It is indis- pensable for t at purpose and unsuited to any other, and all the silver tongued orators inthe land cannot change this fact. The‘$1, $2.50 and $3 goldpieces were too small and were unpop- ular as change money. and the government stopped the coinage of them. On the other hand. silver is not a debt pay- ing money in any considerable amount. nor the money of commerce, for the reason that it is too bulky and too heavy. When a man gets over $5 or $10 of it, he unloads on the first bank he comes to, and the bank unloads on the treasury. Thus the circulation of it is lim- ited to just what the people will use. When the people get enough of a thing, they know it, and you cannot argue with them about it. They are gullible on theories, but intensely practical in business. “The Great Crime of 1873." We have heard a great deal about demoneti- zation of silver. Let us see the extent; of “the great crime of 1873.” In 1853, in order to pre- vent the subsidiary coin from going abroad, the silver half dollar was reduced in Weight from 206% to 192 grains, and the quarters, dimes and 5 cent pieces were reduced in the same proportion. These coins were ‘then made a legal tender for only $5 in amount, and the coinage of them for private account was stop- ped, but the government purchased the silver bullion and coined them as they were needed. So, po crime was committed in 1873 against the“halves, quarters, dimes and half dimes. That crime was committed under Millard Fill- more. In 1879 these coins were made legal ten- der for sums not exceeding $10. In 1873 the standard silver dollar of 412% grains was left out of the coinage act and the trade dollar‘of 420 grains was substituted for it. This was done at the request of the Pacific slope, to enable our dollar to compete with the Mexican dollar of about that weight, in China and Japan. The standard dollar was not a legal tender from Feb. 12, 1873, to Feb. 28, 1878, at which time its recoinage was provid- ed for, and it was reinstated as a legal tender for all debts, in whatever amount. But $8,000,- 000 of this “daddy dollar” was coined prior to 1873, out of a total coinage of $1,000,000,000. Jefferson stopped thecoinage of it in 1805 and for 30 years not one ‘of them was coined, and the daddies never complained. They did not have sense enough to see 17th Jefferson had sold out to Lombard street! These dollars were not in fact legal tenders prior to 1873, because the people did not ten‘der them in pay- ment of debts nor in purchase of goods. They had not been in cirCulation since Andrew Jackson was president. and hardly any middle aged man had ever seen one of them. The peo- ple had demonet-ized them by melting them down or by sending them abroad for that purpose, and to this good day they have never been demonetized in any other way. The act of 1873 simply recognized what the people had done and for five years continued the policy that the people had been pursuing for nearly half a century, The legal tender faculty of this dollar was restored to it 17 years ago. The government has $350,000,000 of it on hand now, and has stood ready at all times to furnish it to any body who wanted it. This is the biography of the demonetizution mouse that has been evolved from a mountain of denunciation. The poor little thing never lived but five brief years and has been as dead as a door nail for 17 years. While it lived it was so harmless the people paid no attention to it. Shakespeare says, “The evil that men do lives after them.” But it is even worse in the case of this mouse. The evil that it did not do lives after it in the shape of grasping mine owners, two ply editors and unscrupu- lous politicians. " Thriving on Assassination. We are told that the standard dollar is not primary money. It is not a promise to pay, it is a legal tender for all debts, and it does not; have to be redeemed in anything on the face of the earth. If any man can give a bet- ter definition of primary money than this, I would like to see it. This government is the fast friend of silver money and of the people who use it, rather than of the American and English corpora- tions who mine silver and would coin it at a fictitious valuation. Prior to 1873 this govern- ment coined $144,000,000 of silver; since then, $537,000,000. In 21 years, under a gold stand- ard. nearly four times as much silver was coined as in 81 years under the so called dou- chloroformed her child when she whipped- it. Miss Silver was assassinated in 1873, at a time when there was almost none of her in circula- tion, and since that fateful day she has thrived on assassination and has grown from a living skeleton to be the fat woman in the circusl In contemplating her brilliant post mortem career I am constrained, with "the apostle, to exclaim: “Oh, death, where is thy sting? . 