Blaine and told him that I thought he could safely take seat. But he wouldn't .do it. T shall not put my foot into the carriage, he said firmly, until a man is put at the head of each horse, and is made to stay there.

Only One Objection.
rom the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 When the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, pastor of the Park church, Elmira, died, the difficult problem of filling his place confronted the trustees of the church. The choice finally settled upon the Rev. Annie Ford Eastman. one of the few wo- men who have made a success of the calling.
 An enthusiastic admirer took friend of his to hear Mrs Eastman several Sun days ago. At the conclusion of the ser mon the friend was asked how he liked 1t.
 .'rhe sermon was all right" was the reply, "but I hear woman preach six days in the week, and on the seventh l prefer to hear a man.

Henry Wensler of Spikers Station,
Wabash county, Ind, belonged to the
E1ghty-ninth Indiana infantry during
the civil war. While on a march in
the south he was Frustrated by heat
and later became insane, remaining in
a hospital for many years, incurable
but harmless. Meantime his wife Oh
tanned a divorce and the court ap-
pointed a guardian for him. In the
'1O's he was awarded a pension of $50
per month for disability, and later 1t
was found that he had some property.
In 1900 the funds in the guardians
hands amounted to over 500, 900.
Eventually Wensler recovered SUM-
GENTLY to earn quite little as ped
dler, and finding that he got along
all right he consulted a lawyer, with
the view of going into court to prove
his sanity, his idea being to get pos
session of his property. Then Wensler
learned that if he should be proven
sane his $50 pension would be cut of,
whereupon he decided not to prosecute
the matter further. He will therefore
continue to be insane and collect S6OC
year He is now 65 years old, is in
good physical and very fair mental
condition, showing every evidence that
he will last a long while yet.

"Impresnable Fortifications.~

General Sterling Price of Missouri
was one of the best fighters in the
Confederate army, but as a writer In
the Washington Post overheard a
veteran say, he was "a scholar in IN
verse ratio Complex tactical move
ments in practice did not stagger him,
but the simplest problem on paper was
beyond his power.
During the early days of the Civil
war he visited Gen. Beauregard, who
was a graduate of West Point, an ex-
pert mathematician, a civil engineer,
and an authority on military tactics
and strategy.
At Corinth, Mississippi, Beauregard
had opportunity to put his theory into
practice, and had placed about the
city a series of Notifications which he
spoke of as ''impregnable."
He took General Price in a carriage
to view these Notifications, carefully
explaining their merits. Then he asked
Gen. Price what he thought of the
system.
Price Strengthened himself up and
said, thoughtfully, well, / hain't never
seen none like 'er but onct befo."

WomanIY Virtues.

First, one must understand that
what attracts men and what they like
are not always the same thing.
A man is often attracted by be-
witching smile, but a good-tempered
woman in the end has the greatest
hold on him and wins his respect. 1t
is a mistake to think that in these
days men prefer brainless, silly wo-
men, says the Buffalo Times
On the contrary, they like those who
have bright, quick brains, who take
an interest in things around them and
can talk sensibly on subjects in which
they themselves are interested, though
if the women possess superior knowi-
edge on any one topic they will do well
to keep that fact in the background
and play the part of interested listen
erS.
Irreverent women are an abomina-
ton to men, Whatever may be their
own religious opinions, if they have
any, at any rate they like to feel that
women cling to the faith which they
once learned at their mothers knee.

Where the Children Used to Play.
The old farm-home is mothers yet and
mine
And filed it is with plenty and to
But we are lonely here in life's decline
Though fortune smiles around us every
where;
We look across the gold
OF the harvests. of old
The corn, the fragrant clover, and the
hay;
But most we turn our gaze,
As with eyes of other days
To the orchard where our children used
to play
Oh from our lifes full measure
And rich hoard of worldly treasure
We often turn our weary eyes away,
And hand in hand wander
Down the old path winding yonder
To the orchard where the children used
to play.
Our sloping pasture lands are filled with
herds
The barn and granary bins are bullying
DER;
The groves a paradise of singing birds
The woodland brook leaps laughing by
the door;
Yet lonely, lonely still.
Let prosper we will,
Our old hearts seem empty every
way
We can only through a mist
See the faces have kissed
In the orchard where the children used
to play.
Oh from our life's full measure
And rich hoard of worldly treasure
We often turn our weary eyes away,
And hand in hand wander
Down the old path winding yonder
To the orchard where the children used
to play.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER Is
MADE.

The Health Department of New
York has seized quantity of so-ealled
cheap baking powder, which it found
In that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum POWDER
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverfzed
rock.
The powder was declared to be dam
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carried to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
cheap articles of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream of tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Free-Trade in Cattle.

The Philadelphia Record, in dealing
with the meat tr1st question, says:
1T is not pretended, however, by
the most sanguine champions of free
trade that mere repeal of the meat
duties would destroy this rapacious
combination against the American
people"
Nevertheless, the Record thinks that
we should begin by repeating the tariff
"behind which the trust has in
trenched itself with the false pretense
that the duties on meats are imposed
solely to protect American farmers"
But is it on false pretense that
duties On meats are imposed to protect
American farmers Does not the
Record give away its whole contention
in this regard when it urges the repeal
of the tariff on live animals SO that
cattle can be imported tree or duty
from Mexico and Canada, and thus
cheaper the cost of meat to American
consumers? How shall the cost Of
meat be cheapened to the consumer
unless the price of the American farm
er's cattle be first cheapened? Free

Not Mich Relief.

The cut in duty, making it apply so
that but so per cent of the lawful rate
shall be collected on Cuban products,
will not give Cuban sugar planters
much relief. They will have to sell
their raw sugar to the sugar trust,
which owns the only refneries, and
the trust will, of course, see that they
get practically nothing of the advan-
tage which the lowered rate is sup
posed to give them. But If congress
would adopt the Tawney plan of col
lecting the full duty and giving the
rebate to the planters direct, the re-
lief would be sure and they would get
all of it. In that case perhaps the
20 per cent proposed would be enough.
But with the direct cut the re1neries
would get the benefits up to point
where it would be scandalous to refuse
to divide with the sugar growers
