J. Rucker. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to talk a word with Mr. Rucker. Mr. Rucker, since when has Goliafc come to life? He has been dead years and years ago. I know what you meant when you called me Goliah. I read the Bible, too, some times. Thank you for calling me a man. I am a man sure enough, but a wo-man and a widow wo-man at that, just about your age and I am expecting to be your next wife. I have the advantage of you Mr. Rucker, I know where you live and I know your occupation, but you like a lpt of knowing anything about me when you called me a man. I know that Sam Jones said the dog that's hit is the one that howls, but it is the yellow dog that makes laws and can't carry them into effect, so I will help you to be the yellow dog. I will be the head and you the tail and so we will make laws right. Now, Mr. Rucker, I am not calling you nor myself a yellow dog, but it takes a yellow dog to act big, walk up now, sir, and we will form a line. The following are the laws that I am going to make when women are allowed to pass resolutions, and expect to carry them out strictly to the end. These are my laws: Any man that will sell half rotten mackerel and have people sick on them is to have twenty-five feet of his nose cut off. A ! i il l Ml .. 1 1 any mercnant mat win not Keep i his store clean on the floor is to be hung till his neck stretches three feet long.

All who use Cbamberlain'8 Pain j Balm for rheumatism are delighted ! with the quick relief from pain which ; it affords. When speaking of this j Mr. D. N. Sinks, of Troy, Ohio, says: j ''Some time ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. I tried numerous remedies but got no relief until I was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons & Co., druggists of this place, to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They recommended it so highly that I bought a bottle. I was soon relieved from all pain. I have since recommended this linimen', to many of my friend?, who agree with me that it is the best remedy for muscular rheumatism in the market " For sale by J. E Kaufmann. Why is a Woman Like an Umbrella? ' Why is a woman like an umbrella ? asked the exchange editor, according to the Chicego Tribune. "Because she's made of ribs and attached to a stick," replied the information editor. "Why is?" "Wrong. Guess again." "Because she always has to be shut up when?" "Naw! You fatigue rae." "Because she stands in the hall and ?" "Naw! It's nothing about standing in the hall." "A woman is like an umbrella because nobody ever gets the right one. Why is?" "Ring off. That isn't the answer, either." "It's a better one than you've got." "Don't you reckon I know whether it is or not? Whose connundrum is this, yours or mine?" "Well, she's like an umbrella because?it isn't because she fades with age, is it ?" "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." "I am. It's because ycu have to put up when it's cloudy or threatening?no, that can't be it. Because she's a good thing to have in the house. Why is?" "You're not within four counties of it." "Because you can't find any pocket in either. Why is?" "No choice. Vote again." "I won't! A woman isn't like an umbrella: There is not the slightest resemblance. You go on with your work and let me alone." 'T knew you couldn't guess it. It's because she's accustomed to reign." Then the information editor rose in his wrath, and they were only prevented from doing mischief to each other by prompt?and wholly unexpected?work on the part of the labor editor. Caught a Dreadful Cold. Marion Kooke, manager for T. M. Thompson, a large importer of fine millinery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, eays: "During the late severe weather I caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work during the day. One of my milliners was taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to relieve her so quickly that I bought some for myself. It acts like magic and I am now entirely well and I feel very pleased to acknowledge its merits." For sale by J. E Kaufmann. ? - Presidential Appointments. Newberry Otserver. There has been some criticism of John G. Capers, the new appointee for district attorney, on account of his political course. Appointed to office first under a democratic administration, he held on when the republican party returned to power; and now has been appointed to one of the highest offices in the gift of the president. He has profited by pcli- j tics, and therefore it is in the power of critics to say that, he is a republican for revenue only; that he has changed his political views ficm interested motives. Nobody butbimself knows whether this is true; we do j not believe it is, because we do Dot j believe that he is the kind of man i j "To crook the prfgnaul hinges of the knee j That thri t may follow fawning." It is easy to understand his change i of views. In the first place, there j has been.ft very decided change in JOODS GOiPJ DZtT, TX3., Patronage. Polite and political conditions since he was ap- J pointed as a democrat. In tne second place, the democratic party has drifted very far from the Cleveland democracy, which was dominant when he wae appointed. But, above all else, he has been treated kindly by the republican administration and would naturally feel that its policy is the correct one. But, it is said the appointment of Mr. Capers and of others that are likely to follow will have very little influence in building up a republican party in the State. Maybe so. The few who will go into the party for the loaves and fishes, encouraged by I--'- ."-A 4 1,1 f?y. | LI J" uppuiLiimem, wuuiu wuub iui very little in a presidential campaign. But if the president will continue in the same line; if he will see to it that all the appointees in the southern states aie white men, capable and men of character, whether they are democrats or republicans, it will bring about a kindly disposition toward the south. With the great mass of people it is not a matter of much concern who the officers are just so they are capable and white and are men who have never had anything to do with foisting negro rule on the state are in no way mixed up in the party rascalities in the days of good stealing. Such appointments as that of Col. Capers will have considerable influence towards building up a republican party in the south among people who are not politicians at all, but who want to see a more national spirit and a more progressive policy than the democratic party can now lay claim to. There is only one way to prevent it, and that is for the democrotic party to adopt a more progressive and broader policy and cut loose from dead issues and out- i of-date leaders.

