cts Like sending Them Rufies. {,

Oliver Goldsmith, who was born in lT2S
and died in l114, wrote, in his 1.-The Haunch
of Venison," these lines:
Such dainties to them, their health it might
hurt;
It's like sending them rufiles when wanting q
shirt
In Tom Brown we read: "If your friend
is in want, don't carry him to the tavern
where you treat yourself as well rs him.
and entail thirst and headache upon him
the next morning To treat a poor wretch
with bottle of Burgundy and fill his
snuffbox, is like giving pair of lace ruffies
to a man who never had shirt on his
back"

tion. Every few minutes hit the top rap to drive the point further into the ground and keep on twisting. In five minutes the worms will begin crawling out of their holes, and all you have to do is to pick them up and put them m your can. They hear the grinding and think it is mole after them, and know that only on the sur face are they safe. So they come out, those nearest to the sound making their appearance first with every evil dence of haste and trepidatiOn. Some times they come up for a distance of ten or fifteen feet from the twirling stick. and in places where they are plentiful as many as hundred can be literally scared ont of the ground in this manner. Some people think a worm has no sense, and they may be right in general, but d worm knows that mole is it's deadliest enemy and will come squirming to the top of the ground any time it hears mole coming in it's direction.

Abraham Lincoln's physician. the emi- nent Dr. Holland, who attended him in his last moments. when the brave mans life was fast ebbing away, stated that it was not the direct result of the fatal shot of Booth but the reduced physical con- ditition of the president due to the enor- nous strain upon his nervous system; that if he had taken necessary precautions to have kept his Blood, Liver and Kidneys in sound and healthy condition, recoy- cry would have been certain, and that the remedy he always recommended was He paticure, the Great English Blood and Liver Tonic, as ii is absolutely certain to cure all these troubles.

THE communication of the death sen

TnE communication of the death sen tence upon II. Clay King by Governor Buchanan of Tennessee was an out rage upon justice that has no parallel in the history of this country. It was an invocation of the mob spirit as plainly as if it had been applauded in the public prints of the country. If ever criminal deserved hanging it is Clay King. Without word of warn ing, after mature deliberation, he shot down his unarmed and defenceless victim in cold blood. It was the crim- son climax of an evil life-a life of lechery and drunkenness, putting his family and friends to open shame and bringing opprobium upon the communi- ties in which he lived and perpetrated his guilty practices. He should have been hanged. All the courts of his state had passed upon his case and found no mitigating circumstances. The federal courts had refused to in- terfere. The righteous verdict was set aside, however, by this assinine exec utiye. and the most shamelessly guilty wretch who ever trembled in the shadow of the gibbit goes unhung. By this action Governor Buchanan is guilty of compromising one of the fonl- est murders that ever stained the crim inal record of Tennessee, and is as guilty as King himself. As TIE TIMES took occasion to remark in con- menting on this case some time ago, the gallows was only erected for poor xnpu

How to Get Earth Worms 'Without

Globe Democrat.


 Walter Sawyer, professional fish erman,, says: Nobody need work at digging worms, for bait unless he is fond of the exercise, for they can be procured in almost any quantity with very little labor whenever they are needed. The process is simple. Take a strong stick four or five feet long and sharp at one end and go to some To- cality, such as the back of the barn, where worms are sure to De plentiful.
