But tlie change should be real a n d genuine, not prefunctory or prompted by zpal in behalf of any party necause ft hap pens to be in power." Confronting Mr. McKinley's words with Mr. McKinley's actions, it is impossible to es- cape the conclusion that he has violated his party pledge and broken his promise to the people. Does his behavior in this Civil Service matter present him in the at titude of an hon est and sincere executive, or in the guine of a time-serving trimmer, who has surrender- ed his convictions and falsi- fled his words at the com mand o conscienceless ma chine politicians?

One gallon, it is al- leged, will equal a ton ot ice. . ... . a . . . int to work in an engine with a proper motor, the air is to be utilized for cooking and heating purposes. A test it is stated, will be made in a Boston theatre.' The dinerence net ween en- thusiasm and cold cash isbe- ing exemplified by the slow irrowth ot the fund lor tne purchase of a Washington house for Admiral Dewey, re marks a correspondent. Sub scriptions come in slower and Ulower, and the total is still less than $7,000. The idea never did seem entirely sane. What does a widower admi ral, who is getting $15,000 a year salary need with a home given him by the charity of hysterical hero worshippers t is thought that Dewey will refuse the home if the amount is raised. News and Observ er. Asheville Citizen: Therehas been some talk in railroad cir eles and out. of a new thro' train service to be establish ed between Cincinnatti and Charleston by way of Ashe ville. Rumor has it that this is to make connection with a line of steamers to Havana And the new train will he so equipped with thenewestand most improved cars as to make it one of the finest trains ever operated over the Southern.

I have used many remedies without receiving much re lief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me. I tried it. and with, the most gratifying results. The tirst bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle lias absolutely cured me. I have not had as go-d health for twenty A ears.

"HeVouton the back porch." was the re- ply. "What's he doing out there?" querried the mother. "His bicycle is all out of breath, and he's putting some more in," answered the small observer. One day Tommy accompa nied his mother on a shop ping expedition and, seeing a large candy man standing in a confectioner's window, he paused in front of it with a wistful look, then turning away regretfull, he said: "Ma ma, 1 could lick that fellow with both hands tied behand me." Lula, aged 4, was taking her first ride on the steam cars and as they whizzed by farms she saw. some largejpumpkins among the corn shock and remem bering her five brothers and sisters at home, shesaid: "Oh mammy, look what big oran gesl Let's stop and buy one and it'll go all around." Little three-year-old Mabel ad been told that when it was daylight on this side of the earth it was dark on the other side. As a proof of this astronomical fact, arising the next morning she ex claimed: "Now, they is just goin' to bed in China, and the keeter is beginnin' t o bite 'em." A bright little fellow of 6 made quite an apt reply to a cross-grained old man who had outgrown his loye f o r children. "Get out of my way," was the surly cp m -mand. "What are such chaps as you good for?" The boy looked up into his face with a pleasant smile and said: "Sir, they make gentlemen out of such chaps as I am." The boy came off with flying colors. It's a great pity, how ever, that old men are too of ten made out of the good stuff in children. Ex. ' NOTICE. Under and by vitrueo'fa mortgage deed executed to me on the Uth of Fe'b. '97, by L. L.
