AN EDITORS TROUSERS.

An editor in Chicago recently ordered
a pair of trousers from the tailor. On
trying them on they proved to be several
inches too long. 1t being l. to on Satur-
day night, the tailor's shop was closed,
and the editor took the trousers to his
wife and asked her to cut them off and
hem them over. The good lady, whose
dinner had perhaps disagreed with her,
brusquely refused. The same result fol-
lowed an application to the wife's sister
and to the eldest daughter. But before
bedtime the wife relenting, took the
pants, and cutting off six inches from the
legs, hemmed them up nicely and re.
stored them to the closet. Half an hour
later the daughter taken with compunc-
ton for her unfilial conduct, took the
trousers, and cutting off six inches, hem.
med and replaced them. Finally, the
sister-in-law felt the pangs of conscience,
and she too performed an additional sur
gical operation on the garment. When
the editor appeared at breakfast on Sum-
day the family thought a Highland chief
tian had arrived.

MOTHERS TURN.

at is mothers turn to be taken care
Of now"
The speaker was winsome young girl
whose bright eye, fresh color and eager
looks told of light-hearted happiness.
Just out of school, she had the air Of Gull
ture which is an added attraction to Q
blithe young face. 1t was mothers turn
now. Did she know how my heart went
ont for her unselfish words?
Too many mothers, in their love Of
their daughters, entirely overlook the
idea that they themselves need recreation.
They do without all the easy, pretty and
charming things, and say nothing, and
the daughters do not think there is any
self-denial involved. Jennie gets the new
and mother wears the old one, turned
upside down and wrong side out. LUCY
goes on the mountain trip, and mother
stays at home and keeps house. Emily
is tired of study and must lie down in the
afternoon; but mother, though her back
aches, has no time for such recreation.
Girls, take good care of your mothers.
Coax them to let you relieve them Of
some of the harder duties which. for
years, they have patiently borne.

THE COLORED JURYMAN.
He Was Afraid He Would be Hanged
Instead of the Prisoner.

From the Galveston News.
Gen. Thomas Harrison, who was COM
mander of Texas regiment during the
war, and known by the boys as the ".Jim
Town Major was soon after the war
elected judge of one of the districts of
Texas. Shortly after bis election he
visited one of the counties in his district
for the purpose of holding his court. He
arrived at the county town on Sunday
evening and sent for the sheriff and
asked him if jury had been summoned
for the court, and if any upon the jury
were colored.
The sheriff replied he had summoned
a jury, but there were no colored men on
the jury, and but few in the county.
Judge Harrison told him, under the
recent order of the department COM
mander, no legal jury could be impan-
eled unless one or more negroes were on
it, and ordered him to have some ne
groes in attendance on the following
morning to be placed upon the jury.
The sheriff after some trouble, sue
ceeded in finding three or four negroes,
and, upon organizing the court, Judge
Harrison, placed one on each jury.
About the first case called was one
against a party for murder. After hear
ing the evidence, arguments of counsel
and charge of the court the Jury started
down stairs to consider their verdict, the
colored juror happening to be in the rear.
Following them was the attorney for
defendant. At the head of the stairs
(and in hearing Of the colored juror the
attorney was asked by a friend how he
thought the case would be decided. The
reply was. Il think the defendant will be
acquitted and the jury will be hung
The jury went down the steps and out
in the yard and upon looking around
the colored member was missing. Upon
investigation they saw him making 2:I0
time in the direction OF the brush. Tie
sheriff was called, and after vigorous
pursuit, Mr.. Juror was captured ard
brought before the court and asked why
he had run away. His reply was: 'ie
had heard Il gentleman say i, the man
wasn't cleared the jury would be hung,
and as he hadn't done nothing he didn't
want to take any chances

ONE BACHELOR OF MANY.

There's one thing to the ladies plainly wish
to say:
I'm a man of no pretenses; I'm fifty, day;
I'm neither gay nor amiable, Pm tussy, and
I'm plain;
But, girls, you needn't plot for me-ali plot
ting is in vain.
l never see the brightest eyes, and all their
witchery
Is wasted ammunition, if its aim is hurt
ing me:
neve. see the reddest lips, I'm proof against
all smiles:
| rather think I'm not the man for any wo-
mans wiles.
l can sew on my own buttons, my stockings
can mend,
And women's hands around my room are
not what I intend
l want no knitted, Melted things, no travel
ling bags, no wraps,
No slippers and no comforters, no painted
plaques, 10 caps.
| buy the things that | require: so, ladies,
hear me say,
All such attentions spent on me are simply
thrown away:
So shake your curls and give your gifts, he
wilder all you can,
But just remember, if You please, thai fam
not the man.
I've heard there's twenty one old maids
consider he their "fate,''
And clever widows five or six that wish
with me to mate:
There's pretty schoolgirls who insist l
Unjust have had some loss,''
And say I'm $50 romantic when I'm only
tired or cross.
But, ladies, all attentions from this date l
hope will cease:
The only favor that | ask, is to lie left in
peace:
For | consider one thing sure as anything
l will not marry any girl, and none shall
marry me.
That's Just exactly what he said about a
year ago.
Now. if you could but see his rooms, the y
are perfect show
of Melted things, and knitted things, and
painted plaques and screens,
OF photographs Of famous men, and Beau
tvs living queens:
While on the hear III stone sits his wife
she's sweet and good, l know.
And if YOU tell HIN of the words he said a
year ago,
lie answers you, without a blush, "Oh, that 5
the usual way;
No one believes single word Old bachelors
may say:
When the right angel comes along, they
marry any day" ME-.

