William was HcadsfrOng.
New York Star.

| YIN
A father at Sedalia, Mo-, discovered
a few days ago, that his only daughter
was in love with New York drummer,
and that the wedding day had been set.
He had scarcely seen the man, and his
consent had neither been asked nor
given. He at once put his foot down
and demanded:
"What do you know about this man
anyhow"
"Why, father, he gets salary of
500 per month and can beat the firm
in expense account so as to bring it up
to SI25. He is just as nice as can be. "
"But he may have wife already.
Have you ever asked the question p
81 never thought of it.
"Well I've heard he had one at St.
Joseph, and I'm going to see. No
man can play bigamy on my family if
this court knows herself"

"Well, I'm telling you facts. The
internal scoundrel wants to marry my
daughter Just think of his cheek p

she remarked
"Singular Why, how can you take

'I can't under the circumstances, as

Driving at Night.
Scientific American.

How to illuminate road in front of
the horses in driving at night is an i'm
portant matter.
The usual side lamps on carriages, or
the attaching of a lamp to the dash
board, fail to reflect the light where it
is most wanted, and the suspending of
lantern from the front axle is objec-
tionable for many reasons, but it is
the best plan for shedding the light
where it is most needed that we have
seen tried.
But Philadelphia physician suggests
the attaching of the lantern to the breast
collar of the harness, which he says he
has tried with perfect satisfaction; and
he has evidently had some experience
with the ordinary methods of lightning,
for he says the various forms of dash
lights are pretty much the same, in that
they put the light just where it is not
wanted, Illuminating the horses tail,
hips and the buggy thills with a brilli-
ance quite unnecessary, which intensi-
hes the blackness of the shadow cast by
them Just where one wishes to see most
clearly.
"My light is common tubular Ian
tern, with a reflector, and spring for
attachment to the dash. In place of
putting it on the dash, slipped the
spring over the middle of the breast
collar, directly in front of the horse.
Every part of the road in front of me
was plainly seen, so could drive with
as much confidence as in broad daylight.
The conditions necessary for success
are level headed horse, with fair breadth
Of chest, and shoulder strap attached
to the check hook, to prevent the Ian
tern sagging down between the horses
legs when for any reason the traces
slack. 1t would be we'll to have short
strap sewed to the inside of the breast
collar, to slip the spring through, 50 as
to prevent any lateral motion"

The Palladium's Report of the Prohi-
 bitfOn Meeting.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: .
 On Tuesday morning your esteemed con- temporary, the Palladium, had a report of the Prohibition meeting of Monday evening, 1 in which it utterly ignored the very name,
 even, of the principal speeches of the evening, | and so of most of the other speakers. On Wednesday morning it devoted more than 8 column to verbatim" report of one of the
 minor speeches of the evening, which, as it
 was delivered, would not fill one-ffth of that space. Such wonderful enterprise is equaled only by that of the Congressional Record" in the palmy days when it devoted more time to the reports of speeches which were not delivered than to reports of those which
 were. Let us hope that hereafter the Palla- dium will at least let it's reporter sit at one of it's own front windows, and so keep some track of what is going on just across the street. ONE OF THE CLUB.
