Very Suspicious Sxmntoms.

A minister, who was perhaps not
too careful in his habits, was induced
by his friends to take the tetotal
pledge. His health appeared to suffer,
and his doctor ordered him to take
one glass of punch daily.
'Oh," said he, 81 dare not. Peggy.
my old housekeeper, would tell the
whole parish"
when do you shaver" the doctor
asked.
"In the morning"
"Then," said the doctor, 'shave at
night; and When Peggy brings up your
hot water, you can take your glass of
punch just before going to bed.
The minister afterward appeared
to improve in health and spirits. The
doctor met Peggy soon after, and
said:
I'm gald to hear. Peggy, that your
master is better"
Indeed, sir. he's better, but his
brains affected; there's something
wrang wi his mind
"HowY
why, doctor, he used to shave at
night before going to bed, bat now he
shaves in the morn, he shaves before
dinner, he shaves after dinner, he
shaves at night-he's aye Shawn"

Look to the Lambs

The near approach of, spring as in
dictated, not alone by the calendar, but
by the bright skies and high tempera-
ture that so generally prevail, will ad-
monish the flock owner that the season
for his early harvest is at hand. If he
has not already provided such conven-
fences and necessities as will insure the
comfort and enhance the health and
thrift of the lambs, upon which so
large proportion of his profits de-
ponds, he should lose no more time in
perfecting such arrangements. A lamb
once on its feet, and well filled with its
mothers milk, has escaped one-half the
risks of lambhOo1, and is ready to
grow and thrive, while its less fortu.
nate associates are overcoming the
backsets resulting from being chilled
and hungry by reason of the oversight
of carelessness of their owners.
AT this time the shepherd cannot be
overland to the inlambed ewes, pro-
vided his attentions are reasonably be-
slowed. Comfort they must have !;
luxuries, if such can be secured, they
will well repay-such luxuries as an
occasional run over the pasture days,
chance to nibble in the rye field.
with ertra articles of food when such
things are within reach. These will
give good tone to the system, enceur-
age the secretion of milk, and in every
way prepare the mother for the trials
of maternity and the subsequent de-
mands on her while sucking vigo-
rous lamb. 1t is nOts enough to allow
the breeding ewes to take their chanc-
es with the other members OF the flock
until weaving time and then separate
them for change in treatment. If
not kept to themselves all winter they
should be separated some weeks
before the lambs are due, SO
THAT they may become accus-
toned to their surroundings and
have the opportunity to reap such adj
vantages as are promised by the
change before the lamb appears. a
well-sheltered sleeping place, with
ample dry bedding, is an essential that
should not be overlooked. Demanded

negligence and short sightedness of
which an intelligent man should feel
ashamed.
An examination of the lamb affords
the best insight into the merits of the
lock-owner. Here his skill as a breed
er, as well as his standing as "hand-
ler' can best be determined. These
are the key to success, the fullest re-
suits from either being unrealized when
dlSassociated. Lavish expenditures
for breeding animals will have been in
vain If not supplemented by intelli-
gent and liberal treatment. Such treat

