THE BOOK OF GROVER.

Now it came to pass i'll the last days
that the followers CT Grover the
Great, surnamed the Goidite, the
same which begat Ruth aud Esther
and the panic and the Hawaiian
trouble, were vexed with vexation ex-
ceeding, insomuch as they listcth not
to the locality whore they abideth at.
For behold, i'll The beginning, they
girded up their loins and went bofore
the people crying with a loud voice,
verify, we say unto all men, that we
are Groverites from exceeding far
back, and woe unto We that forget it.
And verify, we hold i'll exceeding
great detestation that which the
children of men call the tariff, for is
it not fashioned by our enemies, the
same which hath licked the eyerlast-
ing stuffing out of us from genera
ton to generation?
Yea, verify, this same little protec-
tive tariff, it buildeth furnaces in the
valleys and smoke stacks on the
mountain tops;it turneth the wheels
of progress, and causeth the desert to
blossom like unto a green bay tree.
Wherefore, do we, of the tribe Of
Grover the Great despise the same as
a curse and an determination in the
sight of man.
Yea, as a stencil that offendeth oar
nostrils, the same which we smelleth
from afar off.
And behold, in the great and terri
BILE day of battle, when the armies of
voters be gathered together, shall we
arise and smito our enemies unto
mincemeat.
Yea, we shall lay them out cold on
the platform OF free trade, and cover
them over with planks of tariff re-
form.
AndEour enilnies shall be scattered
like unto the leaves Of the forest; for
Grover shall rent them into frag-
ments like unto potter's vessel, the
which hath been smitten by the flip
per of youth, and then shall the end
come.
For in that day shah our banner
be planted on the outer wall of the
great citadel of the nation, and we
shall bow down unto Grover, our de
iverer, who shall, therefore, be known
as our saviour OH Noun! Duzzard;
And he shall reign for four years
and shall shower good times and fall
offices and special messages and free
raw materials on us III abundance
forever.
And the black smoke OF industry
shall no longer obscure the MONDAY
sun, and the farmer shall wear pants |
woven in foreign parts and socks from
the isle Of the sea.
And it was So, and after the space
of time, Grove, who was a mighty |
fisher, girdcd up his line and chattels
and his cabinet, and went up aud |
pitched his tent oyer against the cap
itol, which is in the land OF Column

Now, when Grover Wis crowned
king of the nation, it came 10 paas
that he was pulled up in the pride Of
his heart, and his other yiseera, inso-
much that his raiment became saEo-
,al cubits too small to contain his

tells thrilling and veracious tale Of
an adventure of his while working
up case near Gettysburg. He was
walking through deep wood one
day when he was startled by the APP
pearance of a rough looking fellow,
who presented a revolver at his head
and demanded all his valuables
"Well, said Labolt, "all the mon
ely I've got is $50 and a watch my
father gave me-" Hand all over"
said the highwayman. The officer
compiled with as good grace as the
circumstances allowed. Then he said
to the highwayman: Il work for a
farmer near by, who gave me that
money to buy cow with. He won't
believe I've been robbed. Can't you
shoot few holes through my coat?"
EYES," said the robber, "hold up
your coat, and in a jiffy four holes
were shot through it. Seeing that
there was still one bullet left in the
revolver, Labolt took off his hat and
persuaded the fellow to fire a bullet
through the crown. Then he pulled
his own pistol and lodged the robber
in the Jail at Carlisle, where he re-
ceived a 10 years sentence. -Phila-

the little boat in some manner cap
sized, throwing all the occupants into
the rushing waters. Tire husband and
the oldest boy secured - hold on the
boat, while the mother, not so fortu.
nate, grabbed hold of an oar with one
hand, and by the use of it successfully
held her head above water while with
the other she caught the two small
children in her arm and heroically
battled with the waves until relieved
of her burden by rescuers, who were
soon on the spot with rowboats. These
rescuers picked up the three children,
while the husband and wife were

The Circuit Court has granted bill
to annul the marriage of Lizzie Wheat
ley, of Wales, and Edward Harris,
which took place in Speaker township,
Sanilac county, in 1893.
In her petition before the court Miss
Wheatley stated that she was IL native
of Canada, and had been left an
orphan and compelled to earn her own
living. In 1891 she went to Roseburg,
st. Clair county, to live with her half
sister, Mrs. Anna SOuter, and accom-
panied the family to Wales, when they
moved there in 1892.
Shortly after removing to Wales
Lizzie Wheatley made the acquaint-
ance of Frank Spencer, and some time
after went to work for his mother,
Mrs. Ellen Spencer. While there
Frank Spencer made love to her, and f,
under promise of marriage, seduced
her. In April, 1893, she gave birth to
child, which is still alive, and be-
ing cared for bY its mother.
In January, before the birth of her
child, Lizzie informed Frank Spencer
of her condition, and begged him to
fulfil his promises to marry her. He
refused to do so, threatening her life
if she made any trouble. and said the
only way out of the difficulty was to
get someone to marry her.
Edward Harris was brought to the
Spencer house and introduced to the
girl, and she was told that she must
marry him. This she refused to do,
but on repeated threats of violence
by Spencer and his mother she con-
scented, and the marriage ceremony
was performed.
Lizzie WheGtley had seen Harris
only once before her marriage, and
saw him only once after. rs he soon
left Memphis, and his whereabouts at
present is unknown.
Miss Wheatley asked for The annul-
ment of the marriage on the grounds
that she was intimidated into it by
threats of violence, and also that
Harris was hired by Frank Spencer to
be party to a fraud, and had no in
tentiOn of living with her or support
ing her.
1t is now said Miss Wheatley will
commence suit for damages against
| Spencer.
