A kindly canrsponflenfc writes on a,
(postal card: “Why do you not touch
Jmore earnestly upon the great question
of the distribution of wealth? You must
notice that there is a dangerous and
(growing feeling of bitterness on the part
jof poverty toward capital. Is there ever
(likely to be a just adjudication of this
question so that there will be no more
l«ggravated oases of wealth elbowing
nest poverty in the great highway of

jtratiou of great heaps of wealth while
(hunger and misery are also on the in*
areasef’
I cannot solve this question. I wish

Itering quite a mass of currency which
tactually belongs to me, but I am sorry

An Unearned Increment was one day
,passing through a wood called Central
Ipark, with a towel tied over his head,
NATURAL DOCKED TAIL,
saturated with arnica, while one lobe
of his whiskers had been burned off,
.giving him a dejected and lopsided ap-
pearance.
“Alas, my friend, you are indeed in
* sad plight!” said a bloody but ener-
getic Anarchist who had just escaped
from threatened employment, and who
oat by the roadside administering kero-
sene oil to his gnn. “Pray, what has
betid yon, gentle friend, that you
should look so rocky while all nature
4b so gay? Who could have given you
suoh a jolt?”
'‘Alack! ’ * quoth the Increment, ‘ ‘good
stranger, I was on my way to the busy
mart, where I had an appointment to
declare a dividend, when I was set upon
by a party calling hynself Organized La-
'bar and beaten most shamefully. I have
but just escaped with my life and. a
valuable diamond, which 1 swallowed.
(I am indeed most fortunate to find you
here, for I feel qnite faint from loss of
blood, and you look like one who would
Rot stir abroad without having about
Mm what is called n North American
nip.”
‘‘In good spoth,” said the Anarchist,
removing a burdock bur from his beard
thoughtfully and then putting it back
•gain, “1 fear that liquor might raise
your temperature at this time and bring
on pyaemia, or blood poisoning. But let
one ask you, Did you not cry out- lustily
lor the police when yon were attacked?”
“Marry, but I did, insomuch that the
wood rang again with the outcry. ”
“And did yon not renew your alarm
and cry out agaiil and again?”
“Voila, Mon Dieu, good wight, but I
did shriek encore^ Plenty, heap encore!
Then I did so yet again, but the park
seemed deserted even by the nursegirls,
and the police, too, were down town
holding a pantata reunion, so that me
voice came back to me a mere wailing
echo. ”
“And you got no response whatever?"
queried the Anarchist as he reached up
inside the sleeve of his coat for the
sleeve of on imaginary shirt.
“None whatever, alas! good varlet,”
said the Increment sadly, “and it was
thus that they done me up. ”
“And was there no wayfarer to hear
yonr outcry?”
“None, alas!”
"Well," said the Anarchist, arising
with some emotion and taking a dra't
of reddish wassail from a concealed re-
oeptaole, “that being the case, methinks
I will disturb you a moment for what
clothing you havo about your person.
Glean linen Is an offense against free-
dom, so I Will trouble you to hand it
over to me, and I will soou take off
that glaring air of whiteness that is so
tryiug to the eye. ”
Whereupon ho Smote the Unearned
Increment by menus of a pant leg filled
with geology.
A week later a police captain, while
on his way to look at a $88,000 resi-
dence which he was about to buy for his
rwiie. it being the annivnrsarv of his
| PROGRESS.
People who get the greatest
degree of comfort and real en-
joyment out of life, are those
who make the most out
<r= _ of their opportunities.
Quick perception and
good judgment, lead such
promptly to adopt and
make use of those refined
and improved products of
modem inventive genius
which best serve the
needs of their physical
being. Accordingly,
the mopt intelligent
and progressive people
are found to employ
the most refined ana
perfect laxative to reg-
r ulate and tone up the
stomach, liver, and
bowels, when in need
of such an agent—hence the great popularity
of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are
made from the purest, most refined and
concentrated vegetable extracts, and from
forty-two to forty-four are contained in
each vial, which is sold at the same price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
pilty found in the market. In curative vir-
tues, there is no comparison to be made be-
