How Parents Can Make Childhood a
Season of JOv.

The time of childhood ghtessentially
to be time of Joy, as far as it lies in the
parents power to make it so for their
children. We older beings know full well
what cares and pains the years will bring
to each and all. The glad, awakening
soul of a child sees only world of sun
shine, with fair flowers growing by the
wayside ready to be plucked by the eager
hands. The fields, the trees, and the blue
sky overhead are sources of unfailing de-
light Give child plenty of fresh air
and sunshine, with full liberty to tire it's
little limbs in healthy play. Never fret
over dress and torn garments. A healthy
child will not keep clean for ten minutes
together, do what you will. They must
be here, there and everywhere until night
brings peaceful sleep. But we must not
think child has no sorrow. No, they
come and go quickly, leaving small trace
behind. They are very real while they
last. The heart of a sensitive child is a
strange and delicate structure, and
should be most gently handled. Many
an unjust action or unkind word on the
part of the elders is laid up and remem-
bered by the little one perhaps, for years.
Beware of how you bring sense of the
worlds injustice to be blot on the fresh
heart of child by unjust punishment; be
quite sure of fault before you punish.
Children have a keen sense of Justice. /
have known small child to bear de-
| served punishment without murmur,
when word or two of unjust blame has
called forth quite a storm of passion. /
know it is very difficult for over-tasked
mothers always to repress one angry word
in or out of season. Yetchildren are only
| small images of ourselves after ALL They
! will be fretful and out of sorts at times as
we are, and if fwefeelirritable and bad tenn
pered because we are tired or not over
we'll, can we expect these small mites to
set us good example? No, but let us do
the best we can to set them one, always
remembering that, keen as is a child's ca
pacity for enjoyment, so is it's capacity
for feeling grief or pain.

this troublesome comfort" is to us, and
what unspeakable mourning there would
be in our household, should the sweet eyes
never open again, and the dear little
fingers never find any more mischief to
do. Blessings on the dear little man.
Are there any more babies like ours?

Our Small Boy.

Our Small Boy.
There is small boy in our family who
is about the best specimen OF live, roll
licking boy as you often see. The neigh
borhood is pretty well aware of his
presence, to say nothing of the inmates of
the family, who have about all they can
do to preserve the equilibrium of the
home circle since his arrival some less
than two years ago. There is some
emergency or other turningup all the time
where he is concerned In fact, it is i'm
possible to tell for a certainty (fOr he
never let's us into the secret) the nature
OF the business he has on hand. A light
ening's flash is no quicker than baby's
fingers to pull down the books, turn over
the lamps, pull up the flowers, all of
which he can do with the utmost uncon-
cern, the least depression of spirit, and a
matter OF course air, unequaled by any
practiced harlequin in masterful sleight-of-
hand performances. No twinges of con-
science, nor twingesof any thing else, have
any effect in helping this young tornado
to "keep the peace" The vicissitudes of
life never seem to make much impression
on him. AS a general thing nothing
makes much difference to him.
When released in the early morning,
from his enforced sleep, with clean washed
face and hands, this young hopeful dis
appears at once with the utmost regular
ity and prOmptness to carry out the
schemes his night dreams have perfected
Certain squabbles with cats and dogs
ensue. Forthwith he energies from under
the house with two or more young felines
stoutly grabbed by the tips of their
tails and skin of their necks, and amid
hOwlings, screeches and scratches,
they are only released by the more euphon-
ious and suggestive sound of the milk
mans bell.
To provide against the trickery, cum
ming and wariness of this small boy in
our family requires the tact and skill of
greater generals than Alexander or Grant
Did they, we wonder. guard a faucet in a
water tank all day or provide against
young brains being dashed from upper
storied windows, or down big fights of
stairs, and to decide such momentous
questions as, not how that boy got into
that hole, but how he was to be got out?
After all when the tired little feet, which
have seemingly trudged miles to-day are
still, the large blue eyes which never fail
to see some new mischief on hand, are
closed. the chubby little hands which
meddled so persistently with our work
basket and papers, are quietly folded by
his side, and the blessed relief for time
which follows the announcement, ''baby's
asleep" do we realize what a blessing

