A SHAMELESS SCHEME. =
Advocates of the ship subsidy. bill,
with the greed characteristic Of men in
pursuit of loot and booty, are endeav-
oring to side track everything else in
congress with q view Of rushing their
scheme through. 1t tries the patience
excessively when an open, barefaced
graft and grab like this is attempted.
Here is bill manifestly drafted in
the interest of few individuals and
corporations. Should it become a law
it will take from 10000, 600 to $500, .
100000 directly out of the pockets Of
the masses Of the people and bestow
the sum upon few persons already
swollen with wealth. Senator Hanna
is welding the power of the a6ut,nis-
tration in the endeavor to force it
through. $3.50
Examples like this have a deplorable
effect on the country. They spread the
idea that government is a game Of grab
and steal and teach the masses Of the
people to try their hand at it through
contiscatory taxation.-Portland Orego-

LIFE.

The poets exclamation: 80 Life! /

Joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not HUe, but eaist; for
to Hoe implies more than to be. To
live is to be we'll and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties of
the day, and to retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in the veins.
A medicine that has made thousands
of people, men and women, well and
strong, has accomplished a great work,
bestowing the richest blessings, and
that medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The weak, rundown, or debilitated,
from any cause, should not fail to take
it. 1t builds up the whole system,
changes existence into life, and makes
life more abounding. We are glad to
say these words in its favor to the
readers of our columns.

Mrs. Seely turned with shiver, and
the girls caught their breath.

Would she not be still more terrible in

But it was not the sight they were

slippered feet, and a lace-trimmed
wrapper, fitting snugly to a perfect

"Good morning." she said, gently.
Harvey had followed her closely.
"Well, Dora," he said, looking from
one to another Of his speechless rela-
tives, quizzically, "they don't seem in
clined to speak to you."
But Margery had come toward her
hastily, and seized both of her hands.
"Was it you all the time ?' cried
Margery, joyfully. "And the gray
hair WAS false, and the wrinkles were

He paused suddenly.
"What was all you could do!" in,

his knife and fork, with a beaming
smile, "here goes. Here's the news

Kitty's spoon fell into her saucer
with clatter, and Mr.. Seely dropped
his roll hastily.
Married." said Margery breath
lessly.
Mrs. Seely alone remained calm.
She rolled up her napkin, put it in
its ring and looked at her son through
her gold dbowed glasses composedly.
She felt, however, that this was an
important crisis.
When Harvey-their only son-had,
with commendable independence, left
his pleasant home to "get start" in
the neighboring city, they had all ex-
pected great things of him.
He would he rapidly successful; he
would distinguish himself in the pro-
fession he had chosen and amass for
tune; and he would WOO and win some
sweet girl, With long row OF ancestors
the Seelys, being themselves a good
old family, were great respecters of
blue blood-a host of accomplishments
and heavy dowry.
Their hopes had seemed likely to be
fulfilled. Harvey had proved himself
possessed of remarkable business quail
ties; he had risen quickly, and had
recently exceeded their widest ambi-
tions by being made junior party Of
his firm.
All that now remained to be desired
was his safe conquest Of the beautiful
and aristocratic young person of their
dreams, with her many talents and
substantial Inheritance.
1t is not to he wondered at, there
fore, that the girls were trembling with
cagerness; that Mr.. Seely fumbled
with his watch chain in nervous sus-
pense, and that Mrs. Seely opened her
lips twice before she found strength to

Harvey.
