:. THE NECKTIE PARTY,
BY ELLA u. CUTTINGS.

One Saturday afternoon in October
four SYaleville boys stood on the Villa
mette Riyer bridge in earnest converse
ton. These boys represented, at least In
their own estimation, the aristce.scy Of
Swalevilie,
The eldest, a boy of seventeen, was
Percy Drake, whose father kept the
Drake Hotel, and was man of conse.
quence. Ben Tyndal's father had gen.
eral merchandise store adjoining the
hotel. Harvey Ballard was the editors
son. But the crowning aristocrat of them
all was Clinton McKinsey, newcomer
in Swaleville.
1t was his father who had mysteriously
. arrived :in the town, as mysteriously pur.
chased the worthless farm Of a shiftless
fsrmer nomcd Pete Morley near by, and
afterward laid it out in building lots,
calling, it 'NIcKinseyS' addition to
Swaleville;"
Is, had afterward turned out that he
had got wind of and anticipated the
building of railroad to Swaleville, and
his timely purchase made him person

neglected if the ladies had not taken il
in hand. They began series OF fairs
and festivals 10 raise money to paint and
rcfurnish the unsightly building.
Swalcvillc had never known such q
round of gaicty as it had now. At first
the people gave literally, but when all
the new and taking things in the way of
entertainment seemed exhausted, the
"two- bit pieces" came reluctantly.

THE MYSTICAL SE4.
BY ALBERT BiGELcw W PAINE.


oh love, am wandering back today
Through the valleys of memory;
They lie betwixt mount.lins far away,
The mountains of Hope aud Youth arc
they,
And I'm dreaming again of that night, to
day,
By the mystical southern sea.
Oh. love, l loved you thut far-off night
BY the ~,ysteal southern SEA,
The breeze was light and the stars were
bright,
And the sea- -gulls flashed in their circling
flight.
AS we sat alone, on that far-of night,
When you whispered your love for mo.
Oh, kisse your lips and clasped your
hands,
BY that mystical southern sea,
While softly the waves were kissing the
sands,
And ships went a-sailing to distant lands,
And l kissed your lips and l clasped
your hand,
When you whispered youl love to me.
Oh. ,ve a storm has swept the shore
OF that mystical southern sea;
The waves still kiss rs they kissed before /;
But the ships that sailed will return no
more,
Aud the you:h,a the love, aud the hopes
fyore
Will never come back to me.

John l.. Simms, peculiar char
acier from Choctaw county, Ala,
was called TO serve as a jrror in
the United States court Saturday
morning, presided over by Judge
Harry T. Tonlmin. Sinms being
called, he stated he refused to
serve on the jury as he had con.
scientiOus scruples. He was ask
ed to be sworn that The Judge
might question him upon his ey-
cuse, but he refused Ia be sworn.
and stated that he refused on
Scriptural grounds.
He was then called upon TO af-
firm, and did so. He was ques-
toned by The judge, who asked
why he refused TO be sworn, re.
piled because The Bible says
swear not at ALL" Simms then
stated that he would not convict
any man, as this would be 10 con-
denim him and he had no right, ac-
cording 10 Scripture, 10 Judge any
one, and he quoted "Judge not,
that We be not judged, ETC."
Finding thai The man was posi-
tive in his statement that he would
not convict anyone, Judge Toul-
min discharged him from the
panel.
Simms was the subject of mucIr
attention after This, and to several
of the people about the courtroom
he exhibited copy of neatly
printed four small.page publica.

county, by his brother, Robert
Simms.
In this many of the queer doc
trlneS of sect, unnamed and
numbering about fifty. John L.
Simms among them, who abound
in Choctaw county, are promulga-
ted. The members of this sect re-
fuse to pay taxes, or 10 recognize
the authority OF man in any man
ner to control them, claiming to be
answerable only to God, and hence
they refuse 10 obey mans law, or
pay mans tax, or 10 be governed
by any man.
Robert Simms was indicted at
the late term of the United States
court for carrying on a disiillery
in violation of revenue law. A
deputy marshal went up there a
few days ago 10 serve the warrant,
and handed the warrant 10 Robert
10 read. lie Immediately tore it
up and ordered Uncle Sans repre-.
sentative to git" which Uncle
Sans representative did.
II is stated by John Simms that
his brother Robert runs the dis
tillery and makes whiskey and
has no license from anv man. He
does it, he states, openly, without
any concealment, as he declares it

wants to make whiskey from his

in every particular. Within one
decade the States west of Ohio will

ROMANCE OF A DESK.

