THE HAIR
When not properly cared for, loses
ilta lustre, becomes crisp, harsh, and
dry, and falls out freely with eveiy
combing. Vo prevent this, the best
and most popular dressing in the
market is Ayer's Hair Vigor, it
removes dandruff, heals troublesome
humors of the scalp, restores faded
and gray hair to its original color,
and imparts to it a silky texture
and a lasting fragrance. By using
this preparation, the poorest head
of hair soon
Becomes Luxuriant
and beautiful. AH who bave once (Tied
Ayer's Hair Vigor, want no otber dressing.
Galbraith tt Starks, Druggists, Sharon
Grove, Ky., write: "We believe Ayer'a
Hair Vigor to be the best preparation of tha
kind in the market, and sell more of 11 than
of aU others. No drug store is complete
without a supply of it."
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor with
■great benefit and know several other pop-
sons, between 40 and* so yeais of age, who'
liave experienced similar good results from
the use of this preparation. It restores gray-
liair to Its original color, promotes a new*
growth, gives lustre to tte hair, and cleanses,
the scalp of. dandruff." — Bernardo 0cho3,
Madrid, Spain.
After Using
A number of other preparations without
any satisfactory result, I find tbat Ayer's
Hair Vigor is causing my hair to grow."—
A. J. Osment, General Merchant, Indian
Head,N.W.T.
"Ayer's Hair Vigor is the only preparation I could ever find to remove dandruff,
cure Itching humors, and prevent loss of
hair. I can confidently recommend it."—
JT. C. Butler, Spencer, Mass.
"My wife believes that the money spent
for Ayer's Hair Vigor was tbe best investment she ever made, It has given her so
much satisfaction."—James A. Adams, 8b

She was so -Esthetic and culchud.
Just doted on Wagner and Gluck;
And claimed that perfection existed
In some foreign English bred duke.
Sho rave- over Browning and Huxley,
And TyudaUand Darwin and Taine;
And talked about Flora and Fauna,
And many things I can't explain.
Of Madame Blavatski, the occult,
Theosophy, art. and then she
Spoke of tho.Cunean Sibyl
And Venns de-de-Mcd-i-che.
She spoko of tho why and the wherefore,
Bot longed forthe whither and whence*;
And she*6aid yclept, yip, yan and yonder
Were nsed ia alliterative sense.
Well, 11-fee a fad sat dnmfonnded.
And wondered what she didn't know.

I don't know, bnt it seems to me
She was chasing aronnd in tbe kitchen.
And getting things reidy for tea.
I heard ber sweet voice calling, "Mother."
It was then that I felt quite abashed.

Could I help it tliat I was young and
Mr, and sly faded and past ber youth,
and o-ayer oi-etly ?
I bad no idea of doing her any harm
when I came to her fi ne mansion to spend
a summer month with her.
Sbe told me lhat she was engaged to be
married, and wanted me to meet her betrothed husband. It was all ber own doing.
I came, we saw each other, and he gave
me his heart on tbe instant.
He had sever given ber that; her
money had won him, bat bow bis passion
tor me made him feel that it was worthless.
One day he told her all. 1 bad fled
back to my home in terror, thinking that
when she knew the truth she would hate
me.
It seemed so treacherous to come as
her guest and rob ber of ber lover. I felt
that if she struck me, (nr even killed me,
she would only do what was just and
right.   But shortly Edwin wrote to me:
"My Darling Bella—Miss Esther VV iu-
tbrop is the best a:id sweetest of women;
an angel could not bave been kinder.
" 'Bella is much better suited to you
tban I am,'she said. 'Give her my love,
and tell her I hope she will be happy. I
bave long felt that, though we may always be Mends, we were never meant to
be lovers.'"
The letter had much more is it, but
nothing that I need to write here.
I was so glad tbat she bad forgiven me,
so thankful, tor now I could begin to
forgive myself a little; and yet I bad
done nothing tat be what Heaven had
made me, and the sort of woman that
Edwin Hunt liked.
