With all the rain of the past six weeks the cisterns have not an abundant supply of water. Everywhere people are complaining of leaky cisterns. If you get them to fix the time when they first noticed their cisterns were leaking you will find it was soon after the earthquake last fall. There is another result of that earthquake which comparatively few persons have attributed to it. House doors which never before failed to close as they should, since then have either closed with difficulty or will not stay closed. The quake shifted the hanging of the door.

The girls and young women of the city have adopted what is known as the Indianapolis style of holding their hands. It Is to place them on their hips and this is done whether standing or walking. The proportion of those who present a graceful appearance is about the same as the proportion of women bicycle riders who present a graceful appearance on the wheel

The Good Citizens are again holding meetings and resolving but it remaius to be seen if any one of them will step to the front and appear as the prosecuting witness in a case against a saloonkeeper. It is more unlikely that any of them will appear as the prosecuting witness against a "'person who violates the law by renting propelty to be used for unlawful purposes.

Indeed, it is a fact that the Good Citizens' meetings are participated in by some men who knowingly do that very thing and collect an exhorbitant rent because the property is used for unlawful purposes. Some years ago when there was a crusade against public gambling in the city a man who was prominent in the reform movement solicited business in his line among the gambling houses. It is this sort of sharn "gooduesa" on the part of men who have no small vices but are willing to

J•vhich

irofit indirectly by the vices of others, disgusts people who claim to be only as good as they are and brings into contempt citizens' movements to enforce laws as to whose enforcement there should not be any doubt so long as they are in statutes, and makes possible a condition of public sentiment that permits of a serious discussion as to whether or not an officer of the law would lest perform his sworn duty.

The latest attempt to make Fairbanks appear before the public as consummate polit ician, is a story to the effect that he alone saved the Harrison administration from utter neglect in the resolutions adopted at St. Louis. The story is told to the discredit of General Wallace, the mention of whose name as

A

JUI

possible candidate

for the senatorship has been sufficient to start the attacks on him by the Fairbanks tools. General Wallace was a member of the committee on resolutions and it is sought to convey the Impression that the general had neglected the great Republican president whose administration was the ablest this country has had since Lincoln. In the amusing candor of the blundering Fairbanks campaign. It. is told how Fairbanks had caused to be incorporated in the platform a paragraph commending that administration, because he was known to have been a Gresham man and opposed to Harrison that the midnight effort was jf smart politics, etc.. etc., as if he could, by a perfunctory act of this nature, wipe out his record as one of the Greslmm clique, hnostly composed of men who had axes to grind in Gresham's court. When Fairbatiks, who came into the state long years

After I*ew Wallace and Ben Harrison had been fighting the Republican battles shoulder to shoulder, undertakes to displace General Wallace as a friend of Harrison, simply betrays that degree of shortsighted political sagaclaty which is making hltn the laughing stock of the state And has caused the Richmond Item to dub

The Remarkable Fairbanks." As a sr of fact it can be said that Mark in sending word to General Harrirecently did not select Fairbanks as he messenger, but did select Hiram Hrownlee whom, fur the second time, Fairtanks had rudely elbowed aside that he himself might 1*? more in view, Mr. Hanna told Mr. Brownlee to say to all Republicans in Indiana that Mr. McKinley recogttkUtes no factions and makes no promises.

Mr. Brownlee was a member of be notification committee and ordinary •urte*T on Fairbanks'* part would have msed him to yield lo him, but Instead he *«ponded for the state and a sorry speech it was.

pression of the make-up variety, the kind adapted for posing on a platform, said was that the Republican party would not straddle on the money question and he said it a dozen times in as many minutes. Just as if in his speech at St. Louis he had not dodged the word "gold" as he had in the resolution adopted at Indianapolis, which resolution, by the way, is now known to have been copied from the Tennessee platform. Well, Brownlee is back in the state and is an avowed candidate for the senatorship. Since the incident at Canton there has been a Republican nomination for the senate in the Anderson district and Fair ban ks's man was defeated by a man who says he is for Brownlee. It may be remarked that both Wallace and Brownlee are on the best terms with Mr. McKeen, and they are determined that so far as lies in their power Fairbanks shall not be elected senator.

