A Just Rebuke.

The Kokoma Dispatch relates an
incident that occurred in the Courtroom
.in that city during the recent term of
the Circuit Court, which placed Mr..
Milton Garrigps at the mercy of Ed
ward I. johnson, Esq, affording MIR.
johnson an opportunity to administer
to the Kokomo attorney rebuke as
severe as was merited. Mr.. John
son is quite deaf, and the infrmity is
so serious as to require the constant use
of an ear trumpet. The man Garrigus
made the use of the trumpet the occa-
sion for sundry vulgar filings and jeers.
In his closing speech, Mr.. johnson re-
ferred to the matter as follows:
Several times during the trial the
gentleman has sneered contemptuouslY
at my in6rmity, and at the unsightly
ear-trumpet which it compels me to
use. My dear sir, if this trumpet is so
distasteful to you, try to imagine how
loathsome it is to me. never look at
it without shudder. My hand never
touches it that | do not struggle with
the impulse to fling it from me as the
most hideous thing on earth. Should
you put that trumpet to your ear you
would hear sounds that would make
your very eyeballs start from the sock
cts. You would hear the heaving and
tossing of the most dreadful pillows o.
suffering that ever rolled across a hu
man soul. You would hear grooming
, unutterable, denoting the agony botf
mental and physical, through which
have passed during the last FIVE years
You would hear the fierce shock of ;
, lofty ambition suddenly dethroned, an(
the tumbling and falling of crushed
and ruined hopes. Try again, anC
> you may hear the heart-broken cry o
a young father, as he strained his dea
ears in vain to catch the last whispered
!, words of his dying child. Jesus Christ
blessed be His sacred name, often wept
but never jeered at the misfortunes @
:, humanity. My friend, l know 70
=, did not mean what you said. >Th
words came from your lips, not you
heart. And | now give back you
filings with this assurance: If tn
heavy hand of misfortune should eve
be laid on you, stripping you of you
> splendid and perfect manhood, in a
p" the wide world no heart will offer 20
y more profound and sincere sympath
:, than mine.

Where Home Sweet Home was

we were strolling around the quad

Scroiruiia.

This dreaded disease each year
counts its victims by millions. Though
in many cases congenital or rather
hereditary affection, and therefore pro-
nounced almost an incurable one, yet
there is no need for the sufferer to des-
pair of relief or even of entire eradiction
of the virus which preys upon the con-
stitution and saps the strength. The
march of science is ever onward, and
its triumpbs are recorded at every step
in the history of the human race. In
no other direction have the researches
of those who love their fellow.men been
more laborious nor at the same time
have they been more prolific of results
than in the investigation of scrofulou'
diseases. These studies have produced
at last an almost perfect anhdote fol
scrofulous poison, in the form of Ed
ward Wilder's Sarsaparilla and Potasl
and the remedy may be had of all re
spectacle druggists. Ask for it.

Familiar Maxims that are Used With

Many of our common sayings, so

more of these familiar maxims than
