sweetly to Lee Craddock:
"Do you have all kinds Of mourn

"Yes'm; we have the cards, and

"Oh, 1 don't want the kind they

Mourning playing cards!"
"Why, yes; don't you think they
would be real nice and tasty?"
Lee was obliged to confess that The

supplying playing cards with mourn
ing borders for bereaved lovers o
whist and draw poker, and the lad,
left the store visibly disappointed.

A town is very much like an indi-
vidual. To be flourishing 1t must
have energy and enterprise. The
people in town should labor for its
prosperity. They should remember
that the individual prosperity depends
to a large extent upon the character
of the place in which their business
is located. A man seeking location
will invariably seek town that is up
with the times and is in favor of
every modern improvement. 1t is a
question whether town in these
times can afford to be peepled with
old fogies, antediluvian fossils who
continually kick at every improve
ment. Make a special effort to ex-
hibit some evidence Of improvement
in your own work and character.
Help every worthy man, help every
enterprise, and encourage good men
to locate in your town. II a stranger
comes among you, give him n fair
show. II his ways are not like your
ways, give him chance to change
his. Don't be in haste TO condemn
him. Give him a word Of encourage
ment occasionally. You cannot tell
what good it NAV do.

When The Bombs Were Flying.

Col. John r. Towers, principal
keeper of the penitentiary, aided and
abetted in one of the most cruel
jokes of the war. The federals were
leisurely firing shells into some con-
federate works, and the bomb. were
falling and bursting in such uncom-
Portable nearness that the soldiers
had dug holes In the ground and
were hiding as hest they could. The
Colonel and some friends got hold Of
an unexploded shell and stuffed it
full of fuse. When the next report
was heard the fuse was touched off
and after a moment the bomb was
dropped into the mouth of one of the
gopher holes where several
soldiers were sheltered "Zip-zip-
zip-z-z-z-zlp-ziz-zip!" went the fuse
for several minutes. Howl after
howl went up as the soldiers expect
ed to be blown to atoms. After a
time the sputtering fuse burned ou,
and things quieted down.
When Col. Towers concluded his
recital of the above story private
who was minus an arm remarked:
"One day boat opened on us
with canister, and the boys were sor.
ter ratified, until big fellow shout
ed: Stick to 'em, boys; their am
munitions gin out and they'r,
shootin' dinner-buckets at us!' -

look.
II can not, Clarence" she said in
a half whisper. She was probably
running short on whispers and didn't
care TO waste any whole ones where
halves would do just as we'll.
"And tell you, proud gyurl, that

about overheating his brain. Rash

TO use it. "Yet 1 was hasty," he
mused. II will go back and recall

She was sitting motionless where
he had left her.
Clarence" she said between her
sobs-a kind of sob-sandwich, as it
were--"why did you not let me ex-
plain?'
"Tell me, then, why you bluffed
me thus?" and he became suddenly
severe as the memory of his cruel
wrong was revived.

Teemer's Silver BOTTLE.


The London Sporting Life, in a
recent number, publishes New York
letter giving John Teemer's, ex-
champion oarsman, record and also
sketch of the appearance and habits
of the American champion. Describ-
ing Teemer's cosy home in Mckees-
port, Pa, the correspondent quotes
him as saying: The only bottle am
fond of is that one, pointing to a
beautiful silver bottle standing on a
wall bracket. The bottle is made of
coin silver, with satin finish. En-
graved on FURNISHED space is the
inscription: ITO John Teemer, cham
pion osrsman of America, from Nc
Keesport friends" 1t seems that
Teemer used to work in the iron mills
at McKeesport, where the workmen
sre in the habit of using the we'll
known German remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil, for any pain or ailment in the
muscles or joints. Teemer has found
it of indispensable value to him IN
keeping him in the best physical
condition and his fondness for it is
well-known. This fact was remem.
bered by some friends, who after his
victory over Hanlon wanted to give
him memento; and so they hat
made for him fac-simile in silver Of
the style of bottle in which st. Jacob:
Oil is put up. Teemer's pretty little
wife seems to think as much of tina
bottle as he does and promptly re
sorts to it whenever their bouncing
big baby boy hurts himself in an,
WAY.

Nellie Grants Unhappy Marriage.
Gen. Grants daughter Nellie, who
married into the Sartoris family, of
England, and whose treatment by
her husband has become so notorious
throughout this country, will leave
her unpleasant home in the North of
England and return to America with
her children. For more than two
years Mr.. Sartoris has not contribu-
ted one cent towards his wife's sup
port, land she has lived entirely on the
remittances sent her from home.
Sartoris spends his time in London,
carousing about the cafes and clubs,
drinking and making merry with
women of little reputation, while his
wife remains at an old isolated
country seat year in and year out.
Many stories have been told of bis
shocking treatment of her. A gen
tleman said, some time ago, that he
had seen and heard her begging him
to remain at home, simply to abate
the scandal that was in progress
, But no, he would not listen to hel
for an instant, and the next hour of
he went with couple of riotoul
, companions to London.
! Sartoris has no business; he neve
f attempts any. for the simple reason
he has not sufficlnt brains to conduc
