DEVOTED TO JACKSON COUNTY AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
A CITIZEN OF NO MEAN CITY.
Day follows day; yea, nothing is unchanging.
Only in vanity may all compare.
Oh, for a vision from the Land Arcadia,
For I, too, have been there.
Yet for no country are made the freemen
Till to that country we allegiance swear.
Lovers of earth, I and my kin before me.
In ways well trodden ever did we fare.
But still my heart turns to the Land Arcadia,
And I, too, have been there!
This morning in the wood I told of fairies.
The wonder and belief had equal share
In a child’s eyes, as dropping wealth of blue
bells.
She fell to kissing me with sudden care.
Stirring dream memories of the Land Arcadia,
For I, too, have been there.
Vague discontent, with cries of heavenly yearn
ing.
And love of all things that the wide earth
bare
Have swelled my heart, and for the momenta
flooded
A narrow youth, till I could all things dare.
Filled with rapture from the Land Arcadia,
For that I, too, was there.
And by the layered shades of the old cedar
Heavy from roses hungHhe breathless air;
When my love gave the answer all awaited.
With a slow smile, to the broad moonlight
rare.
Give me your hands, ye of the Land Arcadia,
For L too, have been there.
I watched her pass into the far off country,
Hand in my hand, she had gone forth to where
Message, voice, touch of mine, could never
reach her—
Tumultuous rose, dethroning numb despair,
A mighty longing for the Land Arcadia,
Surely the loved are there.
Lost in the days wherein there is no vision,
But striving, only striving to forbear.
Dully I crave a draft of death and slumber.
Deeper than dreams that would my rest im
pair.
What wouldst thou have of me, O Land Ar
cadia?
Ah! that I once was therel
Sudden, the open secret of our birthright.
Thrills through the commonplace at unaware;
Soaring anew at joy, I win, not gladness.
But “ampler ether, a diviner air,”
Where shine the stars guiding to lost Arcadia,
Surely I, too, go therel
Lo! 1 am here a stranger and a pilgrim—
A sojourner, as all my fathers were;
Nor knew they rest far from the Land Arca
dia,
If they had once been there!
—New York Tribune.
THE BIG WHEEL.
“No, sir. Not this afternoon, sir.
I’m very sorry, but that’s the orders.
We have to be very careful with her,
sir. There hasn’t been anybody in it
for full two hours,” said the man at
the gate.
“But it’s one of the advertised at
tractions of the Midway, and I in
sist,” said Mr. Douglass. He had al
ready been in the Ferris wheel once
before and had not meant to return
to it, but circumstances were too
strong for him, and here he was,
ready to pay but unable to get a
ticket.
“Insist or not,” said the man at the
gate, “you can't get in if you want
to; we can’t let you in if we want to.
The wheel is sulky and has been
turning slow and ugly like that since
noon today. ”
“But I leave the city tonight,” said
the tutor, “and I will not leave with
out another ride in the great wheel.”
“Very well,” said the man, turning
on his heel, “get in if you can. The
machinery is out of order, and we
can't stop the wheel —maybe you
can,” and he walked off whistling
“Comrades. ’
The man’s indifference roused Mr.
Douglass. “We’ll see,” he said,
“whether I won’t have one more
ride on the Ferris wheel."
After a brief glance round him his
eye caught the sign of the Bedouin
encampment. Rushing toward it,
he threw a S2O goldpiece upon the
counter, told the attendant to keep
the change and was soon in earnest
conference with the Arab sheiks.
He gave each a golden double
eagle, and they bowed low. “Adlah
be praised. The white chief’s will
shall be done!” they exclaimed.
Then without losing a moment the
three hurried to the great Ferris
wheel, which still went painfully,
jerkily about, with a low growl that
boded mischief. But if the wheel
was out of temper, so was Mr. Doug
lass, and saying “Ready!” to the
Arabs he placed himself between
them, one grasping each of his arms.
“Let gol” the tutor called, and at the
word the sinewy Arabs raised him
from the ground, and after one or
two preliminary swings hurled him
through the air as if he had been a
stone from a sling.
Crash I went the tutor through the
glass, just scraping his way between
two of the iron bars, but landing
safely in a car.
“Therel” he cried, “I shall have
another ride in the wheel!”
Up it went, over, down, and he
came slowly toward where the Arabs
stood in earnest talk. As he ap
proached one stepped forward.
