Eft ftucd for several hours. Though warn-

B. \ S } At 7 o'clock an immense tidal wave

broke out in the Bettina house. In a

WATSON AFTER BUTLER.
The PopulUt Vice Presidential Candidate
Warm Under the Collar.
ATLA TA. Ga. , Oct. 3. In this
week's issue of his People's" party
paper Thomas EL Watson , Populist
nominee for vice president , makes the
following editorial attack on Chair
man Marion Butler of the Populist
national committee : "Attempts have
been made to _ show that Mr. Watson
favored fusion in the utatoof Indiana.
This is not correct. Mr. Watson took
the position at the beginning of the
campaign that no Populisb could consistently - '
sistently vote for a single Sowall
elector any more than he could vpto
for a Hobart elector. He fiied with
Chairman Butler a written protest
against Mr. Butler's fusiod policy.
Mr. Butler has ignored Mr. Watson's
protest and gone steadily forward on
his own line.
"Mr. Watson's position is now what
it was when the Georgia state conven
tion met He is for a straight 'mid
dle-of-the-road' ticket. In no other
way can the Democratic managers be
forc d to abide by the St Louis con
tract Mr. Watson's position has been
humiliating and embarrassing , and he
has been compelled to submit to poll *
cies he did nnt approve. "
A DRUNKARD'S CRIME.
fatally Injarei a 17-Year-Old Girl anr
Kills HltmnirWith a Bazor.
Holgatk , Ohio , Oct 3. A terrible
double tragedy occurred last night two
miles south of this place in the home
of Mrs. J. P. Bicker , a widow. The
family consisted of the widow and
two children , her daughter , Annie , 17
years old , and a son. Another inmate
of the home for some time past has
been a boarder , Nathan E. Spellman.
The. latter came home in a beastly
state of intoxication and was repri
manded * by Mrs. Kicker. Spellman ,
while the son was at school and Mrs.
Kicker was out attending to the stock ,
went into the house , and found the
daughter ironing. What followed can
only be surmised. Anna Kicker was
attacked and her skull crushed. Spell
man then undertook to destroy his
own life by hanging. This attempt
being a failure , he resorted to a
method more successful Lying on his
back across a bed , his head hanging
so it almost touched the floor , he drew
a razor across his throat , severing the
jugular vein.
Anna Kickerrat last accounts , was
alive , but unconscious , and there is no
possible hope of her recovery. Spell *
man is dead.

cotton clothes-lme cord tied to his
wrist for safety.

