There are several things that injure
a man more than to cut his throat. An
honorable daughter dead is mourned
less than a daughter dishonored. L
know a school of superb culture,
temple of sanctity, where 300 young
women are gathered under the very
best religious influences and the lofti-.
est educational indictments. l have
wandered up and down the halls of
the palatial building in which their in
struction is given; have admired the
works of art there; and had occasion
to study infinitely the enthusiasm for
art and social improvement and re-
ligious usefulness which fill that
school, and vivify it's lofty regard for
intellectual culture. But this institu-
ton publishes no catalogue. Why?
Go to the New York society for the
suppression of vice, to the Boston So
ciety, or to the committee which have
been organized to suppress vice at
Providence and New Haven and Gin
cinnati and st. Louis and Chicago, and
you will find that school catalogues
are made the lattice work through
which moral lepers and assassins, Sc
cretly at night, under the cover of
mails, throw their poison into semina-
ries of all grades. 1t is a terrific sign
of the times when shrewd men of af-
fairs conducting a great school, dare
not publish a catalogue. show you
the caution in actual exercise. With
in twenty miles Of Boston the resplen-
dent school I have described stands
in its stately park. JOSEPH Cook.

Motto: "God and Home and Native Ian d -

Bob Burdette gives this simple rec
ipe: MY homeless friend with the
chromatic nose, while you are stirring
up the sugar in a ten cent glass of
gin, let me give you fact to wash
down with it. You may say you have
longed for years for the free, indie
pendent life of farmer, but you have
never been able to get money enough
to buy farm. But there is where
you are mistaken. For some years
you have been drinking a good i'm
proved farm at the rate of 100 SO. feet
at gulp. If you doubt this state
ment figure it out for yourself. An
acre of land contains 43, $50 feet. Es-
timating, for convenience, the land
at $50 an acre, you will see that it
brings the land at just one mill per
so. foot. Now pour down the fiery
dose and imagine you are swallowing
strawberry patch. Call in five of
your friends and have them help you
gulp down that 500 foot garden. Get
on prolonged spree some day and
see how long it will take to swallow
a pasture land to feed a COW. Put
down that glass of gin; there is dirt
in it-3OO feet of good, rich dirt, worth
$43.56 per acre.

Mrs. Helen Campbell has admira bly,
put the argument for the new times
as contrasted with the old. She says
that an energetic lady eighty years
of age declared that the good old
times were largely humbug. She said:
''Don't I remember! There was my
beautiful Aunt Adelaide, whose hus-
band kicked her out into the snow one
winters night in one of his periodical
sprees. He had done it before, and
this time she would not go back. But
the law gave him her property and
the three children, aud she ended her
days in an insane asylum because she
could not get them. No, my dear,
thank God, you live to-day and not a
hundred years ago, and every new
day will give you more and more
cause for being thankful. 1t is bet
ter time for every soul on earth, and
this thing people call good old times
is a dreary humbug, that better be
decently inferred and done with.
Give me the new time and the new
man, for he is coming right along side
by side with the new WO an'-God
bless her!" and God bless him, too!

burning wood and heating just double the
rooms with less wood than we possibly could
with the Gold Coin. 1t makes difference
how the wood is thrown in, it will burn and
last so many hours that one has not to be al
ways tending the fire, and taking up the ash
es is not the thing to be dreaded as is the case
with other stoves. More can be said. Surely
any person buying Round Oak' stove will
make mistake.

have two of the Ground Oak' stoves in
use and like them very much. I think the
"Round Oak" is the best stove I ever saw.
The fire is under perfect control. you
have much or little heat good sized chunk

recommend the Round Oak'' to all who are
in want of good stove. Yours truly

TRUE & BLANCHARD, Newport,
Messrs.-I would say in regard to the
Ground Oak" stove we recently purchased of
you that from your mmendation and my
personal examination of its merits md quail
ity we had very high expectations of it fro M
the first, and now after several weeks practi-
cal use we find it to more than meet ex-
pectations. 1t is very easy to run, and no
smoke dust in the room, giving out very
much more heat from given amount of fuel
consumed than any other stove ever used
No housekeeper who uses wood as fuel can
be quite happy without "Round Oak stove.
Very truly yours,

TOOK THE HINT.

