A medical authority advises the
young to “court fresh air day and
night. Courting in the fresh
air on the front verandah is also
splendid for the health. If you
don’t believe it, ask Prof.
Short,
Nine men out of ten who have
“the courage of their convic¬
tions,” haven’t the common sense
of a blind billy goat. It is well
enough to be brave, biit it is in
horribly bad taste to show your
rudeness on every possible oecae-
sion. Don’t hurt people’s feelings
just to show the world that you
don’t care.
After the day on which Bis¬
marck was shot at (May 7, 1880,)
by Karl Blind, his wife said : “If
1 were in heaven and saw the vi 11 -
ian standing on the top of a lad¬
der leading, to hell I would have
no hesitation in giving him a
push.” “Hush, my dear,” re¬
plied Bismarck, “you will not be
in heaven yourself with such
thoughts as these.”
The spider was an advertiser,
for “hrop into my parlor” said he
to the ffy and the fly did, so we
are told. If you are a bootblack
at least call out “shine, boss.”
Why stand in your doorway and
beg the strolling pedestrians to
“come in” when you could bring
them by dozzens with a well
written ad, telling them of
wares ?—Waycross Journal.
A new candidate for the legisla-
ture, in North Georgia, addressing
the “dear people,” became enthu-
siastic, and finally, after laying
down a somewhat advanced pro¬
gram for the nation, exclaimed
“Yes, fellow citizens, and I will
go a step farther,” whereupon he
absentmindedly stepped to the
edge of the platform and fell
sprawling among his hearers

The “man behind the gun” has
been praised, and sung and
crowned witli laurels, but one of
them gets less than .$100 in prize
money for the destruction of
Cervera’s fleet by Schley and
Capt. Sampson, who was seven
miles away and had nothing to do
with it, gets $10,000. No wonder
there is so much discontent with
republican misrule among the
“plain, common people.”

W. C. Brann, the late editor of
the Iconoclast, Waco, Texas, is
credited with the following: “The
dollar is indeed almighty. It is
the Archimedian lever that lifts
the illbred man into select society
and places the ignorant saphead
in the United States senate; it
makes presidents of stuffed proph¬
f
ets, governors of intellectual geese,
philosophers of fools and gilds in¬
famy with supernatural glory. It
wrecks altars of innocence and
polutes the face of the people;
breaks the sword of justice and
binds the goddess of liberty with
chains of gold. It is the lord of
the land, the uncrowned king of
the commonwealth.”
A minister in a town not a thou¬
sand miles away, on a recent Sun¬
day surprised his audience by
reading the following announce¬
ment from his pulpit: “The regu¬
lar session of the donkey club will
be held as usual at the close of the
service. Member will line tip just
outside the church door, make re¬
marks and stare at the ladies who
pass, as is fheir custom. Any
member known to escort a young
lady to church like a man and sit
with her like a gentleman, will be
promptly expelled from member¬
ship.” The application was to
the point and the effect marvelous.
Truth wears well. People have learued
that DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are
reliable little pills for regulating the
bowels, curing coustipatiou aud sick
headache. They don't gripe. T. *1.
