his wheel at a good gait. On the return

Ito Cut Stick"

This expression had its birth IN the
days when people relied more on their
legs as means of locomotion than they
do nowadays.
When q man started to foot 1t from
one town to another, he usually cut
stick or sapling to help him along on
his journey.
This habit was particularly common
in Ireland and it is more than probable
that the expression found birth in that
country. About the year 1920 song re-
lating the adventures of an 1rishman
was very popular in Glasgow. 1t began:
"Oh, creished my brogues and cut
my stick"
The phrase took hold Of the American
mind in the days Of slavery.
A runaway black would generally cut
a stick to help him on his travel to pos
sible liberty, and the advertisements
concerning runaway slaves were nearly
always headed with q crude woodcut OF
q negro with stick and bundle over
his shoulder. New York World.

THE BACHELORS DEN.
Elberton Young Men Who Have Resolved
to Live All to Themselves.

A bachelors den has been establish
the handsome new Baptist church is
situated small and unprepossessing
little cottage, but cottage now ia
nous as being the domicile of the bach
elors' den.
Some weeks ago Messrs. j. j. War
rem, Jake Silverman, Ed Ramsey, En-
Edwards, Richard Fortson, Seymore
Smith. Lon and Clip Glenn decided that
they were tired of boarding house ETH
quote aud its followings and determin
ed to 1.-Two all to themselves do their
own cooking and homework and ask no
woman any odds. So they have organic
ed and Mr. J. j. Warren, one of Elber-
tons handsome and most flourishing
Young merchants, was elected president
Of the den, with the duties of buying
the provisions, having them cooked ans
10 see that each member cleans up hia
own room, and rented this little cottage
in the rear of the church.
MIR. Warren, the president of the den,
when seen recently by a representative
he had no hesitancy in stating that the
den was doing finely, and that the in
mates were we'll pleased. He said that
now board costs them little less than
an average of SO per month, whereas
boarding they paid about $40, and every
thing cheap in the way of provisions.
"We decided" said he, THAT if the
boarding house keepers could make so
much we might save it, and so organic
ed the den, and so far we are well
pleased. You may state to the public,
however, and to the ladies incidentally,
that we are not in the den to get away
from their charms, for we all love the
girls and would be glad to have them
take care of u.s. You may say also that
we are all very handsome and think we
could and would make good husbands.
Tell all the ladies who want husband
TO apply at once to me, as chairman OF
the den. aud can furnish them at half
price"
Mr.. Warren stated further that the
boys did all their work and kept one or
two servants, and that the house was
kept as we'll as any woman could keep
it. These young men are worthy and
high toned, and their new venture is
watched with interest by the public.
Many interesting stories are afioat about
them, but they appear to be unruffied
and greatly pleased with the life in the

One Can Always Give Himself.

One of the pleasantest of day dreams
is to imagine how charitable you would
be if you had plenty of money. The role
of bountiful master or mistress is
delightful one, and it is easy to imagine
how, ii you had command of for
tune you would make people happy
and with what grace you would receive
their gratitude. OF Course few persons
can venture to indulge the hope that
they will be rich, but while we are
dreaming these dreams it is we'll enough
to think whether we are showing our
selves charitable in the use of what is
really within our command. Take, for
instance, ones thoughts. 1t is natural
enough to put a hard and bitter con-
struction upon the actions of others.
Possibly, from superficial point OF
view, their conduct warrants 1T. But a
thoroughly charitable person-one who
would use money beneficently If he had
twill certainly make allowances for
others and only reluctantly come to the
severe Judgment. 1t is mistake also
to suppose that money can do every
thing. There are good many persons
who would not if you were as rich as
Barnato take penny from you. They
do not want-your money, even though
they are not rich themselves, but they
would prize ccnsiderateness, sympathy
and fellowship. If we withhold these
things that are surely within our pow
er, probably we should not 10 so very
generous if we had rlenty of ncney.-

ELECTRICAL SPANKING.
Novel Device to BE Employed In . Girls
Industrial School.

Warden Q. p. Hoyt of Denver has de-
signed a spanking chair for use in the
Industrial School For Girls. 1t consists
of q seatless chair On which the girls
are placed. 1t is high enough from the
ground to allow four paddles to be oper-
ated by electric wires. Straps hold the
victims wrists to the arms of the chair.
At the Girls Industrial school of
Kansas, situated at Beloit, they have
what is called spanking chair. Bad
girls are strapped in chair, and an at
tendant presses the button and the chair
does the rest. The Kansas authorities
will be asked to explain the system,
and if it is satisfactory to the local au-
thorities a spanking chair will be pur-
chased for the Colorado institution. -

ELECTIONS IN MAssA cHUsETTs.
Lowell Votes for No License Great
 Falling Of In Xnfe

Boston, Dec. 13.-With the exception of North Adams, the balance of the cities in Massachusetts, fifteen in num- Der, held municipal elections to-day and voted on the license question. There was, however, no mayoralty contest in this city. The feature in cities outside of Boston was the great falling off in the vote for license. Lowell, which for nine years, has supported the saloon, changed over to the no license column, although electing democratic mayor. Owing to an unprecedented number of candidates in this city the result of the election and the standing of the board of aldermen and common council is not definitely learned, although it was known that the city had again voted for license and that the democrats had elected their two candidates for the new board of apportionment as well as the street commissioner
