Finally the railroad people determined to run
through cars for passengers and freight, and to
carry them across tine river on large boats built
for that purpose. 5u5 before they gave their
orders to their boat builders. they were waited
upon by the attorneys Of Joe Lambert, who
soon convinced them that his ferry privilege
gave him alone the right to run any kind OF
crTy-aaats between the two villages which had
now grown to such a size that they called them-
selves cities. The result was that the railroads
made contract with Joe to carry their cars
across, and ho had some large boats built for
that purpose.
All this occurred q good many years ago, and
Joe Lambert is not called Joe now, but Captain
Lambert. He IS one of the most prosperous
men in the little river city. and owns many
large river steamers besides his ferry-boats.
Nobody is reader than he to help poor boy

Administer CarDetS.

The,itle town of Administer Devonshire
England, became famous by reason Of its car
PETS in 1913. They were woven in one piece,
but until 1853 this involved so HIuch time that
il caused them to be few in number, and enor-
mously expensive. In that year it occurred TO
Mr. Templeton, Paisley shawl manufacturer,
that the process adopted i'll weaving chenille
shawls might be applied TO Axminster carpets,
and this greatly reduced their price, although
they are yet very costly. The firm Of Temple
ton * Co., Of Glasgow, still do nearly all the
weaving by hand. They have designing estab-
lishments in London and Glasgow, where
nearly one hundred persons are employed.
They are now making carpet for the library

A Kiss for Mamma

The car was all ready, the aeronaut saying
A few last words ere he sailed away
To the far blue sky where the sunbeams strsying
Made perfect the glorious summer day;
While thousands and thousands were gathering
nigh,
To wish him good journey, and bid him goodbye.
A wee little maid with her sunny hair falling
Back from her beautiful childish brow,
snrano away from her nurse, her baby voice
calling:
"An' p'ease, Mr. Man, may do no"T
I want to do up wiz 90 in e sky,
To find my own mamma an tiss 'er dood-oye."
He kissed the sweet face, while the tear-drops
were shining
IN many cheek hardened with care;
rre unclasned the arms round his neck fondly
twilinE,
And sailed from the little one standing therei
F2,I+ a sweet voice rose to him, clear and free,
"TeIl mamma Is dood dirI, an tiss 'er TO mel"

4 Strict Discinlirarian.

PROM me lOttb tDfpftHIOh-i
Russian discipline is 50 strict that It seems
tyrannical. The following anecdote Of the late
General ScobeIefT, who was a rigid disciplinar-
ian, iInpresscs the reader painfully. For an
officer has no right to tempt a soldier to do that
which, if done, would result in MS being pun
ishcd with death
Scobelef'5 vedettes were never caught nap
ping. His knowledge Of the detail of military
duty was universaI-even to sounding all tho
bugle calls. An illustration Of the discipline
Of his corps occurs to me.
I had been talking with him Of military
eech-lOaders and discussing the merits Of
various systems. Taking a "Berdan," with
which the troops were Iattarlv armed, from a
soldier, he undid the brecch and lock and ex-
planned the mechanism with the precision of 8
gunsmith.
Returning the rife to the soldier, ne turned,
and walking up to the sentry few PAGES dis
tant, he said: Let me see your rife extend
ing his hand as he spoke
The man saluted and replied, "I cannot,
your exceIIency" "But I want to see if it is
excellency," again said the sentry, as firm as a
rock
ScobeleT smiled, pulled his ears, and walked
on. / asked an explanation, whereuQon he said
that a rule of war with him was that no sentry
on duty was on any account to give up possess
sion Of his arms-not even to the Gar him
self
But" said I, suppose the sentry had given
up his rifle when you were seemingly so serious
in asking it. What then?" He would have
been shot," quietly replied the General, for
disobedience to orders in time of war"

The Old Post Oalce.


