Could You Run a Saloon?

Put this question to a man who Is splitting hairs over this sub- ject. Could you conscientiously run saloon yourself? and you begin to undermine his obiec tions at once. Why, on moral grounds, should man refuse? Can any reason for his refusal be given that would not be equal ly good reason for his refusal, as a citizen, to participate in sustain ing the saloon by his vote and sharing in it's guilty gains? It does not seem to us there can be. Every man who would have con. Scientious scruples against going behind bar and serving out liq- uor ought to have conscientious scruples against voting to license and authorize anyone else to do it..

Young Wcman's Paradise.

"If some of the stories told about servant girls in California be true it may well be regarded as the young woman's paradise" says the London Chronicle. "A girl went to Los An geles from England to cook and do general housework in a small family for CT t$35) a month. Going from a relatives house in San Fernando val ley to begin her duties for the first time, she had to walk half mile to the trolley cars. A rancher came along in his buggy and asked her to ride Before the trolley cars were reached the rancher had proposed and. instead of going to work, the girl went to the psrson and was married She now milks five cows daily, cooks three meals, irrigates the garden and does not regret the quick courtship."

FELT HIS NEW DIGNITY.
Minister to Siam Realized He Had
 Position to Keep Up.

John Barrett, chief of the bureau of American republics, after various other experiments in diplomacy, came 10 Washington from Oregon during President Cleveland's second term to get anything he could.
 He brought a bunch of Oregon boomers with him, and for a time they stayed at the best hotels. The job was slow in coming and they went from cheaper place to cheaper place. like Mark Twains officeseeker, until they were forced to eat at one of the lunch places on Pennsylvania avenue.
 One night, while they were eating dinner, word came that President Cleveland had decided to appoint Barrett minister to Siam. Barrett rose from the table and put on his coat.
 Hold on. John," cried one of his companions in misfortune; where are you going? Aren't you going to finish your dinner?"
 "Gentlemen," said Barrett as he stalked out, this is no place for the minister to Siam to dine. e."-Saturday Evening Post

Democracy and Temperance.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) "Senti- nel" says that Tennessee ought to take the lead in urging the next National Democratic and Republican conventions to favor the adoption of strong declara- tons promising protection to To- cal option communities from in terState shipments of liquors. The Sentinel" adds that this should be made a national queS. tiOn. It is a joy to see this stauncE Democratic paper taking such an advanced position concerning the liquor traffic. The entire liq- uor business is already a national question. The trouble hitherto has been that the Democratic and Republican parties have been unwilling to recognize the impor- of this great national issue. There is no doubt that the time hastens when they will be forced to consider the question in a bet ter light than has been the case heretofore.

A boy working in a garden in the village of Grafton, O., saw a dog pass. ing along the street and, of course. he picked up stone and took a throw. The stone hit the dog, and the canine ran under the feet of a team of horses. The horses ran away and dashed into the front of a store.
 A man in getting out of their way fell and broke his leg man and a woman in the store were badly hurt. The damage to the store was $100 One horse was killed and the wagon smashed, and that counted up s20O more.

FIRED FORTY-TWO SHOTS.
A Lengthy and Harmless Duel Be.
 tween Two Italians.

A remarkable duet was fought in Naples recently It arose out of quar- rel between two Neapolitan aristo- crats, to settle which a duel was ar ranged. When, however, the comba- tants were facing each other, sword in hand, reconciliation was effected.
 Then a fresh dispute arose between Signor San Malato, one of the prin- cipals, noted fencer, and Signor Bas- Hone, one of the seconds. with the re- suit that a second duel was arranged between them, to continue until one of them was incapacitated.
 The weapons were to be pistols. Both parties, though famed as fenc- CTS, proved very bad shots, for at 65 feet distance fl shots were exchanged without the shedding of blood.
 At the fortysecond shot, however, San Malato grazed his opponents cheek, making a slight abrasion
 The seconds then intervehed hon. or was declared satisfied, and the duelists embraced each other amid. the report says, touching scene.
 Both combatants were congratulate ed upon their coolness under this hail of bullets. The affair lasted eX- actly three hours and half

Eo'H WORLD IS TO END.
Scientific Forecast as Made by a
 Learned Professor

A scientific forecast of how the end of the world might come has been given by Prof Ellard Gore His theory is that final cataclysm may possibly be the, result of a collision between the sun and some dark dead, derelict planet< Although astronomers have no actual proof that such dead suns exist, without life or light, and career ing about in space, they believe it quite possible The result of col lision between the sun and dark planet would be that the formers light and heat would be enormously increased and the earth instantly de- Stroyed by combustion. Prof. Gore tells how we should be warned of our approaching doom When about 150,- 000,000 miles from the sun the dark body would begin to shine by reflected light. In about ten years it would have become so bright as to be visible to the naked eye. In Is years it would be brighter than any object except the moon Very soon afterward would come the great catastrophe of it's col lision, moving at 400 miles a second, with the sun moving at the same speed"

 A good conscience is the universal handicap in the race for worldly sue cess.
 When parent has twins, to tell the truth. he does not know whether to laugh or to cry
 The woman who thinks that no man can fool her is the very one who goes down the easiest.
 Grief and love have much in com mon; one thing being that the worse you feel 1t the sooner it is over.
 When a girl goes either to we'd ding or funeral she puts in most of her time thinking about how 1t will be when her turn comes.
 Nearly every man believes that hay Ing a good time is spending more mon- ey than he can afford, but that's just where he fools himself.
 One comfort about family quarrel many a man finds out is that while his wife is mad at him and won't speak to him she cant strike hm for money.
 It knocks half the fun out of being engaged when a girl realizes that no matter how nice fellow comes along she will have no chance to make him like her.

