He has successfully combatted meny wrongs in his own commonwealth. and when he goes after an evil he usually hits it a hard blow. Recently he attacked the mail order business, and this is what he said: "I do not believe in the mail order citizen. It is better that we should have a thousand towns than one large city. If a place is good enough for a man to make his money in. it certainly should be good enough for him to spend his money in. The merchants have a just right to all of the business of the town in which they have their stores, and every good citizen will help them to get it. No town is better nor worse than its citizens make it. Show me the stores and newspapers of a place and I will tell you the sort of citizens it harbors. " T. C. De Voss has gpne to Fort Wayne on a special business trip.

’ WHEN NAPOLEON WALKED. An incident of th# Tragic Ratroat From Mcscow. It waa on Nov. 25, at about 7 o'clock in the morning, when we saw the bead of the column. The first we mw were generals, a few of whom were on horseback, but the majority on foot The latter painfully dragged themselves along, almost all having their feet frozen and bound up In rags and pieces of sheepskin and dying of hunger. We then saw what was left of the cavalry of the guard. The emperor came next on foot with a stick in his hand. He was muffled up in a large capote lined with fur and wore on his head an amaranthine velvet cap edged with black foxskin. On his right marched, also on foot King Murat; on his left. Prince Eugene, viceroy of Italy; then Berthier, prince of Neufehatei; Ney. Mortier. Lefebvre and other marshals and generals whose corps had been partly destroyed. They were followed by TOO to 800 officers and subofficers, marching in order and bearing in the greatest silence the eagles of the regiments to which they had belonged and that bad so often led them to victory. They were the remnant of over 60.000 men. My poor Pieart who had not seen the army for a month, gazed on silently, but his convulsive movements showed only too well what he felt. I saw big tears roll down the cheeks and fall on his mustache, from which icicles were hanging. Then, turning to me. “Really, compatriot I do not know whether I am asleep or awake; I weep because I have seen onr emperor marching on foot a stick in his hand—he that was so great and who has made us so proud!"—“M emoire* of Sergeant Bourgogne.” POINTED PARAGRAPHS. As a matter of fact there are no very big fish in small puddles. Ton can usually find a pin almost anywhere but in the pincushion. A fool is the greatest nuisance in this world. And there are quite a few of them. It is beyond some men to understand the difference between pomposity and dignity. We have always wondered what women do with the 2 cents saved in purchasing a two dollar article for $1.98. Have you ever stopped to admire the self control of the man who can pick up a lead pencil without marking on something? Every man would have a pretty fair reputation If people looked for bis good qualities as carefully as they look foe the good qualities of a dog.—Atchison Globe.

Abaentmindad 'Gatare. An old colored man who is devoutly religious returned to Brooklyn recently from a trip to Florida, his birthplace. and to.ld his employer about a narrow escape be had had from an alligator. Knowing of the religion* zee! of tbe darky, the employer sought to test bls faith. “What were you afraid of an alligator for?" he asked him. "Don't you know that tbe Lord will take care of you? Os course you know the story of Jonah and the whale. Tbe whale swallowed Jonah, but Jonah came out al! safe enough." The darky shook his head dubiously. "Yes. boss. I knows about Jonah," he said. "but. then, you see. a whale's got a mem'ry. A alligatah ain’t got no mem’ry. If a 'gatah swallows you he won't think no mo’ about you.”— New York Press. Queer Smokes. “Tobacco." said a tobacconist “Is one of many herbs that are smoked. In the orient for instance, bhang or cannabis. a drug that gives one the desire to caress people’s feet goes into loads of pipes. Some savages smoke tbe leaves of the wild potato and tbe wild tomato. These bitter leaves are narcotic. They throw you into a pleasant stupor. Pursued in. though, they bring insanity. Some of the Swiss guides smoke “mountain tobacco.’ a weed that grows only «t great heigh:- This stuff prodaces an intoxication akin to alcohol's. Our Indians, when hard up. smoke ht>L iy and sumac leaves and the silvery leaves of 'lndian tobacco.’ which every boy has chewed."—New Orleans TimesDemocrat.

AesMsnUl *M*a*f*. " “In literature," said a publisher, “popular success frequently camae by accident A remarkable case waa that of J. H. Shorthouse. This man, a poor chemist spent same years writing a book called ‘John Inglesant.' But the publishers would have none of 'John Ingiesant' and finally Mr. Shorthouse printed 100 copies at his own expense. “Only forty of these copies sold, one purchaser being a photographer. The photographer took .Mr. Gladstone's picture some weeks later, and the old man chose a studious pose, sitting with a volume in his hand. He bent in absorption over the work, which happened accidentally to be ‘John Inglesant.' and In tbe thousands of copies of the photograph that were sold by accident the book’s name was plainly to be made out. “Mr. Gladstone was regarded as a great critic, and tbe people thought he desired to recommend 'John Ingieaant.’ What was the result? Within the year 300.000 copies of 'John Inglesant’ had been sold, and Shorthouse was a made man.” Two Tall Ona». "Eagles and hyenas, if they are starving, will eat themselves," said a nature fakir. “Oh, of course.” “It’s the truth. Pliny mentions it in his natural history, and I have proved it by experiment. I starved an eagle three days, and he began to tear chunks out of his thigh and eat them. The thing was so sickening to me that I only permitted it to go on a day. I got two good photographs of it for my last book, then I restored the eagle s rations again. The poor fellow had made a hole in his thigh as big as your fist, and to this day he walks lame. “And the hyena? The hyena was worse still. At first be was obstinate and refused to touch himself; but one night I heard angry growls from hla cage and. going down with a lantern. I found him eating his hind leg. He had made great progress. He had got away with about three pounds. I believe if I hadn't come down in time he'd have devoured himself completely."—Exchange. Strained the Jar. A little old woman with a sharp nose and sharper tongue was in the country grocery store buying suppllee. Among other things she brought in from her cart was a battle scarred jug. which she ordered to be filled with treacle. At last when her purchases were completed, she began looking over tbe account. Item by item, before paying. • What's this?” she exclaimed. "You have charged me for two gallons and a half of treacle.” “Yes, ma’am.” "But that jug bolds only two gallons.'’ "You must be mistaken. I measured the treacle carefully, and K took two gallons and a half to fill it" “Well," said the old woman with a sigh. T don't so much mind haring to pay for tbe treacle, but I do object te having tbe old jug strained by your putting in half a gallon more than it will bold."-Strand Magazine.

Plane Sailing. All plain sailing. This term ta so spelled even in nautical works of some age, but plane sailing is the correct form. Before Mercator Invented the sea chart which goes by his name all charts were on a plane projection. In using these the ship's coarse was treated as an angle and the distance, difference of latitude and departure as the sides of a right angled triangle. There were very large errors in plane charts, yet all the world was charted on them and all tbe great voyages of discovery made before Mercator’s projection came Into use. Plane sailing was the simplest of all sailings, and thus came the present meaning of the term. An Author’s Journal. Sold one poem. <Molly has just come in to say the coal’s out.)
