Reward Of Industry.

A few days ago poor friendless lad
might have been seen wandering along
the streets looking for employment. He
presently halted in front of butcher
shop. and, walking boldly up to the rro-
prietor, asked for job. There was
something invthe young mans frank,
honest countenance, which struck the
proprietor favorably.

"No," responded the lad with trem-
bling voice, II have supported my mother
and two sisters for five years by hard
work. ,-f
IIe was put on trial at IS week

frame and healthy constitution came in
good play One day m old lady came
in to get some beef, and the proprietor
told him to attend to the customer
"A tanderloin steak, If you please"
ssaid she. -. H.,
Here's a cut that nobody ne
first families get," responded the boy
smilngly as he sliced of four pounds
of tough round and cast it with heavy
hand on the scales, jamming ii down
with a quick, dextcrous movement. until
tho indicator marked six even pounds.
Then he snatched it of before the deli
cate machinery, used to weigh beef, had
time to recoil
six pounds and half, madam" he
said, looking her square in the face with
his clear, blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him
in that night, and rcmarking that he had
watched his course carefully, added that
as reward for his quick, comprehen-
sive grasp of the business he would raise
his salary to 1926 per week. This shows
the advantage of doing everything well.

The FALL.--Here is boys compo-
sition on fall This is fall, because il
falls on this season of the year. Leaves
fall, too, as well as Thermometers and
the price of straw hats. Old topers, who
sign the pledge in summer, are liable to
fall when fall cider-making opens, for
s,raws show which way the cider goes
IIusking corn is one of the pleasures Of
fall; but pleasure isn't good for boys, |
don't think. Old men want little fun
let them husk A husky old man can
go through good deal of corn, some
times. Digging taters is another Of our
fall amusements. The way like to dig
taters is to wait until they are baked
nicely, and then dig them out of their
skins Most winter schools open in the
fall. The best winter school | ever went
to didn't open until spring, and the first
day it opened the teacher took sick end
the school house was locked up for the
season. Once in while we have very
severe fall but nothing like the fall of
Adam and Eve in the Garden Of Eden.
Summer is misnamed 1t should DO
called Pride, for doesn't pride go be-
fore fall ?-Saturciay Night. W.

FOR CONGRESS,
Hon. Daniel B. Lucas.

Mr.. Editor-People are beginning TO
talk about candidates for Congress al
ready. We don't take any active part in
politics, but we should like to have the OPP
portunity of voting for Hon. d. b. Lucas
this Fall. 1t seems TO us that Mr.. Lucas
has been electing men TO Congress long
enough now lit is time there was change
made. Considering his superior qualifca,,
tons for the position, and the personal
sacrifices that lie has made for the good OF
the party and the various candidates :;
there is no man who presents as strong
claims to the Democrats of the End DIS
trict, as d. Z. Lucas. Since the State has
been divided into four districts the Demo-
cratic majority of this district has been
fearfully diminished. There certainly
will not be much margin to throw away
votes on inferior candidates. If that sort
of thing goes on, we are likely to get most
dsa.trously defeated-a thing that Will
be most unfortunate for the Democracy OF
the country at large.
We then say let every democrat and
other friends Of NJ. Lucas put their shout
dcrs TO the wheel and his nomination and
election is fixed fact. We regard Mr..
/. as one of the ablest men of the State,
and his services in the Halls of Congress
would prove incalculable benefit 10 our
rich and prosperous little State. IL.

A Child Eaten Alive by a FerO-
ciOus wild Beast.

