The Letter He Did Not Mail.
As he left the house in the mornins.
Said his w ife: "Here's a letter to mail;
Anil see that you don t forget it!
So he told her, of course, he'd not fail.
As he placed it into his pocket
The address on the letter he saw,
And the name of it w as somewhat fa
miliar It was that of his mother-in-law.
And then a grim fact he remembered.
That his wife had threatened to send
And invite her to make a long visit
Vhat else could this letter portend?
A look of profound resolution
Did over his features prevail;
For a week it reposed in his pocket
The letter he did not mail.
Then one evening, when home returning,
He met his dear w ife at the door,
Who asked if he'd mailed that letter
She gave him the week before.
He told her, of course, he had mailed it;
'Then it's very peculiar,1' said she,
'"For Fd written before to mother
To ask her to visit me.
"And that letter was to inform her
I'd rather she'd wait till next fall;
Hut here she arrived this morning
She never received it at all!'1
Until he was alone he waited.
Then kicked himself like a Hail,
And tore it into uttermost atoms
The letter he did not-mail.
Another Murder Mystery.
A murder case at Pittsfield, Mass.,
is attracting the attention of the
whole country. Last August Miss
May Fosburx, a daughter of a promi
nent citizen of Pittsfield, was shot
and killed in her father's house about
1 o'clock in the morning. Her father
was badly hurt and bruised and one
of his ribs was broken. Mrs. Fos-
burg, the girl's mother, aud her
brother, Robert S. Fosburg, were
also hurt. After the shooting took
place an alarm was given. The
neighbors gathered and found the
body of the dead girl in her room up
stairs. The elder I osburg told the
story of the shooting. He said that
burglars had broken into his house
at night. He heard them and, going
into the hall, encountered one of
them, with whom he struggled. The
noise aroused the family, and as his
daughter came toward the hall from
her room a second burglar came out
of an unoccupied room into the hall
tired a pistol, the bullet penetrating
the heart of Miss Fosburg and caus
ing her death. In the struggle with
the burglar Mr. Fosburg was badly
hurt. His sou, who came to bis aid,
was hit by a saudbag, and Mrs. Fos
burg also received blows. This story
was corroborated by every member
of the family, including a younger
daughter, w ho stated that as she ran
toward the hall she turned on the
electric light just in time to see the
burglar shoot her sister.
This account of the tragedy was
accepted, and the matter seems to
have been dropped after every effort
to discover the burglars had failed.
The other day the community was
startled by the indictment and arrest
of Robert S. Fosburg, Jr., on the
charge of having killed his sister.
The charge is manslaughter, and not
murder, and it is said that under
this charge the State is not required
to divulge the names of the witnesses
upon whose testimony the defendant
was indicted until the trial. Up to
the present time young Fosburg
seems to be in complete ignorance of
the nature of the testimony and of
the character of the witnesses who
testified agaiust him and caused his
indictment. All that has been made
public is the theory of the policemen
and detectives who "worked up" the
case, ineir tlieorv is u:ai young
Fosburg and his father at this hour
of the night were engaged in a des
perate fight and that the young man
tired at his father, and the girl, com
ing between them, received the bul
let. The dispatches from Pittsfield
say that the people of the town are
utterly incredulous as to the young
man's guilt and that iu the present
and past relations of father and son
there is nothing to justify the sus
picion. Those relations are said to
have always been of the most affec
tionate character.
It is not to be supposed that the
grand jury would indict a man of
the character and standing of young
Fosburg without some strong testi
mony. Hut if they have any there is
no intimation as to what it is, but
great stress is laid upon certain dis
crepancies in the statements of mem
bers of the family. In the meantime
the Fosburgs are making every ef
fort to discover the real criminal,
and the elder Fosburg says that he
will spend his fortune if necessary to
establish his son's innocence. A
friend has come from the West, a
prominent lawyer, to aid in the de
fense, and he will insist upon a spe
cial term of court, offering himself to
pay the cost of the session, so that
the young man's innocence can be
speedily proved. If he is innocent,
if the testimony against him is tri
vial, a great injustice has been done
to the accused and every member of
the family. The mere fact that the
man has ' been accused, indicted and
put on trial for killing his sister will
be a blight upon him all his life, even
if acquittal is most complete.
The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu
monia. H reasonable care is used, how
ever, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided. It
will cure a cold or an attack of la grippe
in less time than any other treatment.

THE 20TH CENTURY VOTER.
