Another Rouss Surprise.

The Friendship Steam Fire Co., at
the regular meeting last Thursday eve
ming had the pleasure of genuine
surprise in the shape of $50 present
ed to them by Mr.. C. b. Rouss
through his Honor Mayor Wm. NJ.
Atkinson. The Mayor made the pre-
sentation speech in his usual happy
manner and all of his references to
the generous donor struck q rcspon-
sive chord in the breast of every gal
liant fire laddie present. It seems
that our distinguished friend, the
wealthy Broadway On. Y. } merchant,
never weries in we'll doing. To the
unstinting and lavish disbursing of
his golden ducats Winchester can to-
day boast of the best steam fire de-
partment of any city of its size in the
United States.
In the fire annals of Winchester
during the 18th century there will
stand forth two names which will be
engrafted 'Iike apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" on the pages of our
city's history that will be read of and
honored by unborn generations, viz:
MISS SARAH ZANE who, in the begin
ming of this century, left in her will
a sum of money to purchase an en-
gine which is still extant, in its orig
inal antiquated shape, in the possess
sion of the Sarah Zane Co., and Mr..
CHARLES BROADWAY RoUss who, dur
ing the closing years of the century,
and while living, gave large sums to
equip the several companies of to-day
with three magnificent steamers of the
latest style and make.

PoETIcAL.
HoW She Col E4en. /.

our birthday we stood at the gate,
And hushed was our lively talk,
AS with rcd hair pretty maid
Came tripping along the walk.
For Just behind her on the road,
There trotted pure white horse,
And, as we thought of the joke,
We smiled, as a matter of course.
She saw us smile, then glanced behind,
And her checks with anger burned,
She gave her head a scornful toss,
AS around to us she turned.
A naughty look she gave, then said:
:" 1 always make it a rule,
Whenever white horse sec,
To look around for fool"

full inyention-any one can see it by
calling around to tire business Office

"this is only a sample received 40

You receive the writing on slip,

find it there when you come in. 1t
will be a grand thing for newspaper

SOUTHERN GRASSES

1t IS prevailing belief, says the Amer
lean Agrlculturist, that grass will not
grow IN the Southern States; that is,
among the Northern people. This comes
OF the facts in the case not being known.
he people with this belief DO not know,
as the writer does, that in August next a
crop OF natural grasses will be Elown in
the South which will make at least three
IONS OF the best hay per acre. This is one
tact. Another is that Northern man
Tno went to Georgia a few years ago,
seeing balcd hay at every railroad sta
ton, and being offered plantation at a
very low price, which was abandoned be-
cause crab grass (Rmic>l4e StYyrilale)
had taken possession Of it, purchased it
he procured moving machines, and made
more than three hundred tons of hav the
ilrst year, which more than paid for the
land. Tbs fact is known to the writer
Moroove. these Southern grasses are not
only we'll known in the South to be per-
sistent and prolific, and to yield excellent
hay ana pasture, bit they Ave well known
at the Nor.h, whore 1hey give farmers
and garuene a great deal OF trouble TO

Of tbs ca which is ScrloaS enough in
other ways, thao farmers in the South and
North busy themselves and spend much
Labor in trying to destroy Is pesfiferous

try exceedingly valuable for green fodder

A gentleman writing to The Jewish
Exponent, of Philadelphia, says: 'Sev,
eral years ago l commenced writing fol
the daily papers, making a speciality OF
Jewish news. For several weeks, when
one of the co~py-readers would handle
my copy for the first time, l would be
called to the front and warned not to
use the word Jew, as some of our lead
ing Jewish residents had frequently
taken the paper to task for using the
word, viewing its usage as an intended
slur, and this was said to a paper whose
advertising columns TEEN with the
names of representative Jewish mer-
chants"
The readers of The Tidings will OBJ
serve that this paper does not hesitate to
use the word jew whenever occasion de
mands. In fact, the word is infinitely
preferable TO hat of Hebrew, and i'm
plies a great deal more. The word Jew
has come to be regarded as referring to
religion. and the word Hebrew to IAN

them as Jews are a sorry lot and deserve

taste, does it? Well, now, the sweetest
water i aver tasted was when / was
down to Frisco ten years ago. You know
that fountain in the square with the iron
cup chained to IL? / used to go down
there every day while 1 was in the city
to take a drink from hat fountain"
Reservoir water and lead pipesl" ex-
claimed the city man, and a public cup
rusty, tool'
The old mountaineer chuckled n mo-
ment before replying, 81 reckon you've
forgotten it cost me several days time
and $40 in carfare to git where 1 could
git a taste from that rusty free cup, just
the same as it cost you to git up here
and stick your nose into that spring in
the ground.
II tell you what, young mister, it's the
trouble 1t costs to git things that sweeter
their taste, every time. YOUTHS Com.
