card OF February LIST, AZ he has call q me
coward, hiding behind the signature of
a nom dc plume. In this he Is badly mis-.
taken. We are not ashamed, neither are
we afraid. Using the language Of =. J.
Cation we are not the scaEy kind when we
are backed BY facts and truth and fortIf,
cd by the intelligence OF this community
which demands that truth AID Justice
shall be presented and clearly vindicat
cd.
Now your readers remem Dor that he I'm
his FIRST article called me a narrow-eon.
tracted person, incapable OF forming pro~
per conceptions of right or wrong, and a
malicious liar. Last he called mo a gos
sip, and yet this humane man would have
the people believe that he is a christian.
He says "he does not like controversy Of
any kind bat as my personal character
has been assaulted regard It duty to de-
lend It."
Now I will say tina. s. ). Cation gave
the frstassaultas regards character when
be said that we were a malicious liar.
Oh yes, a woman IL lisr, an idiot and
gossip but preacher because no Is a
preacher, mot a preacher only bv the

acts must not be brought to public noHce.
and as he has called us lisF and a cow

A Mothers LOve-A Practical
1IlustratlOn of Hts Power.


A mothers love What a potent thing
II is twill melt the heart Of the most
hardened criminal, when no other infiu.
ence would be effectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate IL IL they will. IL Is
known, though, that IL means sleepless
nights, care, Inconvenience, and, IL ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writer's 10 furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical ii.
Illustrations occur in every day life for il
TO be dwelt upon, 80 that Il is unnecessary
to speak Of the subject further in order
To make the reader understand the full
meaning of what Is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, OF Ashland.
KY, writes that her daughter has been
cured OF deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
lost all hope of her daughter her ideal
being cured, and how overjoyed she is at
The result. After trying many remedies,
she says PERUNA brought a cure, and
that the daughters hearing Is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
hattering terms of PKRUEA, and then do
scribes in the most lovely manner tho
happiness il has brought her, and reviews
the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.
DIR. A. II. Ong, Martins Ferry, o.,

Mr.. Robert G. Hannah, Peterborough,

and very sick for about six months with
a bad cough, and my friends thought i

in the vicinity { and we have some az
good as you can find in the country,
but they did me no good whatever. Our
merchant, Mr.. Gillespie, insisted upon

able remedies, PERUNA and MAHALIN,

The Army of Tramps.
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.

There is a class of people in the
United States which is growing IN num-
bers every year and the members OF
which are designated as tramps. 1t
will at no distant day become a serious
problem as to what shall be done with
these strolling vagabonds, who have
already become q national nuisance. As
a general thing they are ragged, dirty
and shiftless, continually travelling from
place to place, they know not where and
care still less. They are to be met with
generally along the great railway lines,
seldom venturing far from the iron
track. except to beg or steal from ad-
iaeept dwellings, or perhaps to commit
occasionally some worse crime. Inc
genuine tramp will not work, though ne
be offered the softest job in the world,
preferring starvation to manual labor.
He will walk if necessary, but his favor
ite method of travelling is on freight
train. whose empty cars offer a conven-
lent hiding-place though if that Is
NOT available. he will ride on the blind
end of baggage or mail cars, sit on the
trucks. bumpers or any other place that
will support him from one place to an
other. Occasionally these tramps con-
orepate by the hundred in some one
place, preparatory to starting out for
the spring campaign, and at such times
tbey have been known to do their wash
ing, which generally lasted for the
whole wear. Various attempts have
been made to legislate them out OF
cities and States, but the laws have
never been enforce9dtsOn Moleompllsh
their object The Mills George Teas

| fellows.
Laramie has been visited by the ad-
vance guard, and they are strongly sus-
pected of having committed the only
robbery that has occurred within two
months. The fellows should not be
allowed to loiter around even for day,
INIT should be fred off the cars, fired
out of town, refused single mouthtul
of food or nights shelter, and they
sbould be arrested and set to work, ano
compelled to do it by the lash, if neces'
sary. Every Legislature should pass
law against this dangerous class, anc
when lis members are arrested and con
victed. they should get a sentence o.
wears instead of days. Then let then
be herded together and set to work OF
sorne public improvement and keep theI
nose to the grindstone till they learn tt
work, from sheer force OF habit.-LGTG
