/ d.. a N2SlVli6 HAL was GAlkllS,
| Sunday, about buying books. Said he: 81
don't have any particular desire to collect a
| library. The fact is, don't know what
sort of man may step into my shoes when
Pm gone. He may have quite different lit
erary tastes to what l have, and would
probably rather have the cost oft books
| in money, and don't want to do anything
TO hurt his feelings, or to lower myself in
his estimation" Was ever a man more
| thoughtful or cousiderate?
| Abou the jolliest set of little smokes"
| in the town are the newsboys. I ese lit
| tie larks are doing lively business, and
! when they are not filling their pockets with
nickels selling The Banner, they are an IS
ing themselves by frightening "rural roost-
ers" with bugaboo stories about the health
of the placs. -Bdnner.-And they do say
| that those boys don't spend much of their
time in frightening rural ROSTERS"
either, they are kept so uery busy "6lling
| their pockets with nickels selling the Ban
ner." 1t is well knoRn fact that the en-
tire force of Banner newspaper boys ''laid
| off, one day last week, in order to have salt
| sacks sewed in their trowsers, in place of
the pockets they had been using, and even
these have been fo,iDd hardly sufficient to
| hold the wealth that is now rolling in upon
| them. 1t is one OF the most pleasant and
exh lsrsting sights in the world to see
these young men trudgiDg homeward after
having disposed of their stock each morn
| ing, with their salt sacks packed full of
nickels, which they jingle musically as they
walk along.
The following cheerful letter from Wood

The Lou sville Commercial is disposed
TO grumble and find fault: "The Associated
Press agent at Columbus, Ohio, is All in
dnstrious young man, and his dispatches
always have the smack of live news. For
instance, he SO t us yesterday thu startling
announcement that German shoemaker
in that city hid been struck dead with
paralysis while sitting on his bench. Now,
II tho xunrfhu shnam q bar had sfr
alive while sitting on bis paralysis, or if the
shoemsker'S bench had struck the paralysis
dead, or if the paralysis had strnck the As
ISOLATED Press agent dead, it might have
been interesting to the Southern press As
in was, we could hardly fell very keen
interest in the announcement. Will some
one be kid enough to send Us the young
mans name? very desirable situation
as clerk to a respectable huckstef awaits
him."
But very slim congregations were seen
at our churches Sunday, tbs fact that a
large number of our citizens had left town,
being made painfully apparent. 1t was
noticed, however, that those who were in
attendance listened to The sermon with an
unusual degree of attention, and also that
the services were more solemn and impress
sive than at ordinary times.

The Athen6ml thinks American humor
''the most genuine in the world" And the
"AtbeRBlnn" is right.
One of the volumes of the season will be
"Lite in Danbury," ''being brief, but COM
prehensive record of the doings of re-
markable people under remarkable circum-
stances, and chronicled in most remarks-
bic manner, by James Montg merry Bailey,
and carefully compiled with pair of S.
shears by the compiler"
The paragrsphist of the st, Louis Jour
nal, perver.s The morals of thai city by the
publication of parag apis like the follow
ing: "The cruel Inconsistency Of woman is
shown in q statement by the Mining Jour
nal, to the effect that Humboldt (Mich.) |
girl broke OFF an engagement because her
lover wore paper collars, while at the same
time, report says, she wore garters torn
from an old pillO" ship"
The military school having taken a Vacs-
ton, a large number of students departed |
for home yesterday, neatly, but not gaudily |
attired in linen busters. To the patriotic |
and cOntenIplative mind, there are few |
sights more agreeable, or suggestive than |
That of lot of embryo warriors quietly |
