ANOTHER GREAT YEAR.
Steady Advance Made in Every
Direction by The Pittsburg
Dnef

Direction by The Pittsburg
Post.
We notice that "The Pittsburg
Post has had its share of the
prosperity of the business world
in the past year and has maintained
its position at tle head of the
newspaper pa ,ssion in Pittsburg.
"The Post las always aimed to
be clean. decent newspaper, de-
void of sensationalism, giving as
accurately as possible all the rews
that was proper for publication,
carefully keeping out of it's COL
umns such matters as would give
offense or do injury. That "The
Post" is esteemed and appreciated
at its full worth is proved by the
steady progress during the year
just closed
The daily and Sunday issues are
keeping pace with each other, both
in the matter of subscribers and in
value as advertising mediums. As
to news, special features and illus
trations, the reputation of the daily
and Sunday Post" is SO well es-
tablished that it is scarcely neces-
sary to go into details here.
"The Post" enjoys the distinc-
tion of having the solidest circula-
tion of any newspaper in the city.
No schemes to promote mushroom
subscription lists are ever employ
ed, the plan of the management
to make the paper SO good that
people read it for its worth, not be-
cause they are solicited, with
premium offers and coupon clap
trap. Calculations inflated by per-
nicious methods are of no value to
the newspaper or advertisers, and
the latter are the first to learn this
fact. "The Post" too, has less
returned copies than any other
newspaper in Pittsburg, proving
again the solidity of "The Posts"
circulation, for it is easy enough to
boast of large output from press
es when copies are printed only to
be returned and sent to the junk
pile.
During the past year "The Daily
Post" increased it's subscription
list 2.44S copies and "The Sunday
Post" 9,6lO.
Its advertising record is quite as
remarkable, showing an increase of
1892 columns of advertising over
the previous year.

The Time a Man sleeps.

Tell man that he has slept 20
years and he'll give you a plying
STARE" remarked the man with a
mania for statistics; but it's fact.
The man who has reached the age
of go has spent one-third of his
life, or twenty years, in slumber,
aud if a man is lucky enough to
live until he is 75 he has Rip Van
Winkle beaten to stand still.
The average person sleeps eight
hours day, or exactly one-third of
his days life. Again, if you alb
ruptly inform man of so that he
has slowed a herd of cattle under
his belt in his time. he will put
you down as a third year man at
an insane asylum. Figures, how
ever, don't lie. and you can give
him statistical knockout. A
healthy man eats on a conserve
tive estimate. one pound of meat
every day of his life, and in 60
years he will devour 20. 900 pounds.
Allowing 1000 pounds as the aver
age weight of a beefe. you have %
cattle. pretty respectable herd. 1
think. There are lots of other
surprising things that figures viii
demonstrate, but 1 haven't time to

Mr.. Bryan met with a kindly
welcome in his public addresses in
New England last week, amid the
academic groves" as in the manu-
featuring centers. He spoke on
non partisan questions, but still
on issues that largely concern the
people. The Springfield "Repub-
lican," not supporter but a radi-
cal opponent of Mr.. Bryan's cur
rency ideas in the last two Nation
al campaigns, says he was sin
splendid form" at his address in
Holyoke, Mass, on Friday, hold
ing with ease the closest attention
of large audience for two solid
hours" The Republican" adds:
The address contained much
wholesome doctrine. His oratory
can best be appreciated when his
voice is in perfect condition.
Probably most people hRye heard
him in political campaigns when
his speaking has been more or less
husky from excessive effort. Whep
in a normal state Mr.. Bryan's vocal
organ is superb instrument of
speech, and the orator is rarely
gifted by nature who combines
voice and physical presence as he
does. He is now at the full ma
turity of his powers, although as a
presidential candidate he is entire
ly man with past rather than a
man with a future. Still, those
who heard him last evening could
scarcely avoid the feeling that Mr..
Bryan is likely to remain in some
form, considerable force among
that portion of the american peo-
pie who have adhered to the Dem.
ocratic party.

Senator Vests Tribute to the Dog.

Vutor eyer palQ 10 tue uOg was ue
livered by Senator Vest, of Mis-
souri,, some years ago. He was at
tending court in country town
and while waiting for the trial of /,
case in which he was interested
was urged by the attorneys in g
dog case to help them. Volumin,
nous evidence was introduced tc
show that the defendant had shot
the dog in malice, while other evi.
dence went to show that the dog
had attacked defendant. Vest took
no part in the trial and was moi
disposed to speak. The attorneys
however, urged him to speak. Be.
ing thus urged he arofe. scanned
the face of each juryman for a mo.
ment, and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: The
best friend man has in the world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
.that-he has reared With loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to ust those
whom we trust with our happiness
and good name. may become trail
tors to their faith. The money
that man has he may lose. 1t
flies away from him, perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputa-
tion may be sacrificed in a moment
of ill-considered action. The peo-
pie who are prone to fall on their
knees to do US honor when success
is with us may be the first to throw
the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man can have in this world,
the one that never deserts him, the
one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous, is his dog. Aman's
dog stands by him in prosperity
and poverty, in health and in sick
ness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely,
if he only may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand that
mas no food to offer; he will lick
the wounds and sores that comes in
encounter with the roughness of
the world. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as if he were a
prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls to
pieces he is as constant in his love
as the sun in its journeys through
the heavens. If fortune drives the
master forth an outcast in the
world. friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privil-
ege than that of accompanying
him, to guard against danger, to
fight against his enemies. And
when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in its
embrace. and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if all
other friends pursue their way,
there by the graveside will the no.
BILE dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad, 5ut open in
alert watchfulness, faithful and
even in DEATH"
Then Vest sat down. He had
spoken in low voice, without a
gesture. He made no reference TO
the evidence or merits of the case.
When he finished judge and jury
were wiping their eyes. The jury
fled out but soon entered with a
verdict of $500 for the plaintiff,
whose dog was shot; and it was
said that some of the jurors wanted
to hang the defendant.-The Bar.
