Tbe same good feeling which actuated tbe Business Men's Association at Lao sing to render its anpport to tbe build­ing of a new court boose at Mason, would prompt tbe Baslnee* Men's Asso­ciation of Owoseo to do likewise, we have not tbe slightest doubt Tbe good feeling between *h« two cm JS bas been growing, and it ia not an unoaoal thing to bear the member* of tbe Owosao Business Men's Association to say that they arewiliing to aid in building a new coart boose, which tbe coohty so badly need*! at Coronna. It seems to us that during . these -unprecedented prosperous times is tbe proper time to erect a bnUdirjg for the eociity. In which all of tbe people would take jn«t pride.

Oar court boose is nearly, as poor as that of Ingham, and does notmretths requirements of the business of tbe county. and is * disgrace, to tbe comity. By all means, let as have a sew court boose.

Eighty-First Birthday.

March 5th was the happy SIst birth­day anniversary of Mrs. Azuba Goff, vi £v r<->n. which was celebrated pleas­antly with her children, grand-children and great grand-children and other guests. She was remembered with flow­ers and numerous pretty gifts sent by the absent or brought by those present. A sumptuous dinner was served- and all were made glad. Tbe following lines were read:

Eighty-one inU-rottfided years have passed Since she, whose birthday now we greet,

First in parental arais va« clasped, Aa infant treasure, priceless, sweet, • • .

Of God's beat gtfta to -as of jarth, , What ean cotaparc to nnfoHUns* llyes

linked to our own in mystic birth By hopeful, glad parental ties?

Long- since, those parents went to rest, And she the infant in her turn, ' "

Rejoiced o'er fair babes on her breast, And hoped bright iutores they might earn;

To-day t^ey come to mother's home, With children's children, her to greet,

No lives are lived unblessed alone. Where progeny delights to meet.

It matters not the fewer years She lingers on these mortal shores,

Her work most done, no falling tears, Bttt hopeful looklngs on before.

For who can tell the joys so rife Wu<o we are given spirit birth?

Wuen God shall breathe immortal life Upon tbe aged, wayworn ones of earth?

BegardiuUr to all, H. K. C.

French tailor n Fifth near G street) uncrossed his legs, flung aside hisgoose and board, tapes, shears, chalks, needles .and threid and resumed the scarlet brooches of a French zouave, clad in which he had-mounted many'a barricade in P.Tris, and wherefore he was then in Washington, drew his newly burr.ished. sword, :ind with the colors of l.is adopted country floating over his • Lack, bristling, waxed mus­tache jr.. d military chin whiskers, march i-'- fiercely day after day. throur'i +he streets gathering recruit* and kindling into blazing wrath the sparks of patriotism. He fought noWy, brave little Deais did, and so he fell.

Later, volunteers not offering in suf­ficient number to fill the depleted ranks as the war progressed, and re­cruiting proving insufficient, resort was had to the draft.

Maj. Jim O'Beirne, of the engineer corps, provost marshal, was super­intending the drafting business in the District of Columbia.

On notification X went up to *ee

him, and iiiade all my representa-| tions—to no effect. I was sent in to! "the doctor" in an adjoining frame shanty, who ordered me to strip, \ somewhat, and handled me, and; tapped me, and punched me, and auscultated me. He asked me vari­ous impertinent questions, weighed and measured me, and—the rascal, who was a personal friend of my fa­ther and of mine—gave me a certifi­cate to -hand in to O'Beirne, stating that the bearer had passed all tests favorably. The scamp then congrat­ulated me, saying: "You will make a bully little soldier; report t«. the major!"

Substitutes "came high, but w? had to have them." I have before me now my drafting papers and the correspondence which ensued with the war department. First, I had to pay a substitute broker $400 to pro­cure for me a fellow who was will­ing to be shot or otherwise done to death in my place. He turned out within the next t e n days to be a bounty jumper and skipped with all

the boodle—dcsertiug the service and me, too. I was notified by the de­partment and directed to find an­other one. On the heels of this came another communication from the de­partment, saying: "Your substitute has been captvired and a portion of the money found hidden iu his boots. Yon will have to supply' the defi­ciency," [ d i d so, and before I was clear Of the scrape I had paid out $750 or $S0i). There has been a lot or talk ever since about congress re­imbursing Grover aud me and the others, with interest on this invest-ment, but it has not yet material­ized.

Shortly after I got out of this hole poor old Joe Couoway, a fine urn n«tgro, a family servant of my wife's, was also drafted, Ht was not a t all martial and no ways belligerent* I worked in every way for tae poor fellow, but all in vain.

Joe had to leave wife, two otrir* dren and cart driving and go down to the nearest camp, to be mustered in, drilled, e t c

In one week after word was sent to me,- through the authorities, that Joe Conoway was dead—died of nostalgia (homesickness), So com­mon a case did this become that all pension papers admit nostalgia as a cause of death, if proven sufficient to secure the indorsement approved.

tC&pyrijrlit, 1*3, by Louts Klopach, K. T.] Washington , March 2»

A familiar illustration from the bamyia l is eniploj cu'in this discourse by Dr. Talniage to ahow the comfort and protection that Heaven affords to ail trusting- souls. The test is Mat» thew 23:37: "Kvon as a hen gathereth her chickens undtr her wings and ye wouP. not."