The story of horrible affair which took
place on the hcadwaterS OF the Mlddle
Fork river last week has just been de-
tailed to us by u reliable gentleman. 1t
seems that 4 family of Germans or Swiss
settled some few years ago in the midst
of a vast wilderness on the river above
named n considerable distance from any
other settlement. BY industry the family
soon had nice little area OF this rich and
productive soil under cultivation, and by
frugality and labor accumulated COM
Portable competence and were living hap
pilv in their forest home, though still far
from neighbOrs, and what are usually
termed the comforts of life. Last week
the happiness of this little home was sad
" married. A charming lille daughter
some seven or eight years OF age, ana the
pet of the household, was told TO go ana
bring in the COW on the evening in qucs-
ton. The child left for the pasture rs
she was hidden, but presently returned,
and said there was something in the road
which would not let her go by, and she
could not drive il away. Her parents
surprising that tho child was inventing a
story to keep from doing their bidding,
directed her to 90 and finally threatened
30 whip her. To escape the punishment
the child started, her parents little dream
Ing the horrible fate that awaited their
loved one. The girl failed to return, aud
her rrotractc'! absence, taken IN Connec-
ton with her previous story, final y
alarmed her father, and lac started i'll
search of her, but ouly to find one of her
little feet and 4 few scattered fragments.
The aronized father Immediately sought
the nearest ncghbOrs and gathering Il
small party started in pursuit of the de-
s;royer. The animal was finally overtak-
en- ard after desperate fight in which
some of the dogs were torn To ShredS, the
fcrocious animal was brought to the earth
having twenty-siX rifle balls in its body.
None of those who SAW the animal could
tell what ii it was. The only description
given was that it was spotted and weighed
200 pounds. Its skin was preserved for
stufing aud when it reaches the settle
mputs something more definite can be as
ccrtained.- Randolph Enterprise.

Gen. Grant at n Serious Railroad
Accident.

4 very serious railroad accident occur
red Thursday morning last on the Long
Branch railroad. Three lives were lost
and thirty injured. Gen. Grant was on
the train. but with his accustomed good
luck escaped with 4 few bruises. lie was
in the smoking car, and after the accident
was helped through Il window to place
of safety by Fireman Foster, with slight
scratch at the knee, minus his hat, but
with his cigar still lighted, as impertura-
bic rs though enjoying quiet smoke ON
the veranda of his cottage. He took an
active part in the work of rescu:ng his
less fortunate fellow-passcngcrS, and
with characteristic GOODNESS directed the
railroad hands as to the quickest and
most feasible methods of getting the pe0-
pie out of the wreck.
A trackman who saw the train go into
the water, and afterwards helped to save
the passengers, said: General Grant is
the uoblcsL man in America, God bless
him. He's a cool one. He no sooner
crawled out, smoking as natural rs life,
than he told us fellows what to do, and
we did it, too, with good will. He stood
there at first without any hat and told us
to get rope, and then how to get a
wounded lady out of the car next to the
smoker"
The New York Tribune which always
delights to curry down the General with
hard comb, says: cone feature of the
railway disaster is, we presume, fated to
take its place in history. When General
Grant was pulled through the window of
the car he was still smoking his cigar.
Then he stood on the wreck lstill smok-
img) and directed the work OF rescuing
the others. This attitude will allow Il
variety in the monuments erected to his
memory -

From the California (Mo.) Monitor
"Miles Orton's Great Mastodon Shows eX-
hibited in this city last Monday. The
tent was we'll filled, both afternoon and
evening. We can say of this circus that
il is the best we have seen for many a
year; we have attended Barnum's far
famed show and most of the Leading CIR
cuses, and i'm our opinion Orton'S eXcells
them ALL Mr.. Field, as clown, is hare
10 beat. The Orion children in their trap
exc and bareback acts are simply wonder
full. We haven't the space to enumcrate
the many good things OF this circus, but
think the ground covered when we say
it's better than Barnum's." Mr.. Orion
has for this season made many new addi-
tons to his already novel exhibition.
Among the principle features contained
i'm the present great show are: the Span
ish Circo. Signor Gavin, who juggles with
Burning Balls of Fire, Azel. the atmos-
pheric phenomenon, Little Allie and Ber-
nard, sensational symnasts, in their ter
rife descent, like blazing comet shot
from the dread immensely OF space, the
School of CANNES, including the only
dog that turns a somersault on bare
backed horse, Hagenbeck's Royal German
Menagerie and Thierpark, containing the
monster crocodile, beautiful tigers and
leopards, the Herd of Acting Elks,, Luz
cera's Trained Lions, loose Oh the nigh
way, the Famous Museum, Orton's own
Moral Circus of 100 celebrities, including
Miles Orion, bareback champion OF the
world, Five Great Clowns, the Bicycle
Riders and hundreds of other new attrac-
tons, all of which will he exhibited here
