There is q drayman in Valparaiso,
says the Messenger, who got himself
home of his own in novel way. For
years he had worked hard and never
got ahead. One day be made bargain
with himself that every time dime
came into his hands he would put it
into little tin box he had In his house.
For two years this box was never
opened. The bargain was faithfully
kept, and every time anyone paid him
a dime into the box it went as soon as
he got home. At the end of two years
he opened the box and counted his
dimes. There were little over 500
in the box The dimes represented
beer he didn't drink, smokes he didn't
smoke and little self denisls. He was
so encouraged that he bought lot in q
desirable location and in less than four
years had it entirely paid for. In no
other way would this man have gotten
a home This is absolutely true.

COAL STRIKE POLITICAL EFFECT.
As Viewed by the indianapolis Press
Special Correspondent.

As Viewed by the indianapolis Press
special Correspondent.
Otto Carmichael, the special CORE
spoDdent for the Indianapolis Press, an
independent paper which advocates
McKinley's election, writes as follows
under date of September "a, at Hazel.
ton, Pa:
The strike has had a direct and
prompt effect on the political situation.
1t is noticeable IN Eastern Pennsyl-
vsnis, and particularly in Philadelphia,
where democracy is not heard of us-
uslly more than once a week. In
providing around to find out about coal
| have asked the factory men about
politics. They say there is, of course,
no trouble about Pennsylvania, but
that if the laboring men IN the close
states go for Bryan as generally as the
organized men here are preparing to
do the situation is ominOus One
friend of mine was in the New York
Herald office recently when q poll of
the composing room was taken. 1t
was 107 for Bryan and 10 for McKln-
ley. He has had the poll habit ever
since that and has been insisting on
polls in newspaper offices wherever be
went. He tells me be has found pro-
portionste results in newspaper offices
in W sshington, Buffalo and Pittsburg
since that time.
The republican leaders usually con
cede the general union vote TO the
democrats. They are apt to talk differ
emily, but this is the way they do their
private figuring. 1t was so in 1896
The fact that IT is so up to this time
has not interfered with the rosy hopes
of the republican managers. But this
strike will make things different. 1t
may effect the independent labor vote,
which is of much more consequence to
the republican politician.
| have information from some well
informed federal office holders in
Washington to the effect that there Is
q psnicky feeling in the departments
there. They are very close to this
strike. / have not been west since the
strike began, and do not know whether
it is Q topic of conversation, but it Ger
tainly is in these Eastern cities and on
the railroad trains. 1t is the chief
subject of conversation in Philadelphia
New York, Washington, and interven
ing towns. The political aspect of il
is discussed as much as the cOmmerc
isl side. Washington, of course, Is es
pecislly interested. | am informed
that the feeling of confidence is rapidly
giving wsy and there Is a realization
that hard struggle is on in the hands
of the republicans The strike hat
induced this.

couple others of the faithful were
present. They say that the visit fiat
tered Mr.. Helm very much and that
now he is lined up. We haven't heard
from Mr.. Helm, but if be is the kind of
a man we think him to be, it will take
more than the cojOlery of Skunk and
Hess to influence him. 1t might be
well to remind these fellows at whose

that they are not being honOred at all.
They are simply doubtful republicans

HORSES KILLED IN A DUEL.
Connecticut GeldinS Fights a Mare
Who Failed to Share His
Work.

Two horses owned by Jacob Johnson,
of Hartford, Conn.,. fought a duel the
other afternoon, each kicking the 9TH
er SO severely that both had to be
killed with rifle to end their suffer-
ing. The pair were no sooner put in
their adjoining stalls than johnson
heard a noise. He went to the stable
and found that a gelding had kicked
down the light partition separating
him from his mate and was taking his
revenge for her failure to help pull the
load in the morning.
The mare returned the kicks with in
terest, staggering the gelding with her
well-directed hind feet attack. Her
strength, however. failed her and she
sank to the floor exhausted. Before
johnson could separate them the bay
mare had been kicked so badly that
both hind legs and her back were
broken.
The gelding stopped kicking only
when dragged away by johnson and a
party of neighbors. He was. however.
so weak that the same rifle which was
used to end the mares misery termi-
mated his life. The two horses were
dumped into the same grave, =.
