An Important Errand.

A. conductor on Missouri, Kansas and
Texas train approached swell-looking
colored woman ,arrayed in all the glories
that ribbons can lend, and asked her for
her ticket.
go way fun yah. DON bodder me
with none yo' foolishness." she ex-
claimed, bridling with indignation.
Come. give up your ticket, remon-
strated the conductor.
81 tole yo' go way fam yah. / done
got no ticket, an don want no foolish
ness"
''If you don't give me ticket or pay
your fare, I'll put you off the train, .
growled the exasperated functionary
''Yo' don put me off no train, now, I
tole yo' fer suahr' retorted the darkey.
Use got biziness down yere dat yoa
can't postpone. Eff you put me off de
train, yo' done got in a fuss, suah's yo'
bo'n!"
"Where are you going, anyway?
What's your business?" demanded the
conductor, rather impressed by her
manner.
Use gwine to de hangin' piece down
yere, an mon dat, Use gwine, an yo'
can't stop mer'
Whore they going to hang2" asked
a passenger. who had become interested
in the discussion.
''Dey's gwine fer ter hang my hus-
band, and Ise ter be de only lady pres
ent. Go way fun yah. Don fool with
me. Ef yo' think yo's gwine ter get me
off dis train an beat me out'n de last

strength of a wife's Devotion! Go way
fun yah. Rudder dan lose de chance
of breakin' dem nigga's hearts, done
put dis heel under 20 railroad an lift it
over de state line. Go way fum y'ah!''
The conductor let her ride free, but
whether TO save the railroad or let her
have a last opportunity to get square
with her mother-in-law, was not appar
ent on his returns.-Drake's Magazine.

The Right Kind OF a Man.

Choose q man who has plenty to occu-
by his mind. Not necessarily a great
deal of money or real estate, but one
whose mind is active, and who will be
likely to find plenty to look after outside
of the house and home. That woman is
wise who chooses for her partner in life
q man who desires to find his home
place of rest. It is the man with many
with plenty of people to fight, with a
struggle to maintain against the world,
who is the really domestic man in the
wife's sense; who enjoys home, who is
tempted to make friend of his wife, who
relishes prattle, who feels in the home
circle, where nobody is above him and
nobody unsympathetic with him ,as if he
were in a haven of ease and relaxation.
The drawback of home life, its contain
ing possibilities of insipidity, sameness,
and consequent wear1ness, is never pres
ent to such a man. He no more tires of
his wife and children than of his own
happier moods. He is no more bored
with home than with sleep. All the
monotony and weariness of life he en-
counters outside. It is the pleasure-lov
ing man; the merry companion, who re-
quires constant excitement, that finds
home life unendurable. He soon grows
weary of it, and finds everything so tame
that it is impossible for him to be happy
or not to feel that he is less unhappy
there than elsewhere.
We do not mean that the true domestic
man will be always at home. The mar
always at home has not half the
chance of the man whose duty il
outside of it, for he cannot help being
sometimes in the way. The point fo
| the wife is, that he likes his home wher
he is there; and that liking, we contend
belongs first of all to the active ant
strong and deeply engaged, and not *
the lounger, or even easy-minded man
The only point to guard against is tina
he does not become so deeply engrosset
in his business that he takes it home will
him and makes wife of that. But il
nine cases out of ten the wife is at faul
for this more than the husband, and
| she had but the tact to make it enter
tanning for him, and the aptitude to b.
entertained by any one, she would fin'
that such man is the very man to mos
appreciate and enjoy the society and th'
rest and freedom from care his hom
afforded

It is refreshing to learn that, as
rule, our millionaires take, nowadays,
excellent care of their health. Mr..
Gould has had sulphur bath fitted mp
in his house, and Mr.. William 81. Van
derhilt employs an expert to punch HIM
all over several times o week upon the
massage principle. Mr.. Vanderbilt
seems, however, to have always bsen q
partisan of water, for, if We can believe
his own stories, he was in the habit dur.
ing his farming days on Staten island of
pouring bucketfuls of water upon the
hay, and then putting little dry hay on
the top of the load, SO that It should
weigh heavy and seem dry at the same
time. It is by watering hay that he
| learned to water stocks.-N. 7. Sun.

