HERE is the way the Russell

vile Democrat puts it:
 Senator Wingo had a luther vision into the future than the common run of politicians when he argued last week that the session of the legislature should be extended "so that the Demo- cratic party could carry out it's pledges to the people," He said that the party itself was on trial before the people, and that the conditions in Kentucky and Tennessee show the Democratic party is facing crisis. Wingo is a true-blue Democ rat, but this does not blind his eyes to the fact that the Democratic party is responsible for the state. house muddle, radical legislation that is driving capital from our state, the convict wrangle, and many other things for which it may be called to ac- count. Yes, the party is even pledged to submit the prohibition question to vote of the people-and the people have right to expect that this sub- mission shall be fair and honest one.

o'clock in the evening.
While all this was occurring on Lake
Erie, Cole was in Sandusky with his
plans designed for the party that
would call practically all the officers

land well away from their posts Of
duty. They were supposed to start
on the merry-making jaunt from San

young Wilson waited for the tardy
guests, and finally Cole. becoming i'm
patient, said to his companion:
Its strange that these officers
haven't come ashore before this. You
go off and see what's keeping them"
Wilson shook his head, obviously.
"They wouldn't be likely to come for
me" he said. You had better take a
boat and go yourself"
Cole, who usually dressed in dark
attire, was wearing a suit OF gray. He
discussed the matter of going over for
the officers with Wilson, who walked
down to the dock with him, and said:
Here's a boat belonging to the
Michigan. now. Go OF in her and get
your men. and I'll go with you"
Cole, following out his usual extrav-
agant methods, handed a ten-dollar
bill to the coxswafn of the crew and
told him to take the boys to the near
est bar for a drink. All went except
the boat-keeper. who waited with Co1e
and Wilson. and James Hunter, an Of
ficer Of the Michigan. who was ashore.
When the crew returned they willing
ly pulled on to the Michigan, lying
three miles of Sandusky. About half
way out. Cole, who seemed to have a
presentiment of trouble. changed his
mind about going to the ship and re-
Quested the crew to turn back.

AN ESSAY
ON HUSBANDS
Written by a Student in the Mills
Greek School. But the Teacher
Did Not Endorse It.

Husbands are largely manufaee
tured out of the raw material grow
ing on farms and outlaying dis
tricts. There are some few city vari-
cites. but they are poor in quality.
The farm output is usually taken to
the city early in life, and fed on
rum, tobacco and business until he
becomes fat enough to kill for the
matrimonial market. He is then
held out to the slaughter and used
thereafter as a basis for millinery
and dress goods.
Husbands form one of our chief
assets. They are patient, docile
under treatment, become Injured
early in life to hard labor and are
useful at dinner parties and politi-
cal gatherings.
The American variety differs
from the foreign breeds in many
important particulars. He is more
easily domesticated and stands any
amount of abuses without COM
plant. There are several Instances
on record where husbands have
slept night after night in pajamas
made by their wife and starched
under their personal supervision
without murmuring. They have
been known in rare instances to at
tend church regularly,
There are several kinds of hus-
bands. The early morning variety
is very companionable, but short
lived. In some households the ST.
lent husband is the main feature
acquiring this great gift by long
practice. The literary husband, as
a rule, is thin and poor, and has
his fur rubbed off in spots and lay;
his ears we'll back. The Salt Lake
husband has a large open heart. il
liberal in his views, and many sid
ed. He is in fact, all things to al
women.
The best husbands are caugh
when young men when their spir
its can be easily broken. - Hanniba

The farmers" said Daniel Web

civilization" Not only that they

never forget" to quote Webster
again, that the cultivation of the
earth is the most important labor of

country which has lost its taste for
agriculture. If there is one lesson

is that national strength lies very

Sayings Of a Cynic.

An industrious person seldom
has a busy tongue.
Look out for the man who looks
out for himself.
Sunday piety will not make up
for six days of depravity.
One song in the heart is better
than two in the next fiat.
The woman who has ceased to
weep is no longer young.
There is nothing fiatter than
flattery that doesn't flatter.
Once in a great while a woman
gets hat that actually looks like
one.
If a woman is unable to preserve
her complexion she begins to
pickle it.
You may have noticed that there
are more men with blockheads
than wooden legs.
The day has passed when the
can pretend to know things. Peo-
pie want to be shown.
Lots of people imagine there is
something wrong with them if they
haven't got a cold.
It's surprising how many things
the average man can find to crit
else and how few he will commend
The truly dignified man is neve
ashamed to lay aside his dignit!
