Reflections of 4 Bachelor.

Old maids are the toast and tea o.
life, widows the coffee and cheese.
A widow always acts like man
ought TO know that she has stood a
good test.
Children are instinctively delicate
about not wondering as to their fathers
brains.
girl with pretty feet can lose
slipper as easily as one with scrawny
neck can believe in modest dressing.
No matter how much a man loves a
woman, she can never be the same to
him after he has heard her snore.
Some men never can knock it into
their thick heads that the way to boss
a woman is to be bo<sed by her.
When a woman asks you if you love
Ter she won't wait for your answer if
you go to telling her how pretty she
looks.
The average man uses as much int
ligence trying to get rich as the little
boy VINO is told that the more mush and
milk he eats the more chocolate cake
he can have, and does it..

A Hogg at the Trough.

Recent dispatches from London state
that Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas has
sold his oil fields in the Lone Star state
to an English syndicate for two and
half million dollars in British gold.
Thus passes one of the most vociferous
of the calamity bowling octopus hunt
ers and thus the ranks of the once
hated plutocrats receive generous
augmentation. 1t was only few
years ago that James Stephen Hogg
was solmenly dedicating his life to
battle in defense of the people against
the encroachments of the money
power His heart bled at the sight of
the country ground down under the
heel of the gold standard, and he made
his plea from many stump for the es-
Enlistment of 16 to 1 regime SO that
the republic might be saved from the
direst calamities. In all the land
there was no more noisy foe of plutoc-
racy and the trusts.
But one Gay ne struck oil on his land
in Texas, and he stopped his wailing
and warnings and began to hustle. And
since then not word has he had to
say against wealth or the gold stand
ard or plutocrats or trusts; not even a
whisper of calamity and ruin has
come from him. He has been in Eng
land of late hobnobbing with nobility,
and walking with contented counte-
nance through the once hated and
feared Lombard street. Now that he
has two and a half millions of British
gold in his pocket, will resume his
warfare against wealth? Hardly; he
will leave the propagation of Popu-
lism to those whose ventures have been
less successful.
His case illustrates the general rule.
The calamity bowler is usually the I'M
successful man, or the man who seeks
his own advancement by the unsuc-
cess of others. His stock in trade is
the poverty of his neighbors. AS he
prospers, their woes appeal to him less
keenly; as they prosper they cease to
listen to him. The hog whose nose is
busy in the trough isn't the one that is
doing the squealing.

The Distant Hymn.

In a throbbin,s cadence,
Through the twilight dim,
In a grooming murmur,
Comes an oiden hymn;
Ringing, rising, falling,
Soft and low and sweet,
While the mellow echoes,
Whispering repeat.
Organ tones and voices
Perfectly they blend,
Till we fall to hoping
That they will not end
That the lulling measures
May drift on and on,
Till they greet the rapture
OF the glowing dawn.
Rich and low and tender,
on the air of night,
Waiting with it incense,
Bringing US delight,
Comes the wordleSS music
From the far away,
Lending newer glory
TO the dying day.
Thus may all the singing
Echo to the throne,
Like the hymn at twilight,
Into beauty grown
Like the mellow music,
Perfect and complete,
Ringing, rising. falling,
Soft and low and sweet.

ALLOWANCES TO BE MADE.

An Eastern paper directs attention to a fanacy
which Is by no means Uncommon in the tables Of the
losses incidental to strikes The popular habit of fig
urtng the cost Of these industrial struggles is far
enough from the actual facts to warrant a correction.
The present anthracite coal strike Is an instance.
At the end Of the eleventh week, a table published
throughout the country puts the Toss to operators in
price Of coal (normaD' at $27,22o,ooo and the loss In
wages to strikers" at s12, y00O. By this method Of
figuring the operators are losing more than twice as
much as the strikers
According to well-authenticated figures, the annual
production Of anthracite is about 5,Oo0,0 600 tons. Con-
cedthg that no hard coal has been mined during the
past eleven weeks, 1t may safely be said that the
supply has been reduced by about 100000 tons.
I. is generally estimated that the operators had
about 100000 tons on hand at the beginning of the
strike. They have been ~disposing of this at an ad-
vance Of 81 a ton, thus making an additional profit
over their normal e1pectancIes Of s2o,o0o,OOo. Late
reports assert that the price win again be raised an
other 81, 90 that while the supply holds out the opera
tors VIII more than double their profits.
1t Is not all loss to the operators. They have an
advantage not possessed by the miners in having this
source Of reserve revenue. The tables take small ac-
count Of this feature of the fight. Neither do the max
es of the usual tables consider that the operators are
at small expense in maintaining the mines. Until
these allowances are made, the miners cannot claim
to hold the whiphand By sustaining the lesser losses.

AGAIN THE MULE,

Now the Missouri mule is a Tennessee political
issue. Over in Chattanooga a Republican Judge Of
the County Court so far let his good judgment get the
better of his political discretion that he came over TO
st. Louis and paid $14S apiece for some fair specl-
ments Of Missouri's famous product.
This Judge-Walker is his name-is now up for re-
election. Local and State pride have naturally arisen
in partisan spleen against a county official who would
think of going elsewhere to secure necessary draft
animals. The papers are making the most Of the
incident.
1t would seem that there is only one thing for this
erring Judge to do. Undoubtedly he has been indis-
Greet. Yet he has one remedy-a remedy which
should vindicate him in the eyes Of at least some
voters.
Let him parade the mules up and down his judicial
district. Let competent horse and mule men COM
pare this imported stock with the local article. Let
the teams OF Missouri mules enter into practical COM
petition with the Tennessee product. After the tests
and public examination, he should have no difficulty
In explaining why he paid an extra 500 apiece for his
mules-the local mules will hardly claim to be worth
more than S4s.
Seeing Is believing. Perhaps this Judge-Re-
publican though he be-knows a good thing when he
sees 1t. That should explain his admiratio- for the
Missouri mule. Let him educate his erring c%onstitu-
ents to the same idea-he may yet save himself.
