A Few Dots On Man.

A mans life is full of crosses
and temptations, says the Chicago
Trade Journal.
He comes into this world with
out his consent, and goes out
against his will, and the trip be-
tween the two is exceedingly rocky.
The rule of contrairies is one
of the important features of the
trip.
When he is little the big girls
kiss him, but when he is grown
the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is bad mana
ger; if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit he can't get
it; if he is prosperous everyone
wants to do him a favor.
If he's in politics it's for pie; if
he's out of politice you can't place
him, and he's no good for his
country.
If he doesn't give to charity he
is stingy cuss; if he does it is for
show.
If he is actively religious he is a
hypocrit; if he takes no interest
in religion he is a hardened sinner.
If he shows affection he is soft
specimen; if he seems to care for
no one he is cold blooded.
If he dies young there was a
great future ahead for him; if he
lives to an old age he has missed
his calling.
The Road is Rocky, but Man
Loves to travel.

est of some other candidate, he de-
livers the delegation to a man who
was afraid to go before the voters of
that county and ask for the delegation
on his own merits. If he is not run

candidate and cannot get the nominal

enables him to deliver his delegation

Everybody who knows anything

conventions are manipulated by
practical politicians This does not
apply to the situation in the Fifth

any other district or convention. 1t

Native Dish

Stephen Thaw, a nephew Of Harry
Kendall Thaw, is missionary in Syria,
and to his friends in Pittsburg the
young man occasionally writes the most
amusing letters. In a recent letter Mr..
Thaw described a dinner that Chinese
merchant had given to an English
traveller in a remote Syrian town. The
Chinaman could speak no English, and
the Englishman could speak no Chinese;
nevertheless the dinner went off very
agreeably. The two men sat facing one
another in silence, while neat Chinese
butler served them dish after dish of
SURPRISING delicacy.
There was one dish especially that
pleased the Englishman. 1t was a rich
stew of onions, pork, mushrooms and a
dark, tender, well-f1avored meat thai
seemed like duck. The Englishman ate
heartily of this stew. Then he closed
his eyes and lifted his hands and shook
his head with an air of ecstasy. After
