OF hi DAY.

Why do women prefer to write the
nasty novels they do now, instead Of
honoring themselves by putting their
names to those that would teach all
women to be better and nobler?
Why do men insist upon their wives
dressing and behaving as quietly as
possible, which is proper, and then
give voice to their admiration of some
loudly dressed, ud-mannered crea-
ture who is a disgrace to her sex.
Why do women teach their daught-
ers to be virtuous and only find it rec
essary to teach their sons to be honest?
Why do men who are passionate
lovers usually become such tiresome
husbands?
Why do women worry wrinkles on
their faces over petty troubles and
bear great ones magnificently?
Why do men forget that courtesy
becomes a husband as well as it does
a lover?
Why do women think that it doesn't
make any difference whether they ex-
! ert themselves to entertain their hus-
bands?
Why are refornners almost invariably
ugly to look upon?
Why r postage stamps SO lacking
in glue?
Why are bank notes SO disgracefully
dirty?
Why r kilograms invaribly written
without any regard to the ems of the
messenger
Why r messenger boys capable oil
being as impudent as-well, there is
nothing that compares with their i'm
pudence.

these questions, and I shall be obliged

Base Ball League.

From tine Ceatralia Courier
What's the matter with having a
base ball league this year, embracing
Moherly, GeasraIia and Sturgeon oom-
bined, Columbia, Mexico and Fulton.
A circuit embracing the above towns
ought to pay. Centralia and Sturgeon
combined could put u team in the field
that would hold its own with the
cracker jacks of the other burgs. 1t
has also been suggested that Paris be
admitted to the contemplated circuit.
II Paris has solved the ~intrieacies of the
game and understands the mysteries
of the ''catcher's box by this time,
there could be no objection, as the
clubs would have to have a tail-ender
anyway, and Paris would make a good
one.
Speaking of base ball calls to mind
how Centralia wiped the earth up with
neighboring clubs last year. Mexico
gave us the hardest tussle, but the final
result stood 2 to / in our favor, Mex
leo thought they had pudding in the
Prairie Queen lads the first time they
appeared on Mexico's diamond. But
ut the end Of the game the victory was
ours. Then Mexico came to Centraiia
and through courtesy and several 9TH
er things, we let them have the Sec
ond game in order to get a third one
out OF them. And we got it. For
eight long innings the Mexico fans
could only boast OF a solitary run Then
we got sorry for them and gave them
three more, that making the game
stand Z TO lin our favor. Alas, poor
Mexicol They died hard, but they
died just the same. However, the
Mexico club didn't disSand. They Sc
cured the Centralia pitcher and made
monkeys out Of the Fulton boyssever-
al times before the frost fell and the
season ended.

The Harlan Trial.
From the Fulton Sun.


We have just been shown a letter
from a responsible gentleman at Fay
cite, saying that he had interviewed
each juryman in the Harlan case and
found that on the first ballot the jury
stood seven for murder in the first de-
gree, four for murder in the second
degree and n for acquittal, and that
the n who was for acquittal would
have agreed to a verdict of murder in
the second degree with a penitentiary
sentence Of is or 20 years il those who
were for hanging would have met him
on this proposition. Four of the first
degree men, however, refused to re-
cede from their first position and thus
it was that the jury failed to bring in
a verdict. The whole jury were un-
doubtedly in favor of a conviction,
differing only rs to the punishment.

There was a business man who failed
To win the longed-for prize
OF riches and prosperity;
He did not advertise.
There was a lover once who died
Quite w~retched, l suppose,
Because all through his life he was
Too bashful to propose.
There was another man whose WAYS
his neiglbors greatly panied,
Because he didn't know enough
To go in when it rained.
All three were fools; but worst of all,
To everybody's eyes,
Was he who was a business man.
And didn't advertise.