I bad not made an effort to win bis
love, only wben it came to me, like dew
to tbe roses iu the summer eve, I could
not refuse it. We were lovers now; we
were happy.
I tried to make myself believe tbat
Esther Winthrop was happy also, tat
sbe looked pale and won.
Wham I met her in tbe street her eye?
had a sunken look and she seemed lost in
reverie; yet when she saw me she smiled
and took mv hand, uid told me tbat I
must ask her to my wedding.
At least, however, she would have been
a strange bride for handsome young Edwin Hunt. Strangers might have taken
her for his mo i her. Sbe was one of tbose
women who, as soon as early girlhood is
past, look hard .and withered. Tet,
knowing that she had been so kind and
dignified, so forgiving to me, 1 said to
myself lhat 1 would never judge any
woman by ber face again, foe Esther
Winthrop deserved to be the loveliest of
living women.
Oh, what a blind idiot was 11 Saintly
forgiveness uever gave such a cold, evil
light to a woman's eye, or wrote such
tigress lines about a woman's mouth.
But I believed in her then—I almost
worshiped her.- When she bade me
come to see her, I went timidly, wondering always at ber sweetness and courtesy,
which never seemed to fail her.
She came to my Wedding; sbe gave me
the handsomest of all my presents. Sbe
won golden opinions of all wbo met her J
Tta night of onr wedding we spent at
a botel in the city; on the following day
we were to take an ocean steamer. Tbere
would be a large party to see us off, aud
Esther had promised to be one of them.
"To-morrow!" How lightly, we utter
the word, never thinking wbat it may
bring forth, or that we may never live to
see it.
That night a messenger brought a letter
to Ed wiii. He read it witb a smile and
took up his hat.
. "You must suffer from curiosity until
I return," he said,laughing, as he kissed
me. "As they say in novels, 'the secret
is not mine, tat another's.' "
Then Ive ran gaily (town the stairs,
uliistling as he want. All night I waited
his return. In the morning he wa*) still
absent. He never came again. Where
be went, wby he went, wbat fate had befallen him remained a mystery.
Those were not wanting wbo nodded
and shook their beads, and aaid that
murder eould not be hidden so completely. Tliat any accident must bave been
known, and tbat he who had jilted one
woman might ta untrue to another.
. He had broken his engagement witb
Esther Winthrop to marry me. And a
tale was told of how be bad been seen
with a beautiful Spanish girl tlie day
before, and tbat both seemed agitated.
"Liea?' I cried, "false tales that
have no foundation; Whatever may have
happened, he was never false to me."
But the daya passed on, and the
months and years, and nothing was
heard of bim, and surprise gave way to
hopeless misery.
I had impoverished myself in fruitless
feeing of detectives, in useless journeys
to and fro. My parents were dead; I
was quite alone ke the world, and then
it was that Esther Winthrop came to
me.
"My big house is a very desolate place,"
she said; "perhaps two forlorn women
can make each other happier. Will you
come?   I ask it as a favor to myself.
For awhile I deliberated, then I accepted tto invitation.
Everything waa in my command. No
one oould have guessed which of us was
the mistress of tbe elegant abode.
Ester was unutterly generous, but soon
I found tbat she believed tto tales they
to'.dherofmy husband. I taxed tor
with it.
4,Whydo vou reproach me _" she said.
"I trusted Edwin Hunt once as you
trust bim now. He used to swear that
nothing would change his love for me.
One look at you did it. I knew that I
was plain and tbat you were beautiful;
I did not blame him. For some time I
bad feared that he had thought of my
wealth when he offered Ida band and I
as yoa know bore no malice. 1 had more
heartache than yoo guess. But aow—
now—ah, Bella, I could iorgivs him for
deceiving me, but not for bis conduct to
you.    You were bis wife."
Cou Id I wonder tbat sbe felt as she did,
even though it angered me ?
I spoke coldly to Esther fora while,
but surely she was to be forgiven.
It was after we had been reconciled
with tears and kisses that she showed me
an ebony box that always stood on a stand
near tar bed. A curious thing, brass
bound and well fastened, perhaps half a
yard square.
