Told BY The Doctor.

An Irish physician who recently paid
a social visit to New York had a bag
full of good stories wherewith to en-
terrain his American brethren, says the
New York Times. This is one of them:
Wildly Biddy' Welsh dwelt in a
remote hamlet of Connemara, her hum
BILE roof sheltering two buxom daugh-
tiers and a hopelessly invalid son. In
behalf of the latter she was a con-
slant weekly visitor to the local free
dispensary, where she amazed good old
DR.. Davis by her perennial acquisitions
for castor oil wherewith to drench the
anemic boy. After awhile somebody
was officious enough to inform the doc
tor that the contents of the~"Widdy's"
oft-replenished cruise was absorbed, not
by the invalid, but by the tresses of
his sisters, who were blessed with
splendid masses of ''woman's crowning
glory" When Biddy next confronted
him the doctor Intercepted her
brusquely.
Did your boy drink that last bot
tle?" he inquired.
"'Deed, thin. he did, docther, dear,
an it seems the only thing to aise
him. was the answer.
Knitting his brows and peering Sc
verely over his spectacles, DR.. Davis
rejoined: II am reluctant to say Bid
dy, that anything in petticoats is
daughter of Ananias. That rebuke
is wasted upon you. But there is a
mistake somewhere. There was poison
enough in that bottle to kill every man
in the police barracks"
"F'lopping to her knees and clasping
her hands in tragic earnestness, Biddy
calculated: For the love of God, doc
thor darlint. would it hurt the hair?"

THE PRESIDENTS ASHEVILLE
SBEEf.H

1t is evident from the liberal APP
plause which the President received
during the delivery of his Ashevilie
speech that the sentiments he ex-
pressed were heartily approved. There
were good reasons for the applause.
The speech did not touch upon poll
ties. 1t dealt almost entirely with the
citizen. 1t was pitched upon a high
plane, and was well calculated TO in
spire those who were present with the
desire to be good citizens. Young men
who heard it will think of it often, and
if they are ambitious, and, at the same
time, guided by the right kind of prin-
ciples. they will endeavor to shape
their lives in accordance with the
views it contained.
Among other things the President
said: In civil life the danger is not
SO patent. but it is just as great, if
ability is not accompanied by a right
full sense of accountability to the NOR
al. law. In addition to honesty and
decency, you must have courage.
want TO see every one a good man,
and in addition to that / want to see
him a man. We must have the manly
virtues deeply imbeded as part of our
national characteristics, if we are to
do our work Alright in peace or in war"
The average citizen must have hon
esty, decency and courage if Repub-
lican institutions are to live, if gov
eminent by the people is to be sue
cess. Where these virtues predominant
to a marked degree there can be no
such scandal as has been recently de-
veloped in the municipal affairs of st.
Louis. In communities where the av-
erage citizen is noted for honesty, de-
cency and courage public affairs are
conducted in the interests of the peo-
pie. Corrupt practices in politics or in
official life are not tolerated. Those
who are inclined to do wrong are held
in check by the power of public SEN
timent The Presidents Asheville
speech will be long remembered and
often quoted by those who heard it.

Thomas NJ. Patterson, the new SEN
ator from Colorado, is principally

then Democrat again. he

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem)
says: Here in Philadelphia, where
fair elections have been made impos-
sible and where free government has
been murdered in it's cradle, is the
place for Pennypacker to speak or else
hold his peace. Is he in favor of i'm
mediate ballot reform at the polls in
this city? VIII he call off the hirelings
who stand ready for the preparation
of the very frauds that make ballot
reform impossible?"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem)
says: THE monopolist consults only
his own interest in deciding what he
will pay for raw materials and for la
Dor, and what he will charge for the
finished product. Now, all this is plain
enough. and il would be absurd to SUD-
pose that they could be contented with
any such arrangement. The proper so
luton OF the problem may not be as
yet quite obvious 10 them, but none
the less do they demand that IL shall
be solved. The party IN power must
solve II, or another party will be in
trusted with the task"

The Philosophy of benjamin Bibbs.

The Philosophy of BENJAMIN Bibbs.
There's lot of truth in the theory
that it's an i'll wind which blows no
body good I've noticed that you can
extract comfort from almost anything
If you look at it right" says Benjamin
Bibbs in the Chicago Record Herald.
There was my friend, Bobsley When
he lost his wife he felt bad, of course,
but he was sensible and tried to look
on the bright side. She may be hap
pier where she is now' he said, for
if we have the correct idea as to the
habits of the angels she needn't worry
over there because there isn't closet
room enough for her clothes. That al
ways troubled her! So 1 say we
should always look on the cheerful side
OF the picture ifthere is one, and there
generally is. There's Hibbleson, for
instance. He's been laid up nearly all
summer from the effects of an opera
ton for appendicitis. He's forty
pounds lighter than he was six months
ago. Most men would grumble over
such luck as he's had. But l saw him
the other day, and he was looking as
cheerful as girl who's engaged to
three fellows at the same time. It's a
mighty lucky thing this trouble hap
pened to me- he said. L was getting
so stout that l couldn't get into my
evening clothes any more. Now they
mt me very comfortably, and I'll be
able to get along for another season
without buying new ones. That'n be
a clean saving of $75 That's the
way to look at things. The money he
saves on clothes will help to pay the
doctors, who probably need it for the
support of their families, and think Of
the rest he's had"

The press dispatches of the past
week have contained several accounts
of mysterious disappearance of we'll
known men, the latest being that of
young Henry Grady of Atlanta. Like
particularly brutal crimes, these dis
appearances seem to run in series.
How far the influence of suggestion, d"
criminal or otherwise, induces them
would be an interesting problem for
some psychological expert to solve.

The establishment of the whipping
post as a punishment for wife heaters
has been suggested by a Philadelphia
judge. The judge said the punish
ment for these atrocities fell always
upon the wife and children rather than
upon the guilty husband, and he sug-
gested the whipping post as furnish
ing an effective way out of the diff
Guilty. 1t does seem that something
should be done and the use of the
whipping post, probably far better
than any other plan, would make the
punishment fit the crime"

Another victim of Christian Science
is reported from Denver, Col, where
William Neuroth, refusing medical aid,
died to the accompaniment of Chris
tfan Science hymns in Christian Sci
ence church. If only the physically
sound would become converts to the
alleged science it would not be so bad
it seems a dangerous doctrine for those
who suffer real and not imaginary
ills of the flesh.

Fast upon the account of the death
of Maj. Charles A. Smylie of Brook
Ign, who was shot and killed by a
companion who thought him a deer,
comes the report of similar happen

suits. Taken together they preach the
doctrine of exceeding caution in the
use of weapons at night, a doctrine
enthusiastic hunters seem to find it
difficult to absorb.

The New York Herald advocates the

So far we have seen no editorial APP
prevail of the reported purpose of the
Hayti to this country. The Washing
ton Post expresses the general trend
of public opinion when it says, for
our part, we regard the island of

republic of San Domingo. as the home
of hopeless and ineurable barbar-
ism" This was the view of the matter
taken by the Morning News, and each
succeeding performance of the war
