A Young Monster.

Jesse Pomeroy, who, in his boy,
ish days, some fourteen years ago,
amused himself by numbering sew
e.al children, has come to toe front
again.
The young monster is in solitary
confinement, and he is getting tired
OF it. The other day he discovered
what he thought was flaw in the
law under which he had been locks
ed up as solitary, and he at once
sat down and wrote to the COVER
nor about it, The reply was made
that his incarceration vas perfectly
legal, whereupon Jesse exclaimed
Then I'll apply for vacation. l

1t is interesting to study this pc.

in the annals of crime. The boys

committee of physicians that her
husband was a butcher, and during
her pregnancy she went every day
to the slaughterhOuse to see the
animals killed. She took delight
in the work, and frequently assist.
ed her husband. She said that af.
ter Jesse was born and became old
enough to hold Il knife he was all
the time sticking it into pieces of
meat, and when he grew older he
would go to his fathers market and
do the same thing:
Was the love of blood On inher-
itance with this boy? Everything
seems to bear out this theory. Jesse
was impelled by some irresistible
force to butcher his playmates, and
it is well that he is in solitary cone
finement, for if he had the smallest
degree of liberty he would kill his
fellow prisoners"
Perhaps the court did right in
not imposing the death sentence,
but people will feel easier when
they learn that this phenomenal
murderer is dead.-Atlanta Cons

Eight Per Cent Protection and For.

The Springfield Republican gives
those who aie claiming that the
Mills bill means free trade q task
that they will not be likely to
accomplish or even undertake. 1t
says;
Manufacturing New England's
experience Of ten years under the
tariff OF 1916 was such that in 1857

means ruin to his business, explain?

is about as glazing farce as a rep.

The republicans are a very Inc
consistent set. They call the first
tariff bill a protection measure,
though under it the average import
duties were only s per cent, and
they call the Mills bill free trade
though its average of duties is five
time as high.
The republicans would doubles;

plain it away, that the low tariff
period between 1916 and 1861 was
the time Of the greatest prosperity

1t furnishes a strong probability,
that almost amounts to absolute

To Keep out of Politics,

The Grand Army of the Repub-
lie has received an order from its
commander-in>chief to keep out of
politics. 1t is pity that this or
der was not issued sooner. 1t would
have saved the Grand Army, if it
had been obeyed, many manifesto
tons of naTrowness and splenetic
hate.
AS it is the Grand Army is now
looked on as little else than the
most bitter adjunct of the republi>
can party, and as being organized
fer pension grabs. Such men as
Fairchild and futile have brought
it into disgrace.
1t is a pity that this has been the
case. 1t is a pity for the honor of
the soldier to be sunk in the mar
rowness of the partizan and the
tricks cf the demagogue, We hope
that the grand army will obey the
command of its chief, keep out of
politics and restore itself to respec.
tability,--Columbus Enquirer

"a FATHERS ADVICE"

So Robert, my lad, you're going
away,
To leave the old mother and me,
To travel around the country, so
grand,
From the mountains out to the
see.
You're going to be show actor,
A prancing around on the stage,
When you ought to be at home
with mother
To comfort her, in her old age.
We tried to be good to you Rob-
ert
We gave you whate'er we could
give
We could not clothe you in broad
cloth,
For with us twas struggle to
live.
But lad, as long as you're going
To leave the old shsnty behind,
l thought I'd give YOU word of
advice
To carry along in your mind.
When the dollars in plenty you're
making,
And your name in the papers
you see;
When you're petted by beauty and
fashion,
And praised to the highest de-
gree
When invited to suppers and
parties,
When covered with glory and
fame,
Don't allow your head to be swol-
len,
And don't be ashamed of your
name.
And, son, don't forget your religion,
Stick up to your church like a
man;
Hold up your head, with homes
pride.
That only a good Christian can.
To the mother and me, twill a com.
fort be,
Afore we're placed under the sod,
To know that the child of our
raising
Was true to his country and God
Go give the mother a kiss, lad,
Take her blessing to bear on
your road,
For out in the cold world you'll
need it,
And, perhaps, it may tighten
Your load,
And, Bob, when you join the theatre,
Remember the words / have
said:
Be obedient, truthful and honest,
And keep a still tongue in your
head.
And when you are acting and
prancing,
Convulsing the people with glee-
When prosperity round you is
dancing,
Give thought to the mother and
me.

