Lim ESciilly oalPolitics ‘ ,Lﬁ 1'1.4:-?“_":‘ "y ad

The forum of old Lim Jucklin's wisdom was the horse-block in front of the crossroads store. In the rural south age means wisdom. Merely to have ‘seen the seasons come and g 0 is knowledge, and .when age talks.not only yoﬁit(;h but middle age must be content to listen. Cultivation is mere: book-learning, hearsay, the rumor of an unsubstantial truth, as if the book were not the experience: of ma.n’si mind. The wellread and traveled, if not yet out from under the contempt of “immature years,” must sit respect-ful-dumb while an“old man who may never have crossed the fine of his county consents to give - an. hour’s homily upon the affairs of the world. But with age there sometimes comes a mellow and a sweet ripening of that balf philosophical humor which musty books bound in the hide ‘of some ancient fatted calf delightfully tell us is almost wholly an Anglo-Saxon heritage. But old Lim had been out of his county.. He had traveled into the north, the land where every man was for himself. In Chicago he had bought a pair of *gold-rimmed” spectacles which some clergyman must have lost, and in a modest little transaction he had permitted a Michigan fruit farmer to pluck off a patch of his well-seasoned skin. And while these transactions were reckoned among his. accomplishments, they turned somewhat pale when compared witly the fact-that he could come nearer zuessing the weight of a hog or the height of a mule than any man in North Carolina. It is on record that he was a believer in the Book from “kiver to kiver,” and in his neighborhood it 4s known that once he walloped one of the Harvey boys for tittering at a baptising. He furnished the oak slab that had been fashioned into the mourner’s bench at Siloam meeting house. His wife gave to the circuit ‘rider more pairs of wool socks than any other woman in the community. ' And the old man himself had tfen known not indeed to shout durfng a camp meeting, but afterward to call hogs with more fervor than was his accustomed habit. Yet, notwithstanding these unmistakable tokens of a pious life, he gave to/game roosters a devotion that smacked of fanaticism. "Through the wind-howl of a winter’s night—through the iey -thicket he would shoulder his way, mile after mile, to be present at a contest. He lamented the fate of the de\f:ated, but gloried over the victor. Buf he never wagered a penny. That would have been irreligious. With others the fichting of chickens was a sport. With him it was an emotion. So, with tis moral establishment well known and with his wisdom unquestioned, whenever of a Saturday. afternoon’ he took his seat on the old horse-block, there was always an audience waitfng, not out of respect for his years; but looking for amusement. .

“They have about settled the coming election,” said he, as he parted the tails of his brown jeans coat and sat down. “Don’t believe I ever saw an election comin’ that wa'n’t already: settled. And it would look like there wan’'n’'t any use of havin’ but one side; but, yet; somehow the other side always does putty well when the votes are counted. The man/ that -understands aritumetic is bad in polities. He likes to figger, and a man that does usually figgers too much. It's an old sayin’ that figgers don’t lie, and that may be true, but sometimes they are found in the wrong place. “Both of the great political parties are wise, for they always nominate the right man. And iwhat a fine pres- | ident he would have made if he had only been elected. And the minute} the other candidate is. elected he. ‘ceases to be a politician and becomes a statesznan. But death has made more statesmen than office ever did. In this life a great reward is, offered to rascality, and that’s the reason there are so many_politicians. Enough vetes would make any man great, but not enough will turn the wisest man ifnto a fly-up-the-creek. When a man that is looking for an office begins to tell me that he’s a sincere American I believe him. I believe he wants the place, and in this way the lives of some men illustrate an eternal truth. They eternally want something. Running for office is a hard habit to break, but when a man has been beaten a time or two for president he cools down might’ly. Some of our smartest men have been defeated for president, and among them was Henry Clay, but he oughtn’t to have expected the office when old Andy Jackson and the Lord were against him. And it is naturally to be supposed that the Lord still has a good deal of influence durin’ election time, but it is a question whether or not He always uses it.

“Ever since I can recollect the country has been goin’ to ruin. It seems that the constitution was born ruined and has been imposed upon ever since. But it is a mighty hard thing to tear to pieces. But if the right man isn't elected this time not only the constitution but the whole country will have to go on crutches. Old Uncle John Moss is the oldest man in the county and he says that the world is a failure, and if this is true America must go along in with the general no accountness of it all But I noticed that last year my bottom field ralsed more ¢orn to the acre than for several years past, and as Jong as this continues to be the case I ain’t in a fitten frame of mind to believe in all the bad news I hear. No matter how much geod news you get, bad news is sure to foliow. Some time ago old man Joyner threatened that if his candidate wa'n’'t elected president he would pick up and move out of the neighborhood. His man wa'n't elected and he moved over across the ‘his man was again beaten, he moved ‘back. So, I have noticed that about 811 there is to the average man's po-

litical disappointments i{s that in his revenge he thinks he has done something notable when he hasn’t.