On a little brass plate let into the side
something was engraved.   She bade me
read it.   The words were these:
"For Bella Orme,
Wife of Edwin Hunt.
To be giving to her after my death."
"When I am gone, open it," she said.
"The contents belong to you."
"More of your great kindness, I know,"
said I. '-But I think you wul outlive
me, Esther Winthrop, unless people do
not die of broken hearts."
"Yen forget tbat my heart was broken
before yours was," Esther answered witb
a sl range laugb, '"besides, you are younger than I, and more robust."
That nigbt I lay thinking of wbat she
bad said, so that I could not sleep or rest.
I began at last to believe that they were
all right about Edwiu and I wrong. J
had heard her say a word or two which
made me fear that she knew something
of this Spanish girl of wbom thev spoke,
aid I resolved to question tor.
But Uw next day passed without my
having the courage to speak as I desired,
and only when night came did I nerve
m j self logo to her room, thinking that
in the silence and darkness I could better
endure what I might have to bear.
1 crept in softly after I thought she
bad retired, tat she was not there. I
lay down o_ a low lounge, before which
a sei een of golden silk had been placed,
and, withoat intending to do so, fell
asleep.
Tbe closing of Uie door awakened me.
Esther bad entered and waa lighting a
lamp, ll illuminated tbe spot where she
stood, near tto bed, but left the corner
where 1 lay in dar <ness.
I could see her, therefore, tat she
could not see me. And as I watched her
face a terror possessed me that kept me
dumb and motionless.
Her pale, withered, stern looking face
liad changed to tbe countenance of an
infuriated demon; tor eyes blazed with
a chilly light. She had taken from tor
watch chain a curious key, which she
always wore there, and unlocked the ebony box whieh ahe had spoken of ao singularly. Now she was bending over it
looking at something that lay there.
"Good night," she said, "I wonder
what Bella will say when she first sees
yoo '-* Will she scream and faint ? Will
she die fn
"Oh, little recked you of your fate,
traitor, when you jilted me for her fair
face. I punished you long ago. I punish ber every day. I see ber misery daily. Oh, if I could but see her when sbe
first lifts tbe lid of this tax aud looks at
yoo! Ah, trailer! traitor I tat tben I
sball be dead."
What was she speaking to F What did
she stare at with those dreadful eyes V
Tbat sbe was my enemy I now clearly
saw, and I must leave tor bouse at once;
but first I must see what she bad tbere.
Some portrait of aay husband, no doubt;
proof, perhaps, tbat to was false to both
of us. Oh, I must see what it was. Softly I crept forward, tta velvet carpet
smothering tbe sound of my footsteps.
I came close behind her, and peeped over
her shoulder, and saw—
The box open, lined with white satin,
like a coffin, and on the pillow a severed
head, preserved or embalmed in aome.
manner, so tbat tte face seemed like tbat
of one asleep—the bead and face of my
husband, Edwin Hunt,and as I saw it,
I knew that she had slain him.
"Murderess !" I shrieked, and seized
her arm. She turned and clutched me by
the throat and beld me so.
"LookI" she said. "Look, pitiful,
pretty face, look! Yon thought that
you bad stolen him, and all tto while he
was mine. I swore In should never kiss
you on yonr bridal night. I wiled him
to me by a note, telling him of a gift I
wished te send you. I offered Un poisoned wine. He drank it to my health.
For the rest—money will tay men to do
anything."
"You see him, you see him lying there.
I feast my eyes upon yoa. When I have
enjoyed myself enough, you, too, shall
die, serpent that I cherished that you
might torn and sting me."
But my screams had aroused tbe house.
There were steps on tbe stairs. The
door was burst open.
Wben I bad recovered from tbe swoon
into wbich I fell, tbey told me she waa
dead ; a vial in her bosom bad saved ber

"WeU, y-e-s, so I did; tat I really can't

though of course I'm willing to Ury.
And then there's another thing I've noticed. Married ladies have so many
purchases to make that instead of running around to all the stores in tto
neighborhood they have tbe dealers send
clerks around twice a day for orders.
Isn't it cute?"
