The Dream of the congressman's
Daughter.

One blustery day in late autumn
strobe up and down the platform of Z
country station, awaiting the train
which was to carry me back to Wash
ington. Aside from colored woman
with two wide-eyed pickanninnies in
tow, and the ticket agent, who blew
on his fingers before checking my
trunk, the place was deserted, and
had concluded that the Brick Dust
Twins, their mother, and l were to be
the only passengers, when suddenly
the little station overfoWed with an
excited. cheering crowd.
What's this?" I asked of the tic.
ket agent. "A wedding?"

the ticket agent, and added with pub

And she was SO pretty in her apple
blossom way; so ingenious in her
promises to write every week to every
body and give them all the news: so
naive in her belief that she would soon
be kissing the presidents daughter
and calling her Alice, that I had not
the heart to dampen the ticket
agents enthusiasm. But aside from an
occasional White House reception and
such social intercourse as the ladies'
Of the congressional set provide for
Themselves, this daughter of the new
congressman was destined to be more
lonely at Washington, as one of a
great many, than in her home town,
where she was one of few. Her chief
glories were to consist in sitting in a
close gallery while Pa addressed the
emptylng mouse, and in always being
sure OF white meat when the boarding
house mistress carved the rubbery

I 1t is true that General Grants army

Thousands of General Lees men, in

became men of peace.
Other thousands of them, many
thousands, dropped out of line and

Nuggets from Success Magazine.

Genius is inspiration Talent is per-

Do not measure your enjoyment by
the amount of money spent in produc-
ing it.
Education turns the wild sweetbrier
into the queenly rose.
A vigorous initiative and strong self
faith make up the man of power.
Be sure that the honors you are
striving for are not really dishonors.
What men get and do not earn is
often a curse instead of blessing.
You can purchase a mans labor, but
you've got to cultivate his good will
Ignorance itself is a disease, the
deepest, most treacherous and damn

Worry poisons the mind just as
much as a deadly drug would poison
the body, and just as surely.
While you stand celebrating which

boy has read both.

When the pearl fishing craze

to find pearls and build houses and,

About three weeks ago he took HIS
wife and son for a skiff ride up the
Wabash river, and when they had
proceeded about a mile up the river
they aiighted at pearl camp Aftex
watching the fishers for little while
Rusie saw how they opened the mus
sci shells and how they managed to
detect the elusive gems. Then he
went down to the mussel banks and
saw how the men dived and shoveIeda
for the shells. He and his family wens
on to another bank that was not DC

Use of Cocaine Among Neqroes.

In the american Magazine Ray Stan
nard Baker goes on reporting the facts
about negroes III the south. Here is
one point of interest: The white
landlord who really tries to treat his
negroes well, often has a hard tine
of it. Many of those he deals with are
densely ignorant, irresponsible, indo-
lent,-and often rendered more care
less from knowing that the white man
must have labor. Many of them will
not keep up the fences, Or take care
of their tools, or pick cotton even af-
ter it is ready without steady atten-
ton. A prominent Mississippi planter
gave me an Illustration of one of the
troubles he had to meet. An eighteen
year-old negro left his plantation to
go to work in a railroad camp. There
he learned to use cocaine, and when
he came back to the plantation he
taught the habit to a dozen of the best
negroes there, to their complete ruin.
The planter had the entire crowd ar
rested, searched for cocaine and kept
in jail until the habit was broken.
Then he prosecuted the white druggis,
who sold the cocaine

vada, It's. (1S95) held that an agree
ment before an election to share the
salary and fees of an Office, in con-
sideration of the plaintiffs using his
influence to elect the defendant to such
Office, is void: and Leonard, Judge,
in deciding the case, said:
"It is undoubtedly void, as con-
trary to public policy. 1t was in
terms a promise to use not only per-
sOnal effort, but personal influence,
among the voters of Storey County to
secure defendants election. Its in
fluence upon plaintiff was the same as
though defendant had promised to
give him a definite sum of money in
case of election. Success would bring
reward, while defeat would result. not
only in loss of coveted profits, but
time and labor as we'll. BY it plain
tiff's love of gain was stimulated, and
a great temptation placed before him
to promote his own interest regardless
of public good. This arrangement
may have induced him to influence ten
men, or a hundred, to vote for de-
PENDANT in opposition to pre-conceived
political principles, and fixed ideas of
right and duty: and too, when they
have preferred his opponent as an in
cumbent of the Office. Such d contract
cannot be upheld. Its tendency was
to corrupt the people upon whose in
tegrity and intelligence the safety of
the State and Nation depends-to lead
voters to work for individual interest
rather than the public welfare.--Adv.
