The Baboon and the Ostrich.

The baboon was on good terms with
all the animals of the neighborhood,
but took a great dislike to Some os-
triches which wandered about and Of
ten came close to him, not apparently
that they were necessarily unbeloved
by apes, but because they did some
very evil services unintentionally. He
liked to get on wall under quantity
of straw, which protected him from
the sun, and there he dozed away.
Now the ostrich mas very bad habit
of trying to swallow or peck at every
thing; nothing comes amiss so that it
can be swallowed, and they one and all
are constantly poking here and poking
there for most curious tid-bits. This
was the case with the ostriches in the
baboon's neighborhood, and it now and
then happened that as they were on
the search for novelty they noticed
his fine stout tail hanging from the
top of the wall OF course the first
ostrich which was near gave it good
peck with his strong beak, and doubt
less a good pull also, This was most
uncalled liberty, and not only woke up
the sleeper and hurt him, but offended
his dignity. He awoke full of rage,
and before the ostrich could give sec
ond pull at the gristly morsel the fur
ious baboon rushed from under the
straw, seized.his enemy by the neck,
and cuffed his head most soundly. He
hated ostriches ever AFTER CGsSeps

me c4er1ns Of Fever.

| have recently had the opportunity
of learning, on the spot. the full par
ticulars of case in which four MEM
bers of one household were last year
attacked with typhoid fever-one OF
them narrowly escaping with her life
under circumstances which left no
doubt in the mind Of the very accom-
plished physician who had charge of
the patients, that the malady originated
in the opening of an old cesspool be-
longing to neighboring house then in
course of demolition. The house In
which the outbreak took place is large
and airy, and stands by itself in most
salubrious situation. The most careful
examination failed to disclose any de-
feet either in its drainage or its water
supply; there was no typhoid in the
neiehborhood; ard the milk supply was
unexeeptionable. Bntthe neighboring
house being old. and having been occu-
pied by a school, its removal had been
determined on I'd make way for house
of higher class; and as the offensive
odor emanating from the uncovered
cesspool was at once perceived in the

phoid followed lit the usual interval,
the case seems one of which admits OF
no reasonable question.
On the whole. then, the conclusion
seems clear that while the breeding
ground Of ordinary malarious germs Is
the earth alone, and the breeding
ground Of the ordinary exanthemata is
the human body alone, there is an IN
termediate class of pestilential diseases

A Secret Society Light.

I once had in my employ huge ne
a lineal descendant of the gentleman
of that name who at one time was said
to have been badly mixed up with la
,dy named Cleopatra.
This particular Antony lived about
seven miles from my residence and al
ways went home at night after his
work was done.
One day, just about the time this dis
tincuished individual had finished his
work, it commenced to rain as if sec
ond edition of the deluge had just ar
rived on the lightning express train
and was anxious to begin operations at
once. The windows of the heavens
were.open and the earth was drenched
with the fullness thereof.
Knowing what long walk he had
before him, told him that he had bet
ter remain at the house for the night,
and offered him pleasant little room
for his rest and comfort.
To my astonishment he begged off,
saving: Il is much obleeged, boss, but
I'd be mighty lonesome yere wild no
one to talk to. Rain ain't ef gwine to
hurt me; sides dat, we has meetin

A Word TO Be Abolished

A gentleman recently remarked thai
the word s.million" has done more mis-
chief in America than any single word.
Said he: Nobody thinks there is any
pleasure in life unless he has got q mill
lion. Persons Who have got q little
more than competence are stretched
up to be millionaires. and therefore
moderate expectations are out OF FASH
ion. and our young men golaboring on
with million in their mind. which
they seldom reach, and therefore are
disappointed. Another person re-
marked on this: "a great deal OF hap-
piness centers around words. The
Frenchnlan never speaks oI his home,
but of his interior. He calls the fur

Family Reunion.

Although there were many reun-
ions of happiness and rejoicing in
Audubon on Christmas day, the
one here referred to may be worthy
of especial mention for the reason
that the parties were assembled from
more distant points. We have
reference to the gathering at the
home of that worthy couple Mr.;
and Mrs. Frank Gleason. There
were Mr.. and Mrs. Starkey Gleason
parents of the host, from the Empire
State; Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Brock
way Mrs. G's parents, from Red
Oak, Iowa; Mr.. and Mrs. D. L.
Brockway and daughter, and Miss
Adelia Brockway from Red Oak,
Iowa. The cup of their happiness
was made fuller by the distribution
OF number of valuable and useful
presents. Frank Gleason was
presented with an elegant rocker
in whose ample arms he may rest
and ruminate over the best brands
of the fragrant HAVANA, an oppor,
tunity for comfort which we venture
to say he will not fail to improve,
Master Fred was the recipient of a
watch, of an Elgin movement
encased in silver, and a gold guard

given some handsome present which
will ever serve as a souvenir of the
happy event. May they know

Logan in his intention to attack the
administration on ifs appointments"
If our hypercritical contemporary
will read the item he will find that
there was no expression as to wheth-
er or no we endorsed the policy. 1t
was given without comment as a
matter of news. And right here it
may be stated that Gen. Logan has
denied the intention with his own
lips. There will probably be no OPP
position to the confirmation of the
Presidents appointments, however
much it might be conducive to meet
ng out justice If the dominant
party would remove republican Of
ficials, and appoint in their stead
democrats because they were demo-
Gratis there would be no croaking
from reasonable people, but so long
as the Jefersonian posterity flaunts
the banner of civil service reform
and daily ignores the provisions Of
its rules by removing republicans be,
cause they are offensive partisans
and appointing democrats who are
offensive partisans on the grounds
that they are not offensive partisans,
so long is that party open to public
criticism and censure, and the charge
of hypocritical pretext.

JUDGE c. c. NoURsE has written
letter advocating a plan whereby
the Governor may appoint three
officers in each precinct to enforce
the prohibition law. He discusses
the right of the Governor to make
such appointment over the right of
local option. The evils of intemper-
ance are general rather than local
and therefore the State has the
power to regulate the traffic. He
does not present the plan as the only
one, but as one worthy of serious
consideration of minds who are
endeavoring to find solution of the
vexatlous question.

AS THE hours of 1885 are waning
the mind reverts to the past, and the
picture there presented is varied to
the individual eye. To some it has
been a year of success, to some a
year of failure; to some it has brought
friends and endearing ties, and to
others certain of its dates are tear
stained, to be commemorated with
the loss of their dearest and best.
Bat while it is sweet memory, it is
not.the pleasure of the average mind
to dwell upon the past. The pres
ent demands the best thought and
the future holds out the brightest
hopes. The new year is the time
for renewing efforts and resolves.
He loses golden opportunity who
does not benefit himself by the annu-
al reminder of the fight of Time.
The succeeding year should be made
better than the last. Malcontents
may bewail their fate, but life is what
we make it, and no more opportune
time is afforded in the seasons rounds
than the New Year to resolve to live
better and truer to ones self.
