BENJAMIN harrison on Honesty.

81 have been taught that honor was
first of all things in this world that it
was the foundation of everything,
from man S character to his tomb
stone. | have been told that, if man
lives strictly honest life, he will be
led by unseen hands to the goal he
strives to gain, and that, even if he
should make no goal of recognition in
his life, fate will bless him with hap
piness that is greater than all riches.
1t seems to me that it would be an
easy thing for man to say, 81 am
going to be honest, even if he is not,
and then live up to that doctrine.
People may doubt his sincerity, at
first, but the time will come when
they will see that he meant to do all
that he agreed to do and he will receive
their absolute trust and confidence,
and his life, instead of being ruffled
with abuse and disrespect, will be even
and peaceful Extract from an essay
written by the late Benjamin Har-
rison at the age of IL.

ALLEGED COUNTERFEITEkS.
officers Make Two Arrests in Sa-
loon at Nashville.

Nashville Tenn. Sept. Admitted
States Secret Service officers to-day ar
rested two alleged counterfeiters in
John Woods saloon, opposite the Gus
tom house. The men are about fifty
years of age and are brothers, named
Thomas and David M. johnson. They
have been coming to town from their
home, four miles from the city, for
some time and have been hanging
around Wood 8 saloon.
When they drove up to the saloon
this morning, the officers went behind
the bar where they could oyerhear the
men and waited. Woods, the proprie-
tor of the place, engaged thu men in
conversation and as they progressed
toward drunkenness they told him how
to make the counterfeit money and
how easy it was to pass it. Then the
officers walked in ana arrested the
men.
When searched Thomas johnson had
counterfeit coins and bogus paper
dollar on his person.
Later the officers went to the home
of the Johnsons and found dies, metal
and counterfeit nickels.
The men are in Jail and deny their
guilt

SET HIS HEAD AFrRE.
Shampoo Mixture Ignites and Causes
Hot Time.

Louisville Courier-J Journal For the
first time in the history of Louisville
the fire department was called out
Wednesday night to save a life, and
Henry jackson, colored, has the dis
tinction Of being the only man whose
life was saved with Johnson pump.
jackson conducts barber shop on
Grayson street, near Eleventh. One
of Jacksons specialties is the com
pounding of shampoo mixtures On
Wednesday he prepared new formula
and one of the ingredients was whis-
key. 1t was to be his leader.
He decided to try 1t upon himself,
and one of his assistants applied it.
Another struck a match to light a Gig
arctic. The head Of the match flew off
and alighted on Jackson's head The
next moment his head was mass of
blue flames Wafer wouldn t extinguish
1t and an alarm of fire was sent in.
The firemen from Eighth and Gray
son streets were the first to arrive. The
blue flames was the only fire that they
saw. One of them carried a johnson
pump and he sprayed the negro with
Its contents. His life was saved. but
his eyes suffered some injury from the
chemicals.

Taken at his Word.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, in spite of his large in
come, was always in debt, sat one day
in barber shop waiting to be shaved.
He was lathered when the door opened
and a tradesman entered, who hap
pened to be one of the poets largest
creditors
No sooner did this man see Saint
Folk than he angrily demanded his
money.
The poet composedly begged him
not to make a scene.
"Won't you wait for the money un.
til | am shaved2"
Certainly, said the other, pleased
at the prospect.
Saint Folk then made the barber a
witness of the agreement and i'm
mediately took a towel, wiped the
lather from his face and left the shop.
He wore beard to the end of his
DAYS,

The Slanderer.

The Shiny serpent may crawl over
you and not hurt you; he leaves his
Shiny, filthy trail, even the sight of
which is repulsive to our very nature
There is another whose approach and
whose Shiny ngue is dreaded even
more than that of the serpent. That
is the slanderer. How many of our
names have been forever blackened,
and how many regulations have been
ruined in day by this dread human
serpentS No station, nor profession
nor calling is sacred from his impish
approach. How cunningly and sneak
ingly he works His agents are ever
ON the alert to lend hand to the ac-
eomplishment of his nefarious pur-
poses They don't always kill, tbs
true, but. they always defile. If the
people would only realize the awful
ness of the crime of dealing in cal.
nmny. surely they would not could
not, engage in this heinous work.-Ex.