0h, grave, where is thy victory?" After 1873 this country prospered as no oth- er ever did for 19 years, and we are asked to believe that it took this wide awake nation 19 years to find out that it was ruined by the legislation of 1873. The negroes in some sec— tions believe in a hoodoo charm. which is harmless for a year and then suddenly devel- ops insanity, fits, etc. The crime of 1873 seems to have worked in a hoodoo way. The Egg Argument. The 16 to 1 people tell us that the coinage of sil- ver will create unlimited demand for it. They decline to give us the howness or the wherefore- ness of this new born demand, but with child- like faith they expect it to rise in all its beau- ty as the fabled Venus rose from the froth of the sea. They say the demand will come: so the Seventh Day Adventists tell us the end will come, and if their picnic comes 03 first, they will not need silver: the demand will be for free and unlimited water. They contend. if this government takes all the silver that comes at 16 to 1, silver will be worth par all over the world, and they use an egg argu‘ ment to prove it. They say, if a merchant advertises that he will pay 25 cents per dozen for eggs, so long as he has the ability-to take all that come, eggs Will be worth 25 cents in all that country. But suppose the merchant did not take them! Suppose when a farmer drove up to his store the merchant said unto him: “My friend, you have misunderstood me. I am not buying eggs. I am simply count- ing them, certifying that they are good and handing them back to you. " What would eggs then be worth? The same old 10 or 15 cents per dozen. ~ Under unlimited coinage the government would not buy silver or guarantee the value of the coins. It would stamp it “without re- course." Silver would come from every coun- try in the world and the government would be a fool to undertake to guarantee the value of the coins by trying to preserve the parity between the metals. If a border drovo a lot of cow ponies through the mint and they were branded “$100 horse" and delivered to the owner at the other end of the building, it would not improve the breed of the ponies nor create a wild demand for them at' the ,brand price. Our government has lost $203,000,000 trying _to create demand for silver, for the sole and separate use, behoof and benefit of the silver mine owner. by buying it when it did not want it and had no need of it, and the silver mining “villain still pursues" it! Uncle Sam has this silver on hand now. It would load a two horse wagon train 173 miles long. putting 1,000 pounds on each wagon and letting them occupy 30 feet each in line, and I am mean enough to want to see him get even with the game before we start a new deal for anybody’s benefit. Can’t Stop the Flood of Silver. If the unlimited coinage of silver by our government could bring it to par. the imme- diate effect would be to start every.mine and mill in the world running at its utmost capac- ity, a. large portion of the" unemployed capi- tal of the ,world wc‘iuld seek this field, and the bowels of the mountains of the earth would be torn asunder to get the benefit of the double price. In 1894. $314,000,000 of silver was mined and sold at about 63 cents per ounce. price was raised to 129 cents per ounce, the 16 to 1 price, what: would the harvest be? The old rule of three will solve the problem. If a railway engine will run 90 miles an hour on 63 pounds of steam pressure, how fast would it run on 129 pounds of pressure? The blasted thing would have to stop once in awhile, and wait for its shadow to catch up. Senator Stew- ; art and his crowdtell us there can be no flood of silver. In Noah’s time there was a man of sanguine temperament like that. He was standing on the tip end of a high mountain .'/ fi‘. ble standard. A certain kind lady always. If the , and the waters were licking his toes. He hail- ed Noah and begged to be taken in the ark, but Noah had sailing orders from above and refused to take him aboard. As Noah sailed' away he shook his fist at the old man and ex- claimed, “Go to the devil with your old dug- out; it isn’t going to be much of a shower anyway.” The fifth proposition is that 16 to 1 coinage will increase the prices of property. If this government should open its mints to coinage of the World’s silver at 16 to l, we would go at once to silver monometallism. This is the voice of all history emphasized by the present status of every free coinage country on the earth. We can no more have bimetallism in actual use and unlimited silver coinage than we can have a square, round object, or dry, Wet weather. Wherein would the people be benefited if they get double prices in half val- ue money? If farmers’ products brought double prices so would the manufacturers’. The benefits and advantages would be equal, ex- cept that buyers would always deduct enough to safely cover the fluctuations of saver, and this amount would be a dead loss to . oducers and a premium to speculators. I knew a boy who sold 3 our dog for $100, but he took pay in pups at $20 apiece, so he was not material- ly benefited by the inflated prices. Cheap Money Hurts Labor. The infiationists admit that their scheme is against the interest of all those who live upon fixed salaries. This includes every one whose services are paid for by the year, month, week or day, from president of a railway system to hodcarrier and those who draw pensions from the government. 