Again it is announced that Henry
31. Stanley, tho lost African explorer,
has been found. We venturo to predict
that he will proceed at onco to get lost
again.
In order to bo ablo to exhort by ex

and let's give tho old town a
shove forward.
Tho railroad commission bill has
been killed by postponement of its
consideration until April 20. This
action also prevents tho possibility of
tho passage of any similar law by the
present legislature.
THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.
"When I came to my desk last
Wednesday morning," said John Wan
namaker, the merchant, "I was natur
ally thinking about the christmas trado
which wo had. We did a great deal
of christmas business in this storo this
j car. During tho ten days previous
to christmas our sales hovered about
$100,000 a day. Tho grand total for
the ton days falls only a few dollars
under a million. I spend $5000 a week
in advertising, and I pay a skillful
man a former newspaper editor, and
a good one $1000 a month to do it
for mo. I make money by it. Ad
vertising is the leverage with which
this store has been raised up. I do
not sec how any largo and successful
retail business can be dono without
liberal advertising. I advertised in
every issue, excepting Sunday, of eve
ry daily paper in Philadelphia. Con
tinuous advertising, liko continuous
work, is the most effective.
EXCHANGE CHAT.
The majority of 3IcLennan county's
delinquents, wo arc informed, reside in
Waco. The uncomplimentary forco of
this fact is removed by calling to mind
another fact, which is that a majority
of tho population of tho county are
residents of Waco.
A Hoosier has been given a verdict
of $14,000 damages against the Penn
sylvania railroad company for loss of
a leg. Where jpon tho Now York World
remarkd : "Indiana men como high in
these days. A year ago Hoosier legs
were not quoted at a very high figure
in tho market. But times change, and
men change with them "
Tho question agitating Washington
religions circles now is what church
President Harrison will attend. It is
surmised that he will divido his time
between tho various places of worship
in order to prevent any church from
being overrun by the crowd of visitors
that would likely be attracted thither
by his continued prosence.
An Iowa man, iupposed to bo a land
speculator, undertook to work up a
ghost scaro in the neighborhood of
Casev, in that slate, in order to depre

view of purchasing. Ho was succeed
ing admirably until ono night a farm
er's buggy horso took fright at the ap
parition and ran away nearly killing
tho farmer's wife. Tho farmer, armed
with a shot gun, watched for the ghost
four nights. When it finally appeared
tho farmer filled it with buckshot. It
. cried, "3Iy God, don't shoot anymore"
and fell to tho ground. Tho farmer

A Blilwaukeo man, at present in
Kansas City, is endeavoring to organ
izo a company to handle tho latest
drop-thc-money-in-the-slot invention.
His devico is a patent faucet, to bo at
tached to a water cooler. Tho device
is about the size and shapo of a small
alarm clock. On the front of it is a
sprine, in tho bottom the faucet and
on top tho slot. Press tho spring and
you will get no water. Drop a penny
in tho slot and then press tho spring,
and tho wator will run until your glass
is full, and not a drop more. Tho
sohemo is to put coolers with the pat
ent faucet on all tho street corners dur
ing tho summer months and keep them
filled with ice wator. The device can
also bo arranged so that it requires a
nickel to work it and attached to a
beer keg, so tho imentor says.

UNREWARDED WORKERS.
3Iemphis Aappeal : Wanamaker
owes his place in Harrison's cabinet to
the fact that he subscribed $100,000
to the republican campaign fund. If
that is right, Piatt and Miller, of New
York, who made tho trado by which
Harrison received the electoral voto of
that state, should also have had places
in the cabinet. Harrison himself, in
his letter to Wanamaker, said that tho
"workers" should bo provided for.
CHESTNUTS FOR REPLY.
Courior-Journal : Tho simplest
way to stop tho stale bloody-shirt mis
representations in congress, and give
tho country a rest from tho old, thread
bare stories, is for ovjry democratic
congressman to provide himself with
a chestnut boll. This little bell, sound
ed whenever a cheap statesman begins
to fight the war over again, would

A LESSON HARD TO UNLEARN.
Foit Worth Gazette : Daniel La
ment, having been voted $6000 back
pay in tho bill to increase the salary
of tho executive secretary, declined it.
It seems that Daniel will never get
over his newspaper lesson, that the
only thing in this world not worth
having is money.

Sagacity of Shepherd Dogs.
A gentleman who has had consider
able to do with shepherds and drovers
in England and Scotland, speaking of
tho story published in Tho Orcgonian
a day or two sinco about a dog sepa
rating tho owes and wethers of a flock
by noticing tho earmarks, says there
is no doubt but what it is true. He
has known dogs to go into a drovo of
shcop which were marked with sev
eral different marks and singlo out
overy ono bearing his master's mark.
Ho says tho shepherds train their dogs
by taking them along when puppies
under their caro as they mark the
sheep, and tho dog is thus taught to
distinguish marks. Ho says further
that at tho sheep market in Islington
drivers havo their sheep marked with
red orbluo paint, and when the drives
get mixed a dog will go into tho band
and bring out all his master's sheep,
telling them by the color of tho mark
ing. Shepherd dogs aro tho most in
telligent species of tho canino family,
and when they aro brought up among
herds of sheep and trained to tako
charge of them it is but reasonable to
supposo that they might learn to notice
marks of any kind on them. Port

A Terrible nattle with Rats.
Silas Berry, of this placo, had an ex
citing fight with rats in which he
won a costly victory. Ho works on a
farm near by, and yesterday morning
entered a pit in which brewer's grain
is stored for feeding purposes. It is
about ton feet deep and is entered by a
ladder. When Berry reached tho bot
tom a largo rat ran up his trousers
leg. Ho shook it out when its squeals
brought hundreds of rodents to its
help. Berry was in total darkness and
was attacked from all directions. He
at onco shouted for help and began
fighting as best ho could. After
twenty minutes his cries were heard
and help came. When ho was taken
out of tho pit ho was completely cover
ed with blood. When fully convinced
that ho was safo ho fainted dead
away from joy. His body is covered
with bites and scratches and it will b
a long timo before ho recovers. Forty
eight dead rats, somo of enormous
size, uo taken from tho pit having
been killed by Berry in his desperate
light. Newton Cor. Philadelphia

1 saw three curious things in th

best thing 1 saw was a pencil margi
nal note to an articlo in Vorum. The
passago in tho text read: "To marry
is not an obligation, as might bo
thought from current talk. It is
purely optional. Ho who refrains
from wedlock and fatherhood cannot,
in tho overcrowded stato of the globe,
bo charged with a violation of duly to
his fellows. V Tho marginal note, in a
