POOR MEMS WIVES LOVE THEM
BEST.
From the Alabama Baptist

No woman will love a man better
for being renowned or prominent.
Though he be first among men, she
will be prouder, not fonder; as is often
the case, she will not even be proud.
But give her love, appreciation, kind
ness, and there is no sacrifice she would
not make for his content and comfort.
The man who loves her well is her hero
and king. No less a hero to her though
he is not to any other; no less king
though his only kingdom is heart and
home. 1t is a mans own tauit if he is
unhappy with his wife,in nine cases out
of ten. 1t is a very exceptional woman
who will not be all she can to an atten-
tive husband, and very exceptional
one who will not be very disagrecable
It she finds herself willfully neglected.

sary to put any on the rows.
RENEWING OLD BEDS.
Generally, it is better TO plant new
bed than to rene wan old one, but some-
times it can be done profitably. After
the frost is off scatter rotted manure in
the middles and plow it in with double
shovel. Run single horse harrow
over to smooth it, and let the runners
set on the newly plowed land. In Oc-
taber when the middles sre well set,
put a rolling cutter Oh single horse
plow and run the bar to the new plants
and cover up the old ones. The ridge
can be worked down Ill the spring
with cultivator. The plants will be
mixed in some rows where different
sorts are side by side, but the fruit will
be nice enough for any but iastidious
buyers.
WEDDING.
Success in any kind of fruit growing
depends largely on clean culture, and
if we would have the full measure OF
fruit from a field we must bend our
backs to the hoeing and handweeding.
so it is useless for any one to go into
the business of strawberry growing
unless they make up their minds to
york hard. Don't rush on and plant a
great quantity, forgetting that one acre
aDeH cultivated will produce more fruit
than two left in grass and weeds.

And what must guardian angel do
When she begins her work Of Ruiding~
"Well, first, dear Bessie, . smiling face

And my mother, fretful, lame and old,
Will require daughters loving duty;
You will see to her fannels, drops and tea,
And talk with her Of lungs and liver.

And rub the clothes to snowy whiteness !;

And polish things to = shining brightness; !;
Will darn my stockings and mend my coats,
And see that the buttons are sewed on

You will keep things cheerful and neat and
That homes altar fires may still burn

"You will read me at evening the daily news,
The tedious winter nights beguiing,
And never forget that the sweetest face

For home, dear Bessie. say what we may,

The lark sang out to the bending sky,
The bObOlink piped in the noddIny rushes
And out of the tossing clover blooms
Came the sweet, clesr song of the meadow

And Bessie listening, paused awhile,
Then said, with sly glance at her neigh
Dor;
"But, JOhn-do you mean-that is to say,
What shall get for all this labor:
"To be nurse, companion and servant girl
To make homes altar fires burn brightly
| To wash and iron and scrub and cook,
| And always be cheerful meat and sprlghtly
To give up liberty, home and friends,
| Nay. even the name of q mothers giving =
| To do all this for ones board and clothes
Why, the life of An angel isn't worth liv

And Bessie gayly went her way
Down through the fields Of scented clover
But never again since that summer day
Has she won glance from her rustl

The lark sings out to the bending sky,
The clouds sail on rs white as ever,
The clovers toss in the summer wind.
But Bessie has lost that chance forever.

A SLIM DAY.
Richardson, the Cripple, Before Hiz-
ZOner Again.

Richardson, the Cripple, Before Hiz-
zoner Again.
1t was an off day in the police court and
when hizZoner assembled to the pulpit, he was
greeted by the familiar mugs of few old
buns. The worst case on the docket was
that of a cripple named Richardson, who has
been before the court at least a score of times
during the past year. He was released from
the bastile Monday morning and the air of
liberty was too rich for his southern blood so
that he commenced to I'll up on the elegant
tanglefoot. At 10 O'Clock p. IN. he was found
pounding the soft side of the sidewalk in
front of the capitol, and he was yanked to the
tower in the hoo-doo wagon. He went out
for ninety long days.
John Wick was up on the charge Of disor
derby conduct. He is the duffer who went TO
the Bohemian dance on West Seventh street
last Sunday night aud pounded an innocent
spectator over the head with club. The
hearing was continued until to day.
VIM. Cullen and Nick Kelly were old part
ners, and they occupied room on CONNER
cial street. They got into dispute Monday
night and in the course of the racket they
got to blows and upset the
stove, the result being that they
aim ost succeeded in burning down the house.
They were suatched to the cooler and yester-
day they went to the quay for twenty days
each.
II twas a cloudy day for room mates and when
Gus Millbright was arraigned he could not
give good account of himself. He loaded
to the guards on tanglefoot Monday night,
and on going home ne tried to carve his
chum with knife. He was taken in charge
in good season, and having recovered his
senses yesterday he was only fined ten bills.

