When we first came to Rensselaer, a struggling business man, with hardly one cent to rub against another, we stamped our initials and the date on a copper cent and put it in circulation.

The editor of the Middlebury Independent helped to defeat a banker’s son for town clerk by fighting him through his paper, and now the banker threatens to start the second paper in the town, which is hardly large enough to support one.

Norman Triplett, Ph. D of Worcester, Mass., has been secured to take his place, but the change in date was necessary to secure him. Dyspeptics cannot be long lived because to live requires nourishment. Food is not nourishing until it is digested. A disordered stomach cannot digest food, it must have assistance. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests all kinds of food without aid from the stomach, allowing it to rest and regain its natural functions. Its ele raents are exactly the same as the natural digestive fluids and it simply can’t help but do you good. A. F. Long.

The grounds and buildings are kept in first class, tip top shape, and are as neat as a pin. The stock is well cared for and the whole farm is run in a business way. The inmates ten in number, are kindly treated and well cared for, and their quarters are kept neat and clean. Superintendent Clark has proved to be the right man in the right place and shonld be retained as superintendent as long as he continues to manage the the farm in such a satisfactory manner

A singular instance of what hap pens through technicalities in the law is found in the statement that Judge Marsh, of Jeffersonville, Ind., has ruledL that there is no such office as that of county clerk. The legal title to the position is “clerk of the circuit court.” The term “county clerk” was applied to an indictment against a man for false swearing, and the at torneys raised the point that the constitution of Indiana provides for a “clelk of the circuit court” and not a “county clerk.” Jndge Marsh held that the point was well taken, and the man was released.

Why the Earth Goes Around.

One of the brightest young PortoRicans who figured in the late war ii Senor Miguel Sanchez, who Is now in this country in the interest of the Porto Rican public school system. He was at one time on the Btaff of General Gomez in Cuba, and he tells many incidents concerning that doughty old fighter. “I was skimming one of the New York Sunday newspapers while I was in the general’s headquarters In Cuba,’* said the senor the other day, “and it was the first to reach us for several months. I noticed an article on the newly discovered movements of the earth’s surface. Now, you know the general disliked to have any one do anything without being Invited to take part. He liked to be consulted—to be asked questions—no matter how unimportant they might be, so In reading the article I stopped and asked: “ ‘Now, general, how do you account for the daily revolution of the earth, anyhow?’ “ ‘That’s easy to answer,’’ he replied Instantly, ‘so long as Haiti, Porto Rioo and Cuba are parts of it,’"

Too Much Hygroscopic Moisture.

When a cultivated American picks up some of these English novels and reads the description of the manners and speech of rich United Staters who go abroad he gets hot in the collar. It ia degrading to find how a lot of uneducated new rioh who have traveled have given foreigners ideas that we speak like levee hands and roustabouts and have an accent as wide as the Ohio at high water. Even the friends of these people who are guilty of assault and battery on the English las* guage are doomed to suffering. Here, according to every cultivated and polished man of the world, is an atrocity committed by a member of- a tourists’ party: “Did you go to Venice V asked an acquaintance, who wished to make himself, agreeable to the newly returned American. “To Venice? Ah, yes," replied the idiot, “but I saw little of the town. You see, when we got there it had been raining and the streets were under water, so we merely stopped over night and left in the morning without waiting for the place to dry off.” Then the polished man heaved % regular bridge of sighs and realized that Byron had missed a great deal in not meeting this friend.

On the Mercy of the Court.

A youthful graudate of the Harvard law school came west and opened an office in a small frontier town. His first client was a man accused of stealing a horse. The case came to trial before an old judge and a Jury composed of bewhiskered ranchers, and though there was no doubt of the guilt of the defendant, he had a regiment of friends who swore he was forty miles off when the horse was stolen. TMb evidence the prosecution was unable to break down, and the young lawyer plumed himself on a certain acquittal. The jury retired, and five minutes later was back in court. “Have you agreed on a verdict?” asked the judge. “We her," answered the foreman, as he lifted a gun he carried on his hip. “We find the defendant not guilty, an’ recommend the defendant’s lawyer, owin’ to his youth an’ innocence, to the mercy of the court” A Vole* from the Gallery. At an interminably long perform* ance of “Monte Cristo,” at San Francisco, with Charles Fechter in the character of the hero, the curtain rose for the last act at a quarter of 1 in the morning, Fechter was discovered sitting in a contemplative attitude. He neither moved nor spoke. Just then a clear, sad voice in the gallery ex* claimed, “I hope we are not keeping jam up. sir!”
