En-
Rev Mr.. Lathrop says: The man who
can sit in the same house with a raging
tooth ache when he himself is the sole
owner and proprietor in fee simple of the
gard to the convenience, comfort or
spiritual prosperity of the owner, per-
sists in protecting itself at least the eighth
of an inch beyond its fellows so that
whenever he shuts his teeth together the
sore one hits first and hardest; and still
maintain his entire cquanimity and he al
together polite and courteous to family
and str myers, is more then an ordinary
saint And that's what has been the
matter with him ever since last Wednes-
day night. He says it is better to be
snowbound at a country hotel, where
there are no books but fourth reader, a
practical arithmetic, a few patent office
reports, and no pop corn. There's no
disputing about tastes. He is better now
and expects to be himself again soon.
The miss Lenora Austin Party" will
give one entertainment in Austin next
week Tuesday evening, Jan. 30. 1t is truly
a very fine company, and it is to be hop
ed our Austin people who wish couple
of hours of amusement of the very best
kind will not fail to attend. Read the
following from the St. Pa ulGlobe:
The party consists of Miss Marie Geist,
'cello-soloist. Miss Eta Hawkins, soprano,
and Miss Lenora Austin, reader. Miss
Austin is a lady of remarkably fine stage
presence, graceful in every movement, is
possessed of a good voice and has marked
ability as an elocutionist. The selections.
she gave combined the serious and humor-
Gus, and were given with marked discrim
ination. Miss Hawkins has pleasing
flexible voice, and sings with much taste
and nvrrQccinn and ncnooin11xy ovnolo ~,
humorous bewitching ballads. Her mo,
Sir, was given with charming archness.
The cello solos by Miss Geist were the
works of an artist of first-class ability,
trained in one of the very best schools of
Europe. Her tones upon that noble in
strument were full, round and clear. The
Fantasia" by H9nsel is selection that
is full Of difficulties, Astounding in double
stops, and rapid, dangerous staccato pas
sages which were executed with precision
and a certain defniteness, that stamped
the performer as an artistic. Each of the
performers was encOred in very gene
rous manner and better pleased audi
ence never left the Opera House.

Boys, don't go off in to the country and
attend "shindigs" and meet-er by moon
light, and stay all night and get drunk
and come home next day, and think your
friends will not find it out. They will.
Boys, don't steal away Sunday to
play cards. It's breaking the Sabbath.
Some boys do.
Boys, never go out on your neighbours
wood lot and take his wood, without his
consent. This is very bad, for it is wick
ed to steal even a pin.
Boys, never join the church until you
can be honest; some men have belonged
to meeting houses, who their neighbors
say, do not always deal according to the
golden rule.
Boys are all born good, but sometimes
they grow up to be q "chip of the old
block" and their mothers are very sorry.
Boys should not chew tobacco and
tell their unsuspecting papas and mamas
they don't, when every body else. includ-
ing themselves, know they do.
Boys, it is remarkable coincidence
that the fond mama can never catch her
son with cigar in his mouth, when all
her neighbors can see him so distinguish
himself most any day.
Boys, there are men "who 20 about
like a roaring lion, and with smooth DIS

with an angels face" look ont for them,
they are ever planning some new tempta-
