HIGH-HAEDRp THEFr. daring
theft was committed Thursday morn
ing, at about four o'clock, in the pas
ture of Messrs. Sanford d Conerly,
near town. On the night previous ten
beeyes were placed in the pasture for
safe keeping over night by Messrs.
Watson and Cornelius McGregor.
Among them were a pair of large, red
steers, coupled together. At the hour
above stated man was seen riding in
the pasture, and at daylight the steers
were missing. Alessrs. Watson and
MeGregor thought they had clue to
the perpetFator Of the theft and were
on trail Yesterday afternoon. People
should be on the lookout for cattle
thieves and swift punishment method
out to them. We know that any in
formation leading to the recovery of
the cattle will be cheerfnlly received by

showing that his scholarship Lad fallen
below the usual average.
"Well," said bis father, "you' We
fallen below this month, have you?'
"Ies, sir"
GLOW did it happen p
Don't know, sir"
The father knew, if lis son did rot.
lie had observed a number of cheap
novels scattered about the house, but
hc thought it not worth while to say
anything until fitting opportunity
should offer itself. a basket of apples
stood upon the floor and he said,-
Empty those apples, and take the
basket and bring it 10 me half full of
chips. And now" he continued, "put
those apples back into the basket"
When half the apples were replaced
in the basket, the son said,-
Father, they roll Oft can't put

Put them in, l telI YOU"
"But, father, l can't put them in."
"Put them in? No; of course you
can't put them in. Do you expect to
fill basket half full of chips, and then
fill it with apples? You said you
didn't know how you fell behind at
school, and I will tell you. Your mind
is like that basket; it will not hold but
about SO much; and here you have
been the past month filling it up with
something worse than chips-worth-
less, cheap novels"

JOSH BILLIEGs ON MARRIAGE.-By
all means, Joe, get married if you have
a fair show. Don't be shiyering on
the bank, but pitch rite in and stick
your head under and shiver it out.
Thar amt any more trick in getting
married than in eating peanuts. Many
a man has stood shivering on the shore
until the river run out. Don't expect
to marry an angel. They have been all
picked up long ago. Remember, Joe,
you hain't saint yourself. Do not
marry for beauty exclusively; beauty
is like ice, awful slippery, and thaws
dreadful easy. Don't marry for luv,
neither, luv is like a cooking stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives
out. But let the mixture be some
beauty, becomingly dressed, with about
two hundred and fifty dollars IN her
pocket, good speller, handy and neat
in her house, plenty of good sense, tuff
constitution and by laws, small feet.
The mixture will keep in any climate,
and will not eyaporate. Don't marry
for pedigree unless it is backed by
bank notes. A family with nothing
but pedigree generally lacks sense.

The Lake Charles Echo says that up
TO last Saturday the grand jury had
"found q true bills and s bills not
true" IIow's that, ncighbor =
lOrange Tribune.
AS follows, Brother Harris. When
a grand jury Of this State investigates
q case brought before them and find
enough Of evidence to justify them in
finding bill against The reported
offender, they return into the court
what is called true bill" If there
is lack Of sufficient evidence, or if
the evidence is of an unimportant
character and not strong enough against
the reported offender, they return into
the court what is called "not a true
BILL" because that is the endorsement
written on the back Of such bills. The
prosecuting attorney may in his dis
cretion disregard in all cases except
murder, the return Of the grand Jury
as regards bills thus ignored" and
file what is called "biIl OF informa-
tom" and this bill Of information
is to all intents and purposes eguiva-
lent to a true bill found by the
grand jury, since the party against
whom this bill Of information is
filed is bound to stand trial of what
ever offence may be therein charged
against him. Thus you sec, although
an offender may escape indictment by
the grand jury, still he is liable to be
prosecuted by the prosecuting attor-
noy. Perhaps the Tribune means to
inquire why so maRy true bills we're
found. If SO, we can only say that
many Of them were for minor offences.

How 70 SUCCEED ~ BusIxEss.-It
is bot natural for the majority Of
yonsg men aben about starting out in
business life, 10 wish 10 pursue such a
course a. would give promise Of the
most successful results. But it is
fact that far too many take this in
Pcrtant step without giving due COZ
alteration to the necessary prepara-
iion, and find 10 many instances when
it is too .ate, that through misdirected
efforts their career has been unsuceess-
ful. The course Of discipline and
training which is given at the Missouri
business College, Hannibal, Mo, is
intended especially TO qualify Young
mcn in this respect, and to fit them to
command success in almost every dc
partment of commercial enterprise.

CHsAR's View or DEATH.-Through-
out his career Cesar displayed always
a singular Indifference 10 life. lie had
not much belief in God or the gods.
On such questions he observed from
first to last a profound silence. But
one conviction he had. He intended,
if lac was TO live at all, 10 live master
OF himself 10 matters which belonged
to himself SyIla might kill him if so
minded. 1t was better 10 die. than to
put away a wife vino was the mother
Of his Child, and to marry some other
woman at dictator's bidding. Life
on such terms was not worth keeping.
What joy it is TO read OF one man
in the worlds history who never played
the fool or knaye. On one occasion
the majority of the scnatc-of which
Caesar was then a young member
wished TO COnsign a large humber of
political offenders to capital punish
ment. Caesar opposed this lie CON
tended that death was not punishment
at all. Death was the end of human
sorrow. In the grave there was moth
ing. When a man was dead he ceased
to be. lie became as he had been be-
fore be WAS born. 1t is probable that
almost everyone in the senate thought
as C@sar did on the subject. Cicero
certainly did. Caesar spoke his con
