He was awfully astonished, and though he
wouldn't say anything to hurt Mr. Martins
feelings he didn't seem to care much for
mine or Mr.. Withers's, and when Mr.. Ira
vers finally came down, father told him that
he was a nice young man, and that the
whole house might have been murdered by
burglars while he was enjoying himself in
the front parlor.
Mr.. Martin went home after he got little
of the milk and soap and ashes and things
off of him, but he was too angry to speak
Mr.. Withers said he would never enter the
house again, and Mr.. Travers didn't even
wait to speak to Sue, he was in such rage
with Mr. Withers After they were all
gone, Sue told father that it was all my fault,
and father said he would attend to my case
in the morning; only when the morning
came, he told me not to do it again, and that
was all.
/ admit that did do wrong, but I didn't
mean it, and my only desire was to help my
dear sister. You won't catch me helping
her again very soon.-Harper's Young People

CLoCKs.-Clocks were timely and strik-
ing invention, commonly used to prevent the
/ sun from getting ahead of its record and to
provide people with an opportunity to won
der how far wrong they are.
The facial expression like some menl in
variably betrays the internal construction.
and any disturbance depicts itself very plain.
Iy. A clock never travels on the square If
always goes round, and. singular though il
may seem, clocks are generally trusted, and
yet they continually go on "tick"
They are also an exception to the rule of
busy hands being outof mischief, for although
no one will dispute that the clocks hands are
busy, yet they can raise more trouble he
tween railroad train and man than anv-
thing else yet invented. Railroad clocks are
always kept wrong, as this prevents the sta
tion master from explaining the difference
between the trains and the time
Clocks are very selfish. II they don't have
a good time anywhere they go, and they 90
everywhere, they viii cause everybody near
them to have poor time, too. Clocks are
well enough in their places, but inst let them
get loose once When clock begins to run
down, and you are afraid Of losing time. inst
turn the key on it to prevent its escape.
This treatment usually winds up the move
ments of the clock for the time, and that
most effectually.
Some clocks are connected with a noise
which is to all appearances entirely innocent
of any connection with the time of the clock.
At least the attempt to regulate it by the
time has been practically abandoned as hope
less,

TIE DEMOCRATIC FLAG.

Fling out the old flag to the breeze,
With not one blot to mar or dim 1t,
Freed from all subtle falsities
It's mighty influence to limit.
Inspiring confidence and cheer
That fraud and wrong will flee before IL,
And once again the sky be clear,
As right and justice shall restore it.
Too long cOrrupting compromise
Has tended to Tetard its flowing,
And action. neither good nor wise,
Impaired its pristine features glowing.
For principle. not men, 1t stood,
And patriotic eyes, uplifted,
Saw but the lands beatitude
Where its exalting blazOn drifted.
Prosperity, and strength, and peace
It guaranteed and gave the nation,
with luxurious increase
OF all that dignified her station.
Our flag, the worlds respect inspired,
Official word was law when spoken,
No trading craft the statesman fired,
No fostered III nor promise broken.
It waved above an honest land,
Unsmurched by theft in highest places
For equal laws for all that's grand
And lust in governmental graces,
The poor mans pride-assurance lent
That poor and rich were like respected
Who in its shadow felt content,
And taxes mild his toll protected.
1t waved benson on trade,
And finance fixed secure and stable,
Monopoly shrank back, dismayed
BY codes restrictive, wise and able.
For strict economy it flew,
Unstained by Sordid greed's pollution,
The cOuntry'S good alone in view,
It's breath of life the constitution.
All who that once has felt its sway,
So Just, and true, and salutaTy,
Can from its presence turn away
And Join the phalanX mercenary-
The creatures who, with greedfIl grasp,
Count party calling public duty,
And with tenacious fingers clasp
Their cOuntry's dues as private booty? p?
But. up the flag it still shall wave,
Though clouds and tempests may assail
it:
Full competent IS it to brave
The blast. as patriots to the masthead
nail it.
And freed from past attaining sin,
1t will he hailed with acclamatiOn,
Through principle divine 20 win,
And wave IN triumph DER the nation.

GIVE NOTICE.-Nowadays anything 'well
advertised" has only one risk. and that is of
selling at a better price. This applies to real
estate as well a. to personal prOperty-in
city, town and country. 1t always pays to
well advertise anything you have to sell.
The observant seller will tell you this. Many
a good sale has been missed, and all the ex-
penSe incurred except the cost of good ad-
vertising, by the spiggot vs.. bung process of
trying to save few dollars in advertising.
Nobody was ever damaged by any money
expended in good and proper advertising. 1t
always pays Columbia Herald.

