A suit of tar and feathers should be
given the Indiana legislature which
has voted to turn convicts out at the
expiration Of their terms in their prison
garb and without cent. That law
ought to be administered to those Hoo
sier hoodoOs, of the Posey county pat
tern, who call themselves statesmen

Nearness of kin is no warrant Of
friendship. If you have money your
relatives flock around you like chickens
after worm, to the third and fourth
generation; but if you are poor, you
may stand on one foot in the lee of some
old chimney, cas- sparrow alone upon
a housetop,' none of them offering to
share with you single crumb.-N orth

isfied that the people Of this town can
get along without us, for we have been
getting along without the people for

Sing song of penitence, a fellow full
of rye; four and twenty serpents dane
ing in his eye; when his eye was open
he shouted for his life wasn't he pretty
chump to 60 before his wife? His hat
was in the parlor underneath chair;
his boots were in the hallway, his coat
was ON the stair; his trousers in the
kitchen, his collar on the shelf; but he
hadn't any notion where he was himself
when the morn was breaking some one
heard him call; his head was in the ice
box which was the best of all.-Ex.
Wanted-A friend: One who will
recognize me when | am compelled tC
wear patched pants; who will take my
hand as / am sliding down hill instead
of giving me kick to hasten descent
who will lend me dollar without two
dollars security; who'll come to me
when I am sick: who will pull off his
coat and fight for me when odds are
two to one; who will talk of me behinC
my back as he talks to my face. Such {
friend is wanted by ten thousand times
ten thousand human beings Throughout
the whole world.-Whlte Bear LAKE

Lisbon On. d. Free Press: We d'
f not believe in newspapers trying t.
convict a man of murder on circum
? stantial evidence-not when the court
| can get whack at the prisoner. Tn
e fact that the press has mighty influ
Y ence upon the public mind is every rea

s be printed of speculative nature in
Y murder trial. Life should not be tam
S pered with by the press-it is guilty 0
e enough without this great act to answe
+ for-of course when a man refuses t
e pay his subscription, hanging is a
e right and the newspaper can say so wit
a very clear conscience.-Ex.
