TRYON inclined to think well of him. In his earlier career as the head of a family famous for wealth and social eminence in this country he won considerable political and literary distinction. He represented the United States in Italy, and while there wrote a novel which was favorably mentioned in the reviews. Since he moved to England, bought an ancient palace and attempted to shine in the most exclusive society of the kingdom he seems to have gone daft and is^ frequently giving his former countrymen reasons for rejoicing over the fact that he has thrown off his American citizenship and become a Briton. GEN. PALMER'S SENTIMENTS. A pargraph has been going the rounds of the papers crediting ex-Governor John M. Palmer, of Illinois, with say­ ing of the Kansas City convention: "It was a triumph for the people. The ticket is excellent and the platform is a ringing patriotic political instrument which will appeal straight to the hearts of American voters." General Palmer headed the gold: democratic ticket four1 years ago and holds the same views now that he did then. In a statement that he has just made public he says: "Mr. Bryan, it is reported, insisted upon the conven­ tion at Kansas City, committing itself to the 16 to 1 folly, in order to satisfy the silver states. By the term 'silver -states' I mean those which have silver bullion to sell and desire its value to be enhanced. If Mr. Bryan succeeds at all it will be by debauching the democratic party and persuading them that silver bullion can be advanced to the price of gold and converting the party to popu­ lism. The democrats will call a con­ vention and have a ticket in the fiel^." No one who knows the old-time sen­ timents of the famous democratic leader in Illinois, will doubt which of the two quotations given above speaks fpr his convictions. PROBA TE NEWS CULTIVATE! the beautiful, and it will crowd hideousness into nothingness. WHAT is living but achieving, brings death and decay. Rest NOBLE deeds and kind words through life are worth far more than flowers on the coffin. GEN. BUCKNER, of Kentucky, who was on the gold democratic ticket with Gen. Palmer four years ago, does not agree with the latter in favoring a nom­ ination by that fragmentary party this year. He favors a meeting of the Gold Democrats and resolutions denouncing free silver but would not make nomi­ nations. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

While opti­ cians were making tests of a telescope at Rochester they saw a man two miles away stealing a tub of butter. Of course the man engaged in the theft had not the slightest suspicion that he was being watched but the sequal of the incident appeared when the police, who had been informed, took him into custody as he came to take possession of the stolen goods where the butter had been hidden. FAITHFULNESS is what the world is hunting for today. All the way from the rulers of empires and republics, down to the most humble servant or laborer, the world cries for faithful men and women, and too often cries in vain. Young man or young woman! whatever you do, do it faithfully. Don't be afraid of doing too much or of doing more than you get paid for. There is an immense premium today on men who do more than they are paid for, and they are the men who succeed. Don't Stop taking Scott's Emulsion be­ cause ifs warm weather.

THE National Telephone and Tele­ graph company was incorporated atTren- ton, N. J., last Tuesday with a capital of $50,000,000. This, it is said, is the first step in the consolidation into one im­ mense trust of the Western Union Tele­ graph company, the Postal Telegraph company, the Commercial Cable com­ pany, the Bell Telephone companies throughout the world, the Telegraph, Telephone, and Cable company of America, and the National Telephone and Telegraph company. This new cor­ poration intends to buy or absorb all the small telegraph and telephone coinpan- vy^V'ies in the country and create a monopoly whose capitalization would exceed that of any other trust now known.

Spain was one of the first three pow­ ers to recognize the beligerency of the confederacy. An injury can grieve us only when remembered; therefore the noblest re­ venge is to forget. The vocabulary of an ordinarily in­ telligent, educated person includes only about 4,000 words. It would not be safe to compare statis­ tics concerning cross old maids and cross married women. Nine people out of ten think they de­ serve credit for having feelings which are always getting hurt. In our battle of life we should have something worth-fighting for, otherwise we can have no creditable victory. Fine bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world. If you don't answer the letters you re­ ceive you can't expect your fourth cou­ sin to come and spend the summer with you. How many languish in obscurity, who would become great if emulation and encouragement incited them to ex­ ertion. The double-entry system of book­ keeping, now in common use, was first practiced in Italy in the lattey part of the fifteenth century. The first vessel to carry the American flag around the world was the ship Col­ umbia, which sailed from the port of Boston, Sept. 30, 11 o7. The federal law appoints capital pun­ ishment for about ten crimes, whereas few or none of the states apply it to more than two offences. Hope nothing from luck and the probability is that you will be fore­ warned and forearmed, that all shallow observers will call you lucky. The highest salary ever paid to a clergyman in this country was $50,000, given to Henry Ward Beecher for one year to enable him to defray the expen­ ses of the famous Tilton-Beecker trial. The bicycle, as a machine propelled by pedals having a crank action, is said to have been a Scotch invention, the first one, made of wood, having been constructed by Kirkpatrick MacMillan in 1840. Like most garments and most carpets, everything in life has a right side and a wrong side. You can take any joy and by turning it around find trouble on the other side, or you may take the greatest trouble, and by turning it around find joy on the other side. The gloomiest mountain never casts a shadow on both sides at once nor does the greatest of life's calamities. The fifteen most decisive battles of the world are laid to have been Mara­ thon, B.