“About the worst lickin’ I ever got was shortly after I had cast my first vote. There were two men running hot for constable. I half-way promised to vote for one of them, a fellow’ named Henk. The election was held by word of mouth, and when the time came .l couldn’t remember Henk's name and voted for Jones because it was easier. And that is about as much intelligence as some people show in their voting now. They vote the way that looks the easiest. What did Henk do? I met him at a sawmill and he took a piece of scantling to me, an’ by the time I made up my mind what to do he had me whipped. A man ought always have his mind fully made up as to what he will do when the worst comes. I managed to tell him that I didn’t fully promise to vote for him, that I had only half made up my mind, and he ’lowed, ‘Yes, and that is the reason I only half kill you now.’ v

“If you see a fight coming it is better to make up your mind to run than not to be firmly settled on some particular mode of action. The bravest man may appear . like a coward if he’s unsettled in his mind, and while he is still unsettled the other fellow may overpower him. , It is mind that fights. As long as a rooster's mind is steady his head is steady, but the minute he begins to look around he discovers a chance to run.” If he had fully made up his mind not to run he

His boat is. bigger than this and is furnished better, but if I do say it, he cannot mind helm as well as I, for many and many a couple has he ‘spilled out on either side of the rock of divorce. Are you ready, sir? Shall I cast off? - :

“Cast off, my hearty,” say you. “We are in for a long and perhaps an adventurous voyage, but with you and with her on board I'll be bound it Wil be a happy one.” : All of which is a pretty little allegory and I made it up out of my own little head. _ And it's true, every word of it. (OaOO) : : : HE other day I : had been going on at a pretty : rapid rate, denouncing the ill--2 gotten money of . the American “robber ' _barons,” ; saying that 1 / would rather dle ¥ Il i poor but honest - )| than be as zich g oK as—l can’t think i o A of his name, but e N, De is respected v || N} by the unthinking 78 C((‘ 4! everywhere.

Why, I almost gasped for breath. He is worth millions, and I wondered how he could have heard of me, who owe the dollar and a quarter that I call my own. : . ;

Now, if ever anybody. made his money sinfully he ‘did. He stands high up amongz the Standard Oil men and I yield to no one in contempt for his methods, although I will admit that his manmers are.perfect and he certainly seems to know people outgide of his world. Z

wouldn’t have found the opportunity. Some one thought to be wisg _said that 'a good rnn was better than a bad stand, but it is not true. As long as you think it is good to run you'll keep on runnin’. And when you run once it is an easy matter to make up your mind that to stand is bad. Whenever a man is branded as a coward all the other cowards want to take a whack at him. Therefore it is better to be whipped every day in the week than to run once, for with the comin’ of the next week the situation is mighty apt to undergo a change. Bad stands stood get better all the time. But when a man ' has once been whipped he is never the same afterward. It is better to have a broken head than a broken spirit. Without spirit the strongest man is but a worm. A

“Success may after 4 while enable the candidate to tell the truth. but it seems that when a man breaks into politics he breaks in as a liar. It may be almost unconscious on his part, but it ain’t long till he's sayin’ things that he don't believe. And what appears °to grieve him is the fact that other people don’'t either. If your son-in-law is hesitating between politics and the penitentiary, remember that if he goes to the penitentiary you won't have to take care of him. Many an honest man has had a chance to become a politician and didn't. A politician’s smile miay be bright, and g 0 is ‘a sunbeam when it falls on a puddle where the.hogs have been wallerin’.” i (Copyright, by Opie Read.)

I want to find struggling musicians ard help them to an education. And I particularly' want to give you a house and lot and some shares of railroad stock that will yield you an income of $lO,OOO a year.” : : Well, you may imagine I did not know what to do. However the man may have come by his money, he was certainly moved by kigdly feelings in wishing to share with me. :

I hesitated and hemmed and hawed and thought of my family and of the good uses to which I might put the money. :

And then I remembered that my ancestors were Puritans, and that not one of them in all the nine generations ever told a lie or did anything wrong in any way whatsoever, and I took a long breath and said: “Thy money perish with thee. I'll have none of it.” And then I woke up. ° ©O-©-@® KNOW itisnone : - of my Dbusiness, but are you going to let Jame grow up with () that unpleasant 9,’;2"—5} : _voice?

The boat ’Was full and every one was talking, but Jane’s voice rose above all the lothers and almost every one looked up. .

