LICENSE VS.. LICENSE. AT the April term
cf III, County Court, MIR. e. F. Mccoy, who
for year past has been keeping house Of
mnblic entertainment at Hamilton depot, made
appcation for renewal Of his license to retail
ardent spirits. Strong opposition was brought
to bear against the granting of the same, by
residents of the neighborhood, aud the subject
was continued until the present term. Accord
ingly, the motion was again considered on
Mouday, McSsrs. r. Fl. Lee and Powell Harri-
sou appearing for the applicant, and Mr.. Henry
iIcaton for the opposition. As this was the
only licensed house for the sale of the ardent"
in the village of Hamilton, determined effort
was made to have it suppressed. a number Of
witnesses were summoned on both sides. and
the entire afternoon consumed in the hearing
Of testimony and the argument of counsel-thc
Court house the meanwhile being literally
crowded with curious spectators, without re-
gard to race, color or previous condition.,
eager to hear the end.
At the conclusion of the argument, Judge
Ball, declared that while in contests OF this sort
his Syupa,hies we're always on the moral side OF
aro, when tho law left it discretionary with the
Cuurt-now, the law was changed; the appll-
cant in this case filled every requirement con-
tcmplatcd by the PROVISIONS Of the laW,-he
was proven on both sides to be man of excel
lent character and Of the strictest sobriety aud
in the eye of the law the place was proper one
for the sale of liquor the Court therefore had
no discretion in the matter, and the license was
granted accordingly.
Upon the rendition of the decision slight
demonstration OF applause was attempted by
,plnc one in the house, which was promptly
stprpcd by the Court, and the crowd quietly
.l>pcrscd. -Louloun Mirror.

from work, espied the reflection of the
moon in pond, and took 1t for lump of
gold. One took off his boots and stock
ings, waded in, and tried to lay hold of
the glittering prize II was too deep for
his reach, so, seizing hold of his rake, he
began to rake the water, and persevered,
until a party of Somersetshire mowers
came along, and jeered him as "moon-
raker" Anxious to remove the slur of
stupidity from his countryman, Mr. Aker-
man ingeniously accounts for the opprobi-
GUS nickname in this way; "Piple zay as
how they gied tn neame o. wood-rakers to
we Wiltshire vauk, bekase passel o.
stupid bodies one night tried to rake the
shadow o. tn moon out o. tn bruk, and
tok't vor thin cheese. But that's tn
wrong end o. tn story. The chaps as was
doin o. this was smugglers, and they was
a-vishing up ZONE kegs o. sperits and
only pertended to rake out cheese. So
the exciseman as axed 'em the question
had his grin at 'em; but they had good
laugh at he, when 'em got whoame the
stuff" BY the way, has the saying, "The
moon is not made of green cheese" any
connection with the Wiltshire tradition,
or with that respecting the Niddletoni-
ans of Lancashire, who are reproached
with taking the moons shadow for a
Cheshire cheese, and trying to rake it out
of pit? We pause for reply, and shall
look for one in Notes and Queries

SWindling Extraordinary.

For a month or six weeks past series
Corporations have been carried on through
out Kankakee County of such magnitude
and brassiness as 20 entitle them TO the
front rank among the innumerable swim
dies of the day. There are six operators
at present, and their Vaccinations extend
throughout the State by successive cOun-
ties. Their peculiar manner of doing
business is offering cloths and dress mate
rials in packages of $3.50 each. They pick
their customers, only selecting such as are
abundantly able to liquidate all outstand-
ing obligations. Their notes are taken
and sold at one of the city banks, leaving
them nothing but actual cash on hand,
The contents of the packages consist of a
shawl or two-one Paisley (?)-silk, pop
lin, calico, alpaca, dress patterns, cassi-
meres, overcoats, and other articles for
wear. After the departure of the sharp
and voluble salesman, it Invariably turns
out that the goods lose great portion OF
their lustre, the cassimeres look woefully
like shoddy, and the duped purchaser
finds that he has very long-horned ele-
phant on his hands. But his note is out
and cannot well be recalled, and he is
therefore obliged to swallow the pill with
the best possible grace.
None but farmers are approached
The sales are simply enormous. In
Will County, their last field of operations
before entering Kankakee the sales were
$4,000. One man frequently sells $500
worth in a week.
If our farmers consult their interests
they will utterly refuse to have anything
to do with these alluring fellows. In
variably there is fraud in any transac
ton that offers six times the value of the
equivalent asked Don't touch them