CAUSED MEN TO LAUGH.
But Women Saw No Reason for Lev
 fly in Ruined Headgear.

Mems sense of humor is peculiar. For example, every man in the vicin- ity of Broadway and Spring street chuckled gleefully the other day over an accident that reduced the women present to state of tears. A small, one-horse wagon loaded with packing cases was run into by heavy truck. The small wagon was hit so hard that several of the cases were jolted off and broken open, scattering the con- tents over the street. The demolished merchandise consisted of wOmen's headgear. There were felt and vel vet hats, feathers, flowers and rib bon. Most of the hats were bent and crushed into even more rediculous shapes than had been designed by the milliner, and the feathers and flowers were crushed. That was what tickled the men
 "Women's hats, by George!" ex- claimed strapping young fellow who carried two suit cases. Somebody's finery has gone to smash, and some poor devil of man has escaped pay ing a tremendous bill"
 At that exhibition of alleged wit every other man of high or low de- gree laughed uproariously, and con- tinued to laugh until the wreckage had been scraped up and the little comedy of the streets was played out. New York Press.

HOARpS $1,000 AND EXPIRES.
Miser, Once an Australian Miner, Is
Found Dead with His Money.

London, Sept. 9.-George Keymer,
an old man who was formerly a gold
miner in Australia, has been found
dead in a little cottage which he &C.
cupied at Ipswich, and a hoard of
more than $1,000 has been discovered.
The cottage was scantily furnished,
having only a bed and a few boxes in
it. Keymer lived alone, doing all
his cooking and even washing his
own clothes.
He had been i'll for some time, and
recently when he was visited by some
acquaintances he was only able to
say, bag, bag-carpet bag" After
his death a search was made and a
carpet bag containing gold, notes and
a bank deposit note, to the total value
of 1900, was found.
A clergyman took possession of the
money and deposited it in the bank,
where it is awaiting claimants. The
old man is said to have lived poorly
for some time INC to have been in
perpetual dread of being poisoned.

FINDS SON LOST MANY YEARS.
Mother Discovers Boy Driving in Cir
Gus Parade and Reunion Follows.

Bucyrus, O., Sept. 9.-"Is that you.
Johnny Gordon?" shouted a gray
haired woman to a driver in a circus
parade. That's what it is" an
swcred the driver as he drew up at
the side of the street and abandoned
his team. He climbed down and was
clasped in the embrace of his mother
from whom he had been separated for
years.
1t was a fearful reuniting after
fruitless years of search on the part
of both mother and son. Years ago
the family lived V miles south OF
Bucyrus. The father died and the
children were separated. The mother
kept track of John up to a dozen years
ago. when she married again, unknown
to her son. For years both searched
for the other. John joined a circus
and while the parade was passing
down the street his mother stood
watching the pageant.
Suddenly she saw her son on n OF
the big wagons and, dashing into the
street, she called him. The reunion
was the result. John has quit the
show and rented a home in Bucyrus,
and will live with his mother.

TACTICAL ADVANTAGE
Given United States as Result OF
Vancouver Riot.


Washington. In the opinion OF inn
portant government officials, the anti
Japanese riots. at Vancouver make al
most certain negotiations between
Washington and Toxic, looking to the
exclusion of Japanese from this coun-
try, because of the tactical advantage
which the riots have given the Ameri-
can government, there is little doubt
that while deploring the occurrences
from a humane standpoint, the ten
dency in administration circles is to
view the situation with c~omplacency
and perhaps a little secret satisfaction.
The fact that the Vancouver trouble
came close upon the heels of the attack
or the Hindus at Bellingham, Wash,
is in some degree responsible for this
feeling, for which a situation confront
ing it almost identical with that which
seemed about to call forth a protest
from the English government. Great
Britain will probably tread softly for
the time being, but the important point
as viewed at the State department, is
the effect the Canadian outburst will
have on our own relations with the
Japanese government. 1t is held that
the breaking out of popular feeling
against the Orientals in different parts
of the country and Canada is a convinc-
ing argument that the troubles of this
character on the Pacific coast are not
to be attributed to the hostility merely
of labor unions to the Chinese and Jap
anese, but to an ~all-prevailing preiu-
dice of race, which no legislation or
treaty can overcome.

the river Of death.