The old question as to the relative merit of a campaign of stump-speaking vs. use of newspapers is again up for consideration by party managers, and with the usual result that the managers will give the preference in spending their money to hurrah meetings, hired paraders, uniformed at great expense, and red-fire enthusiasm. Of course the managers will expect the party newspapers to do everything asked of them, in addition, and free gratis for nothing, as the boys say. One of the impressions of the party manager is that campaign time is harvest time for the party newspaper. He supposes people buy enough more papers to make the proprietor rich in one campaign. A rampant party man buys a copy of a paper containing a speech and goes away from the office feeling that the nickels of the great mass of party men enrich the publisher. Perhaps the reporting and publication of that speech cost ISO, and the extra sale of papers amounted to $1.50. The chances are that in the matter of extra telegraph tolls and reportorial service, not to count in the cost of extra type-setting and paper, the average newspaper in the smaller cities and in larger towns spends ten times as much as it receives in catering to the wishes of party managers. The party managers do not favor buying extra copies of the newspaper, and if they do they will want them at cost price, but they will spend hundreds of dollars paying heelers and buying fireworks without attemptipg to economize in such outlays of the campaign funds. If a newspaper publisher should give $500 or $1,000 in cash to a campaign fund, and have it understood that he wpuld run his paper at no greater expense than in any other six months of the year, he might impress some of the fellows who are forever finding fault with a party paper that he, as the publisher, is perhaps the henviest contributor iu the town to his party's cause.

The Indianapolis 'Journal the other day quoted a remark by ex-United States Treasurer Huston that a campaign of education on the money question and other issues, such as this campaign must necessarily be because it isn't a year to make men stand up in party line and be counted, can be carried on more effectively in the newspapers than by stump speaking or other oratorical efforts. The Journal said this view is urged by retiring political managers upon their successors, but that the new leaders do not always profit by the advice, but attempt to reach the desired end by carrying out various preconceived notions of their own. It is true, as the Journal says, that stump speakers, fireworks, etc., have uses of their own in arousing enthusiasm, but they have less and less effect every year, because party lines are not to be drawn so easily as they used to be, as witness the mighty reversals of the past eight years. Men are reading more than they used to do, and asserting an independence that scares the party rallier. Within the past ten years the number of daily newspapers printed outside the city circulated in Terre Haute has trebled, but the population haa not increased more thin 35 per cent. It would seem that the veriest tyro, in observing public sentiment, would gather wisdom from such a fact, but the average party manager will have none of the newspaper campaign if he has to pay for it. The chances are that he will prefer to spend money in some manner which will be seen of all men, and thereby great will be his glory individually. If the money be spent on newspapers, though it accomplish the purpose ten times better, the managers will not be glorified. Generally they like to have rival parades and beat the other fellows in numbers. These demonstrations cost a great deal of money, much more than the public understands them to cost. One here some years ago cost upward of three thousand dollars, and it didn't make a vote. All it was gotten up for was to lieat the one the other fellows had the week before.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to he incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable.

SWEET MYSTERIES.

Slowly the seeds in the garden are growing— Glad homilies! Tides, set in motion by winds briskly blowing,

Pause ere they rise.

The nestling shall rise and aspire to heaven a gate. And the butterfly, though in a shroud, he must wait in Jim surmise, '•id For all things shall rise.

Gently kind spring has awakened the flowersSweet mysteries! Bwiftly the grab an the wing, with new powers,

To happiness flies.

Ever with refluent wave and strong motion. Landward now march the forces of ocean.. Grand auguries 1

For all things do rise.

Inthe world visible lurks the invisible, Making men wise, Telling of Messed truths plainly perceptible

To lovelit eyes

Telling of heaven and the happy tomorrow Telling of Joy with no vestige of sorrow And of bright skies,

Where love never dies. —C. P. Wilson in New York Son.

HALF A MILLION.

I had been in the dry goods business ten years or more and had drudged all thajfc while, winter and summer, without a holiday, exoept Christmas and New Year's day and the Fourth of July, when one summer, calculating my profits, I made up my ihind that I oottld afford to enjoy myself for once as other people did—cut the shop outrignt for awhile and spend a week or so in the country. Trade was dull, and I was dull too. So as Dobbins' aunt—Dobbins is my head clerk—had a house at Shadyslope and took a boarder or two and was anxious to fill her unoccupied rooms that summer, I gave my name to Dobbins to fill up the list and ran down there with my trunk and bag about the 1st of July.

