TRIVIAL, YET POTENT.
enc Tyranny of the Small and the
Helpleysness of Mankind.

Hc1ple3SnesS OF ManklEU.
The tyranny of littleness' is the
cruel deSpOtism not of one master. but
of multitude of small ones. Witness
the lronclad sway which any sovereign
ruler of the kitchen may WELD over a
helpless household. What happiness CT
misery is bestowed lightly by one who
turns tOaSter or brewS a pot of cOf-
fee.
We are all slaves to milliners and
tailCrs. The milkman holds us helpless
in his clutches. The chore man orders
us about. The maid of all work beck
ons. and we follow. We bow and
scrape before the naughty plumber
We who would strike down mon
archs and measure swords with min
listers of finance. what sorry figures
we cut in the community if sighted by
the laundrymen! We scarce can hold
our own against surly railway por-
ter, and it is but by the courtesy Of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apartment. And who shall
stand before the overwhelming power
vested in an offended waiter? We
cannot even mount a trolley car If the
conductor and motOrman choose to ig
more us.
The man who rules the Stock EX-
change cannot rest at night because an
infants voice baniShes dreams. He is
a victim to the insect world. Who
will abolish the tyranny of flies and of
mosquitoes?
Behold the tyranny Of horses. dogs
and cats, to which the great majority
of mortals submit without murmur
What master is as Xacting as a tight
shoe or a tOrtUring collar? A parrot
or pet canary can sadly try mems
souls. Yes, things are in the saddle
and ride mankind"
Who will do justice to the tyranny
Of the depraved inanimate taskmasters?
a diamond necklace changes the his
tory Of empires. a c0Urt:ers cloak
may pave the way to royal favor A
glove, Il handkerchief. glass slipper.
what things to conjure with. Slaves
of the lamp. Slaves of the ring.
All. the supremacy of trivial things.
that one real tyranny to which we all
bow down. Is there no hope that we
may some day throw off the heavy
yoke? Well is it for us to mediate
upon this vital problem which touches
each so closely. And as we mediate
we may grow wise enough to break
some Of the multtudinous shackels

OLD SOLDIER GOES INSANE.
Thinks He is Not Getting Enough to
Eat-Taken to Independence.

William Stone, a veteran of the Sol
ton on July III from Ninton, Went vio-
lently in sane Monday, broke up the
furniture in his ward at the hospital
and was removed to the guard house
where he was kept until the sherffs
officers could take him in charge. Stone
is 10 years of age and was mentally un-
balanced when he came to the Home
last month His halucination then was
that some one was trying to do him
bodily harm, burn his home and rob
him of his money. His latest trouble,
however, seems to have taken turn,
and now he imagines that he is being
starved to death. When the commits
sioners met Monday evening to look
after his case he told them he had not
had anything to eat for four days, and
that he was gradually dying from star
walton. Sheriff w. G. Youel. Of Benton
county, arrived in the city Monday eve
ming and left this morning for Ninton
With his prisoner. He will be taken
before the commissioners of Benton
county and ordered sent to the asylum
at Independence.
Stone is a veteran of Company A,
Ninth Illinois cavalry. He has a good
war record, having served from the
time of his enlistment at Carbonate in
October, 1862. until his discharge at
Louisville, Ky, in July, 1865.
