Even the tickle minded compos-
itor has set ways.
A man isn't necessarily bald be-
cause he has no heir.
The man who has no time for an
occasional laugh needs a vacation.
Most Of the things we wish for
arc aboft as useful as Il counter
felt dollar bill.
Nothing pIeases large woman
mere than to have Il man call her
a dear little girl.
Marriage is seldom Il failure if
neither party TO the contract has
any fool relations to butt in.
Occasionally a man balks at do
ing charitable deed because some
one he dislikes expects him to do
it.
When girls breath suggests

certain young man is due to call
on her.
A pessimist says there is but
one thing more awkward than a
man learning to dance, anti that is
a woman learning to swim.
Matrimony makes man awful

forever after.
There is no good in lies, YET
some men boast of their ability to

Gen. Grant at Chattonooqa

In the course of the next morn
ing | saw Gen. Grant for the first
time. Unexpectedly he had come
over with Gen. Thomas to inspect
our lines. AS his coming had not
been announced, his appearance
among us was surprise, and
there was no demonstration, no
cheering among the soldiers, be
cause they did not know that this
modest looking gentleman was the
victorious hero of many battles.
There was absolutely nothing of
the fuss and-feather style, nothing
OF the stage or picture general
about him. His head was cover
ed with the regulation black felt
hat. He wore a major generals
coat, hut it was unbuttoned and
nnbel.esl He carried no sword.

JET. Davis for President.

Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, form
erly vice president of the United
States, is fond of telling Of an odd ex-
perience he had shortly after the civil
war. At that time David Davis was
much talked of as the man to run
against Gen. Grant for the presidency.
A conference was held in Mr.. Steven
sons Bloomington residence, many
leading Illinois and other Democrats
being present. a good deal was said
about the possible candidacy of Mr..
Davis, but no one happened to men,
ton his first name. After the confer
ence broke up Mr. Stevenson drew an
old farmer friend into a corner and
asked his opinion. The farmer was
from the extreme southern end Of
Illinois. He said: We'll, Adlai. you
know I've followed your lead In poll
tics for a good while and I'm going
to do it now. But, honest, Adlai, don't
YOU think it's leetle mite early to
nominate Jeff Davis?" - Chicago

New Rule for Missouri Senators,

That part of the new Missouri
law for the selection of candidates
for United States Senators which
makes it mandatory on the major-
ity of the Legislature to vote for
the candidate nominated by its
party may not hold in law but it
will in politics.
Since the Constitution of the
United States directs that Senators
be chosen by the Legislatures in
each State, they cannot, technical
ly speaking, be deprived of that
power unless by amendment. But
the Constitution also gives the
Presidential electors the right to
choose the President and Vice
President as their judgment may
direct. As a matter Of fact, they
have never attempted to exercise
The right since Jefferson's first cleo
tlon, but have been content to reg
ister the will of the party to whi ch
they belong.
No Presidential elector now dare
depart from the instructions given
him by the people ut the polls. To
do SO would hopelessly discredit
him politically, socially and in
business. Members of Legisla-
lures would as readily resign their
power of free choice of Senators
under such instructions as those to
be given by the people under the
Missouri Senatorial primary law.
Tie Legislature of Missouri did
we'll 10 fix the choice of Senatorial
candidates in the general election
instead of in the primaries by
which other candidates will be
nominated. The larger vote cas-,
in the general election will .permi,