' going BOW to

Said little Saxnmie
Green , one day ,
"Then I can do
f'M just what I
choose.
I'll never have to
black my shoes ,
Or wash my face ,
or comb my
hair ,
f 11 find a place , I know , somewhere ;
And never have again to fill
That old chip basket o I will.
"Gcod-by , mamma , " he said "good
by ! "
He thought his mother then would cry.
She only said , "You going , dear ? "
And didn't shed a single tear.
"There , now , " said Sammie Green , "I
know
She does not care if I do go.
But Bridget does. She'll have to fill
That old chip basket so she will.
But Bridget only said , "Well , hey ,
You off for sure ? I wish you joy. "
And Sammle's little sister Kate ,
Who swung upon the garden gate ,
Said , anxiously , as he passed thro' ,
"To-night , whatever will you do
When you can't get no 'lasses spread
At supper time on top of bread ? "
One block from home and Sammie
Green's
Weak little heart was full of fear.
He thought about "Red Riding Hood" ;
The wolf that met her in the wood ;
The bean-stalk boy , who kept so mum
When he heard the giaat's "Fee , fo ,
fum ! "
Of the dark night and the policeman ,
Then pcor Sammie homeward ran.
Quick thro' the alley-way he sped ,
And crawled in thro' the old wood
shed ,
The big chip basket he did fill ;
He blacked his shoes up with a will ;
He washed his face and combed his
hair ;
He went up to hie mother's chair ,
And kissed her twice , and then he said ,
"I'd like some 'lasses top of bread ! "
Knew the' Princess.
Boys who live in the streets and by
their wits naturally acquire quickness
of vision are pretty hard to fool. A
London newspaper tells us that one of
the princesses of England found this
out for herself recently.
The Princess Maud went shopping
strictly incog. While she was walking
along the street , she was accosted by
a little street arab who was the happy
possessor of a pair of large , pathetic ,
brown eyes and a tangled crop of curly
brown hair. He was engaged in the
absorbing task of earning his living
{ and , perhaps , some one else's as well )
by retailing "fresh spring flowers ,
penny and tuppence a bunch. "
The princess stopped , and while
choosing some flowers was a little
startled by the lad's saying in an ex
cited and familiar whisper :
"It's all right , miss , I knows yer ;
but I'll keep it dark and won't split on
yer. "
The princess smilingly shook her
head in denial.
"Yes , I do knows yer" ( more em
phatically ) ; "ye's Princess Maud ; I
twigged yer directly. "
None to Waste.
The author of "Campaigning in
South Africa and Egypt" gives a per
tinent illustration of the virtue there is
in necessity. He had been asked by a
friendly Boer in Africa to go out shoot-
nig. Accordingly , he writes , I took a
rifle and a bag of cartridges and set
out for the appointed spot. When I
met my friend , he said :
"What have you got in that bag ?
your dinner ? "
"No , " I answered , "cartridges , "
whereupon he roared with laughter.
"You Englishmen must be very rich , "
said he. "They cost sixpence apiece
here. "
"Where are yours ? " I asked.
"In this , " he answered , tapping his
double-barrelled .rifle.
"You don't intend to shoot much ? "
"Two spring bucks are all I can
carry. "
"Suppose you miss ! "
"Nobody misses when a cartridge
costs sixpence. "
There was something instructive in
the remark. It perhaps proved why
the Boers had , in 1881 , beaten the Eng
lish. For the Boer , unwilling to waste
his ammunition , will aim and take
down his rifle a dozen times , until he is
satisfied that he is going to get some
thing for his cartridge.
On the occasion in question my friend
got his two bucks , while I fired five
cartridges and got one.
A Use for a Queen.
Recently Queen Victoria received a
petition'from a little girl which was
quite irresistible in its way. The let
ters addressed by unknown persons to
the queen do not usually meet her eye ,
as their number is great and their
character often indicative of unbound
minds ; but the epistle from this child
the queen's secretary deemed worthy to
be brought to her attention.
It began thus : "Dear Queen. I let
my doll fall into a hole in the moun
tain ; and as I know that the other side ,
of the world belongs to you , I wi3h you
would send some one there to find my
doll. "
The little girl believed the hole went
clear through the earth , and that the
queen could easily have the doll hunted
up on the other side.
The queen was much amused at thle
petition ; and though she was unable to
grant it , she could send a new doll to
the little girl , and this she proceeded
to do.
Mistaken for Once.
The Washington Post has a para
graph about a pretty girl and a woman
who knows everything , the scene of the
story being the deck of a Potomac
steamer.
The girl was slender and graceful.
*
Her eyc3 were dark and sleepily bril
liant. She was languid , and she wore
a ruffled pink muslin gown. The wom
an who is never mistaken marked her.
"That's a typical southern girl , " she
said to me. "You'd never see a north
ern girl wear a gown like that. Didn't
you notice her high-arched foot , too ,
and her languor ? The northern girl is
always so abrupt and brisk , and "
Just then the typical southern girl
lifted her hands in surprise at some
thing a companion was saying.
"Land sakes ! " she said , "I want tc
know. "
And the woman who knows every
thing gazed at the landscape.
Too Bad.
A prominent Washington physician ,
who owns a cranberry meadow on Cape
Cod , was entertaining an English cou
sin some years ago , says the Post of
that city.
One night at dinner cranberry-sauce
was on the table. The Englishman was
delighted with it Indeed , he expressed
his pleasure so much and so often that
after he had returned to London the
doctor sent him over a barrel of fine
Cape Cod cranberries. A month or so
passed , and then came a letter from the
Englishman.
"My Dear So-and-So , " it said , "it
was awfully good of you to send me
those berries , and I thank you. Unfor
tunately , they all soured on the way
over. "
Dissatisfied ,
Peace and comfort are relative terms.
There is an old , old Irish story of three
hermits in the wilderness , who , sick of
the clamor of the world , had sough/ /
that safe retreat
At the end of a year of silence , one
remarked , "It's a fine life we're having
here ! "
Not a another word was uttered un
til the end of another year , when the
second hermit replied :
"It is ! "
Time went on , and when the third
year had elapsed , the last hermit ,
showing signs of impatience at the
chatter of his companions , broke in , "II
L-can't get peace here , I'll go back to
*
the world ! "
A Mother's Advice to Her Son.
" *
. , Guard within yourself that treasv
kindness. Know how to give with
out hesitation , how to lose without re
gret , how to acquire without meanness.
Know how to replace in your heart , by
the happiness of those you love , the
happiness that may be wanting in your
self. Keep the hope of another life. Ii
is there that mothes meet their sons
again. Love all God's creatures. For
give 'these who are ill-conditioned , re
sist those who are unjust , and devote
yourself to those who are grea/
through their virtue. George Sand.
Queer Prank. .
An English journal reports a comi
cal experience of a musician in a quiej
Kentish village.
He happened to be in the place over
Sunday , and went to the little parish
church , where , after service he was
introduced to the organist and invited
to try the organ.
As he began to play , the people gath
ered about to look and listen. By and
by , in the course of his improvisation ,
he introduced a piece of rather rapid
pedal-playing , upon which a rustic
youth blurted out :
"Blow me if he aint playing and
dancing to it himself ! "
Valuable Itoots.
A fresh example of legal acumen
comes from a French police Court.
"You s3y you have been robbed of a
pair of boots , " said the magistrate.
"How much were they worth ? "
"Well , " said the complainant , "they
cost me originally twelve francs. But
I have had them resoled four times at
ari expense of three francs each time ;
so that makes altogether twenty-foui
"francs. "
"Clerk , " said the judge , "write : 'One
pair of boots worth twenty-four
francs. ' "
Just AVhat She SaM.
It is not always wise to dispute people
ple , even when their assertions seem
absolutely mistaken. The Pittsburg
Christian Advocate gives this story of
a census-taker's error :
Mrs. Pilgrim Now , these hoys are
sisters.
The Census-Taker No , you meaij
brothers.
Mrs. Pilgrim No , sir ; I mean just
what I say ; they are my sister's. Shf
lives next door in the red house.

