THE MAN WHO DOESN'T READ.-Here
is a well-drawn picture of the man who
don't read: 'sThe man who doesn't read
is always prating about how things used
to was He is knowing fellow, full Of
worn out truisms. He is a rich and in
exhaustible mine for every sharper who
travels on his wits, selling poor clothes
Mt high prices, or an expired patent right.
The man who doesn't read has q very
large disgust for new tangled things"
and believes in his children getting along
as he did, and boasts that he never went
to school but two quarters We like this
sort of men, there ought to be one in ev-
cry community, just for the benefit they
are as an example for the parents who
do believe they owe something more to
their families themselves, than to be
mere dull, brutal machines. The man
who doesn't read usually has amission-
1t is to grow corn and pork, and pay
taxes, or work through the week at his
bench or forge as q machine. His home
Is place to eat and sleep, his life round
of drudgery, a struggle only for bread
and butter. The man who doesn't read
falls behind the age in which he lives
drops into the narrow groove of his per-
sonal observation, and declares the pro-
gress arc und him to be departures from
the virtues and goodness of bygone
times. Every day has superstitious
sign, every change of the moon, every
sudden variation in the weather, fills
him with prophecy which BODIES every
body i'll luck. The man who does not
read misjudges the common natural laws
of matter, the easily explained changes
of vegetable and animal life are subjects
for superstition, dread and trouble. The
great progress of the world in literature,
science and art, the news of the day at
home and abroad, are blanks to the man
who does not read.

On Saturday last Mrs. Mary Menech-
talk, a Bohemian woman, who lived
about five miles south of here, was crush
ed to death by the falling of tree. She
and her daughter, girl about fourteen
years of age, were telling tree, and
when it commenced to topple the woman
started to run, but was caught by some
of the lower branches and thrown to the
ground, under the tree. She was imme-
tliately removed to the house, where it
was found that both her legs, one arm
and several bones were broken. Her in
juries were so severe that she lived but
an hour after.

Tom. REID soliloquizes thus in the
Menasha Press: A physician in re-
cent work of physiology remarks that it
sis estimated that the bones of every
adult person are required to be fed with
lime enough to make nantel-piece ev-
cry eight months. . 1t will be perceived,
therefore, that in the course of about ten
years each of us eat three or four man
tie pieces and few sets of French door
steps, and in a long life, we suppose, it
is fair to estimate that healthy man
could devour the Capitol and perhaps
two or three medium sized quarries be-
sides. It is awful to think of the conse-
quences if a man should be shut off from
his supply OF lime for awhile and then
get loose in a cemetery An ordinary
tombstone would be hardly lunch for
him

Presbyterian Church, held by the ladies
of the congregation, proved very agree
able and successful in all respects. The

mirth of the younger ones. The appear
ance Of General Waslington's (White)
epaulets, sword, and three -cornered hat,
and of the renowned DIR. Franklin Gas
tom was very gratifying surprise that
all enjoyed, and the speeches of these
venerable mon that have come down to
us from former generation" We're rich

TWEED, says The Graphic, will live
like fallen prince at his old quarters in
Ludlow street Jail There are people
in this city who would pay his board at
Delmonico's sooner than have him tell
what he knows, and the easiest way to
keep his tongue from wagging is to keep
his mouth well filed with juicy tender
loins and other things.

PRoMPTrrUoE OF NEWSPAPER DEBT
oas.-Last week man stepped up to us
and said he would pay us every cent he
owed, if he lived till Saturday night; we
presume that man died. An other said
| he would settle his bill as sure as shoot
| ing we are led to the conclusion that
shooting is decidedly uncertain. Quite
a number said they would see us to-mor-
row those men have been blind ever
since, or else tomorrow has not come.
One man told us six months ago that he
would pay us as soon as he got some
| money that man would not lie, and of
course has not had q cent since. Last
year we stopped one mans paper who
| owed six dollars. He was serving the
public, and we met him while in dis
| charge of his duties. He averred that
as soon as he got through and received
his pay he would make it all right, he
would, indeed. He told us the same
| story this spring, and we presume he is
still assessing. Another came all the way.
i've miles, to town to assure us thai he
| was all right, and that we need not be
afraid. He would have some money
soon, and would pay-yes, he would.
Some time later we s'saw'' his money at
q distance. He was putting it in bank.
1t was the last and only glimpse we had
of it. He never had Ratchet and ran
around hacking cherry trees, or they
| would have died without knowing who
killed them. Another would pay us af-
ter sheep shearing. His sheep are long
woods, and it takes long while for the
! wool to mature. Another would pay af-
ter wheat harvest, but his wheat, like
the century plant, is of slow growth and
don't ripen often. Another had poor
health, but was improving. He would
get around soon, and raise some money
and pay US. He has had relapse, for
though he cats hearty and works hard,
he don't get ''round'' worth cent. We
would have some hopes of getting even
with such folks some day, when an adj
ministrator is appointed, if they had
anything to administer on.-Er.
NoTIcE.-To those who may think of
buying sewing machine we would say
that there are spurious machines being
offered for sale as our make, by parties
having no connection with us whatever.
And others are trying to sell old ma
chimes that have been only rejapanned
and are made to took like new, for our
7aea0 and latest style. The demand for
Singers over all other kinds induce some
men to allow a large price in exchange
for the kind they may sell, SO rs to get
the Singer head from parties having had
them ten or fifteen years. They take
this head, rejapan it, put on nice look
ing but inferior wood work, and offer
this bogus article for new machine.
This is an injustice to you, and as you
may not know of this consequently will
not be satisfied when the old made to
look like ,ee,O machine plays out, and
may think we are to blame. We take
this opportunity to warn you of being
humbugged, as we can only be response
BILE for machines bought from our law
full agents. Mr.. John A. Smith is our
only authorized agent for Manitowoc
and Kewaunee counties.

Congressional.

From present indications. the
business Of the House is so Tar adj
vanced that everything can be read
lis disposed of by June 10, and the
first session Of the Forty fourth
Congress can end on that day
The Appropriation Committee only
awaits the revised estimates Of the
secretary Of War, that favor having
been asked by Secretary Taft, and
the preparation Of the sundFy Civil
bin, which IS necessarily the last
appropriation bill prepared, and us
ually known as the Omnibus bill
OF course the threatened deadlock
ia the Senate must be taken into
consideration, but if the Senate be-
haves Itself there is no reason why
Congress should not adjourn by
the middle of June.-Anserican
In the house Mr.. Wood, Of Mis-
sissippi, asked leave, which was OBJ
jccted to, to offer a resolution autho-
rising the issue Of five hundred
thousand rations to sufferers by the
overflow Of that State. A bill was
introduced and referred % aut horise
the coinage Of twenty-five millions
additional Of silver to be used in
the ordinary disbursements Of the
treasury. The senate was engaged
on the Belknap impeachment, the
session closing without result or
important feature
It was a graceful act, says the
New York Tribune, the resolution
introduced by Mr.. Lamar, advoca-
ted by Messrs. Blaine and Hoar,
and passed unanimously By
the house, resembling the cen
sure Of the last session recorded
against John Yong Brown. In
fact, the whole trouble arose from a
hasty ebulition Of temper on the
part Of Mr. Brown. and bis IN
willingness at the time to make the
needful apology.