About Accidents.

Some of the organs say that Mr..
Cleveland is an accident, and they
ring the changes on this in order
10 show, we suppose, that accidents
ought not to be tolerated, The
truth is, If he was an accident in
1884, he was a very fortunate one.
He brought the corrupt republican
party up with round turn, and
TOR three years has given the coun.
try longsdeferred taste of honest
government.
But, whatever Mr.. Cleveland
was in 1884, he is not an accident.
There is not an intelligent voter i n
the country but is acquainted with
his record and with his purposes.
1t is well known that he despises
shams of every kind and degree,
and that he has the courage of his
convictions. He has administered
the affairs of the government with
the promptness and simplicity of a
business man, and given satlsfat T..
ton to all the interests except those
represented by the professional
offiee-seekers.
The real accident seems to be

Punctuation.

A very small punctuation mark
IN the wrong place will sometimes
change the meaning of a sentence
completely; and for this reason
scholars should be anxious to learn
to put these troublesome pauses
where the sense of what is being
written shows that they belong;
but it is seldom the case that a sen.
tence written by generous man
can be made to serve the purposes
OF a mean man. Such a thing did
happen, however, many years ago
in England.
A certain prior, noted for his
liberality, had caused these lines to
be written over his door:
'Be open evermore, o thou nv
door,
10 none be shut-to honest or to
poor"
After his death a prior succeeded
him who was as misery as his pre-
decessor was liberal; but he kept
the same verses, changing only the
dash, which made them read:
"Be open evermore, D thou my
door,
10 none-be shut to honest or to
poor"

One drunk man can make more
trouble and bring more grief upon
innocent people in one minute than
the best man in the country can
avert and palliate in a life time. A
case in point comes from Abinge-
Ion, Va. A man named Grayson,
crazed by drink passed through the
town. threatening to shoot anybody
that he met. A well known citi>
zen named Millhurn Trigg tried to
pacity him, and was himself shot
and so badly injured that he died
on Tuesday. Grayson was attack
ed by infatuated citizens and beat,
en- so badly that he has also died,
Tr'gg's aged mother, who was all
eye witness to the shooting, could
not overcome the shock, and she
died from a broken heart. The
affair has shocked the people Of
that section deeply.

"The fax fiber" he said ''is first combed
or, as it is technically termed, 'scutched.'
Then it goes to the spread board where it is
laid out straight and of as uniform thick
ness as possible, in four lines, on endless
aprons that carry it up to hackle like teeth,
that hold it straight aud steady while It is
subjected to the drawing action of rollers
moving faster than its delivery. The soft,
even band Of straight fibers thus formed is
called a silver Twelve Of these are put into

New Way to Get Money.

The inventor of one of the latest;swindles
In New York usually represents himself as
an Englishman. He has decided cockney
accent, is always well dressed, and presents
very genteel appearance. When he thinks
he has an easy prey he approaches his vic
him with eye glass in hand. From one rim
the pebble is missing. Hefexplains that he
has just dropped the glass and shattered it.
The remaining glass is simply shade for an
eye that is totally blind, and by the broken
glass he is unable to. see at ALL He is a
stranger in a strangelland, and is, unfortu.
nately, without money. If the gentleman
would kindly loan him the amount with
which to replace the broken glass he will be-
able to return it soon, for when he can see he
will be enabled to attend to remuneratiya
business.
Then, to- cap the climax, the fraud gives
an illustration of his blindness by walking
against the wall, or fence, or building,
as the circumstances permit, and humping
his head. This generally catches the victim
who goes down in the pocket and brings
forth soma change, ranging from 10 cents up
to,Sl. The blind fakir is profuse in thanks,
and feels his way out from the presence Of
bis benefactor only to lie in wait for an
other victim-New York Sun.
