A Disappointed Pa son.

The following story is gwen us by
resident of town up the creek. A
nice looking couple rang the door bell
OF the resident preacher the other
evening. The Parson looked out
from upstairs and took in the situa-
tion, as he thought, and took a mar
riage license and other documents
necessary in tying nuptial knots along
downstairs SO as to have things handy.
After meeting and greeting the young
and blushing couple he was just about
to inquire of the gentleman if he had
a license to enter the matrimonial rela
tions when the man said to the parson
that the lady wished to speak to the
parsons wife about a job of work for
herself in the parsons culinary de-
partment. This statement set the
parson back five dollars and he called
his wife to finish the ceremony. The
young man seemed much please d
with both ladies and there is an en-
gagement now of one kind and per-
haps the other.

1t is gratifying to note that Demo
cratic leaders everywhere are getting
into better temper with each other.
The past few months of mutual criti-
cism has about convinced all that what
each has said is like "the kAttle calling
the pot black" for there have been
mistakes and autocratic action in all
factions. Coming to realization of
this fact puts the temper of tho party
in position to unite again under more
satisfactory conditions. There is great
hope for this kind of party, brt mono
for ono torn by elimination and re-
elimination. With the lights now be-
fore us, leaving the dead past to bury
its dead" we may hope for new life
and great success in preserving the
liberties and principles npon which the
party was frs. nourished into life and
growth. Let thework proceed on these
lines of mutual consideration and we
will see in 1901 united Democracy,
holding within its loyal control the
support of majority of the people G!
this country.
