Man. Poor Man!
Exchanged

ENcnange.I
Man that is born OF woman is of
few days and full of microbes.
He hoppeth out of bed in the morn
ing, and his feet are pierced by the
tack of disappointment.
He sitteth down at nOOntide, and
lis stabbed by the pain of disaster.
He walketh through the streets of
the city in the pride aud glory of his
manhood, and slippeth on the bana-
ma peel of misfortune and unjOint-
eth his neck.
He smoketh the cigarette of con-
tentment, and, behold, it eXplodeth
with sharp noise--fOr twas loaded.
He slideth down the banisters of
life, and findeth them full of splinters
of torture.
Behold, he is impaled upon the
hook of dispair, ana furnishes bait
for the Leviathan Of Death in the
fathomless pit of Time.
Sorrow and trials follow him all
the days of his life.
In his infancy he is afflicted with
worms and collie, and in old age he is
tortured by rheumatism and ingrow-
lllR lOGIlllCs
He marrieth crOss-eyed woman
because her father is rich, and find
eth that she hath not sense enough
to fry meat.
His father-in-law then monkeyeth
with options, and goes broke.
What is man but tumOr on the
neck of existence?
He playeth the races, and betteth
his all on the brown mare because
he hath received tip.
The sorrel gelding winneth by a
neck.
Behold, he runneth for office, and
the dead-beat pulleth his leg ever
and anon, and then voteth against
him.
He exalteth himself among the
people, and swelleth with pride, but
when the votes are counted he find
eth that his name is Pants.
He goeth; forth to breathe the fresh
air and mediate upon the vanity of
all earthly things, and is accOsted by
a bank cashier with sight draft fol
$327.2O.
A political enemy lieth in wait fOl
him at the market, and walketf
round him growing like a cock.
What is man but a pimple on the
face of politics?

A strange Discovery.

An incident is reported as having
recently occurred in the Adriatic
sea which almost takes rank with
the discovery of Pompei. The nets
of the fishermen of the Istrian
peninsula have been constantly in
jured and torn as though by frag-
ments of rock or masonry. Divers
were sent down and discovered at
the depth of ninety feet submerged
city with streets and squares laid
out and the doors and windows half
covered with sea weed. There was
nothing beyond a constant water
supply to recommend it as a place
of residence. 1t is thought to be the
submerged city of Cissa, which
readers of Pliny will recall.

The annual concert, Tuesday
night, at the study hall, given by
the little folks of the Athen@um,
was witnessed by crowded house.
The interesting characters of the
Operetta, Little Red Riding Hood
and the Fairies in a Gypsy Camp"
were perfectly carried out by the
little people. The scenery was
pretty and natural, and the cast of
characters good. Alice West made
a sweet Little Red Riding Hood;
Cora Martin was motherly moth
er; Robert w. Smith danced like,
and acted the bear to perfection, and
had a good keeper in Nolan Gartner;
Russell Thompson made first-class

grandmother and was sharpening
his teeth for Red Riding Hood, he
was sentenced to hang. The twenty
beautiful little fairies, with their
charming queen, Miss Annie Elem

enchanted oaks and delighted
every one with their dancing. Miss

ENTERTAINMENTS.

Last Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. E. f.
Everett gave an elegant dining at
their quiet restful home on the Mt.
Pleasant pike in honor of Rev. and
Mrs. Davis. A more delightful day
could not have been spent, and "A
more cordial welcome could not
have been given the minister and
his excellent bride. This home,
which for years was unbrOken in its
happiness, has within the last few
years undergone many changes, but
it has lost none of it's old time hos
pitality and good will to all friends
who cross the Threshold. Years ago,
when the house was full of children,
it was called 1.-The boys PARADISE"
now not single child is left in the
"home nest" Some rest on 1.-The
or ISIS plot over the river amid
heavens perfect lilies white" while
the others-busy in life's wOrk-are
scattered in distant fields. Still
they think of this dear old home as
an oasis to which they can return
and "rest under the shade of the
trees" when they are wearied or
sick, or tired, knowing that father
and mother are there to give words
of cheer and comfort, just as they
used to do.

Scott Jackson. She took with her
a switch of hair which was brought here by
the officers and identified, as well as the
clothing. and as we'll as the locks OF her
own hair. The shoes that were brought by
the officers here were bought Of Louis *
Hays by Pearl Bryan. Nov. IS 1896, and the
marks were identified by the dealers. As
soon as the officers interviewed Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan and other members OF the family,
they sent word 10 Cincinnati TO have Scott
Jackson, a student at the Ohio Dental Col
lege, in Cincinnati, arrested. The mother OF
Scott Jackson lives here. and the families
were intimate and highly respected.
The Bryan family also gave information
that led the officers to order the arrest of
William Wood, the son of Rev. ID. NJ. Wood.
at South Bend. Ind. Detectives Grim and
McDermott, of Cincinnati, and Sheriff Plum
mer. of Newport. KY, left here tonight for
South Bend TO arrest Wood. The families
of Jackson. Wood and Bryan are all well
known here. and the tragedy has created
the greatest excitement that was ever
known in this pert of Indiana.
The clew TO the arrest of Jackson and
Wood was given to the officers by the
Western Union operator here. He saw
letter written by Scott Jackson to William
Wood, in which the former told the latter
what to give Pearl Bryan and outlined
treatment for her. The officers had learned
from the post mortem at Newport, KY,
that the murdered woman was about to
become mother and they at once took the
clothing and other articles to the parents OF
the girl referred to in the letter. They
identified the Shoes clothing and hair and
gave such information as to lead to the
arrest When Pearl left home, Jan. IS, 1t
is believed that it was for a continuation of
treatment by her alleged betrayer.
