BOB BUKDETTE in one of his lectures
said : "Men have fought , bledanddied , ;
but not for beer. Freedom did not
shriek as Kosciosco fell over a whisky
barrel , and even the battle of Brandy-
wine was not fought that whisky might
be free. "
A WELCH poet has written some ver
ses on the Nicolini-Patti wedding.
Here is an extractLlanwer wynwes
hen gwoniawe acherddorol dan.1 These
be hard words , but they may be deserv
ed , considering the way Patti and Nic-
olini have been "carrying on'1 for some
years. Patti is " 'no chicken , " but it is
rather ungallant to call her a "wynwes
hen. " Norristown Herald.
AN exchange says it is just as impor
tant for a girl to make good bread as to
paint a picture. It may be ; but a girl
can't throw "soul , " tone , technique ,
feeling , chiaro oscurro , and such things
into a loaf of bread. The latter , however ,
put in a frame and hung against the
parlor wall , would no doubt look quite
as attractive and artistic as the picture
painted by the girl. Norristown ( Pa. )

BOB BURDETTE recently enjoyed a
"campin' out'5 vacation , which he in part
describes as follows :
'The bluest skies , the brightest stars ,
the loveliest night in all this land greets
me with the blessing of peace. The
night wind is sighing softly in the gen
tle swaying tree tops , a lullaby of the
summer night , a liquid whisper , the
very undertone of the zephyr , scarce so
loud as the purling murmur of the
dreamy little brook , crowing itself to
sleep in the starlight. That is all. "
N'L , ' " said the President. "I ob
serve that Union College has made you
an ] M. A. andVarner Miller an L. L. D.
I congratulate both of youDau'l , though
it would seem that if you arc an M. A. ,
I ought to be something with at least
four letters in it. But tell me , Dan'l ,
did any of those Xew Hampshire col
leges confer any degree on Dave Hill ? ' '
"Si , signer , " returned the accomplish
ed private secretary. "You surprise
me ; what degree was it ? " ' > ? . Gmy
liege. " Whereupon his excellency
laughed merrily , and vowed that Dan'l
had a lively wit. Buffalo Express.
HUGH G. G-AVIGAX , the democratic
postmaster at Columbus , Kansas , who
was convicted on Saturday of conspira
cy to blow up and burn the court house
in order to destroy the records of some
of his frauds , is an old and slick offender.
A few days previously he had been con
victed of forgery in the second degree
in connection with the same land frauds.
The methods of Gavigaii and his con
federates were brought to light on the
trial. They would purchase real estate ,
wild lands principally , and have it deed
ed to fictitious persons. Then they
would make applications for loans , des
cribing the property as improved real
estate , with buildings , and give notes
and mortgages signed by fictitious per
sons and pocket the proceeds. Gavigan's
thefts in this way aggregated § 80.000.
He was the democratic candidate for
auditor of state two years ago.

THE oleomargarine bill has passed
both houses of congress and will doubt
less receive the president's signature.
Hereafter "oleo" ' will have to sail under
her own colors , besides paying a tax of
two cents per pound.
COXGHKSS has finally passed the bill
for the relief of settlers on the Otoe and
Missouri reservations. The bill extends
the time to purchasers two years and
protects in their purchase and settle
ments all who have entered upon the
lands up to this time.
THE Pittsburg Times gets off the fol
lowing pointed remarks on vetoes :
"Some persons think that certain of the
President's vetoes must have been writ
ten by Eugene Higgins , who was a
keeper of Libby prison and used to in
dulge in humors not unlike the presi
dent's. "
THE organ of the laboring men in
Terre Haute says : "No man should be
permitted to become a member of the
organization who is not a temperate [
man , a respecter of himself as a man , a
cood , deserving , home-loving , family-
protecting citizen. " If such safeguards
were thrown about labor organizations
they would accomplish great results.
GROVER , THE HERO.
o
For The Inter Ocean.
Oh , yes , he is a hero ,
The greatest of the Uny ;
He wrote a little veto.
And it stopped the widow's pay.
Yet her husband was a soldier.
One who tor his country died :
Hut "My little veto message
Knocked her pension claim abide. '
And the during cavalier ,
He who fought with Sheridan ,
Who was injured most severe ,
"Veto" served our heto's plan.
As I represent the party
That is boasting of reform ,
I miibt watch the Nation's treasure
When the pension harpies swarui.
Yes , our G rover is a hero ,
Is the hero of the day :
Is the hero of a party ,
Vho would not a pension pay.

YOURS IN HASTE.
( THE CHNTUHY Bric-a-Hrac. )
I loved that dainty monogram.
With three slim letters interlaced.
Above the notes she used to write
Signing them ever , "Yours in haste , "
The world was young , and so was I :
Ho\v sweet to think that in the whirl
She kept one moment all for me ,
To glad niy heart mjradiant girl I
The world is old , and so am I ;
And since my love became my wife.
It seems to me I"v somehow been.
Too lute for everything in life.
With ribbons Hying , gown awry.
With panting breath and boots unlaced.
True to her vows of yore , she's been.
Both now and ever mine "in haste. "
