We have recently had & variety of
weather. We haee had show, and
then a little sunshine m the eaily part
of the week, which was followed by
excessive rains, which have caused
streams to overflow a large portion of
land, and has made our streets and
highways very muddy and unpleasant
to travel.
One extreme generally follows
another. We had several months of
unusually fine weather before Christ
mas, and should not complain now
while we are experiencing its oppo

anything but a mixture of good and
evil. Such it rlways has been and al

It is generally f.-aril ihat the yes

doing any thing for the relief of the

for the president to call an extra ses

countably strange that the men who
have lolemnly pledged themselves to
do certain things for the benefit of
those who have entrusted them with

•"O Japanese army is still on the

Other powers may bgcome envolved

the prsent war may yet bring to pass

to be hoped that the cause of civiliza

hat is needed not only at home
but abroad ’ says the Boston Herald,
in the course of an editorial referring
to “Futur Party Alignments,” is a
restoration of confidence in the finan
cial standing of this country, a confi
dence that has been terribly shaken
by various successes of the Populist
party and the lamentable weaknesses
exhibited by individual leaders both
in the Democratic and Republican
pai ties. The business depression due
to Ibis lack of cofidence is felt from
one part of our country to the othe-,
and in its aggregate effect is as bad
as, if not worse than, a terible pesti
lence or a great war. It can be pul
an cud to by a patriotic subordination
of partisanshiq which will permit the
leading Republicans and Democrats’
to unite in adopting and defending
a sound and thouroughgoing system
of currency reform.”

SCRATCH INGS
From the Leaves of tlio Ncrih

r|AHIS story I am going to tell
1 is true and it happened a few
months ago wheu political enthusi
asm or rath r, political antagonism,
was at a high pitch, and club meet
ings and speakings were not infre
quent occurrences m web retu .itcd
communities.
There, lived in a community herea
bouts a certain man whom we will
call “Jones”—not 4 because that is his
name but boesuse it isn’t. Now,
“Jones” was a leader of a certain
political faction or party in bis dis
trict, an orator of local repute, and
it often happened that he made
speeches stOati# club mettings. At
on* of these gatherings “Jones”
recognized a young man of {opposite,
faith who waa known to be some
thing ef a speaker himself. The
very common name of “Smith” wili
do for this young mao, although
this is n*t his name and he is not
common-looking, but is tall and dis
tinguished, and would attract atten
tion in any audience. Upon seeing
hi* “Jones” promptly invited “Smith”
to join him in a discussion of “the
political issues of tho day.” “Smith”
very politely declined, as he wisely
perceived that his wcu.d-bo opponent
had th# audience on him. Those of
the faith of Jones were highly elated
over the fact that their champion
had backed down a competent renre
sentative of the other side, and made
no end of jerring poor young “Smith”
about it.
A few days passed and there wns
to be another meeting at which
‘Jones” and others were to speak.
‘‘Smith’’ heard of it, mounted his
horse, started in the direction of
the little schocl house where the
meeting wtu to be held, telling every
one that he was going tomcat “Jones”
“face -o face in joint discus
sion” that night. The news wn3
soon scattered abroad end a large
audience assembled to hear the cij s
mission. ‘•Jones’”) was informed that
“Smith ’ expected to meet him. prr
paredfor the fray and awaited his
immagined opponent’s appearance
Time passed on, but “Smith” never 1
came.
“Jones” was the father of a verv :
pretty young ’ lady, and “Smith,'
s'yly passing the’ phee where
the meeting wan being held, went
straightway to the house of “Jones”
and paid wpt Mention to the charms
of his e\p ctant opponents Lvc’y
dn tighter.
Nxt day when “Sin'A.” was
questioned by those who ths night
before bad patiently awaited his
coming at tho meeting, as to why he
failed to keep his promise, lie re
plied: “I did. I said I would meet
‘Jones' ‘face to face in joint discus*,
ion,’ and I did. I want to see Miss
Jones and a had very pleasant talk
with her.”

\ ! ERE is one relating to the recant
.. -t cold day—the coldest on rocord.
A footman was traveling along a Very
high ridge just as the morning suu
had climbed to a sufficient heighth
to stake bis warmth felt just a little
on the bosom of frozen mother earth
Suddenly be began to hear voices
jah roir and him. He was bewildered.
Mie could iwai the voices very plainly
I con and sec no object from whence
| tlisy c.' in-. -phe more he investigated
tin more wa* he puzzled. He stratch
ad Lis head and half believed be was
demented. Tho voices talked on.
It appeared there were two and
each was trying to make the other
understand but seemed to be having
poor success. Presently smite one
else overt'-ok tho p. and, sir:: :i. J!
too, ht-.ird tin- voices and for awhile I
was aiS'! mysltiied. He recoguizcd
his own voice and suddenly the truth
dawned upon him. A few hours be
fore, soon in the morning, lie had
passed along there and on that ident
ical spot had mt an acquaintnance
and they had tried to pas* s. few
words,‘but it was so cold they could
hardly make each other understand.
Tho words were frozen as they were
uttered and now the warm sunshine
was thawing them and he and the
man he had overtaken had heard
them repeated.
Perhaps you don’t believe the
above. Facs is, I didn’t believe it
when I first heard it—and can’t
say that I believe it yet.
