It is possible for people to be brigh* enough to dazzle themselves. 7 ! The smashing of the Colorado potato trust will result in more mashed pota- toes, 7 Honor is one of the things that gen- erally fall to the lot of those who are rot seeking it. We are all too apt to think that bad people will make an exception in their conduct towards us. People who cannot distinguish be- tween what they need and what they desire are never satisfied. Intending immigrants to the United tates who can’t read will do well to or- e a good night schoo] right now. No man ever became ot much use te the world until he learned that he could not live on the promises of other people. “The older a man gets,” said the corn-fed philosopher, “the harder he finds it to feel sorry for a woman whose pug dog has dicd.” The report that Gomez is “moving back” to avoid the heavy Spanish col- umns suggests that Gen, Weyler should break up his columns with more para- graphs. Myler Dono Olliver of Kansas City has four living great-grandparents and four grandparents. It is apparent that he will not suffer for lack of parental admonition. Dr, Lyman Abbott is in trouble again over that “Jonah and the whale” nar- rative. Whenever a minister tries to | handle that biblical story it proves to be all “Jonah.” A German scientist says that “the very best thing anyone can do is to eat apples.” If we remember correct- ly the late Mr. Adam adopted that plat- form, and see where he landed! European doctors approve the de- ison of the New York Board of Health tn regard to the isolation of consump- tives. They say, however, that it is theoretically imperative, yet in prac- tice it is very difficult to carry on. The Salvation Army in Chicago has a plan similar to that so effectively employed by General Booth for the regeneration of the dwellers in the fowest slums of London, and which has been followed with good results. They contemplate the drafting of the anemployed and penniless from Chi- cago and putting them at work on small tracts of land and in small fac- tories outside of the city. A Chicago faith-healer last week cured a $7,500 lawsuit for Goshen, Ind. A year ago Orville Alford fell into a street excavation and sued for dam- ages. The circuit court gave him $7,500 after a long contest. Alford, whose physician advised amputation of both legs, consulted a Chicago faith-cure practitioner, returned without his crutches and says he is entirely cured. He may get a few hundred dollars. Ex- perts made the most critical investiga- tion at the trial and pronounced the plaintiff incurable. Five well-known young bachelors of Shelbyville, Ind., have formed them- selves into a club called The Coming Benedicts, and have bound themselves to be married before next Christmas, registering their oaths to that effect before a magistrate. They are to meet for dinner, with their wives, at a hotel, Dec. 25, 1897, and if any one of them has failed to keep his pledge he must come down to the dinner in charge of the sheriff, bound and gagged, and must forfeit $100 to each of the others. The chances are that the asylums will get the most of them before the year is out. The people of Manchester, Conn., are taking steps to obtain legislative re- sirictions on the sale of cocaine. The most prominent citizens of the* town are mad for the drug, and the habit has become so widespread that the future prosperity of the town is seriously *hreatened. About a year ago a lotal cruggist made a preparation of cocaine and menthol which could be used as a pnuff and was intended as a specific for asthma, The prescription was passed round, with terrible result. The prep- aration costs 50 cents an ounce, and many of the habitues consume as much &s $5 worth in a week. Last year was a very prosperous one for Great Britain. In a rather inter- esting address delivered at Bristol on Thursday, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer of the United Kingdom, said that the pros- perity of the country in 1896 even ex- ceeded that of the preceding year, the value of the imports showing an in- crease of £25,000,000, while the exports increased in value £14,000,000. He said he had reason to anticipate a fair reve- aue, and declared that the surplus would be beyond what was generally *xpected, PITH vf THE NEWS, a EVENT: JF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM. portfolio seem3 now td | 4 General Resume of the Most Im- portant News of the Week, From all Parts of the Globe, Boiled Down and Arranged in Con- Form for Rapid Per- usal by Busy People. venient Washington Talk.

Polk Has Now Settled Down to Polk and Red Lake. Crookston, Minn., Feb. 23.—Garfield county is defeated by seven votes. During the past three days the board appointed by the court to recount the entire vote on county division has been steadily at work and has now finished with the above result. ‘This recount was ordered by the court to satisfy a contest brought by citizens of Fertile, which village was to be the county seat of Garfield. The original election returns showed that this prop- osition was defeated by five votes. This will practically settle all disputes concerning the territory to be em- braced in Polk county. The final re- sult of the division vote seems to be that Polk is now two counties, itself and Red Lake, Polk nearly surround- ing the other. By the Garfield recount the. Columbia county proposition gained ten votes, which almost sives it precedence over the Garfield claim. CAMPED ON HER TRAIL. Fate, in the Guise of a Wicked Hus- band, After Mrs. Spofford.