In tearing down the old post Office, the work.
nen found an almanac bearing the date of 1913
and round, as if for pocket use, which was
.akcn from a crcvirc in the wall. It was in good

found large number Of copper and silver coins.
Among the former are pennies Of the time Of
George I, a Connecticut penny Of 1871, and
United States cent and haIEcent pieces dated
n tho latter part of the last and the early
part of the present century. Among the
silver coins is q beautiful specimen about
The size Of a twcnty-ccn5 piece. One side
Of it is in perfect state Of his preservation.
In the centre is a female head; above IS the
word Liberty, and below the date 1888.

Four O'Clock Music.
rBy lrs. clara Doty Bates.

By Mrs. cara DOty EGtss.
Three things in grandpa's kitchen
Pipe up merry tune,
As Journeys toward the ruddy west
The winter afternoon.
There, firstly, is the kettle,
Just set upon the fire,
with bright, old-fashioned, honely face.
As leader of the choir.
We sometimes call it the Deacon;"
The reason, suppose,
Is because it has that quavering way
Ofsinging through its nose.
And next, cricket Is hidden
About the fireplace
(We can only hear his serenadss,
We never see his face j
And from his favorite corner
Comes such incessant din,
That I'm sure his crooked elbows Achs
Scraping that violin.
And, lastly, the kitten, Wlnkie,
Who has "a tigers fur
The soft wool OF the fireside rug
Is jungle grass to her
Sings, too, with muIled ripple
FIuttering along her throat
Washing, meanwhile, with tidy paw
Her whis1ers and her coat.
But why in grnndpa's kitchen,
This winter afternoon,
Do kettle and cricket and little cat
Each pipe a happy tune?
Why, Ted and the little girl GOld-Locks
Have been in school all day;
They'll be coming home about this time,
Snowballing all the way.
And their eyes viii have such sparkle,
Their checks such frosty rose,
That if you We're here to see the sight
You might sing too-who knows:

That summer days return. The partridge whirs

And for q while the sun retrckls his beams.

All, dear. this tardy sunshine, and the last!

And hoar-frost with us-for n little breath
So fair a country such genial air;
And shall forget our woes, and unaware

VOWED in this vast aggregation OF human
beings known as the City of London
Statisticians cannot account for the worlds
consumption Of one fjsh-th herring. Russia
Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland not
only supply their own needs, bat have quanti-
ties Of these fish to export. Independent OF
all this supply, Scotland alone produces enough
to satisfy the worlds demand for this one article
of food. In 1881 the herring catch of Scotland
consisted Of 1,Ill,l5 barrels. In 1850 the
supply was still larger by somo $50, 0G0 barrels.
Fresh herring sold Immediately after being
caught are not included in these enormous
totals Heretofore the query has been: What
becomes Of the myriad of pins which are
manufactured; but from this time forth the great
statistical conundrum will be: WHO eats all the
herrings?
People who argue that q national debt IS a
national blessing. really furnish some argu-
mcnts which seem to confirm that paradoXical
expression. France has the greatest national
debt, hut the French people arc the most we'll
to-do in the world. The property of that
country is well distributed; there are no
Vandcrbilts or Jay Goulds in la belle France.
On the other hand it is also true that nations
with very little of debt arc often very poor.
Comparing analogously the different national
debts, we shall sec for how much every indi-
vidual in each state is responsible:

Literary Notes from The Century Co.