Sam Jones Would Like To See Him
Above Party aud Polities.
There is co more important sub
ject among the twentieth century
fads and facts than this character,
the twentieth century voter. There
is not an official in power to-day in
the United States who was not voted
into office, or else placed in office by
one who was voted into office. All
power of government at last resides
in the voter.
As we come over into the twen
tieth century we must seethe fact
that the time has come when we
must cease to kick and "cuss" office
holders and go to kicking and "cuss
ing" the crowd that voted them into
office. There have been in the last
quarter of a century many laws
passed touching the franchise ques
tion in the various states. The qual
ification for suffrage is a very differ
ent thing to-day to what it was
twenty-five years ago even. The in
telligence in this country is a unit
to day on the proposition that the
man who has no cash or credit or
character has no more business at
the .'polls voting than a mule or a
dog. Yankee Doodle is sitting qui
etly and -silently looking on at the
southern states eliminating vice and
ignorance from the ballot box. If this
government is to live and our free
institutions be perpetuated,the qual
ification for suffrage must be brought
up to a standard where intelligence,
virtue, and character must deter
mine a man's right to vote.
As yet we have no house of lords,
of peers, of dukes, nor ducks. When
men talk blood in this country the
average fellow understands him to
be referring to Kentucky bred horses
or short-horned cattle, and a gov
ernment "of the people and by the
people and for the people" may be a
government for everybody, but not
by everything that wears breeches
and hair.
The twentieth century voter should
be an unpurchasable voter. A man
who will sell a vote will sell a prin
ciple, for a vote represents a princi
ple, and a man that will sell a prin
ciple will sell anything that honor
holds dear. A man who will buy a
vote will sell a vote, and is as dirty a
dog as the fellow whose vote he
bought. A man who will buy a vote
to get into office will sell his vote to
the liquor dealers' association or to
corporations after he gets in. A
man should be forever outlawed, not
only from office, but from the privi
lege of voting, who has either bought
or sold a vote.
The twentieth century voter should
be an intelligent voter. The aver
age Democrat and Republican in this
country doesn't know any more
about the principles of the grand old
party he runs with than a rabbit
dog knows what his master's gun is
loaded with. The blind following of
party, this ignorance that whoops
up the candidate of his party, is as
contemptible as it is despicable.
The twentieth century voter should
be a courageous voter, not only un
purchasable, but unbulldozeable.
The white primaries inaugurated by
the southern states has largely elim
inated the brother in black, with his
crowd. That theory intends to mus
ter and organize the intelligence and
virtue, whose purpose is to nominate
candidates for office. This theory
has worked well in many places; in
others, strange to say, white prima
ries have nominated some mighty
lousy, dirty devils, to say nothing of
the last legislature assembled in
Georgia. They were all nominated
by white primaries. I have some
times thought I would love to see
the negroes get a whack next time,
with the white voters eliminated, to
see if they could not nominate from
the white people of the state a crowd
that would beat the last legislature
assembled in Georgia. I sometimes
think the reason they did not pass
the depot bill was that the depot
was the other side of the saloon, and
they could not pass the saloon. They
say the white primary has come to
stay. If so, intelligence and virtue
must control the white primary and
nominate in those primaries candi
dates approved by the best people
of the state, otherwise there will be
a revulsion from white primaries
that will soon put an end to them.
The twentieth century voter should
bean independent voter. There has
not been a national election in the
last twenty-five years that the'ean
didates were not carried to victory
by the independent voter. A party
does not own a man, soul and body,
any more than a church does. I an
a Methodist to the manner born,
but whenever the Methodist church
takes off after strange gods and for
sakes the principles of the New Tes
tament Scriptures I am not going
with them any more than Cleveland
and Whitney and Carlisle went with
Bryan and his gang. The principles
of the grand old Democratic party
are as well defined and as distinct as
the tenets and creed of Christen
dom to-day. An independent voter
is one who stays by principle and
j does not follow his party just to be
! with the gang. The Democratic par
j ty for the last 10 years has followed
I the fife and kettle drum and music
and oratory, and forsaken the prin
ciples taught by Thomas Jefferson
and the principles that made Old
Hickory Jackson one of the best pres
presidents America ever had makes
old Cleveland not only the greatest
statesman in America to-day but
the most hated man by the gang
that's been following the orators.
