not Danish these two highly troublesome feminine
s'Theologues." Doubtless, if modern custom
had sanctioned this, the grave Faculty would have
taken water, and in the sight of the on-ooking
public would have washed clean their hands in
token Of entire non-complicity. As matters were,
there seemed to be no recourse except that of
banshing us from among the counted, accredited
and accepted members of our class. The sacred
doors were only opened with wide welcome for the
favored male sex. Accordingly, for three success
sye years our names, printed in the catalogue of
students, were each "hitched to a STAR but it
pointed only to foot-note which set forth the
legend: "Resident graduate pursuing the Theo-
logical course" When that course had been pur-
sued to its customary end, these stars slipped
down and out, dragging with them two names,
which then disappeared entirely from the thsolog-
leal record.
But it is possible to make even a difficult pro-
gress with dignity. In this year of grace, 1890,
after forty years of eclipse, our names appear at
last in their rghtful places in the authentic cata-
logue but the sinister stars do not again appear
above the horizon. They have not been apotheo-
sized.

How the Original Package Men We're
Routed From Okolona.

0KoLoNA ARK, Janury l, 1891
Editor Womans Chronicles
The first work of Importance in the temperance
line at this place this year was prohibiting the
original package.
AS soon as the news was widespread Of the de-
csion of the Supreme Court, making it legal to
sell Intoxicating liquors in the original package in
prohibited districts, some parties at once decided
to open shop in direct violation Of the we'll
known wishes of the majority of our people, and
it is needless to add the better part of the people,
The citizens, always on the alert, were ready for
the emergency, and when the original package
men went to neighboring town on the Iroa
Mountain railroad to order license from Chris
tian (?) government, and to lay in supply of
liquors, petition was Immediately circulated
among the real estate holders, obligatlng them
selves not to rent or sell their houses for such
business.
Three houses and two lots were owned by men
residing in Texas, Little Rock and Prescott.
courier and dispatches were Immediately sent to
the absent parties and their lots and houses rented,
and IN twenty-fou hours the O. p. men had liter
ally not place to even stretch tent in which to
vend the devils own broth. This proceeding took
courage, time and money, but the work will stand,

found wanting had it not have been used to good
purpose. How does the State and the United
States appreciate such conduct? They frown upon
it and say, send us your money and we will send
you license to sell liquor in any town, or commit
nity and furthermore we will protect by our laws
any man who goes into such town and takes or
ders and receives money on the spot for liquors,
and furthermore they say it is legal for any ex-
press company to carry and deliver Intoxicating
liquors G. 0. d.
The government becomes an enemy where it
should be friend. 'Wounded in the house Of a
friend" So far and no farther can we go. After
all our efforts in the right direction for the ad-
vancement Of our town, the jug trade confronts
us, monster terrible, and we women and chill
dren stand appalled, before it, because it threatens
to invade our homes and we are poweress to him
der its coming.
Oh, Lord, how long shall we stand thus, help
less and impotent, exposed to the jug traffic?
1t seems expedient that petition should go to
the next Legislature from every temperance or
ganizaton, and every church that has not already
petitioned through their representative bodies, to
do.something; devise some means to break up the
jug trade in prohibited districts.

runs something like this: "Wee no i.

This sound cannot be made will
any effect except when the shad tra a,u

that the singing shad has favored in,
fishermen OF Delaware bay. Cant MT

coast of Bolivia and Chile There
they are quite common. All sorts d
fairy tales are narrated about them
by South American fishermen. The
singing shad also breed in Japanese
waters. The fishermen of Japan a,s
delighted when they strike a school Of
singing shad. They follow them up
reverently, because they believe thu
fish are inspired: They throw them
food and never catch or eat them"
The singing shad isdifferent from tho

in the formation of the mouth. Only
an expert fisherman can tell when b,
has caught one of the fnny songsters,
Old fisherman regard the musical shad
as prizes and do not send them to
market unless they are paid very
high price for them. 1t is estimated
that they travel IN schools OF about
five hundred. Their singing is pleas.
ant at first, but soon grows monot.
onous, owing to the fact that tits d
constant repetition of the same few
sounds. Whether many of these
peculiar fish ever go up on tn.

