What VIII Do.

1t cost the Rev. L. II. Agnew. a
Methodist minister at Auburn. San
CANON county. $50 for expressing too
frank an opinion about a brother
preacher on a postal card Mr.. Ag-
new is an ardent leicester of the weed
and so i Rev. W. r. Goodwin. a
Methodist divine at Englewood. III.
The latter sent Mr.. Agnew some time
ago a number OF tracts, depicting the
evils of the tobacco habit. As these
tracts were written by Mr.. Goodwin
himself. he was naturally very anX-
ious that they should be distributed,
and to obtain still wider circulation
they were sent to Mr.. Agnew when he
"; ending the session of the Hi
nois conference at Quincy Mr.
Goodwin did not receive any ac-
Acknowledgement from Mr. Agnew of
the receipt of his anti-tobacco litera-
ture, and he accordingly wrote to Mr..
Agnew asking him if he had ever re-
ceived it.
Mr.. Agnew, ignorant OF the Strln-
gent laws of Uncle Sam regarding the
wording of epistles written on postal
cards, replied by the fatal postal card
in question. He said that he hadn't
received the anti-tobacco tracts, and
as they were directed to him at con-
ference he thought likely that Rev
W. F. Gilmore, of Shelbyville, who
was tobacco worm, had secured the
tracts and destroyed them, and added
that such ministers as Rev. Gilmore
were disgrace to Methodism. Mr..
Goodwin. on receipt of the postal
card, began to further investigate the
matter. He wrote to the express
agent at Shelbyville, asking if such
package had been received there and
edclosed Mr.. Agnew's postal card.
The agent was of communicative
turn of mind and Mr.. Gilmore got
wind of the matter and secured the
postal card in question. He then
wrote the federal officials here, and
had Mr.. Agnew indicted. Mr.. Ag-
new pleaded guilty in the United
States district court to the charge of
mailing an unavailable postal card.
and he was fined IS and costs, max
ing a total of $50.

An Economical Way of killing Hawks.

Down in Edgefeld, s. c., chicken raisers
are advised to bait their chickens with
strychnine in order to destroy hawks. A
paste of strychnine the size of pinhead Is
placed on the bead of a chicken, and then
the fowl is TUNED ont where the hawks may
have a free chance at the prey. To seize
chicken so halted usually means death to
the hawk. and as there are more checkers
than hawk sthis is esteemed an economical
method of destroying the latter.-New York

TAKE TREATMENT NOW,

Time and again the physicians of
the Scott Medical Institute have adj
vised patients in desperate stages of
catarrhal trouble to wait until sum-
mer before taking treatment. Time
and again they have urged the neces-
sity of taking treatment while the
weather was favorable to cure.
Now is that time Those who suf-
fer from catarrh should take advan-
tage of all the influences that operate
now in favor of cure. They should
not put off treatment until next win
ter's stormy days, but should pru-
IDENTIFY ..mend their roof while the
sun shines" Now is the time, and
the opportunity is just what is de-
sired for the worst cases. Do not let
it 90 by, but place yourself under
treatment of the Scott Medical Insti-
tute. and have done for you in the
next month or two what might not
be possible to do until next summer.
HAVE YOU CATARRH OF THE STOMACH?
If so, you are an easy victim for
Asiatic cholera. Attend to il now!

Medical Institute pays for Personal

GRAINS OF GOLD.

One may live rs conqueror, king or a
magistrate, but he must die as man.
Do not lose the present in vain perplexi-
ties about the future. If fortune lowers to-
day. she may smile tomorrow.
He that does not know those things which
are of use for him to know is but an igno-
rapt man, whatever he may know besides.
The child's first experiences remain with
him permanently. The first color, the first
music the first flower, make up the fore
ground of his life.
Little things often change the current of
life. A moments temper has often severed
a friendship which might have lasted a life
time. An unkind and hasty word has left
mark which death seems scarcely to have
erased.
Let a man but admit his ignorance and
be willing to learn; there is always hope
for him. It is for those alone who are in
vincibly ignorant of their own ignorance
that there exists no prospect whatever of
intellectual alvation.-Montreal Star.

Aliterary man who has met Mrs Hum
phrey Ward gives this description of her:
I'm the first place. she is a handsome wom-
an. Her figure is tall and willowy, her
features are regular, and the expression OF
the face is very sympathetic. Before meet
ing her had wondered how woman
brought up, as she had been, in the best
English society-not merely the smartest
society, but in the society composed of the
most thoughtful men and women of Eng
land-how such n woman could have the
knowledge of bohemian life in Paris that
she displayed in David Grieve. But when
] made her acquaintance speedily discov-
cred that there was very little she didn't
know. She has really marvellous under
standing of life as well as of books Withal
she is the most womanly of women, with a
most charming personality"
The Helena independent., 1893-12-31
Legal Unjust to Women.

A young man and wife start out together
in small investment, depending for profit
on lhe joint labor Of one behind the coun-
ter Ior both, as business may require the
wife being the domestic manager.
Nine times in ten, under my observation,
the wife works the harder. She works in
the Kitchen; she works in the store She
does not indulge in luxuries.
If after 10 years of common toll, includ-
ing the blessed relief of motherhood and it's
joyful added cares, he, under our lax di-
vorce laws, should brutally cast her off on
one of the many pretexts found now suffi-
cient, the equity of that wife and mother
in the property of which she fully halved
the making is not recognized except by
caprice of courts or license of flexible stat
utes. sa
must say that the disposition of the
Judiciary has been almost invariably on the
side of equity, but common law and statu-
tory bars still operate hardly upon the wife
and mother.
The mother, however abject her poverty,
wants the child or the children, and will
work herself to the bone to maintain and
educate them. Under the laws that lie on
the books of most of our states she cannot
get her moiety of the material goods to
which she is in conscience entitled except
after expense and delay, if she succeeds even
then. She rarely suoceeds.-Margaret f.
Sullivan in Uonahoe's Magazine.
