The South Band Times, the organ of the Demoaratie party of St. Joseph county, edited by*Juhn~ B. Stoll, says: “The tone and tenor of Mr. Bryan’s speeohes at Greenfield and Plymouth was that of a politician seeking revenge. Its main purpose was to intensify the feeling of his followers and to widen the gap between the two faotions in the Democratic party. Evidently Mr. Bryan is bent on having his wav -or playing ued with the party.”

LOST HIS NERVE.

:: • r—; - ■ , ■ - J Whr It Wm That Blit Pete Failed to Hit the Sheriff. There were thirty men in the White Wolf saloon when the sheriff of Silver county sauntered in to arrest big Pete Thompson fifif murder. Pete was playing a baud In a frame of poker, and after nodding to him the sheriff stood up at the bar and cnlled for a drink. His back was scarcely turned when Pete laid down his cards, pulled his gun and fired six /hots as fast as his finger could pull the trigger. The sheriff never- moved. ' When the smoke had rolled out of the open door and we could see, the sheriff stood in the same position anfß wort* the same smile. One j bullet had burned his cheek; a second ! had grazed his ear; a third had cut I through his shirt collar under the left ear. Big Pete was a dead shot, and yet he had missed his man at fifteen feet. v “Got through, Pete?” asked the sheriff, breaking a silence that was positively painful. “And you—you are not heeled!” gasped Pete as his arm sunk slowly down. “No; come on.” “You didn't bring your guns?” “No: if you are" "through shooting, we’ll go.” Pete laid his two guns down on the table before him and walked to the door and out into the street. Hiahorse was. tied to a post a block away. He ! reached the, .horsey-mounted and then j headed down the long street after the i sheriff, who was giving him not the \ slightest attention. In five minutes the pair were out of sight. “What ailed Pete?” was asked of the barkeeper, who had come, to the door of the saloon. “Lost his nerve,” he brusquely re l plied. i “How do you mean?” “Why, the sheriff coming without a gun and standing there to be idiot lit took ail his sand away and made a wm' man of him.” “Suppose the sheriff-had had a ami?" The man jerked his head toward the field wherein fifteen or twenty victims had been buried and said: “He'd ’a’ bin over thar.” “And will big Pete get clear?” “Likely:.but he’ll have to leave here. The boys have already put him down as N. G.”

WAVES OF WATER.

The Nile is the only river in the world that flows for 1,000 mites without a tributary. Off the Cape of Good Hope waves thirty-eight feet high from trough to crest have been noted. Prismatic lake, in the Yellowstone National park, is the largest body of hot water in the world. Three rivers as big as the Rhine would just equal in volume the Ganges, three Gangeses the Mississippi And two Mississippi the Amazon. The St Lawrence river is frozen four months of the year, and its navigation is so difficult that an average of one steamer a month is wrecked in its w-a-tere. Askel Chin, in Tibet, is the lake which lies at a greater height than any other in the world. Its level is 16,600 feet. The lowest is the Dead sea. 1.200 feet below the sea level.

Not All Reformed.

At a dinner given by a philanthropist to the Society of Reformed Criminals a gentleman complained to liis host midway through the festivities that lie had lost his watch. The host was a man of great ingenuity. He caused all the lights to be turned out. Then he observed: “Some one here has a watch that does not belong to him. If by the time I have counted a hundred it is not placed on the floor in the middle of the room, the police will be sent for.” He counted a hundred, and the lights were turned op again. Thirty-three handsome watches lay in the middle of the room.

It Was Bad.

The other day a young Loudon street arab, having found a bad sixpence, was trying to make use of it at different places, but to no purpose. At last he went into a tobacconist’s and asked for a threepenny cigar. Having got the cigar and also the change, he was leaving the shop when the man called out: “Come back here: it’s a bad one.” “Never mind, sir,” replied the youngster. “I’ll smoke it if it makes me ill.” And he bolted out of the door.—Pearson’s Weekly.