'History teaches that wages have never participated in boom prices created by dbbauching the money of a coun- try. They have remained ab t the same whether paid in good or bad money. The wage earner is a traitor to himself and his family when he lets his prejudice lead him to the inflation camp and agrees to take his fixed pay in a depreciated money. If this 16 to 1 movement should succeed, he would find that ,he had lost all the vantage ground for which he and his brethren had struck and struggled for a hundred years. The modicum of pros- perity in manufacturing interests in Mexico is based on the degradation of their labor. We do not want prosperity at such a price, and we are getting it rapidly without swindling our labor. When the laborer prospers, he becomes a consumer and his prosperity reacts upon and benefits all other interests. In Mexico they have many refined and wealthy people, but their laborer is a peon. He gets from 10 to 30 cents per day in money worth half its face value. He lives in a miserable mud hut, eats the poorest food that will keep his body alive, wears the meanest cloth that will hide it and is even denied the privilege of a gentlemanly jag and has to get drunk on cactus juice. In every silver or double standard country in the world the same degradation of labor is ap- parent. We are told that silver is the poor man’s money. This appeals to his prejudice and is wholly untrue. Wages are not paid in silver at the end of each day, but they are paid by the year. month or week, in currency or gold, with just enough silver to make the correct change. The kind of money in transit is im- material so it goes, but when it is boarded, laid by for a rainy day, then its staying qual- ity becomes interesting. The rich man hoards by investing in property or by depositing in a bank, and the bank has the option of paying him in silver, while a large per c t of the poor men patronize the sock leg and the bosom of the earth. and they always hide gold for two reasons—they have more confidence in its stability and being less bulky it is easier to hide. So these poor men are on a gold basis and the rich men are on a silver basis, if the banks elect to put them there. ' Prejudice is the curse of this country. .It is the only reef in the path of our ship of state, the only menace to our experiment of self gov- ernment. The prejudice of the uniformed makes them the prey of professional agitators, calamity howlers and politicians who are an hungered for ofiice. Our Excellent Financial Showing. The argument is made that we owe so much foreign debt that the interest is confiscating us. The ablest financiers on this continent who have made the subject a study place out foreign debt at $2,000,CO0,000, which as they es- ' timate at a 4%rate of interest amounts to an annual interest account of $90,000,000. Oui 'globe trotters are spending annually $47,000,- 000 abroad. Most of them are ignorant of the beauty and grandeur of their own country, ,. which far surpasses anything they see abroad. They ought to give up this foolish fad and spend their millions getting acquainted with this country for a few years. If we are actu- ally insolvent and cannot pay we ought to make a general assignment for the benefit of all our creditors. This is the way an honest man does when he fails in business. He does not hide out his property and offer 50 cents on the dollar. Instead ,of being insolvent we are better able to pay than any people on the face of the earth. Our national debt is in round numbers $915,962,000. It has been re- duced to one-third its former amount. In 1865. it was $2,845,907.000. The debt of Great Britain and Ireland (the creditor nation) is $3 350,719,- (XJO; the debt of France is $4.446,000,000: Rus sia, $3,491,000.000; Austria-Hungary. $2,866,000,- 000: Italy, $2,324,000.000: Germany, $1,656,000,- 000: Spain ( with one-fourth of our popula- tion), $1,251,000,000, The per capita debt of France is $116; 01 Great Britain and Ireland, $87 ; Italy. $76. Spain, $73; Russia, 836, while our per capita debt is $14. ,Uncle Sam, bless his old soul, is the only good housekeeper in the whole lot! Our bank deposits amount to $4,(ll0,000,000. while