The Buffalo News reports the sharp
saying of a woman who may not be an
art critic , but who has some gift c " " ex
pression. •
"Your husband painted the house
himself this spring , didn't he ? " asketf
one of her neighbors.
"Well , yes , " was the wife's answer ;
"I suppose he got some of the paint on
the house , but you wouldn't think so
if you could see his clothes. "

Reflections of a Bachelor.
From New York Press.
After a girl gets married she isn't
near so careful about eating onions.
Even if marriage is likely to be a
failure , a wedding is always a success.
Women would scream when they saw
a mouse even if they wore trousers.
The woman who says , "Oh , never
mind me ; I'm married , " wouldn't be
fazed anyhow.
Some men refrain from telling wom
en they are married for iear of hurting
their feelings.
Some women can never be happy be
cause their husbands are forever track
ing dirt over their floor.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills , which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge , that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease , but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Figs , prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
redy with millions of families , and is
-ywhere esteemed so highly by all
• vht , value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact , that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important , in order to get its bene
ficial effects , to note when you pur
chase , that you have the genuine arti
cle , which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
and the system is regular , laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease , one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians , but if in need of a laxative ,
one should'have the best , and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The October number of Harper's Mag

New beets , especially white ones , are
quite delicious , if parboiled about an
hour , peeled , and then simmered into a
cupful of stock until tender. Thicken
the stock slightly by adding to it a teaspoonful -
spoonful of butter , rubbed with a teaspoonful -
spoonful of flour. If the beets are
large , slice them in rather thin slices.
Season with salt and pepper to suit the
taste. New York Evening Post
