TWO LADIES AT WCRK, Lord Randolph Churchills Great Mistake In Overlooking Goshen. The circumstances connected with the appointment of Mr. Goshen to the exchequer Sigma, an English author thinks are as dramatic as any that ever occurred in English politics. The principal actor was, of course, Lord Randolph Churchill, who, intoxicated with his rapid advancement, had resolved to try his strength with no less a personage than the prime minister himself. "Laudace, laudace, toujours, laudace, was his maxim, and for a moment it looked as if the game were going in his favor, when he suddenly played a card which proved his ruin. That Is to say, haveving, as he thought, reckoned with ery contingency, he resigned office, making certain he was indispensable to the government, who would be to supplicate him to return on his own terms. But just as the great omitted cornerer Liverpool wheat from his exhaustive calculations one remote area, so it had never occurred to Lord Randolph that a successor to him might be found outside the ranks of the conservative party. His resig nation was accepted, but he only regarded that as a matter of form, and waited, first in surprise, then in something like consternation, for Lord Salisburys humble petition to him to resume office. Day after day passed and nothing came not a messenger, not a note, not a syllable of any deWhat did it all mean scription. Could it be possible that he was a negligible quantity, and that they wers going to do without him, after all? A paragraph in the Times soon enlightened him. Taking up the paper at breakfast, the announcement met his eye that Mr. Goshen had been offered and accepted the post of chancellor of the exchequer, lately resigned by Lord Randolph Churchill. By God, he is reported to have exclaimed, dropping the newspaper, I had forgotten Goshen! City Policeman Explains Cause of Un usual Gathering.

Since I adopted the system of oil fattening two years ago 1 have made more money off my stock than ever before. They eat less grain now by nearly 40 per cent and at the same time they weigh heavier than they used to. The butchers tell me their flesh Is better, too. They say it is firmer, finer, and the fat is whiter. Of course, an animal wont take cod liver oil raw so I mixed it with meal. Cod liver oil is an excellent thing for broken-windehorses. In fact, I use this fluid for a dozen purposes on my farm, buying it in bulk from the wholesale dealers. Philadelphia Record. Farmer Says d Great Men Who Lived Long.

Advices have been received from Kltkatlah, a village on the northern British Columbia coast, of the rescue of an Indian who was about to be killed by fellow tribesmen who suspected him of practicing sorcery. The persecuted Indian known as Daniel Watabee, had put a ball of fat bound with hair and pierced with fleh bonee, in his shoe as a charm which he hoped would bring him the love of an Indian woman. Fellow tribesmen accused him of sorcery, and he was kept five days without food. Russian Decree Against Churches Has Driven Armenians Into Mourning. The existence of a Armenian revolutionary plot in the Caucasus has been officially recognized by Minister of the Interior De Plchve, says a New York Times dispatch from Moscow.

T was so bad for two years afterwards that I could hardly sit down, and when once down It was almost impossible for me to get up again. I tried all the medicine I could hear of and several doctors without help, not even for a moment. I used Dodds Kidney Pills and they made a new man out of me. I felt as if there was new blood in my veins. I am as stout ln the back as a mule and can lift and work as hard as I please without an ache or pain in any part of my body.
