Cure For Pneumonia.

Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine; put in large spi-
der over a hot fire, then add about the
same quantity Of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make it thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let
ting It simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When it gets cool, apply another and
thus continue by reheating the poul-
tees. In few hours the patient will
be out Of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until pcrspiration starts freely from
the chest
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one Of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known,
who never lost patient by this dis
ease and won his renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
best medical talent had pronounced
their cases hopeless. Personally we
know Of three persons who were saved
by the remedy last winter in Boston
after their physicians had given them
up to die, and If record was made Of
all similar cases during the last six
years it would fill a good sized vol

An American Repocter.

They have reporter on one Of the
Williamsburg papers who may not be
much on style, but for placid, nervy
"get there" he is q jewel. A little
while ago he was assigned to a politi-
cal meeting and asked to give 4 good
report Of it. Now, it happened that
the festivities were conducted entirely
In Polish, language Of which the
young man knows nothing. This fact,
however, did not feaze him bit. He
made his way through the hall, pushed
up to the platform and sat down with
the secretary. For several minutes he
industriously took notes and finally the
secretary, turning to him, pumped out
q volley Of Polish.
81 am not in 1t, dear boy" retorted
the young man as he turned again to
listen to the speaker.
The secretary looked surprised. Fl
nally he went out and brought in a
man who asked in English:
care you a Polish reporter?'
"Nope," was the reply. 81 am an
American one"
"Do you understand our language"
'I never heard it BEFORE" retorted
the scribbler, '"but think have pick
ed up enough since l have been here
to give rattling good story"
And he did.-New York Press.

Paid For His Joke.

The editor is fond of joke and has
the good sense to appreciate one at his
own expense \ few weeks ago he
was walking with 4 friend, and at the
corner of busy thoroughfare he saw
dilapidated looking Hibernian standing
at the opposite corner gazing listIessly
into vacancy.
"Watch me surprise this old fellow"
said he to his friend. Look right into
his face and see if it won't be study"
a second later they were abreast Of
the son Of Erin, and the editor pulled
out q silver coin and said as be thrust
it into the mans hand: "Here's that
half q crown l owe you. Now, don't
go round any more telling people that
I don't pay my debts
For a second the mans face was
study. He was amazed at the unlock
ed for kindness, and then, as its pur-
port dawned on him, he Saised his hat
and said: Heaven bless yer 'onner!
I'll never say another word ag'in ye.
But" and his eyes twinkled merrily,
ARE ye sure it wasn't q crown. ye
owed me?'
The friend roared: "Oh, pay the man
IN full, Don't try TO beat him out of a
paltry half crown" The Irishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.-London

Japanese Courtesy.

DR.. Seaman is an authority on Japan,
and he tells this story Of his last visit
to that country:
'.There was q little incident happen
ed while we were in port that showed
the magnanimity Of those people. a
United States soldier was out riding a
bicycle, and he was coasting down hill,
when he ran over man. They
promptly arrested him, and he was
taken before q magistrate. We all
went up from the transport to see how
things went with him. The magis-
trate heard the case and fined him IS
for running over blind man.
WHAT said the soldier; was the
man blind? Here, give him S20,' and
he pulled out q $50 goldpiece and hand
ed it over to the magistrate.
"And what do you think they did?
They were so pleased that they remit
ted the whole fine, Or would have done
so, only the soldier would not take 1t
back, but insisted on its being given to
the blind man, and then they gsYe him

states are Indiana, Montana and Idaho
with the indications that they are more
likely to go for Mckinley than for Bryan.
The states which voted for Bryan four
years ago. and are given as sure to go for
Mckinley, are South Dakota, Kansas
and Wyoming. The states which voted
for Mckinley four years ago and are
placed in the Bryan column this year are
Kentucky and Maryland. The Herald
says that the poll is made after Il most
careful investigation by it's correspond
ents in every part Of the country. Moth
ing but a great upheaval Of which there
is no sign, could change the result, ac-
cording to it's view.
In contradistinction to this reliable es-
innate, the democratic campaign man
ayers have made an official forecast,
which is looked upon as something Of
Joke in the east. The democrats have
the suprcmest nerve to claim Illinois, In
diana, New York and Ohio. to say moth
ing of other states in which their chances
are exceedingly doubtful. In addition,
they place Michigan, which four years
ago, in spite of tho claim made then that
the democrats would carry II, rolled up
majority of 5000 for Mckinley, as be
ing in the doubtful column this year.
Readers OF The Picket can clip this out
and preserve it until the 7th Of Novem-
Der, when they can tell for themselves
which side made the proper estimate.
Briefly stated, Chairman Jones
forecast gives Bryan 800 electoral votes
and Mckinley "a. Thirty three votes,
Mr.. Jones admits, are doubtful ~
moments calculation, he says, will show
that if The republicans should by some
undcrhand method capture all the
doubtful votes they would have only l27,
while Bryan will march into the White
House with the overwhelming majority
Of 1913 electoral votes. The states put in
the Bryan column by Chairman Jones,
with their electoral votes, follow:
Alabama, IL; Arkansas, 8; California,
8; Colorado, 4: Delaware 3; Florida, A;
Georgia, l3; Idaho, 3; Illinois, "a; In
diana, IA; Kansas, 10: Kentucky, l3;
Louisiana, 8; Maryland, s; Mississippi,
8; Missouri, Z: Montana, 3; New York,
36; Nevada, 3; Nebraska, s; North Caro-
lima, IL: North Dakota, 3; Ohio, q;
South Dakota, 4 South Carolina, 8;
Tennessee, II; Texas, Is; Utah, 3: Vir-
ginia, II; Wisconsin, II; Wyoming, 3.
The states which Mr.. Jones permits
Mr.. Manley to keep in the republican
column arc: Connecticut, 6; Iowa, l3;
New Hampshire, A: Massachusetts, 13;
Oregon, 4: Pennsylvania, 81; Rhode Is
land, 4; Vermont, 4; West Virginia, 6.
The doubtful states, according to Mr..
Jones forecast, are: Michigan, IA;
! Minnesota, 8; New Jersey, 10.

