Had His Goats In as Guests.

w. Z. D. Stokes has son whuse
initials are the same as his fathers,
though everybody around the Ansonia
calls him "Waddy." The other day
Waddy had party for his little
friends and he insisted that his team
of goats should be brought in from
the Stakes country place to share in
the festivities.
AS Waddy generally has his own
way the goats were brought into town,
a room on the seventeenth floor be-
ing converted into stable for them
for the time being.
When the day of the party arrived
the goats took silent part in the
pleasures of the afternoon, looking on
in that particularly wise manner
which is the way of goats. When
the party came to an end each of the
little guests received a real canary
in a brass cage to take home as a
souvenir.
One of the boys who got canary CT
fered to trade it with Waddy for a
goat.
Not on your life," said Waddy.-

A Cool One.

Judge George Gray of Wilmington.
Del, was praising one day the quality
of GOODNESS.
"My father" he said, fused to cite.
in discussing this quality, an argl.
ment that he heard between two of
the leading statesmen of the South.
"These statesmen sat opposite each
other at banquet in Washington
where a number of ladies were pres
ent, and an argument arose between
them over the question of slavery.
'They talked long time, and final
ly one of them became enraged. He
uttered an oath, and. taking up u
glass of wine. he threw it full in his
opponents face.
1.-THE other wiped the wine away
quickly with his napkin.
That he said, smiling, was a di-
gression. Now to resume the argu-
ment.' And he went on talking calm
ly, and thus the ladies were spared a
disgraceful scene."

creeps on the unsuspecting prey. How

tells us that the rabbit has been eaten

 In his wanton vituperation of the memories of successive Presidents, from Jefferson to Buchanan, the bump tious occupant of the White House has undertaken to stigmatize Andrew Jackson as a mere "figurehead;" :" as one whom Tow politicians nodded to their will,' and whose Administration cor rupted the public service in every way These abusive eptthets have been scat tered rather pfofusely In so-called histories" bearing the name of Theo- dore Roosevelt on the title page. The fame of Andrew Jackson, which be- longs to the glory of the country, needs no defense at this time of day; but his administration when thus challenged affords an example as we'll as a con trast with what the American people now endure.
 As to the infamous charge that Pres ident Jackson. the man of iron firmness who slew many dragon of corruption. was moided to the will of low pollti- clans. his administrative acts afford sufficient refutation. Among the How politicians who molded him were such statesmen as Martin Van Buren, Ed ward Livingston. Louis McLane. Roger B. Fancy, Levi Woodbury. Lewis Cass. B. F. Butler.

SENSIBLE WAY TO CURE CATARRH
Hyomei Medicates Air You Breathe
 and Kills All Catarrhal Germs Costs Nothing Unless It Cures.

Do not take medicines into the ston- ach to kill catarrhal germs in the head and throat Air alone can reach these germs. Medicated with Hyomei and breathed through the neat inhaler that comes with every outfit, the air goes to the most remote air cells of the head. throat and lungs, and completely destroys the disease germs. Hyomel Is the only sensible, yet scientific way to cure ca- tarrh. Other remedies may fall; Hyomei will cure.
 It helps at once. and you get the vital izing and invigorating effects from the first few breaths of Hyomei. If it should happen that Hyomei did not give you the same good effects that 1t has in many other cases right here at home Mir E. C. Fowler will refund your money without question or argument. You will be the sole judge as to whether Hyomei costs you a penny or not
 The complete outfit, consisting of d medicine dropper and inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest pocket and a bottle of Hyomei sells for only one dollar. The inhaler will last a lifetime, and extra bottles of Hyomei can be ob- tained, if needed, for fifty cents.
 When you get a Hyomei outfit. Mir. Fowler will give you a signed receipt. agreeing to refund the money Tn case 1t does not cure catarrh and other diseases of the respiratory organs This Is the strongest evidence that he can offer as to his faith in Hyomei-to pay for 1t hin- self ln case 1t does not cure.

wrote a eulogistic biography before he found what he deemed a more popular line in protective spoilation. As An drew' Jackson's s great public acts, in- cluding his overthrow of the United States Bank, were performed in con sultatioD with some of the abiest men Of the nation, so were they most heart fly approved by the people.
 But Andrew Jackson has been ac- cused by the dilettante of Civil Service Reform in the White House of having way by introducing the spells system This is as false as most of the other charges against "Old Hickory" It fs true enough that Jackson removed office, and he would not have been jus tihed in retaining them. But In an epoch when civil service laws had no existence the administration of Andrew Jackson was far more free from the spells system than is that of the ac- cidental President who has, claimed a monopoly of the cause of political re- form. As to the character of Jackson that has often been related will well bear repetition:
 When Jackson became President Gem eral stephen Van Renssel.aer. a violent opponent, was postmaster sst Albany, and repeated efforts were made in vain 10 secure his removal. Finally depu- tation went to Washington to make a supreme shcor,, e snort As the interview was

 Contrast that with the removal of Huldah B.

When was Jackson eyer accused of appointing a mere fa- vorite over meritorlous officers to the highest rank in the army, or of insult ing veteran like General Miles?