Jerusalem was in sight as Christ came to the crest of Mount Olivet, a height of 700 feet. Tfcc splendors of the religious capital of the whole earth irradiated the landscape. There is the temple. Yonder is the king's palace. Spread out before his eyes are the pomp, the wealth, the wickedness and tb* coming destructioxv of Jerusalem, and he burst* into tear* at the thought of the obduracy of a place that he would gladly have saved and apostrophizes, saying: "O, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how-7often would T have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under ber wings, and ye would not !**

Why did Christ select hem* and chick­ens as a simile ? Xext td tbe ap'posite-n.esa of the comparison, I think it was

—to help all public teachers Jnjthe mat­ter of illustration-to, get. down off their stilts and use comparisons that all ean understand. T ie plainest bird on earth Is'the barnyard fowl, i t s only "adornments are the red comb in it* headdress and the wattles under the'throat. It has no grandeur of genealogy. All we know is that its an­cestors came from India, some ~ of them from a height of 4,000 feet on both sides of tbe Himalayas. It has no pretension of nest like the eagle*s eyrie. It- has no luster of plumage like the goldfinch. Possessing anat­omy that alibws flight.yet about the last thing it wants to) do is to fly, and in retreat uses foot almost as much as .Tvlng. Musicians have written out in musical scale the song Of lark and robin redbreast and nightingale,,, -, nd y e t the hen-of n»y text hath nothing that could be taken for a song, hot only the aiuek aad cackle. Yet Christ in the tffcfc tittered while looking*npoa ^coined Jeraaalem declares that what lie wished for that city was like what the ha* does fo*- her chickeuc.

Christ W M tkiw simple In 9 k teach­ings, and yet t o w hard it is for us who are Sunday school instructors and ed­itors and preachers and reformers Sud those who would gain the ears of audiences to attain that Heavenly and Divine art of simplicity! We have to run a course of literary disorders as children a course e f physicaldifcorders. We come out of school and college loaded down with Greek mythologies and out of the theological seminary weighed down wit a what the learned -fathers said, and we fly wish wi&gs of eagles and flamingoes and albatrosses, and it takes a good while before we ean come down to Christ's similitudes,' the candle under the bushel the salt that has lost its sp.vor, the net thrown into the sea, the spittle on the eys of the blind man and the hen and chick-.

There is not much poetry about this winged creature of God mentioned in my text, but she is more practical and more motherly and more suggest­ive of good things than many that fiy higher and wear brighter colors. She is not a prima' donna of the skies nor a strut of beauty in the aisle of the forest. She does not cut a circle un­der the .sun like the Rocky mountain eagle, but stays at home to look after family affairs. - She doe? not swoop like the condor of the Cordilleras to transport a rabit from the valley to the top of the crags, but just scratches for a living.

I am in warm sympathy with the •unpretentious and old fashioned-lien because, like most of us, she has to scratch for a living. She knows at the start what most people of good sense *fe filow to learn—that the gaining of a livelihood implies work and that successes do not lie on the surface, but kre to be upturned'by positive and con­tinuous effort. The reason that soci­ety and the church and the world are so-full of failures, so full of loafers, so full of dead heats is because the peo­ple are hot wise enough to take the lesson whjch any hen would teach them that if they would find for them­selves and for those dependent upon them anything worth having they must scratch for it.

One day in the country we saw audden consternation in the behavior o f old Dominick. "Why the hen •should be so disturbed we could not understand. We looked about to see if a neighbor's dog were invading the farm. We looked up to see if a stormclond were hovering. We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorize, and we could see nothing in the air to ruffle the feath­ers of the hen, but the loud, wild, affrighted cluck which brought all her brood at full run under her feathers made us l^ok again around and above us, when we saw that high up and far away there was a rapacious bird wheeling round and round and down -and down, and, not seeing .us as we stood in the shadow, it came rearer And lower until we saw its beak was •curved from base to tip and it had two flame* of Are for eyes and it was a hawk. But all the chickens were under old Domlnick's wings, and either the bird of ptoey caught a glimpse o i tu or, not able to And the brood huddled under her wing, darted b*cC into the ctoads. So Christ call* with great earnestness t o all the youiu*. Why, what is the wt tc r f II is urfglrt su»t%tt «a t 4 fitted

there can he no danger. Health is theirs. A good hom« is theirs. Plenty of food is theirs. Prospect of long life is theirs. But Christ con­tinues to call, calls with more em­phasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. Oh, do tell us what is'the matter. Ah, now I see; there are hawks of temptation in the air, there are vultures wheel­ing for theii prey, there are beaks of 'death ready to plunge, there ?.r« claws of allurement ready to clutch, 2\Tow J see the pt-.ril. Now I under* stand the" urgency. Now I see the only safety. Would that Christ might this day take our sons and daughters into his skelter, "as a hen gathereth. her chickens under her wing."

