In winter and early spring, to keep up
egg production, the fowls must have some
tEing to work on. The best way to supply
them, if there is not enough OF waste meat
scraps from the breeders table to meet the
required demand, is to get scraps from the
butcher or slaughter house. The waste
meat, offal and the bloody pieces which
are unstable, can be bought for cent
or two pound.

Laura remembered afterward that
he did not tell her his name. This

one of the board, l believe" "He
is treasurer" "You taught in
good district. Some of them make
their teachers wait for their pay,
but believe this one never does ~
Il think not" "Have you long to
teach ?" said the man, evidently
bent on being sociable.
"My school is DONE" said Laura,
still wholly unsuspicious. "And
you've been after your money" said
the man, with a sudden change of
manner; land I'll take it," drawing
a revolver and pointing it at her
head. No use to try to resist. They
were passing through a lonely strip
of woods, not house near them.
She was frontier girl with plenty
OF nerve. She remembered she had
two pocket books, one empty and
one full.
III you want my money, get it,"
she said, sEatching the empty
pocket-book from her pocket and
throwing it as far as possible be-
hind them into the snow. The
man sprang after it. She caught
the whip from its socket and laid it
sharply, with all her force, the full
length of Banquo's nervous back.
With mad plunge, he was offlike
lightning. The man opened the
pocket-book, and, enraged at his de-
feat, fired a couple of shots after he1

Happy Homes.

We pity the man, however pros
porous his pecuniary condition, or
however great his fame, who has
not a happy home A happy home
is the heaven of this life. Yet
many of our most distinguished
men have not been fortunate in this
respect. They have been made to
feel how unsatisfactory was the
worlds applause, or the possession
of official power, while all was
cold or heartless and unsympathiz-
ing in their private homes. And
these unhappy matches have not
always, or generally, been made
from motives Of ambition. They
have seemingly been the misfor-
tune Of chance. But what a mis-
fortunel All the distinctions in the
world afford no compensation for
such deprivation. There is some
thing inexplicable about many
matches. A young couple marry
from actual preference for each 9TH
er, and from no motive but sincere
affection but want Of congenial-
ity is subsequently developed, and
a wretched home for life is the re-
suit. Blessed indeed, and most
highly favored are they whose homes
from the beginning to the end are
always happy Anon.

If l Could Keep Her So.

Just baby, lying in my arms,
Would that could keep you with your baby
charms;
Helpless, clinging fingers; downy, golden
hair,
Where the sunshine fingers. caught from
everywhore;
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot
speak,
Roly-poly shoulders, dimples in your check.
Dainty little blossom, in n world of woe:
Thus fain would keep you, for love YOU so.
Roguish little damsel scarcely six years old .
Feet that never weary, hair of deeper gold;
Qestless, busy fingers, all The time al play
Tongue that nevet ceases talking all the day
Blue eyes learning wonders of the world
about,
Here you come to tell them-what AN eager
shout,
Winsome little damsel all the neichbors
know:
Thus long to keep you, for love you So
Sober little school girl, with your strap of
books;
And such grave importance in your puzzled
looks;
Solving weary croblems, porting Deer sums
Yet with tooto for sponge cake and for sugar
plums;
Reading books of Iamance in your bed al
night,
waxing up to study in the morning light;
Anxious as to ribbons, deft TO tie a bow,
Full of contradictions, I would keep youso.
Sweetand thoughtfusmaiden, sitting by my
side,
All the worlds before thee, and the world is
wide;
Hearts are there for winning, hearts ar,
there to break,
Has your own, shy maiden. Just begun t
wake?
Is that rose OF dawning glowing on your
cheek,
Telling in bushes, what yoQ will MOI
speak?
Shy and gentle m alden, would fain forego
ARthe golden future. just to keep you so.
All the listening angels saw that she wa
fair;
Ripe for rare unfy lding in the upper air;
Now the rose of dawning turns to lily white
And the closeshut eyelids veil the eyes from
sight.
All the past summon, as | kiss her brow:
Babe, and child and maiden, all are with m,
now.
oh! my heart is breaking; but Gods love
know;
Safe among the angels, he will keep her so

The young Queen Of Spain has
had a happy summer in the uncer-
emonious retirement of La Granja.
She drives her spirited ponies about
the grounds, Mrs. Hooper says, Civ
ing a smile and pleasant word to
every one she meets. She looks very
pretty in her white muslin gowns
and shady garden hats, such attire
suiting her beautiful slender figure
better than the heavy fabrics which
must be worn on State occasions.
She is fond little mother and may
often be seen driving out with the
small princess and holding the ba-
by's soft hand in her own.

LAURA'S STRATEGY.