To be a good Democratic leader now
a fellow must be a full-fledged cy
clone, funnel-shaped and full of
wind. An independent voter is not
controlled by noise and hurrah and
fads and fancies, but he anchors him
self in the great principles of his
partyism, and, like the mariner at
sea, he looks at the sun by day and
the north star by night and guides
his ship by them, with but little no
tice of howling winds and beating
waves and foaming whitecaps.
The twentieth century voter should
be a voter who loves his country
more than he loves his party; who
votes with an eye single to the glory
of his country and the good of his
home. If patriotism was the incen
tive, and the good of Sally and the
children at home the inspiration,
then the voter can be trusted. I
have seen the day in America when
the Democrats were in power, and
the Republican party prayed and
worked for material disaster, finan
cial wreck, and general shrinkage of
values, that they might be furnished
with campaign thunder to put them
selves in power at the next election.
The intelligence of this country have
looked on. When Republicans have
been in power the Democrats looked
with longing, listful eyes, an listened
with bent ears that the- might see
or hear of some act or doings of the
Republican party that would furnish
to them in the coming campaign a
slogan that would drive the Repub
licans out of power and put them in
again. There is no more patriotism
in sentiment and conduct like that
than you will find among a pack of
wolves in the mountains of Colorado.
Patriotism is love of country; party
ism is love of office and power.
Whenever the twentieth century
voter comes to the front with intelli
gence, patriotism, virtue, courage,
and the independent spirit of man
hood, and vote and take interest in
who is nominated and work for good
government and good officials, like
the average fellow stays by his store
or shop or farm, then we will rele
gate to the rear the little pot politi
cians, and bring to the front men
who will run this country so that
the highest destiny may be reached.
With a conscience void of offence to
wards God and man, and sense en
ough to know right from wrong, by
the grace of God I iil vote for
whomsoever I gentlemanly please so
long as I live. These are my senti
ments, and I would to God they
were the sentiments of every decent
man in America.

His Half Dollar Came Back.
Twenty-five years ago, while work
ing in the blacksmith shop of J. W.
Shetter, at Stroughton, Wis., Harvey
Hawmau, ex chief of police of Sioux
City, la., stamped the letters, "J. W.
S.," his employer's initials, on a half
dollar. Last Monday that same coin,
without any doubt, was handed to
him over t lie counter of his fish mar
ket in Sioux City. In that period of
time it had jingled in the pockets of
perhaps thousands of persons and
traveled miles and miles across the
country and back, only to land fin
ally in the hands of the man who had
marked it with letters of an unmis
takable character. Never was a man
more completely surprised than was
Mr. Hawman. Inspite of the fact
that he had not thought of it in the
quarter of a century since he last
saw it, he recognized it at once. He
proposes to keep it now.
Kept His Own Coffin Twenty Years.
Twenty years ago Michael Walsh,
a bachelor, of Piermont, N. Y., pur
chased his coffin aud tombstone aud
ever since had them in his apart
ments, where he lived alone. Tuesday
night he died, at the age of 73 years,
and he will be buried in the coffin
which he selected a score of years
ago and have the tombstone placed
at his grave.
Consumptives To Be Registered.
The idea seems to be gaining
ground that consumptives should be
known as such. The Philadelphia
Board of Health at a recent meeting
discussed compulsory registration of
consumptives, and inclined to its fa
vor in the belief that it will tend to
check the disease.
The claim f other cough medicines to
be as good as Chamberlain's are effectu
ally set at rest iu the following testi
monial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an employe
of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.
He says: "I had kept adding to a cold
and cough iu the winter of l!y. trying
every cough medicine I heard of w ith
out permanent help, until one day I w as
in the drug store of Air. lloulehmi anil
he advised me to try Chamberlain's
Cough Uemed v and offered to pay back
mv money if 1 was not cured. My lungs
and bronchial tubes were very sore at
this time, but I was completely cured by
this remedy, and have since always
turned to it when I got a cold, and soon
tind relief. I also recommend it to my
friends and am glad to sav it is the bent
of all cough medicines." For sale by

Ranch Bigger Than Two States.
There is a cattle ranch in Texas
not quite as large as Alsace-Lorraine,
three-fourths the size of Wales
much larger than Porto Rico, and
almost as large as Hawaii. It could
swallow up the States of Rhode Is
land and Delaware combined and
would overlap Connecticut by many
thousand acres. Its area is about
5,000 square miles. It is distributed
over nine counties. Tucked away in
the northwest corner of the Panhan
dle it would not be missed out of
Texas, which is larger than either
France or the German Empire.