The fact is that the c o s t of them will never mind the shelter unless while they are chickens. It is a sim­ple matter of inexorable statistics that most of those who do not come to Christ in youth never come at ail. What cliance is there for the yoting without divine protection? There are the grogshops, there aro the gambling hells, there are the infideli­ties and immoralities of spiritualism, there are the bad books, there are the impurities, there are the busi­ness rascalities, and so numerous are these assailants that it is a wonder that honesty and virtue are not lost arts. The birds of prey, diurnal and nocturnal, of the natural world are ever on the alert. They are the as­sassins of the sky; they have varie­ties of taste. The eagle prefers the flesh of the living animal; the vulture prefers the carcass; the falcon kills with one stroke, while other styles

_of beak give prolongation « f torture.

But we all need the protecting wing1. _'If Jyjou had . known 'when you entered upon manhood or woman­hood what was ahead of you, would yon have dared to, undertake life? How much you have teen through! With most life has been a disappoint­ment. They tell me so. They hare not attained that which they expect­ed to attain. They have not had the physical and mental vigor they ex­pected or they have met with rebuffs which they did not anticipate. You arc not at 40 or 50 or 60 or TO or 80 years of age where you thought yon wouid be. I do not know any­one except myself to whom life a s t been a happy surprise. I never ex­pected anything, and so when any­thing came in the shape) *t human favor or comfortable jnaslUoa or wid­ening field of work H waa to me * •sur­prise. I was told ia the theological seminary by some of «sy fellow-stu-deets that I sever would get say* body to hear me preach unless I changed my style, so that when t found that some people did come to bear mo it was a happy surprise. But meet people, aueordiag to their own stetenerlt, have found life a dss-appointment. Indeed, we all steed shelter from Its tempests;

The wings of my text suggest warmth; and that is what most folks want. The fact is that this is a cold world whether you take It literally or figuratively] We have a big fireplace called the sun, aiwM; has a very hot flre, and the stokers keep tbe coals well stirred up, but much of the year we cannot get near enough to this fire­place to get warmed. The world's ex-

.tremities are cold all the time. For­get not that it is colder at the south pole than at the north pole and that the. arctic is. not so destructive as the jtn^aretic. Cmce lit,:awhile the arctic will'let explorers come back, but the antarctic bardlj' ever. When at the south pole a ship sails in, the door of ice is almost sure to be shut against its return. So life to many millions of people at the" south and many millions of people at the north is a prolonged shiver. But when I say that this Is a cold world ,1 chiefly mean figuratively. If you want to know what is the mean­ing of the ordinary term of receiving the "cold shoulder,** get out of money and try to borrow. The conversation may have been aliiu>st. tropical for lux­uriance of thought and speech, but sug­gest j'our necessities and see the ther­mometer drop to 50 degrees below zero* and in that which till a mordent before had been a M arm room. Take what is an unpopular position on some public question "and see your-friends fly as chaff before a windmill. As far as my­self is concerned, I have.no w<ord of complaint, but 1 look off day by day and see communities freezing out men and women of whom the world is not worthy. Now it takes after one and now after another. It becomes popular t o depreciate and def ariie and execrate and lie about some people. This is the best world I ever got into, but it is the meanest world that some.people ever got into. The worst thing that ever happened to. them was their cradle, and the best thing that will ever hap­pen to them will be their grave.

What people want is warmth. Many years ago a man was floating down on the ioc of the Merrimac, and great ef­forts were made to rescue him. Twice be got hold of a plank thrown to him and twice he slipped away from it, be­cause that end of the plank was cov­ered with ice, and he cried out: "For God's sake, give me the wooden end of the plank this time!" and, this done, he was hauled- to shore. The trouble is that in our efforts to save the soul there is too much coldness and icy formality, and so the imper­iled one slips off and floatpdown. Give it the other end of the plank; warmth of sympathy, warmth of kindly asso­ciation, warmth'of genial surround­ings. The world declines to give it and in many cases has no power to give it, and here is where Christ cornea in, and as on a cold day, the rain beat­ing and the atmosphere full of slee% the he* clucks bar chickens under her wfo£s snd the warmth of her «wa breast pots warmth into the wet feathers mud iaecfefeUed feet of the in­fant group of the bemyard, so Christ sr.ys to those sick and fronted sad etts*

"Come in out of the March winds of the world's criticism, come in out of the sleet of tbe world's assault, come in out of a world tiiat docs not under­stand you and d ^ s .jot want to under­stand you. I will comfort and i will soothe, Mid T will be your \*armth *»s a- hen £atb.«re*& he 7 chickens under her wing.' " Oh, the warm heart of Gov w ready for all those to waom the world has gi /en the cold shoulder.

