DIfYerent Uniforms.

The regulation wardrobe for a Sec
ond lieutenant Of marines costs $500.
His salary is $1,000 a year, besides
board and lodging. The American
workingman with patches on his
trousers and nine-dollars-a-week job
pays the salary and buys tie uniforms,
And, if he votes for imperialism next
election he will deserve to continue
paying for it-and wearing patched
clothes.-Justice.

Simplicity of Food.

A sick headache" is often caused
by eating too much and too often rich
food, and taking too little exercise.
Substitute a simple, plain meal and
dessert of fruit for too much meat and
too many rich dishes, and earn what
you eat "by the sweat of your brow"
Nature abhors lazy folks, and still
more laziness accompanied by gour-
mandizing.

Suppose each voter in the United
States, before casting his ballot at each
election, should seriously ask himself
and seriously answer this question:
Am l now really about to vote, or
am l now really about to be voted by
some persons who have in fact the
steering hand upon my party's ma
chinery for the making Of the ticket
l am about to put in the ballot box?"
Would it lead to different results?-L
A. Russell, in the Public.

The earth is our mother. Remember
that. The earth is our mother. Let
this potent truth be burned into your
brain. Other things are important, but
the most important thing Of all is to
settle equitably the relation of all men
to their mother, SO that none shall be
disinhcrited. While some men are al
lowed to hold land idle. other men
must starve or work for starvation
wages. The land monopoly is the
great parent and breeder of all other
monopolies.-Jer Simpsons Bayonet.

THE REBELLlOUS TRAVELLER.

A Clergyman and an Editor were
walking together. when they espied
the Mayor of their Village sitting on a
Fence and holding an evil-looking
Club; while in the Distance Traveller
approached.
MY journalistic Instinct tells me, "
said the Editor, that the Man on the
Fence is contemplating a criminal Ag-
gression upon yonder Traveller"
In that Case replied the Clergy
man, ut is my Duty as a Teacher of
Morality to persuade our Brother from
his evil lntention.'
YES said the Editor, land as
also am a Conserver of Morals | will
aid you in your Task"
So they reasoned with their Fellow
Villager on the Sinfulness OF acquiring
Property by forcible Annexation, urg-
ing him to refrain from any violent
act. The Man on the Fence spoke
them fair; nevertheless, when the
Stranger came up. the Man on the
Fence rushed at him and knocked him
down.
The Traveller offered a stubborn Re-
sistance, and the Clergyman and the
Editor watched the Combat. The
Editor was the first to speak. Clear
ly," said he, 1T was our Duty to rea-
son with the Mayor SO long as he only
contemplated the Robbery. But now
that he is attacked, we cannot permit
the Traveller to escape. In the eyes Of
the World the defeat of our Mayor
would dshonor us"
THE Lord be with us in our pa
triotic Efforts" said the Man of God
Let us first sustain our Village Hon
or, and after the Rebellious Traveller
has been Subdued, we may arrange
about the Disposition of his Effects"
Therefore, with one Accord, the
Guardians of Morality rushed into the
Fray, and sat on the Traveller while
the Mayor benevolently assimilated his
Purse. When last seen the Clergyman
was opening a little Bible, to convert
the Traveller before the latter died of
his wounds; while the Editor dictated
Scare Head for a special Edition;
and the Mayor paraded the Flag of the
Free.

The river guages on the different
rivers yesterday showed very little
water. At Fairmont it was only
two inches, at West Newton on the
Youghiogheny it was one inch, on
the upper Allegheny it was only
two inches and in the Ohio at Davis
Island dam it was officially given at
two feet, but there are places be-
tween the dam and Wheeling where
it is only six inches. The possibili-
ty of coal shipment seems very
remote. There is however greater
amount of coal and other freight on
the Monongrhela awaiting a raise
than for many years, and when it
does come the shipment will be a
record breaker.