Literary Notes from The Century Co.
Attorney-General Brewster, in his
Albany address, intimated that the
failure of the prosecution in the Star
Route cases would lead many to
doubt the present efficacy of the
jury system itself. Mr.. Brewster
could have come nearer the fact had
he said that the fasco would deepen
that doubt in the minds of many.
For many years there has been a
growing feeling, among those most
familiar with the workings of the
jury system, that something bet
ter is needed. This aspect
of the discussion - for there
are two sides to the question-is
earnestly and strikingly put forth in
a paper which is to appear in the
November Century, by Mr.. Albert
Stickney, New York lawyer of rep
utation. The paper has such
strength of conviction, indeed, that
it is a direct challenge to any one
holding the opposite view. Very
likely reply will be evoked by it;
that none should be made would be
an evidence that the system has lost
more favor than now seems proba>
BILE. That the view of the question
taken by MIR. Stickney is not con-
fined to the East, is shown by an
interesting letter of similar tenure,
in the same number, from a member
of the Indiana bar, Robert Jones,
Esq, of Lafayette.
For thirty years the name of
Florence Nightingale has been.
familiar to the American public, but
how many of those who honor her
have ever seen her portrait This
pleasure is to be afforded by the
November Century, in a large en-
craving by Cole, which is to be the
frontispiece of the number. In
England some idealized pictures
have appeared, but nothing to which
Miss Nightingale or her family would
give sanction. Mr.. Coles engraving
is made with the authorization of her
sister, Lady Verney, who has sent
for the purpose photograph, show
ing face of great refinement,
sweetness and decision. The portrait
is engraved to accompany paper on
"a New Profession for Women, L. g,
trained nursina of which Miss
Nightingale is the founder, and
which has been so successfully es-
tablished in America through the
Bellevue Training-School for Nurses.

Our old friend, Captain Tom BIZ

didate for the Legislature from
Greene County. We, of course,
wish him success.
Judge Randolph, independent can
didate for Congress in the first dis
trict, has quit the canvass, and the
contest is narrowed down between
Pettibone and Taylor
Judge Smith, who has just been
nominated as the Republican can
didate for Congress in the Memphis
district, is personally very popular,
and his nomination is considered q
strong one.
Bob Ingersoll's lectures are being
translated and circulated in Japan to

but he will be made to pay for it in
the great hereafter.
The remains of Miss Ensley, who
met with such sad and tragic death
in Nashville last week, were laid to
rest near her home in Memphis on
last Friday. The floral tributes were
very elaborate and the funeral cor
tege was of great length.
After devoting seventeen years of
his life to arson, murder and robbery,
the notorious Frank James went for
ward the other day and voluntarily
placed himself in the clutches of the
law that he has SO long defed and
trampled upon with IMMUNITY. He
is the last surviving member of
band of robbers whose black deeds
are written, as it were, in blood.
Jesse James, the leader of the band,
was shot down like a wild beast,
and we now see the other brother
coming as guilty suppliant craving
and begging for mercy at the hands
of an outraged law. We rejoice to
know that the career of the James
brothers is ended, and that their
once formidable organization is now
extinct. May our country never be
cursed with another like it.

At CraddOck' 5 opera.house last evening
large and intelligent audience assembled to
witness Mr., Ere ierick Warde in the famous
tragedy of "Nirenius, or the Roman
Father The story and the play are too
well known to need comment. Mr.. Warde,
as the chief support of John Mccullough,
made national reputation for himself he.
fore he commenced TO assume leading roles
and star the country. Since that time,
however, his reputation has steadily grown
and he is now most unqucstionably one of
the first actors in the couu-
try, His impersonation and con.
cepuon of Nirginjus are very
strong, and last evening he seemed at his
hest. In the third and fourth acts Mr.
Warde's acting was exceptionally fine,
especially where he is listening to I.ucius'
state meht that Virginia has been seized
ami where before Appius he pleads his
cause and finally Stays his daughter rather
than see her outraged, The fine physique
OF MIR. Warde enabled him to do iull Justice
90 the grand character he unprecedented. In
the hiIh act where Nirginius enters the
prison and demands at the hands of
Appius Claudius his daughter, Vir.
glnla, Mr.. Warde'S powers came out to
the full, aud the representation could not
be surpassed, particularly in his facial ex-
preston as he cutched the throat of the
tyrant who had ruined him
As lcelius Mr.. John r. Malone was
eaual to the character though we miss
Warde's assistance to Mccullough. He is
young man of fine ability and exceI-
ent promise, As Virginia, Miss
Frances Field was ready with her lines and
the general impersonation; aud considering
the fact that she had to supply the place OF
Miss Anna Boyle, she is entitled to high
praise for her touching representation. So,
too, We're Rand as Appius Claudius and
Curran as Siccius Dcntatus, well up in their
respective roles. We regret that the
crowded condition of our columns this
morning prohibits fuller notice of this
splendid performance.