millionaire LUCAS Purchase.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Concerning the sensa-
tional dispatch from Indianapolis to the eff
feet that Henry V. Lucas, the millionaire
base bail enthusiast, had purchased the
Cleveland club, ana that an agreement had
been reached between the officers Of the
National league, by which the st. Louis and
Cincinnati unions were TO be admitted into
the league, President spalding said;
81 have had 10 notification that such a
transaction had taken place. Lucas may
have purchased the franchise Of the Cleve-
land club, but for bin 10 say, il be is cor
rectly reported, that Mccormick, Glasscock
aud Briordy would be reiustated, is putting
it rather strong. Those men jumped
stab in the dark to the Cleveland
club, and tue Chicago club will never vote to
reinstate them or any other contract jumpers.
With Dunlap and shafer the case is some
what different. They were jumpers of the
reserve rule, and while the circumstances are
somewhat mitigated they should be pun
ished.''
''In what manner would you suggest a
penaltyir
by the rules now In vogue they are already
black listed, bat In case the league saw lit to
reiustate reserve jumpers, would recon-
mend the adoption OF au amendment making

players who jumped the reserve rule should
pay tine OF $500 for each OiIensc.n

A RGU R0bU-

The sale of seats for this laughable COM
ely opened yesterday and thus far have been
large. Referring to the performance an ex-
change says:
One of the best audiences of the season
was ut the Grand theatre last night to see the
funniest play OF the season, "a Rag Baby"
The play is by the author Of ga Bunch of
Keys" and is best described by saying that
1t closely resembles that popular burlesque.
II has, however, rather more method in it
than the latter play, as it whacks away in the
most delightful manner at many Of the social
peculiarities and institutions of the times. The
dude, the sporting gentleman, the drug
clerk, the undertaken, the school teacher, the
canting parson and great many other char
acters are satirized in a most happy vein.
The fun OF the play is strung together by
means OF slight but sufficiently interesting
plot. The laughter is kept up straight
through the performance. The music and
the dances are all good and largely new. "a
Rag Baby" has made hit, and 1t deserves
It's success. The company is good from first
to last and II would be unfair 10 mention one
member and leave out the rest. The men
are funny and the girls are bright and pretty
aud win some. The play is sure OF good
weeks business.

soonest men in the con aggregation to sit upon
the platform behind me referring to Clatiin
and White).
''Yes, and both white men, too," put in
Mr.. Clafiu.
''They are quarreling for the honors, "
added Beecher. ''Ths is the most favorable
aspect of it; the other is, that we secure
good conduct on the part of the men. You
are almost all OF you veterans and you know
the way of the evening. The conditions
will be read you by our veteran auctioueer,
who for love, and not for
UuOuC1t Has SCTNcu us HlaDH
years. and has been growing better and better
every year. Now. there is nothing more to
state, except to express wonder that our
rental should always come on Il stormy night
but it must be because we are set to make an
example before the world that the more
gloom and storm the more our virtues and
faith slime forth, and we come ont, in spite
of wind and storm, victorious"

Already the brief announcement made OF
the forthcoming engagement of the distin-
guished Janish has awakened considerable
interest among our higher class Of theater-
goers, and the appearance of the eminent
actress is one of the topics of conversation in
social circles. Janish will undoubtedly be
greeted by a large and fashionable audience,
to which her fame as an artistic Of the highest
standing Justly entities her. A void Of com
mendation is due Manager Sc Oft for
his enterprise and liberality In secur-
ing this visit from Janish, which

It will prove a rare treat 10 those who love
the drama for itself and protest against It's deg
radiation as the servant Of ambitious povices
or vain beauties, to witness the finished art
Of Jauish's acting. Combining, as she does,
graces Of face aud figure with aiertuess Of
mind. she ministers to the aesthetic and the
intellectual with completeness rarely
eoualed upon the stage. THIS notable en-
gagement commences next Monday, and is
necessarily limited to three nights aud a