“Give more baksheesh 1” he cried,
“or”
Mr. Douglass shook his head. The
Arabs shook their fists. He laughed
at them. Then, raging with fury,
one turned and said in Arabic to the
other:
“Seeme letim sleyd I”
No sooner said than done. Each
Bedouin seized one of the gigantic
supports that upheld the wheel and
pulled with all his might. They
were both well developed and had a
strong pull. With a long pull and a
strong pull and a pull altogether
they sprung out the supports, the
great wheel fell from its place, and
the Bedouins, seeing the mischief
they had done and perhaps repent
ing of it, for they were only hasty,
not wicked, leaped upon their price
less donkeys and were soon lost in
the suburbs of Chicago. Unlike the
cat, they did not return and have
nothing more to do with the story,
uut no aouDt tney or ten regretted,
m they grew older, the hasty out
burst of temper that was now to do
so much mischief.
For the wheel, with Mr. Douglass
an unwilling passenger, dropped to
the ground and rolled slowly up the
plaisance.
Its first victim was the Turkish vil
lage, and when the wheel had passed
the village looked like a flat, hand
colored map.
Mr. Douglass, as soon as he saw
w hat the Arabs were at, had climbed
out of the car, and more like a spider
than a tutor made his way up to the
axle, where he stood upright, walk
ing backward upon the axle as the
wneei ran forward. From this well
chosen perch he could and did wit
ness the ensuing scene, which was de
scribed by the Chicago reporters as
“unusual.”
The Turkish village, being a trifle
lumpy, diverted the wheel but little,
and the next assault was upon the cor
ner of the Panorama of the Alps. The
end of the canvas became entangled
in the wheel and was stretched from
one side to the other, so that subse
quently many thought that there
had been a landslide when they saw
the wheel pass.
Mr. Hagenbeck’s far famed animal
show also came in for a share of dam
age, the wheel crushing one corner
of the menagerie and picking up the
small performing bear in sucb a way
that he was compelled to leap from
car to car as each came upright and
walk the wheel as if it were a circus
ball. He was rescued unhurt, but
considerably fatigued when the wheel
finally—but it was not yet through.
Glancing to the other side of the
plaisance,the Libbey Glass company’s
building was splintered into what one
of the Irish dairymaids declared to
be “smithereens," and the monster
rolled onward to where the Interna
tional Dress and Costume exhibit
was situated. Here it broke in one
side of the building, and then catch
ing sight of the contents, with a
shriek from every cog fled into the
fair grounds, cutting its way through
the Illinois Central and Intramural
bridges with no more than slight
crunches. The bear and Mr. Doug
lass were still walking their tread
mills, and the Panorama of the Alps
still decorated a whole side of the
wheel.
But the great wheel, though out of
temper, was not yet without feeling.
It swerved aside upon reaching the
Woman’s building, plunged into the
lagoon, where, frightened by the
squawking of the swans, it shot mad
ly toward the Government building.
Probably it would have gone entire
ly through except for the fact that
the department of justice lay direct
ly in its course. It could not face
the stern portraits of judges upon
its walls," and destroying only the
big tree and a few other antiquities
of slight importance it encountered
the Liberal Arts building but slight
ly checked in speed.
Mr. Douglass was tired of his ride,
and from the bear’s growling con
cluded that his fellow passenger was
also ready to stop.
“I wish,” said Mr. Douglass, never
relaxing his backward walk, “that 1
had omitted this last visit to the fair.
It is rather exciting, but too weari
some after my long weeks of tramp
ing. lam glad to see the Building of
Manufactures ahead. The wheel may
get through it, though I couldn’t.
But it won’t go much farther.”
But he was wrong. The lath and
plaster offered little l'esistance to the
iron wheel, and the little elevator
boy in the center of the building
opened all the throttles, shot bodily
out through the roof, elevator and
all, and landed in the Viking ship,
much put out, but little hurt.
On its way down the center aisle
the wheel picked up the big tele
scope, and on its next revolution
flung that marvelous instrument
high in the air. But Ben Franklin
was waiting for just such a chance,
and he promptly accepted it. Chuck
ing aside his key and kiteline, he
stepped lightly from the portico
of the Electricity building and
caught the telescope on the fly (for
which feat he afterward received a
vote of thanks from the University
of Chicago), placed it carefully on
the wooded island and modestly re
sumed his place on the pedestal, say
ing simply, “A penny saved is two
pence clear.”
Cutting a clear channel through
the biggest building, the wheel
leaped the basin —a sight that so as
tonished Miss Progress that she
called to the Sciences and Arts to
save themselves, came down from
her perch, fled shrieking into Ma
chinery hall and took the crane for
the other end.
