gestion could be observed was teacher
worth thousand college professors. He
made It apparent by ocular demonstra-
tion that simple food readily turned into
noarishing ailment was the surety Of per-
feet health and strength. We are bat n
machines. Our springs and coQs and
pulleys fall into disorder either from
overwork or neglect. We must adapt
our lives to the conditions of our humsu
machinery, using 90 much of the rood
things Of this world as are good for US,
and no more.
Doubtless much of the siuning in regard
to eating arises from ignorance. Doubt
less, too, the habit of oyerfeedine is
mainly formed, like many other habits,
in childhood. And il is here that the
mothers Of the land may work wonder
ful benefaction. They may not he able
to control their husbsnds' appetites, bat
they can give to their children proper
food. properly prepared, and see to it
that they do not distend their little
stomachs with more than they need. The
modern doctor stipulates that babies
should be fed only at stated intervals.
and If fed from the bottle, ~ MANY
modern babies are, only q stated amount.
Is the child of or /. or q dozen wears
even, a better judge of the quantity of
iood the human machinery requires than
is the infant in arms? We carefully
regulate the quantity of food we give to
our horses and COWS and pigs. Have we
any right to be less careful of our children?

Gun! Yes! Singular !" he said, as
he stood at the cashiers desk in the res
taurant and felt in his pockets.
"Been robbed, l suppose" sneered the
cashier"
Perhaps. Let's see! Did l change
my pantaloons?
Oh, of course"
"Iguess 1 did, and left all my money
in the other pair"
"Say, that's too old to 60 down here,
mister! l want sixty cents -
"Yes-yes; but you see"

cash -
Mercy! but you don't take me for q

"Sixty cents ~
But I've left my money"
Sixty cents or you get the bounce -
"I'll 60 out and borrow it"
"Oh, no! Hand it over or the kicker
will take charge of your
"Let's see! Did change my clothes !?
Yes, did. But
No butts about it. I want sixty
cents !"
"But l must have slipped some money
in wy hind pocket. All so did, and
here it is."
And he fished up q great wad, tossed
the cashier a $50 bill, and while waiting
for his change shook hands with two
bankers and drew his check for IS 900 to
settle real estate tranaction.

lusted her head more comfortably on bis

the lovely girl without disturbing the in

"My own" he went on, 4" the secret has
weighed upon me so long that must now

times spoken in general way of the home

that have had 80 little to say in regard
to its location, plan, and interior arrange
ments, yet in these casual conversations
l have managed to possess myself of your

ticulars."
The young man paused moment, as if
contemplating picture that rose vividly
before bis minds eye, and resumed with
all the overfowing ardor of an impss-
stoned nature turning itself loose regard
less of expense:
"Alvira, in beautiful suburb, beyond

"Same here! !" yelled Dutch. Frank,
rubbing two big tears OF his cheeks with
his grimy fist

other.
Me, tool" said another, and minute
later every one of the strays that had
caused all the trouble belonged as much
to Bailey as if the flank of each of them
bore his brand and no other.
The revulsion of feeling was simply
tremendous The very men who ten
minutes before had been ruthlessly intent
npon hanging Bailey now crowded
around him, begging forgiveness, and
vying with one another as to which could
do the most for him.
Such of Us as owned none of the
strays" actually felt mean, and Jealous
of those who did until Tom Anderson
suggested way in which we too, might
give vent to our generous impulses.
"Boys," said he, "there's none o. my
critters in Bailey's bunch, but next spring
I'm a-goin' to brand twenty calves for
that little girl in the pictur', and its my
intention to take care OF them and their
increase for her until she's growed up"
Now you're shoutin', Tom I'll do
the same, chined in another"
"pll go twenty for the little boy -
shouted another; and so it went until
each man of US had made a liberal contri-
button.
Poor Bailey was entirely overcome,
and no wonder. To escape hanging so
narrowly, and five minutes later to have
those who had been bent upon executing
him eagerly competing with one another
as to which could show him the greatest
kindness was enough to upset any man.
He tried to express his feelings coher-
emily, but could not; and we left him in
the midst of his tears and protestations of
gratitude, and rode off to the nearest
ranch to procure food and rest tor our
selves and our ponies before starting on
our homeward journey.

One day Beokmann, the comic actor,
who died in 1860, was induced to take off
a well known newspaper editor, Frankel
by name, in one of the characters he was
representing in Berlin. He performed his
task so cleverly that at the close the au-
dience broke out into. loud calls for
Frankel. The journalist brought an ac-
tion, and Beckmann was condemned to go
to the house of the insulted party and
there beg his pardon in the presence of
witnesses. At the hour appointed Frankel
sat in the circle of his family, together
with a number of relatives and friends
whom he had convened for the occasion,
waiting the arrival of the delinquent. He
tarri+d long, and half-an-hour had passed
in weary suspense, when, at last the door
opened Beckmann put his head in and
asked ID" Does Mr. Meir live here ?'' " Oh,
no." answered Frankel, "he lives next
door," " All, then beg your pardon"
said the actor, and hastily withdrew, hav-
ing thus acquitted himself of the imposed
penance to the great annoyance of
Frankel, and the intense amusement of
the assembled witnesses.-Argonaut

