A Double Punishment.

A man was in the dock charged
with theft. He pleaded Guilty, >
but the jury's verdict was mot
guilty" The judge was not at all
satisfied with the result Of the trial
and remarked to the prisoner. 'sYou
do not leave this court without a
stain upon your character. for by your
own confession you are thief, and
by the verdict of the jury you are a
liar. Pick Me Up.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Rt. Hon. James Brice, NJ. p,
author of that most popular and sue
cessful work, The American com
monwealth, has written an article
tor the April Forum entitled tive
South African Constitutions" San
elaborate analysis of systems O.
government in the two South African
Republics-the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State.
The April McClure's will contain
what is about the first really authori
tative and direct account yet given o.
Professor Roentgen and his discovery
of the cathode rays. Immediately
on the announcements of the discovery
the editors of the magazine cabled Mr..
H. ]. W. Dam of London to hasten to
Wurzberg, and talk with Profeso,
Roentgen in his laboratory, and Learn
all there was to be learned of the new
marvel in photography The paper
will be illustrated with a protrait of
Professor Roentgen and numerous
photographs by the new process. A
supplementary article by Cleveland
Mofett will tell what has been done ii
America with the cathode rays.

OF his great commander, General Win

The enormous circulation of such
a magazine as The Ladies HON,
Journal can, in a sense, be understood
when it is said that during the las
six months of 1895 there were printed
sold and circulated over four millior
copies-Gn exact figures 4,o5S, 8oI3
Figures such as these give one som,
idea of the influence which may b
exerted by even a single one of tn
modern magazines.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.
Prof. crago Talks Of the Failure to Sc
cure Bids.

cure Bids.
Wheeling fnte1ligencer.
Prof. F. H. Crdgo returned from
Charleston, where he has been attend
ing the meeting of the state school
board, of which he is a member.
Speaking Of the result of the delib
erations OF the board, Prof. Crago said
I'VE received no bids whatever from
publishers willing to furnish spoilers
readers. examiners, arithmetics and
algepras on terms of even exchange
as provided by the new law. o.
course the effect of this is that there
will be no change of text books IN
these branches, unless the next legis
lature should provide terms that the
publishers can afford to meet. As
the matter now stands the schools
will doubtless continue to use the
books they now have, which, so far
as know. are acceptable to most Of
the educators of the State =
What will be the effect from the
standpoint of economy to the people
of the State" Prof. Crago was asked.
When you look at it in that way,
our inability to change from the books
now in use will, at a fair estimate,
save the parents and guardians of the
school children from purchasing from
$3.50, 900 TO 5000, 900 worth of books.
1t may be that the prices of the
publishers of the FIVE books named
are higher than they should be, but
as no one will agree to furnish them
any cheaper, what can we do, at least
at present? Whatever may be the
objection to those now in use, it is
certain that the large expenditure
necessary to complete change will
not have to be met"
Eyes, everything we did was unani-
nous. am sorry to see that some
newspapers are trying to make polit-
ical capital out of the situation.
don't see how they can do this. / will
say for my colleagues on the board.
Ex-Governor Fleming and Prof. Hod-
ges, both of whom are Democrats,
that they were in thorough accord
with me and agreed with them. We
met to perform our duty laid down by
the law, with no thought of any polit-
ical advantage that might begained by
either party. Had Ex-Governor Flem-
ing and Prof. Hodges been SO dispos-
ed, they were in the majority and
could have done as they pleased, and
| would have been at their mercy; but
they are not pot-house politicians.
Both are high minded gentlemen, and
| know that they acted Conscientious
ly in all they did | am not certain
what will be done in the future, but
am of the opinion that the matter will
rest until the next legislature. which,
let US hope and pray, will settle the
troublesome book question forever"

THE OLD HOME.

Near by shady lane
Stands the dear old home,
But its rooms are vacant,
Its windows dark and lone.
A solemn stiffness turks,
Within its dusty halls,
And the sunbeams struggle,
To light the fading walls.
With a fast-beating heart,
! gaze at each familiar spot,
AS fond memory paints,
Dear scenes | find not.
Sweet recollections of yore,
Fit through my brain,
Down deep in my heart,
Comes the echoing strain.
OF the glad happy days;
When fathers strong arm,
And a mothers loving care,
Shielded from every horn.
Just over yonder hill,
All tiaisied and green,
Under slabs of marble,
Their graves are seen.
May time fall gently.
On the dear old home,
While in. far away lands,
Miles | may roam.

FRIEND SMITH:-Seeiug nothing
from this part Of the county for
sometime, prepare few items for
your worthy paper.
We are glad to see that our county's
c ,pitoi is booming up in the way of
m lnufacturing establishments Every
factory that starts up in the county
means more employment for the la
boring man. 1t means better prices
for farm products. 1t means more
moley in circulation. and strengthens
the demand for protection. Would
that all our inland towns were stiniu-
lated by thriving industries of this
kind, instead Of being infected by the
foul odor of the accursed saloon What
this country needs is better opportu-
mites to make money and less oppor-
tunity to spend it for that which is
not bread, and we might add, less poll
tics and more Christianity. In fact.
this country needs baptism Of that
type Of Christianity that makes men
as good through the week as they are
on Sunday. A Christianity that
makes them as honest behind the
counter as they are at the sacramental
board. A Christianity that enables
US to think as much of our neighbor
as we do of ourselves. A Christianity
that does not levy tax on widows
and orphans. But a religion of this
type seems to have been long since
relegated to the land of oblivion .
We are sorry to note the death Of
William Smith, an confederate;
who died OH the 18th inst, at the
home of Mr.. George Helsley. on TIM
Der Ridge, Frederick County, Va:
Uncle Billie had been a citizen of this
part of the county for some time and
will be missed by all who knew him,
We subjoin the following to his mem
cry:
Avails it whether bare or shod,
Those feet the paths of duty trod;
If from the halls of ease they fed.
To seek affections humble stead;
If grandeur's guilty bride they spurned
And home to virtues cot returned,
Those feet with angels wing shall vie,
And reach the portals of the sky.

THE OTHER SIDE.

When things go wrong.
And our patience glide,
Calmly think a moment;
Look on the other side.
For there are two sides
TO each argument. true,
And there are two ways
Ones actions to view.
The bright side Of life
Is too oft turned down,
And the world sees only,
The other sides frown.
Then let us not repine,
When trouble comes along,
Keep ever bravely hoping,
With heart true and strong
For surely the bright side
Is clear to the mind
OF those who have faith
In God and mankind.
Oh, how much brighter,
The world would be,
If we didn't so plainly,
The faults of others see.

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away. and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as con.
sumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get enough
to eat, or they don't digest what they
do eat.

The man had taken his etand outsid.
Of the park gates and directly in the ap-
proach to the park and was doing a
hustling business. By his side stood his
capper who, after winning about $50
from the shell game man, pulled into
the game several sports. and one or two
men well known in Portland who
thought they had an easy thing. One
of these men lost $40 SO quickly that he
couldn't tell where.it had gone to and
was about to drop some more when
Sheriff Plumner elbowed his way
through the crowd and caught the shell
game man red handed and in the act OF
beating out another SUCKER of $40. He
was brought into Portland by the sheriff
and will probably appear before Judge
Robinson with his entire outfit this
morning.
