OLD JoHN's TRANSLATION
Every one in Boston knows of old
John, the Orangeman, that pictur-
esque and almost historical person.
age who presides over the affections
OF all Harvard men. And every
one who knows John knows also
that his life's motto is that familiar
phrase which expresses briefly and
to the point the wish that Yale may
be forever relegated to the region
OF sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were
walking through the yard at Har-
ward, and on every hand they saw
the college seal bearing this MOTTO
"Christo ct Ecclesie.
Not being on speaking terms
with Cicero, Caesar and the other
Romans, this did nothing but to
arouse their curiosity.
Finally they met John.
Il say" said one of the visitors.
| see those words everywhere
Can you tell me what they mean p
John looked carefully at the La
tin inscription, bit his pipe a little
harder and then replied gravely:

'Ah! they would be prosecuted

Saint Maru's Beacon
Jumping for . Dinner.

Horace Vernet, the famous SON
Of famous father-both artists of
brilliant quality-was fond of tell
ing good joke at his fathers ex-
pense. The story, for which the
son is the authority, is related by
Nine. Ducrest, a lady-in-waiting
to Empress Josephine, in her re-
Gently published volume of reminis-
cences.
The elder Vcrnet was travelling
from Marseilles by the voiturin,
clumsy vehicle, so slow in its mo-
tions that the journey to Paris took
twenty-five days. Among the pas
sengers Vernet observed fat, red
faced man, who seemed to be as
dull in intellect as he was heavy in
person.
With view to amusing himself
at the expense of this comical fig
ure, Vernet began to address him
in a strain of polite compliment, to
which the other replied with awk-
ward good nature. The travellers
alighted to walk mp steep hill in
order to relieve the horses. On
their way they encountered ditch
OF some width, and Vernet, who was
a famous leaper, wagered that he
would jump clean over it.
Yen jump over III? exclaimed the
stout gentleman.
Certainly; it is narrow enough.
Narrow as il is, | should like to
see you do it.
Here go, then, said Vernet, as
he bounded lightly over the ditch.
That's well done. indeed said
the person whom Vernet had singh
cd out as his victim, but it strikes
me that ! could do it myself. Your
example has wound up my courage
and I'll try
'Youn exclaimed the painter,
bursting into fit of laughter. Il
should like to see you do it. I'll
wager a dinner you will fall into
the water
Don't brighten me beforehand.
Let's see, a dinner. How much
will that COST
About crown, | suppose.
That's a good deal; but no mat
ter, I'll try my luck
After a thousand wry faces the
fat gentleman leaped and fell like
heavy load about a foot beyond
the point which Vernet had reach
ed.
4 will have my revenge said the
latter, little piqued. you will
not refuse me that, l hope?'
'Oh, certainly not. What has
happened by chance may not hap
pen again and tomorrow we will
decide who shall pay for the dinner.
Accordingly the next day they
had new trial of agility. The fat
gentleman was again the winner
and he congratulated himself on
the good fortune that favored him.
Nernet, who was deeply mortified
at the triumph of his adversary, re-
peatedly renewed the wager and al
ways lost it. At length they reach
ed the last relay and the clumsy
traveller said:
Il return thousand thanks for
the handsome way in which you
have paid for my dinners almost all
the way to Marseilles. am anx-
ious to offer some little proof of my
gratitude. IL a few tickets for
Nicolet's would be acceptable l
shall feel much pleasure in Offering
them. | am engaged there as a
clown and am to make my first ap-
pearance in day or two
Vernet had been jumping against
"a professional and it was no wonder
he had lost.-Chicago News.

I read the experience recently of

little one began to creep about. Like
other babies, he investigated every
thing within reach, being especially at

the mother patiently replaced the
books and carried baby away. Just as
often he went back again, until pa

practical-the mischievous little hands
were punished and the books were

ITS SECOND Volt ME.
The Independent Enters Upon Its second
Year With This Issue With Every lndi-
cation of Even a Greater Prosperity
Than WAS Hoped for in the Begin
ming.

With this issue of the MARSHALL
COUNTY INDEPENDENT it enters upon
its second year. 1t is with modest
pride in the result of the venture by
which it was launched into the jour
nallstic field of Plymouth and Marshall
county on October -, 1891 that we
chronicle its success to this date.
rhe INDEPENDENT has grown III
many ways during the last year. 1t has
grown i'll circulation, it has grown lii
the amount of live news matter furn-
lshed to its readers from week to week,
and it has grown rapidly to a first place
among county seat raperS i'll the estl-
nation of its many readers.
One result of the starting of the MAR
SHALL COUNTY INDEPENDENT which
was not seriously contemplated in the
beginning has been the establishment OF
the DAILY INDEPENDENT, the first
number OF which was issued on july 3
of this year and which, we are pleased
to say, gives every indication OF pros
porous future profitable alike TO its
publishers and its leaders. The INDE-
PENDENT. daily and weekly, is conceded
to be iirst-ciass in every respect. Its
news gathering facilities are unequaled
in the county and Ii may be relied up
on with reference To Its consistent and
vigorous advocacy of local public inter
ests. We glYe our many readers greet
Ing with this number and trust that
their continued patronage may enable
us TO make still further developments
in our line OF work. Oar many patrons
