Eldor Penstock aroso and replied that ho had ono, ami ho was about to state It when an accident occurred to prevent. Tho eldor used to own a parrot when ho lived In Detroit. Ono day he was running Ids tongtto out at tho bird when ho re ceived a "peck" which almost disabled that organ. Slnco then, whouovor ho gets ready to speak' 1 11 public, he slips a vest bucklo Into his mouth, Ho had Justdono so on this occasion whon Satnuol Shin gavo him a kick as a hint that two big watermelons wore In tho anteroom waiting for adjourn ment. The eldor was startled, and tho bucklo was sucked back luto Ids throat, and two members had to rush him out. When tho door had closed behind him Brother Gardner said "Do secretary will tnako do record dat 4ls club has no theory an' don't want oue."

Colonel Hnofwcll Taylor then moved that a resolution Introduced by him two weeks ago and laid on tho tablo be taken up for action, "If I remember right," replied Brother Gardner, "It was a resolushuu to do effect dat do windmill Is of greater public bcucilt dan do railroad." "Yes, uah." "Bruddor Taylor, did you eber own a wltidmlllf" "No, nab." "Was you eber personally acquainted wld a wludmlllr" "N no, sah, but I'so seen 'em." "Jlst bofo' you IntroducoJ dat resolu shuu you went up to Nyack, didn't your" "Yes, tali." "Started to return ou a freight tralnr" "11 did, salt I wanted to see do ken try." "Got frowed off, didn't youj" "Yes, sah. Conductor frowed me right off, an' I had to walk eleven miles." "I see. It may bo dat de windmill baa brought dls kontry to Its presout enviable state of clvlllzasbuu, while de railrodo hasn't bin doln' numn' to brag about, but we ain't gwluo to commit ourselves. I shall urap uat resoiusuun ouior no auey winuer, an' you bad better sot down an' stay down." Hear Admiral Calltr tben secured tho floor and said that ho had lately been the orizing a good deal about tho weather. He had also discovered that all tho warm waves had come from Florida, and all the cold oucs from Montana. These waves Where uot discov ered nnd steps taken to prevent their eprcndr It seemed to him that a cold wave could be warmed up and a hot wavo cooled otl If persons provided with tho proper ap pliances were on the ground. As congress did uot seem inclined to take hold of the matter, why didn't tho Cotton Blossom club go ahead and conduct a series of ex periments? Ho didn't sigh for famo him self, having now a plo staud In Thompson street which brought him In over ten dol lars per week, but it was a great opportu nity for the club as a club to distinguish iUelf. "Yes, I 'spoct It am," replied Brother Gardner as the admiral sat down, "but de club will leave de hull subjlck In de hands of Its weather prophet to take keer of, au' meanwhile de wise man will keep his gauze undershirt an' Ids beaver obercoat hauglu' on de same peg an' ready fur any sort of a wave.

