A young lady of this city went into
a dry goods store the other dav and
blushingly asked the head clerk if he
had any of those elastic bands, cap
able of being elongated and adjusted
at pleasure, and used by the feminine
portion of mankind for putting around
the lower eXtremities of their locomo-
tive members to keep in the prop r
position and the required altitude
habilaments of their tibias." The clerk
is now on sheep ranch.
Criticism is a medicine that some
times kills, bat often cures. 1t cured
Lord Byron of some of his early fol
bles and lordly conceit. and it is said
to have killed John Keats, on oyer
sensitive young poet. But taken as
whole, criticism is good thing if
wisely directed and properly admin
istered. 1t cOrrects errors, cultivates
taste, and conducts the world in the
right paths to the attainment of the
most substantial good to the greatest
number
An irate citizen says that hereafter
ne wants the editors to mind their
own business My dear Christian
friend, did you ever reflect, in YOUR
contemplative moments, when the
moon is beamlng, when the whippoor-
will sings IN the tree, when the hired
man shores in the loft, the yellow dog
sleeps on the lea, and the MOSQUITO
gets IN his work, did you eyer reflect
IN such times upon the idea that
paper containing only accounts of the
editors own private business would
be apt to prove monotonous to the
general public? They might stand it
for while, but in the end i t would
be thorn in the side and a WEAKNESS
to the flesh, and all that sort of thing.
No, brother, the true editors business
is to make everybody's business his
business. That's business. SO there's
no use in making a chronic kicker of
yourself for any one.

ample. Parties and platforms, aims
and ideals, fads and PHILOSOPHERS have
shifted and changed in a sort of kalei-
doscopic whirl since Stevenson went
actively into the political game, and
yet there has never been a moment, in
all probability, when it could fairly
and consistently be charged that he
was not regular
And all that, too, in the face of the
fact that he has been leader rather
than a camp follower, thinker of pro-
gressive ideas and strong character,
against the integrity of whose political
probity nobody has thought TO utter a
suggestion. But he is a philosopher,
and being such he is not prone to
waste either temper or toes in kicking
against walls. He has long been
known to the newspaper interviewers
as a gentleman of the old type, cour-
teous and gentle, and who was always
accessible but never talkative upon
either issues or men.
Before his term as vice president he
was in congress two separate times
and four years each time. He was
also first assistant postmaster general
during the first Cleveland term.