has been a great selief 10 the neigh

Lieut.. t. r. Knight, of the Indian
police force came in from the Ohero-
kee Strip, where he is detailed for
service, last week. Three.fourths of
the Strip he does not consider worth
81. .25 an acre, nor any like sum, in 100
acre tracts which would only be avail
able for farms. This conclusion he
arrives at after witnessing the dis
tressing situation of the people who
are living upon similar lands, adjoin-
ing, in Kansas. They have raised no
crops for several years and many OF
them are in abject want-men who
went there with both money and stock.
In tracts of 10000 acres or upwards,
which could be utilized as stock ranges,
Mr.. knight thinks the lands would
yield very good interest on Sl.25 an
acre, or even more. The eastern por-
tion, which might be termed Arkansas
Valley, and is drained by that river, is
very fertile and productive. The esti-
mate Of the entire strip is 100000
acres Of tillable land to 100000 OF
aiid.
"A gentleman from st. Louis who
had occasion to visit this country
quite recently, was relating his expe-
rience of the trip at tIe hotel one

Presently a handsome train of Pull
man cars, drawn by still handsomer
locomotive. rolled into the station and
polite and uniformed porter an
nounced that passengers for Kansas,
Colorado and all points in the west
would take the train on the first track.
An intelligent looking group Of people
got aboard and the train departed. A
few minutes later second train
much like the first, drew up to the de.
pot and again the obsequious porter
directed passengers for Arkansas
Texas aud the southwest TO take the
train on the second track, and another
group Of ladies and gentlemen came
forth. A long pause ensued and ther

ing three dirty old coaches, moyeC

made no announcements for this train

other sore-eyed individuals, dragge'
themselves on board and came to-

KNITTED BY THE PASTOR.
A Preacher Stabs His Assailant to Death
in n Pulpit.

MACON, Ca, Dec. 26-At a country
church in Coffee County, this State, Sum
day, a man was killed by a preacher
in charge of the church. Trouble had
existed in the church, one faction fav-
oring the retention of the pastor and the
other favoring his dismissal. The factional
fight grew very bitter, and the trouble
reached a climax last Sunday when the
pastors friends voted him in for another
year. One of the members most bitterly
opposed to the pastor approached the pull
pit whore the reverend gentleman was sit
ting and engaged in conversation with
him. They became very much excited,
and finally the member raised his hand
and dealt the preacher a sharp blow on
the cheek. The pastor demonstrated
with his assailant but he struck
the preacher again and again,
accompanying the blows with pro-
fusion Of vile epithets and also splitting
in the minister's face. The minister drew
his knife and stabbed his assailant re-
peatedly. Women screamed and the men
looked on aghast, while the unfortunate
man fell down in the pulpit and died. The
friends OF the minister hurried him out,
and IL is reported that he has fed the
eou'SAvy. II Is intimated that the dead
maj had cause to be. jealous Of the

LECTURE FORBIDDEN.

Lucy Parsons.

CnlcagO POI1ce Forbid n Lecture by Mrs.
Lucy Parsons.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Handbills were wide
ly distributed yesterday, announcing that
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the wife of the execu-
ted anarchist, would lecture in Waverly
Hall last night. One of the bills was
handed to Chief of Police Hubbard, who
sent Lieutenant Laughlin to Mr.. Laurie,
the proprietor of the hall, with instructions
to order him not to open the place. Mr..
Laurie was not satisfied with the message
and called Immediately upon the chief. II
shall send an officer to you to-night," said
the chief to Mr.. Laurie, "who will demand
the key of the hall from you. He will then
station n policeman at the door, who will
forbid admission to the hall. You are per-
fectly helpless in the matter and any re-
sponsibility there is will be upon the
police"
The wording of the subject of the lecture
was trifie ambiguous. in that it might in
clude any or all phases of Anarchy and
Socialism. There was no doubt in the
minds of the police that Mrs. Parsons in
tended to say something to cause her ar
rest.
Said Chief Hubbard: "Mrs. Parsons can
advertise herself ell she pleases, but We
will not help her to do it We have
private information that she intended
to make a violent Anarchistic harangue.
Then we would have been compelled
to arrest her, and you can be sure
that it would have been magniiled in
every way by the Anarchists in the argu-
ment of their injunction suit to-day. The
attempted lecture was simply for effect.
1t is we'll known that Mrs. Parsons can not
refrain from talking of Anarchy if she
gets a chance, and we will not experiment
with her further. She simply can not
speak in Chicagov
