Y now and mistletoe

Sing holly now and mistletoe.
And all resentment from your heart.
Sing the accessories which show,
And in this joyous day have part:
Sing help to him you fain would wrong,
And good to him you would deride:
Lift up your heart in joy and song
And sing the Christ back to your SIDE.

THIS COMES FROM RACINE.
How Fred Adams Made an Effort to Pump
the Water Out of Kenosha River

Kenosha is great town for sensa-
tions and general happenings. The
latest one is in regard to Fred Adams,
the dignifed but jolly court bailiff of
the United States district court for the
eastern district of Wisconsin. Fred
was at Kenosha enjoying. himself last
week. Some of the crew OF the propeller
|. M. Weston have brought suit against
the craft by libel to collect the amount
of wages for more or less extended
period. When the papers were served
on the parties in possession OF the pro-
peller Fred Adams was put in charge
of the craft as custodian. Fred does
not pretend to be much of sailor,
much less a steamboat expert, but he
was observant enough to discover that
the boat was leaking. He at once set
to work with hand pump to free the
boat from water. After working more
or less laboriously for two days he
observed that the depth of water in
the hold had increased to two and one
half feet, and concluded that if some
thing radical was not done soon the
vessel would soon be at the bottom of
the harbor.
Adams finally sought and found an
expert steamboat man, an engineer in
fact, who made az examination of the
boat and found that somebody had
opened two Of the seacocks, removing
the packing from the stufing box
around the propeller shaft, thus giving
splendid chance for the water in the
harbor to explore the inside of the
boats hull.
Adams thinks he pumped the water
of Kenosha harbor through the Weston
about three times.-Racine Journal.

THE LOST TRAVELLERS.

One night they sailed in unknown seas,
A low MOON glowering on their track
Along line OF blue black hills.
Then In q gray dawn's damps and chills
They reached the land Of the plunned trees
And never more came back.
They found an untried rivers mouth
And stole into it silently.
Huge hills rose wide on either hand.
Straight back through a strange wooded
land,
The dim stream sought the unknown south
AS far as eye could see.
South through a country in swoon
They sailed for many weary days.
Dim shapes rose sudden in the nights,
And dull flames fickered on the heights
Unnatural noises at high noon
Came booming through the haze.
Strange days came then. At times they lay
Like some huge painful beetle, pinned
Upon smooth and shining floor.
Then while they watched this mood was
Ger.
They saw their craft push on it's way,
Straight up against the wind.
And days and days, in mute despair,
They watched the great volcanoes burn,
Far south at the dim rivers source,
But yet they could not change their course.
Some unseen power in the thick air
Forbade them to return.
And no man since, on friendly seas,
Has seen in trades frequented track
Their sturdy craft veer to and fro,
For in gray dawn, years ago,
They reached the land of the plumed trees,
And nevermore came back.

Recalled to Duty.

One word to the purpose will
often turn the tide on the field of
battle.
At the affair of Friediand, Gen
eral Rapp became aware that one of
his regiments had been thrown into
disorder by the CALLING fire of the
enemy's artillery. He rushed at
once into the midst of the fugitives.
"Who are you2" he cried.
"The Seventy first regiment, an
swered voice.
"Whatl" exclaimed the general.
"The Seventy-frst regiment, and
you give away a single steps"
The suggestion of personal re-
sponsibility and of past achieve
ment was too much. The ranks
formed again on the instant, they
marched upon the guns by which
they had been assailed and in a few
minutes had possession of them. -

How . Caserpillar Defends Itself.


The caterpillar Of the puss moth,
quite common insect in this coun-
try, has most effective way of de-
Tending itself, and may prove, as
we shall presently see, dangerous
even to human beings. This we'll
protected caterpillar is provided be-
tween its head and forelegs with a
cleft, from which it can protrude
an organ capable of squirting out a
quantity of very acid fluid to con-
siderable distance, and when
alarmed it habitually makes use of
this formidable weapon.
In one of the chronological maya
zines correspondent states that he
was observing some of these cater
pillars in captivity when he hap
pened to disturb one, and it sudden
ly squirted out a quantity of fluid
in a jet, which struck one of his
eyeballs, though his head at the time
was quite two feet away from the
insect. He rushed off in great
agony to doctor, who told him
that the eyeball was in a very
dangerous condition. His eye was
totally blind for hours after the oc-
currence, and it was some days be-
fore he finally recovered. What the
effect of this fluid must be upon

as Time Killer.
A certain thriving young Main street
business man who has predisposition
toward free lunches stepped into his
favorite resort not long since and asked
for a quarters worth of cigars, at the
same time laying dollar on the bar.
The bartender accepted the money, re-
turned the rs cents and cigars and
went about his business. The young
business man, however, made haste
out of the place, and with beaming
face and mustache bristling with pleas
ure related to all his friends how nicely
he had beaten s. out Of Is cents
and three good cigars. s discov-
cred the fake before the day was far
spentand made bright plans for retail
alton. In the evening, when the bright
young man returned for a farewell
lunch he very carelessly suggested that
he would gamble any one in the store
for the last dollar he had in his pocket.
The bartender at once took him up,
while his brother volunteered his serv-
ices as stakeholder, putting the lead
dollar in his hand, together with the
silver one belonging to the young man.
The gambling was interrupted by busi-
ness before the question was decided,
and in consequence the free luncher
demanded his dollar. The stakeholder
very carefully gave him the lead one,
much to the fellows embarrassment, for
the job was understood by the large
number of gentlemen in the room at
the time.

Children Under 10.

Billy Gruber, of Cincinnati, was
many years ago Snowman, but for a
short time only. 1t was in st. Louis.
He and friend opened up tent show
to play "Uncle Tom," then all the
rage. The bill read, Admission, %
cents; children under 10, free, when
with their parents" The first party
to show up was a man and woman with
nine Children, ranging in years from Z
to 27. They would only buy two
tickets, as the bill said children under
10 were free, and they only had nine.
This was too much for Willie, and he
sold out to his partner, quite cheaply,
and quit.

TWO ITALIANS MURDERED.

Kingstree, s, c.. April is.-News reach
ed this place about midday that two white
men had been murdered last night about
four miles below Kingstree, on the line
of the Northeastern railroad. and their
bodies were found lying upon the ground
this morning Upon examination Il was
found that they had been shot and their
throats cut
The murders were committed very near
salter's depot, the next station below
Kingstree. and the shooting was heard
about O'Clock last night.
1t can scarcely be said that any clew
exists. or that suspicion rests on any one
in particular except three negroes, who
were lettering around Salters depot yes
terday and towards night disappeared
Some believe that they perpetrated this
awful deed The negroes are described
as being, one a large mulatto, and the
Others two small black men. No partic-
ular notice was taken of them, except that
they were travelling together and were
armed
The section master on the railroad. who
lives about two miles above Klngstree
says nc got up very early this morning
and saw two negroes going In trot to-
wards Florence. He thought strangely OF
the fast walking, but let them pass.

the men had naturalization papers on

No papers were found on the other.
Magistrate j. @. Lifrage, who resides at
Salters, acted as coroner and empanelled

and the investigation developed the above

Considerable excitement exists in the
