removing governor inspectors
from the work being done at the
Charleston Navy Yard. The
Pittsburg Dispatch, republican
paper, explains: "The inspec-
tors did not meet the approval
of the contractors, and according
to testimony in the hands of the
secretary it was decided to have
them removed through political
influence. The necessary pull
was evidently found, for the in
spectors were sent to another
point. This attracted the atten-
ton of the people of Charleston,
who protested to Secretary Nor
ton. Nothing was done, but in
short time Mr.. Morton left the
public service and Secretary
Bonaparte was installed. In
spite of the mass of detail he was
compelled to master he saw the
necessity of the riding inspection
of public work, and taking VI
the Charleston matter sooi
reached conclusion, restoring
the inspectors"

Public is Aroused.

The public is aroused to a
knowledge of the curative merits
of that great medicinal tonic,
Electric Bitters, for sick stomach,
liver and kidneys. Mary H.
Walters, of 5G4 St. Clair Ave-,
Columbus, o., writes: "For sew
eral months, was given up to die.
| had fever and ague, my nerves
were wrecked; could not sleep,
and my stomach was so weak,
from useless doctors drugs, that
| could not eat. Soon after be-
ginning to take Electric Bitters, |
obtained relief, and in a short
time l was entirely cured"

Pastor as a Blacksmith.

Finding that preaching does
not provide a sufficient income
for the proper support of his
family, Rev. M. E. Bachman, of
Millersville, Pa, a United Breth-
rem minister, has resumed his
old trade of blacksmithing, and
works at it while not engaged
in his regular ministerial duties.
He believes that a good black
smith has a larger income than
great many preachers, and he
has verified his belief by his own
experience.
Mr.. Bachman is an expert in
the dressing of edge tools, and
when he was confronted with
the necessity of providing more
means for his family he decided
to offer his services to the con-
tractors who are constructing
the new Pennsylvania railroad
through the southern Lancaster
county.
"When they found that |
could dress their 20-foot tools
they gave me job at once,"
said he" and at the wages they
offered me can easily make
$40 a week. Expert tool dress
ers are hard to find; and the con-
tractors, am sure, would sooner
pay me four dollars a day than
let me go.
Before | began to preach,n
said Mr.. Bachman, 81 was a
blacksmith, the son of black
smith, and | know what black
smith can earn. | have II
mouths to feed in my family,
and | was obliged to change my
occupation because | can't feed
III people and send my children
to school on preachers pay"

The Preachers Boy.

go, he's a preachers son!"
Ever heard it? If Tom Jones,
the son of the village banker
gets gay and raises a little rue
ton, the villagers smile, nod
their heads knowingly and say:
90, he's so full of boyish
spirits.
But if Billy Smith, the son of
the village preacher, does some
thing similar, those same know
ing villagers shake their heads
sadly and say:
"He'll surely come to some
bad end"
And the preachers boy start
ed out III life with q handicap,
has to do the very best he can-
yet he usually manages to get
along about as we'll as the best
of them. People seem to think
that because he is a preachers
son he ought to do better than
other boys, though those same
people never can explain why
they should not expect as much
of the bankers son, or the black
smiths son or the postmaster's
son. They seem to imagine that
the preachers son should be an
angle without wings; that he
should never smile, play ball, go
fishing, play tricks or act like
| other boys.
Let the sons of the banker,
blacksmith, postmaster and the
preacher get into trouble at
school on account of some boy
ish mischief, and the sons of the
banker, blacksmith and post
master are excused on the ground
that "boys will be boys" but the
preachers boy is surely headed
for the penitentiary.
Why should people expect so
much more of the son of the
preacher? Is there any reason
why preachers boys should be
better than your boys? Why
not give the preachers boy the
benefit of the excuses you make
for the boys of professional men
generally?
No matter how staid, indus
trious and exemplary a man may
be, let him be in a crowd and
incidentally mention that his fa-
Their was minister, and imme-
diately some alleged humorist
will rise up and exclaim:
"Well, that explains in all
never knew a preachers son that
wasn't a bad one," etc, etc.
Then everybody laughs, mods
wisely and acts as if the preach
er's son were an outcast. Oh
course they may mean it all in
fun, but it hurts, just the same

UNCLE TOMS CHAT.

Well, Ollie Hargus, you are as
bright as a new silver dollar and
am SO glad you wrote about your
Texas home and those dreadful
Indians. Oh, / wouldn't 90
among them any more. Wasn't |
you afraid of them. Ollie, you
must stay away from those ''In-
jun" gatherings. No difference
how well they cook, lest they
stew you as fricassee to serve
with their desert. And those
dew berries, ! wish ! had plate
full now. This old moss grown
town and COW pasture with its
chiggers and seed ticks is any
thing but pleasant. This hot
and sultry weather and as to fun,
there is none whatever. I've
tried to preach socialism for a
change and now lay everything
down and say, fight you devils
forever, for what | care. Some
gets sassy and talk back a little,
but they're afraid to say whole
heap, knowing that your Uncle
Tom hasn't the patience of
Job. Well, doctor we generally
accuse women of being the most
foolish things on earth because
she went in grocery store and
ordered her husband and three
children to be sent to her resi-
dence, she being an old maid,
but she was not half so foolish as
we men are and most especially
of Tracy City. Women don't
believe all they hear, but we
men do and we are eternally try
ing to injure or boycott somebody
whose little fingers are worth
our whole body and then try to
play innocent of any crime.
Most any woman has some con-
fidenee in her husband, but they
don't like him to be too quiet.
Our men folks are getting to be
excellent politicians of late.
They crawl out of everything
they are guilty of. Our women
are hustlers and they are turning
things topsy turvy, getting all
the nice jobs such as clerks, tele-
phone operators, type settlers and
stenographers, etc. These girls
get good salary and put it all
on themselves, while if they were
men they would feed and clothe
two instead of5i es4en , we
men had as well own up that we
are u sort of failure and we had
as well assume the duties of
washing dishes, making up the
beds and nursing babies while
our women folks goes out to
make the living. We men do
have hard time of it trying to
be equal with one another
and the larger part of our Dor
rowed doctrines are false.