AT the M. E. Church, Ironton, by Rev

Messrs. Maurice T. Fenelon and Ed. p. Tet-

time Of trepidation and trial. The ushers (or

Puliam made short address, full of good
counsel, 20 the couple before him. Then
the ceremony, after which the company adj
journed to the residence of NJ. B. Tetwiler,
Esq, where marriage feast was plenteously
spread.
The wedding presents were numerous and
gave token of the goodwill of many friends
toward the bride and groom. After several
hours of social converse, the adieuX were
said, and the guests departed to their several
bomes-first, however, congratulating the
parties principal, and wishing them long life

From Annapolis.

The excitement over the mineral finds In
our vicinity still increases. The latest find
! reported is that of Mr.. VIM. Lewis on his
farm l X mile north of here. The find was
| lead Of very fine quality and great abund-
| A company will be formed at once to deyel-
OPP the mine. Our little town is certainly on
boom, but as yet property is very low.
| Annapolis certainly deserves q boom, and
| among the many reasons are her mineral or
medicated springs. These springs are locat-
| cd near the centre of the town and the value
of the water is only known by old residents
who have used the water for years, and every
morning you may see them goirg to The
spring for their pitcher of water.
We have six societies here besides the
churches: The Cleveland Democratic club,
with 13o members; the Republican Club.
with Al members; the Young Mems Social
Club, with nine members. This club has all
the paraphernalia for fishing, hunting and
amusements of all kinds. The Union Social
Club, with a membership Of 50. The object
of this club is TO raise funds to build a
church. They give an entertainment Satur-
day, the 10Th, the proceeds to go in the
church-yard. The Farmers Alliance, with
a membership of so. This order Is booming
and they expect to do some valuable work for
the laboring class of people in this vicinity
Then we have the w. c. T. u, with a men,
bership of about %, and they are going to do
some good work.
A brass band was organized and they
have sent for their instruments.
Messrs. johnson, Blake and Wadlow are
making arrangements to build some bath
houses on the shore of Big Creek, where
there is beautiful place TO battle. The bot.
tom of the creek is sandy and firm, the water
clear as crystal and the location near town.
Our school is in thriving condition and
larger building is to be erected in the
spring; then we will have graded school.
With fine, cheap, pure water aud very
healthy location we can see no reason why
our town does not deserve boom. We
have four mail trains a. day-twe each way.
Annapolis ships more lumber and timber
than auy station on the /. NJ. road between
POPLAR Bluff and st. Louis. We have fine
Granite quarry owned by Messrs. Towl Il
Nav: also one owned and operated by MI.

Among the new residents are Ar. swans,

Our Sunday School Picnic.

Ed. Register-I feel that ought to say a
few words about our Sabbath school picnic.
1t was very pleasant and delightful to see
many of the good Christian people of the
different denominations all mingling happily
together and thus showing to the children
that all good people are all one in heart and
spirit and one in essential character. And
then when the rain came up it was delightful
to see how cheerfuliy and grandly Judge
Russell came to the rescue and opened his
barn and tore off portion of the shed roof
over his farming implements and made
tables for the nice and abundant dinner, so
that the children were all happy and every
thing was made just as pleasant as it could
be. think an unselfish man who delights
in the comfort and pleasure of others is one
of the grandest characters that can possibly
be manifest in this world. While they are
here they are sincerely loved, and when they
are gone their memories are blessed.

COlOred Society Notes.

There were two conversions at the Meth.
odist church Sunday night. There have
| been series of meetings going on there for
the past week, and great interest is mani
tested by many who desire to know the way
of life. The meetings will be continued as
long as there are any prospects for doing
good.
Rey. Moses Lax filled an appointment at
Caledonia on Sunday; and every thing went
on well till he went to the stable to get his
horse, and found him-not. After several
hours hunt and worry, he found out the
direction the horse had been taken, and pur-
sued the party SO close that he left the horse
on the road and sought more congenial
climate.
Rev. Maston held his first quarterly meet
ing at Piedmont on Sunday. He was accom-
panied by Rev. Chas. Casey, who ably assist
ed him IN the administration of the Sacrament
of the Lord's.Supper and Baptism. There
were three read into full membership, and a
good time generally reported.
The partnership heretofore existing be-
tween Messrs. Maston and Vaughn was, by
mutual consent, dissolved on the 9th inst,
G. A. Maston ha,i ing moved his goods into
the room formerly occupied by Harry Chap
man in the Hotson building, and silas Vaughn
remaining at the old stand. Those who owe
the firm may settle with either party.
Wesley Arms soda factory at Piedmont
has been in operation for several weeks, and
he finds reauy sale for all the soda he has SO
far been able to make. We personally in
spected the generators and fixtures. and
found them to be first-class all the way
through.

at Piedmont and Granite Bend.
