Congressman Joe Bailey, of Texas,
bets $4,000 on Mr.. Bryan's election.
Betting and horse-racing and brood

and honor of a position like Joe
Bailey's before this country. There is
danger, after all his brilliant political
career, of his aspirations and ambi-
tions rising no higher than his peck
etbook or his horses heads.

A Remarkable Collection of Lamps.

At the National muscm in Wash
ington, there is most interesting ex-
hibition of lamps brought together un-
der the direction of Mr. Walter Hough,
who is an expert on the subject and
whose writings on the light and fire of
E=kimOs are most interesting. The
lamps ore of all ages from the time Of
the Pompeian and Roman lamps up to
the present day. Some of the lamps
are of great interest, as, for instance the
FREELY lamp from the West Indies. The
lamp is ubout Is inches high and built
in three stories, made of wicker and
bamboo cages with little doors. The
fireflies are imprisoned in this and cared
for and fed. The Japanese lanterns
suspended from sticks are of many types.
Among the Chinese lamps are those
made of bamboo which are used to light
alieyways They are frequent cause
of confagration. Old English horn Ian
terms, or "lanthorns" as we ought to call
them, would delight the heart OF the
collector of curIos There are also olive
oil lamps, Eskimo lamps, etc. The col
lection is worthy of considerable study.

The Turn of Life.

The turn Of life is a turning either IT,
to prolonged walk or into the grave.
Between the ages of forty and sixty a
man who has lived a proper life ought to
be considered IN his prime. His matured
strength Of constitution renders him al
most imper,ious to the attacks of dis
ease. and experience has gwen him
spundness and ripeness of judgment.
HIS mind is rt solute, firm and equal; ali
his functions are in the most perfect or
der. He assumes mastery over his
business, builds up competence on the
foundation he has formed IN early man
hoOC, aud passes through period OF
life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone year OF two past sixty, he
arrives at IA srandstIll. But here comes
what We have termed the turn of life,
which, If successfully negotiated, leads
to old age. At this period gout anu
apoplexy lie in wait for the traveller.
The system and powers having reached
their utmost expansion, now begin eth
er TO clOse in like flowers at sunset, or
to break down nj once. One iniudIcious
stImulant, a single excitement, may force
1t beyond its strength, whist careful
supply Of props and the necessary care
and attention should sustain the system

The writer and better half took fly
ing trip this morning to the residence of
Mr.. ii. l.. Allen, two miles southwest of
town, where the rites of matrimony
we're performed for James Eddy and
Miss Bessie Allen by the writer.
The morning was pleasantly spent. At
the proper time an old fashioned Arkan-
sas dinner, the best and most delicious,
was served and given proper attention
by the many guests and friends of the
young people. The last, but not least,
at 3 o'clock p. M, the whole band of
eaters assembled at the residence of
n. W. Eddy, where the same kind of
exercises was engaged in. Everybody
was welcomed by both hostesses.
Taking all things under consideration
we had day Of enjoyment.

three months, is slowly improving.
Our best wishes go with the young

Made To See In Eighty Seconds.

The wonderful strides OF science IN the
last ten wears have been such that an
ordinary mid can hardly keep pace with
them. La different parts of the world
medical specialists are performing trais
aud making cures that seem we'll uigf
impossible, and the following is only one
OF the many: Patrick Francis aged 5S

road, lost the sight of his rIrhi eye years

called on DIR. Johnston he saw many 9th

treatment, but DIR. Johnston seemed very
modest about it. lie said these things
are not miraclee as some people claim.
There are many specialists in different
parts OF the world performing such cures.
1t ls only the result Of the progress of
science, hard study and experiment There
are many who once were considered hope
lessly blind and deaf, who now could
easily be cured.
But withal It is a fact that no special
ist ever created such enthusiasm and
wonder ment in St. Joseph Missouri as
have these gifted men. The first remem
brance We have of them WAS the startling
cure some years ago of little Alice An

Kentucky court of appeals. The on MON
was read by Chief Justice Fuller, and a
vigorous dissenting opIninn was delivered
by Justice Harlan. Justices Brewer,
Brown and McKennH also dissented from
portions of the opinion.
In his opinion the chief justice held
the court lacked jurisdiction. tie said
the contest had been settled wnen the
general assembly took jurisdiction.
There was no appeal from the assem-

Goebel and Beckham, except to the tri-

He also said the case was purely state

New York, New Haven S Hartford -,pii
1t is surprising to some people To iind
sn many we'll known roads OF the east
with comparatively small mileage. The
Boston & Albany is only 39i miles long.
In other words, the road that unltes
The Hub with the capital of the Empire
state and is ore of the busiest and rich
est roads on the continent. is scarcely
more than one twentieth as long as the
Burlington Route The FItchburg road,
fayo-ably known not only in New Eng
land but all over the country. is exactly
45S miles long. and Its mileage would
have to ba multiplied 10y seventeen Ia
ge. within haiiing distance of the mile
aga OF the Burlington. The Llckawana
line, which has become widely known as
aigreat trunk line since western enter
prise came To direct its management, Is
less than 1000 miles long. and might be
nbsorbed as a branch line by any one OF
n half DOZEN western railroads.
Some railroads with but little mileage
have been endowed with uncomm"nly
long names. The Beaver Meadow, Tresc
kox & New Boston railroad has all o!
three miles Of track built and IN actual
operation. Some day the superiHtend
ent of the department Of motive power
and machinery OF the Beaver Meadow,
Tresckow & New Boston railroad may
take a trip over bis own line, stretching
from Beaver Meadow, Pa, all the way to
New Boston, Pa, total distance nt
twenty one miles.
The MHn.uu & Pixies Peak railroad.
the famous Cog wheel road ascending
Coorado's lofty peak, is nine miles long
but IL you tried to walk the ties of this
railroad. you would think it hnd mile
age of 999 miles. Th- Cairo railroad is
four miles long, and there is small
road 10 the Catskill Mountains which
has a mileage Of two miles.