Mrs. MerlOn'S heal was ben
over her desk, and The pen IN heI
hand raced over The snowy paper
as though for dear life. The pile
OF manuscript at her side steadll,
increased, AMI the weary look up
on the authors face grew deeper
Slowly the hands of the clock
went around. and al last it struck
he hour of 10. Edna Merton ldid
her pen down with a little sigh ol
relief and arose to her feet.

elderly woman was lying, pale and

IA pretty boy of 3 years.
Edna Merton herself was pale,
sad-looking woman of 30-a rein
ed, sensitive looking woman. with
deep, dark eyes, Blown hair and a
mobile mouth. She had been left
a widow, with one child, some Is
months before, and now struggling
along, depending almost solely
upon her pen, not only for her own
and her child's support, but also
her invalid mothers, who was
slowly wasting away with that
fearful disease, consumption. The
sick woman's eyes followed her
daughters black robed figure as
she rnse from the desk, pale and
weary.

the desk ever since 8 this morn

PLENTY OF SLEEP FOR WOMEN
IL is a well known fact among ply
sicians, nurses and those generally
interested in the restoration of
health, that the percentage Of wo-
men among the middle and upper
classes who retire early is alarm
ingly small. The term alarming.
ly" is used advisedly, because the
growing tendency TO Keep late
hours cheats nature ont of her
just dues and compels her 10 re-
ialiate in a manner that often
threatens not only health but life
almost seriously. There are few
women so constituted that the

sumes TO a great exteht their vital

means of perfect repose.-krs.

Tariff Legislation.

The recent tariff legislation, popular
ly known both before and since becom-
ing law, as "The Mckinley BILL
of Internal Revenue taxation as well as
changes in duties on Imports. Proba-
bly, none of these are of more general
interest than the provisions of sections
20 and 53 of the new law.
Section 26 repeals all special taxes
upon the manufacture and sale of to-
bacco, leaving the cost of the stamps
the only direct tax upon the manufac-
turer and consumer of tobacco and Gig
ars. To illustrate: Dealers in manufac-
tured tobacco, who have hitherto been
called upon to contribute two dollars
and forty cents to help swell the reven-
ues, will, after May lst, 1891, be reliev-
ed from that petty burden. Manufac-
turers and pedlers of tobacco and cigars,
wholesale and retail dealers in leaf to-
bacco will also be freed from special
tax, though each in this latter list will
be required, under penalty of fifty
dollars to register, as at present, with
the collector of his district.
The special taxes imposed upon the
sale of spirits, wine, malt liquors and
manufacture and sale of foleomargarine,
as well as the rectifying of spirits, brew
ing of beer, and the making of worms
and stills, will remain unaltered. New
ertheless, an important change is made
with regard to the time when such taxes
become due. Heretofore all special
taxes have been payable on the first day
of May in each year, and all such taxes
for fractional part of a year were COM
puted on the Both of April following.
Section SO of the new law transfers the
date for the annual payment of special
taxes from May 1st to July 1st. This
change leaves period of two months
to be provided for, this year. To meet
this contingency, extension certificates
will be provided, and all persons sub
ject to special tax, rs above specified, +,
and who continue in their respective
avocations after May lst, 1891, are ex-
pected to apply for these certificates at
the same time and in the same manner
as they have been accustomed to apply
for special tax stamps. When issued
these certificates will convey to persons
holding them, all of the privileges of a
special tax stamp. They will cost one
sixth of the amount of the annual tax
and continue in force until the first day
of July, 1891, at which time the annual
tax for the year ensuing will become
due and payable.
In case these instructions are not full
ly understood by people interested, fur
ther information may be had by adj
dressing j. w. Seldom, Sand Beach,
Mich, the deputy collector for this di-
vision.

Arbor Day Proclamation.

In accordance with established usage,
| hereby designate Thursday, April 30,
1891, to be observed as Arbor Day.
l earnestly appeal to all our people
to observe the day, or portion there
of, by the planting of trees, vines and
shrubbery along the highways, IN the
cemeteries, and about their homes.
To those who bear in mind the needs
of the generations to come, as well as
of the living, the rapid destruction of
our forests and the diminished supply
of our timber present grave problem.
We who enjoy the present should see
to it that we use only so much of the
products of the earth as is necessary
for our wants, and we owe it to poster
ity to replace, SO far as we can, what
we are compelled to borrow from the
resources of nature.
Along the highways i'll many parts
of the State the axe has been busy
with the oak and elm, and the traveller
finds scant shelter from the summer
sun. He whose necessity compels him
to destroy shade tree for tirewOod
can ut least plant an acorn or sapling
in return. Shrubbery, vines, flowers
and fruit trees are blessings which all
mankind enjoy; and each one can do
something to render them more abun-
dant and make the world more pleas
ant for himself and his fellows.
Let those who are looked to for
instruction from the pulpit, the school
house, and through the press, enforce
the simple resson which the occasion
suggests.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the State, at the Capitol in Lansing,
this eleventh day of April, i'll the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and ninety-one, and of the in
dependence of the United States the
one hundred and fifteenth.

Stock Ralsers.
To achom it may concern :

To achom 10 may concern:
1t will be remembered that the we'll
known stock horse "Logie the Laird"
imported from Scotland br James New
ell but now owned by James Kennedy,
of Emmett township, was prevented
from continuing his route last season,
much to the regret of the farmers, and
which was financial loss to Mr.. Ken
nedy. Many supposed that this horse
was suffering from q contagious and
hereditary disease, but | am glad to
say that such was not the case, it
being merely local affection peculiar
to breeding horses. Therefore ! can
recommend this horse as perfectly
sound for breeding purposes as regards
mares and colts as well.
Yours respectfully,