"Um—there'll to only two of us, and
perhaps I can attend to the small household purchases."
"That wouldn't do, my dear. I haven't
seen any gentlemen attending to such
things. It's all done by clerks and orders—so simple, you know, and so satisfactory. It couldn't help being. By the
way, Mrs. De Rich won't have a coachman with a beard, and I suppose we
must follow the fashion, although it's a
silly one."
"Coachman, my dear? We can't keep
a carriage."
"No, I forgot. Of course we can't.
Not right off, anyway, because there'll
be such a tot cf fnrniture to buy, and
yon know everything will have to be

parlor table. It is in the De Grabber

"Don't you think, my dear, that at the

"Oh, this is perfectly plain—it's startling in its simplicity. But, my goodness, I forgot to tell yon of the fashion
for married ladies. It's too cunning for
anything. It isn't ha atyle to carry
purses any more. All we take is one of

MONEY IN UMBRELLAS.
WHAT   IT    COSTS    NEW    YORKERS
EVERY   YEAR   TO   KEEP   DRV.
A Dealer Estimates That »4,300,000 la
Spent Yearly for Umbrellas by the People of the Metropolis—A Strange Fact
Abont Umbrella Stealing.
They cost New Yaak a good deal of
money every year," aaid the fat umbrella
man as he deftly rolled a silk umbrella
and placed It back in tiie case. "The
amount must run so far up in the thousands it wonld seem an exaggeration to
one who didn't know anything about it.
If the amount was expended in charity no
ettt ia tbis town need go hungry.
*-T_e ratio of people who carry umbrellas
is larger in this town than in any other in
America. I suppose it la because we have
so many rainy days. Probably 80 per cent,
of the adult population of New Yorkcarry
umbrellas, and 10 per cent, of the children
over twelve years of age. I bave been in
the umbrella business for twenty years,
and I hare watched it pretty closely.
"The average life of a good umbrella is
about a year. Sometimes an umbrella
will wear fonr or five years. You can tell
nothing about them. There is nothing
more uncertain. The man who wffl guarantee an umbrella is foolish. The severest
tests will not reveal anything, because
every good umbrella is carefully examined
before it is put on sale. Every part of it
passes through the hands of an expert.
The silk is passed upon, the framework
and the stick. If anything is found not
up to the standard it is sent back, and yet
it is a very common thing for an umbrella
to go all to pieces inside of three weeks.
The best umbrella expert in this town can
tell nothing about them.
PBICES OF UMBRELLAS.
"As I said before, the average life of an
lainbrella is about a year, if the owner can
keep it as long as that, which is seldom the
case. There seems to be many men who
make it a business to lose umbrellas as
fast as they buy them, while others never
lose an ombrella. The average life of an
umbrella and the average service of an
umbrella are two very different things. I
suppose that the latter ia about six
months. As nearly as I can arrive at it
from close observation about 700,000 people
in New York carry umbrellas.
"That is a good many, bnt I think the estimate is under rather than over the exact
truth. For, mind you, there are many
who have two or three umbrellas at once.
Yon can buy an umbrella for almost any
price. The average of the good cheap umbrellas is about two dollars. The average
of the good silk umbrellas is five dollars.
The general average is about three dollars.
"Now you can readily arrive at an estimate of the amount of money which New
Yorkers spend for umbrellas every year.
Yon will remember that I said that the average service of an umbrella is about six
months, so that every one of these 700,000
people have to spend six dollars every year
to supply themselves with umbrellas. Just
multiply tbat and you will find that thia
big town spends $4,200,000 a year. Mind,
that is not exaggerating in the least. And
the umbrella habit is growing. There is
one firm in Philadelphia alone which turns
out 10,000 umbrellas a day.
"There is something strange about umbrellas. To begin with, is their general contrariness about wearing. Then they have
a curious effect upon human nature. 1
wouldn't trust my brother with an umbrella, and he is as honest a man as ever lived.