''As for me, / will behold thy face in
righteousness shall be satisfied,
when awake with thy likeness. -
Psalms, xvii, 10.
Not here Not here Not where the
sparkling waters
Fade into knocking sands az we draw
near,
There, in the wilderness each footstep
falters,
81 shall be satisfied, but, OH not
here.
Not here, where every dream of bliss
deceives us,
Where the worn spirit never gains
its goal.
Where haunted ever by the thoughts
that grieve us
Across us bitter floods of memory
roll.
There is land where every pulse is
thrilling
With rapture earth's sojourners may
not know,
Where heaven repose the weary heart
is sitting
And peacefully life's time tossed
currents flow.
Far ont of sight while yet the flesh in
folds us
Lies the fair country where our
hearts abide
And of its bliss is naught more won
drous told us
That these few words: ~ shall be
satisfied
Satisfied Satisfied The spirit $
yearning
For sweet companionship with
kinded minds
The silent love which here meets no
returning
The inspiration which no language
finds.
Shall they be satisfied? The soul s
vague longings
/ The aching void which nothing
earthly fills?
oh what desires upon my soul are
thronging
AS | look upward to the heavenly
hills.
Thither my weak and weary steps are
tending
Savior and Lord with pale child

wanderings ending

SNAP SHOTS.

Try to get out of debt before you fall
in love.
Even bad luck may sometimes be
turned to good account.
Do not defy fate. It will do no good,
and may bring on argument
AS some see it, an honest man is one
who tells all he knows.
If you forget that home is sweet go
a-fshing and the fact will come back
to you.
Apples Of discord are fruits meet for
repentance.
The road walker should stop and
work it some time.
When the mosquito presents his bill,
settle with him on the spot.
For willful ignorance there is no
hope.
Some mortals are too kind to excel
others.
Red tape comes high, but we must
have it,
Some people are so extravagant that
they can not keep the peace.
Do not begin to talk about autumnal
aspects until the thermometer learns
how to behave itself.
Go to work, and quit working your
friend.
Man is fearfully and wonderfully
made. He is stuck up.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

William Jennings Bryan, the great
tribune of the people, in his great
paper The Commoner says:
"Some of the republican papers are
suggesting limitations upon the free
dom of speech as a cure for anarchy.
The editor of The Commoner has as
much reason as any living man to know
OF the abuse sometimes heaped upon
candidates for office He has been the
victim of as much malice and vituper-
alton as have ever been employed
against an American, and yet he is
opposed to placing any additional re
striction upon the freedom eof speech
or the freedom of the press.
First, because the evils of restric-
ton are greater than the evils of free
dom, and, second, because abuse does
not hurt the man or the party made
the subject of attack. The death of
President Mckinley can not be traced
to anything ever spoken or written
against him. The assassin spoke affec
tionately of his victim and said that
he killed him not because of his dis
like for the man Int because of his
opposition to government of any kind.
Some who are engaged in schemes
which will not bear the light will
shield themselves behind the murder
Gus deed of the assassin and denounce
freedom of speech because they do not
want the public to be informed of their
doings Others, stirred by righteous
Indignation strike at free speech be-
cause some have abused the latitude
allowed. 1t is time for liberty loving
citizens to protest against the attempt
to suppress free speech. The warfare
must be against anarchy not against
freedom of speech. Anarchy is an
European product and thrives most
where there is least freedom of speech
and least freedom of the press Let
us not make the mistake of undermin-
ing our institutions under the delusion
that we are thus protecting those insti-
buttons.
Free speech and free press are
essential to free government. No man
in public life can object to the publ
cation of the truth and no man in pub
lie life is permanently injured by the
publication of lie. That much is
published that should not be is only
too evident, but let publ opinion
correct the evil that will be more effec-
tive than law and will bring no danger
with it. There is a sense of justice in
the human heart. and he who violates
1t violates it at his own peril This
sense of justice ultimately turns abuse
to the benefit of the man abused
1.-The present laws against Islander
and libel are sufficient leave the rest
to healthy public sentiment
then help to create the sentiment.

MISSOURI HAS A SURPLUS.
That State Can Spare the Products
of Her Factories 10 Less For
tunnte States.

The new report of Missouri's sur
plus production as prepared by State
Labor Commissioner Anderson. at
Jefferson City, Mo, now ready for
distribution, makes most mag
niticent showing. The total value of
the surplus commodities of the state
for the year 1900 was $143, Ss9,345. ~.
Of this grand total the live stock
sold for $74,739 ,3o9.5s, the farm crops
for $14, 552, 646.6s, the fruit and veg
etables for $1,676, 255.O3, the mill prod
ucts for $S,s71, 331.16, the mill miner
ais for $24,335, 441.64, the timber, in
GLIDING sawed and logs, for S9,32O,-
772.20 and the miscellaneous produc-
tions for $1O,393, 500.43. The mineral
shipments are nearly one-third of the
live stock surplus and nearly $1,000
900 greater than the whole of the sur
plus farm crops. But most OF the
farm crops were fed to live stock and
went into the live stock exhibit. The
figures are startling and disclose Mis-
souri's greatness in most crafty ing
eolors.

admitted to be tho greatest spectacular
production concerning warfare that
was ever before attempted, especially by
a tented exhibition. 1t is termed the
Battle Of Tlen Tsin, a striking repre-
sentation of the rescue of the repre-

were held prisoners for some time in
Pekin. This affair requires, so the man

800 men, who battle as il in reality,
