One Of Webster 8 Jokes.

Mr.. Webster was fond of practical
joke, but only of a harmless one. aud
generally a benevolent one. lie had,
in Norfeld, across the river irc IN his
Franklin farm, a small peice of sandy
barren land, with a poor house upon
it, 10 which a very destitute family had
been living some time without paying
any rent. Upon one of his visits to the
place the good woman expressed her
anxiety about being able to remain.
She hoped Mr.. Webster wouldn't be
bard with her. lie heard her through,
and told her, with great gravity, that
he knew it was hard case for her be
wished to consider her, and didn't
wish to be unkind: but he had great
many TO provide for. At the same
time, putting hir had into his pocket,
he took out five dollar bill and hand.
ed it to her, saying he was sorry he
couldn't do better for her, but if she
thought she could afford to stay on the
place another year for that, he should
be very glad, and rode off.

WILL CHAETILLY DE PLLAGEp.-
The friends Of the amiable and popu.
lar princess Of the House of Orleans
are very anxious to see them safely
out Of harms way. Especially are ap.
prehensions entertained on account Of
the Duke of Aumale, whose immense
and priceless collection at Chanlilly
may at any moment be placed in
jeopardy. =
Whenever the bill passes depriving
the princes Of civil rights the Socialists
and communists will need but little
more encouragement to make su at
tack upon their property. That Is he
lieved 20 be inevitable end of the pres
ent legislation. aud sinister tokens OF
the approaching struggle already reach
us from Paris, where II is firmly be-
lieved that expatriation measures will
lead to tho policy Of pHage.

Shall There be Bangs 2
wichita ikAn.) Times.

wichita tkAn) Times.
Bangs on a girl give her an unruly
look, like a COW with board over her
face. You take the gentlest COW in
the world and put board over her
face, aud turn her out in pasture and
she gets the reputation of being unru.
ly, aud you would swear she would
Jump fences and raise merry Hades,
and yon wouldn't give so much for
her by $40 only for beef. 1t is so with
a girl. II she wears her hair high on
her forehead, or brushed bE ok, or even
has frizzes, and has good look, you
will go your bottom dollar on her, and
you feel that she is as good a. gold,
and that when she tells her young man
that she loves him there is no discount
on it, and no giggling back hut take
the same girl, with her front hair
banged. and when she looks at you
you feel just as though she would
huuk. and YOU can't trust her. She
has fence jumping look that makes
young man teel "a though he wouldn't
feel safe unless she was tied hand and
foot. so she couldn't get out of the pas.
ture. A girl with bangs may try to
be good and true but it is awful hard
work. When she looks at herself in
the glass and sees the quarter of an
iuch of forehead she says to herself:
Il am dangerous they want to look
out TOR me-" She thinks she is all
right, but she is constantly doing that
which a girl who wears her hair brush.
ed back would not think of doing.
The bang girl may belong to church,
and may try to put on a pious look
while the hymn is being read. But
she will look out from behind those
bangs sidewise, at some meek and low
ly young Christian who is trying to
get his mind fixed on the hymn, aud
he will get his mind on her, and il
will break him all up. and he won't
know whether he is singing "A charge
to Keep | Have or "She's a Daisy"
The bang girl may place her bangs
down on the back of the pew ahead Of
her during the morning prayer. and
try to be good, but her corset will be
too tight, and as she bitches around to
ease the pain one eye will rise like the
morning sun over the back of the pew,
and that eye will catch the eye of a
young man two seats to the right, who
is trying to cover bis face with one
hand while he tries tn keep the file,
off the Tomade on bis hair with the
other, and bis interest in the prayer is
knocked into q cooked hat. The bang.
lug of girls hair changes the whole
nature Of. the little wretch, and she
becomes as . gun that is not loaded.
You take a picture Of "Evangeline"
and bang her hair, and she would look
as though she would "run at" people.
How w,u'd Mrs. Van CIT, the al
legged female preacher, look with her
hair banged? Il is just the same with
boys. You take q nice, pious Sunday
school boy who can repeat 300 verses Of
the New Testament, and cut his hair
with q clipper. and be looks like Tug
Wilson.

Board of Health.