He conld have all the money I have, bnt
not my umbrella. A man cannot be honest
about them. I don't know what there is in
the things, bnt I do know that is the effect
they have upon people. There is not a day
passes but a man comes in here and wants
the stick and handle in an umbrella
changed when both are perfectly good. We
know well that the umbrella belonged to
somebody else, but, of course, we never say
anything.
MEN AND UMBRELLAS.
"I remember once that a man bought an
umbrella from us, and I remembered it because of a peculiar mark.
"Not long after another man brought lt
in and had another handle put in it. We
put in two other handles for different men,
and then the original owner brought in
the umbrella. We put in the handle tbat
was first in it, and he never discovered it.
I never saw a man who would not appropriate an umbrella if there was auy possi
ble excuse for so doing. A man who will
withstand all other temptations is utterly
helpless at the sight of an umbrella. 1
don't pretend to offer any explanation for
it; I simply know that it is a fact, and that
the man who takes the umbrella is no
more to blame than the kleptomaniac who
steals from dry goods stores.
"It is hard work to sell umbrellas. People always rebel against having to buy
them. They seem to think that they are
being imposed upon, and resent it accordingly. You have to answer more questions
than a man at an information bureau, ana
guarantee the weather for the next ten
years. And we do meet the crankiest Ioc
of cranks. The other day a man came in
here and spent an hour and a half looking
over the stock. After he had inspected
everything he looked at his watch and
said he was much obliged. He bad about
that much time to put in before his trait,
left, and he had spent it very profitably.
"If you ever buy .umbrellas yourself let
me tell you something as a guide. Yon
can buy the best umbrella that is made for
$6.50. When you pay more than that you
are paying for the handle or a name. If
you want to spend a lot of money you can
go up town to oue of the big jewelry
houses and spend anywhere from $25 to
$100 for an umbrella, and the umbrella itself is the same old $6.50 umbrella. And
if you don't want an umbrella of that kind
you can get one for $3 which will outwear
any silk umbrella that was ever made."—

Ibe Turk and Bis Beard.
The Turks esteem the beard aa the most
noble ornament of the male sex, and consider it more infamous for any one to have
his beard cut off than to be publicly
whipped, pilloried or branded with a red
hot iron. Almost any orthodox Turk
would prefer beiug pnt to death rather
than have his beard removed from his face
In that country to pull or irreverently handle the beard is an insult which can only
be avenged by taking the life of the person
who is rash enough to commit such a
crime, or for the Turk to lose his own in
making the attempt to call the offender to
account. Turkish wives kiss tbeir husband's beards, and children tbeir father's,
as often as they come for the customary
salute.—St. Louis Republic.

Where Tliere Are NO BAD INDIANS-
The Sisseton Indian reservation at the
eastern boundary of South Dakota and
containing one million acres of choice
farming lands, bas just been opened for
settlement and offers to the homeseeker
inducements that cannot be equaled. Tba
soil is Tery fertile, the country well watered, there being numerous small lakes within ita boundary, and it ia within a short
distance of the twin cities of the Northwest, St. Paul and Minneapolis, insuring
good markets almost at the settlers' doors.
Tbis is not a frontier reservation, but is
surrounded on all aides by an old, well
settled and prosperous country.
The reservation will be held for actual
settlers, only homestead entries of 160
acies each being permitted, and there is
room for more than 6000 farraf. To get
the best, however, come early ; first come,
first served. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway is the only road which
runs directly throngh the reservation.
To reach it from the East buy tickets to
Summit, S. D., Waubay, S. D., Wilmot,
S. D., or Wheaton, Minn. Summit is
within the reservation, the other stations
on the border. All ticket agents in tbe
United States or Canada sell tickets via

Remarkable Arotle Voyago at theaSts-taat-
ailiip Thetis In Unknown Watajfa.
The next day the Thetis overhauled several whaling vessels, one of which, the
Jane Grey, manned her rigging and cheer-
ed for the Thetis, a compliment returned
by Unele Sam's ship. The Thetis had rescued the Grey in 1888, when the latter had
been capsized, and the captain of the Grey
had resolved always to honor his preserver;
so up in the Arctic, with the pack only a
mile away, the vessel manned her rigging
and pass-ed the most stately of marine compliments.
