phized Mrs. Twaddles, "how horse

silly remark; am In earnest. A horse
hasn't any idea what Is going to hap

doesn't know how far he is going, or
what he Is going for. TO be driven
hithcr and thither, blindly, seemingly
without purpose, with no idea what
It's all about or when Ii will be over
how must the poor creature feel-.what

YEARLY, that he must feel just as I
do when you take me on shopping
trip with YOU"
But Mrs. Twaddles merely snifred.

Upon awakening early, Yaskey, as

on the opposite side of the street, and
he was about to say something about
the nuisance to his wife, whenl he dis.
covered that something was wrong
with her He tried tc arouse her. but
was unsuccessful. Then he jumped
out Of bed and found that he was
himself so weak that he could scarcely
make his way to a window. he could
smell gas. Finally he managed to get
the window open and then he tried
to revive his wife, but again failed
Next he turned his attention to his
two sons, eight-yearold Nathan and
Four-year-old Hyman. but they were
also unconscious.
The father then rushed from the
house and summoned policeman, and
the entire family was removed to the
Hahnemann hospital in the patrol OF
the Seventh district.

Every Word of IL True.

The man who drinks intoxicants is
being crowded to the wall says the
Farm Journal. Railroad companies do
not want him, mill-owners pass him up,
and private employees do not give him a
warm welcome Even the saloonkeep-
er loses interest in him as soon as his
money runs out. 1t has always seemed
to US that the time spent in drinking is
frightful waste of good manhood, and
it must seem that wav to the drlnker in
his sober hours. Drink brings a har-
vest of tears and shame. and leaves a
ruin of broken homes and heart crushed
women and children, and it is not worth
the awful price.
The star batter of the Philadelphia
Athletics, "Home-run Baker" says:
eff any youngster wants advice from
one who dosen't mean to preach, here
it is: Leave clgaretts and tobacco alone,
and don't touch booze now or at any
time. Mine is the total-abstinence
platform for both liquor and tobacco. F"

THE Guernsey (Ohio) Times remarks:
Travelling men report business as dull
generally. 1t is worse in some places
than in others but in no place is it good.
When mining and steel mills come to-
gether it is at its worst. Last fall
when the new tariff bill was enacted we
were told that an era of prosperity was
at hand. All our troubles, we were as
surred, were over. The cost of living
would drop to a minimum and every
body would have work at good wages.
Has anybody discovered any condition
of that kind?
The new tariff is causing a boom in
business is certainly not coming up to
the advance notices. But there is an
other election this TALL
