The New Bahv.

The new baby is always a wonder,
and is subject of proper comment in
household and paper. Yet there is
nothing new about a baby, and there
is nothing more old-fashioned on earth.
The very latest one born is dupli-
cate of the first one that ever peeped
and kicked and squalled. They are
all alike as so many little pigs. They
all have the same funny little grimaces
and angel smiles which no one but the
mother understands and appreciates.
They all wrinkleup their foreheads, get
mad and red in the face, just as Cain
did when he was kid, and they all
rassle with the fore fingers of their
man guardians like the Outcast baby of
Poker Flats. Babies are the same yes
terday, to-day and forever. Yet this
world could not get along without
babies, and the arrival of one to the sor-
rows and joys of this life is always a
matter of profound interest and makes
us all akin in sympathy, whether born
in the home of the president or only
the heir to the love of a poverty strick
en- mother.

A Peculiar Condition.

One of our exchanges publishes an
article from paper known aS the
American Sentinel, wherein It Is set
forth that seven men, honest and re-
specied. We're arrested for working on
sunday. 1t is also stated THAI they
were believers in the old Jewish Sab
bath, and kept that day. 1t also gives
its readers the information that they
were placed i'll a chain gang To work
out their fine amounting to So each,
imposed upon them for worshipng ac-
cording to the dictates of their on CON
sciences. In commenting upon the sub
ject, this editor uses the following lam
guage:
at strikes us that this question re-
solves itself, not in question of re-
liglous liberty, but of law. If these
men know it is against our statutory
laws to work on sunday and they do SO
in defiance of the law, we hardly see
how they can expect or deserve sympa-
thy"
We are 10th to believe there is a man
that follows newspaper work, that has
such a narrow conception of religious
liberty. As we understand it, law is
founded principally upon the teachings
OF the Bible. Biblical history teaches
lis that the law given to Moses, 10y the
Infinite, informed the people that they
should observe the Seventh day. That
law has never been changed only by the
inferior creature, man. No Divine ut
terances made the first day of the week
the Sabbath.
Yet our contemporary thinks thes
men, who have disobeyed the statutory
law by doing manual labor on Sunday,
deserve no sympathy, even if they are
manacled with common criminals for
serving God as their conscience die
tated.
When this country becomes SO big
oted in its greatness, that men are con-
fined in jails like common criminals for
obeying the teachings of their hearts,
on religious matters, it is time that rad
zeal changes should be made, for it sa-
vors too much of the inquisition.

Mrs. 4. {. Thompson was baking
bread yesterday morning, and TO hurry
it along in the raising, set it on the gaso-
line stove with cloth over it. In some
way the cloth took fire while Mrs
Thompson was in another part of the
house. On returning to the summer
kitchen she was surprised and good
deal frightened to find the whole room
in blaze. Rushing to the door she
shouted for help, and was not long in
getting assistance.
Charlie Miles, who was painting on a
house near by, seeing that the fire was
gaining Roadway fast and that to run
to the engine house and ring the bell
would mean the loss of considerable
valuable time, climbed upon the roof,
where the fire had eaten quite a hole
through, and called on the neighbors to
form line and pass up their buckets of
water. In this way they soon had it
extinguished.

"The Little Red School House.

The greatest institution III America,
is The Little Red School House. How
this synonym of the common school or
iginated it would be hard to tell, be-
cause there are but few of us who have
ever seen the red school house. They
are generally painted white with green
blinds, if they have any blinds. But
red, white, green or drab the house may
be painted, the free, common, public
schools held in them, are what make
America what it is.
The common school has been one of
the greatest successes of Il great free
people. 1t has always been a triumph.
1t fits our country, our government, our
institutions, our laws. 1t is like the

The common school has the seat of

Of hearts. The school house is at the

of township, always humble and I'M
obtrusive, considering the part it plays,
the work it does is looked back to by
millions of men and women with feel
ings for which any words form made
quate expression. There was found
that priceless gift, an education, when
there was no other opportunity, no other
door open. There were found the be-
ginnings of knowledge; the dawnings of
ambition; perhaps the spring of love,
the very first inspiration of life. In the
minds Of the boundless numbers as they
look back to 1T, the humble walks of
the school house rise and spread and

it would seem as though that man was

1t is then that he begins to feel as

became frightened and took to his heels,

that he gained entrance through a
door that had been left unlocked in the
evening for one of the young men who
was spending the evening out. The
burglar must have gone in after Mr..
Carabin had retired and secreted him
self somewhere in the house waiting
patiently till the young man returned,

we take the liberty of giving an opin-

for ''cobble-stone cutters" That kind
of material for cutters is out CT date