At half past 12 of Sunday, September 8,
the Thetis, standing westward, sighted
Herald Island, high, gloomy and forbidding—a little, Inaccessible rock in the middle of the great Arctic ocean. Ten years
before, almost to the day, Captain De Long
had been caught in the ice where the Thetis
now sailed free; not a trace of ice was vis.
able now, the high rock bore but little
snow, and the Thetis plunged along withia
two miles of what, until within a few years,
had been deemed an outlaying spur of a
vast Arctic continent, so seldom had it been
seen.
Still westward steamed the Thetis, and
as gloomy Herald Island sank behind Her
gloomier Wrangel Island rose before her—
like Herald Island, believed to be an outpost of an nnknown continent. The island
lifted itself np plainly; Berry's Peak towered aloft as the Thetis drew near, grander
and more gloomy than ever, in the dusk of
an autumn day.
Tbere were no sails in sight, and Captain
Stockton determined to put about, more
than satisfied with the trip he had made—
from Herschel Island to Wrangel Island
within thirty days! Never before had suCh
a voyage been made.
So the Thetis turned eastward again,
leaving the great, lonely island behind her,
and the land sank slowly back into ths
ocean whence it had risen, and the sun
went down and the moon came up; and
from the land of ioe the Thetis steamed
southward, out of the frozen ocean, victor
in a hand-to-hand struggle with the powers of the Arctic, and doer of deeds that no
vessel ever before her had done.—RaObem
Gordon Butler in Scribner's.
Aa Angel ht Disguise.
If the wives of our employers were to
take the trouble to inquire a little closer
into the domestic lives of the men employed by their husbands this world would
be a far brighter one for many a hard
worked woman who buries her trouble in
her heart and wipes away the only oat-
ward trace of it with her apron. I know
of an employer whose wife interested herself in the lives of the people in his store so
tbat she ascertained the birthdays of their
wives, their children and even the wedding
days. It was done so quietly and so sweetly that none suspected her purpose, but
now on each festive day in those fifty odd
families there comes some pleasant rsmem-
aranoe. It is never the same, bnt always
something that ls jnst needod in that family at that time.
Every six month those Iras-bands flod a
little difference in their salary envelopes.
At Thanksgiving a splendid bin! go-as to
each of the bouses iu tbe employer's name,
at Christmas time tbe hand ot tbe wife is
visible. Now that is practical charity. God
only knows how many burdens that one
woman has made easier, hoar many lives
sbe has made brighter. None of the women whose paths this one woman has so
pleasantly smoothed has ever seen her! To
them she is like an invisible angel of goodness, but many are the silent prayers that
go up In tliose fifty homes tar her gentle
consideration for others.—Edward W. Bok
in Ladies' Home Journal.
Two Kinds of Walks.
Look at the methodical walk of the serried mass of clerks and others in a position
more or less dependent. Tbey are slaves to
tbe clock, and to the routine to wbich
their daily bours are devoted.' Bo they not
walk oddly alikef And well they may, for
they are alike—at least in ao far as tbey
are integers to help forward the routine
business work of the world. Their very
steps seem to say: "I am one of tbose who
have to be here at such and such a time,
and tbere at such a time. I must not delay.   I must ble me to my work."
ft Ib the same with soldiers. Tbey, too,
are like so many spokes ln a great wheel.
In sweet contrast there is the self made
man. He may bave been a clerk like
others In his younger days, ft so there Is
a touch of it still in h's gait. But there is
also mnch more, ft has developed into a
strut of the first water. He holds his head
high so that all may look at him, and if
they will follow an example may model
themselves upon him. "Behold me!" be
seems to say; "I am what I have made myself! Did youeverseeanythingsoremark-

Attacking Ant Hills With Cannon.