But notice that some one must take the fctorm for %hi chickens. Ah, the hen takes the storm. I have watched her under the pelting rain. I have seen her In the pinching frosts. AJr\o?t, frozen to death or almost strangled iu the waters, and ".vhat a fight she makes for the you^g under wing if a dog or a hawk or a mar. come too near! And so the brooding Christ take* the storm for us.. What flood of anguish and tears chat did not dasb upon His boly*oul. What beak of torture did not pierce His vitals? What barking Cer­berus of hell was not let out upon Him from the kennels? Yes, the hen takes the storm for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. Once the tem­pest rose so suddenly the hen could not get with her young back from the new ground to the barn, and there she is under the fence half dead. And now the._rain_ turns to suow, and it & an awful night, and in the morning the whiteness about the gills and the beak down in the mad show that the mother is dead, and the young, ones come out and cannot understand why the mother does not scratch for them something to eat, and they walk over her wings and call with their tiny voices, but there is no .answering cluck. She took the storm for others and perished. Poor, thing! Self-sacri­ficing eves unto-deaih* And does it not make you think of Him who en­dured all for us? So the wings under whl-h wc come for spiritual safetyjsxe

blood spattered wings, are night-shad* j owed wings, are tempest-torn wings.

In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of i J Princess Elizabeth, who died while a

prisoner at Carisbrook castle, her fin­ger on an open Sible and pointing to the words: "Come unto l i e all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and Z will give you rest.** Oh, come vnder the wings.

Hy text has Its strongest applica­tion for people who were bora in the country, wherever y o a may now live, and that hi the majority of yo*. You cannot hear . my text without baring all the rustic scenes of tbe old farmhouse ceroe back to you. Good old days they were. Yo« kttow nothing much of the worid, for you had not seen the world, By taw of association you—cannot recall ' the brooding- hen and ber chickens with* out secla** also the barn and. the haymow and the wagoa shed aad tbe house aftd the room where you played and th* fireside with the bhj backlof before which you sat and the aajghbogs aad tbe burial and the wedding and the deep snowbanks and b*«* tfc* village ball that called you to worship and seeing the homes which, after pulling you to church, stood around tbe old nlapboarded meeting house and those who sat at either end of the church pew and. Indeed, all the scenes of your firs* 74 yMsrs. and you think of what you were *hffii *nd of what you are now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had better go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the cluck and see the outspriad feathers and come under the wirig and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing for everything: that may come and so a?oid being, classed among those described by the clos­ing words of my text, "as a hen jrath-ereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not." Ah, that throws the responsibility upon us. * Ye would not." Alas for the **would nots!" If the wandering broods of the farm heed not their mother's call; and risk the hawk and dare the freshet and expose themselves tb the frost and storm, surely their calamities are not I' the -mother's

fault. **Ye would not!" Ood would, but how many would not?

When a good man asked1 a joung woman who had abandoned her home and who was deploring her wretch­edness why she did not return, the reply was: "I dare not go home. My father is so provoked he would not receive me home." "Then," said tbe Christian man, "I will test this." And so he wrote to t h e father, aud the reply came back, and in a letter marked outside 4'Immediate,* and in­side saying: "Let her come at. once-all is forgiven." So God's invitation for you is marked "Immediate" on the outside, and inside is written; "He will abundantly pardon." Oh, ye wanderers from God and happi­ness and home and Heaven, come un­der the sheltering wing. A Vessel in the Bristol channel was n«aring the rocks called the Steep Holmes. Un­der the tempest the vessel was un­manageable, and the only hope was that the tide would change before she struck the rocks and went down, and so the captain stood on the deck, watch in hand. Captain and crew and passen­gers were pallid with terror. Taking another look at his watch and an­other look at the sea, he shouted: ••Thank God, we are saved 1 The tide has turned! One minute more and we would have struck the rocks tw

Some of you have been a long while drifting in the tempest of sin and sorrow and have been making for the breakers. Thank God, the tide has turned. Do you noi feel the lift of the billow? The grace of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to your soul, aad, in the words of Boas to Ruth, I command you to **the Lord Ood of Israel, under whose wings tnou hast come to trust.**

The Life Oa&rds are two regiments forming part of the British household troops.- They are gallant soldiers, and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the King's household, but yonrs, oars, everybody's should have its life guards The need of them Is especially great when tbe greatest foe of life, diseases, find allies In the very elements, as colds, influenza, catarrh.

"Oh, come on," coaxed Jake. "It's a fine day and Tim Monahan's going and Sally Paterson, too. What's the matter with you, anyhow?" Had it been anybody but Jake Old Slouch would bare had DO compunctions about

j borrowing, but ha did not care to bor-! row from Tilly's brother because— well, there were reasons. ,

At the men tion of Tim's name, howr i ever, Old Slouch pricked up his ears. j He shrewdly suspected that Tim was ! not far behind liim In his appreciation. ! of the good points of Jake's sister. I Moreover, he WAS Quite sure he could 1 borrow from Tim certain coin of the : realm. At length he decided to go, ; and Jake departed with an injunction ! to be sure and. meet the others at the : Long-Island City station atteii o'clock. j One cent for. a morning paper, five • tents for an elevated ticket, and three 'dents for a ferry ticket landed Old ; Slouch at Long Island City with 27 '< cents in his pocket. He had taken j good care not to be on hand first,in the* I hope that somebody might buy his j ticket. Alas for that bright hope! The first words that greeted him from the radiaat Sally were: •-••

"Oh, hf re you are at last. Jnst time j to get your ticket. Hurry up, now," j In vain he tried to catch Tim*s eye. JTim was too busy trying to catch j Sally's. So he rushed hopelessly to the I ticket office and, turning ht* back to j the others, ashed tbw man for a time table, which be thrust hurriedly into

( his pocket arid hastened after the reat, who h^d *<*i ted for the train.

