The Editors Reply to a Pug
 naciOus YGuns Man.

The bumorist of Peck's Sun has been threatened with a whipping hy a young man whose sweetheart broke her engagement after reading one of Peck's articles advising girls to lei young men severely alone If they take to drinking. To the young mans threat Peck replies: w hat would We be doing while such a youth. with his skin full of benzine, was whipping us on sight This young man has never whipped any editors, evidently. He has never had 10 be carried oGt on q window-shut ter 10 Hospi,a', aad lie III a stupor while tke d0c!oTs set his bones; has never lain in a deIirlum for months and seen the air full of sorrel-top ped editors walking over him with hunting boots on. He should com Inence down low and work up grad ually to editors. Let him attend a few ward caucuses, with their rows. and take in a few summer garden picnics and balls, and prize-fghts, and if he lives, then he can talk about whipping newspaper man. But Le wants to learn to pray, and 1t is best to bid an effectionate adieu to his friends, and pay up his whisky bills, for there Is nothing that iniures 8 young man's reputation so much as to have his trunk attached, after he has been buried by the authorities, for an old liquor bill. In additi, Il to announcing that our office hours for being whipped at sight for ar ticles that appear in the paper are from s a. I'll. to 6 p m.. We will state that the advice to girls who are en- gagged to drunkards is still in force. and if they will all take it to them selves and make their mothers hap py, we will take the chances on a whipping from the drunkard in every case, and make them a present when they marry so.er young man. Don't hang on to any drunkard for fear he will whip us."

Doss Thoa Ever Think of Me.

I think of thee in the day,
 When the tde of life runs high; Mid the dashing foam and spray The thought of thee doth lie Asleep in bloom and balm,
 Fair isle in tossing sea Sweet spirit folded in heavenly calm, Dost thou ever think of me? I think of thee in the night,
 When the stars are out high; And beneath their tender light All tie world in sl7ep doth lie; But the heavens hold no star
 So pure as the thought of thee! Sweet spirit, dwelling in light afar, Dost thou ever think of me Are the joys of Heaven so rare,
 Is that world so lost in bliss That thou hast no thought or care For the loved and left in this? All its unforgotten love
 My heart still holds for thee Sweet spirit, at rest in realms above, Dost thou remember me?

A Goed Sheep Story.

A flock of sheep blocked up the en trance to q bridge spanning Mill creek, near Chester Park, O. A large saep. herd dog had been trying to induce the sheep to cross the bridge, but they were suspicious and held back. Pres ently the dog, discouraged at his efforts to drive them, leaped upon the backs of the sheep, which, in their crowded condition, looked like one woolly floor. ran along to the bridge entrance, leaped upon the floor, and, seizing in his mouth the neck of one of the ewes, dragged her along on to the bridge. Once on the floor of the bridge the old ewe's sus picions were allayed, and she trotted on across, followed by the whole flock, while the dog stepped to one side, let them all pass, and then lrot- ted along behind.

Olive Culture in America.

The olive has lately acquired for
Americans a new and practical interest

accustomed to consider a small bottle
of EMISSION oil" for their salad as a
treasure for it far surrassesi in purity
and sweetness any imported Oil. But
it is only within a few years that
private owners of land in Southern
California have seriously considered the
question whether olive culture could
be made a paying enterprise. So many
possibilities cling to the broat lanss
and rich soil of the Col len state that
it is not wonderful if some of them
have been oy erlookel. And, though
experiments in ol~iye-groWing have
