DEMOCRATS REVOLTED AGAINST BOSS RULE
The First Gun of the Battle of 1000 Left
Not a Gang Rule Dem. on His Feet.

Just q few OF the many Democrats
who refused to be driven by the
Johns-W orden combination and as
sisted in the grand victory Monday.
There are many Others, but these
were the leaders.
And Parent was the only nominee
who even made respectable race.
The only Democrat who got within
the distance flag.
G. W. Anderson is to be sympa-
thized with. Deaton would nut take
the nomination and Johns took ad-
vantage Of Anderson's absence to
put him up for slaughter. He did
not know he was nominated until
Saturday night when he reached
home.
The second ward redeemed itself,
giving a majority Of six for Cook and
clecting both Republican alderman.
Hill worked like IL beaver and ably
seconded by Shields and the Repub-
lican rustlers, landed the whole
ticket.
The first ward IL all right. The
least any Republican candidate re-
ceived was 3 majority.
In the third ward was the hottest
6ght. 1t was almost neck and neck
race but Cook and Stoddsrd won.
Brassey and Parent tied. This
amounts to no election and the in
coming council will fill the vacancy,
OF course electing Brassey.
There was no Republican disnffec-
tion whatever. Every man stood by
his party. Parrent'spersonalfriends,
who admired the stand he took
against the Johns-w worden combina-
ton, gave him the vote which caused
his tie with Brassey.
What a celebration 1t was that
night. Fully one hundred In line,
marching. screaming and properly
observing the great victory. A hall
a dozen cow bells effectually used.
The story Is easily told. The day
opened bright, with brisk Rspubli-
can wind, PartisaDs on both sides
were early on hand. but the Republi-
cans outgeneralea the Democrats In
each ward and elected majority OF
the judges.

The; man who wants to do things,
He's a very curious chap; #s
He's the author of a few things
That have changed the nations map.
He has argued and GRATED;
He has done his level best; }
He is lampooned or he's feted
And he gets a rest.
They buffet and abuse him Y
And he finds when he is through,
They forget him and refuse him
What Is honestly his due. s.
And sometimes his name is, banished,
Ill a comet strangely bright &fs
n has famed awhile and vanished
Somewhere far into the night.
All his convictions
He must fac the jeering crowd:
OF his personal Affections
He may never speak aloud.
And that hustling, busting fellow
Eager to go forth and act -
Possibly my hearts too mellow,
But I like him for a fac.
OF the martyrs I've been reading
In that book compiled by Fox. Gt
And reformers I've been needing,
Who have graced the headsman's blocks.

And should fling him cynic rhymes,
But the man who wants to do things
Well. we need him bad, sometimes.

OVERsTEPPING THE BOUNDS

But h Rules and Regulations

1.-THE first charge I ever held was in a

was, in a reminiscent mood. "The town
was not very large, and my congregation
was very poor and unable to contribute.
much toward the support of a minister, so
they. made up what they lacked in cash by
holding donation parties now and then dur
ing the year to exc out the small salary that
they paid" says the Detroit Free Press.
The first infiction of this kind that I
had was called a pound donation party, at
which everyone. was expected to bring a
pound of something or other. Among the
congregation was a member who had more
worldly, goods than all the rest put to-
gether, but he had the reputation of being
near and I confess that + looked forward

prohibited me from bringing more'n a

MAKE THEIR FUNERAL TOILET.
According to This Account Decapi.
tated Insects Lay Themselves
Out for the Last Rites.

