THE VALENTINE DEMOCRA1 1. 51 UiCE , I'ub inher. YALENTISE , KEBUASKA Half the world doesn't care llierr better halves live. The spirit of rivalry has given th ( world about everything it has anj right to feel proud of. A New York clergyman has dcfinet tipping as bribery pii'e | and simple , ant he is just about four-quarters right. But what would those twelve young men killed in playing football have been worth to the country had thej lived ? Another diamond mine has been dis covered in South Africa. Will some one please put an extra chain on the dogs of war ? The man who is known as "a prince of good fellows" is likely to be re ferred to as "a lobster" when his money is gone. Of course , a business man may be a Christian ; but there is little likelihood of his becoming a captain of industry by following this policy. When you go to collect a bill the man at the counter is less apt to in quire about the health of your family than when you go in to pay one. Fourteen deer hunters were killed during the past season as against ten football players. Who will care for football after this ? Every time an American goes abroad to sell goods now it is referred to as an invasion. What a lot of nervous persons there must be in the world. Emperor William might take kindly to Carnegie's suggestion to form a United States of Europe if he were to be the grand chief and overlord of the same. A Virginia woman who hunted forty- three years for her husband's grave has just found it. It is to be hoped that , being positive , she will now quit worrying. Uncle Sam is mounting a gun that with 1,000 pounds of powder will send a projectile weighing 2.370 pounds a distance of twenty-one miles. This is putting the strenuous life into metal with a vengeance. While Prof. Garner thinks he is inak- Ing progress in learning the language of monkeys , he complains that they do not speak grammatically. Perhaps he failed to be introduced into the cultur ed circles of monkeydom. The Berlin insane asylum claims a patient , whose hair changes color with her feelings. When she is cool and quiet her hair is a light yellow , but when she is restless and excited it be comes auburn. In other words when she gets red headed , she is so. A Virginia legislator who tacks "M. D. " to his name has introduced a bill to make kissing illegal unless the par ties to the osculation can show by a physician's certificate that they are free from all infectious germs. This doctor is evidently convinced that the chief end of a legislator is to make business for himself. Sweden has begun to emancipate it self from slavery to coal. The govern- nent has decided to operate by elec tricity the two thousand two hundred miles of railway which it owns. The electricity will be generated by water power , which is abundant in that mountainous country. Italy also has begun to utilize its waterfalls for pro ducing electricity , and is expecting an Industrial revolution in consequence of the supply of cheap power for manu facturing purposes. This country does not monopolize all the enterprise in the world. Marriage without love is almost a crime. In fact , it would be regarded as one if the world were as true , as simple , as sincere as it ought to be. But society has so long wandered in a maze of complexity , and marriage , from monarchs downward , is under taken for such a variety of reasons apart from love , that only a few re tain the correct Impression about it. And of these few the majority are women or girls who would rather die than marry a man they did not love. Sir Walter Scott knew this well when he wrote "The Bride of Lammermoor. " His noble , gentle , true and tender spirit , aware of what love is , could well compute the horror of a loveless marriage. From out the hearsay and conjecture which constitutes much of our knowl edge of the Filipino one incident speaks in words which all may under stand. An American missionary who had taken a little bicycle excursion into the interior , and had preached to large numbers of natives , was taken 111 in a village which had suffered especially from the exigencies of the war. For a week he was as tenderly nursed by the strangers as he could have been among his own people. One morning , as he came out early , intend ing , weak as he was , to make the long bicycle ride to Manila , he found await ing him twenty Filipinos , only a few > of whom had he ever seen before. One jof them took his bicycle to lead. The others showed him a litter they had jfoshioned. into which he was put. Four of the men took the poles of the lltte on their shoulders.and the rest trudge on behind as relays. Over the roug mountain paths , through the intens heat of the long day , these men bor their American brother the twenty-liv miles to the coast , and refused to tak even a penny in compensation. Surel even in our so-called heathen depot dencies the line flower of the human ! ties blooms on. Frugality and industry make a fin team , and we all of us experience a : approving thrill when we read of th great man who consecrated his yout ; to an unmixed diet of oatmeal porridg for the sake of a material econoin ; that should result later in wealth , ma terial and mental. Science approve also and is shocked by the extravagan self-indulgence of the poor , who coul < secure a competence so easily if the : would take to porridge , or , better still to raw turnips , like Colonel Sellers Playing with human beings as an ah straction represented by marks upoi his writing tablets , the professor o science feeds them , clothes them lodges them , pays the doctors' bills am the undertakers' bills with a growinj enthusiasm as he keeps reducing th < figures , except those of mortality , am presents his final calculations as a tri umph. It is thus with Prof. Clark , whc has reached the conclusion that tin "unskilled American workman" cai keep a family in comfort and save mon oy on § 300 a year. Moreover , at forty five he should have laid by an independ ent fortune , and meanwhile he will have rioted in those greatest of blessings , la bor and abstinence. As the professoi contemplates the Irrefutable demon stration and hearkens for the dinnei bell which shall summon him to roasl beef at twenty-five cents a pound , hf becomes sterner in his demand foi self-denial in those unskilled work men. "The man or woman , " he says 'who becomes dependent through neg ! ect or lack of foresight is morally as juilty as the thief who breaks in and steals. " And it is not improbable thai iie will come to regard $300 as a de moralizing superabundance and cut the Igures down one-half. But what kind ) f apartments could he furnish a man ivith wife and children under his econ- ) iuical scheme ? Just how would he icep them all warm in winter and pro- ride them with suitable surroundings n summer which should conduce to heir health and pleasure ? While sci- mce is speculating with its abstrac- ions , the facts and conditions of life n America are rudely giving it the lie. \.nd such wickedness demands stur- liest refutation. FHE VILLAIN IN THE NURSERY. 