Found It Eajoyable.

Miss Ascum—Did you really attend her wedding? Mias Wry veil—Oh, yea Indeed, and I enjoyed myself Immensely. Miss Ascum—Did you really? Miss Wry veil—Her gown didn’t fit her well at all. and I heard several people aay she looked a perfect fright —Philadelphia Press.

How She Talked.

Diggs Smith’s wife Is deaf and dumb. Biggs—Does she talk with her fingers? Diggs—l guess so. .Smith hasn’t a dozen hairs left In his head.—Chicago News.

Lumping It.

“My coffee is not quite sweet enough.” remarked the new boarder. “Well, If you don’t like It you can lump It” rctort*«d the cheerful Idiot, pushing the loaf sugar his way.—New Fork Times.

Too Rough.

M I wLsb you bad broken tbe news mors gently.” sighed the editor as tbe office boy pled tbe flrst page by dropping tbe farm down a flight of stairs.— Baltimore American.

The Carnegie Library . In worth to the inhabitants of this city and township SIB,OOO when established-on lots 11 and 12. block 7, by popular eubscrip tion of t $1,200 Thd subscribed biioks, $6,800, building SIO,OOO, being ten times the support by oity SI,OOO and township S2OO. Annual support is sure “When a site is provided and paid for.” The buildiDg will be erected, when “a suitable site is provided.” Nearly all'the books are subscribed, and more than half the SI2OO is subscribed for said site. It is you duty to consider where yen live and where your land lies, the value of the library to you and each member of your family, the saving to you in taxation and your good will towards those less able to give. The saving in taxation if the Carnegie gift is thus secured is one mill on the dollar in the city and one fifth as much in the township. If both sites and building are thus secured the saving is at least six mills in the city and more than one mill in the township. If you give now one mill on the dollar plus your local, family and other special advantages it will be as fair as taxation. If you give more it can be known as an aid to those who are less able and willing to give. If you give less it must be known that you are asking alms either from want or geed. We will have a better library if the site is bought and paid for by the inhabitants of oity and lownship because this will show our gratitude f>r the building, for the merger of all libraries for a cessation of begging and from indefinite and unlimited taxation for all the future. Give not less than $1 00 nor more than SIOO.OO for the site. Tbe Board has prepared a statement which you should procure aid study. wtf Committee

The Hygienu of Old Ag»*. We look upon the aged with good reason as having a slender hold upon life, one that may be loosened by a slight shock of injury or disease which, in the young or middle-aged, would serve only as a stimulus to the reparative vital powers. This is a conservative belief, but it was u« g to shielp our loved ones who have fought the, from all influences which might shorten their stay with us. But we must not go too far id our solicitude, for injury may be inflicted and life shorten d by codding the old almost as surely as by coddling, the young, The vital processes in the aged are slow, but they are still exigent. and they may be kept active by ge tie oppb-ition and stimulation. just as they map be increased in childhood and youth by rough methods Dr. Caldwe l’s Syrup Pepsin and Herb Laxative Compound is a boon to the aged and infirm and probably no medicine has accomplished so much, or received as high or as many indorsements from men and women whose extreme age gives them a seemingly slender hold upon life. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin makes perfect digestion and ots gently upon the bowels in an aasy and pleasant manner. Tones up tbe entire system and prolongs fife 500 and $1 bottles. At A. F. Longs.

In whatever, direction the Colorado tourist may choose by rail, if he goes to the mountains his journey is a succession of glorious scenery, varying in the characteristics of placid beauty, grotesque ruggedness, and awe-iu-spiring grandeur. Up the canons are stu pendous walls rising perpendicularly, or gradually sloping back toward greater hills, or. yet again, leaning forward above the chasm’ as if threatening to come tumbling down —projecting great rocks that hang suspended over the train as it glides - smoothly by - a panorama of wonders and grandeur such as belong only to the Rocky Mountains.