those of all Europe only amount tc 86.500.000.000. By our last census our per capita of wealth, as shown by the assessment rolls, was $341, and the people have never been bad about assessing their property too high. The war veterans cannot be for repudiation on account of our alleged inability to pay. It is a fundamental principle of law and morals that a man must be just before he is generous and that gifts made by an insolvent are void as to creditors. Our government is giving them about $140,000,0(Xl annually. If we can afford to be liberal, we ought to strain a point and be honest too. If our government can give it like a prince, it ought to pay like a gentle- man. Who Are the Debtors? A large part of the debts figured against us are in fact not interest bearing debts. They consist of railroad, real estate and other cor- poration debts where defaults were made, and mortgages on th property have been fore- closed, the proper??? sold and the debts prac- tically extinguished. The only debts that the people at large are interested in are the national debt and the state debts. The state debts, by the last cen- sus, amounted to $228,997,387. The county debts amounted to $145,048,045: school district debts, $36,701,948, while the debts of cities and towns amounted to $724,453,060, making a total of $1,135,210, 442. You will observe that about three-fourths of this total debt is owed by the cities and towns. With this, borrowed money they have built gas. electric light and water works plants, paved their streets. etc. Now, the 16 to 1 city man asks his country brother, who uses coal oil in his house and darkness outside, who draws his water from a well and bathes in the creek, who splits the mud in wet . weather and kicks up the dust in dry, to help him repudiate the debt incurred by him'in getting ahead of the countryman as to these comforts and conveniences of life. As to all our private domestic debts, it is immaterial to the government whether the redheaded men owo the black headed ones. or the black headed ones owe the redheaded ones. One holds the debt and the other holds the prop- erty it purchased, and they cancel each other. . Injustice of Scaling Debts. The suggestion is sometimes made that, by the enhancement of gold, debts have been in- creased when measured in property, and therefore they ought to be scaled. I have dis- cussed the gold enhancement theory, but de- sire to add: That practically all our debts were contracted since the gold standard was adopted, and but standard entered into and became a part of every contract. and if gold has advanced it- would be just :13 dishonest to pay by any other standard as it'would be if it had not advanced. If a man contracts for 1.000 bushels: of corn, it is no answer to his“ contract to say that corn has risen since the contract was made. Besides, all our obliga: tions have passed from hand to hand, most of them many times, and the present holders had, no more to do with the rise or fall of gold than they did with}\ be 1130 or fall of the tides. The underlying. fructifying element of this 16 to lmovement is socialism. It is the same old 6 1410 get something for nothing. The Coxeyites wanted grub for nothing. The sin- gle' tax cranks want land for nothing. The Populists want government monopoly of trans- portation and private monopoly of the wailing business for nothing. The 16 to 1 people want 50 per cent of debts for nothing. ’I he Bellamy- ites want everything for nothing. And I might suggest that the new woman wants our bifurcated garments for nothing, but that is not pertinent to the subject under discussion and I will not do so. The movement means repudiation. All else is theory, pretense and dreams. It is an effort to pass a left handed, bankrupt bill, \not for the benefit. of the unfortunate debtor who cannot pay, but for the rich .as well, who can pay, but want to beat their creditors. The poor man is not in debt; he never hada chance to get in debt. The corporations, speculators and plungers generally constitute the debtor class. Every wage earner belongs to the cred- itor class. N 0 one would be benefited by 16 to l coinage except the debtor class. Even the mine owner would not, for the temporary stimulus given to silver would increase its production until the price would fall below what it is now. On the other hand; all would suffer. If a bill for free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 were to pass either house of congress; and it was ascertained that. it would pass the other house and that the president would sign it, the panic that would ensue would be to that of 1893 what a tornado is to a zephyr. Creditors, to avoid being paid in debased mon- ey, would crowd and crush for payment as the people do for exit in a theater on an alarm of fire. Credit and confidence, the