Miss Republic noticed the passing
wheel, but until it was gone did not
understand what was going on.
The wheel was now headed for
Agricultural hall, but as it came
within a threatening distance three
young women of the Zodiac family,
with a single impulse, threw their
globe at the wheel, at the same time
uttering three shrieks that did more
execution than the ball they had
thrown. The ball shattered one of
the towers on the convent, but the
shrieks saved the Agricultural build
ing, with all its priceless corncobs,
preserved prunes and patent harvest
ers.
Scared from its course, the wheel
sought an avenue of escape. To Mr.
Douglass’ horror and the bear’s re
gret, its course lay toward the mov
ing sidewalk. Stinking the wrong (the
incoming) side, the wheel began to
see that it had made a mistake, for
gradually it was compelled to slow up.
Mr. Douglass and the performing
bear seized the opportunity to take a
short rest. Both were experienced
travelers and never failed to take ad
vantage of any chance to relieve t“he
monotony of a journey.
Meanwhile an alarm had been
sounded upon all the trumpets held
by figures upon the Administration
building; telephones were at work
calling aid; the Fire Queen and all
the patrol wagons were dashing to
and fro; the Krupp gun was trained
upon the wheel, and all was bustle
and excitement.
Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and Pro
fessor Hagenbeck, with high boots
on, came riding like mad across the
Court of Honor and charged bravely
down upon the motionless wheel.
When within range, Mr. Cody opened
fire and succeeded in breaking all the
windows that still remained intact
in any of the wheel cars. Texas Jack
lassoed the bear and dragged the
grateful little beast from the top of
the wheel, whereupon the professor
consoled the little animal by giving
him the usual lump of sugar taken
from the professor’s coattail pocket.
Just at this moment engines “999, w
“John Bull” and “De Witt Clinton”
arrived for the purpose of hauling
the wheel back to its place.
They were just too late.
The wheel, having lost headway
and remained still for a short time,
now began to be carried back along
the sidewalk. It rounded the curve,
ran along to the pier at the end, and
on coming back had acquired a speed
that sent it off upon anew expedi
tion.
This time the statue of the Repub
lic realized there was something ir
regular in the action of the wheel
and aroused from her lethargy
enough to step languidly ashore and
lrt the wheel go by. The Krupp gun
was discharged, but the missile, miss
ing the wheel, put an end to the
battleship Illinois, which went into
plaster chips with her flag still fly
ing.
Mr. Douglass said pettishly, “I am
getting very much bored at having
to run about on this axle, and I do
think the authorities of the fair
ought to do something to protect a
visitor from such an accident.”
But his conscience told him he had
done wrong in entering the wheel
without having secured permission.
As the great unicycle ran for the
Transportation building the statue
of “Land” remarked, “For the land’s
sake!” and hastily put on brakes, a
course for which he was commended
by Messrs. Fulton and Watt, his
neighbors. Stephenson, however,
blamed him for not first securing one
of the airbrakes, of which there
were plenty inside the building.
Striking the Intramural line, the
wheel ran over Festival hall, explod
ing the bellows of the great organ,
and then ran triumphantly up and
bursted the Horticultural bubble of
glass.
Just here, however, the wheel and
Mr. Douglass caught sight of the
dome of the Illinois state building,
and the iron creature turned aside
with a sigh that could be plainly
heard at the British building on the
lake shore and then ran down the
Midway like a hunted stag.
Here Professor Hagenbeck and his
young men received the wheel with
stern glances that even that awful
monster of iron and glass found ir
resistible. With a few lashes of his
long whip, the professor soon re
duced the wheel to submission, and
at the word of command it ran to its
place, climbed into position and was
still. The professor immediately
gave the wheel a lump of sugar from
his coattail pocket, petted it upon
the cogs, and saying “There will be
no further trouble, I think,” walked
serenely back to lunch.
He had forgotten Mr. Douglass.
How was the poor tutor to reach
the ground ?
He tried to climb down one of the
spokes, but slipped, lost his hold and
was falling, falling, fall
“I really believe, boys,” said Mr.
Douglass, “that I've been asleep. I’ve
had a remarkable dream. It was”—
But the brakeman called:
“New York, last stop, all out!”—

A Tip to the Thief.
The smallest incident, which, to
most people, seems too insignificant
to notice, has often caused the cap
ture of a criminal or the detection of
a plot. All things are important to
certain people. A man tried his door
the other day to see whether it was
locked, and caused a crime.
