Ernest Randolph is political
monstrosity. But few weeks ago
he attended Prohibition conven-
ton and practically declared him
self Prohibitionist, and later he
saw newspaper man at Salem and
virtually repeated the declaration in
an interview. He did not deny that
he made such utterances at the Pro-
hibition convention as would lead
Prohibitionists to believe that he
had experienced change of heart.
Again, in this connection, it is well
remembered that two years ago in
the Democratic convention, when
his party plead with him and in
sisted that he should become one of
its standard bearers in the wilder
ness, he declined with much empha-
sis and was enraged at his party that
it should presume to place him in an
undesirable position. His utterances
were so strong along this line that
one of the older members in the con-
yention roundly denounced him for
his lack of fealtY as well as his fail
ure to appreciate party duty. In
that convention Randolph said he
did not propose to be butchered by
the people of Harrison county. He
threw it into their faces that there
was no show to win and that he did
not propose to have himself sacri-
feed for the Democratic party. But
as it CHANGED to happen two Demo-
cratic candidates were elected that
fall and that changed the attitude
Of Mr.. Randolph. The first oppor-
tunity he got he ran for office: that
Office was the mayoralty of Salem
and the office-seeking bee has been
buzzing around his ears ever since
Holden was elected clerk. The office
of prosecuting attorney was what he
had his covetous eyes on, but for
some reason the clique thought that
would be unwise, or at least it was
so frightened that it concluded Ran
dolplV must have something else, and
now they have given him the empty
honor of nomination for the legisla-
tpc.

Wonder why the News did not
tell about the raiding Of a speakeasy
at What Next Doubtless, it was
because the officers. who had been
given the necessary. papers raided
the place and brought two men to-
Jail. 1t could not chronicle that,
on one page for fear it would show
the people the falsity Of It's editorial
on the subject. 1t was not sly
enough, however, to prevent the peo-
pie from knowing all about it, as
the Telegram told them, and all who
read readily see that that TRADE they
put up was ridiculous and absurd.

Right at this time the mouthpiece of
the Democratic clique is putting up
song and dance TO get the Prohibition

Mr.. B. L. Skrivseth of this place has
been added to the steadily growing fell
lowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills have
in this part of the country.
M. skrivseth gives two reasons fer
his faith in the Great American Kidney
Cure. The first is that they cured his
wife and the second is that they cured
himeelf.
81 must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for Kidney Trouble ever knew.
My wife had Kidney Disease foi years
and she tried all kinds of medicine
nom doctors but it did not help her
any. An advertisement led her to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first box
helped her so much that she took eight
boxes more and now she is cured.
81 also took three boxes myself and
they made me feel better and stronger
in every way"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease from
Backache to Rheumatism, Dialects or
Bright's Disease.

Cost OF Louis Buttons,

Twenty thousand dollars for a drop
shaped pearl scarfpin, $4,000 for a
pearl stud, $3.50 for 4 coat fastener
formed Of a white bouton pearl with
gold bar, $3.50 for seven buttons en-
suite and SITS for 4 pair Of brilliant
sleeve links-these are a few Of the
prices realized at the recent sale in
London Of noble marquis jewelry.
But, after all, everything is compar-
ative. and the marquis gems, rare and
costly though they are, would have
been quite eclipsed by Louis XIV.'s
personal jewelry. The grand mon

tons he had positive mania. In a
single year, 1856, he squandered $780,
600 on them, and some of his pur-
chases are well worth glancing at
On Aug. 1, 1886, he bought two dia-
mond buttons for 67,966 francs and
seventy-fve diamond buttons for $780,
7O3 francs. The buttons for a single
vest cost Louis 100000. OF the 354
"boutonnieres" used 1852 contained five
diamonds each, while the remainder
were single diamonds. In all, the
great monarque" is said to have spent
$5,OOO,OOO on buttons alone.

A Sioux Indian Custou

Among the Sioux Indians a common
custom exists. When one family bor-
rows a kettle from another, it Is ex-
pected when the kettle is returned a
small portion Of the food that has been
cooked in it will be left in the bottom.
Should this custom be disregarded by
anyone, that person would never be
able to borrow again. as the owner
must always know what has been
cooked in her kettle. A white woman
on one occasion returned q secured
kettle, intending to teach 4 lesson in
cleanliness, but her act became the
talk of the camp, as fresh example
Of the meanness of the whites.

The Busy Day.

The editor sat at his big oak desk,
His manner was far from gay;
Whenever a caller would show his head
No word of welcome the editor said;
He'd point to a sign which plainly read:
"This, friend, is my busy day."
A measly fly kept buzzing about;
He thought that the place was fine;
The scribe would drive the torment
away,
But back it would come all fresh for the
fray,
And buzz in his ear: 'This Is your busy
day2
Wen, say! 1t Is also mine"

The commissary soon made his appear

dressed in black, slightly relieved by a
crumpled collar. The banker, scarcely
bowing, said:
Doubtless, monsieur, you have been

which compels me to have recourse to

terious robbery has been committed in

there, of which my cashier alone pos

Excuse me, monsieur" said the cash
Ter to the commissary, in a low tone.
"My chief also has the word and the
key"
The commissary at once drew his own
conclusions. These two men accused
each other. From their own statements,
one or the other was guilty.

In Paris in the revolution of 1880 a
law student was soundly kicked by one
Of the kings officers for tearing down
a copy OF the ordinances placarded on
the wall. The officer was armed, the
student was not; so the latter ran
away. Nearly half century later, in
1879, the officer called upon the stu
dent to lid him goodby, having just
resigned the presidency of the French
republic on account of a radical differ
ence with the majority of the national
assembly on questions of state policy.
He combined With his adieus also a
graceful word of congratulation on
the students election to succeed him in

was Jules Grevy; the officer was Pa

Books are no substitute for talk.
They come out of talk and go back into
talk. We doubt if reading alone ever
made "a full man." It has been said
that, reading is thinking with some one
else's head, but talking is thinking-if
we may borrow smile from the motor
car-with two head power. AS book
worm is to the man ofathe world, so is
the silent thinker to tie talking think
er. The man who does not talk is
stranger upon earth. He does not know
his fellows, and they do not know him,
and those we do not know we cannot
greatly like Little do men perceive
what solitude is and how far it extend
eth. for crowd is not company, and
faces are but gallery of pictures and
talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there
is no love-" Yet man may do heroic
deeds and never talk at all in our sense
OF the word, and he may be learned
man and never express an opinion on
any subject of the first consequence.
All the same. we agree with Bacon
that, inasmuch as he is shut up in him
self. "closeness doth impair and little
perish his understanding" = London
Spectator.
