One a Minute.

After all the world does not adj

appear thai , ople are just as they
were ten or CIV n twenty years age.
After a time II ey learn the troms OF
the old swindles, but all ore has todo
in order to rop; in new victims is to
change disappearance Of his rascality
and the rest is easy.
1t is related that Miss s)Iri stock
man was lrawlng $4,000 out of a
bank to purchas g two "gold'' disks
worth $37 900 when the cashier be-
came suspicious, began to ask ques-
thousand finally learned enough to
keep the siocknan from payins over
his money until ihe deal could be
Investigated
1t was the same old gold brick
ruse. The only change was in the
shape of the merchandise, the gold
was in the form of disks to be sure,
but still it was the gold brick
swlndle, and if the intended vic
tim had not been a lucky person
he would have been $4,000 short
with nothing to show for his eXpen-
diture but lot of copper alloy.

He Bought the Factory.

Because he was told that one
factory could not supply the bronze
work for his palace now being erect
ed in New York Senator Clark of
Montana bought the plant, "lock,
stock and barrel" Now he is going
to run the factory himself and will
have his house finished according to
schedule time or make serious error
IN his calculations. Senator Clark
could have purchased a pipe plant
to manufacture his plum mbing neces-
saries just as easily as ne bought the
bronze works. 1t is such privileges
as these that make the life of an
American millionaire worth living.

JEFFRIEs QUITS RING.
He Leaves Robert FitzsimmOns
the Worlds Champion. He
Says Lanky Bob is the
One to Defend the
Title Now.


The unheaten Monarch of Wallop-
vile has abdicated. King jeff has
removed pugdom's crown from his
massive noodle and passed it over to
Bob Fitzsimmons, from whom he
won it over six years ago. With the
passing of the giant Californian there
is no real champion in the world of
scrap to-day, although Fitzsimmons
deserves the honor and the Austral-
ian will be heIalded as champion
until he is beaten in battle for the
title.
Jeffries literally fought himself
out of a job. Sullivan was forced in
to retirement alter his New Orleans
downfall in '92, but Jeffries leaves
unbeaten and there is no one even
to be classed with him. Corbett
trimmed sullivan, Ruby Robert
took the measure of Gentleman Jim
and the massive Westerner annexed
Fitzsimmons' scalp. Fitzslmmo1s
will doubtless take on all corners for
the championship after his theatrical
engagements have closed in Juue.

Dear Sirs: Here's a sample: how
Devoe upsets things.
LittlestoWn, Pa, was chesp-paint
town up to a year ago, when Messrs.
Basehoar & Mehring took our agency.
They send us the names ofthe painters
now painting Devoe:
A G Bollinger, A VIM Unger,
Joshua Beihl, EdW L Kellenberger,
John F Kellenberger, J B McSherry,
John g Frey, q G Lawrence, Charles
Steich, T. G March
and forty names of property-owners
painting Dsvoe; and everyone of the
painters tells why he paints Devoe.
They are not mistaken; Devoe is
the cheapest paint in the world-so
far as we know the world and paint.
If painters everywhere knew it,
they'd paint it, every man of 'em.
Yours truly,

There is more sickness than usual

A woman gossip is bad enough, but a

Some people never do anything but turn

The average man hates to write a letter

GOVERNOR HANLY.

Governor Hanly of Indiana is anoth-
er high minded man who is doing much
to lift the nations thought up to a
higher level. I have talked with men
who know Governor Hanly well and
invariably they tell me that the secret
of his strength as a political leader is
due to the fact that he practices in
every day life what he breaches. He
is consistent. He is big enough to &C
knowledge a mistake. Did you ever no
tice that big man is always willing
to acknowledge a mistake while a small
man always tries to crawl out of it?'
Governor Hanly is big hearted and big
minded. He is sincere. That is what
counts. For after all. one of the sweet
est flowers Athat buds and blossoms in
human life is the flower of sincerity.
Governor F5anly is a Christian gentle
man, a friend of the home, the church
and the state. He believes in the boy
and the girl, in the young man and the
young woman. and in all those agencies
that tend to make the world brighter
and better. He is a man of large abili-
ty and is rapidly developing into a
statesman who must be reckoned with
in the affairs of the nation.-Frank Mel
son.

No man ever became great by wait

the difference between Hoch and Folk.
Folk went to st. Louis and saw the
saloons open, and the next day went
home and issued his order for them
to close. Some of the oId-timers
openly defied him. He sent oficers
down to see that they closed, and left
word that if they didn't he would have

he thought about the matter, and
