Gentlemen democrats, if you could see

their victories by sticking together. and

Saline County Democrat, Oct. 2S:-'The
bar of Marshsll held a meeting on Tuesday
morning in the office of MIR. Boyd. The pro-
ceedings OF the meeting will be fouad in ah-
other column, and every reader of the Dem
ocrat will agree with us that the resolutions
passed thereat are a richly deserved COM
pliment to Judge Wood. Judge W. not
only has the regard of the lawyers OF Saline
county, but he has the universal esteem Of
all our people. The speeches OF the occasion
were scarcely less complimentary TO the in
comiug judge than they were to the one re-
firing. We hope to see Judge Wood often
in attendance upon our court, and we as
sure him that his presence will always be a
welcome one to the people of Saline county,"
We love woman. We do more than love,
we honor her. All rightly constituted
men both honor and love woman, but they
become SO used to her ministrations that
they forget to end her due need of praise
for her laborious and constant work, and
they too often, from carelessness more than
intention, Impose upon her more than she is
able to bear. The bright-eyed sweetheart
got all the gentle words of love and praise
that she was entitled to no doubt, but does
the tired and anxious wife and mother? In
how many cases querulous fault finding at
the table, the children and the linen, takes
the place of the kind word and hearty kiss
that greeted Mary before her burdens made
them more necessary TO her. Fellow.men,
be kind to your wives. No doubt you love
them-let them sec it. 1t is as easy to praise
as to find fault. Cultivate the habit of prais-
Ing. Speak gently to your wives. Lighter
their burdens. Freshen up your love to
them, and see how 1t will warm up their
hearts and put new life and beauty in their
eyes. p
The country through which the Chicago
& Alton railroad passes In Lafayette county
Is as pretty as a picture. The only trouble
about the picture Is that it is all nature.
Now nature is a very fine thing. No man
can make as pretty a thing as a bird, a horse
or a woman ; nor can he paint anything as
fair as a lily. The women try, occasionally
to improve on nature by painting them.
