An Abomination.

Our esteemed contemporary falls into
a vulgar error when it says that the
young lady who is to wed the Rev.
Thomas G. Mlsted is to become that
worthy gentleman's helpmeet. We OBJ
ject to the word t'helpmeet." The only
excuse for its use is its usage by and
among ignorant people.
When God saw that it was not good
for man to be alone he said, ST will
make him an help meet for him" These
words, recurring in holy writ, have been
confounded by the careless and the un-
thinking, and the result is that abomina-
ton 'fhelpmeet."
Christ bade the Pharisees and Saddu-
Gees '<bring forth fruits meet for repent
ance." If we are to have helpmeet, why
should we not also have fruitsmeet?
The confusion of ideas induced by the
juxtaposition of certain words is felici-
tously illustrated by the old story of the
pastor who, rising in his pulpit, said:
Brethren, take for my text today a
part of the fifteenth verse Of the thir-
teenth chapter of the gospel according to
st. Mark, sTopknot, go DOWN. Chica-

The Late Capt. wallace.

Practical shoe Laeinx.

In unlacing a shoe with the present
style of hook the wearer must take the
laces entirely away from the hooks be-
fore the shoe can be removed. By a new
invention the laces on either side are run
in raised eyelets. To take the shoe off
the wearer simply pulls the top of the
shoe open without removing the laces
from the hooks. When the shoe is put
on it is securely fastened by pulling the
upper ends of the two laces. The shoe
is laced in second. With this patent,
it is claimed, lace shoe can be fastened
as quickly as man can put on Con-
gress shoe.-New York Telegram

was pressing upward through his golden
locks, tenderly enquired, "Uncle, why

politician was sitting on his overcoat In
one OF the plush covered chairs at the
Grand Pacific discussing the senatorial
outlook with an acquaintance, the. polite
thief stepped up to the guest, and tapping
him gently on the shoulder said, "You are
sitting on my overcoat, SIR" Oh, beg
your pardon" ," replied the guest as he
lifted himself from his garment, and,
continuing his discussion, let the fellow
walk off with $50 ulster. The guest
told his experience to Mr.. Sam Parker.

that's nothing. You go back to the same

Monday the thief Of nerve entered the
writing room of the Palmer house. A
man was sitting at the desk busily en-
gagged in writing. His new silk hat was
on the table not two inches from his ell
bow. The thief wore a black Derby,
without lining or sweatband When
he departed he wore the guests eight
dollar silk, leaving the worn out Derby
behind. But the man Of nerve was not
satisfied with that. He paid Palmer
house messenger boy twenty-five cents
to carry this note to his victim, "Oh,
where did you get that hat?'' This was
the first intimation the guest had of his
loss. Not long ago a guest was taking a
nap in one of the easy chairs in the ro-
tunda of the fremont house. The thief
stepped up to him, removed his new hat
from his head, and left an old slouch in
its place.-Chicago Tribune

A concert was given at the Congrega-

attended by large number of friends of
the school. The exercises were began by
singing by the audience assisted by an
augmented choir, which during the even
ing rendered two anthems in decidedly
pleasant manner. Rev. Mr.. Curtis led in
prayer and was followed by Miss Iva
Brooks, who read an essay on the Sunday
School, in clear and well modulated
voice. The essay was an historic one
going back to the first Sunday School
mentioned in the Bible and following
along down the line to the present time
and replete with much instruction. 1t
was the composition of Mrs. Samuel l..

Gabriel.

The Dalles has a toboggan that is
some of the "boys.' Its name is "Gab-
rielp and it's not altogether a toboggan
either, but cross between toboggan
and a sled. Its further pedigree is un-
known, or lost in the hazy past. When
"Gabriel'' gets excited it takes persons
to hold him down, and he is so strongly
built that man, who once got mad at
him, worked on him for an unknown
period, trying to break him up with an
ak, but 'tGabriel'' came out of the fight
as good as new, while the ak was ruined
for life. The other day Geo. Brown and
Charley Michacbach gently led "Gab-
riel'' to the top of the M. E. church hill,
intending to have little fun. They
didn't have any. "Gabe' had it all to
himself. After gently patting him on
the back, and soothingly murmuring.
"Wo, Gabriel, gentle GABRIEL they
straddled him and started for the bot
tom of the hill. About half way down
they met Sam Thurman, (who sells real
estate, and rents houses on terms to
suit customers and hard times.) "Gab-
riel'' meekly winked at Sam and then,
as if, all of sudden he had changed his
mind, he folded back his ears and made
4 a bee line for the nearest tree. "Gabriel''
struck it with force of a catapult, tear
ing Georges pants from above the
knee to the bottom, and landing Charley
on his head in the thick mud. Then
'Gabriel" winked at Sam and cried
''Next.''

Story OF o Dream.

It was some time in the spring of 1866
that Jethro Jackson went to Resaca to
look for the grave of his son, who was
killed in battle. Like many others, he
wished to find the remains and inter them
in the family burying ground. The com
rades who laid young jackson to rest gave
the father a description Of the spot where
they had buried him, telling him about
the rude pine coffin made from the boards
taken from the bridge. After many days
of tireless search Mr.. Jackson failed to To-
cate his sons grave, and returned to his
home in Griffin. A few nights after his
return he dreamed that his son came to
him and pointed out the spot where he
was buried. The dream was like vision.
He saw his son standing beside his bed,
and heard him say: "Father, am buried
under mound which was thrown up by
the Yankees after was killed. You will
know the mound when you see it by the
pokeberry bushes growing upon it. Go and
take me up and carry me home to mother" !"
So strong an impression did this dream
make upon Mr.. jackson that he returned
at once to Resaca, taking with him one of
the comrades who had buried his son. The
mound was found just as described in the
dream and the pokeberries were growing
upon it. An excavation was made and a
few feet below the earth the rough pine
coffin was found, and in it were the re-
mains of young Jackson. He was fully
identified, not only by the coffin and the
shoes, which were a present from the
father, but by the name which was on the
clothinQ Atlanta Journal.