twin divini- ties of prosperity, would depart from us. All business would be paralyzed, labor unem‘ ployed, and despair would hang her black pail in a million of homes, only to be lifted when reason resumed her sway. It took France 50 years to entirely recover from the John Law fiasco. How England Is Ruining Us. The demagogues, in order to undermine the moral sense of the people and make repudia- tion palatable, rail about England’s wealth and falsely assert that she‘ is trying to dictate our monetary system and to crush us. England is rich, but if she is trying to ruin us she has a. peculiar way of manifesting her hostility. For the year ending June 30, 1894, she took $423,- 000,000 of our exports, about seven times as much as all the free silver countries in the world. We took $107,000,000 of her exports, and. she paid us the difference in gold or its equiv- alent. Did you ever hear a butcher or a baker or a man with cotton to sell complaining that his customers had too much money to spend? Instead of trying to drive us to a gold stand- ard, it would be immensely to her interest to have her commercial rival abandon the stand- ard of commerce and take aback seat with the half civilized, noncommercial nations. The ridiculous story of Ernest Seyd was exploded years ago, and, though the vase was shattered, the scent of that lie hangs round the country‘ still. The silver tongued orators still tell the people there was a conspiracy to demonetizc , silver, although no man has ever been able to 'call the name of a single conspirator. In 1873 the motive for demonetizing silver was on the wrong side. The silver dollar was then worth nearly 3 cents more than the gold dollar. Who at that time could foresee the fall of silver! Our statesmen and financiers are as shrewd as any on earth, and they got no glimpse of the coming event. Only to these unnamable con spirators was the revelation vouchsafed. It seems they had a little Patmos isle all to them selvl'es and worked the world on the heavenly t1 pSeveral congressmen. in the presence of an irate constituency, have stated they did not know the standard dollar was bein demoue tized when they voted for the act 0 1873. It was read several times in their presence. There is no way to make people understand things. They might have been deaf. One all sufficient reason why they did not so under- stand is that it was not being done. This dol- lar was not demonetized, but on the contrary has been money, and good money, every day since 1792. England has loaned us money ata lower rate of interest than anybody else would. This is the very head and front of all her offending, and the violent 16 to 1 people want to punch her head for doing this. There is an old adage which runs this way, “If you want; to lose a friend, lend him money.” \Vant Repudiation, Not Free Coinage. To prove that it is repudiation of debt and not coina e the 16 to 1 man is after, pro- pose to iim free and unlimited coinage without the legal tender attachment. f there is nothing the matter with silver except the fact that it is debarred from the mints, then free and unlimited coinage, without the legal tender provision, would set it all right and bring it to par. Gold would not suffer by such a test. Your proposition would nauseate him. Why? Because it is not coinage he is after, but repudiation by means of legal ten- der law. . They propose two plans for forcmg a debased silver standard on t 9 country. First. not 81'. low contracts for payment in gold. Second, if this does not work, then reduce the gold in a gold dollar. With reference to the first plan, maintaining the value of money by legal en- actment an (Penalties has been tried in most countries an has proven an i nomin_1ous fail- ure in every instance. Englan tried it off and on for nearly 500 years. France tried it for centuries. The north tried it w1th greenbacks and the south tried it with Confederate mon- ey. While it was a death penalty in France to refuse the assignats, they fell in value until it took $36,000 of them to 153510)’ $1 in specxe. Eggs must have been worth 3 a wee in 8831 nats. What a pity our inflation not have lived there and then! A glovernment can rob one part of its people fort e benefit of the other part as to exrsting debts, but there its power ends. is cannot make its people trade with each other, exce 11 upon terms satisfactory to both parties to t a contract. If the money offered to the seller does not suit him he does not sell. If offered to a laborer, he would need rest. If offered to a farmer for his produce, he would have only enough for home consumption, until he found a man with better money, and so it would be all along the line. The proposal to take- away the right of contract shows that desperation has usur ed the seat of reason. We hold all that we 0 