Ipal affairs oilenslvo form from decayed teeth and i ,nenn to f.1 tllcro: from mucus adhering to the walls of tho mouth nnd throat, which has been de composed by tho gases and acids of tho system. A simple nnd effective way to remedy this is to drop a few crystals of permanganato of jiotash into a tumbler of water, and garglo the throat and rinso the mouth well with it after each meal, or before going to bed and in tho morning. This solution is a perfect de odorizer of all organic decay, and neu tralizes the oilenslvo odor arising from tho decaying particles of food which re main in the cavities of or lictwceu the teeth, etc. It is harmless. A Few Hid Iteinnrks by lite Kill tor of the Great Journal. Pr.lisoNAU We never speak of ourself In tlio columns of our own paper when we can possibly avoid It, It Is not In good taste for any editor of a great Journal to do so. We shouldn't do so on this occasion If not forced to In order to set certain rumors at rest. About a year ago Major A. Iloyt Dudley struck this town with his family. Ho sub scribed for Tho Kleker and all went well for n tlmo. He was made assistant county clerk, nnd It was not until ho began to get drunk and light his cigars with deeds and mortgages that we had anything to say. Ho felt revengeful for our remarks, and In order to get even with us gave a grand party one night last wcok and cut us dead. Not only that, hut he bragged of It, and so did his wife. The Idea was to !ollttto and degrade us In asocial way, but wo don't think any oue will try It ou ngaln, We tele- ? implied up to Jollet that the major was lore, and day before yesterday ho was taken back to servo out the other two years of his service. Wo understand that his wife Is furious Ijccnuso we also learned that she Hied to perform In n beer hall con cert In Philadelphia, but we can't help It. They set out to slay and got stayed, and must make the best of It. Wo never at tack any one, but If stepped on wo always seek to make It hot for the stepplst. A Fkw Plain Wonns. Being on this subject, and uot wishing to refer to It again, wo wish to say a few words to our home readers. The question Is often asked: "Who Is tho leader of society In this town?" We deslroto settle thnt question right here and now. Wo are. There Isn't the slightest doubt thnt wo are the only inon in this town using perfumed soap, a toothbrush and having a white shirt which buttons behind. Wo nro tho only one, so far as wo can learn, who has reg ular summer socks, eats with a fork or knows to what use to put a table napkin. Wo don't brag of theso things. We were brought up that way, and It's perfectly natural. We aro getitlonud refined. No ono over saw us expectorate on the floor while dancing, and we don't want a brick layer's trowel to eat Ico cream with. Wo trust this will settle the question at once and forever. TiieOtiiehSidk.-Wo uuderstMid thnt Hank Curtis Is telling everybody In town thnt wo tried to murder him the other day because ho refused to renew his subscrip tion to The Kicker. Thero may bo a few people In town who don't know that Hank Is tho greatest liar In Arizona, and for their benefit wo will give our side of tho story. Wo met Hank on Apache avenue and told him that his subscription had expired. Ho claimed to bo so hard up that he could not renew. Wo advised him to take lew whisky and moru Kicker, nnd ho received It lu n laughing, good unturcd way. We havoahablt when talking with a man on tho street of putting our hand on his shoulders nnd pushing him backward. It simply arises from our earnestness, and 13 generally understood that way. Hank, however, pretended thnt ho thought wo were going to assault him nnd he reached for his gun. Before ho could get it wo lrid him covered, and he gavo us n dollar to re new his subscription and begged our par don for lelng so hasty. That's all thero was to it, and he is very silly to go around lying nbotit tho matter. Wk Shall Skk. Wo understand thnt tho court house ring, which has vainly tried to use tills paper as an organ, has de claret! that we shall never hold an otllce in this town. It may be proper for us, In view of this declaration, to dellne our pol tlon. We are fitted by nature and cdiict tlou to make the best mayor this town ever had or will have if wo don't get It. It properly belongs to us, because we have tho dignity and ml- J ucatlon to grace it. If wo were mayor and 1.110 K"VLriiur camu uuru nu wuiiiii ihi re nin! Its cats past have been a set of drunken and Ig norant galoots whom every decent mnu was ashamed of. It is time for a chnuge. It la time thnt a decent, honest limn like us was put at the head of inuulo- and wo say plainly that wo If the ring sees lit to oppose us the members thereof must abide tho consequences. As to tho city printing, that will of course como to The Kicker, and there will also be considerable Job work to be donoj that, however, Is of sec ondary Importance. What the people want Is a sober, honest, educated man one even lit to grnce the halls of congress or to hold down the chair of a governor. They have found such a man In us, and we shall be nominated and elected without doubt. New York World. No Fooling! The Goods Must Go! The Receiver Has Said So,. : t -J and his word is law.

A strong preparation for cleaning mar ble is fine pumice stone, newly slnked limo and verdigris, mixed thick with soft soap. Dip a woolen rag in this compound, and rub the stains ono way. Then wash off with soap and water. An other excellent preparation is mndo of two parts of common soda, one part of pumice stone nnd ono of finely powdered chalk, which should lie sifted through a fine sievo and mixed witli wnter. It is used in the same manner. Iron rust can be usually removed by rubbing with lemon juico. How to llemler Fabrics Incombustible. Many deaths would bo prevented it ladles engaged in household work would wear incombustible or noil-inflammable garments. Tho process of so treatiug linons and cottons is very simple. Steep tho goods in a 7 er cent, solution of sul phate of ammonia, or a SO per cent, solu tion of tuugstato of soda and then dry them. If they nro now held in tho ilamo of a candle or gas lamp they will not take fire. That portion of the fabric which was in contact with tho light will bo como charred, but it will not inflame, and hence tho burning stato will not spread to tho rest of the garment. Steep iug in borax nnd hot wnter will have a similar effect More Thau Ills Head Was In Ills Hat. It was gusty on the North river yester day morning, and most of the passengers who stood on the decks of the ferryboats held their fingers on the brims of their lints. One mnu on nn Erie railroad boat clutched a last season's white hat flimly with both hands. The tile was so evidently a relic of tho past that his extreme caution to prevent It being blown away aroused some ridicule, and as tho refrain of "Where did you get that hntf" grew more marked and personal the owner angrily withdrew his hands, ns though ho might need them presently for another purpose. Tho next momcut tho old hat was In the river. A burst of heartless laughter followed It as it floated away. "Never mmd, old man," cried a truck driver consolingly. "It was called In long ago."
