. IKnoivlllf, Tepn., Trlbuno.JV ,
The lesson of the hard times,
so-called; the seareity of money;
the almost impossible chance to
secure credit or a loan for the
workiDgraan and clerk; the man
of small means, has certainly had
a Balutary effect. Experience is a
dear teacfier. But from all this
poverty and. inconvenience some
good must come. It has taught
that because money is plentiful
this year it may not be next, and
accordingly suggests that the old
roverb of the rainy day should
not go unobserved. It has told
the clerk that positions are not as
plentiful or as permanent one
year as another, and that hard
times cheapens wages and reduces
salaries. It has taught the great
er leftton tbat there is no friend
on earth like money, and that if
you havelibld of some to hold on
is the proper caper. It has sug
gested to the frugal housewife that
while she thought she had always
been careful and watchful of the
groocr'a ands butcher's bills, that
she has about cut them in two
during the depression, and so far
as she is concerned all have had
enough to eat. Iler dresses and
her children's clothing were apt
to last longer and by a little fix
ing whieJi 'she would not have
thought of during good times,
made them all look, as well as
. . - ViJ -
new during hard times, one will
remcmljcr these things when times
are good if she is prudent, and a
little tank account will be the re
sult. It has taught men that a
false shirt bosom with a porous
plaster on the back is as good as
a regulation shirt. It has shown
him that to reverse his cuffs is
proper because then the laundry
man earns his money. It has
taught Itim that homespun tobac
co is more healthy 'Jian the manu
factured article, and that too much
whiskey is not good for the stom
ach. It has suggested to many
people that dope is a better ar
tide of diet than butter and that
corn pone bents flour which has
had the life cooked out of it at the
mill. Sow bosom is better than
fresh beef, and if you get a real
fut article it will last longer, and
then if it was a razor backed hog
you can use the hide to grease
your hair and shoes, thus saving
theexpenso of hoo polit-h and
cosmetics. It has shown us tht-t
cof.ee more than once a day has a
bad effect on the nervous system,

I talked witli a man the, other
day who was sixty-one years of
age, and he wildly insisted that
he was not old. He was nearly
twice . as old as myself,' and I
thought sixty was getting pretty
well along on the turnpike.-When
we were about eighteen, just as
we were starting out, as I . might
say, in the world, how.' old sixty
seemed then. But I find as I go
along and foul the weight of thirty-five
summers and see their
empty-handed returns, for the
most part, that age after all is but
a mere matter of thought. Real
ly I feel no older now Hbau I felt
at twenty. A few gray hairs
brought about by some unnatural
cause, no doubt remind me when
I cast a glance in the mirror that
am getting along, but in feeling
I am no older. But pretty soon
I will be. We all will be. Only
ten or fifteen years and time flies
when we pass the thirtieth, mile
stoneand a cane will perliaps
be essential to me, and I know
that glasses will be needed for my
sight, and I expect that work will
tell upon me. Then how hard
one should work when he finally
realizes and ' admits that he is
growing old, to gather a competen
cy; to lay up a few shiniug dollars
here on earth for thoseMavs of rheu-
, y
malism; thase days of uaelessoess in
the field of toil; so that so matter
.t
bow much out of sorts one
may find oneself, he can say I aja
paying the bills; I am' the charge
of no one bat my nurse and he
is compensated. Young men
should be careful of that near fu
ture. - The great future is also to
be looked after, but that requires
but moral courage and then that
path is smooth. . But the gather
ing and garnering of dollars, the
one ' thing needful in old age,
should be commenced now. Put
away a few each year. Put&em
in property. Put them at work
on interest if nothing else; but see
to it from the day you are thirty
five you are paying a debt to your
older self, and lay up a treasure
on earth as well as in heaven.
Money is your best friend. You
do not want too much of it, but
enough money to tide you over
those days which come to all when
we ire tottering between the two
eternities will cause us much
pleasure, and when we lay down
for the last time, we can indeed
pull the drapery of our couch
about us and enjoy pleasant
dreams. How hua iliating to the
man who has had plenty to find
himself ill and in a hospital a
county charge. 'How much more
humiliating to die and be dumped
into a potter's field no one after
you had been so much.

x New Youk, Nov. 5. The Re
publicans carried New York state
by 80,000 plurality; New Jersey
by over 15,000; Maryland by 10,
000, and claim to have captured
Kentucky. ; Besides swinging
these states over into the Republi
can column, they increased their
usual majorities in Massachusetts,
Ohio, Iowa, and all the Northern
states where elections were held.
t was a democratic Waterloo.
Tammany elected her local tick
et by abdut 30,000 and New York
went democratic for Secretary
of State by 41,000, but the Repub-
icans came down to the Bronx
with over 100,000 votes to spare.
n the tenth congressional district
Amos J. Cummings, democrat,
was elected, but his success was
lainly due to his personal popu-
anty. .
Of the 50 Senators in this state
the democrats elected only 16, and
of the 150 Assemblymen only 46.
The Senate elected to-day will
have a part in the selection of a
successor to David B. Hill, and it
is plain that he will not be a dem
ocrat, The republican gains were
general all over the state. In this
city and Brooklyn republican
Senators and Assembleymen were
elected where democrats have
been returned year after year. In
Brooklyn 'a democratic mayor
pulled through by a narrow, ph
rality.
GORMAN S WATERLOO.
Baltimore, - Mn., Nov. 5. Sen
ator Gorman has met his Water
loo. At midnight the indications
point to a complete republican
victory in Maryland. Lowndes
is undoubtedly elected Governor
and the balance of the republican
state ticket has an apparent ma
jority of over lO.UUtf.
The legislature will be republi
can on joint ballot, thereby insur
ing a republican successor to
United States senator uibson. in
Baltimore city the returns indicate
a complete overthrow for the Gor-
man-Kasm ring. Hooper, repub
lican, for mayor, has arT apparent
maioritv more than 3,000. The
republicans have also a majority
of the city council and clsrk of
the court. .
KENTUCKY KEPVLLICAK.
Louisxille, Ky., Nov. 6 The
republicans were no less surprised
tonight than the democrats
by the result of yesterday's elec
tion in Kentucky. When the de
tailed returns began to come in
to-day Chairman Xormm, of the
democratic state committee, con
ceded the election of W. O. Brad-
lev as Governor, and the entire
republican state ticket by a plu
rality rancinz from 5.000 to 12,
000. Hardin also gave up the
contest
Returns ou the election of mem-
are not complete, but indicate
democrats 49, populist 14, a tie
in the house, provided republicans
elect n-p representatives in unre
ported counties. iX'mocrais win
have a small majority in the Sen
ate.