Lauren NJ. Ringer Levants from Carbon
County Jail the Night Previous
to His Trial.
HE LEFT NOT A TRACE
The Officers Are Puzzled to Account for
This Second Jail Delivery Inside
Of Two Months.

On Tuesday, Lauren NJ. Ringer was to
have answered, in the district court, to
the charge of assault in the first degree,
unless his attorneys had been successful
in their attempts to secure postpone
ment Of the case. But Ringer etfectual
ly settled all doubts about the postpon-
ing Of his trial by quietly and myster
iously leaving the county Jail at some
time between 6:3O and 9 o'clock Monday
evening.
At the first named hour, Harry Cain
and Charles Larson went to the Jail to
give the prisoners their supper, having
been deputizcd for this work in the alb
sencc from the city Of both Sheriff Dunn
and Under Sheriff kerrigan, who were
out hustling il jurors.
Thc three men who we're confined in
the Jail were let out of the iron cage as
usual and, after eating their supper, were
supposedly all locked into the cage again.
At least, Messrs Larson and Cain are
morally certain that Ringer went back
into the cage with the others and it
hardly seems az though they can be
mistaken.
The first knowledge Of the prisoners
escape came when f. g. Woodward, one
of his attorneys, went to the jail to get
Ringers signature to an affidavit for
postponment, and then Mr.. Woodward
discovered that Ringer was gone, which
fact he hastily reported to the officers.
That's where the story practically
ends. Sheriff Dunn, with number ot
assistants, has made diligent search and
inquiry in every direction, but has not
been able to discover the least trace o1
the missing man. The sheriff cannot
imagine how the prisoner ESCAPED, un
less, as was very manifest in the last jai
delivery, he had outside help, and in tina
connection the officers would like to ge
hold of the set Of jail keys which disap
peared about a year ago. The jail has
now been provided with a new set o
locks. In escaping, Ringer did not dis
turb either window or door.

such we'll known facts we will never be
justified as a nation i'll turning the Phil
ippines over to a black hearted traitor
like Aguinaldo. who basely sold out his
own people to the Spaniards for four
hundred thousand dollars and afterward,
during the American occupation, issued
a barbarious proclamation calling for the
massacre of every man, woman and child
of every race in Manila, with the excep-
ton OF the few native Filipinos.'
After a patriotic selection by tbs band,
Mr.. Meyer introduced Hon. George w.
Potter of New York. The gentleman was
greeted with burst Of applause. He
put his audience into good humor at the
very start by saying that he had spoken
out Of doors SO much Of late in the state
of Illinois that his voice was as rough as
the democratic platform.
1t would be impossible to report such
a speech as Mr.. Potter gave and do it
justice without taking several columns Of
space and the mere words would be de-
void Of the life and vim with which he
uttered them. With the exception of
some of the stories he told, which were
perhaps rather broad, Mr.. Potter speech
was without fault, eloquent, argumenta-
tive, convincing, humorous and logically
persuasive throughout.
Mr.. Potter adverted to the fact that
never have the people manifested great
er interest in political questions than
they Go today. History shows that every
time the people have thus been stirred
by political issues the republican party
has always triumphed. He character
lied the socalled issue of imperialism to
be question ~ to whether W. will carry
the blessings of our civilization, our lib
critics and our progress to places where
old glory has gone, or whether we will
like towards, crawl into our holes and
pull the holes in after Us.
Mr.. Potter's mention of the names Of
Lincoln, Grant, Logan, Garfield, Harri
son, Blaine, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
other distinguished republicans Of the
past called for wild cheers from the
audience. One of his best hits was his
characteristic summary Of the personnel
of the Kansas City convention. with
Sockless Jerry Simpson, Dick Croker Of
the corrupt Tamany organization, Ice
Trust VanWyck and Pitchfork Tillman
as the prominent figures. The sarcastic
delineation of the Bryanistic convention
climaxed its humor with the question
