Forty years ago, and far away,
Rose the sun, upon wedding day;
Two, 10 walk together,
Fair, or foul the weather.
Plighted solemn promise, hand in hand;
Youth and Hope, exulting, crowned the band.
Who should tell what changes, smiles or tears
Came to meet them with the hur1ying years.
Mono could show What gladness,
None discerned what sadness:
Only this they knew, or cared to know,
Love would brighten bliss, and tighten wool
Forth they bent them, from their native hills,
Well remembered ponds, and meadow rins.
Seasons came and went
Fresh young voices lent
TO their homes dear joys, . sweeter zest,
All the changeful years 60 richly blest;
Forty years agol How Ike dream,
Lives In memory, many . by7gone scene!
Ledin unknown ways,
10, these many days,
Counting up the blessings held in store,
Trust, for whatsoever Nes before!
"A FRIEND.

LAST Saturday between 10 and II
O'Clock A. NJ, when Dave Stimson was
in the country and Mrs. Stimson was
down town, Mrs. Jones, mother of Mrs.
Stimson, returning after moments alb
sence, found strange man IN the sitting
room. He was well dressed, wore burn.
sides, and had ring on his finger. He
asked il the man of the house was at
home Being answered no, he inquired
for the lady Of the house; informed of
her absence, he then asked il there was
any money IN the house. Mrs. Jones re-
membered that Mr.. Stimson had q Icvol-
yer, and getting il, she pointed it at him
and told him to move or she would "blow
his brains out" He smilingly asked if
she thought she could frlghten him, and
at this juncture she bethought herself of
q ruse, and stepping to an open window
cried, "Dave, come here quick" This
scared the fellow away, and she conclud.
not to faint. Mrs. Jones did very bravely
ami displayed more self possession than
10 ordinarily shown. She did not know
the revolver was loaded, and so feared
to attempt firing it, lest 1t she fail, her
only defense would he gone. What great
and never-to-be.regretted pity 1t is that she
didn't shoot him dead. There should be no
computations of conscience about killing
4 robber. It should be looked Al in the
light Of duty, the duty which one owes
to society. This man had taken his life
in his own hands, deserved no pity, and
being spared through the common dread
to take life, may now continue bis work,
next time with perhaps dire results. 1t
is ones bounden duty to kill in such
cases. Aud let this be warning to all,
There is no reason why every woman
should not have revolver and know how
to use it. We have no patience with the
sick]y sentimentality of . woman who ID
afraid Of revo1oer, bu: isn't afraid to be
alone, or out nights. Let them quit sucf,
nonsense and learn to depend upon them
selves. It Is . much moro needed accom-.
pl,shment in many cases to be able Ia
cock and fire revolver, than to do q
thousand and ono things that require
more time, moro muscle. moro braina
and moro everything but sense enough

In Justice Court,

Elmer Tubbs has "sweet tooth" but
in the opinion of SONS, no other trace Of
sweetness resides In him, and, he
staads good chance Of getting a bad
name. Some little time ago he was &C.
cused of stealing "swind!ing brass ket.
tie" from w. H Anderson, and now again
he comes before the majesty Of Squire
Griflth's court. It Is there claimed that
on the night Of October 8, he chose for
his text that sweet passage In the book of
Samson or something, "What is sweeter
than jerked honey in the honey JAR" and
so passaged into 1ngmundson's cellar
and carried off some strained honey. The
next night he repeated his call, aud fin.
ished the job, taking IN all 30 jars aud
jugs Of the me'liduous stuff. A young
Hunt was also arrested, and some honey
was found at Hunts house, but there was
no evidence against him and he was nj.
lowed to run. Not SO with young Tubbs.
Some-two jars-honey was found at the
Tubbs mansion, and when asked why he
hadn't eaten that, he merrily replied that
1t was candied and he "didnt like can
died honey" Which is more than some
harder working If not better fed youth can
cay. In view Of all the light shed upon
the case, the court bound him over to
await the opinion Of the district court.
His pa "mortgaged the farm" and thus
this young Tubb has bail to it.
Cyrus w. Padelford, was arrested for
assaulting and batterlng a brother. 1t
appears that they had some alteration
about a chattel mortgage, Cyrus claim
ing that his brothers robbed him of his
two cows and horse. At any rate he
went to their place to get pitchfork,
and hot words ensuing, lead to blows,
when Cyrus smote him on the head with
the fork handle and laid open his frontal
bone. Arrested and fined. Refusing to
pay he went to Jail for eight days.
M. B. Slocum, ]. p, arrests Clinton
Tollard on complaint OF D. Brighton, for

fraud and kanooGle and bumfoozle the

LAST Friday night q score of friends
and neighbors surprised Hon. N. K.
Noble and family at their residence, the
day being the fortieth anniversary Of
their wedding. No significance was at
tached TO the fact that 1t was the day of
the Nv oolen Wedding" and no attempt
at anything bnt having good time was
made. The evening passed most pleas
antly in conversation, with speeches, mu-
sic, refreshments, and the hearts of the
venerable couple were made glad by the
kind presence Of some and the loving
remembrance of others. We surely wish
them . continuance of happiness and
loving friends until they have passed the
"diamond- wedding time.'' Below we

So we bought "heifer cow" for $40.
She gives splendid milk, and we know

Russia. He appealed to the Viceroy, LORD
Northbrook. who was prepared to make the
desired promise, but the Home Government
dssented, and Shere Ali was informed that
nothing more would be done for him.
Lord Cranbrook writes with great ex-
plicitness of this crisis in the Al
CHAN question, being of course anxious 10
shift part of the responsibility OF the present
rupture to the shoulders of the Gladstone ad-
ministration, which was then in power
Repelled by the British, the Ameer grew
surly. He refused to accept the subsidy placed
at his disposal by the Indian Govern
ment, and assumed an attitude OF sulleh
reserve. Meanwhile Russia was making strides
in Central Asia. The Ameer, true to his
Oriental instincts, sought friendship with wDat
he deemed the mightier power. 1t was Gus
tomary for him to ask the Indian Gov
ernment as to the replies he should send
TO the Russian communications, Dut at
th,s iuncture he committed the grave fault III
British ewes. of dealing on his own account
with General Kaufman. When Lord BeaconS-
field came into power he naturally deemed
Mr., Gladstone's timid policy mistake.
He sent out Lord Lytton with author
itv TO offer the Ameer all he had
asked, provided he would allow BIlt-
ish agents to reside in his dOminions, so that
they might keep steady watch upon the IN
trigucs of Russia The Ameer, exercising his
rights as a sovereign, disregarded this offer.
He dscerned. no doubt. that the president
agent" or spy, has been fruitful cause OF
contention, and that his presence is construed
in the East as mark of vassalage and hu-
initiation, The Indian Government, in its in
trigues, relaxed, being restrained by the dis
turbcd state of Europe, but its thirst for con-
troll was unappeased. Finding that he could
not buy the Amecr, Lord Lytton determined to
subdue him. Hence followed the Chamberlain
Embassy and the ultmatum which has been
made the pretext for the present invasion.
The explanation is feeble, and has been
refuted in advance III the protests which
Lord Lawrence, Mr. Gladstone, and
portion of the Liberal press had made
against the unprovoked aggression. Should
the invaders triumph, however, Lord Bea-
consield's attempts at personal govern
ment will be condoned. The British pub
lie do not apply European ethics to Indian al
fairs, and will pardon almost anything that