Iu the forest of Guiana dwell some very
large and exceedingly ferocious black ants,
which throw up hl'tls fifteen and even
twenty feet in height. Tbey will not hesitate to attack man, and their headquarters
are usually given a wide berth. The traveler Malouet speaks of having witnessed
the destruction of ooe of these fortresses
and its inhabitants in a way that was certainly extraordinary. A trench was dog
entirely around it and filled with dry wood,
which was set fire to simaltaneoasly at aii
points. Theu a tzain of artillery was
brought to bear and the hill knocked tc
pieces with tfae cannon balls. The ants,
seeking to escape, were all burned in theii
attempt to cross tbe fiery gutter.—Interview ia Washington Star.
Anti-Rnrat Coal Tka.
A simple and economical way of tarring
sheet iron pipa_s to keep tbem from rusting
is as follows: The sections as made should
be coated with coal tar and then filled with
light wood shavings, and the latter set om
fire. It is declared that the effect of thia
treatment will be to render the iron practically proof against rust for an indefinite
period, rendering future painting unnecessary, ft is important that the iron should
not be made too hot, or kept hot too long a
time, lest the tar shoald be burned off.
Hence the directions for tbe use of light
shavings Instead of any other means of
heating.—New York Journal.

White Hou.se, Jnne, 1891.
To Major Dan Mc Gary, Houston, Tea,:
Mt Dear Major ;—You will naturally
ask why I object so emphatically to the
President going to Cape May this summer.
My answer is that the methods employed
by tbe Harrisons to obtain that eottage
were so disgraceful and humiliating that
to maintain my self respect I must keep
tbem away from that cottage. President
Harrison's name bas been mentioned so
frequently in connection with Col. Bill
Snort, that when the administration does
anything disgraceful I catch as much of
the mud as the President himself, and I
am getting to be very tired of it.
1 was with tho Presidential family at
tbe cottage last summer, and I made up
mind, then and tbere, not to try ft again.
There is nothing in or about that cottage
that has been paid for in actual casb.
Everything, from tbe cottage itself to the
condensed milk we put in onr coffee, has
been contributed by tbe local property
owners, who are using the President to
boom up Cape May, whicb, but for tbo
presence of the royal family, would be aa
dead as tha Force bill.
The bedstead on which I repose was
contributed by a man whose daughter was
appointed to a clerkship in tbe Treasury
Department. Idon't know what tbe man
who furnished the mattresses got, but tbe
galoot who furnished tbe wash basin and
tbe rest of tbe crockery, told me, confidentially, that tho President had promised
to have him pat on tbe pension list as a
war veteran with back pa*i. At breakfast
I sit on a donated cbair aud drink eofiee
contributed by a grocer who owns tho
land next to the cottage. I grease my
toast with the butter with which Harrison
himself has been lubricated by another
grocer who expects to get a foreign mission.
This Harrison family reminds me of a
family ia Texas tbat was an object of
compassion to the neighbors. When the
big lazy son came home at night, and the
supper was on the table, be would look
around and say, with a whine :
"Mother dear, is tbis all the neighbors
bave sent us to-day ?"
As you know, Daniel, I am not any 'too
sensitive on this subject. When I waa
editor of tfae Crosby Connty Clarion and
Farmers' Vindicator, I was so poor that I
had to bring out for Congress the local
hotel keeper, wbo was an ex-convict, so
that I could get my meals regular. I bave
frequently, iu the editorial column, called
Mose Scbaumburg, (tbe local clothing
store priuce, who ought to have beeu in
jail), a gentleman of tbe old school, and
urged bis nomination for Governor of
Texas, hat I did it because I needed a new
pair of pants.
Harrison bas no excuse Car nsing hia
oflice for bia personal advantage. He has
all the money and pants be needs. Be bas
no excuse for accepting presents in return
for official favors.
To enable yoa to understand the situation, I must give yoa an insight into tbe
humiliation ta which we were subjected
last summer at Cape May. The people
wbo bad contributed tbe cottage, furniture, etc., insisted on getting tbe worth
of their money. For instance, if Harrison
did not go to churoh on Sunday, tbey
kicked, and talked about taking the cottage baok. Lots of people came to Capo
May tor tbe summer because they i xpect-
ed to see tbe President and bis family,
wben Harrison refused to exhibit himself
in the church, tbey went off to some oilier
seaside resoit, which was a pecuniary loss
to tho botel keepers and otbers who bad
contributed to the Harrison cottage fund.
