Mrs. RansOm's Experiment.

When Mrs. Ransom adopted a baby
from the Orphans Home people We're
not surprised. They had learned to &C
cept with equanimity whatever that
lady chose to give them, and the baby
was only something in more tangible
shape than her theories usually assumed.
Mr.. Ransom was surprised, though.
He had been away on a months trip
among the pineries looking after some
lumber interests fOrhis firm, and arrived
home tired and late, but not unexpected.
Mrs. Ransom welcomed him with her
characteristic energy.
"COme right in, David, and shut that

don't make such a nOise!"
whats a brewing nOw?" asked Mr..
Ransom with interest, as he sat down in
his own big rocker and prepared to take
off his travel-stained boots.
But the shrek that rent the air, and
which proceeded from his wife's lips,
brought him to his feet in double quick
time. A faint cry seemed to come from
the cushion Of the rocker.
"The catl' exclaimed Mr.. Ransom.
''Why didn't you tell me the cat was
there? 1 nigh about sat on her"

President MadisOn's wife.

w als1l1 s ton Letter 70 cleveland Lsdl6E
Dolly Madison was the prince of ENTER
tainers. She never forgot a name or a
face, and scores Of stories are aflOat here
regarding her memory and her kindness.
One old story which is current, is In ref
erence to a green youth at the White
House who was standing up at one Of
the receptions there, when she, seeing
that he was embarrassed, came up and
attempted to make him feel more at
home. The boy was drinking q cup Of
coffee and he had about half finished it.
When he saw Mrs. Madison coming he
was so frightened that he emptied the
rest of his coffee into the saucer and put
the cup into his coat pocket Mrs. Pres
ident Madison at once engaged him IN
conversation, asked after his family and
every one Of his 42d cousins, and treated
him so well that he soon forgot his en-
barrassment. He managed TO remove
the cup from his pocket during the talk
and drank q second cup with his hostess
before he left.

ASHLAND AsTONIsHED.
Two Discharged cowboys Rule and Ruin.

Two Discharged Cowboys Rule and Ruin,
Globe.
Last Monday two discharged cowboys
rode into the new town Of Ashland,
Clark county, and commenced doing
deViltry both to person and property in
the most barbarOus manner. Their first
break was to lasso chimneys and pull
them over, showing in windows and
doors. They then attacked q little, in
nOcent boy, striking him with the butt of
a revolver, breaking his nose and other
wise injuring and disfguring his face,
they then bounced on man and pound
ed him on the head in a like manner.
On Thursday night they returned re-
infOrced, and again made Rome howl,
killing two men and WOUnding a woman
in the arm, the ball passing through her
arm. AS soon as word arrived form
the den of devils, Mike Shugure, Under
County Sheriff, and Mr.. Thompson,
Deputy, departed for the scene Of con-
flict, and arrived just as the villains had
finished their bloody work and were
making their escape. They Immediately
gave chase, capturing one. The other
showed fight. Mike accepting, several
shots were exchanged, finally the rufiian
gave in and fed. Nike and two men
were in hot pursuit when last heard
from. Thompson started for Dodge with
the captured man. Some fears are en-
tertained that there viii be an effort
made by the cowboys to release him by
force. Pat has started to assist.
LATER.-A mob of citizens Of Ashland
took the cowboy away from the Sheriff
and hung him. A delegation under the
charge of the Sheriff left Thursday even.

The Church Of highlands Wealth

American Register
The wealth Of the Church of England
In worldly, not spiritual, goods is just
now receiving considerable attention,
but speculation has not much upon
which to base itself, for the reason that
no one knows precisely what its income
is, except the two Arch bishops, and they,
probably wisely, keep the knowledge Sc
curely to themselves. Some of the most
valuable property IN England belongs to
the church, which has held it ever since
it was taken away from the Roman CathO-
lies by Henry VIII, and bestowed upon
the newly created Bishops to make their
feaity sure. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury, the Primate Of all England, has an
annual income-of $4,000, in addition to
Lambeth Palace, his London or city resi-
dence. The Archbishop Of York, the
Primate of England, receives $4,000
year, besides two residences and a large
household of officials. The titles Of some
of the other Bishops are: London, $780,
OOO; Durham, S35, 600; Winchester, $780,
SOC; Ely, $27, 500; and Bath. Lincoln, Ok
ford, Salisbury and Worcester, S25, 600
each. The Bishop Of SOdoE and Man,
who has neither cathedral nor dean,
gets $4,000 year for doing nothing.

LOVE.

Love and logic can't agree,
Love is not philosophy,
But Is burning,
SWeetly turning
Logic into minstrelsy.
Love ts longer,
Love is stronger
Than the iron rule Of three.
Love IS but q bee that sips
Honey from a thousand Lips
Ever maying
Ever sIraying
Where the rarest nectar drips.
Love Is sWeeter,
Love Is heeter,
And purer honey dips.
Loves a hayward dream that hides
In the heart and there aDtdess
Lightly sleeping,
COyly weeping,
TIL the tender heart cOnddes.
Never harming,
Loves more charming
Than all else on earth besides.

Only dog, but he waited there
By the picket-ieuce in the chill night air
he needed not the dying day,
He JOB on hand and came 70 stay
He had seen strange pup an hour before
Boldly enter the parlOr door;
He had seen his mistress feed him on pie
And regard HIN WlthGl with kindly eye.
And the dog heart hardened; he feare that hi
No longer a pstted doggy would be;
So he vowed revenge on the upsLart pup
And sWOre that night he would chew him up.

Only a dude, with a stony stare,
Brightly humnlug the latest air.
He ambled Ong as best he might,
For ais shoes were long and his trousers tight.
A sickly smile played on his face,
He sucked his cane with careless grace
And remarked, as glass in eye he stuck;
''Its the s0ttest snap 1 ever struck"

Only a howl it came from the dude
While caluly the dog the left leg CheWed
OF the upstarJ pup who had dared TO share

Till naught was left but a slender cane
TO mark the spot where the dude was slain.