It has often been noticed that there
are no animals which are more dainty
and fastldious in their personal hab-
its than insects, the extreme pains
which the common housefy takes in
attending to it's toilet being a good
example of the racial characteristics.
The discovery has now been made
that certain insects have such
respect for Mrs. Grundy and are en-
lowed with such an innate love of
neatness and order that not even
death, or, rather, decapitation, can
prevent them from making one grand
final toilet, which is clearly de-
signed to give them a sedate and re-
spectacle appearance after death,
says a scientific paper.
DR.. Ballion, a skillful e~ntomologist,
has discovered this remarkable fact.
"During n of my recent horseback
rides" he says, II frequently caught
one of those large flies which annoy
cattle and horses so much, and I
promptly got rid of it by crushing it's
head. One day, instead of throwing
SAiO AluI11oLCo 1AoSSO away L P1dSCo ~
on the back of my hand and INDECENT
ly watched it For some seconds the
insect remained motionless, but then
to my unbounded surprise it moved
its front legs forward to a place
where the head should have been and,
after it had rubbed them ~nervously
together, apparently in anguish, it be-
gan to brush its body and to smooth
its wings with it's hind legs. Under
the gentle pressure of these limbs the
body gradually became extended and
the extremity curved, while the wings
gradually changed their natural posi-
ton and left the upper part of the
body exposed. Meanwhile the hind
legs continued to brush each other
from time to time. Naturally ]
watched this extraordinary sight
with great interest, and in order to
see the finale I took the insect into
my study, where it lived the entire
day, spending the time at the un'
grateful task of making its WI fun
eral toilet"

When a preparation has an advertised rep.
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The Judgment
of the people is infallible because it is inn
personal: The retailer who wants to sell you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
u of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you a substitute for Cascarets
is a fraud: Beware of him! He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to

ster Review. .uA a.
Some of the cases narrated by Sir
David Brewster are particularly in
structive. The subject was a lady
(Mrs. A. and her Authorizations were
carefully studied by her husband and
Sir David. On one occasion she saw
her husband, as she thought, who had
gone out half an hour before, standing
within two feet of her in the drawing
room. She was astonished to receive
no response when she spoke to him.
She remembered that Sir David had
told her to press one eyeball with the
finger, when the impression of any real
object would be doubled. She tried to
apply the test, but the figure walked
away and disappeared. The simple sci
entific experiment diverted her atten-
ton from the creation of her mind, and
this, no longer being in sole possession,
could not maintain itself and was dis
solved. Another hallucination took the
form of her dead s~ister-in-law. The
figure appeared in a dress which Mrs.
A. had never seen, but which had been
described to her by a common friend.

and imposed upon if they can't-man-
age to leave their comfortable homes
for a month or two every summer and
rush to a crazy summer resort, where
they had toyspend all their time fan

that they were having q sweilgtime.
. "Not any more for The Jobsons," Mr..
Jobson would wind up, decidedly.
.Folks who can't make themselves

until December the s1st simply don't
know when they're well off, and
they're welcome to do all the summer
resort gadding they want to. But +
know one Washingtonian who will
henceforth find Washington good
enough.for him the year round"
Mrs. Jobson did not begin, as usual,
in April to get her clothes ready for q
summer trip. She was, in fact, rather
glad to be rid of that bother. Nothing
was said about summer plans, and she
took it for granted that they would
have a quiet, comfortable season of it
beneath the shade of their own vine
and fig tree.
There were some humid, sultrys days
late in May. On the second humid,
sultry day late in May Mr.. Jobson
came home from his Office hopping his
forehead a good deal and complaining
that he hadn't felt so "run down" in
years. It was obvious to Mrs. Jobson
that he wanted her to suggest that
they take a spin to some cool place,
but Mrs. Jobson didn't have any such
suggestion to make. She said she
wasn't feeling the heat at all. Mr..
Jobsons looked sidewise at her, and
then he went on to say that he
thought Washington would have a
pretty warm summer of it this year.
Mr.. Jobson saw a lot of pictures of
young women in bathing suits in the
fashion department. of one of the pa
pers early in June, and he commented
upon how much mor stylishly women
are beginning to rig themselves up for
salt water bathing than they did in
former years. Mrs. Jobson didn't take
the hint, and again Mr.. Jobson gazed
at her out of the slants of his eyes, as
if waiting for her to say something.
On Friday afternoon last Mr.. Job
son came home with some bundles I'M
der his arm. He calmly opened the
bundles and showed them to Mrs. Job
son as soon as he got in. One of the
bundles contained a neat white fan
mel suit, another a yachting cap, and
still another a pair of white canvas
shoes.
"Like 'em?" asked Mr.. Jobson,
jauntily. .aa
why, yes; they're nice" replied
Mrs. Jobson, "but men don't wear
