CHOICE MISCELLANY
What Iurks May Not ssy.

As for the fate of his subjects, the decadence of Turkey, the future of the country what does Abdul Hamid care about that? The empire is his private property by the right of birth. It is the patrimony which he has inherited and which he squanders like prodi- gal son. Turkey--it is himself! And so he has forbidden in his estates words such as country" nation" people" liberty" revolution" to be spoken or printed, more especially "liberty" and revolution"
 A Turkish friend of mine, an old scholar of the Mullkie school. which is a kind of political science school, says writer in the American Magazine, told me the following little anecdote: .n the French lesson, the professor being q Turk, they were translating page of some French anthology They came to passage where it was said that "the butterfly flies with free dom." The professor was perturbed. Doubtless he was afraid of being de- nounced by spies (who were plentiful in the schools) for allowing the use of so guilty word as freedom"
 ''Stop," said he to the scholar who was reading aloud, and as the pupil he had addressed stopped the teacher hastened to translate himself, "The butterfly flies with ease"

CLEVELAND AS POLITICIAN
His Coup in Suggesting Tone Of Adlai
 Stevenson s Acceptance

George F. Parker in Mcclure s.
 On the second Saturday before the election of 1892 MT. Cleveland sent for me to come at once to New York. As soon as I arrived he explained his summons:
 Stevenson has never written any let ter of acceptance, and now have trust worthy information that the republicans are coming out with grand exposure of his supposed record as greenbacker more than twenty years ago. know how sound his opinions are, but it is necessary for us to meet this threatened movement by spiking our opponents guns. Stevenson promised me yesterday that he would write letter of accep- tance, but he has left town without doing it. He has gone either to Charles ton or Charlestown, w. Val don t know which--to make speeches. Now, know it is hard journey, but I want you to find out where he is, start this afternoon, and get his letter out at the earliest moment. Perhaps,' he said in something of an aside, although we were alone, ''when you are on the train, in order to save time, it might be well for you to prepare something in the way of suggestion.
 Finding that this errand involved travel of about 1,200 miles, I took the first train for the capital of West vir- ginia- As soon as was seated in the Pullman car, bethought me of Mir. Cleveland's s suggestion, took out pad, and fell to work. Before I had reached Trenton I had written tentative Vice Presidential letter of acceptance. It was strong on sound money and the tar if, with incidental treatment of other questions then current, and amounted to perhaps 400 words.
 Upon arriving at Charleston the next day, about noon, was met at the sta tion by the candidate for vice presi- dent, the governor of the state, ard the chairman of the state committee Tn reply to question about my trrand, I told MT. Stevens that had come for his letter of acceptance, and he replied:
 Ies; l thought as much.
 On the way to his hotel he asked:
 Did you happen to think of writing anything on the way down?''
 My draft was accepted with verbal changes, and with the addition of an extract from one of the candidates recent speeches on the force bill. A typewriter was found, Copies were made, and by seven o'clock in the evening they were filed with both the press as- sociations
 At midnight took my train to New York, and long before got back the letter of acceptance had appeared in every newspaper in the United States. The republican charges were fcrestalled so completely that the matter was never heard of again. MT. Cleveland was keen enough as politician when princi- ple was involved

UNUSUAL MIR. JEFFRIEs

Mir. James J. Jefries is, we think, something new under the sun in the eyes of that not at all inconsiderable if possibly reprehensible fraction of the population of this glorious land that worships with varying degrees of en- thusiasm at the shrine of professional pugilism.
 MT. Jeffries is cheerful gladiator of latter-day persuasion, who has bat tied his way right up to the very iron pew in the temple of prize fighting and is the most illustrious living example to- ward which the high priests thereof point with unanimity and unmistakable pride. He is the bright and particular star around which revolves the entire universe of things fistically strenuous, and the ratio of his personal importance to that of his most distinguished and esteemed contemporaries is at least six teen to one, if not more so.
 That is to say, of course, theoretically all this is true As cold and prosa- ically practical fact, MT. Jeffries is not happy, and fears mayhap the days of his picturesque glory are dawning to a close, and that the hardrwon renown now technically his may be snatched away from him soon, and that by an un- desirable person the most anciently hon orable and interesting ancestor of whom was dark-skinned party by the name of Ham.
 Ordinarily, this would not strike us as a topic of compelling importance Whether the heavyweight champion of the world pugnacious stays in Amer ica does not keep us awake nights; and the here and wonder disturbing thought that it may pass into the keeping of a "cullud pusson' in nowise interrupts the orderly progress of either our dream ing or our thoughts awake. These sor- did things agitate us not at all. But We do contend, and therein lies the sum total of our growing admiration for MT. Jeffries, that an acknowledged and undisputed pugilistic champion who admits he may lose his proud title to foe yet without the citadel of his proud estate, in any or every conceiv- able circumstance, is hero about whose manly form we may even drape Old Glory, and not be ashamed or impelled to protest our self-respect simultaneous ly.
 And so, with due mindfulness of the proprieties and the niceties of our high calling and it's more or less intimate relations to the moral and mental up lift of humanity in general and our i'm mediate constituency in particular, we wish MT. Jeffries mighty well, in case he decides to tempt fate and cast dis cretion to the winds in respect of a trial of prowess between himself and this "cullud pusson" aforesaid, whose name escapes us for the moment. In short we are pleased to give MT. Jeffries the benefit of his own unparalleled and ex- traordinarily amazing doubt as to the outcome, and hope that in the event of the encounter presumably pending he may flick" his antagonist "to fraz- zle,' and retain unto his ow1, behoof and benefit every laurel wre;th that now encircles his noble and ruggedly classic brow.

MARRIAGE and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch-
ison a young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad-
mired. She married fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchison

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages Of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of a
paint expert could be.