He and his wife were preparing to
go to the theater. There wai no
body else in the house. His wife
glanced out of the window and saw a
*;an standing in the shadow of a tree
across the street. She thought noth
ing of it at the time. As they were
leaving the house the husband clicked
the latch of the door, as usual. As
they walked up the woman’s eye
again fell upon the motionless form
in the shadow of the tree.
She became suspicious.
“Did you lock the door when you
came out f” she asked of her husband.
“I suppose so. I always do,” he
said.
“Hadn’t you better make sure,
deal - ?”
“Oh, lam sure. It’s all right.”
“But won’t you go back and see?
I’m afraid you didn’t, and I’d like to
be certain about it.”
So he walked back and tried the
door. Of course it was locked, but
the wife’s anxiety was relieved.
That simpl* act cost him a great
deal. The man across the street had
not contemplated robbing that house
before, for he didn’t know whether
any person was at home or not.
When the person who lived there
went back to try the door it satisfied
him that no one was in it. He crept
back the alleyway, pried open a rear
window and helped himself to the
contents of the silver closet. And
he wouldn’t have done it except for
that trifling, natuial incident that
him so much.—Philadelphia
Press.

How He Got His Start.
In a recent address at San Francis
co, C. R. Huntington, the millionaire
railway magnate, said:
“When I was a boy I earned and
saved in one year, by the most rigid
economy, SB4, and at the end of that
year I was as I have ever been since
Start two young men upon the road of
life, and if one earns $75 the first
year and saves SSO of it, and the
other earning the same amount and
saves nothing, it seems an easy prob
lem to figure out the probable differ
ence at the end of twenty years.
Nothing is more surprising than the
result, for while in the seoond instance
the twenty years produce no growth,
in the first case the habit of economy
and of saving the pennies becomes
the most finely tempered and useful
tool in his possession, and the growing
capital becomes a servant that from a
child grows into a giant for his mas
ter’s advancement.
“Nearly all of the great merchants
of New York city commenced as boys
without other advantages than habits
of health, industry and frugality.
They were not sticklers for a scale of
wages, but were ready to take the
work that lay nearest them ; and they
put so muoh of energy and intelligence
into their early work that their capa
bilities were quickly recognized and
rewarded by promotion. It is by
such men that great industries are
built up and great cities established.
The beginning seems small, but they
are like the little rivulet, which,
springing from the mountain side,
pushes its way persistently and steadi
ly onward ; checked it may be every
now and then by obstacles, but, wait
ing patiently until it can surmount
them, gathering new stores from
every side, until at last it becomes a
mighty river. And so with man. If
as a boy he starts in life with one
motto that ‘anything that ought to be
done can be done, ’ all the time taking
the work nearest to him, and, while
doing that, watching out for some
thing better and higher, he will find
that there are but a few things that
he cannot accomplish between his boy
hood and the three score and ten
years allotted to human life.”
Old Folks.
“Tell you an old story about chil
dren, my little ones V' says Grand
mother Davidson, as she sits at the
nursery window with two small peo
ple. “Well, listen, and I will tell
you a very old one, beginning with
‘once upon a time.’ ”
“Yes, yes, we like that way,” said
both youngsters together.
“Well, once upon a time there lived
a strong young man who ought to
have supported his father in his old
age, as his father had taken care of
him and loved him when he was a
child. Yet this peasant used his old
father very ill, after keeping him for
a long time almost without food.
“One day he went so far as to say
that he could not spare the family
plates and dishes for his father to eat
out of, and began to make him a
rough trencher, a kind of little trough,
such as one gives cats and dogs their
food from.
“Henrick, the peasant’s little fair
haired son, saw his father at work up
on this ugly trencher, and after watch
ing him for some time, he said:
‘Father, when I’m a grown-up, strong
man and you’re an old, weak man, I
shall make you a wooden thing like
this to eat out of, and I will grumble
and talk aloud, like you do to old
grandfather.’
“The father dropped the wooden
dish, kissed the child, and determined
always to behave to his father as he
would wish his own son to do to him.”
—New York Recorder.
For Sleepless People.
Do you lay awake at night and
anathematize the man who first sug
gested the connection between sleep
lessness and guilty consciences ? Have
you counted all the clocks in the house
striking all the hours of the night, at
different times? Have you tried to
fix your mind on something impersonal
and failed? And have you finally
come to the conclusion that theA were
atany arguments in favoi of the
chloral habit?
