Read Somewhat Peculiar.

That there is not much in name
after all was proved amusingly day
or so ago, says the Philadelphia Times,
when a prominent business man re-
ceiyed a postal from his son and
daughter-inlaw, saying: I'VE are on
our way to He'll. but it's not as hot as
you would expect. More than that,
continued the postcard, its as easy
to get out of as TO get into" The
news came as quite surprise to the
man, as. knowing his son and daugh-
ter-in-law, he scarcely pictured them
on their way to the internal regions.
It turns out, however, that He'll is a
village in Norway or 1888 inhabitants
and is in nowise rival to its name
sake. 81 wouldn't mind 1t at all, >" de-
clares the recipient of the news, IF he
only hadn't sent II on a postcard"

In the Good Old Days.

in some respects as some would imag-
ine. Venetian writing 400 years ago
OF life In England said that he found
love of no account in determining
marriage Beauty, wit, Intellect, or
whatever else a girl might possess,
weighed little when compared with
money. Parents treated their children
so brutally that girls were eager to
marry any sort of men to get away
from the terrible discipline under
which they lived The girl that could
offer the most money got the best
man.

To Business Women.

A recent number OF the Commercial
Tribune has some sensible remarks on
the subject OF the business woman's
appearance The personal appearance
,mpresses one with the business fac
ulty of young woman. 1T adds con-
siderably to the business value of a
woman. no matter in what humble
capacity she may be. to consider per
sonal cleanliness and neatness in
dress" Tidy garments. topped by a
clean. natural complexion and neatly
arranged hair, will aid in securing a
position and help to hold It. There Is
something most businesslike in keep
ing up ones appearance. whether a
woman Is employed in an office. a
factory or In the kitchen.

RECIPROCITY.
Christmas is gone, with its JOYS and
surprises,
It's stocking brimful, and its well
weighted tree;
And now the grim thought of New
Year arises
With serious duties for you and fer
me.
IN life there is else besides dances,
receptions,
Gay luncheons and teas-other func-
tons galore
That dazzle our minds with agreeable
receptions,
For Christmas has proved that in life
there is more.
If you but gladdened one heart and
made lighter
Sadness or sorrow or troublesome
care,
All your next year you will find will
be brighter,
Someone will help you your burden to
bear!

The Democratic party will have to undergo
thorough housekeeping before it hopes to
reap the reward of the insurgent Republi-

Nearly every Democratic Senator got either
a steel or lumber splinter in his finger when
he touched the tariff schedules, and they have

Startling as this may seem, they but
follow those nine other ermined
luminaries, the Supreme Court-su-

who solemnly nullify such laws as
the Income Tax after their enact

change in conditions is strong, and is grow
ing stronger every day.
There will haze to be change soon, or the
Trusts will own the country.
Present conditions will soon reduce the
masses to poverty and starvation.
But the party that benefits by the dissats-

people, must be a party that will make the
desired changes for the betterment of condi-
lions, instead of one that promises.
In other words, the people must first be
convinced that the party is sincere.
