Caleb Cavalier, down near Lower
Bank, has the finestcrop Of pumpkins
In these parts. In fact he has SO
many Of them that every time be
looked down the field it made him
shiver at the thought OF harvesting
them. Every time be sat down to a
meal his wife, Mary, would cay:
''Caleb, when'r you going to bring
in them pun kips?"
Poor Caleb worried and worried
and the pump kins got more and
more y,llow. IL got so bad with
Cali b he would turn over In his sleep
and talked about pumpkins. Last
night when ever, thing was quiet
Caleb got up.
"What you going to do, Caleb?"
asked the wife.

Mary Cavalier said nothing but just
waited. Out OF the window she saw
Caleb 60 to the, barn, get out Dobbin
and Jennie, hitch them up to the
lumber wagon and start off across
the field in the dark, and pretty
soon, when Mary was thinking oil
going to look for him, along came
Caleb in the wagon, and the wagon
was just bursting with pumpkins.
"Land sskes! Caleb must be asleep
or crazy" cried the astonished wife,
He didn't say anything to his wife,
and she didn't disturb him.
Caleb was a little late rising this
morning, and when he looked out OF
the window and saw the pile OF
pumpkins he called:
"Mary, Mary, come hero quick
Some ones harvested all the punkins

"Caleb, you carted in all them

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
in a speech. made recently before
Tammany Hall, characterized the dis.
ference between Democracy and he.
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are party Of principle
They follow principle and value l,
more than profit. Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have DIFF
fered about the Philippines. about the
tariff, the gold question, about Cuba.
about every single question which has
come before the public. but their diff
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance of getting posses
sion of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo-
Gratis, on the other side. have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, In
fact. is a faith, and Repubhcanism is
an appetite"
