Last Tuesday, Mr.. Winston, a
Minneapolis contractor, entered the Of
flee of Manager Driscoll, of the Pioneer
Press, and administered to him a blow
on the jaw, because that paper had as
serted in its editorial columns, that Mr..
Winston had helped pad the Minneapo-
lis census. Whether there was any
truth in the papers statement or not,
the action. of Mr.. Winston should not
meet with public approval. While Mr..
Driscoll may have deserved it, in these
days, men of standing should not re-
duce their dignity so far as to resort to
their fists as a means of correcting the
abuse OF a maligner. Aside from giving
a little dissatisfaction or self revenge,
there is nothing to come of disfguring
and toying with the countenance of a
man from whom you would receive a
retraction, and besides it is not manly.
Such revenge is weak, aid had Mr..
Winston left it to public opinion to set
him Alright and shame the Pioneer Press,
it would have been much more to his
credit and at the same time far more
effectual. However, the feelings of Mr..
Driscoll, which were expressed in the
next issue of the Pioneer Press, are no
less beneath a person of his position.
They are not what they ought to have
been, and he will receive no pity over
his provoked chastisement. We have
heard of a case where it cost man
$500 to whip an editor, but it would be
difficult to find jury that would award
anything like that amount to Driscoll.

should incite the Republicans Of this

every American citizen, rich or poor,

Mr.. Anderson's Queer Experience
With a Shiny Creature of the Sea.

Mr. AnderSOn5 queer Experiences
With Shiny Creature of the Sea.
From The Taco ma News.
@. II. Anderson had a thrilling experis
ence with a devil fish in Commemorate
bay last week. He had been cruising about
in the little steam launch Daisy with a
pleasure party, and when opposite the coaA
bunlxers on the way into port some obstruc-
ton blocked the screw. The boat was
given terrible wrench and the little screw
began to thump, thump, thump against the
hull of the launch. Imagining that piece
of kelp had become entangled in the screw
Mr.. Anderson, stopping the engine, calmly
rolled up his sleeve and thrust his arm down
at the stern and grasped the wrigglin&
mass, the outlines OF which were only indis-
tinctly discernable Ia the gathering dusk
AS ne graspsd the Shiny mass TO loosen id
from the screw he felt a crawling sensation
and knew that his arm was being enofroled
by some reptile.
Then followed q sensation as of hundred
leeches sucking, and the strength of a mau
being exerted TO draw him overheard. MIR.
Anderson ner we'd himself for a final effort,
aud the tentacle wrapped about his arm
parted from the body OF the monster. As
he drew himself upward the tentacle re-
Taxed its hold and fell back into the WATER
III might have held on to it, said Mr..
Anderson this morning, had L not been
more intent on holding on TO my own armsD
"How large was 1T"
"Only little one" said he.
"How big 10 thatf" asked the reporter,
and Mr. Anderson indicated the size of tho
tentacle that had enwrapped his arm By
holding his hands eighteen or twenty inches
apart
A mass Of twenty-inch tentacles with
body about tho size of water bucket
would make a very formidable monster,
notwithstanding his protestations to the
contrary.
The screw Of the propeller was wrenched
nearly off the rod b." the animal, and its
blades show the abrasions made by thump-
ing the little vessels bottom. Around Mr..
| Anderson's arm, in An advancing circle. are
a series OF little spots, which, on Friday
night. were very sore, showing where the
suckers of the tentacles had fastened them
selves. Mr.. Anderson supposes his enoounter
to have been with a devil fish.

Credulous Ones Send Sta mps to tho
President for a Watch Charm.
From the Chicago Tribune
Every mail delivery at the white house
reveals an astonishing amount Of credulity
on the part of the people of this country,
but it has been reserved for some clever
rogue TO make trouble for President and
people by means Of an ingenious ADVERTISE
ment For several weeks past letters have
been coming to the executive mansion in
closing three 2-cent stamps and requesting
by return mail promised watch charm or
bangle Tnis was all Greek to the Presi-
dent aud those who have charge of
asserting his mail matter, but in the big
leather pouch to-day there came an
explanation of the mystery. Chicago
girl not only wrote to the President and
sent the usual quota Of postage stamps ask
ing for bangle, but she also inclosed a
copy of the advertisement which induced
her TO write the lettor. A small vignette Of
the President, with big beaver hat, ia dis
played in small frame, the inscription at
the heal being: "a National Miniature
Under the lower line OF the frame are the
words "Tiny Ben" (neani1g Benjamin Har
rison Mckee,, followed by reading notice,
which has been directed TO be placed in
column of the newspaper printing IL Zone

ment is as follows:

to Introduce il to the public Inciose three red
headed stamps to pay for packing and postage.

A correspondent in Wisconsin writes:

the national miniature, which j want to
wear ON my watch-chain." Theee are only
two samples out of a drawerful Of letters
on the same subject, and they are post
marked from different points all over the
United States. A touching appeal from
little girl was received to-day, and her case
will pi obably be given serious consideration
by the Pres dent. In her artless way she
writes:

sTRANGLED TO DEATH AT PERRY.

