UNARA VIEW.

1t is with sadness that we announce
the death Of Tabbatha Simpson, the
beloved companion of Rev. G.. w.
Simpson. While he was away attend
ing a revival, unwelcome death stepped
in and snatched away that sweet, sad
face. How much Mr.. Simpson will
miss his best friend, only those who
have had the same sorrow will know.
We offer our coincidence and rAmem-
Der that Table" is not dead, but
sleepeth. The people are somewhat
divided politically. Some are for
Cochran; the majority are for w. p.
Brownlow for Congess. If Brownlow
is not an dedicated" man, a farmer of
the past, he'll get there just the same.
Moreover Brownlow seould go to Con-
gress this time. The school at this
place closed with a spelling bee. Mrs.
Craigmiies has taught a very good
school, and was generally liked. The
other schools will close shortly. 1t is
to be hoped that the time will come
in the near future when we the people
of the Fifth District can have an eight
or nine months school for the children;
nay enough per month to justify a
good teacher and then there will be no
use sending such young children to
college where their parents can have
no control over their actions.

ENTIRELY TOO SMART.

A Washington professional man has
an intelligent horse. The gentleman
lie in the habit of going on occasional
sprees, and when he does, the horse
knows at once that his driver does not
want to 90 home, and takes him to a
country house about seven miles from
the city.
The professional man, when about to
spend an evening among the boys.
sends word to his wife that he has
been called out of town, and in this
way has been able to keep the fact that
he drinks a secret from every one ex
cept the companions with whom he
goes on sprees.
A few evenings ago the wife and a
lady visitor started for a drive. The
horse noticed that something was
wrong with the way the lines were
grasped, and started for the country
place, %supposing that the owner was
intoxicated again. No amount of pull
ing or whipping could be made to
change his course, and about dark he
halted in front of the resort. Here,

her that portion of the wharf could be
used for a garden.
Al accordingly hauled several wagon
loads of good soil and spread it several
feet thick over the place where it looked
to Mrs. McLaren as If it would do the
most good. The garden was a success
from the start. The warm, moist air of the
marsh was just what the flowers wanted,
and they blossomed in great profusion.
Mrs. McLaren has taken full charge of
the garden and done all of the work her
self. She has planted several palms that
have turned out well, and a number of
rosebushes that are always covered with
bright colored blossoms. che garden is
on the southern side of the house, and ex-
tends back over the waters of the creek.
rustic seat has been built amid the
flowers, and on warm days the lady of the
house takes her sewing there and, as she
says, 'enjoys life." AL says that he often
misses the appropriated portion of the
wharf when he has certain kind of work
to do, but thinks that his wife has put it
to better use than ever ne did.

Review Mr.. Preston states that the worlds
production OF gold for 1898 was the largest
in history, amounting in round mum bers
to $155,522,000." The product for 1894,
however, very largely exceeded-probably
by 25 per cent-the product OF 1898 There
is scarcely any assignable limit to the gold
known to exist in the world, or even in
the United States. 1t is said that
simply by the removal of the restrictions
on hydraulic mining California can pro-
duce half billion of gold. The quantity
easily obtainable in Colorado is stupen-
dous. Other parts of the United States are
also rich, while Australia and Russia prob
ably possess a stock equal to our own, and
are increasing the annual output every
year.
But the most surprising and, so to
speak, revolutionary facts regarding gold
that have recently come to light are those
concerning the great Witwatersrand mines
of South Africa. There gold is found lin

his customers were always pleased, al
though it was whispered that he had a
habit of converting stray cats into the
most delicious sausage, and circumstantia
evidence tended to prove the fact.
On one occasion well-known newspa-
per man caught Pete in the actof purchas-
ing a number of half-starved cats from
some street urchin. He asked a few
pointed questions and found that Pete was
in the habit of buying all the cats he could
get. Furthermore, he was told that the
cats were kept about the shop until they
got fat. when they were killed and made
into the finest grades OF weinerwurst. Pete
had even been heard to state that cat meat
was superior to pork. 1t was whittier and
had finer flavor.
The newspaper man published all the
facts he had learned in morning paper,
fully expecting that Pete would be in a
rage on account of it. But instead he was
pleased, and even looked upon the article
as a good advertisement.
Not long afterward Pete had a new sign
put on top of his building, that at once
became famous. People focked from all
directions to see it. The sign was gigantic

YOUNG WOMEN WHO WORK.
Is Business Employment Demoralizing
to the Fair Sex?

The fact cannot be disputed that no sin
gle factor in modern life is doing so much
to degenerate our young womanhood as
this mad race on the part of girls. impelled
by necessity or not, to go into the business
world. These may sound like strong
words to the ears of some, but to those
who are really cognizant of the immensity
of the evil results that are being wrought
they will simply fit the case. and not go
beyond it. In altogether too many of our
commercial and industrial establishments,
stores and factories, the men into whose
hands is given the power to employ and
control girls are not fit, from a moral
tandpoint, to herd swine.
and yet thousands of our young women
are allowed to 60 from their homes to
work under the influence of these men
and in the atmosphere vitiated by them.
And why2 Simply because it is consid.
cred more "respecta BILE" to be empioyed
in an Office, store or factory than to be en-
gaged in domestic service. The very word
servant has taint about it that the ma
joritv of young women dislike, and from
which they fee. But what else are they
in business establishments than servants
pure and simple? There can be no differ
ence but an Imaginary one. That is all.
Far less leniency is shown in our business
houses to. women employees than is shown.
as a rule, in our homes to domestic help
infinitely less.
1t is the pot-and- kettle idea that seem
so painfully unrespectable to thousands OF
young women and. perhaps, they are not
so much to blame when one considers the
depth to which the idea of domestic SER
vice has been allowed to sink in America.
Just SO long as the well-to-do parents of
our country discourage the idea of house
hold knowledge in their daughters, as so
many do, just so increasingly difficult will
these same parents find it to secure good
domestic servants for their homes. Make
thing undesirable to one class and YOU
quickly make it unrespectable to another
class. We all like to ape the ideas and
manners Of those whom we fancy to be a
little above US i'll birth or station. Here is
where the great evil to domestic service
has been done and is being wrought. 1t
has been made purely ard lowly meniaI
and the result is that young women, COM

other avenues, which, with their inexperi-

THE BEST PAID POET.

James Smith Likely Received the
Highest Amount Per Line.
1t has been said that James Smith, one
of the authors of the cele brated Rejected
Addresses, was better paid for a trifing
exertlon of his versatile muse than any
poet since the world began. One day he
met Mr.. Stranan, the Kings printer, at a
dinner party, whom he found suffering
from gout and old age, though his intel
lectual faculties remained unimpaired,
and the next morning he transmitted him
the following ieu d'esprit:
Your lower limbs seem'd far from stout
When last saw you walk;
The cause presently found out
When you began to talk.
The power that props the body's length
/ n due proportion spread,
In you mounts upward, and the strength
All settles in the head
This compliment proved so highly ac-
ceptable to the old gentleman that he
made an immediate codicil in his will, by
which he bequeathed to the writer th g
sum of $4,000, being at the rate of 1915 for
each line.
