Alfred Day and John Messemer, are
two young men living in Warren,
Ohio. They were rivals for the hand
of the same girl, and so intense was
the love of each that he did not care
to live without her. They agreed to
settle the matter by duel-the sur
vivor to take the rustic beauty. They
went out into a field, in the dark, and
began shooting with revolvers. After
firing seven shots and nobody being
hurt, they threw down their pistols
and went at it ''fist and skull" until
one of them cried enough He con-
cluded to live without the girl rather
than fight any longer. All this was
romantic-but the probability is that
the girl was secretly chuckling and
wishing that both the fools would be
killed. Young men should learn the
fact that girl who would require a
man to be murderer before accept
ing him as her husband, is not fit for
wife, Had these young men put the
same effort into honest labor, they
would have been on the way to max
ing themselves worthy husbands of
worthy wiyes.
There was romantic little episode
near Nashville Tennessee. A young
man grossly deceived a young lady
whom he had promised to marry, run
ming away and forsaking her alto
gether. A child was born to them,
which died. The young man, hear
ing Of the matter, returned, repent
ant, and the couple went to the grave
of the child and were married there,
standing one on either side of the
grave. 1t is sad, and in some re-
spects beautiful story, but it might
have been more beautiful yet, and
more righteous. The young man
ought to have been the occupant of
the grave-and he ought to have been
there before he met the young lady.

Another sensational story comes
from Ashland KY, to the effect that
detectives have been at work for some
time, trying to get at the facts con-
nected with the murder for which
Ellis, Neal and Craft were hung 1t
is claimed that the real murderers will
shortly be arrested, and that they are
men of good standing. Whether this
be true or not, no fair-minded man,
who would take calm, unprejudiced
view of the situation in all its bear
ing could make the claim that there
was any evidence sufficient to hang
the men who were executed for this
murder. In fact there was no case
against them at all, and men arraigned
under circumstances removed from
the clamor of mob, would be
promptly discharged upon such testi-
mony.
So! Pickleseimer has fallen, has
he? We always ''sot great store" by
that name. We never heard of but
one man of that name, and he lived
over in Lawrence County, and we
never knew man named Pickleseimer
to do anything mean. Pickleseimer
has been living over in West Virginia
for some time-that is one Pickle
seimer has. To still further add to
the glory of the name, this Pickle
seimer is preacher" Yea, and a
school, teacher, too! A few days ago
his school closed, and he got on a
roaring drunk. A Snowman was CIV
ing an exhibition in the school house,
when Pickleseimer rode up with a.
shotgun on his shoulder and de-
manded admittance This was refused,
when the Reverend Pickleseimer flew
into a great rage. No man by the
name Of Pickleseimer had ever been
kept out of show in that neighbor-
hood before, and it was too late now
to begin to submit to such indignities.
The door-keeper shut the door, when
the drunk man fired through the door,
killing one person and wounding sew
eral others, one of whom died after
ward. Now that name is blotted out

good man who was teaching the young

gone, name and all. Thus are all our
pleasant anticipations blasted. Well
meyer tie to a preacher named Pickle
seimer again.

Cruelty is always reprehensible, and
invariably the outgrowth of an evil
