All n Matter of Doubt Anyway.

\ young man from the south who a
few years ago was so fortunate as to
be enabled to enter the law Offices of
well known New York firm was first
intrusted with Il very simple case. He
was asked by the late James c. Carter,
then member of the firm, 20 give an
opinion in writing. When this was
submitted it was observed by Mr.. Car
ter that, with the touching confidence
of a neophyte the young southerner
had begun with the expression, Il am
clearly of opinion
When this caught his eye he smiled
and said:
MY dear young friend, never state
that you are clearly of opinion on a
law point. The most you can hope to
discover is the preponderance of the
doubt"-SuccesS.

Pittsburg. May 3O.-The political
discord which has prevailed in almost
every section of Pennsylvania during
the past year or more has forced the
Republican leaders of the state to
stop, look and listen" and it is now
apparent that further confusion in the
party's affairs is TO be avoided by the
people coming wholly and entirely
into their own With the Republican
state convention but a week away It
is most pleasing to the voters to
realize that no slate has been made
for the coming convention and that no
slate Is likely to be made which does
not come direct from the people. The
party lash has gone out of fashion and
the voice of the political boss is no
longer heard The right to slate or
name candidates for public places, al
ways inherent in the people, Is now
being recognized more than In years
and the belief is general that at the
coming convention of the Republicans
of the state the voice of the people
will be heard in no uncertain way
and that the candidates for governor
and other state places will be chosen
at the Harrisburg convention next
week by the duly elected delegates to
that important gathering. The bosses
of former days have wisely deter
mined to stand aside in the interest
Of party harmony and graciously yield
to the nomination of a state ticket
which will restore harmony to the
grand old party and which will pro-
mote the success OF that party which
in the past has made substantially for
he advancement of every material
interest in this state and this nation.
To the people it must be pleasing
to realize that just now when party
harmony most needs consideration
the Republicans of the state are turn
ing with hope and confidence to Josiah
Van Kirk Thompson, the banker, phil
anthropist and advance agent OF pros
parity.

Wehster Beaten by a Womnn.

In the somewhat famous case of
Mrs. Bodgen's will, which was tried In
the supreme court many years ago,
Daniel Webster appeared as counselor
for the appellant. Mrs. Greenough,
wife of the Rev. William Greenough of
West Newton, was a very self pos
sessed witness. Notwithstanding Mr..
Webster's repeated efforts to discon-
cert her she pursued the even tenor of
her way until Webster, becoming quite
fearful of the result, arose, apparently
in great agitation, and, drawing out
his large slrUffbox. thrust his thumb
and finger to the very bottom and, car
rying a deep pinch to both nostrils,
drew it up with gusto, and then. eX-
tracing from his pocket very large
handkerchief, he blew his nose with a
report that rang distinct and loud

BENJAMIN W. GREEN,
Whose Key UnlocIsed the Drawers

Here Is true story told by a doctor
This doctor had patient, q brother
physician, who was i'll of a disease no
one has ever cured yet. The sick man
realized that his case was hopeless,
and he knew. too, that before he died
he would go through horrible convul-
slons. He begged his friend to kill
him in order to spare his wife the
sight of anything so unfOrgettably hid
eous, and the physician, bound by his
code of ethics, refused. The sick man
begged his wife to let him have his re-
volver, but she refused. The physi-
clan locked the drawer of the bureau
in which it lay and gave the wife the
key. Two days later the sick man
shot himself. and the revolver he used
was his own. He had unlocked the
drawer.
1--WE found the key in it," said the
doctor. 1T was not the one | had
given to the wife. | took it, and when
1 had chance | went quietly into the
room occupied by the mans mother.
The key exactly fitted the lock of her
bureau That's all | know, except that
the mother came out of the house with
her bonnet and cloak on two minutes
before her son shot himself."-Wash-

A speaker at Methodist conference
told this story, which, he said, was re
lated to him by Bishop HartZell: The
bishop, while on Il southern tour, met
a darky who was the father of sixteen
children, the youngest of whom was
scarcely out of arms, and on asking
him what the youngsters name was
received this reply, Judas 'Scariot,
sah.' You don't mean to tell me that
that is really his baptismal name. do
you" asked the bishop. Indeed, l do,
sab. Amt dat a Script'ral name? Yes
but do you know who Judas Iscariot
was? Course l does, sab; but doan
de Scripture say it would have been
better for Judas 'Scariot if he had new
er been bornedY Yes; but what has
that to do with this poor little chapT
Oats jest it, sah dat's jest it. 1t
would have been better for dis poor
little chap if he had never been borned,

Trouble For Government Clerks.

Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks"
said veteran employee, but the
years ago. A certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency to tell
him how much stock certain man
had in a national bank. He was in
formed that such Information was re-
garded as confidential and could not be
given out"
We'll see about that said the sen
ator. who was plainly disappointed and
displeaSed.
Several days later he secured the
passage of resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury to furnish
the senate with the names and holdings
of the stockholders in all the national
banks in the country. He really want
@h TO know only the interest of one
man in a bank, but he knew that he
couldn't get resolution of that kind
through the senate. so he included the
stockholders in all national banks. 1t
took the entire force of the comptrol-
lcr's office several weeks to prepare the
information, and when 1t reached the
senate nobody paid any attention to it
except the author of the resolution, and
he merely looked ut the mass of papers
only long enough to see about the man
he was after and then tossed the pa
pers aside. It was an immense lot of
work for nothing. Washington Star.

GOOD SEED CORN.
Some Of the Important Points by
Which II May Be Known.

Some OF the more important OBJ
servations to be made I'm the selection
of seeds are: Yield, quality, uniform.
ity, hardness, time of ripening. free
dom from attacks of smut and rust
and, In the case of small grain. the
stiffness of the straw.
The corn crop requires, perhaps, as
great care In the selection as any
other, and merits special attention,
says the Prairie Farmer. The rapid
Improvement that has been made In
this crop, combined with the readi.
ness with which the different varieties
cross and mix, renders II extremely
subject to variation. Constant care
is necessary in order to establish the
desirable qualities that are brought
out In these variations and to more
thoroughly eradicate those not desir.
able.
Some OF the points to be observed
In the selection OF seed corn are:
/. The size and shape OF ear; ear
should approach as nearly as may be
uniform diameter from end TO
end.
2. Size and quality OF cob, a me-
dium sized cob being much better
than large, spongy one.
3. Depth OF grain.
4. Shape Of grain; grains should
carry their wedge shape uniformly to
the end, so that the ear may present
as nearly as possible solid surface.
5. Covering Of cob; cob should be
as completely and evenly covered as
possible at both ends.
6. Hardness of grain, too hard and
flinty a grain not being readily mas
ticated and digested. A hard grain.
also, is more liable to be a shallow
one.
Z. Grains OF even, uniform size and
similar shape, to make possible uni
formity OF planting.
s. Color of grain, purity of color
indicating purity of the corn.