“I'l venture to say that most of them were reminded of a beautiful macaw. : :

For there is no denying that Jane is a handsome girl. : ; And she’s a bright girl and she says bright things, but they are all screeched at you. If Jane marries let her pick out a phlegmatic man, unless she uses a file on that voice. It would be cruelty to animals to let her marry a sensitive soul, say a painter or a writer, because to be shut up in the same cage day after day with the most beautiful macaw imaginable would be to have one’s nerves de-insulated. : Shg may be disobedient and outgrow it; she may be disrespectful and outgrow it. But if your daughter has an unpleasant voice she won't outgrow it unless you keep at her all the time., . (Copyright, by James Pott & Co.) Not So Bad as Expected. * ; Many things seem greater by imagination than they are in effect. I have passed a good part of my age in a perfect and entire health. I say not only entire but sprightly and wanton. This state is so full of verdure, jollity and vigor, made the consideration of sickness so horrible to me, that when I came to experience it I found the attacks faint and easy, in comparison of what I had feared.—Mpntaigne,

Pour the water into the cloth and it will come out vure.—Delineator.

MARRIAGE AS AN INSTITUTION. Regulations Concerning Matrimany - Derived from Canon Law. There could hardly be a more profitable nmpert'aking -for a young man and young woman who contemplate matrimony than a study of marriage as a historic institution. It would show them better than - almost anything else could do their relations to society and to the state, says the Youth’s Companion, and would give them a personal understanding of what the minister means when, in the beginning of the cerermony, he says, “not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly.” The laws of marriage in all Christian countries are derived from the canon law, that is, the law established by the Christizn church in the Middle Ages. This law was based upon the ‘ Roman civil law, influenced to a coneiderable degree by Teutonic ideas. Marriage laws are alsq influenced, and In some countries controlled, in reBpect of marriage within certain degrees of relationship or affinity, by the laws of Moses, contained in the book of Leviticus. Gradually some of these prohibitions have been relaxed. In the recent case of the deceased wife's sister act of England it was a matter of controversy whether the Mosaic law forbids such marriages. The purpose of all statute law, as applied to marriage, is now and has. always been primarily the protection of the state, and secondarily the safeguarding of the rights of the contracting parties. The Roman Catholic church regards marriage as a sacrament. The Protestant churches of western Europe reject this theory, and in order to lessen or prevent secret marriages, demand that the consent of parents be obtained. : Ilven in Roman Catholic countries to-day marriage is governed by civil legislation. The civil marriage has ben said, indeed, to be the great innovation of the nineteenth century. In most Catholic countries two services are performed. The religious ceremony complies with the theory that marriage is a sacrament, the civil ceremony with the theory that it is a ~contract. In these countries the civil ceremony alone makes the marriage valid. The church ceremony ' alone ‘ does not. ° . i - Reminded Him of Home. i - William G. King of Kansas City recently told of the experience of a Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough i weather. “One morning,” began Mr. King, ; “this Kansan went out on deck when a ;big gale was blowing. Nobody was in sight except the captain. i “‘Go below there!” the captain shouted.

“The passenger looked about to see to whom he was talking. ““You mean me? he yelled back, when he saw there was no one else in sight." “‘Of course, I do; go below,’ and the captain came alongside. { ““Well, I guess not,’ protested the Kansan; ‘l'm up here to see how one of your mountain-high waves and ‘terrific gales” compare with what we have in Kansas in the- way of cyclones. This ain’t a patch to what I've seen out our way.’ : - “A big wave broke over the deck, sweeping the Kansan aft. They picked ‘him up with a broken leg, a twisted shoulder, a sprained wrist and his face looking as if it had been dragged backward through a briar patch. When' he came to he saw the captain. “‘By gravy, cap,’ he said, feebly, ‘that reminded me of home, only it was a dern sight wetter.””

Heroic Test, but Sure.

A sufferer from nervous diseases had been in the hands of the doctor for many months. Last week he declared his positive conviction that he was cured. :

“I think, myself, that you are again as sound as a dollar,” said the specialist, “but before I pronounce 'you entisely well I wish to subject you to a final test. Here are two books. Read one of them to-night for about three hours before you go to bed, and the other to-morrow night. If, when you go to sleep, you dream about the stories you have just read, if you live through the scenes again and see and talk; with the characters, you will have to come back for further treatment. But if, on the other hand, you either do not dream at all or else dream about something entirely different from these books, you are a well man.” !

The stories provided were of the hair-raising variety, calculated - to make a deep impression upon any man, nervous or otherwise, but the patient laid them down at the end of the three-hours’ session and sought a dreamless couch. As the result of that test of nerves the . doctor pronounced him cured. Yo

Playing with a Boy.