Its name is the X I T ranch. It is
owned by a Chicago syndicate. The
property is not yet worked to any
thing like its full capacity, but it
sustains about 125,000 head of cattle
and 1.C00 horses. The human popu
lation of the ranch is very scanty.
Only 125 men are employed to look
after the live stock, each man cover
ing on an average 40 square miles.
Their labors are simplified by an ex
tensive system of barbed wire fences.
There are ranch houses, wells, reser
voirs, windmills, dams and all other
accessories needed on such a pro
perty. About 12 years ago, when Texas
needed a new State Capitol the Leg
islature adopted a novel plan to get
it. A promise was held forth that a
vast tract of land would be given for
a building. Among those ttmpted
by this offer were ex-Senator Chas.
B. Farwell and his brother John,
who ultimately formed a syndicate
in Chicago and took upon themselves
the responsibility of erecting the
proposed capitol.
Bride Only Twelve Years Old.
The most youthful prospective
bride in Virginia is 12-year-old Miss
Willie Clemens, of Goochland. This
young girl last Monday applied to
the Clerk of Goochland for a license
to marry a young man named Hod
ges, 22 years old, which that officer
declined to grant. The pretty appli
cant finally, through her parents, ap
pealed to the judge of the County
Court. Under the circumstances,
there being no legal barrier, the
Court, though evidently against his
will, ordered a license to be issued.
The troubles of the young couple
had not ended. Up to last reports
all efforts to induce a minister in
Goochland to celebrate this child's
marriage have been unsuccessful. It
is, however, quite certain thatioung
Hodges and his child sweetheart will
find someone who will perform these
offices for them. This case has at
tracted general attention, and with
one exception is the first one in Vir
ginia in which a girl of such tender
years has ever been issued a license
to marry. There is, however, no age
limit fixed by law for the female or
for the male, where the consent of
parents or guardian has been ob
tained. A number of years ago a
case in Orange county, where the
prospective bride was probably 11 or
12 years old, attracted attention.
No license was, however, issued in
this instance.
Seventy Pounds at Six Months Old.
Vineland's (N. J.) infant prodigy
that weighed 53 pounds at the age of
four months is still doing stunts on
the scales. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Mun3'an, and
now, at the age of 7 months, is keep
ing everybody guessing by her re
markable fluctuations in weight. At
birth she weighed 10J pounds, but
immediately began to put on flesh
until, at the age of 6 months, she
weighed 70 pounds. Then she had
the grip and began to cut her front
teeth with the result that she lost
thirty pounds at the rate of a pound
a day." Now she is regaining her for
mer size almost like an expanding
balloon.
Mrs. Munyan still nurses her won
derful baby. She says it is not being
raised on a scientific theory. In fact
the onlv theory of any kind that
Mrs. Munyan has ou the subject of
raising children is that they shouldn't
be bathed too often. Mrs. Munyan
thinks it weakens them.
(lave Baby Brother Poison.
Mrs. Lillian Webb, of Hillburn, N.
Y., went out Tuesday leaving her
one-year-old baby boy in the care of
her six-year-old daughter. When
Mrs. Webb returned she found the
little girl holding the baby, who wa9
dead.
"Mamma," said the child, "I gave
baby medicine, and he won't wake
up."
The baby had cried and the child
tried to soothe it by giving it a med
icine she had often seen her mother
administer, but she got hold of a lau
danum bottle by mistake.
Twins Break Thirteen Spell.

A Soil Delicate ApirtQ.
One of the most delicate pieces of an

blood no larger than the head of a pin
there are from three to our million of
these red cells. Iu health there are
certain number in a certain amount of
blood; while iu certain diseases, as ane

A liood and Practieal Invention.
Another invention has been turned
out by Dr. R. K. Gregory, of Greens
boro. It is a breech-loading army
rifle, to which is attached a knapsack
filled with a coil of five hundred or
more shells, which the soldier carries
on his back. The coil is attached to
the firing chamber of the rifle by an
extension which passes under the
right arm. The knapsack, when
emptied, can be detached from the
gun in an instant and a new one sub
stituted as easily as putting on a
vest.
Dr. Gregory claims that this gun
can be fired at the rate of sixty times
a minute without taking it from the
shoulder. The cost of this rifle, its
inventor claims, will not exceed the
cost of the guns now in the use of the
army. A patent has been applied
for.
