white church Oh the corner of Tex
as and Fannin street, the time the
Sunday school hour. Soon the
exercises were in progress and
among those most earnestly enga-
ged in teaching of The Way, the
Truth and the Life, was Mrs Wal
tiers, and one of her pupils the
writer. A splendid teacher was
this pure, christian woman, and
to-day there are men, no doubt
they are legion, whose reverence
for God, whose discipleship of the
Master is in a large measure due
to the fact that in their youth OF
young manhood they sat at this
sweet woman's feet and from her
lips heard the precious old story
of "the Lamb of God which tax
eth away the sin Of the world.'
Were charmed with her manner of
telling of the resurrected Christ
and how this act supernal took
from Death his sting, wrested
from the grave it's victory over
those who live and die in the L ord.

Once in awhile, says the Kansas City
Journal, one of the slaves and serfs gets
his knife into the railroad octopus and
churns it up and down at frightful rate.
A Union Pacific locomotive set fire to a
field of wheat in Russell county recently,
and 150 acres of it was burned, while ten
acres remained standing. The claim
agent for the railroad agreed with the
farmer that the ten acres should be cut
and threshed, and that the railroad
would pay for the burned grain just in
proportion to the yield from the unburned
portion. 1t happened that the ten acres
left standing contained the cream of the
crop, and it threshed out thirty three
bushels to the acre, while it is estimated
that the whole field would not have aver
aged more than fifteen bushels. The
railroad stood by its agreement, and the
farmer realized more than twice the
value of his crop. The claim agent says
that until the settlement had been made
all the farmers in the neighborhoOd
swUre that the ten.acre patch was not as
good as the 15O acres burned, and then
they went to growing over the manner
in which the railroad had been cinched.

California has passed new tramp and
road law. 1t divides the State into road
districts to be in charge of supervisors.
And adult person upon showing to the
supervisor that he is homeless and with
ont means of support and in immediate
need of food, clothing and lodging, shall
be employed on the county farm or on
roads, and shall be supplied with three
meals day and lodging, andin adddi-
ton shall receive IS cents a day Of nine
hours for his services. If one refuses to
work when work in offered him he is to
be arrested as vagrant and sentenced
to ninty days work on the highway with.
ont compensation except sustenance.
The first class is at liberty to quit any
time, but the latter must serve the time
named or on a proper showing they may
be transferred to the other class and be
paid and have a similar right
to quit.

The Newspaper Law.

l. All subscribers who do not give ex
press notice to the contrary are considered
wishing to continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discOn-
tinuance of their periodical the publisher
may cOntinne to send it until all arrear-
ages are paid.
8. If subscribers refuse or neglect to
take their periodicals from the Office TO
which they are directed, they are respOn-
sible until they settle their bills and Or
der them discontinued.
4. Subscribers moving to other places
without informing the publisher, and the
papers are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Office,
or removing and leaving them nncalled
for, is prima facie evidence Of intended
fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of the
time that they do not wish to continue
taking it, and the subscriber will be re-
spOnsible until an express notice with all
arrearages are sent to the Publisher
z. The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest anyone
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it.
Under tn. law the man who allows his
subscription to run along some time un-
paid, and then orders the postmaster to
mark it ''refused'' and haye a postal
card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine, the
same as for theft.

The RaZOr.back.

The razor back is breed of hogs rails
ed in the South, before the war, and
still to be found in some localities" says
an exchange. HE is built on the Swiss
cottage style of architecture. His ears
lay back with devil maycare air. His
tail has no curl, but hangs limp rs dish
rag. The highest point of his corrugated
back is ten inches above the root of his
tail. He ignores the slow, stately walk
Of the Berkshire and goes in lively 2:1O
trOt. He always travels as Ii he Was try.
ing to catch train which had Just
whistled for the station and he had
quarter of a mile to make to get there.
The thorough bred razor back prowls
around in the woods, living on acorns,
nuts and roots. and if necessary can climb
a tree like monkey. Occasionally he
crawls under gate and assists in har-
vesiing his owners corn crop, and if he
has any time to spare from his owners
crop lie will turn in and assist his neigh
Dor. often working at night rather than
see the crop spoil for want Of attention.
He never knew the luxury of sty. He
wouldn't get fat if he could, and is only
tit to kill on the day Of eternity. Cross
ing the razor-back with the blne-blood
stock makes no improvement. The only
successful way is to cross him with q
locomotive going thirty miles an hour.
He then becomes an imported thorough
bred and the railroad company pays for
him at the rate Of 80 cents q pound.
The ham of q razor-back is almost
as juicy as the ham of an iron fire-dog,
but not quite as good eating as sas-
safras bark. A man who is authority on
razor backs says the razar-back is the
only bird of prey that is amphibious in
its habits and can lift gait OF its him
ges without ruffling feather.''
