The Chronic Kicker. There are "kickers" and ''kickers. The m'm who "kicks" for a good reason, and because he refuges to submit to the injustice or wrong in any form, deserves applause.

APROPOS of the nomination of Thomas B. Keed for speaker, the Xew York Press recalls his story of the muttonless dog: "Once- there was a He a nice dog. Nothing tlie tu.ilter with him except foolieh free trade idea in his head. He was trotting along h'tppy as the day, for he had in his mouth a nice shoulder of succulent mutton. By and by he came to a stream b-iJged by a plank.

He trotted along, and looking over the side of the plank he saw the markets of the world, and dived for them. A minute later he was crawling up the bank the wettest, the sickest, the sleekest, the nastiest, the most nmttonless swam ashore." There nre that ever foolish free trade ideas about E-ed, und hence he has the succulent mutton. Ballard's Snow Liniment.
