Efrat sIIrcr Weddfrr.

According TO = historian. this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was in the time of Hughes
Caput. Two of his most faithful serv-
ants, man ard Il woman. had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman, he said: Your
service is great, greater than the mans.
whose service is great enough. for the
woman always finds work harder than
n man. and therefore / win give you 4
reward. At your age l know of none
better than a dowry and husband.
The dOwry is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with YOU for five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you, then the husband is ready"
Your majesty" said the old peasant.
''how is it possible that we should mar
~. having already silver hairs:"
Then it shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough 10 keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin of the silver
wedding. a custom which. spreading all
through France. subsequently became
known TO the world.

Points on n Lobster.

A lobster is found in the water. but
not always-in fact, some of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For instance. If n young man
enters n crowded drawing room and
walks all over the feet of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be-
comes n lobster.
The fathers OF Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it is difficult 10 be n
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
1t is an odd fact that many girls
seem TO admire Holsters. 1t would
seem that a girl ought to know better,
but she doesn't until she marries a
lobster. Then she tumbles.
Lobsters have no brains. If you
don't believe it, split lobster's head
open with an AK if you don't care any,
thing about the ax.
This world would be a much more
desirable abiding place If there were
no Holsters in it.-Ohio State Journal. .

ley, esillustIious citizen, it Is the
damnable murder of Mckinley, the
president, that melts rs, 600. 600 hearts
into one and brings hush to the
farm, the factory and the forum.
Death is the inevitable incident OF
every human career. 1t despised the
sword and shield of the warrior and
laughs at the precautions suggested
walls high enough or thick enough to
shut it out. and no house is humble
enough to escape its visitation. Even
love, the most potent force known to
man; love the characteristic which
links the human to the divine, even
love is poTerless in its presence. Its
contingency is recogniz ID in the mar
riage VOW, Until death do US part.
and it is written upon friendships
ring.
"But the death, even when pro-
duced by natural causes, Of a public
servant charged with the tremendous
responsibilities which press upon a
president, shocks the entire country
and is infinitely multiplied when the
circumstances attending constitute an
attack upon the government itself.
Ne one can estimate the fSr-reachiDg
effect of such an act as that which
now casts q gloom over our land. 1t
shames America in the eyes of the
world. IL impSirs her moral pres
tige and gives enemies OF free gov
ernment a chancs to mock at her, and
it excites an indignation which, while
righteous in itself. may lead TO acts
which will partake of the spirit of
lawlessness. As the president s
death overwhelms all in q common
sorrow. 40 it imposes a common re-
sponsibility-nAmely, TO so avense
the wrong done to the president, his
family and the country as TO make
the executive life secure without in
terfering with the freedom of speech
or freedom of the press.
Mr.. Bryan treats of the parting of
husband and wife at Buffalo, saying:
The dispatches report that Mrs.
Mckinley took a seat at the bedside
and held the presidents hand; the
distinguished sufferer looked into the
face OF his good wife and said in q
low tone: We must bear up. Il will
be better for Us both With tears
streaming down her cheeks, Mrs.
Mckinley nodded assent. There may
be some people who have no idea of
the thoughts that were passing
through the minds of this couple at
that moment. There are, however,
others VINO can imagine what these
thoughts were. There on the bed of
pain lay the strong, powerful man,
by his side sat the trail woman, whose
nbusioa1 TyoaEuaaa has baon for some
years the subject of this husbands
tender solitude. In q humble way
they began lie together. Two little
graves had fo- them a common inter
est. Ia prosperity and adversely they
had stood together, participating in
Joys and sharing all sorrows of life. ="

Ir Is ALLEGED that the docto

IT Is alleged that the doctors who
attended President Mckinley are
charging one another with all sorts
Of errors in judgment 1t is well to
remember that "too many cooks
spoil the BROTH" but there is little
doubt that the doctors in this case
cooperated to do the best they could.
They held consultation, it is said, and
the decision of the majority was Ac-
cepted. The public laments the re-
suit of the case, but should not criti-
else the doctors. 1t is too late for
them to mend matters now by fight
ing each other. II those belligerent
doctors had anything to say to the
public they should have said it before
President Mckinley died. II any one
of them was sure he could save the
presidents life and didn't save it the
less he says now the better it will be
for him.

The crowd at Falmouth, Mass that
proceeded to Richard Olney'E home
after he had discharged mis- coachman
for heartless and dis1oyal utterances
concerning President Mckinley and
expressed in resolution condemnation
to Mr.. Olney for not appearing, went
entirely too far. Mr.. Olney was too
indignant, doubtless, at the suggestion
that he should be called upon at such
time or in any way be held responsible
for the unnatural expressions Of his en-
ploye to respond When he discharged
his coachman he did all that he could.