/
There are a variety of styles and pat
terms of drunken men, all Of them more
or less absurd and disagreeable. There
is the glorious, the stupid, the pugna.
cious, the confidential, the weeping,
the loquacious, and the morose drunk
man, besides many other minor varie-
ties. We purpose taking them, one
after the other, and describing some of
their. prominent characteristics. In
this article we shall confne ourselves
to the man who gets gloriously drunk.
He is usually a man of generous i'm
pulses, broad and liberal views, san
guine temperament, warm hearted and
sociable. The misery, mean, stingy,
or small sOuled men are seldom seen
gloriously drunk. Either because they
lack enterprise or because they dread
the expense consequent on a glorious
DRUNK, they confne themselves to soil
tary and economical tipping from a
bottle that they keep on the upper
shelf in the closet at home. You can
never tell by looking at a man, when
he is sober, what kind of drunk man
he would develope into, if had the OPP
portunity and the requisite intoxicants,
but you can be pretty sure that the
niggard, or the man who changes a
dime on Sunday morning that he may
have nickle to put in the poor box,
never invests in glorious drunk.
The man who becomes glOriously
drunk is usually ripe between l and
o'clock a. M, when, if he is not har-
vested by his friends and hackman,
is liable to be pulled by the police. He
takes more enjoyment out of a drunk
than any of the other varieries of bacch-
analian revelry. His views of life broad
en- out and his contempt for the de-
tails and trivial worries of business
strengthen as he warns up under the
influence or successive glasses of his
favorite beverage. If clouds of adver-
sity or trouble have filled the horizon
of his every day life, these clouds glow
with rose tints or disappear altogether
before the deceptive influence of the
golden liquid as he sucks it through a
straw, and tells the bar-keeper to
charge them to me-" He "sets 'em
up" with munificent liberality, not
only to his friends, but to any dhance
acquaintance, or even stranger that
may be in the saloon.
AS he warns up he is apt to break
forth into song. His favorite selec.
tions are of the "Drive-dull-care-awa
and "Won't-go-home-till-m morning"
class, and he is extremely partial to
anything with hip. hip, hurrahl cho-
rus to it. When he reaches the must.
cal period of his drunk, he usually has
his hat on one side of his head and
mud on his coat tail.
The man who gets gloriously drunk
never does anything by halves. He is
sure to get gloriously sick next morn.
ing. He is not an habitual drunkard
1.-THE latter never gets glorious), but
merely once in a while, without pre-
meditation, he meets a couple of
friends whom he has not seen for some
time, the mptation-and the liquor
lis too strong, and the result, next
morning. is headache, brandy and
soda, and determination never to do
so any more. His two friends usually
belong to the royalty drunk and the
boisterously drunk class.

DEATH OF Mr.. JAMES.
Bill Nye Does the Outlaw up in Great
Shape.

Shape.
BIZ Eye's Boomerang
we are once more panied to an.
nounce the death of Hon. Jesse James
we speak of him as Hon. Jesse James
because IL Is possible he may not be
dead yet, and we should not desire any
persona liti0s raked up in case he should
be still at large.
The regular semi-annual death of
jesse James has been cause for ma
nonal sorrow for some time. His
obituary has been written seven or
eight times by the faltering hand that
pens these lines, and we are still young.
DEATH has marked Mr.. James for its
own a good many times, and now he
has again been butchered to make a
Missouri holiday. The soil from Maine
to California has been drenched with
his gore, and the green grass waves
above his ashes in every portion of our
great land. No man has persisted
from the face of the earth so ubioui-
tiously as Mr.. James, and no American
citizen has yielded up his young life
under such varied and peculiar circum-
stances.
Lay him down where the bobolink
blossoms on the sweet potato vine, and
plant him in the valley where the pecan
waves.
Born Of humble and obscure parents.
he rapidly rose to the proud eminence
OF Americas leading thief and muir
derer. When death marked him for
his victim the last time, he was as
prominent a man as Henry Ward
Beecher or Roscoe Conkling. His
genius took a different shoot, it is true.
but he won name as plunderer
which throws the proud achievements
of our modern bank cashiers back in
to cold and clammy oblivion. Death
has once more stilled the pulse of a
man who. were it not for his little
eccentricities rs a human butcher and
grand larceny coAnoisseur, would have
made an elegant humorist or states
man.
Had he been less of an enthusiast.
and less radical as murderer, he might
have shown in the best society. Had
he plead emotional insanity the first
time he got up surprise funeral, in
stead of making an outlaw of himself,
ne might now be alive, loved, and re-
spected. But he was ignorant of the
law, and thought that when a man
murdered all the first-class passengers
on train, he would be dealt harshly
with and ostracised. That is where he
committed grave error. He went on
from bad to worse, and lost all respect
for himself.
Yellow fever and the James boys
have been a great scourge to this coun-
try. The mortality from these COM
bined diseases has been frightful. Now
that Jesse is dead once more, we feel
hopeful that the country can be popu-
lated without serious delay. Hereto
fore 1t has been an uphill joD, and such
men as DIR. Haywood have felt at
times as though they would sink down
with encouragement. But now there
is hope again. The yellow fever is
subdued, and Jesse James again re-
clines OH his bier. The census should
show a rapid advance in the next five
years, and boom in way that will
make other nations sick