Snow and Ice-Eating.

The attention of the boys and girls Is
directed to the following, taken from a
contemporary:
"rhe practice of eating snow and ice,
50 common to children of the Northern
States, is fruitful cause of catarrh 1t
is common to see boys and girls devour a
SNOWFALL as though it were an apple, or
icicle as though it were bit of candy.
The hard palate which forms the roof of
the mouth also forms the roof % the hos
trils and is no thicker than pastcboard.
The chilling effect Of snow and ice
brought freely in contact with this thin
partition, the upper covering of which is
a sensitive secreting membrane, made up
almost wholly of fine blood-vessels and
nerves, produces a congestion often sue
ceeded by chronic inflammation. As a
consequence these snow and ice-eating
boys and girls almost always have colds in
the head and running noses.n

the leaves of chestnut tree, the boy

A WARNING TO PARENTS
From the Arkansas Traveller.

From the Arkansas Traveller.
Few people seem to properly estimate
the great wrong of frightening children.
Nearly every household has its ugly
Old man." or its great old bear" This
terrible old man and this great old bear
are powerful factors in nursery disci-
pine. Come along here now,"
mother or nurse will say to child, land
let me put you to bed" 81 don't want
to go now,' the child replies. you'd
better come on here now, or I'll tell that
ugly old man to come and take you
away. There he comes now" This has
the intended effect, and the child, tremb-
ling in fear, submits at once and goes TO
bed, probably to see in imagination all
kinds of horrible faces.
The sad death of little girl, which
occurred recently, shows what strong
impression these ''boogers' make on the
minds of children. The little girl was a
beautiful child, and every one at the
fashionable boarding house where her
parents were spending the summer
months loved her with that purity of
affection which child so gently yet SO
strongly inspires. She would stand at
the gate and clap her little hands in glee
when her father came to dinner, and
when he would take her on his shoulder,
she would shout and call to every one to
look how high she was. One day
large, shaggy dog came into the yard,
and when she ran to him and held
flower to his nose, he growled and
turned away. She was terribly frigh-
tened, and the black nurse, who stood
near, was not slow in making mental
note of the impression the dog had made.
Several nights afterward, when bedtime
came, the child was unusually wakeful.
"Yer'd better come heah an git in dis
bed, the nurse commanded.
Il don't want to-"
"All right, den. Use gwine out an
call dat ole dog what growled at yer.
When he comes an fms yer outen do
bed. he'll bite yer head off,
The little child grew deathly pale.
"Nuthin' would suit dat dog better
den ter git a chance at yer. 'Tother
night he cotch little girl across de road
an eat her all up
The child screamed.
"Come on here den, an l won't let
him ketch yer"
The poor little thing obeyed. Her
father and mother were at an entertain
ment and there was no appeal from the
negro woman's decision. When MORN
ing came the little girl did not awake
with her glad good mornin' papa an
mamma She had tossed all night and
hot fever had settled upon her. She
grew rapidly worse, and the next day
the physician declared that there was no
hope for her. She became delirious, and
struggling would exclaim:
"Dog shan't have mammals little
girl?'
1t was a sorrowing circle that sur
rounded her death bed The parents
were plunged into a grief which
but the hearts of fathers and moGfieqsA
can feel.
Her last moments were a series Of
struggles. How hard the beautiful can
die. She wildly threw up her little
lands and shrieked;
go away, dog"
\ gentle hand wiped the death froth
from her lips.
Again she struggled and shrieked:
DOG shan't have but she died ere
the sentence was finished.

How Prairie Dogs Get Water.

1t has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as to how and where prairie
dogs, living on the prairie, far away from
any river or stream, obtain their water.
Mr.. F. Leecii. frontiersman of expert
encc, asserts that the dogs dig their own
wells. each village having one with a con-
cealcd opening. He knows of one such
we'll 200 feet deep, and having circular
staircase leading Down to the water.
Every time a dog wants to drink he de-
sends the staircase, which, considering
the distance, is no mean task. In dig
gin% for water the animals display as
mitch pluck as they do in resisting the
efforts Of settlers to eXpel them from the
land Of their progenitoIs.

Dan CusteIlO's New Circus.

There is probably no man living to-day
who has had better success, or made more
friends, or won more laurels in the show
business than Dan CASTILLO. From the
time he first reformed with his little
trained bull in New York until now his
popularity has grown. He is known
throughout America and Europe as man
of integrity, sObriety, honesty and of in
dOmitable perseverance. This enviable
reputation Mr.. CASTILLO has gained by
dealing fairly with his patrons, the pub
lie; by fulfilling his every promise and by
constant hard brain, and hand work. 1t
has ever been his aim to elevate and bet
ter his profession, and his labOrs have
been highly successful. In the
organization of the Nickel Plate
circus Mr.. CASTILLO has embodied
all of worth that he has gained
from the experience of years. He has
built new circus, after his own plans
and ideas and from new material. He
has built circus for the people, has en-
gagged the very best talent of the country
and will introduce features that will
be new, novel and pleasing. Dan Cas-
tellO's Nickel Plate circus will exhibit
at Cheboygan, Friday May 25th.
