He was bouncing Oig turkey, AMI
they hung him by the heels, 50 that his
nose almost touched the walk just out
side the butchers shop. \ little girl
was standing there watching it. You
coull see that she was hungry little
girl, and, worse than that, she was
cold too, for her shawl had to do for
hood and almost everything else No
one was looking, and SO she put out a
little red hanl and gave the great tur-
key a push, and he swung back and

well.

She Paid Extra.

A widow, whose age might have
been forty, went into business on
Grand River avenue a few weeks ago
and the first move was to get sign
painted. The services Of sign
painter were secured, and when he
finished his work he put on his "im-
print" by placing his initials wv. A.
H." down on the left hand corner Of
the sign. When the widow came to
criticise the work she queried:
"What does w. A. H. stand for?"
"Why. Wanted, A Husband" re-
piled the painter
"Oh, yes-I see," she mused. at

is a dollar extra" ."--Detroit Free Press

The Millennium in Norway.

A North European correspondent of
the Springfield Republican a good deal
more than insinuates that the millen-
MUM has not only arrived at Norway
but that it is greater ethical success
than was anticipated. He conveys this
most interesting and most cheering
piece of intelligence,
Which Kings and prophets waited for,
But died without the sight,
in a manner as unique as it is satisfac-
tory. Listen to him: LAS we were
driving along one day Through Nor
way we saw two umbrellas hanging
on the branch of tree. Some people,
not caring to be encountered with
them, had left them there till they
should pass that way again. Although
it was raining. no one thought of
touching them"
Obviously no commentary can add
to the force of this simple. unadorned
statement. The news from Norway
will come home to the average man
| with the irresistible power of a steam
pile-driver. Norway may well feel that
she has fulfilled the choicest sort of a
manifest destiny, and that she has
nothing more to live for except the en-
| joyment of her triumph's crown of
/ triumph and the envy of her sister
nations. In order to realize how far
behind Norway is this metropolis OF
the New World, let any one of our
readers who is interested in the pro-
gress of the race hang nice silk um-
brella for temporary safe keeping on
one of the trees of Madison Square OF
Central Park A good, seryiceable,
| stylish silk umbrella can be purchased
for from So to so. and the one select.
ed for this experiment should be hung
mot necessarily for publication but as
guarantee of good faith-on limt
within easy reach of passers by.-Aeu

New Houses on Old sites.

There are, no doubt, many persons
now living in Rome who have beneath
them the residence of some gentleman
of the Middle Ages, under which, per-
haps, is the home of Roman family
of the time of the Caesars; and this may
have been built upon the foundations
of another Roman house, which was
considered good place to live in
some five or six hundred years before.
1t must be very satisfactory thing,
when one is going to build house, to
find beneath the ground some good
substantial walls which will make ex-
cellent foundations. 1t very often
happens that these remains of ancient
buildings are built of larger stones, and
are Ermer and more solid than the
houses which are erected upon them.
There is another side, however, to this
matter, and the remains of old build
ings are frequently very much in the
way of those who wish to erect new
houses, for it does not always occur
that the ancient walls are in the right
places, or of suitable kind, to serve
as foundations for the modern build
ing. Then they have to be dug up
and taken out, which is great labor.
There is a handsome American church
in Rome. When this was built, the
work was made very expensive by the
difficulty of getting rid of portions of
walls, arches, rooms. and vaults which
these Romans had left behind them,
never thinking that in the course of
ages there might be such people as
Americans who would wish to build a
church here.-Frank r. Stockton, in
So. Nicholas for November.

Sow Whisky, Reap Drunkards.

Sam Jones. at the Plattsburg. Mo-
camp-meeting, in speaking of dram shop
! license, said:
az want to say just at this point,
brother, that this is as true in the spirit
ual, moral world around Us as it is
true in the physical world. If | SOW
wheat / reap wheat. If sow barley,
reap barley. Just that which | sow in
moral sense, | shall reap in moral
sense. Like begets its like. Every Liam
that goes through this world is going
with a basket of spiritual seed hanging
on his arm, and every step he takes In
life his hand goes down in the basket
and he scatters seed right and left, and
they come up and grow just like the ones
he sowed. Owhat a thoughtl
Whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap
"Whatsoever Clinton County sows,
that shall she also reap. Whatever the
State of Missouri sows, that shall she
gather into the harvest. Whatever
America sows will decide the character
of the national fruit.
'Sow whisky, reap drunkards. Do
YOU deny that? The man that denies
that proposition, denies a premise that

Let every weeping wife, and every

gering man that leaps into hell, tell you

"Sow whisky, reap drunkards. Look
here, aren't you satisfied in Clinton
County? Haven't you got enough drunk
ards? Haven't you buried enough drunk
ards in this community? Haven't you
had enough men killed in debauchery
and in common street fights with one
another? Haven't you buried enough of
YOUR sons, and fathers, and brothers? ?
Look here, if you want any thing more
in that line, you are greedier than ever
| was in my wickedest moments. How
many more men would YOU like to bury

How many more wives hearts would

this fearful curse of the race ?"-Stste

Jay Gould,s Waistcoat.

