To Austria.

Circuit tour tickets covering the
railroad trip to the Pacific Coast and
via the various Pacific steamship
lines to the far East, are each day
becoming feature of greater popu-
larity to the travelling public. The
Chicago and Northwestern Ry. have
recently announced the sale of ticket
of this character to Sidney, Australia
and return, in connection with their
Overland Service to the Coast, tick
cts being good returning via the Roy
al Mail Line to Vancouver or via the
Oceanic S. S. Co.'S Line, the direct
route to San Francisco.
These circuit tour tickets are sold
at very low rates. The trans-Pacific
service has grown and improved very
rapidly in recent years and tourists
find the trip filled with scenes of pic
turesque interest not equaled in the
old journeys made by tourists through
England and on the continent.
The trans-continental train service
and the trans-Pacific steamship SER
vice are of the highest possible char.
acter and the time required for max
ing these journeys is much less than
ever before.

Pride and Its Fall.

Day after day this dandelion revel-

Col. L. M. Strong.

Col. L. NJ. Strong, who recently
died at his home in Kenton, was a
man who deserved more than passing
notice. He was a man of the best
rank of citizenship. He was born to
pioneer life, and came up from the
humble ranks of life on his own merit
and ability: and though he was not
brilliant man, yet achieved a fair
share of the honors of life. He was
a true man, wherever he was found.
Honorable, upright, Industrious, and
studious, he succeeded at the bar
and became a common Pleas Judge.
Entering political life, he was elect
ed to the State Senate and was re-
elected-one of the few men in the
District, who have achieved this
honor. Afterwards he was elected
to Congress for two terms, and proved
a very faithful and useful member,
looking closely after the interests of
his constituents and giving his coun-
try his conscientious services. No
faint of job or corruption vas ever
brought against him, and his public
life was as pure as his private life.
When the civil war broke out, Mr..
Strong volunteered in 1861. and was
made a Captain in the 49th regiment
one of the best regiments that left
the State, and served with distinc-
tion in the Army of the Cumberland,
being seriously wounded in several
battles. He was promoted success
lively to Major and Lieut.. Colonel,
and was finally forced to resign on
account of a bad wound received
in the battle of Nashville.
The country had no more devoted
or faithful defender than Col. Strong

LINCOLN.
DAVID A. LIGGITT.

DAVID -.
Lincoln, immortal leader of men.
Wise. with little learning,
Careful-discerning.
Today we honor thy name,
Poverty dwelt In the place Of thy birth.
Adversely developed thy true worth.
The world knows of thy name.
Statesman, wiser than men OF thy day,
Thy counsels rejected,
Plans disrespected,
Brought on US most bloody war.
There brother fought brother. father fought
son.
Rent in sunder the land iightfully one.
And bathed the land In gore.
Savior, the ship of state thou didst guide
In war, victorious;
To peace, glorious;
But thou didst give thine own life
To lift those whose walk was dark and
lowly.
A sacrifice 10 a cause most holy,
A victim of the strife.

settling a Hotel BIZ In Portugal.


In Portugal when the traveller asks
for his bill the landlord pleasantly rubs
his hands together and answers,
Whatever your excellency pleases TO
give"
This will not do. for the traveller is
sure to offer too little or too much ana
to be thought either spendthrft or a
niggard. so he has to make a speech,
thank the landlord for his confidence
and beg for a detailed statement.
Then the landlord, politely deprecat-
ing anything of the kind, is slowly per-
suaded to check off the various items
upon the fingers of his hand, with a
long argument before each successive
finger is done with and doubled down.
"What does it come to?" asks the
traveller, taking out his purse at last,
when the hand and the account are
closed
"What, did his eXcellency not add
up?"
His eXcellency having been incapable
of this act of mental arithmetic, the
addition is gone over again. from the
little finger backward, with finger or
two perhaps representing forgotten
items brought into account from the
other hand.
The sum total is gladly paid, and host
and guest are mutually content, the
guest knowing that he has not been
overcharged more than perhaps a
thumb and two fingers.
