Potter, w It was good to be back in the club house, good to receive the smiling greetings of the ebony servitors in tlio hails and the cloakroom, good to hear the clink of glasses and the shouts of laughter from a distant cardroom. So thought Dick Doan ns lie paused In the rending room and gazed with satisfaction at the rich furnishings in the mellow lamplight. Ills trip abroad lind done him a world of good. He was ready to take up the old life with new vigor. Suddenly the light died out of his face. Who was that speaking? Whitelenf? Yes,, that was WhiteleaC, the banker. “Jonas Ncrden will be the next may or of this city, gentlemen. He was promised it last fall, and today the di rectors of The Daily Times voted to support him ns the candidate in the coming caucus.” Dean stood motionless, his eyes fixed on the curtained doorway leading into a small committee room, an ominous light flashing from his deepset eyes. Whitelenf was the acknowledged party boss. ••That will be merry music for Dean to hear when he lands.” remarked a second speaker. “ He told me just be fore he sailed that you had promised him vour support during the coming FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE 33 and 35 State St., R O C H E S T E R , N.

The welfare of the par ty and—er—that North Benson fran chise call for a different chap than Dean for our candidate for mayor. But, mark my words, Dean will take hla medicine like a little man. He’d never desert the gang. Besides, I did not promise; Just hinted that he was In line for the lightning to strike—a sort of pink string promise. He’ll land an office some day. He’s young.” “ Yes, but suppose the buzzing bee de mands honey?” The curtains parted, and Dean stood before the astonished politicians. “ He does demand it, gentlemen. I am here to exact of Mr. Whiteleaf the fulfillment of that promise—pink strings or no, pink strings!” Whitelenf was the first of the quar tet to recover his composure. He was mentally calculating just how much of the conversation Dean had heard. 1 “ Glad to see you, Dick. Didn't look for you before the middle of the month. What will you have?” “ Nothing,” replied Dean, ignoring the outstretched hand, “ until you have ex plained the meaning of the speech I unfortunately overheard.” “ Come, come, my boy, don’t be hot headed. You have had enough experi ence in wirepulling to know that all Is fair In love, war and politics.” “A promise given and received in good faith should stand in love, war or politics. When I withdrew from the nomination in favor of Jenkins two years ago, you gave me a promise. Do you intend to redeem It?” Whiteleaf quailed before the angry young man and glanced uneasily at his colleagues. Think of the welfare of your par ty “ Will you redeem that promise?” in terposed Dean inexorably. • W h iteleaf lost his temper. “ I ’ll do as I darn please!” “That’s all I want to know,” replied Dean, with a calmness that should have warned the red faced banker of impending catastrophe. Then he walk ed back to the cloakroom, donned his raglan and went forth into the black, drizzling night. A moment later he met a young polit ical worker in his party. They had been schoolmates. Now one w a s a rich manufacturer, the other a wage earn ing mechanic. Daniel Porter was lead er of a certain faction of the party, so the manufacturer halted the mechanic, and as their hands met the rich man said; “ Dan, I'm out for the nomination this fall. Are you with me?” “Every minute, on conditions.” “ Can you swing the boys into line? “Yes, if you’ll \do business.” “ What do you mean?” “ Square yourself on certain points.” “ Name them.” “The city laborers want a fifteen cent a day raise in pay, the boys want Colo nel Hnndyside for city marshal, and they want M. J. King appointed on the board of license commissioners, and, of course, you’ll be expected to remember your friends when it comes to other ap pointive officers. That is about all my end of the combine wants.” “ And that is about all there is to be had, isn’t it?\ asked Dean, with a smile. “ Oh, there’s a few more things we may think of later. How do the ones mentioned hit you?” “ I am favorable to the city granting its laborers more pay. Colonel Handy- side would make an admirable mar shal. There can be no doubt as to Mr. King’s qualifications for a seat on the license board, and I should most cer tainly, if elected, favor my friends as far as possible.” “ Say, Dick, you’re just like all the rest of the silk stocking politicians.” “How so, Dan?” Porter tossed his cigar stub into the gutter, squared his shoulders, thrust his hands into his trouser pockets and answered; “Just this way: A fellow like me, with a little bit of a pull with a few hundred voters, runs up against a man like you who wants us to help elect him. We ask him right out plump to promise us certain favors, and it’s nine times out of ten a case of yes with a string on it.” “I do not understand bow this ap plies to me.” “ Well, then, I've told you that we’ll turn out and light for you if you’ll agree to do certain things, but you’ve unwilling to give us an out and out promise in return f.>r our help for fear some of your rich club friends will trot out the hammer. Old Whiteleaf led us into Jenkins’ camp two years ago, and we got it in the nock. Our necks are full of bumps, and this year we won’t accept any pink string promises. If you want to land in the mayor’s chair, you’ve got to do business on the level. If you agree to that, we’ll deliver the goods, and, I tell you frankly, we won’t unless you do.” “ I understand now, Dan, what you mean exactly, but I do not feel that 1 should give pledges. It seems too much like”— “You want to be mayor, don’t you?” “Yes, but 1 want to win honestly.” “ Well, now*, if you want to be mayor. let vom*- fHo-wif. i-w.’