Freezing Out.

The other night at TrucIce Cal, two young
men, visiting the same young lady, tried to
freeze each other out, or, in other words,
to see which would stay the longest. 1t sp-
pears that this is common amusement at
Truckce, AMI though perhaps pleasant to the
young men is somewhat expensive and annoy
ing to the old folks. The Republican tells the
story as follows:
The heads OF the family left the young peorle
alone at the proper time, and retired, ap-
parently tor the purpose of rest and sumber.
About midnight the young lady expressed a
desire to step out on the porch to see the moon
ana get the fresh air, and of course both of the
freezer" followed The door was closed
after them. While moon and star gazing tho
man OF the house steps unObserved into the
parior, aud distributes liberal supply of
shoemaker $ wax on two of the seats of the
cane b0ttomed chairS-those that the men had
vacated. This wax was Of the right consist
ency to serve the purpose in this case The
young lady on the porch, who was in the secret,
soon touni an excuse tor returning with her
admirers. The young men sank down again
INTO the reserved seats, and each redoubled
ms efforts to please the damSel, annoy his fell
low, and keep awake. About an hour passed
IN this way, by which time the wax, aided by
the warmth pressing down upon it, had be-
come thoroughly anna gamated with the Shoddy
VI Il3 pdulS-in lact, the Clne bottoms OF the
chairs, the wax AMI the pantaloons become a
sort OF inseprrable trinity. The time for the
crisis was close at hand. 1t came. Each one
OF the bachelors founl himself glued to his
seat, and no amount Of pulling and tugging
effected release If they arose the chairs
followed. At first they tried to Look upon the
matter as joke but after full half hours
struggle to tree themselves from their embar-
rasSlng predlcIm .nt they began to think they
had got INTO a serious scrape. The lady sug-
gested that they build up a rOusing fire in ths
stove, and then, each man backing up as near
the heat as possible. ''melt the darned stuff
off, as she said. This method was tried, but
dldu WORK, as with the chairs fastened to
them they c1u!dn get near enough to the fire.
After they had sweat in the heated room for
about an b0ur to no purpose, the wax retaining
It's relentless grip and connection, they saw no
other way O2t OF their awkward dilemma ex-
cept to engage in surgical operation. 1t was
getting along toward morning, and daylight
was near at hand. They realized that what
ever was to be done must be done quickly.
Their jack-knIveS were brought into requistion,
and III a few minutes each follow was released
from his uncomfortable position They left the
young lady and the house in hasty and uncer-
monlous manner with a caae patch on the
rear OF their unmentonabes about the size of
a full moon. Freeze-Out games are not as
popular as they were.

When the Senate Of Florida met on Monday,
no quorum was present, all tho Republican
members absenting themselves, to prevent any
of their number from being unssated. The
Sergeant alarms, with temporary assistants,
went in search of the absentees. In making
arrests, one of the assistants was fired on by
Senator Parlin, of Pensacola, who alleges that
he was first shot at by the assistant. Three
shots were fired, but no one was wounded.
The matter was reported to the Senate, and
n resolution was offered calling on Governor
Stearns to furnish military to compel the
presence of the absentses, but it was rejected
by vote Of 4 to 3, and a committee was ap'
pointed to investigate the matter. Ballotlpg

WARMERS A story is told of little child
who having slipped on the sidewalk one frosty
morning, stood and kept guard over the spot,
warning all passers-Ly of the danger; and
doubt much if there were any who did not heed
his advice
And yet there are thousands of good men
standing by every dangerous spot in the path
way of life, warning the inexperienced of the
dangers Of the way, aud many are they who
with self-conceit almost unimaginable, pass
on with scornfu laugh. and repent too late
Or perhaps, although the danger of the
place be great, they may not fall they pass
on to where another Good Samaritan is wait
ing to advise them having gathered bravado,
they pass on with a sneer as much as to say,
"Oh how weak are they who have fallen |
am strong, can keep my balance" but sooner
or later they will fall. 1t is inevitable and
the longer they continue this course the greater
will be the shock and the more complete the
destruction.
The little boy had his reward in seeing peo.
pie act upon his advice but those whole souled
generous men who are laboring for the good Of
una ppreciating fellow beings, seldom have this
satisfaction. Yet let them work patiently and
we'll for they shall have their reward in the
great hereafter as surely as those who heed
them not shall be punised. ed.-1almGge

Our Common, everyday Sun is so familiar
to us that it is doubtful whether we can, even
by the aid of imagination, appreciate the
benefits he eonters upon us. The Officers and
crew of the Germania, one of the ships of the
recent German Arctic expedition, had an
experience in Greenland which will probably
give them higher regard for the sun than
they had before they started on their perilous
voyage. They sought a winter harbor at
Sabine Island, in a small bay on the coast OF
Greenland, and after mig t lasting for three
months, they looked out on the 81 of February
and anxiousy awaited the rising of the sun.
The southern horizon was almost clear, the
few clouds floating there being brilliantly
lighted by the suns rays. Minute by minute
the colOring of sky and clouds grew brighter,
until the dazzling light forced the men to shade
their eyes anl partially hide from view the
unaccustomed sight. The sun, however, re-
mained above the horizon for only short
time, but it was the harbinger Of longer days
and a promise to the ice-bound sailors that the
hour of their delverance was drawing near
1t is the old story that was told by Dr. Kane
and other Arctic explorers, but it is none the
less interesting and instructive. Humanity is
too apt to forget the manifold blessing spread
before them day after day and year after year,
not to learn something from reading of the Joy
with which an artic navigator greets such a
commonplace phenomenon as sunrlse.-Ledger.

We are much gratifed to see that the Jubilee
exercises are performed by such large numbers
and go edifyingly. We repeat that the Holy
Father has given to pastors of sonls permission
to dispense from the visits of churches when
in their judgment such dispensation is neces-
sary and proper. When persons cannot visit
four churches, let them visit one or two; and
whom, from old age, infrmity, or other causes,
they cannot visit any, they can say the prayers
prescribed or recommended in their own rooms
or before their crucifx. These prayers are, IL
they please, the Litany of the Saints but of
obligation, five times the Our Father and Hail
Mary, for the intention of the Pope This is
for the peace and prosperity of the Catholic
Church, the conversion of all who are in error
among all Christian States and people. But
the first and principal condition is the making,
with heartfelt contTition for sin and love for
God, good confession and communion.
