A good excus, no longer exists for
keeping tramps on the fat Of the land.
They have been fed on the best that
could be found. and lived in an easy
manner that has excited the admiration
OF all but now IL ls time this was stop
ped. Harvest hands arc wanted, and
there Is work for all TO do. The pesky
tramp should be sent post haste for the
wheat field ~ seOn Rs he asks for bread
Have no commisserallOn on him. Ills
muscle are already too Il Ibby and IL f.
time they were made sold. Every one
who countenances the tramp under
these circumstances harb0rs vice and
sloth. DO not do 1t.

The gr 1use and pheasant are now ripe
for the hunters shoe gun. the poor ia
fortunate creatures. IL seems tougll to
Kill the poor things of by The dczeB,y yet
THO hungry stomachs Of the hungry
masses tell Us that 1t must be dene, and
it Ii done. Every day the business man
or man Of leisure may be seen spending
i've dollars worth Of Il ne and dollars
worth OF ammunition in killing fifty
cents WORTH Of grouse. To an old maid
up tree this looks ridiculous yet 1t
ls net. Some men experience great
pleasure In fading themselves IN the
midst Of a crowd Of women, some In a
band OF fast horses, others around q
herd Of short horns, others in q school Of
fish but greater than any Of these il
the JOY sportsman experiences In run
ming into n bevy Of grouse In an open
field, and "peppering'' them one by one
~ they rise and attempt 70 fly away,
Plain chap has tried IT himself; the
first shot he hIt an old shed, aud when
he got ready 70 blaze away the second

The sharon divorce case, IL fl n0Y an
nounced, Is drawing to a close, which
means that II will be flashed Ia time
for the parties connected with IL to ceIe-
brAte the holidays. The manner IN
which 1t has dragged on Is outrageous !;
no other word 10 appropriate and eco
IL has been unnecessary. Enough rel
svant, incompetent and immaterial
testimony has been introduced 10 fill a
volume and make Edmund Burke Eiek
to the stomache were lac TO view H. 1t
has been q case OF foolish, unnecessary
questions, a killing OF time to allow
legal fees to accumulate. And, by the
way. there Is toe much of this now-a-
daysin Courts Of Justice Too much
talking for buEcombe. II a lawyer
would Try case In a manner that would
Rave greatest weight with a Court, he
would only ask necessary questions,
make short speeches, snd none with
"ut they would help his case.
The way for larger crime IL always
paved by the boy by the practice Of
doing little acts of meanness. IL you
see youth PeTpetuAlly up to little. petty
acts Of rascaliiy, you may expect to see
him make a lad man. The boy who
will sneak around nights aud steal your
water-melons or apples or cherries. viii!
some time steal your purse or gold
watch. This hardening practice is ac-
suired gradually until 1t becomes sec
ond nature. Albany. like all other
places Of It's size has some youths who
had better mend their ways soon, or
they can never get out Of the rapids
that arc leading them 10 the falls. They
will soon break their oars aHd sweep be-
yond redemption. Beware
