THI: LESSON OF NATURE.

Thrs wealth of lovely pictures in this
blessed world of ours:
There's the rainbow in the heavens, after
spring and summer showers,
With its wondrous hues prismatic, with its
perfect arching grace,
From the zenith of its beauty to its distant
misty base.
Tt'rr's the sunrise DER the mountains in the
simmering August Gays;
Thrr,s tie sunset in the valley in Il veil o.
blush haze;
There's the river flowing gently from the up
land to the sea.
Now all golden in the sunlight in the shadow
sllvery.
There's the meadow ful! of clover, and tie
cattle er;W,n., ther,.--
All is silen'. III T. peaceful. at! IS free from
every care.
There's the vista through the woodland, with
its gorgeous autumn hue;
There's the twinkIing star a-peeping through
Tie deepening evening blue.
There's the vast unrestfu ocean, meath fair
unclouded sky:
There's the dancing wave a-winkng as the
ships go sailing by;
There's the garden with its flowers. with its
roses all ALLOW,
There's the very soul of purity, the first fresh
fal of snow.
And they come and go forever in never ceas-
ing train,
And We mottals, gazing on them, know
they're sure to come again.
'Tis the message Of Jehovah, to his people
you and NE
Take the promise that | give you of your
Immortality"'

Tho Bicycle on Ice.

On with the SPORT
Let tho wheel reign uncondned.
Nor winters rigors, nor snow, nor wind
Shall check its wild cavort.
And now here comes a man out of the
wild and woolly west who says we may
ride our wheels oil winter If we wish.
Yea not only this, but ride faster than
ever If we will. This Is matter that
will cut considerable ice with many devo-
tees of wheeling during the coming winter
months. The bicycle has always hereto
fore been considered erratio and drunken
enough in its movements to more than
satisfy most riders, and particularly new
beginners, but this man audaoiously pro-
poses to give it skate. 1t is all very
simple. You have only to remove the
front wheel from its forks, substitute the
"skate" in Its place, take the tire from the
rear wheel, put the ice tire thereon, and
there you are. This attachment was ex-
perimented with last winter on Lake
Michigan, and, it is claimed, a record of

Arrested for Assault.

Geo. Dancer, a well known farmer
living near Okolona, was arrested
Monday on a warrant sworn out by
Mrs. Mary Ludeman, q widow living
on farm about a mile and a half
west of this city. Mrs. Ludeman has
a daughter about IS years old named
Ella. Last summer Dancer hired out
to Mrs. Ludeman and he and the
daughter became quite intimate. On
Monday Dancer had filed up ON bad
liquor and in the evening called at
Mrs. Ludeman's home. Upon being
reproached by the girl for being the
author of her ruin, he jumped on her
and began choking and pounding
her. Mrs. Ludeman dragged him
away and came to town to swear out
a warrant. He was arrested on the
charge of assault with intent to kill
and had hearing before Squire Fisk
Tuesday when he was placed under
$100 bond for disappearance for trial.
Upon his failure to furnish bond he
was taken back to Jail.

HOW no Raise Children.

The first thing to do is to make
your home pleasant. This is best
done by the parents being pleasant
to each other and second by being
pleasant to the children. When you
speak to them, don't yell at them as
if they were dogs or cattle, don't
swear at them, but speak pleasantly
as if they were kings and priests; if
they do an errand for you or GER
tain piece of work is finished, thank
them as kindly, as you would a
stranger who had performed it for
nothing, and we can assure you that
your children will in turn be as nice
and pleasant to you. Next furnish
them with good books and papers
which cast but little at Saur & Balls
ley's Drug and Book store and when
they get tired of reading or are too
young to read read to them; stop now
and then to explain and you will soon
have little Heaven in your own
family.

Wind Storm.