If you have done these things of
course the indications are that you
need a doctor, but it is not always
convenient to Bummon a physician at
1 o’clock in the morning simply be
cause you can’t sleep. It is better to
read, work and learn a few cures for
insomania, which you may try over
night and see a physician in the morn
ing.
If you fear a sleepless night un
dress in the dark. Light stimulates
and arouses the activities. Darkness
is supposed to produce drowsiness.
Put some chopped ice in a rubber bag
and place it at the lowest extremity of
the spine. This is particularly quiet
ing to the nerres. Do not use any
thing but a rubber bag or you will
Burely have a damp cloth and rheuma
tism by morning.
Terms: 91.00 a Yiaf.
Do not use a pillow. Relax every
muscle so far as possible. Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath
with tepid water just before going to
bed.
Lie on your face instead of your
back. That is the way babies sleep,
and their methods is scarcely to be
improved upon in this particular.
All pressure is moved from the
spine by this means, and a delicious
feeling of restfulness ensues.
Make up your mind that you want
to keep awake long enough to hear
Borne one come in or eutline the next
day’s work. You will drop asleep

As Doctor Rule drove up to the
gate of his home one morning, after
making his early rounds, little Jack,
who had been watchmg for him, ran
down the path to meet him.
“O, papa,” he said, “we thought
yon’d never come ! There’s a patient
in the dining room who’s been waiting
ever so long, and he’s so bad that he
has tried three times to jump out of
the window.”
“Oat of his head, I suppose,” said
the doctor, as he sprang out of the
buggy.
“Mamma’s holding him down on
the sofa now,” said Jack, leading the
way into the house.
The doctor hurried into the dining
room, wishing his patients would
come during office hours. His wife
and little daughter were both stand
ing before the sofa, bending down
very loW. They did not turn around
or speak.
“Let me see what’s the matter
here,” said the doctor, pushing them
aside.
They answered him with a burst of
laughter, and the doctor had to laugh
too, for the “patient” on the sofa was
only old Bose, covered to his neck
with a shawl, and looking very much
ashamed of himself, and as if he
would like to get up if he could.
“This is Jack’s joke,” said mamma.
“Don’t you know what day it is!”
“The first of April, I do declare !”
said the doctor: “Jack, you rogue,
come here.”
Jack ran laughingly into his father’s
arms.
“You said no one could ever April
fool you, papa, ” he cried.
“So I did,” said the doctor, and he
put his hand in his pocket and took
out a dime. “Take this, it’s worth a
dime to be caught by a little fellow
only five years old !”—Youth’s Com
panion.
Dead Language.
“The expression ‘dead language’
is almost constantly used in a mis
leading connection,” says Professor
Arthur Duttdb, of Boston. There
are doubtless hundreds of dead lan
guages taught in our Universities and
colleges that have a good deal of life
left in them yet. The name is almost
universally applied to Greek, Hebrew,
and Latin. A quarter of a century
ago it certainly looked as though
Greek was dying out of existence al
together, but since modem Greece
has surprised even its best friends by
the new life it has taken up, the pur
est Greek is being spoken in and
around Athens. It is quite a mistake
to suggest that modern Greek differs
so much from that of former rulers
of the world that the man who knows
one cannot understand the other.
The tendency of modem times has
been rather to bridge over the differ
ences, and the Greek now spoken is
very pure. Not only is Latin in use
now among church dignitaries and
others with scarcely any variation
since the days of Virgil and Csesar
but there are thousands of people in
Europe who use it in their every day
life, although, of course, it is not at
all like the language of the Italians.
As to Hebrew, it has always teen
maintained in its purity, and cannot
by any stretch of reasoning be • re
garded as a dead language.”
How They Waltz in Kentucky.
A Danville girl tells the Advocate
the following with regard to waltzing :
“No one waltz, even when danced
with the same partner, is exactly the
same. It is always anew sensation.
The music is not in the same key,
and the waltz does not touch the same
chords of one’s soul. H I dance 20
waltzes in the evening I have 20 dif
ferent thrills of pleasure. With one
partner it is a soft, insidious measure;
with the next, a loDg and languorous
movement; with the third, more of a
hop that gently jars the brain into a
delicious, dreamy forgetfulness ; while
the fourth cavalier, with a heroic tread,
bears you away with strong and vigo
rous rhythm into still another world.
The lights of this go out, you lose con
sciousness, but you feel no dread as
you lie within those herculean arms
like a child rocked to sleep in his
mother s embrace. Your feet are no
longer on the earth. It’s a celestial
rotation out into space, and when you
light on earth again you feel like a
tixed bird stopping from a long flight.
