The EATON DEMOCRAT came out
last week with the biggest kind OF a
home made rooster at the head OF its
columns. The accompanying legend
may be very expressive, but it doesn't
speak well for the religious training
of the editor, and that particular
number of the paper will probably
not be regarded as good Sunday
School literature.-New Paris ANA
teur.
We received the bulliest kind of
religious training in the old Presby-
teriap school, my young friend, and
they generally spoke very expressive
and meant what they said, but in
these days of christian Beacherism,
the old style no doubt, CRATES very
harshly upon good sensitive souls
Didn't intend you should take the
paper to your Sunday School-the
good old Bible is the kind suited to
amateurs. Don't make a mistake.

Chattanooga and the
Usury Law.

The Times says the borrower
and the lender go together into
Georgia, where the law permits
interest to be contracted for II
per cent. The lender pays over
the borrower the money, the
borrower executes and delivers
then and there his note payable
at some bank in Georgia.
This is said to be in law a Geor-
gia contract. The location of
Chattanooga Sin the eye of
Georgia." gives us a business
advantage over Nashville,
Knoxville and other localities
in Tennessee, which will ena-
BILE our merchants and manu-
facturers to compete with the
Yankee State of Georgia, which
has, by repeating the usury
laws several years since, dotted
the surface with live men run
ming live manufactures.

THE BABY AT SCHOOL
The baby has gone to school, ah mel
What will the mother do,
With never call to button, or pin,
Or tie little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy day by
day,
With her little "hindering thing" away.
Another basket to fill with lunch,
Another "good-by" to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with sigh that is half relief
And half, something akin to grief.
She thinks of possible future morn
When the children, one by one,
Will go from their home out into the world
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby left to cheer
The desolate home of the future year.
She picks up the garments here and there,
Thrown down in careless haste;
And tries to think how it would seem
If nothing were displaced;
If the house was always still as this.
How could she bear its loneliness?
But mothers have no time to dream
Of future griefs or joys;
She's very sure that night will bring
Home hungry girls and boys,
So casting useless fears away,
She labors cheerfully all day.

An Obstinate Conscript.

The fear of military service
in France often leads conscripts
to employ various ingenious de-
vices to escape from their tolls.
A conscript not long ago, ac-
cording to one Of the French
papers, feigned paralysis of the
right arm. After all other
means were exhausted to ex-
pose the fraud, it was proposed
to amputate the useless limb, in
the hope that rather than be
manned for life the malinger
would confess that he was
shamming. He was according
ly conducted to the operating
room, where there was made an
imposing display of the requis-
ite Instruments. The tourni-
quet was applied, the knife was
in the hand of the surgeon but
still the conscript did not finch;
andit became necessary to in
vent some excuse for not pro-
ceeding with the amputatiOn.
This was done by directing his
removal to a neighboring hos
pital. To get there a river had
to be crossed, and it was ar
ranged with the attendant that
at given signal the conscript
should be pitched into the riv-
er. The scheme was carried
out, and the unfortunate con-
script suddenly found himself
compelled eitherto sink or swim.
For some time he managed to
keep himself above water with
his left arm; but at last he gave
in, and struck out manfully with
his right arm to save his life.

A Remarkable Dream.

An extraordinary story is rela-
ted concerning a butcher living
in Franklin, Mass. Early one
morning he went to inspect his
ice-chest, but suddenly the door
swung to, and the spring-lock
fastened. The man found him
self prisoner in a very small
room, of icy temperature, and
with no means of escape. All
efforts to make himself heard
were in vain. Strange to say
SO the story goes-the butchers
son dreamed a dream during the
night, and awoke deeply inn
pressed with it. He dreamed
that his father had been suffoca-
ted in the ice-chest. Not finding
his father in the morning, he
Immediately went to the ice
chest, unlocked it, and discov-
cred the apparently dead body
of his father. Some hours
elapsed before the unfortunate
prisoner was restored to con-
sciousness,

Remembering the Man
Who Loved Her.

From the HoughtOn Mining Gazette.
Harry Odgers, a miner from
Truro, Cornwall, England, ar
rived in Michigan about five
years ago. AT home he loved
the only daughter of an inn
keeper, to whom he proposed
marriage, but was rejected
Two years ago Harry, who was
employed at the Delaware mine,
met with an accident by which
he lost his. eyesight. The news
of his terrible misfortune didn't
reach the ears of his Truro
sweetheart until recently. She
thought of the man who once
told her he loved her, and her
woman's heart softened. She
wrote to a friend in Keweenaw
county, and in. time got a histo-
ry of his condition and the sad
plight he was in on the distant
shore of Lake Superior. The
other evening quiet little wo-
man arrived on the stage from
DAnse, and before many hours
she was at the house where the
blind and MANNED miner was.
She had come to take Harry
back to England, without any
fuss or noise, and if he'll allow
her, she intends to care for him
as his wife the rest of his DAYS.

FEASTING AT FUNERALs.-The
Lebanon NeacS says In no 9th.
er part OF Pennsylvania, probably,
is the "leasting at funerals" carried
to such an extent as IN Lebanon
county. We frequently read &C
counts in the Lebanon papers of
four or five hundred persons TAX
ing dinner with bereaved families
on such occasions, and as the
horses are fed also, the feastiIg
and entertainment expenses OF a
first class Lebanon county funeral
must be considerable--say $3.50
to $500. Really, it is not every
person, in hard times like the
present, that can afford to die, il
their substance is to be eaten up
in this way.