tween them and the ordinary pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel-
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name
and address on a postal card.
QNCE USED THEY ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
first year as captain, he noticed that
some one in the park was seeking to at-
tract his gaze silently by throwing out
little hints upon the summer air to the
effect that he was dead and desired at-
tention. . (f
He stepped aside to look.
Lying boneath a small shrub, exposed
to the merciless sun, braised, beaten
and discolored, lay the remains of the
Unearned Increment.
Moral—Wealth has in this life a
rooky road to travel, and ye who vainly
yearn for crowded and overflowing cof-
fers should remember that the day will
oome when there will be a grand reck-
oning also with the rich and when ye
shall surely have the laugh on Dives.
Lazarus may have his sad and hope-
less days and disagreeable nights treat-
ing his eczema, but what is a short life-
time of toil aud sorrow compared with
eternal dog days barefooted on the hot
pavements of the bad place?
“Two Little Boys In Blne,’(' Fron-
tenac, write: “We have a debating olnb
here, and recently wo have taken up
the question, ‘Resolved, That it is not
justifiable to dock the tails of horses. ’
What is your own opinion?”
My own opinion is that it is not jus-
tifiable,. but more honored in the breach
than in the observance if you* will per-
mit a delicate pnn caused by hot weather
and overwork.
It is a fashion which is feebly defend-
ed by fashionable people only. My own
stud is free from docked horses aud my
stables from the overdraw check. The
.overdraw check is as injurious to the
comfort and beauty of the horse as it is
to one’s equilibrium at the bank.
A high authority says recently in The
Country Gentleman that the only ex-
cuse offered for docking horses—viz,
that it prevents their getting their taili
over the line and keeping them there—
is entirely exploded by recent experi
ments.
The docking process besides aggra-
vates the nervousness and sensitiveness
of the horse regarding his tail, and so
defeats its very object. However, as I
said a moment ago, it is merely a fash-
ion, ranking along with that of cutting
an eyelet in the nose and wearing a bone
collar button in it, peculiar*to barbarous
dudes, or the silly custom of flattening
the head of a child by putting him in
the crude squatting machine during in-
fancy. ,
In Africa there isa social set of peo-
ple who bore a holffTn the under lip and
wear a large ivory peg ip the button-
bole, while others cut or burn long fur-
rows across the front breadths of their
bodies, so as to raise huge ridges and
cicatrices, yvhich they regard as beauti-
ful and aristocratic.

distress after eating, and kindred derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always
fresh and reliable. One little “Pellet”
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
As a “dinner pill,” to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, they are un-
equaled. They are tiny, sugar-coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom-
mended to be "just as good.” It may be
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help. Address for free sample,

change in the weather?
There was never a time in the history
of the world when men and women
were more sensible regarding tbeir
dress, it seems to me, than the present.
Men go without vests even in congress
if they are more comfortable, and wom-
en are giving up the custom of squeez-
ing the floating ribs into the lungs in
order to look slender and miserable.
The old Roman toga, which was so
unsatisfactory in cold, blustery weather,
has been discarded, and the present
styles worn by English speaking men
and women are getting more and more
of a foothold even among the more re-
mote races.

follow this wicked custom in order that
they may be considered fashionable.

marriage by a man with an income of
$36,000 a year, but her father insisted1
that she wait until she were 20.
“Why, papa,” she protested, “that’s
four years.”
“Of course it is,” he said, “and that
is not any too long to wait. ”
“Yes, but think of it, papal”
“I have thought of it, and that’s why
I want you to wait. ”
“But I don’t want to wait. ”
“Why not? You love him, and he
loves you, and the income is secured by
investments that will be just as good
four years hence as they are now. “
