He PRAYED HARD.

An old man in Georgia named Jack
Baldwin, having lost his hat in a dry
well one day, hitched a rope to a tree
stump and let himself down. A wick
ed wag named Neal came along just
then and, quietly detaching a bell from
Baldwin's old blind horse, approached
the well, bell in hand and began to
ting-a-ling.
Jack thought the old horse was COM
ing and said: Hang the old bnnd
horse! He's coming this way sure,
and he amt got no more sense than to
fall right in on me. Whoa, Ball"
The sound came closer.
Great Jerusalem, the old blind fool
will be right on top of me in a mint!
Whoa, Ball! Whoa, haw, Bali"
Neal kicked a little dirt on Jacks
head, and Jack began to pray:
"Oh, Lord, have mercy on-wnoa,
Ball!-a poor sinner-Im gone now,
whoa, Ball. Our father who are in
whoa!-hallowed be thy-gee, Ball, gee!
what'll I do?-name. Now I lay me
down to SIEGE, Ball" Just then in
fell more dirt. "Oh, Lord, if you ever
intend to do anything for me-back,
Ball! Whoa!-Thy kingdom come
Gee, Ball! Oh, Lord, you know I was
baptized in Smiths mill dam-whoa,
Ball! oh! up! murder! whoa"
Neal could hold in no longer and
shouted laugh that might have been
heard two miles, which was about as
far as Jack chased him when he got
out.-Atlanta Journal.

SHE DEcLINED.-Few Of the American
boys have careers made for them.
Those who deplore this fact and shun
the stings of self-effort may find tonic
in the reply Of a Western girl to an
offer of marriage.
A young man Of more book-learning
than force of character, lost the young
wife who had toiled to support him,
returned to his native town for conso-
lation and found it. Some months la
ter she, too, passed away, and the sad
youth soon appealed to a well-known
clergyman for assistance in finding a
helpmate.
The minister introduced him to a
Western girl of health and energy, who
the next day received a plaintive note
from the widower. He declared that
the Lord had made great inroads up
on his marital affections, and it now
seemed to be his will that she would
repair the breaches of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman
keeps today as one of the choicest
specimens af varied collection, reads
simply:
Mend your own breeches. ."-Youth's
Companion.

AN INCIDENT OF THE HoUSE.-When
the army bill was under discussion in
the house of representatives there was
a little dialogue on the floor which does
not appear in the record. A neW men,
ber was making speech against the
policy of expansion and the administra-
tion Of affairs in the new possessions
in the Pacific" which he insisted upon
calling the philippians" Represen-
tative Fitzpatrick, of Kentucky, listen
ed with amusement for a little while,
then rose and asked respectfully:
Twill the gentleman permit ques-
tion?"
Certainly replied the green men,
ber, and took a sip Of water from a
glass that stood on his desk.
Don't you think that we ought to
lambast the stufting out of those Phil
ippians for not answering st. Paul's
last letter." inquired Mr.. Fitzpatrick
in the most serious manner.
The orator turned very red, fumbled
with his handkerchief for a few sec
onds, and then, keeping his temper with
admirable self-control, turned his back
on the waggish member from Ken
lucky and proceeded with his speech.

WISE IN HIS GENERATIoN.-An anus

pounded to a student at the medical
college by one of the lecturers the 9TH

The instructor had just been giving
his class few bits Of choice advice as

they found themselves in position dee

greater ability being available.

actions, but proceed to apply the les

you do if you should find yourself with

When a customer seeks to pur-
chase some well-known, widely ad-
vertised, standard article, and the
dealer tries to sell him something
else claiming the offered substitute
to be lust as good" that dealer is
guilty of fragrant falsehood.
If the substitute were Just as
good it would sell on its own mer-
it's and would be called for by Gus
toners instead of having to be un-
loaded upon them by means of
falsehood and deceit.
The very fact of the comparison
lust as good" proves the claim to
be untrue. We measure up, not
down. We measure the less by
the greater, not the greater by the
less. When, therefore, some un-
known or little known article is
ranged up for measurement by a
well-known standard article, the
very fact of such measurement and
comparison, stamps the substitute
as lesser thing than the standard
article with which it is compared.
But this is only half the truth.
By this we prove the claim lust
as good" to be falsehood, but the
extent of that falsehood it is inn
possible to estimate. lust as good"
means, in general, adulteration in
place of purity, an uncertain quail
ity instead of a certain quality
cheap material instead of good ma
terial. And beyond all this the
adulterants may be not simple
make weights and cheats, but in
some cases may be dangerous poi
sons. {.
When the dealer says "just as
good" ask yourself lust as good"
for whom? You will find in the
answer to that question the motive
of substitution, which is the extra
profit paid the dealer by the
sale of the substitutes and imi-
tations of standard wares. Practi-
cally the dealer says, when practi-
cling the gentle art of substitution,
This is Just as good for you, be-
cause it is great deal more pro-
fitable for me, and anything is
good enough for you which in
creases my profits"

Advertising.

If there is one enterprise on this
earth that a "quitter" should leave
severely alone, it is advertising.
To make a success of advertising,
he must stick to it like barnacle
to boats bottom. He should
know before he begins it, that he
must spend money-lots of it..
Somebody should tell him, also,
that he cannot hope to reap results
commensurate with his expendi-
ture, early in the game. 1t is the
man who has money to invest
.profitably; who believes the in
vestment will pay, and then,
beginning to spend money, stay
in the games to the finish, who
makes a success of advertising.
Advertising doesn't jerk. 1t pulls.
1t begins very gently at first. So
gently, in fact, that you would
hardly notice it. But the pull is
steady. 1t increases day by day,
and year by year until it finally
exerts an irresistible power. 1t

Newland's Charges.

1t was strange statement for
Mr.. Newland's to make: That he
feared to submit the lottery ques-
tion to vote of the people through
fear that the corrupt forces"
would win, or in other words that
the people would sell themselves
out-that they would be bought
and paid for.
1t is stranger that it should come
from our Congressman who himself
was elected by the people of this
same State by a large majority to
the position he now holds and will
continue to fill for the next two
years. To assume that the cor
rupt forces" can win by corruption
he must assume that the purchas-
able votes constitute a majority of
our voters; in other words that
more than half our people sell
their votes to the highest bidder.
Therefore, Mr.. Newlands to get
the majority which made him Con-
gressman from Nevada must have
received large number of pur-
chasable votes, else he would not
have secured such a majority.
From time to time it has been
intimated that Mr.. Newlands Sc
cured his election by the liberal
purchase of votes-notably in Wa
shoe county. Does he intend his
statement to appear as confession
or an admission? 1t cannot be re-
garded otherwise, if he is correct
ly reported and his statements
have now stood three days in the
public press without denial. If
his experience has taught him that
corruption will bring success to
any venture launched in Nevada
the glory of his own success, be-
fore the same people whom he
fears sell out" must be dimmed
by an appreciation of the possible
means which led to it.
The people of Nevada have a
right to vote upon the lottery or
any other important measure. No
member of the legislature can de-
fend himself in taking the position
that he is dictator of the States
policy, that he is infallible and can
do no wrong, or that he is keeper
of the States morals. The people
themselves are responsible for all
these things and have as much
right to vote upon them as they
have a right to vote on the ques-
ton of Mr.. Newland's fitness and
acceptability as Congressman.
With them rests the answer.
1t is a very ungrateful act for
Mr. Ncwlands to charge that a
majority of the people who voted
for him are open to corruption
