COVE AGAM.

When the democratic mass meeting
at Morgan forgave Senator Mer-
Ger for his political trans
gressions and took him back
into the fold on the promise that he
would quit bucking the silver tidal
wave, we thought that everything was
settled and that there would be harmo-
ny to waste. But Jess is gone again,
and in breaking away he fired this
kind of shot through the Courier:
81 shall be dong my duty as loyal
democrat long after those who seek to
discredit my efforts have found a just
reward in the penitentiary, and after
the,demagOgues who are riding con-
spicHously the crest of the free silver
wave have felt the political embraces
OF Mary Ellen, COxey and SOckless
Jerry. 1t is usually pleasant and
sometimes profitable to gallOp with the
gang, but when | ask a seat on the
band wagon it VIII be going my
way"
Now, we.dOn't know of anybody who
has tried to discredit any of dear Jess's
efforts. 1t is true that some of his
friends, this paper among the number,
advised against his making one particu-
lar effort. Weknew that it would leave
bad taste in his mouth, and that he
would be that much harder to pacify.
Butwe believe the good man will come
back again after July 7, and while he

ISOLATE for the next few days we are go
ing to keep bis seat on the free silver
band wagon reserved. There viii be
room in that vehicle for all true. fight
ing democrats then, and when
Jess and the other recalcitrants
are comfortably seated we will move
forward amid the beating of drums
and tinkling of cymbaIs in victorious
charge upon Mary Ellen, SOckless Jer-
ry and other horrid creatures.

His Honor Cuts Grain.

From the Greensboro Herald-J ournal.
Saturday Judge Hart cast his vote and
then went into the country on private
business. While riding along he saw an
industrious farmer cutting grain by the
roadside of whom he asked if he was not
going 70 the polls. NO." said he, "my
crops need me and | cannot leave"
Wherein pom the gallant and patriotic
judge dismounted and asked him to take
his horse, ride to town and vote, while
he himself labored in his stead. When
the farmer returned the sweat upon the
face of his honor and the sheaves he had
gathered plainly told he had kept his
promise.

The potato patch on the farm became
infected with bugs recently, and in order
to save the crop Superintendent B. J.
Davis gave the vines liberal coating of

Jacob ProbsU, one of the inmates of the
farm, was taken violently ill and died
within couple of hours in great agony.
He explained before he died that he had
always had a mania for devOuring
insects of all kinds, and that he had eat
en- number of bugs off the potato
vines. He had falling for rats als,, he
said, but the facts concerning his strange
appetite he had kept secret to avoid

Not Pleasing to Contemplate.

Ff0m the Amerlcus Herald.
For the first time within our knowl-
edge there is now confined in our Jail a
woman charged with a capital crime,
and the very thought of it is gruesOme
indeed. We can read of women being
confined for such crimes in other parts
of the country without giving the matter
second thought, but when we have
such cast right at our door the matter
takes on an entirely different aspect.
l. is true that no one suffered either
physically Or financially from her crime
of arson, but the law does not consider
that; it only takes cognizanee of the
crime itself and will pass sentence &C
cordingly. We are indeed glad to say
that no one was injured by this woman's
act, but the thought that she has been
indicted for crime which may be pun
ishable by death is anything but a pleas
ant one.

was on the lay off Tacoma in a boat

it and towed it to the pier. The shark
was not seriously injured, so he passed

chain to the pier. The creature is now
feeding heartily, according to the

toned &c its stern fastening.

morning. The heavens are bright with
stars, and about us masts and rigging,
smokestacks and ventilators rise up Iii
shadowy outlines, while the big guns
loom ill-defined and ghostlike. In TIE
eangway sentinels are pacing; on the
bridge quartermaster keeps his look

two more on the upper side for back
with a bit of cork at the top of these,

with the table and stool. The next
piece of manufacture might be tee

come into play.
Cut a match in half; sharpen one end
little. Cut thin slice crosswaEs
from a claret cork ard stick the match
through the middle of it, pointed end
first. Cut cut circle of cardboard
four times as large as the cork, and
draw two lines at right angles across
the disk. That will leave it divided into
four quarters, and these quarters are
to be painted blue, green, yellow and
red. Bore a hole in the center of the
disk and slip the blunt end of the
match through it until the cardboard
rests upon the cork. Next cut another,
but rather thicker. slice from the cork

This will leave about an inch of match
to be taken between finger and thumb

die of the cork leaves pieces which, with
the aid of Bob's paints, can be turned
| into q beautiful set of dominoes, and by
cutting out square pieces one can make

used with the backgammon board.
