A correspondent of the Louis
vile Courier Journal " rites Sew
cral years age l was coming from
Poughkeepsie by boat, and we
stopped at Cornwall to take
aboard the gentlemen who went
early to business in New York.
Instead of the usual number
there were a great many people
who rushed aboard in various
stages of indignation and digust.
1t was a perfect exodus, and we
soon learned the cause. The night
before, light bread was set in a
Cornwall boarding house pantry
to "rise.' Bedtime came and all
retired-all, at least, save a pet
kitten, who prowled about and
got into the pantry, and, finding
the pan Of bread, lay down there
on, and went quietly to sleep.
The dough yielded gradually, and
slowly but surely the kitten was
engulfed, the batter closing over
and leaving no sign. When morn,
ing came the bread was brought
in hot. Imagine the scene-all
the boarders seated at the table
when that loaf was broken
open! They left in a body

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The weekly press has gradually
grown up into a powerful politi,
cal, as we'll as social engine, diff
fusing information on all subjects
Of interest and rejecting great
credit On the able men who have
the control ofthe various journals.
The newspapers have, within the
past few years, greatly Increased
in numbers and size, and improved
in literary character. They are
to be found in every town of i'm
portance in the States, and a poor
ly edited sheet is rarely seen. The
publishing and editing of these
papers involves considerable ex-
pense, and the fact that they are
main tanned is evidence of the ~
telligence and enterprise of their
readers. We are glad to speak a
good word for our weekly con-
temporaries for we recognize the
talent that is displayed in con.
Quoting them and wish them in.
creased success in the future.
We would also urge upon the
people of each community the ne
cessity of giving their local paper
their most cordial support. The
local paper is what gives stran
gers their knowledge of the char
acter Of the people of the coun.
try where the paper is published
aud in proportion to the support
given will the journal be con
Quoted. The town that is not
able or which refuses to support
its local paper lacks the enter
prise that will bring prosperl
ty to the country and deserves
to sink into decay. But that
town that has live, fearless anG
energetic newspaper, and there
are many of them, sends the in
teligence all over the land, anc
the people know that such town:
are thriving and prosperous. Il
is, of course, the proper thing tt
subscribe for at least one of the
large city dailies, but the first duty
of the citizen is to support hi:
local journal for the sake of patro

Every vestige Of color left hel

months could hear nothing Of the

for Two years l remained at the

one Of our trips l met liver-pad

Of my employer, who resided in
New York, and between whom and

friendship. He frequently sent
me copies of Am erican papers, and
not long since l received, through

WOODEN SHOES One of. the
most striking sights that take the
attention of the traveller in Japan,
is that of the wooden sandals
worn by the thirty-ive millions
Of people. These sandals have a
separate compartment for the
great toe, and make clacking
noise on the street. Straw slip.
pers are also worn, and a traveller
starting out on a journey will
strap supply. Of them on bic
back, that be may put on a new
pair when the old is worn out.
They cost but a cent and a.half a
pair. They are rights and lefts,
and leave the foot free to the air
we never see those deformities
ofthe foot in Japan which are SO
frequent in this country. They
are never worn in the house, be-
ing left outside the door; passing
down street, you see long rows OF
them at the doors old and new,
large and small. 1t is surprising
to see how rapidly the Japs step
out of them, and pick them up
again with their feet, when leav.
ing the house.

WRITTEN FOR THE NEwBERRY HERALD
REDEEMED.
BY CLYDE WAYNE.

lnez Gray stood in the doorway
of the old country homestead, and
a tear stole slowly down her cheek
as the twilight gathered about
her, and presently she left the
door and sat on the low bench
that stood in the shadow of the
honeysuckle that twined about
the porch.
Here she leaned her head on the
railing, and hot tears fell fast and
convulsive sobs shook her slender
frame.
This place, the home so dear to
her heart; the place her father
loved as his life, was to be sold on
the morrow, and they, the aged
parents, be berefL of the dear old
home that had sheltered them for
twenty-five long years, and in
which SO much happiness had
come to them.
They loved every tree on the
place, and every flower and shrub
held a tender place in the hearts
of these old people.
Each brought back memory
Of a son who had gone forever
from the hearthstone; Of a voice
for which they listened in vain
and a presence that had once filed
their homes with gladness.
sOh!it was bitter! bitterl' and
Inez thought of all this as she sat
alone on this June evening.
oh my father and mother
must you leave this dear old bom 9
now when the sorrows of time
have silvered your heads, and
when you need more than ever,
the shelter Of your home ? Oh
Wilber, why did you leave me
-Four years ago since we stood
here in the doorway and you
whispered, keep up courage, Inez,
my darling, and in only two short
years I will come to you, and we
will! clear up this dreadful old
mortgage, and you will have your
home for a1Vays.' All, Wilber
that seems such a long, long time
ago! And then came the message
Of the wreck at sea, and l felt
that l would never see you again
Oh, Wilber! Wilber!'
Around the supper table there
was unusual quiet on this the last
day in the old home.
The father and mother spoke
but little, and Inez felt strange
choking as she glanced into the
dear wrinkled faces Of the old
couple.
HAS any one been hero this
evening, mother p she asked, pre-
sently, L thought l saw some one
as | came in from my walk
Yes, dear! The gentleman hold
