ladies inside, sab, an-an-did he get
any money out of your
"'Of course he didn't, said l. but
took the first opportunity of examining
that pin. 1t was worth about five
cents. Buffalo News.

In the bushmen Of Australia we find,
perhaps. the lowest order of men that
are known. They are 80 primitive that
they do not know enough to build even
the simplest forms of huts for shelter.
the nearest they could approach to it
is to gather lot Of twigs and grass,
and, taking them into a thicket or jun
gle, they build a nest for home, much
as does bird. The nest is usually built
large enough for the family, and if the
latter be very numerous then the nests
are Of very large size.
Into this place they all turn and
snuggle and curl up together like so
mary kittens Sometimes the foliage
will grow together and for a sort Of
natural covering, but there is never any
attempt at constructing a protection
from the rain and storms, and it is a
marvel how they endure them.
But, though the bushmen Of Australia
are the very lowest in the scale Of ig-
norance, they possess a rare instinct,
that equals that of many animals and
is In its way as wonderful as man 8 rea-
son. 1t is almost impossible for them
to be lost. Even If they be led away
from their home, blindfolded, for miles,
when released they will unerringly turn
in the right direction and make their
way to their nest home, and, though
these are all very similar, they never
make a mistake.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Saved by Laugh.

A professional nurse at Leeds, Eng
land, was remarkably successful in the
care of patients suffering from small
pox, diphtheria or pneumonia. In fact,
she had never lost a patient with one
of these complaints. Not long ago, how
ever, she had a pneumonia case which
was given up by the physician, much
to the nurses chagrin.
"He can't live through the night.
said the doctor.
Sure enough, when the nurse went
to give the sick man his medicine, he
only shook his head. The distracted
nurse saw her proud record about to be
broken and she urged the patient to
take his dose.
''No use," he murmured.
"Well, SIR" said the nurse in de-
spair, "you've got to take it'll And il
you die I'll kill you 1"

A Point of View,

ray DesVllle, NY, July III, 1879.
One Fool Democrat says Goobel is an
honest shreWd leader, and worthy the
support OF any man; another equally
good Democrat, cries, "D>wn with Goe-
bel and political corruption" With all
these conflicting opinions and confusing
party cries ringing in my ears, l ask:
Who is right?
From my point Of view, cannot see
gubernatorial nominee or asplant, that
a man can conscientiously support. Goe-
bel is not the nominee OF the Democrat
ic party If the people are considered as
the party; if the people are not in it, why
then Goebel is the right man in the
right place, and should receive the sup
port OF every liberty loving, loyal Demo-
crat.
Some one has said Goebel should be
supported by every young man. l am

ancestors are concerned, mine, on both

Gratis since the food; but as sure as there
are political tricksters, | will not cast
my first vote for man, young or old,
who has practiced deception and dishOn-
esiy in order to place his name at TIE
head of a ticket. 1t may be that after