Br GERALD MASSEY.
80 OFTEN Is the proud deed dono
BY men like this at Duty's call
SO many are the honors won
by them, we cannot wear them ALL
They make the heroic commonplace,
:. And dying thus the natural way:
Yet is our ld-wide English raceI
Ennobled by that death to-day
1t brings the thoughts that fathom things
To anchor fast where billows roll;
II stirs us with sense OF wings
That strive TO lift the earthest soul.
Love was new and life so sweet,
But at the call he left the wine
And eprang full-statured to his feet
Responsive TO the touch divine.
" Nay, dear, cannot see you die.
For me- IhdUe my p0rk TO do
Up here. Dorm TO The boat. G0Od-by
GOD bless you IShaU see u through"
We read until the vision dims
And browns; but, ere the pang be past,
A tide Of triumph overbrims
And breaks with light from heaven at last.
Thro' all the blaclness Of that night
"A glory streams from out the gloom;
His steadfast spirit holds the light
That shines till night Is overcome.
The sea will do its worst, and life
BE sObbed out in a bubbling breath;
But firmly In the coward stride
There stands man who hath vanquish'd Death
A soul that conquers wind and wave,
And towers above a sinking deck;
A bridge across the gaping grave
A rainbow rising DER the wreck
He saved others; saved the name
Unsucd that he gave his wife,
And dying with so pure an aim,
lie had no need to save his life
Lordl how they shame the life we lv
These sailors Of our sea-girt isle,
Who cheerily take what thou mayst give
And go down with heayenward smile
The men who theirl ives to yield
A glorious crop in lives TO be;
Who turn TO Englands harvest-fed
The fruitful furrows Of the sea-
With such breed Of men so brave,
The old land has not had her day;
But long, her strength, with crested wave,
Shall ride the seas, the proud old way.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

James r. Osgood & Co. have issued vol.
ume of poetry from the pen of Longfellow,
with what seems to US the inexpensive title
Of aftermath" The contents are a collec-
ton of tales, each recited by an individual
with interludes following them in order.
They relate to things, events and persons OF
long ago, simple stories, but over which the
skill of the poet casts charm. The peculiar
genius of Longfellow shines clearly in this
work, and the tales are SO adapted to popu-
lar comprehension that the book must find
many readers. j. F. Pierce has it for sale
Osgood Co. publish new poem, with the
title of white Rose and Red by the author
of est. Abe, which we fancy will please the
popular mind in no small degree. 1t is all
about the old subject, the flame called Love.
An uncultivated but we'll grown son of the
State of Maine, wanders away from his fami-
ly in the town Of "Drowsietown" into the for
est and falls in love with an Indian girl and
is married as Adam and Eve were. There he
wearies of her, leaves her. tramps back to
Drowsietown, where he weds white girl,
and where after time he is found by the In
dian maiden who followed him. 1t is pref
ty story, we'll told in melodicus verse, OF
which we have only given the faintest outline.
J. +. Pierce has it for sale.
Osgood < Co. have added to their very neat
Household Edition of Charles Reade's novels,
"A Simpleton, and the Wandering Heir. "
For the cost this is a very desirable form in
which to have this favorite authors works.
j. +. Pierce has it for sale.
O.good & Co. publish "The Fair God, or
The Last of the Tzins, by Lew Wallace, a
tale of the Conquest of Mexico. This is a
strange, fascinating, powerfully wrought nov
el, bringing before the reader the wonderful
people amongst whom the story is laid, and
the daring adventures who crushed them
out. 1t reproduces that civilization which
has puzzled the curious, vestiges of which
yet remain for the admiration and study Of
mankind. The story opens in 1919, in the
city Of the imperial residence of the Mont
ezumas, and closes with the repulse of Cortes
before the city of Tenochtitlan. J. f. Pierce