Laura had taught her school, and
now she was going to get her mon
ey-three months wages. She had
earned thirty dolla,daa month, and
she had paid her board in sewing
and huntingdon Mrs. Bennett had
q large family, and was glad to do
so, so she could have the whole
ninety dollars to use as she pleased.
1t looked like very large amount
to her, and she planned how she
was to spend it a dozen times. "The
boys want the workhorses to draw
in wood" Mrs. Bennett said, as she
started, $50 John has hitched up
Banquo for you. He's gentle
enough, but he's a colt, mind We,
and the best thing ye could do is to
let the whip alone" No need Of the
whip, she thought, as the sleigh
glided smoothly and swiftly over
the well-trodd9n road. She was
quite surprised when she so soon
came in sight of the house where
the treasurer lived. He was at the
door when she drove up. "Pll hitch
your horse for ye," he said, coming
down to the gate; "come after your
money, I s'pose. I've got it in here,
all ready for you. It's lucky you
come now, was just about startin'
off. Got the colt, have you? Wall,
Iswanl he's a clipper; didn't
s'pose Bennett I'D let anybody drive
him. Come in; I'll sign your order
and pay you right off; s'pose you
want to see your money-pretty
good bunch of chink for a girl like
you"
Laura talked with the treasurer's
wife a while, then got her money
and started home. She had not
gone far before a man ON foot came
out of cross-road just in front Of
her. He stepped aside and waited
for her to come up. Good afternoon,
school-ma'am," he said; "would
you object to letting fellow ride a
little? Pm pretty tired, and | see
you've got Benefits colt; I'd like
to ride behind him once" Laura
stopped che horse, and the man got
into the sleigh. She did not know
him, but from the way he spoke she
supposed it must be one of the
neighbors who knew her; probably
a brother of one of her SCHOLARSHIP
was young man. II see you don't
know me" he said it isn't strange,
you see so many; I've been around
here all winter" he added, but

The Dime Novel-Its Effects.

On several occasions the BAN
NER has referred to the deleter-
ious effects of reaping dime nov
els, police gazettes and similar
pernicious literature on the
minds of the young. Saturday
afternoon from BRENNAN four
boys, whose ages range from II
to 10 years, concluded to see
the wide, wide world on their
own account and free from the
restraints imposed by stern and
careful parents, who in the esti-
nation Of the boys are old fos-
sis or fogies. The first thing
was to organize committee on
finance; after a little rustling the
sum of nine dollars was raised;
next thing to be considered
was the commissary depart
ment; the mother of one of the
Adventures had very recently
billed" a ham; billed ham makes
a good lunch and the boy
Caught on" to the ham: some
crackers and cheese were pro-
cured and each boy was provi-
ded with a haversack aud each
haversack was numbered as fol-
lows I, 2, 8, 4, the numbers
corresponding with the number
of boys. Next thing to be
done was to secure the neces-
sary fire arms and ammunition.
One of the youths conhscated
his fathers faithful revolver, a
revolver that was kept at home
as a protection against sneak
thieves and tramps; the other
three boys had a shot gun
apiece; they also carried n
ample supply of fishing tackle
and is supposed they are going
to New Mexico to kill Indians
and scout on the plains, as one
them had lately been seen read
ing the life and adventures of |
Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill or some
thing of that kind. As they all
started up the Santa Fe road in
the direction of New Mexico it
is only fair to presume that that
IS their destination. As one or
two of the young adventures
mas ran off before no effort will
De made to interfere with them
as when they get tired they will
De glad enough to get back

The colored wedding at the
court house last Saturday night
was duly reported in these col
umns. Now comes the sequel.
The mother of the recreant
youth, who was married, visit
ed him and his bride on the
following Tuesday and with a
four-year old hickory, a stick,
a club, a fral, baton or some
other hand instrument she ad-
ministered a thorough and
complete drubbiug to her dear
ly beloved and newly married
offspring. The frailed youth
made a complaint before JUS
tice Hackworth charging his
mother with assault and bat
terry, and upon hearing of the
case she was fined and trimmed
to the extent of SIS which sum,
to the delight of the court, she
promptly paid.

CLEVER RoBBERY.-The var
ious tricks and subterfuges re-
storted to by thieves are numer-
Gus aud sometimes very skill
fully conceived and adroitly
executed. We have a case in
point. Last week Mr.. Andrew
Bulls, a thrifty farmer living in
the J. G. Lieb neighborhood,
sold lot Of sheep and got the
cash for them. A thief living
in the neighborhood coveted
the money-how to get it was
the problem that he had to
wrestle with. Mr.. Bulls keeps
two good watch dogs that are
always on the alert for night
providers. The thief was aware
that Mr.. B. had bad dogs on his
premises and in order to get into
the house without having to
contend with the watch dogs.
He mustered up a couple of bad
tempered dogs of his own and
took them with him to BIS
house. The natural conse-
quence of this proceeding was
a sanguinary dog fight, all the
dogs engaging in the battle
while Mr.. BIS. dogs were busy
fighting they had no time to at
tend to the thief, who entered
the dwelling through window
and stole ss5 in currency ont
Of a bureau drawer, hut failed
to discover so in silver in the
same drawer and very close to
the currency. He made his
escape with the money and Mr..
Bulls has no idea who he was,
but is satisfied that he was
well acquainted with the
premises.

1t is with a sad heart that
have to report a willful murder
which took place in our towr
to-day. George Sibley and
Anil Tom were joking one
another about a young lady and
quarreled. Sibley called Tom
a liar, Tom replied that he was
another. Sibley then struck
Tom with a lemon squeezer
knocking him down, he then
drew his pistol and shot him
through the heart, the ball en-
tering in the back and coming
out in the breast. Tom rose and
run about ten steps falling dead.
Sibley gave himself up to the
citizens; public opinion is
against him. Tom was Ger