Octo GIRL LIFE IN PAO-TING-FU. - Description of the Daily Programme in a Chinese School. AmoDg the missionaries of the American Board at Pac-Ting-Fu, China, is Miss. Mary S. Morril, a teacher in the girls' school there. In i a recent letter she gives the follow- ; ing interesting account of a day in a Chinese girl's school life. The first bell rings at G:15 o'clock, and at once the work of the morning toilet begins. The girls dress alike, esch costume consisting of a pair cf loose, bsggy trousers, which are fastened at the ankle by a strong ribbon, and a sack that reaches nearly to the koees. The latter has five buttons, one at the throat, one at the right shoulder and three under the arm. "One of the girls always sees that the water in the bathroom is warmed for the morning fscs washing, be cause a Chinese would shiver in astonishment when she expected, even in summer. to make her toilet with cold water. Breakfast frequently consists of cornmeal cakes, cabbage stew and the remainder of a previous night's porridge. White flour, being a special treat, is used ooly twice a week. Thi3 is ueually accompanied by a little meat, which is chopped fine with cabbage and onions. Sweet potatoes and turnips, fresh and salted, make a variety in the week's billof-fare. Supper consists of porridge made of cornmeal, millet QDd rice. Beans are often mixed with the millet and rice. "The girls do their own laundering. Instead of beiDg ironed the clothes are folded smoothly while damp, and laid upon a stone slabaDd pounded vigorously with wooden pestles. "Studying aloud, which often makes a bedlam of Oriental classrooms, is a thing of the past in our schcol, but tbe expression on the pupils' faces while they are silently pursuing their lessons often reminds me of the looks that the hack drivers wore after they were forbidden to hawk 'Cab! cab! cab!' The 'holler is still there,' as a small friend tnce remarked as she looked at a row of the silent horsemen. i "For recreation there are swings, ( jumping ropes and jickstcnee, and the girls all enjoy weaving articles out of cornstalks. The retiring bell rings at 8:30 o'clock. The crusade against foot binding has been waged with success in Pao Ting Fu." New York Tribune. A Raging, Roaring Flood.

A man who smokes four cigars a day and chews 25 cents worth of tobacco a week and drinks a quart of whiskey or more id toe same ume, | says he was too poor to take a local I paper. He is a smart man, too. And j economical, I should smile. This I saving fellow was getting a Maine j story paper, and found by sending a | dollar he could get a cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he did. It was "take the pledge and keep it" Later on ho sent ;10 two-cent j stamps to find out how to raise beets | successfully. He found out. The answer was ' just take hold and pull." Being siDgle he wished to marry and sent 34 one-cent stamps to a Chicago firm to learn how to make an impres eion. When the answer came ijt read: j "Sit down on a pan of dough." That ; was a little tough: but he was a patient man and thought he would j 1 yot succeed. The next advertise- 1 ment be read, "how to double his 1 : money in six months.'' He was told to convert his money into bills, fold : them and he would see his money 1 doubled. But he was bound to get I some useful seciet by which he could i make monev, so he sent $5 to find | , out how to wiite without a pen and j ink. The answer was, "try a lead ' ber I3tf pencil" Then he sent a dollar to learn how to get rich?"work like the devil aDd never spend a cent.' This was discouraging; but be decided to try once more and sent a dollar bill to learn bow to live without work, and was told to "fish for suckers as we do." He now takes the home paper and is happy.