Tom Voolfolk, who was convict
ed of numbering nine persons, in
Bibb county, among them his faith
er, step mother, baby sister, sister
Pearl, his brother Richard and 9TH
ers, was hung at Perry, Ga, on last
Wednesday, October 10Th. He died
protesting his innocence.
Voolfolk had written state.
ment, which DR.. E. w. Warren,
read at the gallows. 1t was as fol-
lows:
|, Thomas G. Voolfolk, realizing
the existence Of an infinite, wise and
holy God, SO as to meet Him, know
ing all that [ have ever done, and
fully understand that / must stand
before the judgment bar of God,
and that today, in a few hours,
shall be called into his presence, do
solemnly declare my innocence, and
leave as my declaration that I did
not take the life OF my father, OF
any member of his family, or have
any knowledge of the persons who
did the murderous deed.
THOMAS O. WeorEoT
''Have you anything more to say,
Tcm?' asked the sheriff.
Nothing; only I'd like to pray
myself"
"All right
Every one stepped back except
the sheriff, who remained beside
Voolfolk. He closed his eyes, and
raising his face toward the skies, be-
gan:
: Oh, Thou Omnipotent Being who
presides over all things, hear this
my last prayer, my last petition to
Thy Throne of Grace. Thou, know
est the iDnermost thoughts OF my
heart, Thou knowest the sins have
committed, and for them [ beg for

cy on my soul, which l now entrust,
to Thy keeping. Make it pure and
clean. God bless my sisters Bless
those who have gone before me.
Forgive all those who have abused
me, and accept my soul for Jesus
sake. Amen.
Voolfolk bid all goodbye, and
Sheriff Cooper pulled the trigger
and Voolfolk was launched into
eternity.

SAVE BY KEEPING ACCOUNTS.

If all men whether engaged in
business or acting as employees, and
receiving salaries or daily wages,
would keep regular account with
themselves, in which should appear
in detail all the money they receive
and all they eXpend, they would
live more wisely and, as a rule, far
more successfully. Here, for exam
pie, is man is in receipt of salary.
The salary he receives is in twelve
monthly payments.
Let ussrppose him to keep an &C.
count with himself. When he re-
ceives a monthly payment he charg-
es himself as debtor to that amount,
and during the month he credits
himself with all he pays out, item
by item. And the end of the month
he settles this account with himself.
and sees on paper just where his
money came from and just where ii
has gone. Ii he has spent less than
he has received he carries the sur
plus forward to the next month in
the same way, and thus continues
for the whole year. At the end Of
the year he can look back over the
whole period and see in black and
white just how he has lived in the
matter of personal and family ex,
penses. If his whole salary has
been spent he can see how it was
spent, and if a part OF it has been
saved he can equally see how he has
managed to save it.

Man must have an occupation, Oh
be miserable. Toll is the price OF
sleep and appetite, Of health and en-
joyment. The very necessity which
overcomes our natural sloth is a
blessing. The whole world does not
contain a briar or thorn which di-
vine mercy could have spared. We
are happier with the sterility, which
we can overcome by industry, than
we could have been with spontan-
eous plenty and unbounded protus-
ion. The body and the mind are
improved by the toll that tatigues
them. The toll is thousand times
rewarded by the pleasure which it
bestows. Its enjoyments are pecu-
liar. No wealth can purchase
them. They flow only from the ex-
ertions which they repay.

day there was seated in the car one
of Holyoke's legal lights, accompan-
led by his wife and his six-year- old
son and heir, whose sole ambition
in life at present is to learn to whis-
tie. The windows were open, and
the boy had been holding on to his
hat with one hand for fear it would
blow away. The conductor coming
in slammed the door, and for an in
slant the boy let go his hat. His
father reached around through the
window and whisked it off his head.
The boy vas disconsolate. "Look
straight ahead and whistle for it,
and it will come back said his
father.
Il can't whistle; I'm too mad"
"Well, then, I'll try" and the
dignifed lawyer whistled few bars

forwards placed the hat on the boys

long parting look at the Georgia hills
away in the south and rolled out in
to that most beautiful country,
Southeast tennessee. Here acre
after acre Of pasture lands upon
which droves of mules and horses
were feeding stretched away as far
as the eye could reach. Knoxville
was finally reached and found to be
a Rip Van Wrinkle waking from a
long sleep A more dilapidated
town than the old part OF Knox
vile it would be hard to find, but
on the other hand a more neat and
live town it would be hard to find
than the new part, which Is, by the
way, about half OF the town.
Leaving Knoxville we go into
what is facetiously termed shat
God-forsaken country, East Tennes-
see.'' Nature certainly did not
create this country for Agriculture,
but her great smoky mountains
which pierce the very cerulean
dome Of heaven make il the NEST
inspiring country which in my mar
row travels l have ever seen.
Arriving at Bristol at twelve
o'clock we stayed fifteen minutes
and left at half past one. Some of
you geography boys explain this.
Wide fields now began to spread out
before us dotted with myriads of
daisies. Out from these fertile fields
we rush into the Alleghanies. The
