A POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
The New York Herald, Mr. James
Gordon Uennetl a paper, in hh
rial says there are signs tbat a pom
leal revolution is sweeping through
the mind.- of the American people and
that not only congress hut fbe presi
dencv itself Is in sight for the Demo
crats' If the present, change of thought
keeps up. U says that undoubtedly
the "resistless tide of popular senti
ietk is now turning distinctly Parker
ward."
The Herald has always been lnde
pendenlly Democratic, but refused to
support Mr. Bryan In eithes of his
campaigns. It posea rather a Hie
special representative of the ctterv-
ative thought of the eounrry. 11 nas
several times attracted the attention
uf the country by the exactness wlh
which It ha forecasted presidential
elections. Hecce, the following edit
rial under the caption "In II a Polii

auich comfort to the great Democrat

can. enjoy Ida own opportunities for

others. Wo do not take any pleasure
In our own modVst horse and carriage,
because wo long for tho automobile
or victoria that soma on else owns.
Tho edge is taken off the enjoyment
of our own little homo because we
are watching the palatial residence of
our neighbor. We can got no satis
faction out of a trolley ride into the
country or sail on a river steamer,
because someone else can enjoy tho
luxury of his own carriage or yacht.
Life has its full measure of happiness
for every one of us, If wo would only
make up our minds to make the very
most of every opportunity that comes
our way instead of longing for tlii
things -that come our "neighbor s way.

PRISON HABIT WAS STRONG.
Former Inmates Unconsciously Fell
Into the Lock Step.
The three met In the park last Sun
day morning and, lighting weeds,
seated themselves on & handy bench,
after which the conversation became
fluent, or until one of the trio men
tioned casually:
"That fellow over there leaning
against a chain bears tho prison mark
if ever a man does."
"I fall to see any thing remarkable
about him other than that ho Is
seedy " -
"No. Is not that I mean he
glances fit. passers from the corner of
his eye. There, he moves to the next
post. Notice that walk?"
"Nonsenso! Walks with a slight
hitch, that's all. What do you think
about it. Brown?"
But Brown didn't think, nnd If he
did he said nothing. He was strange
ly silent all at once, though until the
ugly subject came up he had been
he busiest talker of the trio.
"I say, Brown, do you think that
poor fellow over thero Is a prison
bird?"
"I hore not, for his sake. If he has
been o;:e I pity him. He will run
afoul of the hard old past wherever
he goes even here In tho quiet park
of a bright Sunday morning. I'oot
devil! I am going over the way to
speak to him, offer him a little help
if he needs It." ,
Brown crossed the drivo and
touetd the needy man on the arm.
The seedy ono turned with a fright
ened look, but a smile came upon bis
facy nnd he started to say something;
but Brown uttered quickly in an un
dertone: "ii'ush.' not .here! Move along and I
will follow. I want to help you if I
can."
And before Brown knew what be
wns doktig he hnd both hands upon
tho other's shoulders and was lock--stepping
with Jilm away from the
drive toward a sequestered part of
'.he park. Now York Sun.
A Straight Tip.
DonaM Fester Lloyd, ono of the
local ( ITa-iala of the 1'oi.tal Telegraph
company, overheard a conversation
the other tiay between two meesen
ger boys that made him smile. Ono
of the lads was u very dirty looking
qieclnien. His badge was tarnished,
hi", sheet were badiy run over and
almoft worn out and his uniform
'.v.is frayed and covered with dust.
Tha other youngster was somewhat
4 tie worse for wear as far as bis ger
mrnts were concerned, but be was
br-.i-hed up a bit. and he wore a
somewhat soiled but very high col
lar, set off by an exceedingly loud
necktie.
"You'd better watch out," he said
to the first boy, "or c dog-catcher
will get you."
The dirtiest urchin's Inquiry as to
why he need fear the collector of
canines brought this retort: "Be
cause yoa hain't got no collar on."