low His Enemy to Sleep.
John Griffin, a switchman employed
in the Southern Pacific yards OF this
city, and Hans Olsen, his next-door
neighbor, are not on very friendly
terms. The men live on San Fernan-
do street, near the corner OF Sotello,
and Griffin sleeps in the daytime. Re-
Gently Olsen became more bitter than
usual against Griffin and he deter
mined to get even. His plan was to
purchase a fsh-horn and blow it
throughout the day in a room in his
own house right next to Griflin's Sleep
ing apartments. The scheme worked
to perfection, and the switchman put
in all the time when he should have
been sleeping cursing the Norwegian
and his horn.
At last Griffin had Olsen arrested
for disturbing the peace. When the
latter appeared in the Police Court he
carried his invalid wife in his arms,
and so worked on the sympathies OF
the court that he was allowed to 90,
for a month on his good behavior.
The first thing Olsen did when re-
leased was to buy ahand-organ. The
organ took the place OF the horn and
has been going steadily at the Olsen
mansion nearly ever since. When
Griffin heard the soothing strains Of
"Annie Rooney" and other similar
melodies come floating through the
cracks in the thin board partition he
was wild. A new warrant was sworn
out and Olsen was again taken back
to jail, and Griffin, hollow eyed and
weary, saw his fendish enemy safe be-.
hind the bars and then went home to
rest. He laid down in bed and pre-
pared for good, hard sleep, but. he
had scarcely touched the pillow before

came forth from the organ. Mrs. Oh

Griffin now wants the woman arrest
ed also, but as the District Attorney
is in grave doubt as to whether an OF

es to play the hand organ in his own;
castle he will await the outcome Of
the case against the husband before
issuing more warrants.-l1os Angeles,

A TRAVELLING PLANT.
The Strange Sight Witnessed by
Railroad Passenger.


was sitting in passenger car, look
ing out over q stretch ofprairie landin
the great Arkansas Valley. The day
was windy-indeed, a ship captain who
sat next me said it was "half gale"
though, judging from the way the wind
shrieked past us, should not have
thought of using q fraction in describ-
ing it.
Suddenly q number of elegantly
shaped, slight built animals appeared
in the distance and rushed toward the
moving train. The wind, the antelopes
for such they proved to be-and the
train engaged In race, in which the
antelopes for a short time held their
own. But what most astonished me
was that the antelopes were pursued
by great gray balls, some of which
were from four to five feet in diameter.
No one of our party could imagine
what these were, never having heard
OF anything of the kind. We watched
the curious sight until the locomotive
and the wind left the antelopes and
the pursuing balls far behind us.
To increase our interest, however,
many more such balls could be seen
on the windward side of the track, pll.
ed up against the wire fences and in
ravines and gullies along our onward
route.
l afterward learned that what our
party saw were known to the plains
men as "tumble-weeds," and to bot
anists as the Cycloloma plalyphylium.
1t belongs to a genus of plants that
grow into a thick, globeshaped mass
OF twigs and small branches, attached
to their roots each by g. small stem,
which in the fall becomes dry and
brittle; and, as the autumn winds
sweeps over the prairie, these stems
break off, and the tumble-weeds go
bounding away, scattering their seeds
as they go.
Antelopes and jack-rabbits, grouse
and prairie dogs are put to flight, cat
tie are stampeded and the road-beds
clogged by these flying masses OF
brushwood.-St. Nicholas.

GROWING BETTER.

Hon. HENRY WATTERsoN, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Journdl, recently ad-
dressed the students of the University of
Virginia, and in the course of his remarks
said: "Our country is not getting worse;
it is getting better, and we are masters of
the greatest country on the globe. We
have the most perfect system of govern
ment We have nothing from without to
fear. and within we have but two great
dangers-the taste for money and the devil
of party spirit"
1t is both refreshing and encouraging to
hear words like these from one of the most
radical of political partisans, and a gentle
man who, in his profession as politician and
journalist, like so many of the newspaper
fraternity, is eternally insisting that
the country is going to the "dem-
milton bow wowsn We fear it must
be admitted that politicians and too
many newspaper men-and the confession
is not exclusive as to the party to which
the politicians and journalists belong-are
given to drawing rather gloomy pictures
of the present and future of the nation and
people-if the other party shall be in power
We believe that Mr.. WATTERsoN states the
case correctly, and we know it is to his
credit to be thus frank and fair. The
country is getting better rather than worse.
The people are growing better instead of
worse. 1t may be that there Is not so
much Of intense piety as formerly pre-.
vailed, but the piety which is so rigid as to
be painful is not an evidence of inherent
goodness. 1t is believed in this age that
one need not make himself miserable in
order to be what is called good. AS for
public morals, they are no worse now than
in those days to which the pursts and
faultfnders Of the present time refer.
The government, which is perfect in
theory and the best on earth in practice
steadily grows better, and necessarily so.
for the people whose general trend is ever
in the direction of right, are in control and
are always watchful; they are quick to de
tect evils, quick to note departures
from the true principles underlying the
government Of the state, and are not slow
