The humorists long shore call them

Day. because their shippers intend to
keep them on the safe side Of the sea-
farins-or seafearin', as the aforesaid
humorists insist; SO carefully on the
safe side that they do not venture OF
shore far enough to lose sight of the
apple trees" The "apple-tree fleet.
consists of certain antiquated coast
ing vessels that run cargoes from
Maine into the New England ports.
Many of these relics date back for
nearly a century; one of them, the
Polly, was a privateer in the war of
1872. Many are the amusing stories
which the author tells of these ships
and their shippers. One Capt. Skibles
sailed from Thomastown with cargo
Of lime, but found dull market in
Chesapeake bay. II know what I'll
'do," said Capt Skbles to himself. ''Ill
put on my best clothes and go up to
Washington and see President An

and was admitted to the White House,
and, with his plug hat" under his
arm. thus delivered himself: "Presi.

The water was but two or three

Joplin is the center of the most
wonderful mining district in the
world-a district which has
grown up under adverse condi-
tions as far as legislation is con-
cerned. Not until the Republi-
cans sent a man to Congress
from this district to make known
the necessity of special fprotec-
ton against the cheap mining
and inferior ores from Mexico
did Congress take cognizance Of
the vast interests which are rep
resented in the lead and zinc in
-dustry there. The change was
brought about by a Republican
congressman, backed by the or
ganized citizens and strenuously
opposed by some of the tariff for
revenue only" Democrats from

of today in the Office of United States
District Attorney Houpt, with several
agents of brewers and distillers, whose
products are disposed Of to con-
siderable extent in the northern part
Of the state.
While the conference was secret, IT
was believed to relate to the running

MELANcHoLIA THE DISEASE.
Work Toward 5etterment of the World
Should Prevent Blues.

Dayton News: 1t does seem that
there is less excuse for melanchoha
than for any other disease. If it were
only the persons who have real griev-
ances that suffer from it, it would be
different. If it were invariably the wo-
man to whom the fates have been so
unkind as to leave not rent in life's
curtain through which a ray of light
might shine; If it were always the poor
fellow who has been battered by the
storms of life, and who has not the
slightest hope Of regaining health or
reaching a comfortable place In the
struggle for existence-if it were al
ways such persons who suffered from
melancholia, some excuse might be
made. But the truth is, the persons
subject to melancholia are not, as q
rule, of that unfortunate class. Often
persons who suffer from 1t are in pretty
fair health--if they thought so-and
with halo of hope within their view
If they would but open their eyes.
If there has ever been created a hap
pier world than this, the people on this
earth know nothing about it. 1t is so
well adjusted to the wants of man
that e-legged people can get through
it. There is, so much of light and color
in 1t that blind people see enough to
cause them to want to live. There is
SO much of music that the deaf do not
become discouraged. There is so much
of hope that even the drowning man
grabs at a stray and goes, to his re-
ward happy in the hope that he Is
going to be saved.
In short, there is no place in this
world for melancholia. That form Of
insanity ought to have been vanished
the day after man awoke and found
himself conscious of his surroundings.
Certainly it ought to have taken
wings at the first rising of the sun.
Not that everything in this old world
goes along as it ought tot is not
that which ought to drive away MEL
ancholia But the very fact that things
do not go along as they should-that
ought to prevent the blues as mel
ancholia is sometimes called. So long
as there is something at which to
justly complaint: so long as there is
something useful TO be done; so long
as there are sick and afflicted to visit:
so long as the distribution of wealth
works a hardship here and there; so
long as there are problems to solve
so long as there is poverty in the land,
there is never an excuse for any one
ting down and suffering from mel
ancholia.

washington, Dec. ii. Has Uncle
Joe" Cannon a dual personality? / saw
him in Danville, ILL.,. just once during
a campaign and have seen him in
Washington daily since the opening Of
congress. Out in Illinois he wore a
SLOUGH hat refused to comb his hair,
chewed and spat vigorously, said
had saw" occasionally, rolled up his
trousers at the bottom, smoked cheap
cigars, swore gently under his breath,
jollied the babies and their mothers,
and once, the time 1 saw him him, he
rode a mule Just to josh the demo-
Gratis. This isn't the Uncle Joe" Of
washington. He rides to the capitol
in a big touring car, a colored at
tendant swings open the door, and out
steps the speaker attired in the top Of
fashion and pulling at his choicest
brand Of cigars. He reminds me of
one other distinguished statesman and
dear friend who is still running for
governor out in Indiana.
James E. Watson former whip of
the house, whose name recalls the
shades Of Foraker and other states
men who are on the shelf at present,
was wont to go campaigning down in
the German settlement Of the Sixth
district in Indiana wearing a pair OF
wooden shoes. AS a young man the
wooden shoes shattered an overwhelm-
ing majority and made him marked
man in succeeding sessions of con-
gress. Then the gum shoes displaced
