Harrison. Most Famous Case.

at is doubtful" said an Indianapolis
lawyer the other day, whether Gen.
Harrison recalls a certain case which
he tried out in Indiana that was more
remarkable in its way than the session
of the Venezuelan arbitration. OF
the four counsel only one had ever been
heard outside of his own state, and the
judge had merely local reputation.
Yet within IL years one of the quar-
tette had been elected vice president of
the United States, another one presi-
dent, still another United States SEN
ator, and the Judge had risen to the
circuit bench and had filed two cab
met posts. 1t was political case, and
each party chose its most famous rep
resentative to represent it. Mr.. Har-
rison aided the United States district
attorney, and Senator David Turpie
and Vice President Thomas A. Hen
bricks appeared for the democrats.
The judge was Walter Q. Gresham, who
had been appointed district attorney
for Indiana less than nine years be-
re."-Philadelphia Post.

MODEL TOWN IS IN KANSAS
Lost sprinEs,D Population Does Not
Use Liquor or Tobacco md
Few Swear.

From the standpoint of morals Lost
Springs, Marion county, Kan, is the
most remarkable town in the world.
Lost Springs is village of $50 souls.
Every inhabitant is u teetotaler, only
two men swear and not more than u
dozen use tobacco. The entire adult
population belongs to the church, and
all the children attend Sunday school.
The town has never had saloon or
gambling house, and there hasn't been
game of cards played in ten years.
Two years ago couple of young men
got up horse race, but the community
made such fuss about it that the
event was declared off. Dancing has
not been indulged in for five years.
Lost Springs is without municipal
government, having never been incor-
porated The early settlers of the
community were Methodists of great
piety, and, as they explained: Got
started right and kept right" The
Methodist church Mt Lost Springs and
the Presbyterian and Christian
churches near town have taught in sea-
son and out of season that the wages
of sin is death" with the result that
the people avoid even the appearance
of evil as they would an epidemic.
At the Methodist prayer meeting a
short time ago one brother deplored
the fact that so many of the inhab-
itants of the village used tobacco. He
prayed that the evil might be eradicat.
ed. A venerable citizen of the town,
aged 50, arose and said that he had
been chewing tobacco for GO years, but
the habit was sinful. "Tll give it up"
he said, and, going to the door, threw
a plug of tobacco into the street. Five
other tobacco users followed his ex-
ample, and the congregation rejoiced
with exceeding joy.
G. +. Shupe, the leading merchant of
the village, on the day after the meet
ing, boxed up his stock of tobacco and
shipped it back to the factory. II have
no .scruples against selling tobacco"
Mr.. Shupe explained, 'but the senti-
ment of the community is against the
traffic, and / have decided not to sell
any more of it. l do not use tobacco
myself"
One other merchant keeps tobacco
In stock, but as he has sold less than
dollars worth since the crusade was
started at the prayer meeting be like

SUCCESS OF GOLD BASIS.
japan Finds the New Standard q
Vast Impetus to Trade of
All Kinds.

japan is much pleased with the OPP
Grafton of the gold standard adopted
little more than two years ago by
that progressive country. A report
on the subject made by Count Matsu-
kata Masayoshi, minister of state for
finance, has just reached the treas
ury bureau of statistics. Count Mat
sukata, discussing the effect of the
new law, which went into operation
October 1, 1897, says:
"Since the adoption of the gold
standard our currency has been freed
from constant fluctuations in it's ex-
change rate to which it was subject
before. The relations between the
claims of the creditor and the liabili-
ties of the debtor have become less
subject to sudden and unexpected
changes, business transactions are
made safe, an improvement in credit
has taken place in the community at
large, prices are more constant-in a
word, the way is now open for the
steady and orderly growth of our
commerce and industry.
"The beneficial result of the coinage
reform is seen in another direction.
Since now that the capitalists Of the
gold standard countries have become
assured that they will no longer be
in constant danger of suffering un-
expected losses from investments
made in this country on account of
fluctuations in the price of silver,
they seem to show a growing tendency
to make such investments at low rates
of interest. This tendency, if encour-
aged, will doubtless bring about a
closer connection between this coun-

