The man who thinks paper cannot

things YOU cannot endorse in every

call the editor all sorts of ugly names
the paper will still be published. And
what is more you will sneak around

Boston Post: 1.-THE Daughters of
Rebekah recently demanded Of the
sovereign grand lodge that official au-
thority be given them to employ a
brass band at the funerals of deceased

would be great attraction to member

The high license bill so for as saloons
and doggeries are concerned was de-
feated in the House last Tuesday. The
principal argument against the license
was that there is at least four drinking
shops to each square in the city OF
New Orleans, and if high license pre-
vailed, three out Of four of these would
have to close IN, and this would be a
great Inconvenience" to the '1bOys"

Pious people, while they may wish
newspaper making stopped, are en-
tirely too fond of riding to church to
establish a Sunday law that will give

never expects to be hanged, though
he may deserve it.-N. 0. Picayune.

prisoner who escaped with Saunders was also

to some friends about six miles from where he
was overtaken. Mr.. Saunders hurt his foot
badly on the trip. and also had fever most or