-r. vA’iy platform Played O f l Is one of the curious expressions used for worked out. Many a woman drops into a chair, in utter weariness \all played out,* and wonders why she feels so weak. She has not yet realized that the general health is *0 intimately related to the local health of the womanly organism, that weakness must follow womanly dis eases. Restoration of the general health invari ably follows the use of Dr. Pierce’s F a vorite P r e scription. It regulates the periods, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulcera tion, and cures female weakness. It the e ‘avorite Prescription,” for there is nothing \just as good ” for womanly ills. « I wish to advise the suffering women of this great land, of the good I have received from Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and ‘ Golden Med ical Discovery,’ ” writes Mrs. Mary ShappelL of Columbus Grove, Putnam Co., Ohio. \For four years I had been a sufferer from female troubles, and at times war unable to do even the house work for three in the family. I had such pains that I suffered almost death dozens of times, but after taking five bottles of your medicines I can truthfully say that my health was greatly ira- f ►roved. I have a good appetite ami am galniug n flesh right along. This spring is the first time in five years that I hove done my house cleaning all by myself and without the least fatigue whatever. I hope all suffering women may find relief as I have done. n My gain in weight has been just ten pounds, end lam still gaining.” Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, 1008 large pages, paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only, or for cloth-bouna book, send 31 stamps. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y . and go into the fight and win on it or lose. Half the rottenness of municipal politics would be done away with if this rule were followed, for the win ning platform would have to be for the best interests of the city, dr the people wouldn’t have it.” “You are quite a municipal student, Dan.” “ Do you agree with my theory?” “I must.” “Then all you’ll have to do is to de cide as to who you want for platform builders. Let them submit it to you. If you feel you can honestly carry out as an executive what the platform de clares for, sign it. Let it be published in the newspapers, and the majority of the voters will decide on election day ivliether the platform is of sound or rot ten timber. Let members of the city government be elected on the same platform, and there will be a backbone to your administration—men working under orders from the people, and not a lot of puppets wiggled about by a clique of moneyed men, as is the case at present. What is your opinion?” “My opinion is that your views are quite correct, but your associates and mine might differ greatly as to plat form planks and”— “Call together some of your friends— two men from each ward. Pick out men of intelligence, irrespective of ■ wealth or social standing. Tell them what you wish them to do. The plat form will be drawn up by majority rule, and the voters will decide wheth er it is for the city’s best interest or not. Doing this, you establish a prec edent. The opposition party will be compelled to follow suit, and each side will strive to present in future years the best platform possible for the peo ple's consideration.” “By Jove, Dan, your argument has won me, anti I'll do it!” “You will?” “Yes, and I W'ant you to serve on this — this platform committee from w'ard 3 . I leave it to your good judg ment to select fer me a man from each of the other wards. I will name a man in each ward myself, and a meeting will be arranged for Thursday even ings at the Worthy House. We will try this municipal scheme of yours, and, win or lose, I will cheerfully abide by the result.” Greenville W hiteleaf sat a t liis break fast Friday morning scanning the col umns of his morning paper. The ta ble girl entered the dining room in time to see him tear a page from the paper and, after kicking his chair aside, hastily leave the room. From the mo ment of leaving his breakfast table un til the closing of the ward caucuses, nearly a month later, the old banker worked Incessantly for the defeat of Dick Dean and the success of Jonas Norden. Money was used freely, but many of those who accepted it went into the caucuses and, protected by the secret ballot system, cast their vote for the man who had dared to say what he w'ouid do i f elected. The banker’s protege was’ buried by a vote of two to one. HOWTHE CHINESE GET RAIN P e c u l i a r P r a c t i c e s In V o g u e In th e C e l e s t ia l K i n g d o m , It Is one of the peculiarities of the Chinese that, while they have develop ed elaborate philosophies, none o f them has led to any confidence in the uni formity of nature. Neither the people nor their rulers have any fixed opinion as to the causes of rainfall. The plan in some provinces when the need of rain is felt Is to borrow a god from a neighboring district and petition him for the desired rain. If his answer is satisfactory, he Is returned to his home with every mark of honor; otherwise he may he put out in the sun as a hint to wake up and do his duty. A buncli of willow is usually thrust into his hand, as willow Is sensitive to mois ture. Auother plan in extensive use Is the building of special temples In which are wells containing several iron tab lets. When there is a scarcity of rain, a messenger starts out with a tablet marked with the date of the journey and the name of the district making the petition. Arriving at another city, he pays a sum of money and is allow ed to draw a new tablet from the well, throwing in his own by way of ex change. On the return journey he I f supposed to eat only bran and travel at top speed day and night. Some times he passes through districts as greatly in need of rain as his own. Then the people in these places way lay him and, temporarily borrowing his tablet, get the rain Intended for anoth er place. Prayers are usually made in the fifth and sixth months when the rainfall is always due, and a limit of ten days is set for their effective operation. Un der such conditions rain usually falls during the prescribed time. When the prayers are in progress, the umbrella, among other objects, comes under the ban. In some provinces foreigners have been mobbed for carrying this harmless article at that time.

