Last of War Governors.

Frederick Holbrook of Vermont. who

war governors" now surviving. He
stood with Cows. Curtin of Pennsyl-

as one of the stanchest supporters of
the Lincoln administration when it
most needed such support as they
could give. Among the beneficent in
stitutions for which the nation is in

were the military hospital established
at Brattleboro during the civil war,
where from 1900 to 1000 soldiers
were cared for at once. and the ma
tional bureau of agriculture. The ex-
governor was choirmaster in the Brat
tleboro Congregational church for
forty years.

Lauahter Aids Digestion.

Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or

and digestion--between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best

melancholia. its worst enemy. Numer.
Gus experiments have shown that
mirth and cheerfulness stimulate the
secretion of the gastric Juices. and are
powerful aids 10 digestion. Yet, know.
ing this, many of us sit as gloomy and
absorbed at the table as at a funeral
In many homes, scarcely word Is
spoken at meals, outside of requests
for an article OF food

Small WAGES In eermanx.

Most Americans will be astonished
to learn what pitifully small wages
are earned by the large German class
known as heimarbeiter, or home work
ers. 1t includes men, women, and not
less than 100000 children, some of
them only three years old. Nearly all
the German toys are made by them.
For sixty wooden soldiers. on which
an adult and three children work
thirty hours. about twenty-nine cents
is paid. Colored masks bring half a
cent an hour for an adult and two
cents an hour for an entire family.
The wages paid the makers of musical
instruments are but little better. Two
men and one woman can earn only
s4.56 for 1872 hours work at making
harmonious. Violin makers receive
$3.50 for seventy hours work.-Cleve-

magnate, magazine writer has this
to say of his subject: Big, gaunt.
square jawed. grim. a toiler from
youth, a maker of his own way, a
fighter of his own battles. grizzled by
years of fierce combat with the most
merciless set of foes on earth. clear
and cold-vsaged. niggard of speech, a
compeller of men. His eyes. level
and cold, and an almost phenomenal
power of mental concentration upon
the matter in hand. are all that could
give ground for any notion of a
hypnotic suggestion in the man. In
manner he is smooth and dignified, in
speech he is deliberate and straight
forward, positive and, above all,
economical"

WILDCAT HAD susy NIGHT.
Cleared Out Henhouse and Was Wait-

Henry Carlon. who resides twenty
dve miles up Crooked river. had sew
enty-five pure bloodod chickens in his
henhouse recently. One night not
long ago he heard his dog barking at
some length. but as a high wind was
blowing he thought the dog was dis
turbed on that account and did not go
out to ascertain the cause.
Next morning he arose about 5
O'Clock, and on going out found his
dog sitting quietly by the broken
glass window of the henhouse. He
thought this action peculiar and open
ed the henhouse door. when a huge
wildcat leaped at his breast and hurl.
ed him to the ground Mr.. Carbon
gathered himself together and made
for the house. where he got his gun
and returned to the fray. to find the
big cat serenely awaiting him. One
shot dispatched the varmint.
On taking look at the henhouse
Mr.. Carlon was confronted by a pile
OF dead chickens which the cat had
killed and heaped up. Every one of
the seveuty-fve choice fowls had been
killed and placed in the heap.-Pine-

of the sights he wanted to see were
Senators Foraker and Dick, but one
of these gentlemen was absent and
the other too busy. The doorkeeper
informed Bud that he would call out
Senator Clarks secretary, George
Gilliland, an Ohio man. Bud was de-
lighted, he and Mr. Gilliland. having
been schoolmates. AS they stood
chatting over old times Bud was in
troduced to one or two senators who
passed by. Then Vice President Fair
banks came along and Mr.. Gilliland
said: Mr. Vice President. let me
introduce Bud Keifer of Ohio" The

grasped it briskly and said; Glad to
