Miss Maude Richards commenced

Rev. Frank M. Day closed his course
of spiritual meeting here last Monday.
The Rev. Day being a Methodist of the
old school, naturally created a deep in
terest among his hearers in all classih-
cations and stages of Christianity and
of sin, and many an armor-plated sin
ner was no doubt set to specializing
on the possibility of there being an ever.

with golden harps and jeweled crowns,
as well as there being a place of ever

accompaniment Of discording accor-

The Reverend gentleman's visit to
Chloride, as we'll as his divine dis
courses, were enjoyed and appreciated
by our citizens who would be pleased
to have him come again.
Us. Brown, an old-time and much
respected resident of this place, after
years Of sickness and suffering, passed
peacefully away at I o'clock last Sun
day evening. Two weeks ago he was
very i'll and many thought his end had
come, but he rallied and was on tn
streets again last week up to the day
before he died. Sunday morning he
was taken worse again and about noon
he passed into a state of unconscious
ness from which be never recovered.
The funeral took place at the school
house Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
the Rev, Frank NJ. Day officiating.
Very little or nothing is known of the
deceased's early life, only that he was
q native of the state Ohio and was
about forty-six years of age. During
his long residence here he proved to
be an honest, upright sober and indus
trious man, and during his long illness,
though in very moderate circumstances,
he struggled on to the last independent
of aid. Death is sad, but those who
knew him cannot but feel that John
Solomon Brown has been mercifglly re-
lieved of a life of painful burden and
misery. He placed his effects in charge
Of DR.. Blinn. and examination of his
private papers show bills of sale Of
his small property drawn in favor of
several friends who had oftimes be-
friended him when sick.

Some years ago M. Zotenberg COM
pletely vindioated the literary integrity
OF Galland, who was long believed to
have himself invented number of the
tales in ''Les Mile ct Une Nuts" and
deliberately foisted them on the public
as genuine Arabian compositions. As
those tales-"Aladdin, Z" "AH Baba, -
Prince Ahmed" the "Envious Sis
ters. etc. are among the most fasci-
mating in the whole of that famous story
book, this was certainly paying a very
high compliment to the great oriental
lists inventive genius, if 1t did impugn
his honesty. .1t .l.i-75I'''
Some candid scholars there were,
however. who strongly maintained that,
though those narratives were not to be
found in any Arabic text of "Elf Layla
wa Layla," Galland must have taken
them down from the recitals of profess
slonal story tellers in the Levant N.
But the question was finally settled
when M. Gutenberg discovered them in
a manuscripts copy Of ''The Nights, !"
which had been recently acquired for
the national library at Paris. and pub
llshed the Arabic text Of the tale Of
Aladdin and his lamp, together with a
monograph on the authenticity of the
tales which had been hitherto common
y regarded as spurious. Notes and

LITTLE SAM COFFEE.
P1ckpocket, Sneak Thief and the Worst Boy
In All Chicago. o9i M "a

P1ckpocket, Sneak Thief and the Worst Boy
In All Chicago. 9i Ef
Sam Coffee says he is 12 years old,
and his appearance bears him out. He
Is not more than 4 feet 8 inches in
height and weighs perhaps 80 pounds.
His face is round and boyish. and his
black hair hangs down over his fore
bead in short, crisp locks. Altogether
he is a bright and clever looking little
lad, such one as in kilt and curls
and lace collar would make a Little
Lord Fauntleroy any fond mother might
be pardoned for being proud of. But
there is big man over at the city hall
who declares the dark eyed, handsome
little fellow is the worst boy out of all
the three hundred and odd thousand
who make Chicago their home. Tears
come as easily to his eyes as they do to
those Of any little chap who has lost his
top But with him they are part Of
his stock in trade. The muscles which
control his tear glands are under the
control of his will, and on occasion he
can start copious flow of tears as easily
as an ordinary man can smile He Is
like the tender shoot of some plant
which has sprouted in dark cellar,
and which has been dwarfed and stunt
ed and twisted by stones and rubbish
piled upon it. The difference Is he can
not be torn up and thrown away, nor
can the gardener who is responsible be
punished for his fault oev
When he is with those who, like him
self, live in the dark shadow, he makes
no pretenses, but chatters away in the
thieves argot as aptly as another boy
might lisp his multiplication table or
his "Now, I lay me down to sleep"
He uses his childhood as shield against
the consequences of his crime. Deceit 10
at the bottom Of his life He edges into
a crowd, picks the pocket of woman,
and, If he is perhaps caught in the act,
cries 30 bitterly for his mother that in
the tenderness of her woman's heart his
victim bids him 90. Reform seems far
of from him, though his life Is but be-
gun. Before now he has confessed peni-
tence with his lips, while his hands
have been at the same time in the pock-
cts Of the man who would help him.
The streets are his home The cells Of
the city prisons are more familiar to
him than the walls Of any sohoolhouse
Forty times and more he has been ar
rested. The mark of the thief is already
upon hm. Where shall he turn? And
who will be to him father and mother?
Or shall he go on through what prom
ises to be long life with the visiting
card Of "Sam Coffee, piokpocket and
sneak thief" in his hand?-C Chicago

Hon. Andrew J. Cobb of Atlanta has
in his possession one of the most inter

GOOD LUCK DELIVER US.

Tho Author of 'Ben Bolt" Again Drops
.4# Into Poetry. @ vcs
Congressman Thomas Dunn English
found time to spin this fabric about the
last congress just as he was leaving it:
From CAB and doctrines pestilential,
From Outhwaite's manner consequential,
From Reeds old Jokes by long use tarnished,
But frequent mended, patched and vanished,
Good Luck deliver us.
From Oockran's high and lofty airs,
From sham economy Of Sayers,
Which saves at spigot wastes at bunghole,
And leaves the country in a dunghole,
Good Luck deliver us.
From Dingley's courtesy to strangers,
From Springer's very good Intentions
And Jones' hate of soldiers pensions,
Good Luck deliver US.
From Bailey's constitutional scruples,
Which much our misery quadruples;
From Murray rum, which sense can smother
And make a Quaker kick his mother,
Good Luck deliver us.
From those shakespearean quotations
By Brosius in his great orations,
From BANDS contempt for golden money,
From Walkers vitriol and honey,
Good Luck deliver US.
From Holman's skinning Of the red men,
From Morse's eulogies on dead men,
From John Dunn's eloquence, God bless Us,
And other things which might distress us,
Good Luck deliver us.
