The mood nnd the chIId.

Reproof or punishment should never
be given for the relief OF the feeling OF
authority, but always, and evidently,
for the good Of the disobedient. To
punish n child in anger cuts both ways,
and, unlike the twice blest droppings OF
mercy, Is doubly bad, cursing him that
gives and him that takes. Punishment
should be melted according 20 the ma
ture OF the offense, and not according
to the degree Of annoyance. Justice IS
not mercurial and explosive, or self
absorbed. It's business Is not 20 relieve
It's own tension. IL should be serene,
and certain. and quiet-eyed. Think
twice, and pray three times, before pun
lshing a child.-S. s. Times.

A Possible solution of the Outbreak

Problem Suggested by an Agent.
"Ahout eight years ago was In Kan

a man who has travelled hither and
thither in the west for 25 years. II re-
celved a message ordering me TO Fort
Reno. in the Oklahoma country. The
message informed me that there was
threatened uprising of the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes in that country.

and remembered that had never seen

the evening, and rode over TO the fort
as rapidly as an Oklahoma horse could
be driven. Col. Wade, son OF old Ben
Wade, was commander OF the fort. He
received me In his quarters in anything
but military makeup. When / ex-
planned my mission he laughed. He
talked TO me until late in the night, and
told me that II the white people would
attend to their business the Indian

he would furnish me with a horse and
a map, and that might ride over every
mile OF the country where he had juris-
diction, and II j behaved myself he
would guarantee more protection than

had letter TO Capt Lee, who was in
charge. He told me that there was no
danger of any uprising in that coun-
| try unless the stock of canned fruits

stay in the country.
al learned that the Indians had
worked up an unsatisfed appetite for
canned goods. They were content to
forego their chuck which is Indian for
beef, il they could get canned stuff,
Nearly every Indian on the reservation
had credit at the Indian stores. This
is not because they are so honest that
they want to pay, but there is no chance
for the storekeeper 90 lose. He turns In
his bill TO the agent, and the amount
is deducted from the next payment OF
land money TO the Indian by the gov
eminent.
"a few days before two young bucks
who had been students in well-knowT
Indian school In the east, entered one
of the stores and stole six cans of cher
ries. They were drunk and refused e
pay for the fruit. They galloped away
on horseback. They were pursued by
the storel0eeper and a half-breed, over
taken and thrashed. The canned goods
were recovered.

OF another uprising among the Chey
ennes and the Arapahoes. ! tell yot

The MIni.try OF sympathy.

A writer in the United Presbyterian
relates the following incident: There
are some natures SO constituted that
they must have love and sympathy.
They never have enough, and they MAKE
n large return for what is given. The
nobler the nature, the greater IS the
demand This is especially manifested
In the nearer relations OF life. John
Paul Richter was upheld by the mother
who entered into his every trial and
shared his Universities. The pastors
widow and her boy lived for ench other.
He sat by her wheel, and wrote wonder
full pages which the publishers contin-
ued TO reject. Four shillings n month
was all that mother earned, and when
his writings were rejected they wept
together over the fax she was spinning.
At last the tardy world knocked NJ the
lowly door. All he had written was
demanded by an eager public. Fame
came Just when the old hand was fail
ing and the spinning wheel was running
slow. mothers sympathy made him
great and sweetened his wit, while II
caused him 10 write In sober mood: I
love God and flowers and little chill

A Cute Prophet.

A man who had lost a leg. witnessing
some wonderful cures said 10 have been
performed by Mormon preachers, Joined
that sect in the hope OF getting healed.
The preachers referred him TO Young
as the only prophet among them cap
able OF treating such cases a. his. So Oft
TO Salt Lake City he went and presented
himself before Young. The Mormon
leader was equal 10 the emergency. He
assured the man he could cause another
limb to come in place Of the lost mem
Der, but called his attention to the fact
that he had but few years yet 20 live.
while there was an eternity beyond the
grave. "And IL now give you another
leg" said the prophet, "you will not
only have this one when you get 10
Heaven, but also the one which you
lost, so you will go through all eternity
on three legs" Mortified by such n pros
pect the man retired, satisfied TO get
through the remainder OF his years on
earth with the aid OF his crutches.-

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING.
Fifty Cases ofthe scourae Reported From
 Edwards To-day.

JAoLsoN, Sept. 1s-Governor Me Laurin has ordered out the cavalry light guard to protect the property of railroads in this county.
 It was learned that in addition to tearing up the tracks of the Alabama & Vicksburg railroad west of this city the crowds also burned trestle for the purpose of keeping trains out of Mer- ridian, having consented to allow trains to pass through, regular trains reached here at o'clock last evening. Although ordered to run twenty miles an hour the speed was not greater than four and actually stopped in the heart of the city. Indignation is at fever heat and the people say that :f neces- sary they will compel an observance of the quarantine regulations or will burn every bridge between here and vicksburg.
 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1S.-Three new cases of yellow fever developed to-day
  but the sick are doing well. Every preeaution is being taken to prevent the spread of the diseass and although there are plenty of volunteers for sani- tary officers the Board of Health is ex- ercising much care in selecting them, none but trained and acclimated nurses being allowed to attend the fever patients. Railroad traffic has dropped to little or nothing.
 EDwARDs, Sept. ls.-Thirty-nine cases of yellow fever were reported to- day. The rapid spread of the disease is remarkable. Several cases not yet passed upon by physicians will proba- ply swell the total to fifty.

THE BIG THINGS.
A Claim That Women Have Never
 Done Then.

A claim That Women Have Never
 Dene Them.
 Hundreds of college-bred women have been and are capable and efficiently en- gagged in teaching, and few have gained a certain distinction as presi- dents and professors in colleges for women, but no great and original edu- eator has come from among them. Oc- easionally a determined young gradu- ate gets foothold in a newspaper office, and usually keeps it, with credit to her self and her higher education, yet the few women editors of eminence have not been college bred. and there is noth- ing to be gained by ccncealing the fact that hecollege women who have under taken journalism seem, as yet, to have had 10 influence in sweetening the flood of sensational and nasty print for which the newspaper women of the country must bear their share of dis credit with the newspaper men.
 The number of collage women who have taken up medicine is considerable some of them, no doubt, from a real love of science and some for love of q career. While their work has been able and their success undoubted, it is just to say that they have not contributed originally to medical science. There are a few women collegians in law, in liter ature, in the pulpit and in other pro fessions, and their helpfulness and en- thusiasm have been especially notice able in educational and philanthropic works. In all these fields of usefulness the work of college women, "talzen by and large" has been good, honest, com petent work, about like that of the average industrious man; but it has been derivative, not creative; comple- mental, not brilliant: offering little op- portunity for sex celebration on the part of those enthusiasts who believe that women have needed only diploma and ballot to be brilliantly equipped for conquering all the world that men have left uneonquered -Scribner's.

 Comstock was turning out millions of silver. and California was pouring s60, ,00o,OoO of gold yearly into circula- tion, and our population was less than 50,O00, GOO, then we had good times, the best the government ever saw.
