further aid. "It's our last trip to

Always in Trouble.
The following dispatch from
Wavurly describe-how W Mil
ler, chairman ul the dmtncralic
statu central coinmillci' has -nguin
run amuck:
"l'he long warfare of the local
physicians by C. W. Miller, editor
of the Demcc.-at, riau'ted in an oc
currence last night that will be
greatly deplored in this community.
Aroused by an especially bitter
attack on him in the last issue of
the Democrat, and by an instilling
remark addiessed to him on jh*
street, l.l-. .J. J-'. Auner infomtd
Air. Miller lo defend himself as he
was in for a heating. Theie was a
lively scrimmage in wliic'i Mr
Miller was quite badly beaten up.
Dr. Auner was injured also. Tbe
combatants wero separated by by
standers.
Tlio persistent attacks ol Mr
Miller on the Iccal physicians havo
been deeply resented by them and
their large circle of friends lor some
time. It is certain that Waverly's
physicians in ability and character
are the peers of the best physicians
in cities of similar size in the state,
and their conduct has been no more
worthy of scathing and tcurrilious
criticisms than has the conduct of
physicians of other localities. The
malice with which Mr. Miller has
taken advantage of his editorship
of a newspaper to persecute them
has been entirely unwarranted.
It is to bo regretted, however,
that the differences between Mi
Miller aud the physicians resulted
in a personal altercation between
himself aud one of their number.
It is reported that Mr. Miller has
filed information against Dr. Auner,
charging him with assault mid but
tery. No arrest had been made when
this dispatch was written."

TOMORROW'S BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where It Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.
Most people who have read Jules
Verne's "Around the World In Eighty
Ua.vn" will remember how narrowly
the traveler lulled his bet, having for
gotten that In following the sun from
east to west he had gained oue day.
When one roesos the Atlantic from
London to Xew York he gains rather
more than half an hour eaeh day.
From* New York, to Chicago another
hour 1 gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco, which Is reck
oning time eight hours later than Lou
don and of course the best part of a
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha
ma. In crossing the l'acitle thero
conies a time when the day beglus,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hatuls and where the traveler is* cheat
ed out of a da.v in his life.
Iu mid-l'acllie, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has* one day of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, us the ease
may be.
The Hue of the ehauging day is not
a straight one. The islands in the Pa
cific take their time from the continent
with which they trade aud from which
they were discovered. Thus the Hue
of the change zigzags dowu the Pa
cific from south to north, dodging be
tween the islands.
Hence It might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an Island which clings to
Sau Francisco time, lu such a case it
would be Monday on shore aud Tues
day on the ship.
If the ship's Jolly boat were lying at
a wharf, It would be Monday on tlie
wharf aud Tuesday ou the boat.
And If a persou lives somewhere
near the line he caa get a sailboat aud
visit yesterday and tomorrow lu the
most delightful fashion.

A National Trait.
A traveler returned from Jaffsi tells
Ibis tale ut his own ciipeuMf. ijaviug
Journeyed to the historical seaport on
Jii.s way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in
hiring a conveyance to *:trrv him to
the station. Hy speech aud gesture he
informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in a leisurely,
sightseeing fashion through as''many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares of Jaffa and lo be delivered at
the terminal just time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated hftURelf in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveler at a furious pace
through all the dust and over nil the
stoues of the notoriously rough streets
of Jaffa. Tiie passenger was too busily
employed hi saving his bMies to be
able to see auythlng of the interesting
towu.
Arriving at the station, he found.that
he. still had two hours to wait.
"Why In the world," he demanded
indignantly.
:,did

He was the only man at the table

belle of the table remarked that she
was very fond or pepper ami theu sift
ed half the contents of the pepper box
over her food he sprang au old. gag ou
her.
"It won't hurt you. This pepper is
half peas."
"What is tfjat you sayV" asked the
landlady from the next table. Speak
a little louder, please."
He reiterated his remark.
"That isn't true." retorted the land
lady hotly. "I do not use adulterated
goods on my table."
"My deer madam," said the bland
joker, "there are always a lot of p's iu
pepper."
There was au impressive pau.e. Theii,
the landlady said in a crushing voice:
"Oh, yes, just as you always furnish
part of the dessert."
"I don't understand."

Did She Keep Her Temper?
Mr. Riles Is a very hasty tempered
man, but he Is also one who keeps his
promises to the very letter. Therefore
Mrs. li. has trained him to believe
that second thought.-* are best and even
in a moment of his weakness extract
ed from him a promise always to

Sunday he rushed into the hack draw

"Hush, dear," said the sweet woman.

if you had conquered the world,"

Long Sentences. -/V
Ruskin, it is said, has writteii more
sentences of inordinate length than
any other classic jvrlter of moderu
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in a num
ber of typical sentences, llndlng that In
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for liuskhi to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief of a full stop. But In
every case the sense Is cleaf as day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac
ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable
example of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists of two very
long compound seutences almost en
tirely comprised of adjwrtlval clauses.
Tfcp longer of the two sentences con
tains fifty-seven decasyllabic lines.
This is probably a record iu English
verse.—Argouaut.
