newspaper is an educator; there are all
kinds of educators, but the man who spends
money judiciously and li,eraly is better able
to impart his knowledge than the man who
has little or nothing to spend.
1he Sun is the highest type of newspaper.
The Suns Special Correspondents through.
out the United States, as well as in Europe;
South Africa, China, and, In fact, all over the
world make it an up to date newspaper.
The Market Reports and commercial fea.
lures put the farmers, the merchant and the
broker in close touch with the markets at
Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, New York
Chicago, Philadelphia and other places which
are pr0H;icent centers.
From now on the Gegs nftbe world prom.

to keep up an annoyance of our

Every attempt to land any forces

with McClellan's army behind him.
The remoulding of the army was
going on in obedience to the Con-
script plan. This gave a good
chance for the Federals to strike an
effective blow somewhere. Our men
lying in the Swamps along the coast
were exposed to malarial diseases

water becoming more and more dis

The Federals who had possession Of

atmosphere to breathe, and a much
better grade of water to drink. This
being the case, they began to send
all their surplus men to Virginia, to
assist Gen. Mcclellan in his seige of

The Returns from Pembinn.

President Cleveland once asked
Bishop Whipple what would be the
effect of making the Indians voters.
Then Bishop Whipple told him that
it had been tried, and after listening
to the story President Cleveland gave
up the idea.
In Dakota territorial days a law was
passed allowing Indians wearing civil
lied dress to vote. In the following
election, when both sides were claim
ing the victory, some one said: "Wait
until you hear from Pembina." In
Pembina lived large number of the
Pembina tribe of Indians, and there
also dwelt the local political boss,
"Jud" La MOure, famed for his seal.
skin overcoat and his qualities as a
political fighter. When the returns
came in from Pembina it was found
that the members of the tribe had
all been put into hickory shirts and
trousers on election day, between sun
rise and sunset, and after exercising
the inalienable rights of citizenship,
at the dictation of the local boss, they
returned again to their blankets, hav-
ing decided the territorial election

Bound to Rise.

Into the office of st. Louis mer-
chant there walked a boy not more
than IA years old, with clothes well
worn and a look of timidity upon his
face. Approaching the person whom
he judged to be in charge, he asked:
''Do you want a boss, mister?"
whats that?" almost yelled the man
spoken to, and who proved to be the
proprietor. 81 want to know if you
want a boss, sir?'' 81 fail to under

''Well, sir, I've been looking for a job

to want a. boy, so L thought I'd try
and see if somebody didn't want a
boss. I'd like mighty well to be a
boss" The merchant whistled.
''Wen, WE'LL That's good! Are you
willing to work up to the job of boss?
1t took me 25 years to get it." ''I'm
willing, all right" came the quick
response. evil you give me a
chance, sir?" He was taken at his
word and to-day that 14-year-old boy
can be seen struggling in earnest
with packing cases and bundles in the
shipping room of the concern. He
says he'll be the boss before his beard
is gray, and the chances are that he
will.-Golden Days.
