SOMETHING IN HI BED.

Judge Pitman has a habit Of slip
ping his watch under his pillow
when he goes to bed. The other
night somehow it slipped dow, and,
as the Judge a restless,it gradual
~ worked its way downward tow
ard the foot Of the bed. After i bit,
while he w~aslyin9 awake, he touch
ed ii, and 1t felt very cold. lie was
surprised and scared, and, jumping
from bed he said:
By gracious, Maria! there's toad
or snake or something under the
covers. | touched it with my foot.
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream,
and was out Oh the floor in an III
slant.
Now don't 60 to hollering and
waking mp the mcighbors, said the
Judge. You 90 and get me 4 broom
or something, and we'll fix the thing
mighty quick.
Mrs. Putnam got the broom and
gave it to the Judge, with the re
mark that she felt as if snakes were
creeping all up and down her legs
and back. :
o, nonescnsI Mari,A New you
turn down the covers slowly while
| hold the broom and bang it. Put Il
bucket of water alongside the bed,
too, SOS we can shove it in and
drown it.
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom uplifted, and
as soon as the black ribbon Of the
watch was revealed he cracked
away three or four times with his
broom. Then he pushed the thing
Of into the bucket. Then they took
the bucket to the light to investig-
ate the matter. When the Judge saw
what it was: he said:
might have known that. Just
like you women, to go searching and
fussing about nothing. Who's going
to pay me for that watch It,
utterly ruined.
It was you that made the fuss,
not me. said Mrs. 7. You needn't tr>-
to put the blame Oft OF me.
q, hnsh up and 60 to bed, I'm
tired Of hearing you biatlier, Blame
me if | amt going TO get a divorce
and emigrAfe.

We ire told tlattl the recent rail

We are told that the recent rail
road strike was caused by the ant
agonism Of labor and capital. There
is no doubt that the sOuIlcss rail
waycorporations have oppressedthe
laboring men in their employ, until
actual starvation was left them. This
oppressiOn vas not the result of the
inlnumanity of the railway managers.
The shrinkage OF values and the
competition in freights, have made
it necessary for the railroads to re.
duce expenses to the very lowest
limit, in order to pay any dividends
on the stock. The trouble lies be-
yond the present difficulty, and its
causes are beyond the control OF

COURTESY TO CHILDREN.

~80nne wise person suggested as a
Sovereign remedy for the uncomfort-
ablcness of What we are wont to call
the awkward age of boys and girls
that time when they are too large to
feel like cinld.en, and are not quite
sure enough of themselves to feel like
adults-that we should always treat
the smallest children with the cour-
tesy and consideration that we show
to grown-up people; and thent hey
will never feel at a loss as to their
+. reception, thus quite escaping the
uncertain and uncomfortable "awk-
ward age" There are few things
more important than self-respect.
But how is a child to learn to res
pect itself, if it sees that it is alone
in the sentiment?-that by no one
else it is respected? More harm is,
perhaps, done children by snnbbing
them than even BY weak indulgence.
We have seen homes where the
slightest expression Of child's idea
on any point under discussion was
greeted with, "\Vho asked you what
you thoughtw or with sarcasm, such
as "Ah, now we shall have the mat.
ter settled; Miss Experience is free
ing her mind"
1t is so difficult to hit the right
mean. OF course we do not want our
children troublesome to visitors;
srown-up people do not want to
pause in their talk to listen to the
nnconsidered opinions of thirteen;
but what if we tried the experiment
of resnectful attention for awhile 3?
Would not the little folks sop tai
king until they had something to
say, quite as surely if they say that
their words were listened to
with attention, as if they felt
that their voices were but beat
ing the air? At any rate,
by being kind and courteous to them
on all occasions, it will not be diff
cnlt to teach them when to talk
and when to hold their tongues.

operating the road until Friday next

this afternoon on n SPECIAL engine and
had the body, thought to be the remains
of z. +. Bliss, disinterred. The body IS

of man about FIVE feet eight
inches IN height, thick set, and
in appearance German. Both
MIR. Stager and Whittle are confident,
from personal experience at Ashtabuls
in searching for bodies, that it is eH'
tremely improbable, if not impossible,
that any of the bodies from the wreck
could have passed under the ice and down
the creek to the lake. and unite in send
ing this message to assure friends OF those
lost al Ashtabuls that In their judgment
no more bodies are TO be found.

WHAT THE WAR IL ABOUT.

In order TO understand the real object
of the war which Russia has declared
against Turkey, the reader will need to
take look at q map OF that portion OF
Europe and Asia. Russia Is va't
country, extending from the Arctic
Ocean to the Black Sea. Notwithstand-
ing she covers ono.seventh OF the habiia
BILE territory of the globe, Russian COM
merce is hedged in on the north and
west, one-halt of the year, by ice, and Is
hampered, on the south, by Turkish
rule. She cannot get to the Mediter-
rsnesn ard thence to the ports of the
world, except through Turkish territory.
The control OF the Bdsphorus by Turkey
is to Russia, what the control OF the
mouth of the Mississippi by hostile
nation would be to the United States.
Russia wants an unobstructed outlet 10
the sea, such as we have to the Cult.
And she will never cease the contest
until she sccomplishes it. She tried TO
gain this end in 1926, and again in 1857,
nv what was known Ms the CrimmesE
war. Both times she failed; and she
msv fail again in 1877; but it is her
destiny to win IN the end.

SIIELvE HIM.

MOVES. of Ohio, who has been appoint.
cd Minister to France, was leading
instrument in stealing the vote
of Florida from Governor TILDEE.
We hope there Is self-respect and party
loyalty among the Democrats of the Sem
ate to shelve NoYEs, if they have the
votes to DO it. The idea of sending this
sccomplice IN election fraud and forgery,
whereby an usurper was placed in the
Presidential chair, as the representative
of the United States to the French Re.
public, is simply infamous. He would
have suited LOUIS NAPOLEON, who was
an adept in preventing the ballot, but
hardly IMAGINATION, who is loyal and
honest to his trust.