A SCANDAL THAT DRBw.-The venerable
clergyman arose slowly in the pulpit, and
glancing around on the thinly scattered con-
gregation, said in an emphatic tone, in which
there was more of sorrow than of anger {:
'My beloved brethren, am in hopes there
will be more present next Sabbath, as / will
then have occasion to reveal a scandal which
has long oppressed my heart 1t concerns
the members of this church very deeply, and
no one who has regard for eternal happiness
should be absent" When benedictiOn was
pronounced the handful of people slowly
dispersed, but behold how much good seed a
handful can scatter. The next Sabbath the
sacred edifce was packed. There was, in
deed, hardly breathing room when the white
haired sage once more lifted his head above
the pulpit cushions, and a silence of death
fell upon the expectant thrOng, He stood a
moment looking upon the unwOnted scene,
and then his voice in silvery cadences broke
the hush of anticipation. Dear friends, -
he said, ''tbe scandal l would reveal is this
you viii gather in this place in crowds to
hear mischievOus gossip, but will not listen
to explanations of the inspired word. Now,
my children, 1 offer my resignation. I am
going to Europe for six months and shall
paw nv own expenses" But no one of the
vast multitude took the lesson to himself !;
he applied it to his neighbor.

PECK's Sun tells of a mischievOus Mil
waukee boy, who, just before the return OF
his mother from summer resort, filled his
fathers room with feminine apparel. The
boy says; Il slipped up stairs and looked
over the bannisters Ma said something
about heavens and earth, and where is the
huzZy, and a lot of other things l cOuldn
hear and pa said damfinO and said it's no
such thing and the door slammed, and they

MAKING MONEY.-Why some men are so
eager to earn money is problem; they GER
tainly do not spend it freely. They care
nothing ior the good things of life. They
seem to value money for its own sake. Most
men start in life with bright object before
them, the means for attaining which is mon
ey, and so they resolve to make money
But the means push the end out of sight A
new fascination springs mp, which oanishes
the young dream. The real pushes the ideal
from its seat. Money acquires, or appears
to acquire, a value Of its own; it becomes
both means and end and making it grows
into habit seldom lost. The proyerb
saws. use is second nature" " and it is fully
proved when the natural desire Of men for
happiness Is so obliterated by the habit OF
making money.

and 1t advises coal buyers to insist on
having their coal dry, and then wet 1T
to suit. AS to the current idea tha

was made recently at Bochum, Ger

and dry bituminious coal in the maxi
ing of steam. Washed slack, holding

per pound of fuel; while the same coal,
with only 8 per cent. of water, made

is found to be a direct loss by using

In consequence of the striking OF
the Reno and Grandin wells the in
terest in Garfield City in again reviv-
ing. Garfield is only six miles distant
from either well, and instead of run
ing the risk of building up a new
house near those wells, it is believed
that Garfield will derive the benefit
of this travel and trade and get new
lease of life and activity. The owners
of the Warren q Farnsworth Valley
railroad will probably find it to their
interest to extend the narrow-gauge
road from Garfield directly south
about five miles, which will bring
them just midway between the Reno
and Grandin wells, and near enough
to either for all practical purposes

Sneak Thief CaDtured.

At o'clock yesterday morning, w.
H. Schram, proprietor of the Hyde
House, this place, was awakened by
his wife with theinfornation that some
one was in the room. Mr.. Schram
at once arose and followed the thief
who had left the room and endcavored
to go down stairs. The thief was
mistaken i'm bis location of the sur
rOundings, and instead of going down
stairs he ran into another room where
some girls were sleeping. Mr.. Schram
yrasped him by the throat and threw
him into ;hc room h" had Just left,
and, graSpiug II large iron stove poker,
stood guard over the prisoner until
Mrs. Schrum awoke the bar tender,
and other men about the house who at
once took the thief into custody and
landed him safely in Jail. There was
about Sl4 in silver quarters in Mr..
@chram's pants pockets. This the
thief succeeded in getting with the
exception of four quarters. He had
lett the outside door open, his boots at
the foot Of the stairs, and his coat Just
outside the door, SO that his plan for
retreat was Il good one, but failed rs
we have noted by his taking Il wrong
direction. IN his vest pocket wa,
found Il good supply of provision.
which showed that he had been hav.
ing something TO eat before he com
menced to look for money.

Serious Accident,

At one O'Clock to-day E. Gross, a
boy of sixteen years, son of G. Gross,
who lived in the house near the iron
bridge, while working in the bark mill
at Osterhout's tannery was drawn
into the chains connected with
the machinery which tore the flesh al
most entirely off from the back por-
ton of his right leg from the knee
down. He was otherwise injured. He
was taken to DR.. Williams office, and
DR.. Waid and Woodruff called in. In
response to telegram Doctor Hart
man, of st. Marys, came down OH the
mail. On a consultation of the ply
sicians it was found necessary to am
putate the leg just above the knee.
This is a peculiarly deplorable case as
the parents of the boy are poor people
and depending on the boys help to
support the family. Now the labor OF
the boy is lost besides the expense at.
tendant on the sad accident.