The annual meeting of the County Board
of Health was called for Tuesday, October
2nd. There were present II. G. Hallowell,
President; DR. i. Il. Stonestreet, Secretary,
aud Hon. Geo. Better,
The small attendance may have been
partly due To the inclement weather, but
principally perhaps 10 the fact the Board
is only advisory In It's character, without
power 10 abate nuisar ces, and therefore had
not maintained It's interest for the commu-
nifty generally.
The Subsidiary Boards have not met, with
the exception d the 9Th, sth and llth dis.
tricts
II Is believed that its existence has not
been without use, as the course Of lectures
delivered through the county by the Pres
dent, the articles Of DIR. Martin on Asiatic
Cholera, Of DR.. Magruder on canned goods
and other communications 10 the President
haye drawn attention 10 sanitary matters
and awakened an interest that will doubt
less increase under all the circumstances
however il is deemed best TO discontinue
the Board as county organization until
legislation has been so shaped as 10 give il
power to act when necessary.
1t is with regret that we have arrived at
the above conclusion and can best hope
that public sentiment will " 10 distant day
demand Its reorganization.

The farmers are busy seeding wheat;
large area will be sown this year.
There seems to be an abundance of quail
pheasants and rabbits this season.
The meeting at Great Falls Saturday was
well attended and quite enthusiastic. Col
VIM. Kilgour delivered an eloquent address
and to the point. The Democracy is un
divided.
Many contractors are visiting the Great
Falls, we suppose to make estimates fol
bids on the contemplated dam. We noticed
Major Thos. p Morgan and Louis p. Stan
hope among them.
Mrs. Saunders, wife of our esteemed fell
low-citizen, John Saunders, Esq, died last
week at the residence of her brother, DIR.
White, at Jacksonville, after protracted
illness.
The canal continues to do a good business
with but little stoppage, as it continues to
be kept in good repair, and the employees
are paid off early each month
At Constable's sale last week, where
household goods were distrained for rent,
leaving the poor wife and children without
any comforts of life, the goods were bou ght
in by the spectators, paid for by them and
leased to the wife and children for long
number of years. This shows what kind
hearted men our community is composed of.
God bless them, the wife said, and God will
reward them.
We hear of bit little malaria on the river
this year. Bass are biting quite freely
mosquitoes are not. The doctors look blue.
The road petitioned for by Chas. E. Hig-
gins, John Collins and Others was not ex-
amined Saturday, owing to the Examiners
failing to put in their appearance. This
road is much needed and should be opened
before bad weather sets in.
We would like to ask why has so much
of our colored labor left us? Farmers have
paid from 81 to $3.50 per day and board for
cutting corn, and they are hard to get at
that
Eleven more voters were registered in the
10th district during the Octorber sitting, 8
whites and colored None were stricken
off, thus making a total of 80 for the year
and IA stricken off, a gain of 90 votes.

Carp Some eighteen months ago about
two dozen small carp were placed in the ice
pond Of Mrs. s. d. Higgins, near this place,
and not having beeR seen since that time,
it was supposed. that they had failed 10

ing on: the pond IL was found to be literally
alive with this species of fish, some of them
eighteen inches lang and weighing thFoe
pounds This pond embraces about one
third Of an acre and averages four feet in
depth. This is another evidence of the ease
with which these fish may be raised by
those having facilities for the Construction

Comic Opera.-'rhe entertainment given
at the Town Hall on Friday night last by
the Washington ideals" is pronounced by
all present To have been the finest per-
formanee they ever witnessed in the Hall.
The singing was eNoellont and tho different
characters were trnthfully represented with
ease and grace, and without any of those
hats and blunders 50 often seen In the per-
Torrance of amateurs. Owing to the fact
that the performance was not advertised far
enough in advance the Hall was not en-
tirely filled, but so we'll were those present
pleased that we predict On oyeraowlng
house to the company on their neyt APP
pearance here, which We hope will not be
far In the future.

Foot Disease in Cattle This disease

is prevailing to some extent in different
parts of the country, and when taken in
time can be easily cured, and if permitted
to run will result in loss of the afflicted
stock and spread among others.
Equal parts of carbolic acid and linseed oil
is good remedy if applied as soon as the dis
ease makes its appearance. Wash the sore
feet clean and apply the remedy, and one
application will generally make cure, if
not repeat until cured. As we notice in our
exchanges this disease is prevailing to great
extent among the cattle in England.