If you are just on the point of mak ing a confidence, It Is a good plan to pause before doing so to note the pro portion between the times you have regretted giving a confidence and the times you have regretted withholding It. If after this you decide upon mak ing your friend a confidant, you must have weighty reasons for thinking him worthy of it. May—I wonder why Reggie never mar ried. Jack—He had a love-affair when quite young and has never gotten over it. May— Who was the object of his affec tions ? Jack—Himself. DEATH BY ARSENIC. FLORIDA . W h y H e B o l t e d . A t one of the clubs one evening Mr. Montagu Williams met L o r d ---- , who had just lost his father. The young lord w a s naturally melancholy, and the lawyer proposed visiting a theater opposite, which proposition was ac cepted. There was a slight fire in the theater, whereupon the young lord was among the first to bolt, “like a rabbit,” out of the building. Returning leisure ly to the club, Mr. Williams found there his young friend quietly smok ing a cigar. “W hat on earth made you bolt that w a y ? You seemed frightened out of your wits (not a difficult matter, per haps). Don't you know that on such an occasion if everybody got up aud rushed out a panic would ensue, with very likely fatal consequences? Why on earth couldn’t you sit still, as I did? There was nothing serious the mat ter.” Upon this, with the most pat ronizing air, the young gentleman re plied, “ Oh, yes, that's very well for you, but you've not just succeeded to a peerage and £20,000 a year.” T h e W a y T h i s P o i s o n A c t s U p o n th e H u m a n S y s tem . When a single dose of arsenic in suf ficient quantity to be felt has been tak en, colicky pains, bowel disorder and perhaps nausea result. In the course of an hour after a poisonous dose has been taken an intense burning pain is felt In the esophagus and stomach. This spreads to the entire anterior por tion of the lower part of the trunk. A sense of constriction at the throat and an acrid, metallic taste accompany the pain. Then vomiting and relaxation of the bowels begin. As the case pro gresses the symptoms increase in in tensity. Then comes a thirst that w a ter will not allay, although it appar ently increases the stomach disturb ance. The victim groans and writhes. Now he implores the doctor to save him. Then be begs to be killed and put out of pain. The extremities become icy. The pulse is small, feeble and fre quent, and the breathing is labored, embarrassed and painful because of abdominal tenderness. The surface of the body becomes dark and of that bluish color that medical men call cy- anosed. Violent cramps add their tor ture, exhaustion becomes collapse, con vulsions or coma ensues, and death ends the agony. This torture lasts sometimes from five to twenty hours. In some cases these symptoms occur, but in a modified form, and the doctor will apparently get the better of the disease. The remission will be but for a day or two. Then the abdomen will swell, and icy coldness will pervade the frame. Shivering will become pro nounced trembling, then cramps, con vulsions and death.

