WHY PenSy Was Short.

We cease to wonder that Pennsyl-
vania was caught short on honest Of
fceholders afte reading the follow
ing prayer by the chaplain Of the
Pennsylvania House.
81 thank Thee. o Lord, for the SUI
perb, %brotherly, manly, magnanlmous
address of the honored speakeraof the
house which has kindled the fires
of patriotism in my heart. And now,
o Lord, help these men, for they are
all reformers, to get down to work,
for the man who refuses to indorse
the acts of reform will be consigned
to political oblivion next November.
May these reformers be blessed, and
may every man who stands by reform
be returned to the legislature"
The reVeend gentleman's accom-
odating spirit in imparting to the
Most High the information that "the
man who refuses to endorse the acts
of reform will be consigned to political
oblivion next November is admirable.
Seriously, this chaplain's deliverance
convinces us that while the party or
g~anization in Pennsylvania may en-
brace all the thieves the reform ele-
ment is not shy on fools.-Salisbury

bartal Of my a%lleviator md leave IL to
him as to whether he felt better or not
and should pay for the same. I felt
that l was making a favorable impress
sion on the crowd when the mayor ap-
peared and crooked his finger.
\ to what?" says l.
A to my three dozen bottles free. IL
your alleviator is a good thing, you'll
fet tumultuous applause; If it's a bad
tang, you'll get the bounce. Hand
over"
After him came the sheriff. the alder
men and the town clerk, and I counted
~ to find s~eventy-seven bottles gone.
Then the people around me said they
guessed they'd wait for reports before
investing. and it required all my philos-
ophy and natural blandness TO prevent
my bet-aying the disappointment surg
ing through my soul However, after
retiring TO the hall and taking a liberal
dose of my own medicine my spirits
came stealing back. and by the time I
was ready to open the show | was my
self again. The deadhead tickets had
been scattered around with liberal
hand, and not a ent was taken in at
the door in the way of admission. On
the other hand. however, I thought /
could see that the people were ready to
render me the tumultuOus applause re-
ferTed to by the mayor. and hope held a
place in my heart. Even when an ac-
tors salary is four weeks behind he is
gratifed to hear the people yell. I pre-
scented the moving pictures as follows,
with results as recorded:
Washington crossing the Delaware by
boat. Some Of the audience wanted to
know why he didn't cross on a bridge.
A meeting between a coal baron and
a railroad president, with the earth at
their right. Earth doesn't amount to
shucks in comparison. Received with
yells, but hard to say what the yells
signifed.
