JACK HORNER.


For the benefit of those who are not
quite little folks Agnes Carr Sage, in
L%ippincott's Magazine, tells the origin
and history Of some famous nursery
stories and :hymes, among them THE
Pleasant History of Jack Horner. =" con-

very old c%haphook, carefully preserved
in the Budlcian library.
1t appears that this worthy was stew
ard to III abbot of Glastonbury. The
good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII had seen fit to be indignant
because the monks had built Il kitchen
which he could not burn down. Now, =
kings indignation was dangerous and
must be appoased. Therefore the abbot
sent his steward. Jack Horner, to pre-
sen the sovereign with assuitable peace
offering. 1t took the form of q big and
tempting locking pie, beneath the crust
of which the transfer deeds Of IL man
ors were hidden.
But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit of No. l., and on the road he
slyly lifted The crust and distracted the
deeds of the Manor of Wells. On his
return, bringing the deeds, no plausibly
explained that they had been given to

The Chinese place a Significance upon

wedding red obtains a deep rooted,

sweetheart a pair of bracelets fastened
together with q piece of red ribbon or
cord. The b.ide and bridegroom drain
two wine cups mt the wedding, which
are also connected by IA red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each hat has a red
feather stuck upright in it. The attend
ants also carry the wedding presents.
A sedan chair bears the bride herself.
In south China II sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
classes, and it is decorated with what
appears at first sight to be brilliant in
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingtisher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with

chair.
In the case of the poorer classes red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
q chair Of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed a bright red, is used. Above the door
Of the chair a kind Of charm is placard-

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR IN
DIGESTION,

AS Well as the Safest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead Of making a wornout stomach do
all the work, give 1t a much needed
rest, and a cure Of dyspepsia is the nat
ural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure is cer
tain to result because the digestive or
gans are given a chance to rest and
ecover. their natural vigor and tone.
The Tablets are then no longer reQuir-
ed.

remedy acts on different p~eopleandhow

Bonds of Officers.

There is nothing of more impOr-
tance than the question of the
bonds of our public officials. AT
present man is elected to any
office and makes up his bond from
the various property owners Ill the
county. We oppose this, for two
reasons. 1t places severe re-
sponsibility on the property owner,
without giving him any remunera'
tion therefor. Secondly, as rule
the bonds are not worth their face
value. The times when a bond
has been collected at face value
after there has been defalcation
are so very scarce that they are
the exception and not the rule.
How will you bond the officers
thens Let them get their bond
from some guarantee company who
do this kind of business. For a
small sum they will make the bond
and pay up every cent if there is
any shortage; and another good
thing, they will send the fellow to
the ''pen7 who steals. This is a
powerful "persuader and induce
ment to honesty" Had Treasurer
Hemingway had a bond in guar
antee company our State would
not have lost a cent.
Under the present system it is
an easy matter for an officer, when
he finds out he is going to be short
to inform his good friends Oh his
bond so they can dispose of their
property before the crash comes.
Some people say, "You can't do
this" Our answer to this is like
the COnstable's answer to the fel-
low he had put in Jail. The pris-
oner argued: You can't put me in
Jail for that" The Constable re.
piled: "You are in there all the
same" So, you may say that a
man on an officials bond can't
transfer his property. They do it
all the same. We believe people
and officials are just as honest now
as they ever were. These defalca-
tions do occur sometimes, and the
tax payers as rule are the losers,
and always will be under the pres
ent system of making bonds

WAR NEWS.

The most important war news OF
the last week is the ascertaining,
beyond all doubt, that the Spanish
feet, under Admiral Cervera, is
anchored in the harbor of Santiago.
Commodore Schley has been di-
rected to prevent its escape at all
hazards, and the latest intelligence
is that he has entered the har5or
and attacked the Spanish fleet and
forts. Another report says Ad.
miral Sampson is also at Santiago
and took part in the bombardment.
The reports of fight however,
lack confirmation.
a Spanish torpedo boat destroy
er is reported to have slipped out
of Santiago harbor Sunday night
and attempted to sink the Texas,
but was discovered by the watchful
American sailors and driven back.
Several small movements OF
troops toward Cuba have been
made, but it is now said the main
INVASION will be delayed until after
the rainy season, which has al
ready set in on that Island. Mean.
while the Americans will take and
occupy the PHILIPPINES and Porto
Rico.

Decides Against the I. I. 81 G,
Appropriation.

The Supreme Court Monday
affirmed the decision of Judge
Powell in the |. |. & &. mandamus
proceeding. The court holds that
the Governors attempted veto of a
part of the conditions of the bill
was null aud of no effect and that
the bill will become a law three
days after the next meeting Of the
Legislature, if not approved orve-
toed by the Governor before the
three days expire.
The Legislature does not meet
again until January, 1900, and
hence the appropriation cOntem-
plated by the bill will not be avail
able for present necessities. 1t
follows, therefore, under the de.
cision, that there are only two ways
to prevent the College being closed
for the next two years. One OF
these is for the Governor to call
the Legislature together in extra
session and approve this bill as soon
as it meets, or give it time to pass
another and approve that. The
other is for him to pledge that he
will approve the bill when the
Legislature meets in 1900, and that
the Board of Trustees will mean.
time comply with the conditions
prescribed by the Legislature in
the bill, and on the faith of this
pledge, borrow the necessary mon.
ey to carry on the school until the
appropriation is legally available.
Whether the College continues OF
closes all now depends on the Gov
ernor. For a capitalist to loan
money on the second plan suggest
ed, with all the contingencies liable
to arise, would be very much like
stalking it on cotton futures,
it is true, but it might be raised in
this way. 1t is an extra session,
the borrowing of money on this
contingent appropriation, or a
closed colege-one of the three
that is certain.
