The Later Jefferson.

The appeuauion of our later Jeffer-
son" fits VIM. j. Bryan perfectly, says
the Mississippi Valley Democrat. He
Possesses many OF the most marked
characteristics Of the first and great
est commoner. Like Jefferson, his faith
in the wisdom and justice of the plain
people amounts almost to an infatua-
ticn. He sets up that great mass Of
humanity" as Jefferson expressed it,
and remembers that it was created in
the image of its Maker-that it is the
temple wherein dwelleth the spirit of
eternal life. The people may 60 wrong
sometimes, on the spur of the moment
or under the pressure of great excite
ment, but in the end they will do what
is right, because the spirit Of justice,
as well as the spirit Of life, dominates
and inspires them.

We and They.

The great philosopher, John Ruskin,
said:
I'VE of the so-called '~educated
61asses. who take it upon us to be the
better and upper part of the world,
cannot understand our relations to the
rest better than we may where actual
life NAV be seen in front of the Shakes
pearian image from the stalls of a
theater. l never stand up to rest my
self and look around the house with
ont renewal Of wonder how the crowd
in the pit and the shilling gallery allow
us to keep our places. Think of it;
those fellows behind there have housed
and fed us; their wives have washed
our clothes and kept us tidy; they have
bought us the best places, brought US
through the cold to them, and there
they sit behind us, patiently, seeing
and hearing what they may. There
they pack themselves, squeezed and
distant, behind our chairs. We their
elect toys and pet puppets, oiled and
vanished and incensed, lounge in front
rlacidly, or, for the greater part, wear.

Present and Future.

You turn up your nose and scotf IN

tramp; but what assurance have you
that you will not be a tramp tomor-
row? asks the Beacon. Surprising YOU
have a job, you haven't a mortgage On
it; you don't know how long it will
last. Tomorrow your master may be-
come dissatisfied with you; perhaps a
younger, stronger, more active man
may offer to take your job at even less
wages; a labor saving machine that
will dispense with your skilled labor
may be introduced; your masters, who
for years have been bitter competitors,
may form a combination and decide to
curtail production, or any one of a
thousand other causes may result in
making you minus a job. Where are
you then? How far are you removed
from the road to the poor house? A
few weeks idleness, and you become a
wandering WILLIE" an outcast, one Of
those miserable individuals whom you
now so thoroughly despise.

Winter weather causes catarrh,
Everybody knows this. But everybody
does not stop to think that winter
weather delays the cure of catarrh. It
takes longer to cure a case Of catarrh
in the winter generally, than in the

the time favorable to the treatment of

KILLED BY LIGHTING.

ACETYLENE, which is made from fused
coal and lime is a new discovery and produces q
light which is next only to Sunlight, both
in quality and cost, and is the most beauti-
full ard perfect light known to man. 1t has
twenty times the lighting power Of oil and
four times that OF electricity. It's light is so
akin to sunlight that colors can be matched
by it, and does not tire or strain the eyes.
Why not own your own lighting plant? It's
just the thing for HOMES STORES, CHURCH
ELS, halls or any place where light is needed.
Acetylene Gas, when made in a MON
ARCH GENERATOR, furnishes the finest
light on earth at less price than Oil. Gas or
Electricity, and with less labor than it takes to
care for g single oil lamp. II you want a cata-
loguc and more light on the subject, write to
Monarch Acetylcnc Gas Co.. Omaha, Neb.

The mustard plaster is a harmless
looking wafer, but it must be handled
with as much circumspection as a
woman. There was newly married
man once whose wife told him to put
ON mustard plaster to cure cold. He
had faith in her, and put it on. Then
he went to sleep, being gifted with the
power of sleeping under torments which
is not given to one man in a thousand.
The plaster seemed to him somewhat
unreasonably hot, but he argued that
the hotter it was the better. Besides.
he had confidence in his wife Next day
he found well developed blister on his
chest, and his wife only laughed and
said she had supposed any one would
have sense enough to take off plaster
when it nurt him. Though that was 1
months ago, the mark of the plaster is
still upon the man like brand. and he
now regards his wife's remedies with
suspicion. New York Commercial Ad-