'Mother Goose" Is Brought to Task by a Critic. As a really cheerful lullaby , none > ther can equal lere comes a candle to light you to bed ! lore comes a chopper , to chop off your head ! i ml , when a child is thoroughly fright ened by this vivid picture , what can letter befit the occasion than a recital > f the inquisitorial story of ) ld daddy long-legs wouldn't say his prayers ! Take him by the right leg ! Take him by the left leg ! ! Take him by both legs ! ! ! .nd throw him down stairs ! > efore the child kneels down to its levotions ? As an epitome of religious lersecution , this cannot be surpassed. The example of "Nanty Panty" has , to doubt , been followed by scores of ihildren. The words have a merry ingle. One can almost see a young- ter jogging to the grocer's and filch- Qg the first thing on which he can lay iis baby hands ! Listen : Nanty Panty , Jack-Dandy Stole a piece of sugar candy From the grocer's shoppy shop , And away did hoppy hop ! n the following ridiculous , impossi- ile couplet : loney I want , money I crave , f you don't give me money , I'll sweep you to the grave ! ighway robbery is suggested striking- r and in a most impudent manner , likewise , there seems to be no satis- nctory reason for the "little man who ad a little gun" to shoot the duck lirough the "head , head , head , " unless e was on a poaching expedition. A tangent of incendiarism is seen i this advice given to the pretty lady- ird , that inadvertently lights on one's and : , ady-bSrd , lady-bird , fly away home , our house is on fire , your children alone , 'hey ' are all burnt but one !

TOM OCHILTREE , BON VIVANT ) The Celebrated Texan , of Picturesque .Fame , o r Iore. A picturesque figure has gone from American public life. Colonel Thomas P. Ochiltree warrior , statesman , jour- n a 1 i s t , diplomat , promoter , bon vi- vant and racon teur , known equal ly well in England , on the continent , in Now York , Texas and Washington- is dead. Ochiltree was a Texan by birth. His father was a TOM OCHILTREE. judge and a found er of the Texan republic , and the bo ; grew up in his law office. At 15 , how ever , he broke away from home an < served with the Texas Rangers agains the Comanches and Apaches. At 2 he was editing a Democratic paper an < attending a national convention as ! delegate. In the Civil War he was i messenger for Jefferson Davis am General Longstreet. After the war In became a Republican , and Genera Grant , when he became Provident made him a United States marshal ii Texas. After a time the President wa ; disturbed by hearing of Hie colonel a nearly every race track in the country and demanded an explanation. - "Oh , " said the marshal , "I'm no Tom Ochiltree. He's a race horse John Chamberlain named after m < \ " Ochiltree tired of the Federal job aiu became proprietor and editor of tin Houston Telegraph. As a uewspapei man he went to New York , where IK became acquainted with August Bel mont , who introduced him to manj men of prominence , lie went to Paris and formed the acquaintance of James Gordon Bennett. When Bennett oab'eil 2,000 words to the New York Herald on the opening of the Paris Exposition in 1807 , Colonel Ochiltree asked that the dispatch be duplicated to the Houston Telegraph. The Frenchmen were amazed at the man's evident higli financial standing. They never learned the truth that Ochiltree's paper sus pended three days after the receipt of the cable. The colonel's dispatch was too much for the paper's treasury. When he came home from Europe he ran for Congress in a Texas district covering 37,000 square miles. He made fifty-two speeches , covering the terri tory on horseback , mulcback and on foot. He was elected , though the dis trict was a Democratic stronghold. While at Washington a correspondent wagered with a friend that he could make any member of Congress known from one end of the country to the other within a year , and he picked out Ochiltree , red-headed , a good story teller and fond of notoriety , as the man. He began to send out stories of Ochiltree , many of which were true and others far from it , and Ochiltree became a personage to be quoted , in terviewed and sought after. Rich men became his intimates. He traveled in Europe and attracted the attention of capitalists to the advantages which Texas offered men of means. In re cent years he had spent his time around the fashionable hostelries of New York City. HAS A COMEDY JAIL. In Klizabethtown , N. J. , Prisoners Are Locked Out Instead of In. Elizabethtown , the county seat of Essex , in the Adirondacks , possesses a comedy jail , says the Philadelphia Ledger. It is small , having windows secured by wooden bars and the jail- yard inclosed by a solid fence of three- quarter-inch boards , which a healthy man could push over with his shoulder. But the prisoners rarely , if ever , at tempt to escape. Some good stories are told by Judge Kellogg , Judge Hand and other resi dents. It is a custom to allow the prisoners out on parole , so that they may cut the grass on neighboring lawns , do garden work or repair roads for the village and county. Recently sne prisoner who should have returned it 6 o'clock did not apply for admission until nearly an hour later. The war- len angrily demanded to know the rea son , and added : "Don't let this occur again , or I will not allow you to come in. I lock the loor at G o'clock , and won't open it in ; he future for you. " Another , accused of and awaiting : rial for manslaughter , overstayed his larole and pleaded as an excuse that , is it was Saturday , he thought he ivoulcl go and spend Sunday with his , vife , returning to the jail on Monday norning. A Hard. Student. "Do you think son will stand at the lead of his class ? " asked Mrs. Corn- ossel. "Well , " answered her husband , "I lid have my doubts.