I felt that it was an honor to Dobbins' aunt as well as to Dobbins, but I made up my mind to be affable and not to make them more uncomfortable than I eould. No matter what your position in life, it is very wrong to put on airs, and I never do it "Tell them not to put themselves out on my account," I said to Dobbins, "but to treat me just^as they do the other boarders," and Dobbins said he would. "Puff of Puff & Co.," I said when I met the aunt. "Don't disturb yourself on my account. I am quite simple in my habits."

She said she wouldn't, though I could see it was not every day that the head of a firm came to Shadyslope. They had three or four other people there, a few who taught music and composed some, you know, and an artist and a doctor and a few who wrote novels, but nobody of any importance.

When I sat down to the table that night, I put them all at ease at once. "I distinctly desire it to be understood that I don't want to disturb any one," I said. 'Go on just as you have been doing. I want relaxation, and it will amuse ma Simple pleasures" are very charming when one is weary with application to more important matters.''

Then I bowed. But you can't expect everything of people not up to the mark. Two or three laughed—Why I don't know.

It was very pleasant there—particularly pleasant My landlady had a daughter, quite a charming creature, with eyes like bluebells and a voice like a canary. She used to sing a good deal with the music man. The moment that girl looked at me she appreciated me.

Before the day was over she was desperately in love with me, and when a creature like that gives yon her heart, how can you look coldly on her?

Far be it from me to win the affections of an innocent girl, knowing as I do that I have a position in the world and must marry with due consideration of tile fact, but knowing what emotions I had awakened in her bosom I felt obliged to be kind to her. We walked together. We rode, we sung. I felt that it was wrong, but my feelings carried me away. I often thought to myself, "If that girl's father had been in the wholesale line and had left her well off, what bliss would have been mine!" But he was nothing but a lawyer and had scarcely left a penny. Excelsior is my motto. Large retail should always aspire to a connection with wholesale. And Miss Briggs of Briggs & Bounce smiles very sweetly when she bows to your humble servant

Alas, who shall control the heart's affections? Evelina's beauty and her devotion touched my soul too deeply. On the 1st of September, when trade was growing brisk, I began to feel that it was better for the peace of both our hearts that I should fly. I should forget the dream in a little while. But she, poor child, I feared that she would never forget ma "Adieu," I said as I shook hands with her. "Perhaps we shall never meet again.,"

She rallied her face away frbm me. Her emotions overcame her. And I took the next train for the city.

I entered again into the turmoil of trade. It was brisk. But nothing could make me happy. I accused myself of trifling with the affections of an angel She loved me, I thought, and I have broken her heart—I who secretly adore her.

I lost my appetite. Igrewthip. When I saw fair creatures of her age bending over the counter, my mind flew back to her, lovelier than alL When Mrs. Briggs' daughter smiled upon me, I thought how plain she was and how adorably beantiful was Evelina.

At last—it was in fOctober—my head clerk claimed a holiday. "I shall spend it with my aont and Evelina," he said. I sighed. "A beautiful girl," amid "Yes," said he, blushing ai the compliment to the family, I peresuma "The loveliest girl I ever knew, and a lucky one too." "Lockyr* said "Yes," said ha "In iipur from this time she will be a very rich woman. Old grandfather left her everything

come of age or marry, and he was worth $500,000." "Half a million!" I cried.

My head clerk nodded. "Visit your aunt and cousin when you will," I said, "and don't return until you feel quite rested. You never mentioned to me before, Dobbins, that your grandfather left $500,000." "You see it wasn't left to ma "he said and went off. "Half a million! Miss Briggs was not worth that A wholesale business was the thing to be connected with, of course, but when the heart is touched we are willing to sacrifice all elsa I will fly to your side, Evelina," I soliloquized. "I will recompense you for your hours of grief by telling you how I adore you!"

I pictured the scene to myself. I saw her as she confessed her love and fainted in my arms, and that evening I ran down to Shadyslope to offer my heart and hand to Evelina.

I arrived after dark. The house was yery quiet, and as I advanced I reflected that my sudden appearance might agitate Evelina too terribly. I must announce myself cautiously. I stole forward on tiptoe to reconnoiter.

