very sad case. A few weeks since, an s.
year-old son of Mr. j. w. Clarson went to
the depot to meet his father, who was ex-
pected from Chicago, Mr. Clarson did

the dead body of his father in the coffin,
and hurried home to state his fears to his
mother. The mother did all she could to
convince the boy to the contrary, but his
nerves had received such a shock that he
could not recover, and he died in few
days.

AN eminent journalist in Kalamazoo,
Mich, declared in his paper that rival
editor had seven toes The rival editor
thereupon came out in double-leaded

A FEW evenings ago a gentleman, be-
longing to city firm doing large bust
ness was sitting alone in the counting
room, when his mind turned aside from
the rugged track of business, and saun-
tered luxuriously away into the flowery
walks of love. He resolved to write a
letter to his hearts IDOL" as he called

of the utmost importance, but it is on

them of size to secure economy in cal
