Pirate omnibuses.

Pirate omnibuses are causing con-
sternation among the bus riders Of
London. The pirates look lust like
the regular omnibus. A passenger
goes in, expecting to pay a fare of
twopence or threepence, and cannot
get out until he has paid a shilling.
There is apparently no legal redress
for the passengers, because the
pirates carry inside sign reading:

son. No doubt her admiration for the
great denouncer of shams was largely
due to the intense sincerity of her own
character, which made it impossible fol
her to tolerate even those slight devia,
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, but are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society
Il am so glad to see you" would hardly
have been her greeting to a visitor whose

on the other hand, her downrightness OF

No Truth in the RumOr,

1t was rumored around the streets yes
terday that during these few cold days
the county Jail prisoners were suffering
from the lack of covering. A LIGHT re-
porter was sent down to ascertain the
truth in the matter. He secured a pass
from Sheriff Campbell and paid visit to
the jail. Upon close observance he found
that Dame Rumor was considerably mis-
taken. II any complaint could be made it
would be that it was too warm. During
the entire day and night large coal
stove is kept red hot throwing out enough
heat to warm much larger room.
The prisoners are all supplied with
blankets, pair of extra heavy ones be-
ing allotted to each man. The women,
however, are hot so comfortable. The
county has supplied no means OF warm
ing their cells, and beyond the natural
heat of the cells and their clothing they
are not warmed. Sheriff Campbell has
just purchased large supply of cloth
ing for the prisoners to use when those
they have are worn out.

Mixed Relationship.

There is a family in the southern part
of the county whose complicated rela-
tionship beats anything upon record.
The family name is Runk. A few years
ago the Runk family consisted of father
and two grown sons. In the same neigh
borhood there lived a widow and her
two comely daughters. The oldest one
of the Runk boys married one of the
widows daughters. The young mans
father married the other daughter. The
other one of the boys married the
mother. The question that now both

Gloves at Afternoon Teas.

Gloves, the browning finish Of a well
dressed womans costume in public, have
been of late years greatly misused in
American society. One sees them worn
at tea tables by the woman elected to
represent the hostess in pouring tea, and
even at dinner tables, where the wear
ers have been known to sit through
many courses with their right hands
barred, the hand of the right glove
tucked under the wrist, and the entire
left glove kept on. From time immemo-
rial the habitual dinner goers of good
society have removed both gloves imme-
diately after taking their places at the
table, and have resumed them upon re-
turning to the drawing room, or after
using the finger bowls, and before aris-
ing from the feast.
Any departure from accepted custom
that has only eccentricity or a desire for
innovation to recommend it should be
avoided; hence there seems no cause for
taking up the curious fashion just men,
toned, probably set in needless mo-
ment by some leader of vogue or by an
unfortunate woman of rank whose hand
was made unpresentable by disfguring
injury.-Ladies Home Journal.

Both Need sYmpathy.

Thomas Conner, nice looking man,
and James Conner, boy about s years
of age, were last night arrested by
Officer Andy Battle and lodged in Jail on
the charge of vagrancy. When their
cases came up before the recorder this

OF the affair are as follows:
Conner, who is an honest, hard working
man, has been resident of LaSalle

Ill and soon she passed away. The
man was fin debt aud when
he had setted up he had but twenty cents

THE CABIN ON THE CLAIM.

Lonely, you say, with mighty arch
OF sky so grandly bending2
BY bright hued clouds and glittering star,
A tender message sending2
Joyless2 When out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story2
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors in her mantle dark
Bears to this cot of ours?
Like faintest sounds of distant seas
Pounding some castle hUary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
Turning bend of river,
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring CULVER.
So, thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

About 500 people journeyed to the Nation

game between the Louisville and the home
club. The home club won, and OF course
the staunch local rooters were happy. The
game can be classed as a smuggling one
from start to finish. the Washington boys
securing a good lead at the beginning. but
at the close managed to win by just one
run. The excitement was almost continu-
Gus. owing to the fine plays made. and the
persistent way the visitors kept on the

and played with great confidence, his held
work being Of the kind that braces up and

was in the box for the WashingtoEians,
and Hemping officiated in the same posi-
ton for the Louisvilles. Manager Barnie
gave 1t out that the game was his before
the start was made. as Hemming has been

Of the four games is worthy of high praise
A little ginger pumped into the Washington
