When the tents are pitched, and the
boys look upon these, and hear the bugle,

memories come trOoping up, a strange
commingting of both sunshine and

Jupiter'S Lottery.

1t is said THAT the God Jupiter once
made lottery in heaven and allow
ed both mortals and gods to hold
tickets. The grand prize was wis
dom. and Minerva held the winning
card. This caused trouble'among the
mortals, and Jupiter, to appease
them, offered folly as a second prize,
which they all drew, and were highly
pleased with it. Ever since that time
folly has been held in high estimation
by mortals. If they wish to be noted
for wisdom they should buy PERUNA
of the nearest druggist, and use it for
the various ailments which are known
to humanity. Thousands are learn
ing wisdom in this regard, and are
loud in their praises Of this wonder

The ClOtheS-Pin Supply.

The latest campaign lie is to the
effect that the American republic gets
away with 3,000,O00,000 clothes. pins
annually. Now, it is evident that
sixty clothes-pins per head per an
mum is certainly very liberal esti-
mate. Take family of ten persons
their allowance in the regular way
would be 600 pins year. 1t is well
known fact that there are certain
classes of people, aggregating thous-
ands, that have no use for clothes
pins. Take a bachelor. The only
possible employment he can devise
for such thing is to fasten his sus-
penderS to his trousers. But dozen
pins per year would be very gener-
Gus allowance for him.
Then there are babies. Babies don't
use clOthes-pins excessively, and per-
haps on an average an ordinary baby
dosen't swallow more than six or
seven in a twelve-month, and most
of them are recovered by anxious
mothers unwilling to encourage such
expensive habits of diet. Business
men use clothes-pins very sparingly,
while the majority of preachers could
not tell clothes-pin from a meat
skewer. We are then driven to the
hired girl, upon whom depends the
responsibility of accounting for 600
clothes pins year. That she does
not use them for fuel is plain enough,
since nobody ever saw a clothes pin
that weighed less than a pound and
a half on account of the water it has
assimuated, and by no possible pro
cess could it be made TO burn. The
secret of this mystery-as great as
the one concerning the disappearance
of ordinary pins-is that the girl
must swallow them.

and orderly down east home, was in
Missouri looking for a farm, when a
land agent showed him through Ray

ducements to settle there: "There Is
n O such land elsewhere in Missouri, and
the society can not be surpassed. Dc
you see that house over there? Well,
there is where the Ford brothers lived,
and where poor Charlie committed sui
eide. And also that one across the field?
Wood Hite was killed in that house.
Over yonder a little ways is the old
homestead of the James family. If you
could only stay over until tomorrow I
would take pleasure In introducing you
to Frank, whom we expect over from
Boonville to spend a day or two with
us. About six miles further on we
/ come to the Mormon settlement. All

ty." Mr.. Hamilton took the next train
home. He won't settle in Missouri.

Fretting.
From the Baptist Weekly.

From the Baptist weekly.
This morning 1 got up as cross as a
bear. felt as rough and tingy as a
chestnut burr. l was all out OF sorts
and it seemed to me it would be a pleas
ure 10 snap up anybody who spoke 10
me as short as l could.
Most likely 1 would have done so and
set the whole household by the ears tor
the rest of the day, but that l have had
such moods before and learned by ex-
p~erience the best way to manage them:
Nov" thought 1, my best plan is not
to influence the whole family, but to
remain neutral and let them influence
me-" Accordingly l tried to control
myself a little and await events.
f'Well, the two elder children got up
merry and as happy as crickets. Papa

look and admire, so by the time break
fast was over 1 was laughing and smll,
ing as cheerfully as the rest, n passed
a pretty comfortable day after all.
And as 1 was thinking Of thls at even
ing 1 thought how easy a little fret
ting might have upset the whole lam
ily and spoiled the day.
Now, fretting Is both useless and un.
necessary it does nc good and a great
deal of harm; yet it is almost a unlver
sal sin. More or less we are given to 1t
We fret over almost anything. In sum
mer because it is too hot, and IN WIN
ter because it is too cold; we fret wheI
il rains because it Is wet, and when l
does not rain because it is dry when we
are sick or when any body else Is SICK
In short if anything or everything doe
not go Just to suit particular whlm
and f%ancies, we have just one grand rel
uge-to fret I'VE it.
I am afraid that fretting IS mucl
more common among women thai
among men. We may as well W the
truth, my fair sisters, it isn't altogethe
pleasant. Perhaps it is because tn
little worries, cares and veXatlons OF on
daily life harass our sensitive nerve
more than the extended enterprise
which generally take the attention
of men. Great wants develop grea
resources, but the little wants an

but they turn the edges terribly.
think if we looked upon all the httl
worries of n day as one great unite
worry, ~self-control to meet it would b
developed. But as they generally com
only n or two little things at

ROLLER SKATING.-The healthful and
graceful amusement of roller skating
should be encouraged in our community.
AS the fall is approaching, would it not
be we'll for scme of our citizens to interest
themselves in establishing rink for the
amusement of our young people. The ex.
ercise is innocent, graceful and interest
ing, and is conducive of good healh. Out
side of the pleasure that rink would af-
ford, it would. in our judgment, be a
source of some profit to its projectors.
There are several desirable rooms in the
city that are large enough and we'll suited
to the purpose. Its management could be
so arranged as to provide one or two even
ings in each week for girls, and alternate
evenings for boys. There are so few
amusements in Staunton for our young
people outside of their homes. that it seems
to us some such plan would he desirable,
and would be appreciated by parents. Let
some of our young men make the start.
They have been successful in organizing a

let them do something for the pleasure of
the children.