A young friend of George Gould was
dining with the family. Conversation
turned on tricks, and the young friend
said he could take off mans vest
without removing his coat. He ex-
planned that feat, which consists of
working the vest down the arms by
gradually coaxing the shoulders
through the armholes. Then the vest
can be removed by slipping it off un-
der the coat sleeves. Dexterity and
patience are required. The young man
was positive he was the only one pres
ent who could do it. Mr.. Gould listen
ed to the explanation and said that
any man could do it, and that he could
do it on the spot. The caller was zeal
ously anxious to bet his modest pile
against an equal sum to be put up by
the millionaire; but the latter advised
him not to bet any more than big
apple, as he would be sure to lose it.
MIR. Gould thereupon proceeded to per-
form the elusive act. He first took off
his coat.
"Hold on. SIR" said the young man,
''that is not permitted; it is barred. !"
II understand that" replied the
banker: '1'll put on the coat again.
I'm only getting ready"
Then he took off his vest and at once
put on his coat, and succeeded it with
putting ON his vest outside of his coat.
''rm at your service now," he quiet
ly said.
The young man lost an apple, but
gained a yeri6cation of the important
truth that there is more than one way
of doing thing. In his own style
there is no greater lover of quiet fun
than Jay Gould.-Brooktyn Eagle.

Under Which Registration !

1t is question of no little Importance
to the whisky petitions now pending, as
to which registration they will be gov
erned blythe one which has existed for
some years past, or the one which was
begun this month, and which will be COM
pleted in December next. The old one
contains much larger number of names
and will make it more difficult to get a
majority. The whisky men are proceed
ing upon the supposition that the new
registration will be the one which will
govern in the issuance of license. Some
prominent lawyers who have looked into
the matter somewhat, contend that the
old registration is the one of which the
majority must be secured. Certainly
no one will be so blind as to contend
that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
will have any right to issue license
under the new registration until it is
completed by holding it open on the two
additional days in December. Petitions
now before the Board must either be
decided according to the old registration
books, or they must wait until the new
registration shall have been completed.
There can not be two opinions about
this matter.

Of Questionable Propriety.

During the days of the recent regis
tration in the City of Jackson several
whisky petitioners arranged their tables
in the passage-way of the City Hall just
outside of the door of the registration
room, and had their agents ready to
seize hold of every voter and importune
him to sign their petitions. Several
persons spoke of having been annoyed
by opportunities to sign; 1t was diff
cult to get away from the persistent
petitioners. 1t is hard for some men to
say no to any appeal, but when this ap
peal is backed up by two or three against
one, as it was on the days of registra-
tion, the difficulty becomes greater.
When in addition it is well known that
if any business man refuses to sign a
petition, he is spotted by the whisky
men and the trade and patronage of the
whole fraternity withdrawn from him,
then refusing to sign becomes quite a
serious question. Many a free citizen
in this Capital has declared that he was
opposed, on principle, to baf-rooms, but
| dared not decline to sign petitions for
fear his business would be ruined.
When saloon men thus intrude upon
the sacred domain of registration, and
when they compel voters to become par.
ties to their death-dealing traffic by
threats of ruined business, the thing
becomes painfully suggestive

Department should be addressed


BY MRS. E. Y. WILSON.
In hospital ward woman lay,
Painfully gasping her life away;
So bruised and beaten You scarce coult
trace
Womanhood's semblauce in form or face
Yet the hair that over the pillow rolled
In tangled mass, was like threads o
gold;
And never sculptor, in any land,
Nodded daintier foot or hand.
Said one who ministered to her need
ssNone but coward could do this deed;
And what bitter hate must have neryee
the arm
That helpless creature like this could
harm"
Then the dim eyes, hazy with death,
eclipse,
Slowly unlocked. and the swollen lips
Murmured family: He loves me we'll
Ny husband-'twas drink-be sure you
tell
When he comes to himself-that forgive
Poor fellow for him / would like to live
A shudder, a moan, as the words were said
Al d drunkard's wife on the couch lay
dead
O fathers who hold your daughters dear,
Somebody's daughter is lying here;
o brothsrs of sisters, come and see
What the fate of your precious ones may
be;
O man, however you love your home,
Be it palace or cottage, 'nea.h heavens blue
dome,
This demon of drink can enter in,
For law strikes hands and bargains with
sin.
You have legalized crime, you have the
gold,
Now hand them over the sons you sold
Keep pushing them forward. Drink, boys,
drink
Your fathers are paid for your souls, they
think,
And in the great mart where mammon
strives,
Cheapest of all things are human lives.