Old Slouch Dilemma

There was once a youug fellovf who prided himself on being the champion lon#-di*tance author of the world- It Wftfc his proud boast that he had ence written two complete and hair raising novels of about 800,000 words eaeh within the space of six working days, and he was wont to aver with eonfir dance thai, he could repeat the per­formance with one hand tied behind h i m . '•

He was known to tens of thousands of youthful readers of red, yellow acd pink fiction as, "Old Slouch," and he wrote of strange and '.: weird happen­ings in strange and weird places in a manner yet more strange'and weird.

Old Slonch had started life as ai printer's "devil" in the office of the Fireside Reflector, but he was a m-

i bifious and soon became an office lxiy. Then he took to night school and made such progress in the three "B's" that

.-JjiiSwJBlture was recognized in due time by an advance to the position of,copy reader, in which capacity be wal, -. ailed upon to read several m*liioh words from the accomplished pen of "Cali­fornia Charlie," who was at that time the mahistay of the Action department of the Keflector.

His chance came one night when a messenger arrived in hot haste from the lodgings of "California Charlie" to report tbat the gifted author was un­able to finish the concluJ'.ng install­ment of his thrilling novelette en­titled: "Three-Fingered Steve; or. The Cowboy's Curse," for the reason that he was greatly incommoded by the presence in his room of three.pink-and-blue re bras with yellow polka dots and six old-gold lizards with purple tails.

The editor was in despair, for the Beflector must go to press in six; hours, until, the new copy reader volunteered to finish the story from the point where the lizards had so incontinently, interrupted it. This he was nllowed to do, and he accomplished his task with such success that when, a few months Jater, California Charlie's acquaint­anceship with reptiles and such land" ed him in the incurable ward the fn* ture Old Slouch stepped easily and gracefully into his place.

ProbofcilititK never hampered Old Slouch. What his reader* wanted were improbabilities, nor would tney are* balk at an occasional uniwaalbUity^ which was just ns WelL In the moat earceaainl of his work*, a tale of r r, man^e and adTentare entitled: "Wick­ed BUI; or, The E m t i o o * Hero of Bloody Gulda," the talented anther landed h^c.people on therookyalMtcs Of one of O i Pi jf island*, shVwreein*, •tarring, and def«eaei(!>aa. tip rushed a band of cmukOnie bent on a good meah DM they yet i t t "Overmy d**d body,- «aid Old Slouch to himself and .he.wrote; ,,.:"

"It ao chanced that out hero had once known a Fiji Islander in San Francisco and front him had learned the language of those parte, He there­fore addressed the lender of the band in the vernacular. Amaxeuent »*i zed the CBvagc cannibals. They dropped their cruel weapoas, grapped Bill's horny hand, and hailed him as a broth­er. 'They were saved!'?

But with assured success languor overtook Old Slouch. Only when he was peaniles& could he be induced to write, and* that was why he sat one May morning- with ai» feet,.,upon'1 the win­dow sill, looking out over the neigh­boring chimney potsy although he h<*d just received en tirgen t demand for the' first chapters of "Shivering Sara; or, the Couhterfeiter>s Stratagem." He had 36 cents in his pocket. Why should he toil? Why, indeed?

It was a t this moment that he had a, call from his friend Jake Jtosehthal, whose father ran a pawnshop around the corner. He often, took delight in inquiring ef the guileless-how it could be that Jake's father was his uncle, al­though he himself was not related to Jake. Jake had a holiday arid he was planning a sailing party; A friend of his had loaned him a cat boat that lay some few miles up the sound, and Jake and his sister were going to take a sail. Wouldn't Old Slouch join them? Old Slouch thought of the 36 cent* and guessed he'd better not.

They were ail laughing and chatter­ing light-heartedly, the V<*y, embodi­ment of good spirits. Poor Ohl Slonch felt very ismch downeaat«» he followed them through the gate. He thought of simulating a sudden iUpess, but he did no.t wart to frighten Tilly,'and then that scamp of a' Tha, wa# sticking so persistently to her side!

So he rattled hia'47'cents bravelyi& hia pocket aEd clambered . doggedly aboard the train. He «?en squandered two pretious nickels in the purchase of peanuts, forethought he, "2T cents are no more use to me than 7, Let me therefore cultivate a reputation for liberality/'

-While the rest were ehaitfsg withall the ebthusiasm of care-free youth Old Sloiwii'Tset^m^se^rabiy' trying to figure out some plan of campaign. If Wicked Bill had been in his shoes Old Slouch could have saved him without turning a hair. "At this critical "'juncture," he ivodld have written, "Bill anxiously thrust his hand into the pocket of hi* coat. His index finger, discovered a hole in the lining, and at the bottom of the aperturej he feK something flat and hard. Breathlessly our herb drew it forth. It w a s * twenty-dollar.-gold

..piece!"- . But fertile as Old Slouch was in re­

sources for the relief of suffering ban­dits and imprisoned and impoverished heroes, he was absolutely barren of in­vention in his own behr«Tf. So dis­turbed was he" that when the bright-eyed T,Hly turned from the attentive Tim and called to him across the aisle he answered her so absent-m;ndedly that she was piqued and turned again to Tim before he could repair his error.

