THE ROCKER.

Backward and forward the rocker goes,
Waiting the baby to sweet repose;
Close by the cradle the mother croons
Lullaby, rock-a-bye nursery tunes;
Dreamily singing she patiently tries
Sleep to bring to the baby's eyes.
Minute by minute the evening fits,
Still in the chair she drowsily sits;
Soothing and rubbing the aching gums.
Longing for slumber that meyer comes;
Rocking the baby that fretfully lies,
Filling the room with its nervous ciies.
Weary with watching the mother sings,
Wooing the god with the leaden wings;
Softer and softer the ditty grows,
Now the little ones eye!ids close;
Sinking at last into dreamland deep;
Mother and baby are fast asleep.

Even the much despised tramp
has often more honor than he's
given credit for, as witness the fol-
lowing from New Jersey: "Four-
teen years ago tramp knocked
at the door of Daniel Palmer, in
South Orange township, Essex
county, and asked for a hat. By
mistake one of the daughters gave
him her fathers best silk hat, dis
covering the mistake just as the
tramp started away with it. An
exclamation by her sister apprised
the tramp of the prize he had re-
ceived. Little thought was after
ward given to the matter until
few mornings ago, when clean,
new hat box was found on the
front porch. 1t contained a new
silk hat, and this explanation
within slip of paper: To re-
place your fathers best silk hat.

A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.

BY our convenient system o1
checking baggage we can ENJOY
immunity from annoyance about
trunks, ETC., in transit across the
continent. John Palmer Of
Union city, Mich. is the inventor
of the baggage check system. In
early days he was in great de-
mand, for his violin enlivened
many and many winter night.
One great annoyance he eXper-
fenced was the constant trouble
had in finding their coats, caps,
hats, wraps, robes, etc, after the
party broke up. 1t was announc-
ed that there was to be a big
dance at Burlington on Thanks
giving evening, about 1850, and
Mr.. Palmer was to have charge OF
the music. He knew that there
would be a terrible crowd there
and that there would be lots of
trouble with the clothing, and he
went to work to devise a plan to
obviate it. The more he planned
the further he got from solution.
So the night before the party he
retired dreading the work of the
morrow. He says that about 3 a.
m. s,next morning hesswas aroused
by queer sensation; that in front
of him, as it were. were two cards
just alike. What did that mean?
His work for the day came to him,
and he asked the question, "what
do the two cards meanY Well,
after studying on 1t long time he
seemed to solve the mystery. He
got out eight cards marked them
in pairs-1 1,2 3, 3 3, land one
of the greatest blessings to the
business world was born. Now
for the first test He had four
children; he took their shoes and
stockings, tied each lot up by
themselves, put tags l. 2, 3, 4, on
each lot, and put them away.
When the children got up they
inquired for their shoes. He gave
each one check that correspond
ed with the check on their shoes
and told them to go into the other
room and pick out their own by
comparing the numbers. Each
child got its own. Success. Now
for a trial on larger scale. He
prepared a lot of checks in the
same way for the guests at the
party. About the first to arrive
were four railroad men from Mar
shall. Three took their checks;
one would not have the thing and
threw it On the floor. When they
called for their clothes they had
forgotten all about the checks and
demanded their things. Mr.. Pal
mer asked them for their checks.
After hunting some time the three
produced their checks and at once
received their goods. They bad
to identify the goods for the fourth
man. Well, it surprised them to
be able to get their things so
prompt and sure. They talked
about it among themselves, but
did not seem to fully comprehend
it. Shortly after that there was
another party at Burlington, and
among the first to arrive were six
railroad men from Marshall, in
the first four. They said
that they wanted their things
the same as before. They
watched the plan the whole even
ing and went away convinced that
they had found grand idea. In
side OF three months it was
adopted by the railroad companies
of the United States.

The Louisiana Democrat., 1890-09-10
An Anti-Lottery Blunder.

The anti-lottery convention, recently
in session at Baton Ronge, made d
blunder when it asked Congress to
interfere.
Louisiana has an indisputable right
to grant or refuse a charter to a lottery
company, and the general government
has nothing to do with it.
We found it necessary few weeks
ago to call attention to the fact that
congressional legislation was not need
ed in the matter of original packages,
and pointed to Gcorgia's example.
In this State where the home rule idea
reigns supreme our people attend to
local affairs themselves, without ask
ing outside permission or assistance.
The original package trouble was set
tied in Georgia in less than a week.
The lottery question should stand
on similar footing. We had lotte-
ry many years ago, but the people
smashed it when they decided to get
rid of it, and that was the last OF ii.
Our Louisiana friends should stick to
home rule, and not ask the federal
government to do what they have the
power to do themselves. If the ma.
jority of the people through their rep
resentatives charter lottery, the mi
nority should submit. If, as the antis
charge, Legislators were bribed, the
guilty parties should be hunted down
and punished.
But the circumstances of the case
do not Justify the abandonment of the
homo rule idea. The action of the
anti-lottery convention strengthens the
centralists and makes it easier for
them to encroach upon the reserved
rights of the States.
A lottery is a bad thing, but it
would he better to let it run twenty
five years longer in Louisiana, than
to appeal to Caesar -[Atlanta Con-
stitution.
The Louisiana Democrat., 1890-09-10

A CAMPAIGN OF REAsoN.-The
lottery revenue question, which the
people of Louisiana will have at no
very distant date to pass upon, is one
of tho gravest Importance. The de-
dision may seriously rctard or happily
forward her prosperity in a way that
must affect the welfare of the present
generation to very important degree.
Yet it is merely economic ques-
tion after all, despite air-sawing ora
tory to the contrary; therefore it
should be discussed before, and weigh.
by, the people, as would any other
grave business conceru-on its intrin-
sic merits. This result will he large
ly assured by the Progressive League
of Louisiana, an organization which
already embraces in its membership
much Of the best blood, brains and
Drawn of this city and State. In
view of this impending campaign of
reason, Which will give full hearing
and calm consideration to all phases
of the subject the suggestion Of the
League regarding the signing of Anti
Lottery pledges is timely and appro-
pirate. A cause that cannot face the
,, logic of the situation, that substitutes
frenzy for common sense, and seeks to
| bind in alvance those who NAV for
the moment have given way to preju-
dice or misinformation, is as a house
built upon the sands.--[New Orleans

A BOON FOR SUFFERING WOMAN

If there are times in life that try mems
souls there are also times that try wo-
mems souls. AS woman's organization i'll
general is more delicate than mans, so
she has special functions of far more
delicate character, which render her
much more liable to arrangement and
disease, and which require much more
skillful and careful treatment. No class
of diseases tests a physicians skill or a
medicines efficacy pore severely than
Female Diseases. No medicine has ever
proved more successful in the cure OF
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that
most trying of periods, which every mid
dle-aged woman must pass through, Pc
ru-na has proved a true boon to the sex.
81 had been great sufferer for three
years." writes Mrs. S. Smith, of Hills
