TOpnOOdy.

Mr.. Topnoody came home early
Wednesday evening, and as his wife had
not begun hersupper arrangements, he
sat down near her and said:
MY dear | had minute for reflec-
ton in my Office to-day, and thought
I'd write some poetry on home"
Drinking again, | suppose" she
answered Significantly.
You should not talk that way, my
dear, for home is word that touches
the hardest hearts and brings back mem
cries as sweet as heavenly music. But
listen, my dear;
"Cling to thy homel If there the meanest shed,
Yield thee hearth and shelter for thy head,
And some poor plot with vegetables stored"
Topnoody,' interrupted his wife,
"did you see that man about spading
up the garden?"
"No, dear, but hear the rest of
this:
"Be all that heaven allots the for thy board,
Unsavory bread and herbs that scattered grow
Wild on the river bank or mountain brow
Ibid you nail that paling on / told
you to this morning?n again inter
rupted Mrs. T.
''No, my dear, but let me finish:
"Yet cen this cherries mansion shall provide
More heart repose than all the world beside"

ayes, my dear
"Well, I'm glad of it. And now 60
back down town and see that man
about the garden, and get some meat
for supper, and hurry back and nail on
that paling, and get me a bucket of
water, and carry in the coal and kind
ling, and grind the coffee, and not sit
around and see your poor wife wear
herself out trying to make home some
thing like. l think when man has
nothing else to do but write poetry, he
had better hire out to maui rails and
let somebody take his place as the head
of the family who knows what his
duties are, and will attend to them in
stead of wasting his time trying to be a
poet. | don't believe you wrote that
anyhow, and i" but Topnoody was
gone, and the poor woman went out in
TO the kitchen to make home "some-
thing like. THE Drummer.

What Thirteen Women Had to Say Over
Fallen Horse.

Thirteen women and one man oc-
cupied seats in street-car coming
down town on Saturday. The Old Con-
ductor was just telling how half-a-
dozen of the boys had retired with for
tunes after an experience of only two
years on the line, when the driver
wound up his brake and brought the
car up with a jerk. The Old Con-
ductor showed up his sleeves, forced
his hat down hard on the back of his
head, cleared the back platform with a
bound, and ran up forward to see what
was up. All the women inside the car
jumped to their feet, and then the en-
tertainment began.
"Why, it's a poor horse" exclaimed
one woman, looking around at the
others.
80 it u.s." said another, land he's
fallen down hole"

why don't they cut the harnessp
Did you eUcr?'
don't believe a single one of them
has got knife! o, just hear that con-
ductor swear!'
Then there was peace in the car for
a moment. The harness was unbuckled
and the old conductor and half-a-dozen
men seized the cart and rolled il off the
track. The woman watched all this in
silence and the solitary man in tho
corner went to sleep. Then they broke
out again:
Well, they hare done it at last"
go, just see that man kick that poor,
poor horse. Isn't it just too brutal for
an thlhS!

They oughn't to let such a looking
horse as that out. He's enough to scare
people. y
We'll, if I'd known he was such a
shadow as that l wouldn't have been
wasting my sympathy"
just then the old conductor rang the
bell and the car started off down the
street with rush. The man in the
corner woke up and the women settled
back in their seats and watched the
horse until he had been left behind out

AgnOsticisnl.

Agnoticism is a sort of supernatural
knownothingism. 1t is true that this
word is not defined in either Webster's
or Worcester's unabridged dictionaries,
except in the supplements to the latest
editions, and does not appear in the
popular encyclopedias. 1t is derived
from Greek word that signifies ito
know not.' Agnosticisms, then, as
used by Herbert Spencer and his disci-
Piles, is the doctrine that, protesting TO-
norance of the supernatural, neither as
serts nor denies the existen ce of a per-
sonal Deity, and claims that such doc
trine can be neither proved nor disap-
proved, because of the insufficiencv of
the evidence furnished by rational and
material nature to warrant a positive
conclusion; or, as others say, because of
the necessary limits of the human mind.
Agnosticism is opposed both to the posi-
tive assertion of the skeptic, who denies
the existence of a personal God, and the
opposite declaration of the Christian
church, or dogmatic theism, affirming
such existence Chicago Inter Ocean.

Messrs. Crippen, Lawrence & Co,

Hamilton 4 Co, and G. +. Faulkner
have united in addressing a circular
to each farmer In Saline county, ask
ing a report Of his wheat and oats
yield. after the completion Of the

trouble for the farmer, and the reports
in the aggregate will make a magnifi-
cent showing for our county. II is TO
be used as an advertisement Of our ag-
ricultural resources, aud scattered far
and wide for the purpose OF securing
our share Of immigration, which we
have thus far by no means received.
IL Is the purpose Of these gentlemen
to have Issued both from the JOURNAL
and Herald offices extra editions OF
about 1900 papers. containing not
only these reports OF farmers but much
information Of a general nature per-
tanning to our county. 1t is asking
but very little Of the farmers 10 take
the interest. in this matter which Is
requested In the circular, and we hope
they will promptly respond. AS for
the town people. they cannot do too
much to aid this move. which must
prove Of great benefit TO all.