hold by virtue of contract right. It is the bulwark of our liberty. It was for this, above all thin gs, that Magna Charts was written. When we surrender this supreme right, we go back to barbarism and become miserable puppets toevery mob that may seize the helm of state. A New Counterfeit Device. The other method suggested to bring about parit of the metals is to reduce the gold in a golt dollar. Our government has hitherto manifested blind, unreasoning ' pre udice against that kind of statesmanship. In eed it has had its deputy marshals busy for 100 years hunting misguided patriots who were tryrng to take this near cut to wealth. If this sort of a bill ever passes congress, I suggest asa rider to the bill that all convicted counterfeiters be liberated and given right of action against the government for false in risonment. All gov- ernments have honore their pione , and these men were but the forerunners—t 0 John the Baptists—of this new religion of debauch- ment of our money. A republic rests entirely upon the morals of its people. The story of Washington and his hatchet, told by loving lips to innocent child- hood, has made millions of truthful men and women. What would be the _ effect in this countr upon unborn generations of a story like this: At the close 0 the n teenth cen- tury the people of the United ates became so corrupt t ey repudiated one-half of their debts by paying t em in money" worth only half of its face value. , An American in a foreign land looks With a swelling heart upon Old Glory, as it proud- ly flaunts the breeze. the symbol of liberty and honor. Pass this act of repudiation and he would look upon it with shame. For en- thusing purposes we might as well pull it down and run u a dish rag. But, Mr. Presi ent and gentlemen, allow me in conclusion to say that our country IS in no danger of repudiation. This 16 to 1 coinage clamor is but one of the manirestaticns of hard times, brought on by the late panic. 0n low lands in the night time a deadly mzasma ac- cumulates. but when the bright sun. climbs over the mumps and shoots his purifym rays into the bottom, the miasma is dispellc , the atmosphere is sweetened and made wholesome, and men go forth to their da1ly avocations with assurance of health. In spite of all the isms that have afliicted us, in spite of dema- gogism on the stump and in legislative halls, this country is rapidly advancing. Our fac~ to'ries are taxed to their utmost with orders, riends coul and the wages of their employees have been ‘ everywhere voluntarily raised.

Henderson of this city United States sen- ator to fill the vacancy pending an election by the legislature, which will meet in April. Colonel Henderson is about 50 years old and for many years has been ac- tive and influential in Florida politics. He is a. native of Georgia, but since 10 years of age has lived in this state. Dur- ing the reconstruction period he was a recognized Democratic leader in the state senate. He was defeated for congress by his Republican opponent in 1874. In 1877 he was appointed state attorney and in 1881 was reappointed. For many years he has been vice president and general coun- sel (of the Florida Central and Peninsula railroad. ' H. W. Corbett Appointed. SALEM, On, March 8.—Governor Lord has appointed ex-Senator H. W. Corbett United States Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of the legislature to elect at its recent session.

It is understood that in view of these facts Consul General Lee has madea request to Captain General Weyler for Scott’s re- lease. It is understood that Weylor replied that the American citizen desired a civil trial. Consul General Lee remarked that it there 'were any doubt about the guilt of the American he should receive a civil trial, but in case his innocence was proved beyond doubt Scott should be released, as the Spaniards were.

The Arkansas Legislature Wouldn’t Take Down His Portrait For Bryan's. LITTLE ROCK, March 8.—An exciting scene occurred in the house of representa- tives Saturday when Representative Smith of Cross county offered a resolution to temporarily substitute the picture of Wil- liam J. Bryan for that of Jefferson Davis on the wall of Representative hall during the visit of Mr. Bryan to Little Rock this Week. The reading of the resolution was fol- lowed immediately by an uproar, there be- ing loud yells of “Never!” “No!” “We’ll never take Jeff Davis down!” and other similar expression of disapprobation. A motion to table the resolution prevailed without debate. The state recently purchased a large por~ trait of William J. Bryan done in oil by a Little Rock artist, and the object of Mr. Smith’s resolution was to honor the ex- caudidate on his visit to Little Rock by hanging the portrait temporarily in the position now occupied by the likeness of Jeff Davis.

