WHY HAVE THEY TITLES?
The Verbal Advertising Given Doctors
Preachers and SchOOlmaster.

It is a somewhat anomalous fact
that under our republican for of
government, where eveyone is sup
posed to be free and equal, we
should be SO desirous of having
handles to our names. Who ever
knew doctor who would miss an
opportunity to advertise himself as
DR.. SO and So? Or who would not re-
sent the simple everyday prefix
Mr.. The Rev. c. o. Lection would
feel deeply offended if the "Rever-
end was not always prefxed, Prof.
Whackem would feel equally indig-
nant if his title was not duly an
nounced.
1t is difficult to unravel the tan
gled web of the long forgotten past
and find the reason why the doctor,
the clergyman and the schoolmaster
are people of sufficient Importance
to have handles to their names,
while common people, everyday peo-
pie like bankers and journalists not
to mention the butcher, the baker
and the candlestick maker, have to
be contented with "Mr.n
| Why should a doctor be gratui-
tusly advertised wherever he goes
or is spoken of? Does he charge
such reasonable rates that we ought
to advertise him out of gratitudes Is
he such high and mighty person

not to be mentioned without his
verbal decoration? How would il
do to make the practice universe

across Browns pasture, past the
old mill, where they often play ball;
and mind Moses, don't come home
without the boys"
Moses prepared to obey his mis-
tress literally.
He went up to his little room in
the loft, gathered his few clothes to
gether, tied them in bundle, crept
down stairs softly, and made his
way to the woods, and thence to the
village. He took Rover along but
sent him home again with his mas
ter's letters after he had been to the
postoffice.
| Moses had told his mistress lie
to shield the boys. Well he knew
! they were many miles from home by
this time, he having put them into a
farmer S wagon at six o'clock that
morning, on their way to the near
est town, thence to go to a neighbor-
ing city.
In vain did the breakfast wait. In
vain did the angry father scold, and
the mother weep. The boys were
gone; the Dean household desolate.
Even the familiar black face of old
Moses was seen no more, he having
gone to seek his fortune elsewhere.
One week after that eventful morn
ing, two letters came to Mrs. Dean.
The first was from Daniel, and the
fond mother kissed it and covered the
boyish sentences with tears. It ran
thus:
Dear Mother-Forgive me for
running away. You believe in me
: but father does not; SO Thought, as
/ I am fourteen years old, l would

A new jail has just been completed
for Edgar county in Paris, Ills, costing
nearly $4,000. 1t has all of the modern
improvements, such as hot air, sewerage
and heating apparatus, the improved
system of prison doors by which every
cell door can be locked simultaneously,
and the entrance door to the cell room is
made in such a way that the turnkey, in
going in, is locked out Of the jail proper
before the cell room door can be un-
locked. Every appliance seemed to be
perfect, and the Jail committee was to
have received the Jail from the con-
tractors.
The day before the acceptance there
were two prisonersin the jail one for forg-
cry, the other a pickpocket. Early that
morning the pickpocket. a small, young
man, escaped by going down the stand
pipe into the hot air furnace, with which
each closet in the cells is connected.
The large tile which was cemented in
the stand pipe was removed with small
piece of iron, and the prisoner escaped.
The other prisoner stripped naked, and,
putting soap on his body, made the
same attempt to escape, but could not
get down into the sewer, and was found
in the pipe, head down, having beer in
there two hours. He could not be ex-
tricated until his body was ct aaaed.--

A few days since a gentleman with
two or three ladies rowed up Deal lake
to explore the head waters of that beau
tiful sheet. Thinking he nights see some
game he took his gun along.
Not having used the gun lately on the
way mp he thought he would fire it off
just to see If it was all right. Standing
mp in the boat he discharged the piece,
but the recoil Of the gun overcame his
equilibrium and over he went into the
lake.
The ladies', of course, screamed, and
one caught him by the heels, thus duck
ing his head under water. AS soon as
he could get his head to the surface he
told her to release his feet. But no, she
would not see him drown, and so she
pulled again, and under went his head q
second time. IL was repeated, and the
young man began to fear she was BEN
on keeping his head under water, and
with a violent kick he released her hold
and o was able to take care of him.

as mere boy he was tramping the

The superstition Of actors and actresses
extends to all the smallest minuti@ Of
their business, and one peculiar fad with
many of them is to seek out some little,
insignificant shop in some unfrequented
locality where they can buy their wigs,
their footwear, their powder and paint,
and so on. Happy is he or she who can
discover some such place that has been
little known before, for is 1t not an au-
curry of good fortune? Many theatrical
people abjure entirely the large and well
known establishments that deal in the
atrical supplies and give their patronage
to less pretentious places down town.
There is sort Of Freemasonry in the
profession by which the news of the find
ing of these small shops is passed from
ear to ear, SO that a considerable patron
