Can anybody tell if Lynn
Is where they train the limit?
Or why an angle worm has not
A single angle in it?

And, while you are about it, say,
What is the reason why,
May apples do not come in May,
Or June bugs till in July?
Chicago Times.
Or why the daisies are not dazed
When the rain falls from the sky?
And piebald horses are not raised
BY eating piebald pie?
Brooklyn Eagle.
Then tell us why dogwood bark
Is but catnip tea,
And why a man is on lark,
When he is all at sea.
Buffalo Commercial.
Another thing pray tell us,
IT you are up on tricks,
Does a cur become a watchdog
When he gets full of ticks.

Why is it that a sober man
May see dragon fly,
And yet to see one swim or crawl
He must be full of rye?
Or why is it blackberry
Is red when it is green?
Or how can we feel out of sight
When we know we're plainly seen?
Ex-Governor Crane of Massachusetts
related this convention story to cou.
pie of friends not long ago. The story
was told to him, he said, by an ac-
quaintance VINO was in St. Louis at the
time of the democratic national con
vention there:
"The incident in the story" said the
governor, occurred at democratic
meeting for workingmen in small
hall some distance from where the
democratic convention was being held
The story as it was told to me went
as nearly as can repeat it, like this:
Fellow citizens said the orator OF
the meeting passionately, as he
brought his fist down with a bang on
the table, what, I ask are the republi-
cans bringing our country to? And
echo answers, WHAT"

ing, said the man in the audience, as
he sat down."

WHO CHNWOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over third of q century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a rec
ord such as no other remedy for the dis
eases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors and max
ers of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
now feel fully warranted in offering to
pay $500 in legal money of the United
States for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe-
male Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All
they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of
their mems of cure.
WHEN LOVE INVITES
The woman follows the man of her
choice though the path leads out of
Eden into a world untrodden and un-
tried. What is her reward? Many a
time when her health is broken by the
burdens she has borne for the mans
sake, her reward is to see him turn from
her to seek roster cheeks and brighter
eyes. 1t is mans nature to crave beauty
in the wife as In the maid. And what
woman is there, who would not be hap
py to keep her maiden bloom when
motherhood has crowned her wifely
happiness? Some women seem to have
found this secret of perpetual youth.

In regard TO the settlement Of the
senatorial question the South Bend
Tribune has the following to say:
1.-The speedy settlement Of the con-
test for U. S. senator In this state Is
the gratifying result Of good, clean
politics In which this congressional
district played more important part
than other portions OF the state may
be willing to acknowledge. This
early understanding precludes the
posi- bility of long and useless fight
in the general assembly and permits
the legislators to Immediately dispose
of an important matter which with a
contest might have occupied much
time that should be given to other
things"
The meeting held in this city a
short time ago was the turning point
in this issue and the firm stand TAX
en- by Senator Parks of this county TO-
gether with that of Representative
+Shiyely. who foresaw the effects of the
action to be taken and insisted upon
and forced an adjournment Without
indorsing any candidate, proved not
only the wisdom of these men. but
their courage to stand up for what
they believed to be for the best in
terests of the party, not only in this
district but In the state, is worthy of
emulation. Not only is the repubii-
can party to be congratulated on the
happy conclusion OF this great ques-
tIon, which is practically concluded.
but the great state of Indiana, should
be proud of the fact that the repub

questions in way that meets the ap-
