But the noted in fidel kicks. lie says that be has been misquoted. In fact, he maintains that tho Republican triumph in Kentucky proves that there is no hell. The eol onel lays all the blame to tho administra tion. Ho says that Cleveland is obsti natc and egotistic and that the Democrats are dissatisfied with him. It will disappoint thiusands of people to find Ingersoll so hard headed, lie had an opportunity to yield gracefully, but he has allowed it to slip.

Croup is a terror to y uug mother'. To post thtm concerning the Ural symp toms, and treatment is the object of this item. The first indication of croup is hoarseness. In a child who is subject to croup it may be taken as a sure sign of the spproaching of an attack. Follow ing this hoarseness is a peculiar, rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even after the rough cough has appeared it will prevent the attack.

There is hardly a eastle or aocient manor house in all England that has not some ghostly tradition eonneclod with it. Io some mansions the spectres aro said to alk and gibber aud shriek night after ight, while in others they appear only long iutcrvals. The latter seems to Lo the case at Clandon House, near Ouildford, which belongs to the Karl of Onslow, but which at present let by him to a tenant. Here the ghouls, for there are three of them, have but recently made their ppcarance, and, though they seem quite familiar with tho centuries old structure which they inhabit, no one of this gener ation has been able to recall anything about them. The first is that of a beautiful lady, richly attired io a cieam-colored silk ibe and weariog a profusion of great wels. Sometimes she covers the cream colored silk with a black cloak, and occasionally sho carries a dagger or a tumbler in her hand. All the domsstios say they bivj seen her many limes, and the un I r footman stoutly niaiutaios that he ooce si i "the lady in cream" take a book from the library shelves, and after glancing through its pages, carefully re- ace it. The second specter is moro terrifying for it appears in the form of a very ugly female black dwarf, with a glittoring ring in her nose, and whoso dress indi cates a condition of servitude. She I ways boars in her hand a lighted lan tern. A rough lookiog man makes up this phantom trio, and he has a great beard that is ovideotly tho prido and joy of his ghostly existooce. He is not so often seen as the lady in cream and her hid eous oompanion, and has the bearing of one oppressed by a great sorrow.

New poker stories are about as hard to God as four leaf clovers, says the New York Tribune. A guest at the Waldorf had a new one to tell recently, however, and while it may not have the stamp of truth upon it, it is a good one of its kind. Tho gentleman in questioo de dares that ho was in Jacksonville recent ly, and that while walking around tho ' city be was accosted by a native as fol lows: "Say, mister, give me will you?" Ho was rather startled st Ihe magni tude of the "strike," and at onco became curious. Ho asked the tellow in an iron ical way what security he could give fur such a loan. The native replied bland- "None." "What do you want with tho money?' the other was prompted to ask. The fel low shifted uocaaily from one foot to the other, and said: "Do you see that fellow over there?'' pointing in the direction of another citizen of the town. The other replied that his vision was good and that he did. Then the native said: "Well, his old man and my old man got in a poker game about twenty-five years go." "That is going into ancient history, is it not?" replied the visitor sarcastically. The native replied: "Yop. But you see dcy both got hands what couldn't be beat," "That's surprising," was the chilly re joinder. Undaunted the other the other went oo: "And dey bet all de money dey bad, and " That must have been a whole' lot," was the ironical interruption. "Never mid dat," said the native. "When dey went broke dcy was both sure dat dey could wio, and dcy locked de hands up in a safe after scalin' each of 'em up in an envelope." "Yes," was the interested reply. "And den dcy both started out to get money to bet some more. Dey bet an' bet an' bet " "Must hjvj been stayers," said lbs traveler. Dey was, but me old man died Here the fellow wiepingly wiped a tear out of his oye. The other locked inter ested, and said: "Well?" "Den I took up de old man's battle. After a while his old man died." "But tho old game went on?" said the other musingly. "Dats it, exactly. He took bis old man s place. Wo have kept it up pretty stiddy. Y'csterday he made f 2 handling baggage, and bo done saw my last raise of a dollar and raised me a dollar. I want to see him and raise him a dollar. Dat's wot I want of the money."
