CAN’T ALWAYS TEIL. Two rural maidens rat one day . And talked- in confidential way Of that which runs in girlish head— The sort of man they thought they’d wed. ‘•I do not care for wealth," said Sue, “I want a tiller, honest true— A miner who with muscle might Can keep the wolf of want from sight." "Youfoolish girl!” said Kate; “I’ll reach For man who has the gift of speech; A minister who’ll some day thrill The world with his God-given skill In framing oratoric lines, And Stand the peer of all divines, And draw a salary so great ’Twill raise us to a high estate.” “Well, such a man might do for you, But never would for me,” said Sue. "For preachers’ wives have got to be So pious and so proper, see? A cottage home is all I crave. And if my man should be a slave Of toil, 't would be my one delight To cheer him in his manly tight!" “Some day,” said Kate, “In carriage tine, And in a gown you’ll think divine, Witli man in livery, I'll come To see you in yourcottage home. And then you'll wish, with many a sigh, You'd made achoice so good as I, But, though you envy me. I’ll not Cast slurs upon your humble lot." "Sue caught a miner, sure enough, A muscled man in garbing rough, Who, after years of labor, struck A lead that brought him wondrous luck. And Kate was tied to a sedate Young theolo'gic graduate, Whom she believed would some day stand In greatest pulpit in the land. ***** A gorgeous carriage stands before A country preacher’s humble door, And two old chummies, Sue and Kate, Are kissing good-by atthe gate. The gay steeds prance, and off they go, And Katie sighs and mutters low; “In painting girlish futures—well. You can't sometimes most always tell!" —Denver Post.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent: Oh no! The McKinley Administration has no understanding with England, and does not act for the preservation of English interests. It just happened that the administration bosses forced a caucus of republican Senators to decide to take no action upon the Nicaragua Canal bill, while the Hay-Paunceforte treaty is under consideration by the British government. In other words, a majority of the U. S. Senate informs the world that it has turned the question of whether the Nicaragua Canal shall be provided for at this session over to the British Government. All and all this is one of the most remarkable instances of truckling to a foreign nation in the history of the Senate, and it is not surprising that four republican Senators should have revolted and openly said that they would not be bound by the action of the caucus —the surprising thing is that a majority of them should have been willing to make such an exhibition of themselves. If the British Government wishes to prevent Nicaragua Canal legislation at this session of Congress, it has only to defer making known its action on the treaty, until after the 4th of March. Naturally the Panama lobbyists are jubilant. This is playing right into their hands, As the admistration doesn’t wish to take any more chances, the conferees on the part of the House on the Army bill, have orders to agree to the bill as it passed the Senate. It is expected to go to Mr. McKinley in a day or two, and mouths arealready watering for the nice little commissions that be will distribute under the new law. The Ship subsidy bill has been [latched so as to placate republican opposition, and it is now claimed that it will get the vote of every republican Senator, if it gets voted upon. It is to be considered in the Senate whenever no regular appropriation bills are on hand, for a time, but Senator Aidrich reminded Senator Hanna that the time would be limited when he gave notice that the Finance committee would, during the present week, report the revenue reduction bill. The prediction has been made by a Senator that if the Ship subsidy bill was not passed before the revenue reduction bill, which will have the right of way, got before the Senate, it would not pass at all. While protesting all the time that he would not lie a can id ate, Senator Hanna is constantly laying wires to bring about his nomination for President by the republicans in 1904. His latest move in that direction was to make a bid for the soldiers vote, by announcing his intention to join the G. A. R. If the democratic leaders eau help Hanna get that nomination, they will certainly do so, because of the belief that his nomination by the republicans would assure the election of any democrat. That “Pull” under this administration is stronger than the Civil Service Law is nothing new, but a disgiaceful proof of it has just been given by the appointment of Wm. Hamlett, of Maryland who was forced to resign as a general inspector of the Poet Office De-