Between 1 and 4 o'clock Tues
day morning Napoleon and vicinity
were visited with a more severe wind
storm than has taken place for sew
eral years past. The storm reached
its height at 2:30 o'clock. Trees were
uprooted all over the city, outhouses
blown down and fences and Chin
neys destroyed. The frames Of both
Jacob Browns and Frank VanNess'
new houses were leveled to the
ground. The pinnacle of the M. e.
church spire was blown of and
struck D. Wilson's residence, tearing
a hole in the siding. Probably the
most curious freaks of the storm
were the blowing out of one of the
large plate glass windows in Shoe
maker Bros. store and the disappear
ance of most of the blinds of the new
band stand.
The damage throughout the coun-
ty will be great. The farmers come
in for their full share of damage, in
having their trees, fences and out
buildings scattered to the four winds.

New York Fashion Letter.

The utility of the tailor made gown for
every day wear has established it is part
OF every we'll dressed woman's outfit. The
full skirt is plain and the jacket is usually
made with short ripple back, and strapped
seams. These skirts are not interlined
but are finished with narrow stiff facing
around the bottom. All varieties of fancy
silk W lists are again the rage, but the new
velvet blouses are the most popular of all,
and velvet for entire gown is much in vogue.
1t il not always silk velvet: but velveuteen
in stripes, plaids and figures are variously
employed The newest outside garments
are very much trimmed, sometimes entirely
with braiding or passementerie and often
with fur, principally Sable and Persian fur
trimmings. The old fashion of using jet
embroidery velvet is one of the most popu-
lar fancies of the Winter A trimming of
velvet is necessary part of every oIt door
as well as indoor garment, and vest of
some bright colored velvet tends to Tighten

for the coats and capes is very gorgeous.

est designs being employed. Some of the
newest capes have high inside collars faced
with real antique lace. There are gorgeous
mantles that reach from the neck to the hem
of the gown for opera and carriage wear.

Arrested the whole Audience.

A good theatrical story is told of Herr
Woltersdorf, the German manager and ac-
tor. One Sunday, In the winter, he left
the Stadt theater and drove to his little
playhouse, "Auf den Hausen,' outside
the town. The play announced on the bills
was "Kabale und Liebe." The audience
consisted of one solitary person. Never
theless Woltersdorf insisted on beginning
the play, to tho chagrin of his company,
who expected that the empty playhouse
meant holiday for the actors, They took
the widest liberty with the text and
scarcely word reached the audieno6I

and demanded that the play should be duly
rendered according to the playbill. CAR

to policeman who lurked behind one Of
the pillars. The officer seized the audi
enoe, saying, II arrest you for disturbing
the course of public entertainment. To
the great relief of the actors, the whole
public" was then marched off to tho
watchhouse, and the play came to an end.

laxative and tonic that purifies the blood

Holiday Presents.

The time is at hand when persons
will be considering Christmas pres
ents, and we desire to say to all
such, make no selections until after
you have consulted our advertising
columns, and if you do not see any
thing advertised to suit your fancy,
it will be unfortunate for our bust
ness men who do not offer induce
ments to purchasers. Our merchants
and dealers should see that no dollar
goes out of our town to purchase
holiday goods, and should offer such
attractions as would be sure winners
of all the trade in and around Napo-
leon. Buy from our advertisers if
you want the best and cheapest.

It's all Right.

Several Napoleon merchants are
using silver dollars for advertising
purposes. They are not giving away
the dollars, but are using them as
bill boards. They paste labels on the
big silver cart wheels reading: "Take
me back to Blanks store and get one
dollar and five cents worth of gro
ceries for me'. Citizens in several
towns complained that the labels
come off and stick to their pockets
and that the gum makes the money
unpleasant to handle. The United
States District Attorney was ap-
pealed to, but he says it is not
against the law to so use coins, but
he thought from experience and
from all he heard, that public opin-
ion would endorse a law making
such use of the national coinage a
crime.

They Were Regular spongers.

At Youngstown the other day two
tramps went into saloon carrying
gallon jug. They walked up to the
bar and ordered it filled with whisky.
The bartender did so and the tramps
rendered him 81 in payment. The
bartender demonstrated, stating that
it was 81 a gallon The cunning
tramps refused to pay and said they
only wanted g. dollars worth. The
bartender emptied the jug and gave
them their dollar back. They had
sponges in the jug and after getting
outside they broke the jug, squeezed
out the sponges and satisfied their
craving appetites with a couple of
drinks each,