Two forms were seated on the porch— a faint gleam of moonlight revealed them to me—a lady with her cheek reposing upon a gentleman's shoulder, his arm about her waist They were my head clerk, Tom, and his Cousin Evelina. I stood as one petrified. They were talking of ma "He really thought I was smitten, Tom," said Evelina. "He flirted with me terribly." "Didhedare"—began Tom. "Didn't he know"— "Of course I did not tell him I was engaged to you," said Evelina. 'Why, Tom, you couldn't be jealous of such'a fellow—a man with no idea beyond his counter."

Then Tom kissed her. I waited for no mora Fortunately 1 caught the down train. At 12 o'clock I was in the city. At the depot I met Simpkins about to start for Albany. "Simpkins," I said, "I've heard you speak of a troublesome nephew you desired to provide for." "Confound him, yes," said Simpkins. "My head clerk's place is vacant," I said. "Tell him to oome to ma "Thank you," said Simpkina

I waited for no thanks, I strode away and wrote Dobbins that his services were no longer required.

I have been married a year to Miss Briggs, and her father failed five months ago. Simpkins has just been arrested for embezzling sundry sums of money, and yesterday I passed Tom Dobbins and his wife in the street She is excessively pretty—lovelier than ever— and I feel quite sure, despite all that I overheard, that her heart is still mine in secret. Of course she could not admit it, not knowing I returned the sentiment But when I remember how much we were together I feel sure it must be so, and that two hearts were broken. Quite a romantic story mina Don't you think so?—Exchange.

It has remained for ail English judge to officially and legally establish the ruling that lying is not wrong, at least it is not sufficiently immoral to justify an employer in dismissing a servant An east end shopkeeper discharged his errand boy, who sued him for a week's wages in lieu of notica The man justified himself by saying that he found that the boy told lies. "Nonsense!" remarked Judge Bacon, "All boys tell lies, more or lesa It is a habit that is not confined to them." "But it is wicked," pleaded the shopkeeper. "Judgment for the plaintiff, with costs," replied the judga—New York Sun's London Letter.

Unlike most poets, and in this resembling his contemporary Turner in painting, Shelley began with no special love of color, but developed it with his general development The chief character of Shelley's color is that it is always mingled with light and movement His is "a green and glowing light like that which drops from folded lilies in winch glowworms dwell." It is translucent color, proceeding from some "inmost purple spirit of light," and he seems to be always looking through a rainbow hued cascade. A curious feature in his use of color is the evidently unconscious repetition of the same word within a few lines. The color seems to flash before him and disappear. His colors are fluid, opaline, iridescent. In this, again, as in the "Witch of Altas," strongly resembling Turner's lator use of color, they make "a tapestry of fleecelike mist," or "woven exhalation underlaid with lambent lightning fire."

No poet has ever used fire so extensively. "Men scatfcely know how beautiful fire is," he says. 'Each flame of it is as a precious stone dissolved in ever moving light" He finds the semblance of flame in the unlikeliest plaoes, even in water, for the dew in a flower is like fire, even in the solid marble, for the pyramid of Cestus is a flame. Everywhere he sees oolor fused with light and in perpetual movement. The whole visible universe is "a dome of many colored glass," which "stains the white radiance of eternity." Shakespeare had hinted that such was his conception of the world, bt|t Shelley worked it out with a convinced sincerity and daring imaginative insight which seem part of the very texture of this fascinating personality whose fit emblem is the flame of the funeral pyra —Contemporary Review.

An Automatic Image of Satan. There arc many curiosities in Paris which it is not given to everybody to sea Thus in the old Cluny museum, on the Boulevard Saint Michel, there is it most realistic presentment of his sutauic majesty inclosed in an artistically carved case. The exterior of this article of furniture, for suoh it is, is decorated with a finely painted head of the Saviour, but on touching a spring the picture recalling heaven is replaced by the figure of the evil one. Satan is seen inside a niche advancing with terrible grinmecs, while at the samo time a sort of musical box or small organ inside tho case emits tempestuous sounds.

The figure of satan in the Musee Cluny is only shown with the groateht reluctance, as the conservators ordered it to be kept hidden, owing to the fact that on one occasion when it was beii exhibited to the public a lady fr.inkd away and nearly died of friprbi wiier she sav." the at vil advancing toward her. —Paris Letter.