"Ticket*!" said the conductor, sharply. The dreaded summons had conn? and found him still unprepared. Old Slouch began to fumble through his pockets. Everybody rise had the necessary pasteboard*, bnt Old Slouch still fumbled, getting redder and red­der every moment. The conductor looked at him with increasing stern­ness.

«1—er—I'm afraid," mnrainred Old Slouch, faintly, when his search had obviously become a farce, "I'm afraid I've lost my ticket."

"Didn't you drop it on the floor?" suggested Jake. All hands tcrutin-i*ed the floor. *

"Well, well!" said the conductor, im­patiently. "You'll have to pay your fare then."

"To be sure," said Old Slouch, mis* erably, and he felt for his 1? cents. "WeU, I dee^re,t, he exclaimed In wfell-simulaUd amazement, "1 haven't * * / money." ::,:: . " - "...

"What!" roared Tim. Had Old Slouch himself he would ha^e detected

aoatething very like eoaaterraticn ii\ hjts friend's tone. As It was, he saw only rfd&afr end he took a fatal step.

"That is to say," he went on. pull­ing himself together, "nothing but a $M>biil." "

"Oh!" said TUn, plainly relieved. -That's all right," said tha friendly

Jak*. "I'll pey it. Ear* 'yon are." Ana he gave the oonductox40eents.

Tim rose aod sauntered up the ask. "COM* and have a smoke?" he said

t© Old Slonch. The latter responded with alacrity. F*re was his opportan-lty «t last.•',;:Bn* ifs 'the door of the stnoker closed oa t^em Tim broke out: : "Say, old man, you nearly scared me

Into a fit. I had only esoagh ta b«i». my ticket one way, but I came along because I knew I could borrow a dol­lar or two from you."

Old Slouch collapsed. "I near fell on the floor," his tormentor went on,; "when you said you didn't have any coin, bMt when yon mentioned the fifty, why, I knew it was all right "

"But it aiii't," Old Slouch replied* weakly.

"jfo?" roared the other. "Not a cent/* said Old Slouch, huski­

ly. "I was going to borrow from you." **W(fcll," said Tim, when he had par­

tially recovered from the blow, "yotfll have to £ouch Jake,"

"Kither not,7 said Old Slouch, short­ly. "You do it."

"Bather not myself." Here the two looked in opposite direction*.

"One of us has got to," said Tim at !•**• '

"Match yo«i for it," from the dls-ringnished author. So they matched and Old Slouch lost.

It spoiled his day. Tilly ws» dis­posed to be nice to him, 'jut he was so taciturn, thinldag all the while of the unpleasant task that awai'ed him, that she turned In despair to Tim, who hud never been in better spirits In his life. It wi#> beautiful moon­light night and they planned to re-tnm to the dock in time to catch the j last trr.in for town, which left at ten o'clock.

They were about a mile from shore when the wind died out. They drifted idly for half an hour. Jake looked at his watch.

"We'll miss the train and have to stay all night at a hotel, if there is one in the place." Horrible visions of hotel bills crossed Old Slouch's mind. Then he had an inspiration.

"Let's row for it," he suggested. And row they did—rowed as they had never rowed before, he and Tim. The night v is irarm, and the two oarsmen were perspiring1 and breathless when the boat finally ran her nose on shore. At the same moment they heard the whistle of the approaching train. All hands ran for it and scrambled aboard Jnst as the train pulled out.

"All due to your splendid rowing," said the panting Tilly as sht- sank into her seat. "It was awful good work. I'll ask you both to my wedding for that." - "Wedding!" shouted Old Slouch and Tim in chorus.

"I'm to bs married to Mr. Jimmy Grenmtr in the fall," said the blushing maid'.

Silence fell upon the dowriesst ruifc ere—a silence deep and wide.

"Ticket*!" said the conductor; Old Slouch fled to the smoker in pur­

suit of Jake, He had no objection to borrowing from him BOW, Alasl-~4f. Y-Tfenea;*'' . ._ ,_ ; . _ ._ . . * . . . • :

It is related that on the last tots? of President"M^Kidtey in the south, An­drew Carnegie was in the party, *»d &U were sjk*d to attend a negro church in Thomfisville, Oa., where a 'very.fervid colored minister o«c4ased, says :pc Des Moines Leader.

It is said that whenever s Ullcsme in the services 1 he deacons took up a collection, hut through hospitable mo­tives avoided passing i he box to the white visitors. The old pastov roseat last and preached a sermon that wae at the same time eloquent, e»r»est and ridiculous—preaching Tight at the white folko-ejid his description of the poverty of the church was so imprea-siTe that when the deacons passed the contribution boxes around for the third time Mr: Oarnegie, intercepted one and dropped a $50 bill in the box.

