We are so Jolly, contented and gay,

What do care for the Appian way,

Little we reck how the hckle winds ~;
We're a triumViratc, mighty and low,

Climb up, my little son, here to my knee

Isn't he sturdy and brave could be?

See how he hlinks in that Slecpytov-n way;
Here Is a kiss all around. and hurra-

After the Outing,
alone.

Her father produces his notebook.
With very sad look in his eye.
And he figures and figures and figures
Nor pauscs except for sigh
And his beautiful daughter beside him,
With beauty and Wit all aglow,
Meier dreams As she teuIcrly watches
That she Is the cause Of his woe.
They back from their haunts for the

And he inds-hut bears up like man
Ten dollars apiece paid for freCkles
And hundred per square inch for tan.

Army BILL PASSES.

Washington, Dec. 5,
The House OF Representatives at the
end OF a long sitting passed The army
reoi ganizauon bill by vote OF 166 10
1873. Three Democrats-Messrs. Hall,
of Pennsylvania, and Underhill and
Clayton, of New York-vote1 with the
Republicans tor the bill, and Mr.. Nc
Call of Massachusetts,, with the remo-
Gratis, again it. Otherwise, it was
strict PARTY vote.
The proposition 10 which some OF the
Democrats attempted to commit their
side in CAUCASIAN extension OF the
present temporary army until July l,
1908, which was voted upo1 indirec ly,
on motion TO recommit, commanded
the votes of only about half the oppo'
sition, and those of two Republicans
Mr.. Mccall, and Mr.. Mann, of Illinois.
Many Of the Democrats, Eowever,voied
against the motion because they were
pposed, not only to tie reorganization
bill. but also to continuing the tempo
rary arrangement at is present
strength.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean cut the
system and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses Of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
YOU satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bottles

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The spirit of Christmas has aireauy
infused itself into the people. Every
body seems to be in good humor.
There was never more tempting dis
play OF holiday goods. Indeed, Inc
Glass of goods generally displayed at
the holiday season as suitable 1or
Christmas gifts seems to be growing
in richness and beauty each year, ana
! t only thing that puzzles the shopper
wlo is well provided with cash IS 10
make a choice among so many tempting
thin g. One thing to be avoided IN
the beautiful custom of making Christ
mas rrtsen is the spirit of CONNER
cialism, the spirit OF exchange, the
tendency TO value gifts according 10
tleir est and richness. That is not
tb, shirt of Christmas nor of Christmas
living And, above all other things,
let tie Christmas shopping include
those things which will make the chill
Il, eu happy. 1t is chiefly a children's
festival. and those families which are
50 unfortunate as not to include young
children should increase their own
pleasure in Christmas Day by buying
: metl inc to make children in some
other family happy.
Some things it will be well for the
shoppers before making their rounds OF
the stores TO consider. 1t will be well
to remember that this is most trying
time to tie patient clerks behind the
counter, and they shopld be saved
from all needless work. from unneces'
sary yexation and from unjust CON
plant. They have at this season tt
Iiemain on their feet long, weary hours
and smile or n pleasant word from
shoprers will do much to relieve thu
strain Of what is to them a very ex-
haustine season.
Another point for the oOslderat
Christmas shoppers to consider wei
before they start in is what they wan
toluy. 1t is exceedingly trying t.
both uyer and seller for people to b
wan 3ering aimlessly from sire t.
store, knowing that they want some
thing, but without any definite idea o
what it is.

THE PRESIDENTS MESA GE.

The Presidents message was long as
usual, too long to be generally read
when it is known to contain nothing
not already known. 1t discloses moth
ing as to the future of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, saying in
reference 10 the latter that in the alb
sence of contrary expression of the
will of Congress he has used authority
to UPHOLD the sovereignty of the United
States. This is pain evasion of the
Constitution, that prohibits the Presi
dent from prosecuting wars without
the sanction OF Congress, which the
President has been doing, and is but
thinly yelled absolutism.
The President evidently feels that
the recent election was an endorse
ment Of his ADMINISTRATION and that he
is fully authorized to advocate and
approve CT all the wild schemes Of
plumber and power his advisers are
credited with fostering.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

The necessary qualif atoms for good
citizenship are civic virtue aud inttlii-
gence, and it is generally admitted
that only good citizens should particl-
pate in government. The State has
gone so far in this direction "a to say
persons guilty of crime shall not par
ticipate in the election of our rulers,
AID conviction of crime is the evidence
that disqualifes them. This statute
was intended to prevent the vicious
from ruling the State and by common
consent it is wise provision of law.
Bribery is one Of those Infamous
crimes that diSqualifies, and yet The
bribers and the bribed vote and con-

do it because it is secret offense AM

wrong without a remedy, unless the
corrupt are reached, notas individuals,
but as a class. That class consists,
not exclusively, but for the most part,
Of tie ignorant-people who have not
taken interest enough in themselves TO
learn of the advantages and benlficence
of good government, and value the
elective franchise only for the revenue

This class of people are menace 10

government was instituted, and are
more dangerous because more nuner-

There is no excuse for this ignorance

the public schools are open to all
children and have been for genera

wildom should add ignorance to that