Colonel According to Law.

A few days after baby was born in
Newport gentleman neighbor called in
the house, and, on being shown the
young one, said to it:
''How are you, colonel?"
It's mother then asked: "Why do you
call it colonel?''
Its male child, isn't it9" he re-
sponded.
Eyes" replied the mother.
"Well, then, he's colonel. By the
common law of Kentucky every male
child born In the state is colonel"
The mother was greatly tickled over
the fact that she was the mother of a
colonel. Courier-J ournal.

Parties connected with the James geng

Hite boys being the complainant. It
will be remembered that all along, what
ever others may have have said against
the Jamses, the Sun has said that those
people were honest and virtuous, and
kind-hearted, however many Indictments
there may have bsen against them for

A Chapter on All-wool Blankets.

"All wool" blankets have grown
wonderfully cheap Of late, and some
people have been laboring under the
deluaion that wool raising was bccom-
ing less profitable, A reformed dealer
in blankets explained the drop in the
price in this wise "This blanket" he
said, holding up one of a pair that had
been warranted all WOO "has little
wool of the second class and the rest is
hair that once pranccd over the prairies
on the SCARED aanks of long horned
Texas steer 1t is product Of the
tannercs and a valuable one at that.
The people think that the hair from the
tanncres is used by plasterers, and
such, and 50 part Of it is, but the white
hair gees to the factory. When the
ing room of the tanncry, the white por-
tious are picked out and packed in sep
arate bundles 1t is sold to cloth man
ufacturers, who extract the lime and
wash the hair carefully 1t is mixed
with enough wool of low grade to
enable the manufacturer to cord it pnd
work it into blankets and rough sort
of goods that cheap clothing is made Of
The better part Of the brown hair is
used in making army blankets and
some Of it goes into clothes but not
great deal The blankets and cloth
made in this way are worm and wear
fairly well, but they are a long way
from being all wool There is only
one way to tell them, but it is simple.
When you can pull short hairs out Of
an all wool blanket. you can know that
it is three ioarths COWS hair"

To the People of Garrett County =;

The Grand Jury, in their report
published after their adjournment at
the last term of court, say, in speak
ing of the court house: 1.-THE leakage
in the building itself; the evidence
Of weakness in the general structure
besides the walls show unmistakable
signs Of decomposition in the mate
rial used"
After reading the report referred to,
knowing that there was no facts to
sustain such language, addressed
note to the county commissioners, re-
questing that they appoint some suit
able person to make a thorough ex-
animation of the building and report
its condition. Instead of the COM
missioners complying with my re-
quest they simply directed that the
building be repaired. AS the Grand
Jury's report has been sent broadcast
over the county, it is certainly proper
that some steps be taken to correct,
in the minds of the people, the sup
position that the building is unsafe
or going to pieces, as the Grand Jury
say, and l now say that there never
has been the least sign of weakness
or decomposition" in the building,
or of the material used in the build
ing. from the time of its construction
to the present time that there is not
fracture in the foundation or brick
walls of the building; there is no
cracking in the plaster except what
has been produced by the shrinkage
of timber, or where studding parti-
ton joins the brick walls, which
cracks are inevitable, and have been
so for several years. This is no sign
of weakness.
AS for "leakage" the report speaks
of l suppose they meant the roof of
the buildingl is confined to where
the fiues pass through the roof. AS
these flues are carried up with the
side walls, and there is twenty-five
feet between the fue and the comb of
the roof, it is not so very surprising
that they will leak. But that such
leakage is any evidence of the weak
ness of the superstructure is simply
absurd.
AS there is no fracture in the walls
of the building, there can be no going
to pieces or decomposition of mate
rial.
| Will further say, had the windows
of the fire proof safe been let alone as
left when the building was finished,
there would have been but little dam
ger of records being interfered with
from that source.
