TWO BIG NECKS.

"Once, when l was In New York
some years ago." said A. w. Whelpley,
II found myself one afternoon stand
ing before a counter in one Of that
city's largest dry goods houses select
ing some collars.
"a good many men sailed up while
I was there and ordered collars OF
various sizes, from 13 to 18.
81 heard full. rather hoarse voice,
ask for turn down. 20.'
81 turned to note the man with the
thick neck and beheld Grover Cleve-
land beside me. I knew him by his
resemblance to the fellow on the cigar
boxes.
81 had been given my change and q
small packet Of wares by the auburn
haired goddess Of the counter, and with
one more glance at the generous pro-
portions of the man Of destiny was
moving away when, strangely enough.
the autocrat of the house Of congress,
Tom Reed, came steaming up to the
counter.
'"There they stood. neither evidently
knowing the proximity Of the other.
"And bless me If he didn't ask for
collars, second medium, welt band,
turned front, Pr
81 wondered If he thought the store
provided a surveyor for such mon
strous measures, but the goddess was
equal to the occasion and handed out
the desired size."--Cincinnati Enquirer.

me that it was not the intention of
himself or the government to forclbly
hold or permanently acquire the Phil
ippines.
''He further said that his personal
desire was to restore law and order in
the islands and then submit the mat.
ter to congress, with the idea of hav-
ing it grant absolute freedom and
self.government to the Filipinos. With
that pledge from President William
Mckinley I voted for this treaty.
Without it never should have done
so.
"Tbe resolution offered in the SEN
ate, and which was the basis of my
speech On the Philippine question,
provided for exactly what the Presi-
dent himself told me he desired to
bring about.
bryan is absolutely right on the
one great issue involved in this cam
paign, and with the money question at
rest for four years, he is a bigger, a
better and safer man than Mckinley.
Even if the money question were not
settled, Bryan is man of too much
sense to undertake to tamper with
the currency. Bryan is certain to be
our next president and 1 shall be glad
to see him elected.
Mckinley is totally unfit for the
Office of president, because he is 80
weak and vacillating that he can't
stick to an opinion over night. If he
could know his own mind and be con-
sistent for twenty-four hours at a time
he might do, but such thing is inn.
possible with him and for that reason
be is unfit to be president"

BRAIN FOOD For GoATs.-On one
occasion, when Greedy was a power
in New York journalism, he was sit,
ting on a hotel piazza in Peekskill
quietly scanning the columns of that
mornings Tribune, when a stranger
came along, glanced contemptuously
at the paper he was reading, and re-
marked:
"Fine sheet you've got there, mis-
ter! use to read it myself but I've
subscribed for a decent newspaper
now, and as fast as The Tribune comes
along feed it to my goats. That's
all it's fit for"
Mr.. Greely looked at the man with
q quizzical smile.
"You feed your goat on Tribunes
do you ?" he asked, in the mildest o.
accents.
eyes, sir, I do" clustered the stran'
ger.
Gail right, my friend," said Mr.
Greely, quietly !; "keep right on read
ing some other paper and feeding your
goat on Tribunes, and I'll guarantee
10 three months time the goats will
know considerably more about what is
going on in the world than it's owner
does !"-Lippincott's
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-08-11

regard to party, applauded. When
the war was over and the Republican
leaders began to suggest the propriety
of colonial policy, opposition at once
manifested itself.
"Destiny is the subterfuge of the in
veterate, who, lacking the courage 10
oppose error, seeks some plausible ex-
cuse for supporting it. Washington
said that the destiny of the Republican
form of government was deeply, if not
finally, staked on the experiment en-
trusted to the American people. How
different Washington's definition of
destiny from the Republican defni-
ton. The Republicans say that this
nation is in the hands of destiny.
Washington believed that not only the
destiny of our nation, but the des-
tiny of the Republican form of gov
ernment throughout the world, was en-
trusted to American hands. Washing
ton was right. The destiny of this
republic is in the hands of it's own
people"
Perhaps the most striking sentence
in his speech was when he said (: eff
elected I shall convene congress in
extraordinary session, recommend a
stable form of government for the
Philippines, and give independence to
Filipinos, protect them from outside
interference while they work out their
destiny, just as We have protected re-
publics iu South and Central America,
and are by the Monroe doctrine
pledged to protect Cuba"

nent foreign scientists have found out
that grasshopper's ears are in its

"How did they ascertain that ?"
"Tbey put hopper on a board
and tapped the board gently"
"Well ?"
"The creature hoped away. Then
they cut off its legs, put it on the

before, and it didn't hop away. 1t

KINDNESS THAT REAcTED.-Boo
Pryor is nice, obliging young man ;
but hereafter he positively refuses TO
brush bugs off anybody, even himself.
The cause of it all was little surprise
party, given to Robert by certain
bug, name and parentage unknown.
Pryor had just dined at a Vine street
cafe. and stood nonchalantly before its
doors chewing q toothpick and gazing
benevolently on the madding crowd as
it surged by. The milk of human
kindness was in Bob up to the ears
Just then, and he could even have COM
plimented his mother-in-law. Bob
noticed that the electric light near him
drew lots of bugs that were bent on
going to bug heaven by the incinera-
ton route. A we'll dressed young fel-
low came along and stood near the in
sect crematory, with the result that
one of them came hustling down and
selected his collar for resting place.
Mr.. Pryor noticed the insect, and feel
ing very good, he generously volun-
teered to remove it.
~ beg your pardon" he said to the
young man. "There is bug on your
collar. Wait till I get him."
Robert reached for the bug, and the
next instant let out howl that rolled
down Vine street, crossed the river
and flattened itself against the Ken.
lucky hills. At the same time he did
a Dervish dance out to the middle OF the
street, where he hit car and bounced
back, frantically slapping one hand
against the other. The "bug" that
Robert so gracefully removed was an
innocent, harmless little hornet that
had got lost on Vine street, and had
clung to his rescuer with all the clingl:
ness with which he was capable.
Hence the henceness of why Mr.. Pryor
removes no bugs from any one.-Cln-

Maryland Senator Says He was Deceived by

United States Senator George L.
Wellington, of Maryland, Republican,

attitude in the present campaign. He
says:
II am unalterably opposed to the
reelection of President Mckinley
Bryan is better man in every way
than Mckinley and regard his elec-
ton as essential to the preservation Of
the Republic.
II regard the Philadelphia platform
as grave departure from the faith Of
our fathers. 1t is not the Republican.
ism of Lincoln, but an endorsement OF
inimical policies foisted upon the coun'
try by Mckinley.
III am an anti-imperialist. do not
talk one way in congress and another
way on the outside, nor do I talk one
way and act another. I am not like
old Hoar-able to appeal to the past
and the future and then stultify my
self. 1 see only the present. The
past is gone and the future can care
for itself; but I'll help to take care oi
the present.
81 am convinced there is a secrei
alliance with England beyond any
doubt. You remember the cry that
was raised against Cleveland of sub
serviency to England? There was
not one-quarter the ground for it that
there is for the same cry against Nc
Kinley. He would not dare to do
thing that would be unacceptable tc
England, for he is nothing more thar
an English pro-consul.

me. I was opposed to the Paris peace
treaty and would never have voted fol-
its ratification of my own volition.

EVOLUTION.

"My husband" said the lady who
combed her hair straight back from
her brow, "used to waste words good
deal; but he has gradually outgrown
the habit since be and I have known
each other"
"And how has this happened?" the
other woman asked.
'It has just been sort of natural
development. Evolution, you might
perhaps call it. The first letter he
ever wrote to me was shortly after
we had become acquainted and before
