The actor who told the Chronicle

A good many of the newspapers
have already begun to discuss the
political situation, and nine out of
ten of them are simply exposing
their ignorance. There is no “polit
ical situation.”— Dalton Argus.
In congress grave senatois are
standing at their desks hurling the
epithet “traitor” at those who dare
to express views contrary to tne
administration’s policy. Between
the Kentucky and National Legis
latures the government is fast laps
ing into the control of thugs
BEWARE OF THE SPECULATOR.
Cotton reaches 8 cents “after
many days.” Of course we mesa
many years. It is about all iu the
bands of the speculator and not any
good to the producer. Again it may
be a trap for the unwary planter,
who, in the hopes of getting S cents
next season, will put in increased
acreage. The northern speculator
and manipulator of the cotton crop
will never allow cotton to stay up.
He can handle it so much better at
a low price, as it takes so much less
money.

A Peculiar Dntch Cnstnm.
The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete clays iD Holland. They
are known by the curious names Re
view, Decision, Purchase and Posses
sion, and all refer to matrimonial af
fairs, November in Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to court
ship and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations of the year
are over and possibly because the lords
of creation from quite remote antiq
uity have recognized the pleasantness
of having wires to cook and cater for
them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is a
church parade in every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon
eacli oilier, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with a ceremo
nious bow and from her manner of re
sponding judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent of the parents is sought if the
suit has prospered during the week.
Not till Possession Sunday, however,
do the twain appear before the world
as actual or prospective brides and
grooms.—Philadelphia Ledger.

A farmer hired a mau and put him
iniu his lield to work. After awhile the
farmer came along and accosted the
new hand:
“Did you see a carriage go down the
road awhile ago?”
“Yes. 1 did. One of the bosses was a
gray boss, and the other was a roan
and lame in his off leg.”
“1 thought I heard some men shoot
ing over there on the edge of the
woods.”
“Yes: one of them was Colonel Jones.
He was the tall one. The second one
was Major Peters, and the third one
was Tom McSniffer. Colonel Jones
had one of them newfangled breeeb-
loadin guns what breaks in two.”
“Did you see those wild pigeons fly
over just now?”
“See ’em? Rather. There was 19 of
them. They lit in that old cornfield
down yonder.”
“Well, you see too much for a man
that is hired by the day. Here’s your
wages. When I want a man to keep
watch of what is going on, I’ll send for [

She Bad Rend About It.
Ono day a hoy was missing from a
schoolroom in one of the up town pub
lic school buildings. The teacher look
ed around and failed to see the fa
miliar face.
“Does any pupil know why Tommy
McGregor isn’t in school today?” she
inquired.
There was no answer.
The teacher repeated the query.
Then a little girl slowly lifted her
hand.
“Please, ma’am,” she said. “I know.”
“And why does he stay away,
Mary?”
“Please, ma’am, it’s ’cause he’s got
‘measles inside.’ ”
Mary had read the contagious dis
ease card that was lacked on the front
of the house.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

11th, 1S99, all obituary notices from
any source will be charged for as
advertisements at the rate of one-
half a cent a word, cash to accorn

obituary notices occupy space

i!y of the deceased or com
mittee requesting such publication,
are in many instances non-patrons
of the paper, and really borrow
them to read the article in which
