How n Convivial Company. Rid It.
self Of an objectionable Member.


One night not long ago a group OF
kindred spirits were gathersk'iir IN
upper room at the house Of one OF the
number, the women OF the household
being absent for the evening. The
tide Of merriment was flowing gen.
orally when they were joined by an
undesirable young man who may be
called Brown, as that was not his
name. They cast about among them
selves as to how they could get rid OF
him without giving ofIense, and one OF
the number suddenly bethought him
self OF masquerade costume he had
constructed with much labor and
thought TO represent the father OF
darkness. Hastily whispering his
plans to his frineds, he quietly slipped
away from the house, and, hurrying
home, donned the suit and returned.
knocking at the door, he inquired OF
the person who answered the sum
mons il "Brown" was within.
Eyes; step upstairs and you will
find him." was the reply. With much
clanking OF chains and gathering OF
hoofs he slowly mounted the stairs
and entered the room where the com
pany was gathered, inquiring for
Brown. There was scene OF inde-
scribable confusion, the well-simulated
terror OF the rest rendering the un-
initiated young man almost helpless
from fright; all he was able TO do was
10 ioll under the table. At last the
others made rush for the window
and, one by one, dropped to the
ground below. As the last one climbed
through the window Brown, who did
not desire to be left alone with his
satanic Majesty, made dash at him,
caught him in his arms, and with the
strength of terror drew him back and
flung him across the room. Then,
leaping himself from the window, he
started for home at rate OF speed
which sprinter might well envy. At
every stride he would cry out until his
voice was lost in the distance;
please, Mr.. Satan, don't take me
yet please don't take me just yeti"
The lokers returned TO the room
weak with laughter, and they have
never since been troubled by a call
from Brown, who still persists that the
evil one in person had sought him on
that occasion.-N. Y. Tribune.

Pen0issc0t.


The only article in the warrant for town
meeting involving any special change in
the policy of our town affairs is to see
whether the town will authorize its munic-
ipal officers to contract with some respon-
sible person to keep our roads in repair
for term Of years not exceeding five.
For the past few years the town has raised
money chiefly for the roads, and used
road machine, but for some reason the
era of perfect satisfaction In road max
ing has not yet been reached.
Several school districts have called their
annual district meetings. some have al
ready been holden prior to the town meet
ing. There seems to be prevailing anx-
iety to get the best teachers at any cost,
and first class teachers seem to be about as
rare as hens teeth.

Obituary..



II is the solemn privilege and duty OF the
living 10 pay tribute 10 the memory OF the
dead. 10 weep with those who weep and
mourn with those who mourn. We are called
to mourn the loss OF another aged and respect
ed lsdy. Mrs. Aphis McGown, widow OF
Joseph MeGown. died Feb 2sth. 1892. at the
age OF eighty years and eleven months. Gone
from labor TO reward. from toll to rest. from
pain to bliss Shall We mourn her death !:
Shall we not rather rejoice in her life, be
grateful for her example as we strive 10 emu
late 1t, and pray for light and strength TO ena-
bic US TO pass, like her. unscratched through
the trials and trbulations Of life: The way
that she has gone We must go also. No wom-
an ever had more devoted attention than wa.
rendered the loving mother by her sons and
daughters. friends and neighbors. Her last
days were peaceful and full OF the comforting
assurance that she was surrounded by kind
and loving friends and Borrowing hearts. 10
her demeanor she was cordial and friendly
and rs loving mother she hsd the good will
OF every one, and those nearest and dearest to
her will feel her loss most kernly. In a time
like this words are unavailing. She was a
good mother and at the ripe age Of four-score
wears has gone to her reward. She was the
mother of ten children Of whom five survive
her. and they have the sympathy OF the whole
community 10 this their time Of sffliction. The
funeral was held in the chapel at North Ellis
worth Tuesday, March 1st, the Rev. Henry
Conley officiating. and as we took the last look
OF our departed friend we were reminded OF
these words:
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes TO weep.