partment, for havings hired out his government railroad pass, to be an inspector in the Baltimore Customs House. In other words, a man who has shown his unfit ness for a position under one department of the public service, has been given an equally responsible position in another. The secret of Hamlett’s “Pull” is his ability or his supposed ability to control the negroes of Maryland. Senator Teller said of the Filipino petition, presented by him which he wishes to have printed as a public document, and which is now in the hands of the Senate committee on the Philippines: “My Filipino petition represents what might be called the great middle class of the Philippine island. It is no protest from National Filipino government. There is not in the list of 2.000 and more names, that of one office holder under the Filipino government. No one can charge that the document emanates from Aguinaldo or his followers. It is a sincere and unbiased protest from the business men and respectable citizens of the island against the treatment they are receving from the U. S. and it is in the nature of a petition for redress. I consider that in its way. it is one of the most conclusive documents that has yet been put in the hands of the American people. It is the last word from the main body of educated business-like Filipinos. The original document was, of course, in Spanish. It was delivered to me by Inestizo, himself a most brilliant specimen of the well-educated half-Spanisn and half-Filipino business man. The document has been carefully translated, and every American should have an opportunity to read it. A sensational scandal in the dead letter office of the Post Office Department, has resulted in the dismissal of the Chief in the property of divisons and three clerks under him, and will probably result in the entire re-organization of the dead letter office. The clerks dismissed were guilty of conspiring to get valuable property for nominal prices, by means *of bidding in certain packages, improperly described in the catalog of the annual dead letter sale. One of them made a confession when cornerd with a lot of the improperly described packages in his possession, and uncovered the conspiracy.

TO CURE THE GRIP.

Advice of a Famous Pysician. First and foremost, REST. Take care of yourself. Your already weakened nerves want rest, and must have it. If the attack is severe, go to bed and remain there. More fatalities result from neglect of this precaution than from any other cause. Eat sparingly. Your digestive oranges are in no condition to tak«* care of large quantities of food. Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys to action and open up the pores of the skin. Keep the bowels open with Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver pills, Take three doses of Dr. Miles’ Nervine per day, and if you cannot sleep take an extra dose at bed time. To further control the fever, and overcome the peculiar aches and pains of grip, use Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills. They act quickly and effectually, and no bad effects result from their use. These remedies = tnfve : beeTrtfibtouglily tested more than a million times, and their efficiency is thoroughly established. They never fail to give relief. Dr. Miles’ Remedies can be found at. any drug store, and they are sold on a positive guarantethat first bottle or package benefits or money refunded. “Grip made me very weak and nervous with tightness of and headache. Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills and Nervine gave me quick relief.’’—Mrs. Clarinda Butler, W. Wheeling, O. Funeral cards at The Demix rat office.

MR. SPOFFORD ON BOOKS.

The Really Important Ones Frw to Comparison with the Mass. For a long time Mr. Spofford has practically lived among books. For years he was at the heacbof the congressional library in Washington, and is now assistant librarian at that institution. The really important books, he thinks, bear but a small proportion to the great mass. “Most books are but repetitions, in a different form, of what has already been many times written and printed. Most writers are mere echoes, and the greater part of literature is the pouring out of one bottle into another. If you can get hold of the few really best books you can well afford to be ignorant of-all the rest.” The kind of books which should form the predominant part in the selection of our reading, from Mr. Spofford’s point of view, says the Baltimore Sun, is a question admitting of widelydifferingopinions. Rigid utilitarians, he says, may hold that only books of fact, books crammed full of knowledge, should be encouraged. Others will plead in behalf of lighter reading, or for a universal range. There are many attractive books outside the field of science and outside the realm of fiction—books capable of yielding pleasure as well as instruction. As to fiction, he thinks “it is a. wise plan to neglect the novels of the year and read (and reread in many cases) the masterpieces which have stood the test of flme and criticism, and changing fashions. It is better to read a fine old book through three times than to read three new book* through once.”

In Busy New York.

There is a theory that here more than elsewhere in the world, says the New York Press, does the adage apply that “time is money.” Yet there are occasional instances in the busiest part of New York that go to show how little some people value time. Two dogs, still in the playful stage of puppyhoood, began chasing one another about the fountain in City Hall park yesterday at about two o’clock, when everyone in town is supposed to be at his busiest. Yet there were at least 50 men and as many more boys of the clerk and messenger type who found time to stop all thoughts of business, drop all cares, and for at least ten minutes watch the antics of the puppies. The dogs ware n«t doing anything in particular, b«t there was the barest chance that cae of them in hia efforts to escape the other might tumble into the fountain, and! the crowd of suppoeably bogy faaptar all stopped to see him doji.