The old preacher counted their con­tents. When he had finished he placed a handful ot'small-eh Rnge'"on one side and a crisp grenback on the other. Clearing his throat he said:

"Brcddero,, we has been greatly blessed by dish yer contebntion. We has heah fo' dollahs an' fo'ty cents dat is good, an' if de $50 hffl put in by de white gemmaB wid de gray whiskers is also good we is blessed a whole lot moah." And he looked suspiciously at the giver of libraries and campaign funds.

Grcrul Kapids, iiar-Ji 10.—Mrs. Wil­liam Ivlunip, ^sife of a well-known ar*d h'^fhly-respeoted citizei; ot t '.it? Yillag«: of Lo\v»;ll, 2'J miles eufet of hei'c, took a sample-headache powder a week ago. Soon after she was thrown into convul­sions uud die;! a few hours later. Sub­sequent iuvestig"atio/i showed that Mrs. Klun»pwas poisoned aiH that the powder she swallowed tromained a fa­tal quantity of strychnine or similar poison. Sheriff Chapman, of this, city, after an inquiry >uto the case, ex­presses his belief that the woman was murdered and a thorough investiga­tion is being mad^. Xo motive, how­ever," has yet developed. Mr. Kluiap says that he is unable to explain why any person should «aut his wife oat of the way, but the fact that the head-t\che powder was mailed to bis wife in Lowell has strengthened the murder theory. The powder was contained ia a small envelope bearing- the card of a Xew York firm of chemists. The en­velope was evidently addiessed by a woman- and there seems to have be«n. an effort to disguise the jKar.3writin<*. Several other persons in the village received similar packages containing powders. One af these, received by a Mrs. Miller, a neighbor of the Khsmps, was sent to this city for analysis* and the chemist who analyzed 't has re­ported to the prosecuting1 attorney that it contained poison.

After a dilig-en* inquiry into the circumstances of the case Sheriff Chapman took Kltiinp into custody and lodged him in jail here. The o » -cors express this belief, that Klump either sent the deadly powders through the mail himself or knew who did send them, and that the main object was the removal of M » . Klump. The theory,is that the dot* tored powders were s«bs*ltnt4d for the real headache and harmless pow­ders and .that they were sent to eer-eral persons in the village for the purpose of throwing the blame upon the manufacturers zt the beadaehe remedy and thro drrert ssapiciaa from the sender of the poison.

A motfte is fmsnd for the alleged crtnte in tfce «10117 that Slump was Infatuated with another woman, a widow, .whom, it is alleged, svlnmp had agreed to marry before h*' met and won the lore of the prctl^ U« year-old daughter of Mr, and •'%!•£.'' Watson, of Lowell. Slump haabeen married twice, and his first wife liven in LowelL It is claimed that the other woman in the case was the cause of hi* separation from his first wife.

Kftimp * » * interviewed at the jaiL Ke is about 33 years of age*s He de -clsred he iivaa entirely lnhoeen* pf the charge on .fj'hichjjl ^ws^HWei fcM- 'T'w" said he had ho.knowledge of what fhe alleged cample headache povrders contained or from whence they came,, He got, the envelope containing;!the powder addressed to his wife at the Lowell, post offic* with some other mail,' and brought• H to the house sup­posing it was an ordinary advertising sample. He deniecl the truth of the reports that he had been attentive to another woman, or that there wa? any reason for his ,wanting his wife out of the Way. Sheriff Chapman has received a telegram from Mrs. Hat tie; WriitfJeld, supposed to be the woman implicated in the case, and whose mother lives here. She wires that she has been in Chicago sinice Sept embsF;. and gave her address as 1584 Lexington street.-'" • •-*•''". ••• .-.

.Klump came to Grand Rapids, tw^ weeks ago and registered at a cheap, hotel as " E . White." OfEcers are making the rotmd of the drug stores to see if he bought, strychnine under that name, but have iipt.„ycfc found a clew . When arrested Klump liad 5166 on his person, and it i« the the­ory of the officers that he w as pre­paring to depart. He d,oes not ex* plain where the money : came from. His salary is $1.25 a day, but#he says his Wife had been saving.

Examination of the headache pow­der received by Mrs. Miller, who lives across the street from Klump's, indi­cates that it was a clear case of sub­stitution. The Flag Salt Remedy company does send out sample pow­ders, but they hava **, special label and are marked as samples. The en­velope received by Mrs. Miller, which was similar to that received by Mrs. Klump, bore the label of the regular dozen powder packages sold by the company to the trade. The label ap­parently had been torn from the reg­ular package and fastened to the loaded powders for the purpose of deceiving the victim and throwing off suspicion.