Harrison seemed to realize tbat he was
swindling the Cape May Improvement
Company by staying away from churcb,
so be made me go ia his place, although
be kuew I had no experience whatever in
tbe business. However, I made a holy
■how of myself by putting on a spike-tail
coat and a plug bat and matching up tbo
aisle witb my head up and tail feathers
spread, ao to speak. Tbe text was quite
appropriate. It was: "Cast thy bread
upon tbe waters, and tbou shalt find it
after many days"—Gospel according to
St. John Wanamaker, lat chapter, and 1st
>erse. Oo you wonder tbat I kick about
spending another summer at Cape May?
How would you like to have to go fo
church every Sunday and be pointed out
as tbe confidential chum of President*
Ha-rison? Just pat yourself in my place
before you condemn me.
Tbere was no limit to the humiliations
to whieh I was subjected. One day I was
out driving wilh the President in a borse
and buggy whicb bad beeu presented to
Mrs. Harrison by a livery stable man,
who makes lots of mouey out of people
who come here to see tho President. Aa
we drove past his stable, he motioned to
Harrison to halt. Harrison did so. The
liveiy man, a coarse, vulgar brute, accompanied by several tough looking friends,
came up to tho horse, opened his mouth
and showed tbem tbe animal'a teeth, men-
' tioning also that be had presented tbe rig-
out to Sirs. Harrison. Then with Botany
Bay gentility he motioned to Harrison to
drive oa.
' I made up my mind then and there that
I w ould never be caught riding out with
tbe President agaiu. 1 told Harrison ii I
■aas in bis place I'd fire that vehicle and
borse back at the chump, bat Harrison
did not see it hi tbose lamps. Ba never
does.
Une day the front door-bell rang violently. I went out and tbere was a stunning looking female with gilt-edged hair,
wbo wanted to see Mrs. Harrison.
"Wbat do yon want ?" asked I.
**I waut to call on Mrs. Harrison. It's
my duty to call first, as she ia a stranger
here."
"Mra. Harrison does not care to see
your class of people."
"She don't, ah ? Well, I guess I chipped
in to present her with tbis cottage.
I am Dolly Dimple, the song and dance
artiste at tbe Little Cem Variety Sbow.
I am the only Proteau artiste in the world
wbo can turn a back summersault and
sing "Utile Annie Rooney" without missing a note.    Want to see me do itf-™
"Now, Madame, you go right away and
cease to embartass this administration any
more," Hid I, pointing to tbe gate.
"You don't say aa Well, these Harrisons must be a nice lot. Accept a cottage
from a lady, and tben put on frills when
she calls to see tbem. Now, Snorty, dear,
here are some "comps" to the afternoon
maiinec. Bring Harrison along with you,
and if ha likes a quiet little game of poker
we will sbow him the Kitty in tbe back
room. Tell Mra. Harrison I called and
give her my card, aod don't forget to come
this afternoon. O. you needn't wink at
me, you old sinner," and chuoking me
under the chin, off she went.
Now, do yoa blame me for refusing to
go to Cape May thia summer? IIow
would you like to be treated tbat way—
be chucked under the chin, and be called,
"Danny, dear'r"
Tbe day alter the above inoident I found
a long, lean, gawky youth hard at work
milking our(?) Jersey cow, wbich had been
presented to Mrs. Harrison aa a token of
esteem ky a neighbor wbo wanted to be
tbe local postmaster. I collared the youth,
whereupon ho explained that hia father
said be was going to milk that cow until
be got bis appointment as P. M.
What could I say ? It would not surprise me any morning wbile I am at breakfast with the Presidential family to have
some one come in and pull the chunk of
baoon I aaa chewing out of my month because Harrison bas not redeemed Mi
pledges.
1 have registered a solemn vow, that
wben I am President, if anybody attempts
to present me or Mrs. Snort with a cottage, I'll pull a pistol on bim.
Yours for Reform,
Bill Short.
