ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH
Gets Strong Admissions From Dyed
In the Wool Democrat.

The other day, says the Louis
vile Commercial, Eli Perkins was
introduced to Judge Scott, an old
dyed-in- n-the-wool Kentucky Demo-
crat. The Judge is well known in
the Blue Grass region, and the
grand old Kentuckian has always
been looked up to as a high priest
of "befo' the wah Democracy.
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott sup
posed that Eli was q Democrat, too,
and he became confidential with
him at once.
GLOW are we Democrats getting
along Judge?' asked Eli in a conf
Dental tone.
The Judge looked at Eli a mo-
ment to see if he really wanted in
formation about the party, and
slowly remarked:
"Well, sir. we are getting on
very well financially, but politically
we are running behind; yes, I'm
afraid we are running behind, "
"What causes this?" asked Eli.
"Well, sir" said the Judge sad
ly, "Tm afraid our party has not
been altogether right We have
erred in some things -
"Where have we erred, Judge?"
"Well, sir, | hate to admit it,
but our Grover Cleveland policy
hurt us Kentuckians. / wouldn't
say it to black Republican, but
we Democrats all admit it among
ourselves. You see," said the
Judge, 1--WE used to get 35 cents for
wool, and a big price for hemp and
tobacco before Grover came in, but
that Wilson bill hurt us. It knock
ed wool down to - cents. Free
jute, put in to help the cotton fell
lows, ruined our hemp, and it rot
ted in the ground Then we low
cred the tariff on tobacco, and our
tobacco went down on us. We
didn't complain, but we Democrats
did good deal of thinking. Cat
tie and hogs got lower and lower,
and when Grover went out we were
pretty poor; yes, dog-on hard up,
sirr'
"Are they still bad-the times?"
asked Eli.
"No, honestly, the times are
good. Wool and hemp and tobac-
co have doubled in price and are
still going up. Cattle and hogs are
high and our blue grass farmers are
getting rich"
"Well, what is the matter them"
"Why, these good times have
knocked out our dear old Demo-
cratic party. Our Democratic
farmers say they will never vote for
free trade or low tariff again.
"Well, what can we Democrats
do?" asked Eli.
II hate to admit it," said the
Judge sadly, "but if we Democrats
want to win in Kentucky again we
we got to keep the tariff right where
it is. That old Wilson bill and
Bryan's free silver will be Il scare
crow to every farmer in Kentucky
and Tennessee. We've tried low
tariff and we know-Fm ashamed
to say SO, but we know it hurt us!
No, sir, the people are prosperous,
but our Democratic party is doing
poorly. | wouldn't say it to a
black Republican, but that is the
way we Democrats talk among our
selves"
As the Judge got off the train at
Lexington he remarked: eyes,
and there was another mistake we
Democrats made. Grover Cleve-
land wanted to sink the Republic
of the Hawaii and put a niger on
the throne. We Democrats didn' t
complain, but it made us sick, for,
between you and me, we Democrats
amt putin niggers on thrones.

The editor of an exchange being ask
ed if he had ever seen a baldheaded
woman, replied: "No we never did.
Nor have we ever seen woman waltz
ing around town in her shirt sleeves
with a segar in her teeth. We have
never seen a woman go a-fishing with a
bottle in her hip pocket sit on the damp
ground all day, and then go home
drunk at night; nor have we ever seen
a woman yank off her coat and swear
she could lick any man in town. God
bless her! She amt built that way"

The government provided for
Porto Rico is far more liberal than
that given to Louisiana when that

A little experience will assure the
Porto Ricans Of the character of the

Friday afternoon capitulated to Secre-

to file amended articles Of incorpori-

The clause in the original papers al
lowing the corporation to do trust
business to deal in the stocks of other
corporations, has been eliminated in
accordance with the demand of the

will be permitted simply to sell coal

WHAT Is A SLEEPER?

Here is a definition which is
as difficult to read rapidly as
Peter Piper picked a peck of
picked peppers" and yet is
more sensible. In fact, it is an
actual staten ent of facts, as
you will find if you read it slow
ly.
A sleeper is one who sleeps
A sleeper is that in which a
sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is
that on which the sleeper runs
while the sleeper sleeps. There
fore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper the sleeper carries
the sleeper over the sleeper un-
der the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper Jumps
the sleeper ana wakes the Sleep
er in the sleeper by striking the
sleeper under. the sleeper on
the sleeper, aud there is no
longer any sleeper sleeping in
the sleeper on the sleeper

RAMS HORNS.

Gods crosses are never our
curses.
Every care is an invitation to
prayer.
If no one shrinlls, the sermon
lacks salt.
The Col of Genesis is the
God of geology.
Polemics may be good for log
ic, but not living.
Restitution is the right hand
of repentance.
If there be heaven in the
heart, no he'll can harm us.
Selfshness is the substance
of sin and sorrow it's shadow.
Every true church is a home.
and every true home church.
ldealizing the lowly, really
helps to realize the lofty ideal.

those who honor Him with their
faith,-Ram's Horn.

THE STORY o. LEE.

Only the same ola story, told in a diff
ferent strain;
Sometimes u smile OF gladnoss, and
then stab of pain:
Sometimes u flash OF sunlight, again
the drifting rain.
Sometimes it seems to borrow from
the crimson rose its hue:
Sometimes black with thunder, then
changed to Il brilliant blue;
Sometimes as false as Satan, somes-
times as Heaven true.
Only the same old story, but oh, how
the changes ring!
Prophet and priest and peasant,s sol
der and scholar and king;
Sometimes the warmest hand-clasp
leaves in the palm u sting.
Sometimes in the hush of even, some
times in the midday strife,
Sometimes with dove-lilIe calmness,
sometimes with passion rife:
We dream it, write it, live it, this
weird wild story of life.
