ONE OF OUR TRAITS.
We Are Ungrateful to the Living, but Hon.
or the Dead.


Lave you ever thought of how very I'M
grateful we are toward the living, and
how we hustle around to make amends
for it after they are dead?
Among the prosperous farmers just over
the border of an adjoining state was one
noted for making things count. He had
as good and faithful wife as ever fell to
the lot of a man, but he did not seem to
have much time for her. She managed the
household affairs splendidly, made the fin
est butter that went to the city market
and never allowed her family to want for
home comforts. If she got the toothache,
he allowed her to doctor it, and il she COM
planned of the pain he said she was growl-
ing and showed by his manners that he
was annoyed.
But If sheep got the shifts, or If COW
showed signs of hollow horn, or pig be-
cameslightly scroffy, he would tear around
at great rate, sit up all night or ride post
haste to town and buy very expensive
medicines or bring the veterinary. He
couldn't bear to see an animal suffer; be-
sides II 1t died 1t was dead loss.

That man took 1t awfully hard, wore
Grape, went moping around for year or
more and put up monument to her
memory at cost that would have covered
the expense of providing her with needed
help, medical attention or made life a
comfort to her and pleasure to him.
Cincinnati furnishes typical case.
Professor Vaughn, one of the most
learned Of its scholars, notably versatile,
respected and revered among scientists
and philosophers, was allowed to go in
rags and finally TO die for want of food.
With tattered overcoat, dilapidated hat,
leaky shoes and empty pocket he was per.
mitted to make his home on the streets in
winter and pick up here and there a bit to
eat, like friendess dog
AS soon as his starved, emaoated, dead
body had been discovered the whole town
rushed TO the rescue. This good people
who knew him well and had often seen
him in tatters were Mortified to learn that
he had died in want The papers extolled
his greatness in columns Of editorial, the
ministry recounted his virtues in glow
ing words, and leading citizens at once
proposed monument to perpetuate his
memory and Of course to show their high
appreciation of the man and Of his accom-
plishments

Onening of HaY Long Seminary.

Tuesday the first of September was
the opening of the third school year of
Hay Long Seminary at Mt. Pleasant.
There were many indications of an in
creased patronage this year. Prot.
Buchanan, Principal, and Frof.. Il. ii.
Bartenstein, Associate, were looking
well and hearty and very cheerfully en-
tered upon their duties. Prof. Buch-
anan is a graduate of Wooster Univer-
sity, Ohio, from which he received the
A. NJ. and Phi. d. degrees, (diplomas.)
Prof. Bartenstein, as Prof. of ancient
and modern languages for two years in
the Seminary, has gained the universal
admiration of his patrons as compe-
tent teacher and an educated, christian
gentleman. Miss Minnie Ramsey of
Heidleburg, Miss, was present as teach
err of music. She is a graduate of the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and
has had five years experience. She is
an attractive, refined christian lady. 1t
is hoped that such competent teachers
will achieve merited success in this
young seminary. SENEN.

KING LEAR AMENDED.
This Old Gentleman Used a Bit of Strategy
and Had a Good Time.

This Old Gentleman Used a Bit of Strategy
and Had Good Time.
A we'll known attorney told good story
the other day about man who had such a
profound contempt for wills that he fol-
lowed the example of King Lear and divid-
ed his property among his children before
death. Like unto Lear's children, when
they had thus been duly provided for
against material needs, they gradually be-
trayed the fact by their actions that the
old man was no longer as much to be loved
and obeyed as before he had disposed of his
goods and chattels He found difficulty in
securing really comfortable place to sleep
under the roof of any of his offspring and
the i'll treatment which he was eventu-
ally accorded would have shortened his
life had he not as last resort consulted a
wise legal friend. Said the latter for he
trusted the old man implicitly;
"Give me receipt for this gold which
have here" taking a bag from the safe,
land will let you take it few days. Go
home, be apparently mysterious and secre-
tive in your actions, and when you think
you have sufficiently aroused the curiosity
of your children at whose house you are
now staying, manage to count out the
gold on the table in your room, making 1t
seem as much as possible, and at a time
when you are sure you are watched. -
This advice the old man accepted. There
was more than once some one at the key
hole when he counted his pretended hoard
OF gold coin, and it was not long before a
marked change came over the manner OF
mis- children. Those who had seen and
heard could not keep 1t from the rest, and
as a result nothing was too good for the
old gentleman. When he was convinced
that he had made the impression desired,
he returned the gold to the old lawyer
and thereafter lived without want. When
he died, the strong box which he had kept
locked with a great show Of secrecy, was
opened There was nothing in 1t but a
Ratchet and a slip of paper, which read:
HE who would give away his property
before he is dead would do better to take
this Ratchet and cut off his head Wash

Iceboxes For Cut Flowers.

Florists keep their reserve stock of cut
flowers in iceboxes, having the door open
ing in front. Sometimes the door is made
with glass panels through which the flow
ers may be seen. The larger iceboxes OF
the wholesale dealer in cut flowers are in
dimensions more like deep, good sized
closet The door is sufficiently high SO
that one may step through it into the in
terror and select the flowers required
Flowers are brought from the greenhouses
of the growers to the wholesale dealers in
the city packed in boxes made for the pur-
pose, but without ice. The distances are
comparatively short, the flowers are
brought by express and handled quickly.

RECONCILIATION LIFTS.
Copies TO be Made and Hung up Before
,M the Election.

Copies TO be Made and Hung up Before
, the Election.
Under the election law the registra-
tion officers are required to make entries
in book known as ''public copy"
which is TO be placed In the room
where the election is to be held, for
one week before the election. As there
are 6S election districts in this city,
there will be 68 Of these public copies.
During the time they are hung up any
elector in the city may examine the
copies, and il he desires. take down
the names.
This is one of the best features of
the law, since it enables one to see at a
glance who are registered, hcw they
are registered and the number regis.
tered. And if an examination should
disclose that certain persons are regis.
tered who are not entitled to be regis
tered, such person should come pre-
pared with his evidence on the day of
the election, challenge such persons and
prevent them from voting.
The act also requires that with
in 48 hours after the last day
of registration, the inspector of
each election district shall send
one of his registers to the Depart
mont of Elections. The Department of
Elections will thus receive 6S registers.
one from each election district. They
examine these, correct them, if they
need correction, and on the day of elec.
tion, between the hours of a. m. and
the opening of the polls, 8 and a. m.,
return each register to the inspectors of
the election district from which it was
sent. The inspectors correct their other
two registers and the public copy with
the register which the Department of
Elections corrected for them and make
them all agree before they open the
polls.
They also receive from the Depart
ent OF Elections record of deaths
coming the names of all who have
died since the last election. They cor
rect their registers and the public copy
with this and with few formalities,
are ready to vote.
