The Sp ctacle Game.
The old specta le racket was worked
in town Thursda last by a glib -tong-
ued young man al out twenty years of
age. His missio as usual, was to sell
some useful hou ehold article — this
time can -openers' and before leaving
he would introduce the spectacle game.
As he went from house to house his
story vase that he ad. just arrived from
Centralia and whi there had picked.
up from the steet pair of gold -rimmed
spectacles. He in ; uired and could find
no owner and as t ey were of no use to
him he would sell hem cheap—adollar.
Those who boughwill have a better
idea of their "ba sin" after wearing
the spectacles a ew days. Thus the
old old adage ag in applies, "a fool and
his money soon parted."—Mitchell Ad-

THERE ARE s THERS.
Sometimes a ma gets the notion
that he is so import nt in the scheme
of things that if he ere to draw back
his hand everything would collapse like
a house of cards. otions of this kind
have been entertai ed by kings and
queens, by men m naging businesses
large and small, b women presiding
over households, by peasants directing
the cultivation of li tie farms. Because
a man does the ding he seems to
think that without me there would be
no guidance. But • e is wrong. For-
ever and ever there is the other man
who will do well when he gets his
chance,
One can imagine dmiral Jervis pac-
ing the deck of his agsbip and worry-
ing to think what t e might of Prance
would do to Britaii were .anything to
happen to him, alt .ugh under his or
ders—and might eontemptuous of
them—was a youn commodore named
Nelson, who made short work of the
enemy once he sue ceded in outwitting
the caution of his uperiors. Did ever
a man seem so in•ispensable as Bis-
marek? Yet not oc ly was he dispensed
with, but antagon ed, and Germany
moved along, erasii Y him as she went.
It seems but the o her day that Mr.
Roosevelt was not only President of
the United States, ut the source of
thousand activities that eleetrifi:ed the
republic. When e quit office few
among us supposed that he relinquished
power! Yet for so lie time past he has
sat a silent and wie-eyed spectator of
a countr, rushing .nd running its enor-
mous affairs quit as if already un-
aware of his eels duce. The truth is
that nobody is so i iportant that people
dig him up anal once he bas been
buried, uness hi enemies do it in
malice, as happen d to the tired bonss