Last summer the cyclone that passed over a portion of "Alabama found a 16-year-old boy named Albert Horsford driving along the highway in a buggy. He heard and saw the storm coming, but could not get out of its way. He remembers being picked up and whirled round and round, and the next thing he knew he was in the river and hanging to the horse’s tail. . The horse and boy landed on the bank, but when the buggy and the groceries in it were searched for they could not be found. The harness had been blown off the horse, and the boy’s hat and coat were gone, and he says he doesn’t like that sort of playmate. The same rush of wind landed a cow in a treetop, and in struggling to get down and see what it was all about she fell and broke her back. : Fate of a Tell-Tale. Mamma—Oh, Ronald!

MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR.

Professor’s Son Translated Father'l Speech Into the Vernacular.

.A college professor, in company with his son, was énjoying a walk in the country, when he met an old farmer. It had been a very wet season, and the professor, thinking to start the conversation in a way that would prove interesting to the farmer, remarked: “There has been a. rather abnormal precipitation of late.” i The farmer seemed somewhat em‘barrassed, and the professor’s son, who used a different vernacular, though he was a student in the college to which his father was attached, attempted to straighten out the matter. Drawing the farmer to one side, he sald in a superior way: ““fhe governor means that we've been having a devil of a lot of rain.” —Harper’s Weekly. MACHINE-GROUND PAINT. Occasionally one hears the ‘“handmixed” paint of the painter slightingly spoken of as ‘unscientific’ and “not thoroughly mix2d.” The facts are all on the side of the painter and his handprepared paint. - It is the most “scientific” paint there is, because it is made on the spot to suit the- particular purpose for which it is to be used. . It is as scientific as a good doctor’s prescription. If the palnter did not mix it thus it would lbe as unscientific as a patent medi‘cine. Moreover, the paint which a }good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and pure linseed ’ oil. If he does not mix it himself he

is not sure what is in it, and consequently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a misstatement. White Lead as made by National L.ead Company is thoroughly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent. of pure Linseed oil in the factory, malk-: ing a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush. : The thorough incorporation of pigment and oil has already been accomplished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure white lead is a great advantage to both painter and house-owper. National Lead Company will send a tester free to anyone interested.

- NEARLY 300,000 IN ISBT.I ABOUT SIXTY . THOUSAND FROM | THE UNITED STATES. 1 Now that it is known that in the | year just closed nearly sixty thou- ! sand from the United States declared . their intention of making their homes in Canada, it might not be out of place to search for some reasons that | would bring this about. These people " are but following the example of the | fifty-five or sixty thousand who did the same shing the year previous, and an almost equal number who the year before that but followed the example | of the thousands of the year preced- | ing. An excellent climate, certain and | positive crops of grain of all kinds, good markets for their produce, land —and good land, too— at low prices, | easy terms of payment, (not forgetting the 160 acres of land given free by the Government, particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent | whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about) and then the splendid social conditions. The situation is | pretty well sized up by a writer in one f ‘ of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: “Those of us i who made good in the States,” interjected another settler as if to con-' tinue the story of his neighbor, ‘“have | had it easy from the start; a little money is a mighty good thing on coming into a new country. But those who make an entry, or even buy lands at low rates, are able to square things ’ in two or three seasons’ crops. There | are hardships in building shanties, - and then with increasing prosperity . getting things into shape for better homes. But affairs go much as in the | States. We have the largest liberty io | the world; there is more home rule m | the Provinces than in the several | states of the Republic. Taxes are light and with only a few million people west of Winnipeg we don’t get in ‘each other’s way. One’s friends over the line probably thought we would not 3 live through the“w‘integ; and while it | is cold, real cold, it is free from the |'moisture experienced in the east. | Schools are good as encouraged by ! the Government; the enterprising | American promoter and Yankee drum- | mer see to it that we take notice of | the latest improvements and best agri- | cultural machinery.- Altogether we are | as near to affairs as we would be on | our own farms in the States. Winnil{ peg bears the same relation to us as | Chicago did at home; and Edmonton ' with the surrounding region advances | a 8 Omaha did in the days when we . were as young as the boys yonder. | We get together much as they did in i the granges ov-_er.the border; the gov- | ernment has established experimental 1 schools of agriculture, and progressin | every line is stimulated. This is a | great region for grazing,” we hear the i Calgary citizen continuing, “and then | with' building elevators of wheat at 'l cne dollar a bushel, many of us find ] time to go over to the live stock exhibition in Chicago or visit old friends I during the course of the winter. Every man is taken for what he is worth or for what he can raise;' and in this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to -show our old friends that we are made of the right stuff—that we are chips of the old block who built up the American West.”
