ACTUAL CASH ON EARTH

Let Us see how much actual cash
/ there is in the pocketbooks Of various
nations and understand by comparison
how rich we really are. The total
stock of money in gold, silver and I'M
covered paper in the whole world
amounts in round figures to $4,000
100000. In the United States the to-
tai stock of money amounts to about
$4,000, 100000. Hence, we have in our
own purse one-sixth of all the cash of
the globe.
These igures-and this is a fact
which must be emphasized-do not
! represent the wealth of nations. Far
from It.. The figures represent merely
the available hard cash. Divide this
hard cash of the earth among the
inhabitants thereof and each man,
woman and child would have $40. But
divide the hard cash of the United
States among the people thereof and
each OF US would have $25. And here
IS one respect in which the people of
a foreign country would have the bet
ter of us, individually.
Were each nation to divide it's cash
among its own people each living hui
man being in France would have $35,
or Slo more than each person in our
country under similar circumstances
Meanwhile, the divided cash Of Great
britain would give each. Briton only

THE MOB SPIRIT.

And in this connection it is not

all the mObs ever assembled Whether
TRUE or not, it is universally asserted
that Afro-American criminals. fugitives
from justice, never appeal in vain for

the nature Of the crime makes no sort
OF difference. Perhaps this is only
natural. Possibly there is tinge of the

referring to the so-called taxation
their assertion is as follows:
This system, wherever applied. robs

of the land and it's products. and on the
other compels him to labor as a sert

the most part practically nothing is
being done for the good of the native

The Belgians are not the only people
who are thus maintaining slavery in

SENATOR JEFF DAVIS.

ne Northern newspapers seem to
be sorely perplexed over the election
or Jeff Davis OF Arkansas to the United
States Senate. but there is no mystery
in the matter
Years ago, Senator Clark and Jeff
conspired together to down Jones and
Berry and they both have been work
ing for that purpose day and night,
weekday and Sunday ever since.
Their main reliance was upon the
hlll-billies, as jeff was past master
in icllying them. How extremely dem.
o"ratic Jeff is may be judged from the
declaration made in one OF his speeches
that he had drank pot-liquor with the
''niggers" until you could hear it slosh.
And one OF the charges made against
him was that he had gang of Negroes
drinking and dancing with him in a
white passenger car.
The name he bore was also great
leverage among the hill-billies. No
doubt many OF them think that he is
the original Jeff Davis, or close kin to
him: and in fact he claims that the
latter is actually the case.

PHYSICIAN NAN or HUmOR

Old DR.. Chase OF Andover, VT, was
Of sterling character, but somewhat
eccentric. He sometimes had business
with a Mr.. Field of Springfield which
took them to a distance.
Once after a long drive they arrived
at the doctors home too late for the
regular dinner, but lunch for the
two was placed upon the table, Mr..
Field, OF course, expected to be asked
to share it, but the doctor, without a
word, drew up and fell to eating, soon
remarking, however: when folks see
food on the table and don't know
enough to sit up and eat, l say let
them go hungry"
Some. time afterward the two men
were again at the doctors under SINH
lar circumstances This time the doc
tor was detained outside some time
after the meal was ready. Mr.. Field,
not wishing to be caught again, drew
up to the table, and was well on with

say that his career. came very near
being nipped in the bud in small

received by the miners and cowboys,

WHERE HE NOTICED CHA NcE

In the days of Democratic strength
in New Hampshire the Patriot of Con-
cord, under the editorial heads of But
terfeld and Hill, and later William
Butterfield. was sustained by the rank
and file OF that political faction to
such degree that it's presence in the
households had been noted from gen:
Grafton to generation, and as it's read
ers in various towns visited Concord
it was regarded as sacred duty to
call upon Bill" Butterfeld. Butter

Humorous "spoonerisms."

Oxford students have lately adopted
the fad of going mountaineering at
midnight on the roofs of the college
buildings. One of these adventures
was recently caught On the roof OF the
house occupied by DR.. Spooner, from
whose funny mistakes in speaking
comes the term .Spoonerism." DR..
Spooner is, reported to have said
showing leopard when he meant to
have said flowing shepherd Already,
no doubt, he is credited with rejoicing
that, in the case OF the student who
was captured on his house, he had
"rotted him on the spool" DR.. Spooner
once made disastrous confusion of
the names OF two undergraduates Bell
and Headlam, turning these words into
Hell and .."Bedlam.' And it is said
that he once wasted hours a Green
