RIDING AND mITCmING.

One mode OF transportation
among the poor whites of southern
West Virginia is known as riding
and hitching." II Is rosortod to
when two travellers find themselves
with only ono horse and they are
going too far to ride "double." In
riding and hitehing" one trayeleF
takes the horse and goes a milo or
more, while the other foots it be-
hind. The equestrian naturally
makes faster speed than tho walker,
so, after he has ridden his share, he
dismounts and bitches his steed to
q tree by the roadside and pushes
on afoot. IN time the other walker
comes to the hitchcd animal,
mounts him, rides on until be has
oyertakeB the first rider and got
some distance in front, when tho
operation is repeated, Thus each
rides alternately, and The boyse gets
q breathing spell. N. y. SIN.

THE B0WSER BABY.
mR. nowsER GIVES Hus WIFE
SOME POINTERS
About the Proper Care OF Infants.-He Q
Attempts TO Put His Theory Into
Effect with Bad Results.

I" BY George, but that man hits
the nail square on the head 20
exclaimed Mr.. Bowser, as he looked
up from his paper and cast tender
eye toward the baby asleep in his
carriage.
"What is it Y' asked Mrs. Bow
ser.
"Why, he cites case upon case to
prove that where tho bringing up of
child is left almost entirely to the
mother it is sure to turn out badly.
Fifteen Of the most -blooded
mufderers of the past year had no
fathers care when infants.
"rhe fathers were probably off
to the lodge or club or too selfish to
want to bother with them, replied
Mrs. Bowscr.
"Eh, ell I? But that has nothing
to do with the matter. Its
woman's natural weakness Of char
acter he refers to. He also shows
that her want of sense sacrifices
$4,000 lives every year. What a
father knows by instinct a mother
must learn by experiment. For
instance, 90 out of every 100 fathers
IN this world would turn that sleep
ing child with his head to the
north"
"Why ?"
because an electrical wave is
constantly sweeping fiom south to
north between the poles. 1t should
pass from the feet upward. When
it sweeps across tho body headache,
lassitndo and other complaints are
the result"
"But he is fat and healthy" she
protested.
"lie appears to be, but it is only
appearance. 1t is singular that
nature should have created such an
anomaly rs a woman, though, /
suppose, it wns done to make man
shine the brighter 10y comparison.
] sometimes pity her for her lack of
instinct and intuition.
Your instinct probably tells at
what age baby cuts its first tooth?"
queiicd Nrs. Bowser with consider
able tart to hor voice.
Certainly. The two back teeth
on the lower jaw generally appear
at three months"
ono baby cuts tooth at three
months. Four months is the very
least. Then it is a front tooth.
They never get back teeth under a
veal"
"Mrs. Bowser, ! have said two
back teeth at three months, and
that settles It r. said Mr. Bowser,
as he got up to walk about. "Wo-
men talk at random. Men know
what they are saying. Our child
probably got all his hack teeth
before you knew he had even one"
"He is over a year old aud hasn't
got one yet ] The doctor said yes-
terday there we're no signs Of ono" /"
"What the doctor said and what
/ know are two different things.
Mrs. Bowser. If the child hasn't
got all bis back teeth, then IL proves
physical neglect. lie has them,
however. and It is useless to dis.
cuss tho matter. DO you know
how many teeth the human mouth
is provided with ?''
"Certainly. DO you ?"
Il should be queer husband
and father not to-"
GLOW many?"
As nc cOuldn tcll WITHIN SIX or
eight he gave her a look Of mingled
pity and disdajn and continued to
walk up and down. When he
thought her sufficiently crushed, he
said
"lf that child should begin to
wake up now, what would your
instinct tell you to do 20
"Rock him, Of course"
"And " he continued ?"
"Turn bin over"
"And If be opened his eyes and

DEDICATION ~ Hv AlsUx.


Thy pages are fair and Ms pure AS the snow,
That covers the earth with its mantle Of
white;
May the sweetest lines that friendship can
know,
Be traced on thy pages In pencils Of light.
Go gather rich gems from the ocean Of
thought,
And the diamonds OF truth from the store
house Of mind
And deck the fair crown which true friend.
ship has brought.
To place on my brow with sweet garlands
entwined.
Go gather the names of the friends that are
dear,
And give them place In my casket Of love
o, may their sweet cruces and virtues appear
And shine on thy pages us light from above
And when In the future the traces Of care,
With sadness and sorrow nre seen on ny
/ brow,
Sweet smiles from thy pagcs-thc light o
tho past
VIII make my sad heart cen us happy u
now.
Ere the evening Of life It's shadows shall cas-
The loved and the cherished may fade fron
my view.
But their names and their words shall com
from the past,
| And echo the strains Of the hearts thu
| were true.
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1893-12-08

A certain gentleman recently said
to a reporter: II never took a paper
that did not pay me In some way, more
than ! paid for IL. One time an old
friend OF mine started little paper
away down In SOuthwern Georgia, ,and
sent 1t to me, and l subscribed Just to
encourage him. and after awhile It
published notice that an admins
traitor had an order to sell several lots
at public outcry, and one Of the lots
was In the country. 80 ! inquired
about the lot and wrote my friend Ia
run it up to $50. He did SO and bid 1t
of to me at $40, and l sold It In a
month to a man for 900; and SO
made seS clear by taking that little
paper. My father told me that when
he was q young man he saw notice
In q paper that q good teacher was
wanted away OF In U distant country,
and he went there and got the situa.
tion, and little girl was sent to him,

Everybody knows the pretty little
forget-mc-not, and likes the flower
more perhaps because Of its name
than It's beauty.
How was 1t so-callcd?. The Ger
mans account for 1t quite q pathetic
romance.
1t seems that once upon a time a
knight and lady were walking by the
bank Of the Danube, when the latter
asked her ''gallant gay" to pluck for
her a tiny blue flower which he saw
growing in the stream. No sooner
said than done, but the knight, over
balancing, fell into the river, and ow-
ing to the slippery nature Of the
bank and the weight Of his armor was
carried away by the current. As he
threw the flower ashore to his lady he
cried out with his last breath, "Ver-
gis mein nichtw Forget me not).
And ever since the flower has been
looked uDon as as emblem Of fidelity.