BANGOR, Me, March 8.-—It is reported here upon very good authority that tho adjutaut general has ordered the colonels of all regiments in Maine that their com- mands are to be brought up to the require- ments for active duty.

' _ THE ORIGINAL ss tract Stamped II BOSS” AlWays the Same ARABS OF THE DESERT. some of'fl‘heir Tents Cover an Area of 2,000 Square Feet. Though nomads, the Arabs are re vers from necessity rather than choice, shys Century, and where fod—_, der and water are found in sufficient abundance they form permanent camps, surrounding theirtents witha compound of durra stalks. and fre- quently building stone or mud lodges for their guests. When on the march they are content with very small tents, easily packed and carried, but in their permanent camps their homes are of regal proportions. Some of the tents cover two thousand square feet. and are about eleven feet high in the center, sloping to five feet or so at the sides. The tent-cloth was, as usual, made of goat hair, and. parti-colored in broad stripes of" black, green, maroon, blue and white, while from the seams depended tassels from which other cloths are hung to divide the tent into separate apart- ments when occupied by a family. These tent-cloths are spun by the wo- men and children, as also are their saddle-cloths and trappings. The fur— niture is simple. Bugs are spread over the sand, and reclining cushions mattered about them. In the corner ls; a zeer, or large water—pot, and by it a (:ubir- yen, or drinking cup, of brass or copper. Round the side of the out is a row of painted boxes, in which are packed the household goods and chattels when moving, while a. few quaintly wrought lamps, half buried in the sand, a large earthen bowl used as a fireplace, com- plete the list. Yet There are Reasons “my Mendicants Shun Him. . There is a young lawyer of New York who has not refused alms for years, but who is shunned by every beggar who has met him. He has hit upon the expedient of giving but giving sparingly. His pock— ets are kept well supplied with small coins, and for every mendicant _wh'o approaches’he produces a penny. He reasons that if the man is starving, as he claims, a penny will save his life, and if he is a professional, as'is more likely, he has neither particularly in; zonvenienced himself nor afforded a. beggar the means to gratify a thirst. Long experience has given him an Linerring instinct for a mendicant. He can tell by the expression of a man’s face a hundred feet away if he intends to solicit alms. When such a one ap? proaches him and opens his mouth to speak, he reaches in his pocket With— out a word, hands him a penny and saun-ters on, not even looking at the mendicant. Frequently the air grows blue behind him, and a string“of earn- est oaths pursues him from the beggar Whom he has not even given the satis- l‘action of telling a hard-luck tale.— New York Mail and Express. Horses Wear Snow Shoes. All the horses working at the placer mine under the shadow of Pilot Peak, Plumas County, California, wear- snowsboes. The altitude of the place is about 5,500 feet and enormous quan- tities of snow fall there in the winter, not infrequently reaching to the depth 3f twenty feet, says the San Francisco Call. To overcome the disadvantages of the snow and enable the miners to carry on the projects of the mine snowshoes are put on the horses. By doing this sup- plies of groceries, meats, canned goods and the product of the mines can be transported. All picks, shovels, giant powder and similar things that have to ' be taken about in winter are handled in this way. , Only California-bred horses are used. It has been found these are the best, and, if possible, mountain horses—' those that are raised at high altitudes. The horses go right along in the snow. They usually take a fast walk. but sometimes they trot a. little. They get so accustomed to the snow- shoes that they do not stumble or fall at all, and like them so well that they don’t care to walk without them. They will put up their feet to have the. snowshoes put on. , , The trained snowshoe horses go any— where, no matter how precipitous the. mountains are, nor how deep the snow ls.—-New York Mail and Express. Ill Directed Sympathy. Belle—0h! I had the worst shock this afternoon that I ever experienced.