more than quarter. If, however, the
money is not to be used to buy votes,
but in the dissemination of literature,
the hiring of speakers, etc, even the
democrats cannot object to it. be-
cause Bryan himself has always made
it rule to get good pay for his
speeches, even when he was n candi-
date.
But the whole story is ridiculous.
-'obody but knaye or a fool would
believe that a fund of $25, 100000 could
be raised for the republican or any
other party.-Cleveland Leader.

THE WORK OF FOOLS.
Extravngant Stories of Democrats
Concerning the Republican
Campaign Fund.

The democratic campaign of "educa-
ton" has begun. One of the newspa-
per supporters of Bryan in the west
declares that the republicans will
have campaign fund amounting to
$25,000,000 to spend in the effort to re-
elect President Mckinley.
The statement is made deliberately,
with the clear purpose of convincing
its readers that it is the truth, and no
doubt thousands of voters will be
gulled by it. The immense contribu-
ton, the Bryan newspaper declares, is
to come from the trusts which are
seeking immunity from unfavorable
legislation. 1t seems remarkable that
anybody should attempt to play upon
the credulty of the American voters liz
that way, however.
There were cast in the last presi-
Dental election something like 10000
900 votes. Only small proportion Of
those voters are susceptible to cor
rupt influence. The vast majority of
them give their support to candidates
because of their adherence to the
principles enunciated inthe platforms
on which they are nominated, and all
but few of them will stand by their
party whatever its principles or who
ever it's candidate may be.
Suppose 100000 of the 100000
voters could be influenced corruptly.
The payment of 100000 for their
votes would mean an average Of $25
per vote. The man who will sell his
vote never demands as high price as
that; usually he can be got for dol
lar, and often for much less than that.
He doesn't as rule, bring much

1T WAS mighty nice little sup

Mrs. Grigsby FASTENED from the scene
ofthelate revelry. Everything seemed
to taste good. Mrs. Haskell is an ele-
CANT entertainer"
II hardly think that elegant is the
word to use" observed Mrs Grigsby.
II suppose l ought to have said that
she's gracious hostess or something
of that kind" said Mr.. Grigsby. Il
don't see what's the matter with 'ele-
giant myself, and l know when am
being entertained"
1T is not my idea of entertainment
tohave the claret punch made so strong
that it affects people as it did Mrs.
Drake
"Affects What are you talking
about? She wasn't affected. Just be-
cause she has a naturally lively man
ner."
That's her natural manner, is it?
Well, l suppose you ought to know.
You seemed to notice her good deal.
I'd be sorry if it was my natural man
ner, though, even if it does please you
so very much"
II didn't say it pleased me-"
1T wasn't necessary, but then
don't know that we need talk about
her. If you weren't pleased with her
you can disguise your feelings pretty
we'll"
IF you could manage to disguise
yours little once in awhile / think you
would be even more popular than you
are"
THANK you! l haven't any particu-
lar desire to have lot of men crowd
ing around me all the time. am con-
tent to leave that sort of popularity to
Mrs. Drake. I'd like to hear what you
would have to say if 1 carried on in the
way she does. / suppose her husband
likes it,"
81 never heard that he objected to it.
He seems to think that she has not yet
forfeited all claim to his respect and af-
lection. BY the way, / never knew you
to play a worse game of whist than you
did tonight"
81 expected you would say something
of that kind. If it's your idea that by
saying that you defend your own
shortcomings, it's very foolish of you,
my dear"
81 notice that lately you never call
me my dear until you begin to get
mad"
81 get mad! Well, I'd be justified If
were. A man who would play the
king as second player when the four
was led, and he had the seven and nine
in his hand besides, has great right to
talk about bad play"

was calling for the king with the ace
