skating merrily on the river near Omro,

opposite bank. 1t was only q girl--a coy,
rosy, slender girl. She went up to the
young scapegrace, and Selling him by the
collar dumped him upon the ice. She
handled him as she would feather dust

cutfed his ears till he roared for help. She
dragged him along the ice and rolled him
into snow bank. She also said something.
She remarked that if he ever troubled
them again there would be coroner's in

A few months ago all elegantly dressed
woman, the wife of a rich merchant, was
SO drunk in Baltimore street that she
could not stand. and policeman arrested
her. Her husband secured her release, and
the incident was made secret. She prom
ised never to drink Intoxicating liquor
again. Lately she was found lying drunk
in a gutter. and this time the husband
would do nothing to hide her shame. She
was publicly fined in police court, and
discarded by her family. Yet how many
wives endure year after year, the disgrace
of a drunken husband, even when it infiicts
upon them safferings and anguish which

made to suffer through his wife-the mis-
cries of homelessness and starvation

A nice set of false teeth was washed up on the
beach at Cape May, where the ladies battle, the
other day, and up to date, singllarly enough,
they remain in the hands of the blushing hotel
clerk without claimant, albeit this is case
where the finder is enriched not and the loser
made poor indeed. 1t is supposed that the lady
was suddenly summoned home by an unexpect-
cd telegram, wearing heavy veil, as if travel

Hayford Block, No. 3.

And voters growl like earthquakes mutfed shock,

They find the style to suit the ballroom floor,

They show both common sense and knowledge

The Old Deacon's Lament.
BY Mrs. L. I. CORBErI

Yes, I've been deacon Of our church
Nigh on to fifty year,
Walked i'll the way OF dooty, too,
And kept my conscience clear.
I've watched the children CROWN up,
Seen brown locks turnin' gray,
But never saw sech don's yet
A those Eve seen TO day.
The church was built by godly men
TO glorty the Lord,
In seventeen hundred eighty eight;
Folks couldn't then afford
Carpets and cushings and sech like
The seats were just plain wood
Too narrcr for the sleepy ones;
In prayer we allus stood.
And when the hymns were given out
tell you it was grand
To hear our leader start the tunes,
With tunin' fork in hand!
Then good old "China," "Mear," and All.
Were heard on Sabbath days,
And men and women, boys and girls,
lined in the song of praise.
But that old pulpit was my pride
jest eight feet from the ground
They d reared it UPON either side
narreT stairs went down.
The front and ends were fifty carved
With Scripter stories all
Findin' Of Moses, jacobs dream,
And sinful Adams fall.
Jest room inside to put cheer,
The Bible on the ledge
(l'll own did get narvOus when
He showed it to the edge.
There, week by week, the parson stood
The Scripter to eXpound;
There, man and boy, I've sot below,
And not fault was found
OF course I've seen great changes made,
And fought agenst em too,
Bat first choir was interdo0ced,
Then cushings in each pew;
Next, boughten carpet for the floor;
And them that very year,
We got our new melodeon,
And the big shandyleer.
Well, WE'LL | tried TO keep things straight

And voted ''No" 10 all they said,