One of our young society swells,
who enjoys the reputation of stay
ing outrageously late whenever
he pays a visit in the evening,
called on a young lady recently,
and he staid and staid till the poor
girl felt like getting up and kill
ing him. The conversation drag
ged, but that didn't disturb him
He doomed on, talking insipidly
about everything that came into
his mind. Finally he said that hi
thought he was endowed with
powers of hypnotism.
"Why," said he, II could pu
you sound asleep in ten minutes.
"Oh," said the girl" it wouldn'
take half that long.
The shot struck, aud he fort

An Empty Story.

A story comes from Washington
to the effect that the politicians of
the 6. o. p. have been startled by
the announcement that the Repu-
blicans who favor the free coinage
of silver will. in the next national
convention of their party, control
the delegations from ten Western
States, and that their programme
is to demand the nomination of
Senator Don Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, or some other pronoun-
ced silver man. In the event that
they fail to carry their point they
are to bolt the Republican con-,
vention and appear as a commits
sion before the Democratic con-
vention and request the nomina-
ton of free silver Democrat.
Senator Morgan they prefer to
any other man, and it is said they
will pledge the electoral votes of
the ten Western States if the De-
mocratic party makes him it's no.
minee. This is very interesting
political story intended no doubt
to relieve the dullness of the "dog
days." but there is nothing in it.
The Republican silverites are far
from being able to control the de-
Legations of ten States in the
West or anywhere else, and if we
read the signs of the times Alright
they will find themselves in q pi.
tiful minority when the Republi.
can national convention meets
next summer, and instead of bolt.
ing, will 60 scurrying into line al
the crack of the party whip. There
is every reason to believe that the
story was invented for the pur
pose of bolstering up the free sill
YER movement in the South ant
West, which is now on the declin,
and promises soon to fzzle out
States.

Hot Turtle Soup.
Right Off the Turtle.
Only Ten Cents "a Plate!

"Folks came and bought the soup They
found it good, and for three days Conway
supplied the town. He cleaned out the
turtle, but he made enough money to
build u houseboat, and he says that he
won't have to fish more than two months
year after this. -
mighty few folks ever have such luck
at fishing as Johnny Conway had. Now,
there was Mike Downs. Mike thought he
had struck good thing in the fishing
line, but it got him into trouble, and I'm
afraid all the hooks he's got won't pull
him out of it.
mike lived over back of the Brick
church, and his speciality was fishing in
the creeks and ponds with small hooks.
He could catch fish where no one else ever
thought of looking for them, and he once
made good living selling them to the
summer boarders.
But this spring Mike found a new kind
Of fish In one of the creeks over back of
Hackensack, and they got him into trou-
BILE. They were goldfish, but a lot bigger
than the kind you see in glass jars.
lone day when he was cleaning lot Of
the new goldfish Mike discovered that
their scales were perfectly round and
smooth and just the size of a gold dollar.
Strange as 1t may cm, they were also the
same color on both sides, n pure gold color,
and just tho right weight
Then brilliant idea hit Mike right
between tho eyes. He went of somewhere
and got a money stamping outfit, with
which he could put on the eagle, tho date,
~ehe letters and all that, and turn tho scales
of those goldfish into gold dollars.
1T was great scheme better than sell
Ing gold bricks to summer tourists from
the city Why, Mike could fish one day,
stamp scales all night, and next day he
would have gold dollars to throw at the
birds.
"He might have been millionaire by
this time IL the fish had held out, but the
officers over In Jersey are such meddlcrs
they don't give an onterprising man n
chance. Somehow they got on To Mikes
mint, and they camo down and not only
took possession of that and all his money,
but carried him Oft To Trenton and put
him In jail. They said that his gold dol
lars were counterfeit. contend that they
were natural product
But the laws over I'm Jersey are 50 strict
that man has little chance 10 push along
good thing when no finds it. -
