caniem is riding on the crest of the wave. Confidence will be fully re stored and the country will assume its normal condition after another election. All the peop’e—even the democrats—feel secure when republicans are at the helm, at the throttle, on the outlook, at the bridge in command. In hunting around for a cau^e for their defeat democrats shouldn't overlook the tariff. It figured largely in the result. Hinshaw will be taken to prison at Jeffersonville today.

SPURS TO ACTION. The Very Simple Thing That Brought Mr. Griddletop B»ck to Life. “Some men need one spur, some nuother,” said Mr. Gratebar. “Now, there was my friend Sylvanns Griddletop. Mr. Griddletop was a man ■wiih a fair income, which, when the financial cyclone came along, was very greatly reduced. Mr. Griddletop promptly shortened sail to accommodate himself to the altered weather; he economized in all directions, and he was surprised to find how much he could economize; and while the new order of things wasn't like the old, it was gratifying to Mr. Griddletop to discover that it ; still afforded some measure of comfort. | “At last the financial cyclone passed, I but Mr. Griddletop, who had accepted the changed situation manfully, now discovered that in ihe cottse of that enforced period of comparative idleness his manfuluess had given way to sluggishness; he had found it quite possible to live upon his reduced means, and now, instead of making an effort, he did as men sometimes do in like circnmstanoes—he settled down into a placid, dull contentment with what he had. “One of the economies that Mr. Griddletop began to practice immediately upon the curtailment of his income had been that of blacking his own shoes. There had seemed no easier way of saving |18 a year than this, and he hud found the work easy enough, without realizing at the time that this, like many another economy, like giving up going to the theater, for instance, meant the cutting off of so much communication with the world, and so tended to the gradual narrowing of his existence. “One day, when lie had occasion to see a man on ^ matter of business, finding his slioes in a not very presentable condition, Mr. Griddletop stepped up on a bootblack's stand and took his seat in the comfortable chair, as he had not done in a year before, and put his feet upon the metal footrests. It was like stepping back into the world from which he bad been so long apart; it awakened in him a desire for all the old time activities and pleasures of life. He stepped down from the bootblack's stand with a new ambition. It was for him just the needed spur to action.’’—New York Sun. WHAT A LETTER DID.

How m Southern Congressman Innocently Made n Lifelong Enemy. “Speaking of stenographers,” said a gentleman well known in Washington, who for a number of years represented a Louisiana district in congress, “I once had a secretary, an unusually careful and competent fellow, too, whose slight slip in a typewritten lettei to a constituent of mine cost me that gentleman’s friendship, a friendship valued much more highly than I can express. “This is the way it came about: At a time when I was well Hgh submerged with committee duties I received a letter from the head of one of the most influential and widely respected families of the state. His residence had just burned down, he wrote me, the loss coming at a moment when it affected ills financial matters to no inconsiderable extent. Could he not presume upon our many years of friendship to the extent of asking a loan of $250, until the insurance companies should settle his claim? I was deeply moved to lean) of his misfortune, and immediately dictated, along with a number of other letters, the following lines to him : “ 'My Dear Sir—I am greatly pained to hear of the calamity which has come upon you. I regret I have not $250 in available funds at present; will send check in a day or two. ’ “Promptly enough the check went, hut with equal promptness it was returned to me, with no word of explanation. I own I was surprised, but concluded he must have received his insurance money, and the circumstance was gradually forgotten. But it was very forcibly recalled to my mind when next I paid a visit to my home, for he did not call upon me, as he had always been wont to do. On the contrary, he shunned a meeting with me. “Imagine my dismay upon finding that the letter I had sent him, in the most kindly spirit possible, contained these words: ‘I regret I have got $250 in available funds; will send check in a day or two. ’ In vain I explained, apologized, implored. To his dying day lie never forgave what he termed my studied and unwarranted affront. “That is what the touch of a finger upon a wrong key did for me, and for years I have never mailed a letter, long or short, without first subjecting it to the most rigid scrutiny. I tell you, sir, it pays to be watchful in this respect. ” —Washington Star.

“Alabama ”. Augustus Thomas’s beautiful play will be the attraction at opera house Tuesday, Nov. 12. There are many beautiful effects in this delightful play, one of them, the result of a little accident, is exceedingly pretty and is worth recounting: When the curtain goes up on the third act of “Alabama”, the fragrant odor of the Magnolia permeates the theater, and each one in the audience turns around and looks at his neighbor wondering where the delicious perfume comes from. They do not realize it comes from the stage. This little bit of realism, if such it may he called, originated with the au thor. While watching the performance the first week in New York, Mr. Thomas occupied a box. In one of the orchestra seats a fashionably attired lady pulled a small vial of cologne from her pocket, and in so doing, dropped it. The vial broke and the scent was plainly noticeable all over the house, not strong, but faintly sweet and seemed in keeping with the beauti ful foliage and hanging moss on the stage. The next day Mr Thomas consulted a chemist and had him prepare several ounces of extract of Magnolia. Just before the curtain went up the next uight, an atomizer spray wae used on the stage, and the odor of Magnolia bloom filled the jtage; when tlie curtain went up. the scent was blown to all parts of the housr. The illusion of a southern night was complete; the moon, the scenery, the negro voices and the magic odor of the Magnolia.

gard to where I got my authority to make an examination of the eyes of all school children in towti'aml county. First, after talking with the county superintendent about the matter he said that he had no objections to haying the examinations made if the children desired it. He also said that he had no objection to the schools dismissing and coming in a body if they w ished to do so. Second, the arrangement made with the citv school board was this: That I was granted the privilege to make the examinations if the parents wished it, and further teachers were instructed to dismiss any r pupil to have the examination made provided the parent would send a note to the teacher requesting the same. Parents are not compelled to have their children’s eyes examined, they can do as they please about it. There is no expense whatever connected with it and parents ate not required to get glasses for their children. I think that the above explanation will put any one right who has failed to understand the matter. E. Shipley,