Few of our native trees have odorif erous wood like the sandalwood of the islands in the Indian ocean, but a few of the coniferte on the Pacific slope have sweet scented woods. The fine church at Metlakatla, built by the civ ilized Indians of Alaska, is as fra grant as if incense were continually floating through the air from the wood of the great arbor vitse (Thuja gigan- tea) of which it is built. Libocedrus dccurrens, found farther south, is known as “Incense cedar” from its fragrance. The yellow cypress (Cu- pressus nutkaensis) and the Monterey cypress (Cypressus macrocarpa) have also scented woods. In the Atlantic states red cedar and arbor vitce have scented wood.—Meehan’s Monthly. B i r d s A r c L i k e H u m a n B e in g s , Canaries, like human beings, vary very much in character, some cocks be ing so indifferent and idle that they will let the hen do all the work of building and rearing, while they them selves sit and plume their feathers. Others, again, are perfect gentlemen in their manners, waiting on the hen with a quiet courtesy and seeing that all she requires is at once brought to her. Again, the hens vary in disposition, some lieus behaving in a quiet, modest way, attending to their young ones with regularity, while others ajre in a constant state of chatter with their husbands, pecking and arguing with them every time they go near. Thus we see that these little birds have their tiffs and domestic quarrels, not unlike oxlrselves.—Chambers’ Journal. Child Worth Millions.

James Russell Lowell said, “There’s a deal o’ solid kicking in the meekest looking mule.\ )f the statement had been, “ There’s a good deal of obstinacy covered by apparent amiability,” the re mark might have passed without a mo- lient's notice, but attached to such a figure as the poet used it will be diffi cult for the mind ever to get rid of it. Mnzzinl sn3rs, “ Labor is the divine law of our existence.” This is little more than commonplace, but when he added, “ Repose is desertion and sui cide.\ the commonplace was transfig ured Into a memorable illustration. A French writer said, \The really ef ficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work.” That seems to be forgettable. When he adds, “He will saunter to his task surrounded by. a wide halo of ease and leisure,” the halo serves the purpose of an explana tory illustration. President Garfield once said, “ Nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim for himself.” The tossing over board was the illustration. The saga cious president gave it significance and emphasis by personal reference, “ In all my acquaintance I never knew a man to be drowned who was worth the sav ing.” When Lavater said, “Habit is alto gether too arbitrary a master for me to submit to,” it was the word “ master” that constituted the memorable illus tration. Carlyle, a great master of metaphor, said truly: “ No man lives without jos tling and being jostled. In all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offense.” The doctrine of this sentence might easily have become a mere platitude, but It is fixed upon the memory by jos tling and being jostled and the elbow ing of oneself through the world. This illustration Is the very making of the argument.—Joseph Parker, D. D., In Homiletic Review. T o C u r e th e S t a m m e r e r . It is said that stammerers rarely if ever show any impediment of speech when speaking in whispers. On this fact a method of treatment has been advocated, which is as follows: For the first ten days speaking is prohibited. This will allow rest to the voice and constitutes the preliminary stage of treatment During the next ten days speaking is permissible in the whisper ing voice, aud in the course of the next fifteen days the ordinary conversation al tone may be gradually employed. A F a w tldloun D o ff. “Yes,” said the manager of the de funct “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” company, “it was our dog that broke up the show.” “The dog, eh ? \What was the matter with him?” “Too fastidious. You never saw such a hound in your life. You know the play, of course. We tie a piece of meat In the folds of Eliza’s frock, and that’s what draws the dogs after her when she runs across the blocks of ice. Well, what do you thing this dog demanded?” “Can’t imagine.” “Porterhouse beefsteak, sir, and with the tenderloin left in! l'es, sir. How’s , that? -And you couldn’t fool him. He wouldn’t chase Eliza n foot unless the meat was a choice cut. No, sir. And, by gum, sir, our company had to live on liver and bacon so that blamed dog could have his steak. Yes, sir.” “The demand was too much for you, was it?” \No it wasn’t. That is, It wasn’t until he began to insist upon mush rooms with bis steak.

The Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks of the Progress that Has Been Made in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases in the Last Forty Years. Very few Doctors, who began their prac tice forty years ago are left to tell the story of the ways and methods of those earlier times. The old saddle-bags contained Dover's powder, Calomel, Fink and tienna, the last given to the young to cure worms, and also to give proper religious bent. Bleeding, even to the point of prostration, was an adjunct to the drug remedies. The Allopathic School held the fort for many years; it was finally changed and modified by the Homeopathic and Eclectic Schools, and the Galvanic Incubator. Taking all the different schools of med icine, including those called irregulars, the Christian Scientists, Magnetic Healers, Os teopaths have failed to give us any surety of perlect diagnosis aud treatment of disease. They make lamentable f ailures as yet, showing their knowledge very imper fect and not to be relied upon. We still have heart disease, sugar diabetes, Bright’s disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism, paralysis and ail other various ills that seem to baffle the skill of the phys ician to rightly name the disease or perform a cure. First, we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are the result of long years of toil and research, and that deep down in human life the loftiest truths are boro.