Centerville, March 10.—One of the most peculiar suils ever biough't in the St. Joseph county court has b *-;i start­ed by Dei Swartz, contio.ted in 1893 of the murder of his brother-in-law, Wil-lard Johnson, against' Deputy Sheriff Ralph Dock. The killing, which was a sensational affa;r, had an air of mys­tery about it_which made the case an unusually interesting one at the time of the trial. Suspicion p>ointed' to Swartz, but he put on a bold front and astonished the officers engaged on the case by offering a reward of $100, se­cured by A note ir. n. local bank, for evi­dence which would lead to the discov-e iy and conviction of the m«».a. Txho really killed Johnson. The trial came off, and Swartz was pronounced guilty and sentenced to state's prison. Dep-

»«ty Sheriff Dock had been the- officer who hau worked up the case, and, by general consent, the $100 was turned over to him. Xow Swartz, through his attorneys* has begun suit for the face of the note and interest at .seven per cent., which he alleges is due him.

St. Joseph. March 10.—The Wolver­ine sugar beet plant, the first sugar beet industry in the history, of the west to fail, went out of business in Benton Harbor. At the annual meeting of the stockholders it was voted'tosell the plant. In all probability the-ma­chinery will be moved away. 3fego,tia-tions are now on with five or six dif* ferent companies. Three.years ago the sugar beet factory was organized and its capita! of $200,000 was.ful ly paid in. The company contracted f«r a factory costing $300,000 and the pur­pose was to carry this indebtedness until it could be paK for from the cre­ation of a sinking fund. The first year the beet crop was rery poor. The fac­tory earned in bounty frota the state t&MMo, bat this was lost owing to the fact that the act was d«clare4r«beon-•tttatioaal. The second crop of beets proved to be not mneh better than the former year and the farmera refused to replant the beets for a third «ro».

CARL PICKERT * RECEIVER.

Independent Telephone.

l iarnueite, Xarch U.—A relfr of the hoary past has been discovered at Lake Gogebic. It ia a piece of tempered copper which had apparently been used aa a pick by the prehistoric peo­ple, who mined the red metal in the Lake Superior district. It was found a day'br two ago buried in hj« y*rd tyy

. A. w.Hargrave. Chickens in scratching the dirt had eiposeti one end of it. It is nearly two feet long. At one end it tapers down to a sharp point arid at the other the metal is sharpened like a spade. It is very hard and finely tempered—an excellent example of the ^st^art"—and an attempt to file it was futile. '•";.

Thin is all right, if you are too 6t ; and all wrong, if too thin already.

Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver o a . . „•;...'•••.

There are many causes of get­ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over­work and undetKligestion.

Stop over-work, if you can? but; whether you can or not, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can't live on it—true—but, by it, you can. There's a limit, however? you'll pay for it

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for "can't eat," unless it comes of your doing no work-you can't long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.

The genuine has this picture on It, take no other.

If you have not tried it, ftend for free sample, Its a-greeable taste will surprise you. SCOTT & BOWNE

Mr. Fiuukeit, who tor sixteen years has held the position of super­intendent of .our public schools, nas declined to accept the position for the coming year.

Mrs. Emmett, of Howell, was at the mercy of Mr. and Mrs. Plunkett during the meeting of the: Woman is. Christian Temperance TJnion of this ^district— -Tbis was a-very. large and .enthusiastic mat ing . JEx^eilent speakers, line papers and much dis­cussion made it a power in our tewn for good, and must have been a s inspiration to the many delegates that attended,, ' The . village election passed off harmoniously. 2\ot a very heavy vote polled, but the Republican ticket, with one exception, , was elected by majorities ranging from 31 to 131. The proposition to bond the village for $10,000 was carried by 33G for to 36 against. This will prob­ably give us a fine building for the village, one of the best carriage fac­tories in the state. The village Is to own the building and lease it to Mr. Pearl, who will pot in the ma­chinery

<»m« DaMmce Case.

Judge Sterling B. Money, of the cir­cuit court of Jefferson county, Ken­tucky, recently rendered an opinion in a curious case, says the » w York Trib­une. , A man was employed last July to aprinkta paris green on potato vines to kill lady bugs, and.cn account of the heat he opened his shirt irith the re­sult tbit he was poisoned by the paris green. He sued his employer, who en­tered a demurrer to the petition, and the /earned judge sustained the de­murrer for the following reasons. The plaintiff had no right in foro oon-' sciestiae or in foro externo to make an indecent exposure of his person •while killing- lady bugs; tne plaintiff exceeded the scope of his employment in sprinkling paris green• elsewhere tba'R'o'n the potato'tinea, as his special and exclusive agency "was' to kill lady bugs basking in the shade of said po-tota. vines; the plaintiffs act in allow­ing the defendant's paris green to come in contact with his flesh, instead of with the flesh of the lad.vbugs, was un­authorized and ultra vires; the mental and physical suffering of which the plaintiff complains was the result of his own wrong in misapplying1 the de­fendant's paris green to purposes oth­er than those for which he was em­ployed to apply ft, and, beaides, in damnum absque injuria; the plaintiff, in opening his clotbes and exposing himself to the lady bugs and the paris green, was guilty of contribntory neg­ligence; the plaintiff knew as well as the defendant that paris green waa poisonous, and, if he did not know that paris green was a poiscn, then this suit should not have been brought in his naaie, but by a committee appoint­ed to represent him.
