REFLECTIONS OF ABACHELoR. A
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 A woman in politics is almost as funny thing as politics in a woman.
 About once every eight times girl al- ways tries to manage 1t so a man will kiss her nose by mistake.
 Kissing a girl when she has a veil on is just about as satisfactory as eating ice cream through a flour sieve.
 It always makes a man feel queer to llear that the girl he is falling in love with has been operated on for appendicitis.
 A baby never sees an old bachelor any, where where he can't get away that it doesn't try its best to crawl all over him and get his clothes all stuck up.

Sure to be There

An old Scotch farmer was lying on what he thought was his deathbed. He began to give orders to his wife about his funeral and the people to be invited, says the Newcastle CEng)~ Chronicle. His wife, knowing that he was not dying, paid but little attention to his requests, and this so enraged the farmer that he rose up on his elbow and cried out:
 What need I speak; tnere'll be neething dune richt unless I'm there mysep!'
 His wife, batting him on the shoulder, replied: '7Toots, man, Bauldy! Keeq yer min easy; yell be the principal man there"

FACTS TO REMEMBER

From the Talladega Mountain Home.
 In selecting a United States senator it should be borne in mind by the "plain peo- ple'' of Alabama that Senator Morgan pro- cured the handsome grant of lands ito the university from the government. They should further remember that 1t was Gov ernor Johnston who, by stealthy ap- breaches and indirect methods, alienated these lands from their noble purpose in the promotion of the Sloss-Sherffield deal, whereby his financial interests were largely benefited.

AN IDIOT TO BE SUPPRESSED

From the New York Press.
 A friendly shoulder slap broke mans neck few days ago in this city There is only one wrose nuisance in the world than the rib-poker, and that Is the shoulder slapper. They have both outlved their usefulness and are fit objects of solictude for the society for Doing Without Some People. The fiend who takes you unaware on a crowded pavement with facetious bat on the shoulderblade when you arc meditating on the ideal and the beautiful, and expects you to twist your shaken yer tebrae into genial nod and greet him with happy. fatulent smile, possesses an heroic soul that would not recognize the language of conventional remonstrance. He is not criminal and he is not crazy: he is simply an idiot. The lunatic asylums and the jails are overworked, but the fool-kiiler doesn't half know his business.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Rewarded With n sixpsnce

How the Duke of NofollE, one of the rich- est of English peers, earned his first six pence is related by his friends with greabi deal of gusto says the Chicago Chronicle. A few years ago a large English party headed by the duke went on a continental tour. The duke busted himself very much on the Journey in kind-hearted way about the welfare of everyone in the party At every station he used to get out and go round to see if he could do anything for anyone. One old lady, who did not know when she arrived at last In Raus, tired and hot, found great difficulty in getting a porter. So she seized on the duke
 Now, my good man." she said. "Fve noticed you at all these stations loanns about. Just make yourself useful for once in your life. Take my bag and find me q cab"
 The duke mildly did as he was bid and was rewarded with a sixpenee.
 Thank you, madam he said; 1T shall prize this indeed It is the first coin have ever earned in my life.'

Anneala tn Fear.

The appeals to fear have we'll nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are so compelled to see as the fact
Of retribution. The law Of retribution
works In our present life. We become
aware Of 1t in our earliest infancy. and
we never become developed In charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
Quences Of sin. There is sense Of
righteousness in all men, and all men
know that unrighteousness brings pun
ishment 1t Is fair to assume that
what is a part Of mans very structure
here will continue hereafter. We may
give up entirely the notion Of q mate
sial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine Of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate. but 1t Is In
accordance with the structure OF mans
nature.-North American Review.
