Moved the Wrong Family.

William Coping, the groceryman,
was hired to go to Eleanora one day
last week to move an Italians house
hold goods to Reynoldsville. 1t so
happened that two Italian families were
fitting from Eleanora the same day and
Mr.. Coping, who cannot talk italian
language, drove up to the wrong house.
This family had also engaged stranger
to move them to Adrian, and when Mr..
Coping drove up they supposed he was
the man to move their goods, and the
goods were loaded on his wagon and he
started for town. Sometime afterwards
the team that was to move the family
to Adrian drove into Eleanora for the
fitting, and then it was discovered that
Mr.. Coping had moved the wrong
family. The next morning our towns
man had to drive back to Eleanora with
the household goods. On his way back
he met the Ike to whom the goods be-
longed and the Ike was so glad to get
his goods that he paid Mr.. Coping
Sl.50 for hauling the goods to Reynolds
vile and back. Mr.. Coping on his
second trip, made sure he found the
Italian who wanted to move to Reynolds
willie

A Husband Perplexed.

A Rathmelite who loveth to sip from
the cup that intoxicates and who does
not bear the reputation of being the
best husband that treads this terrestrial
ball, thought he would test his wife's
love for him, and he informed her he
wanted to go and fight the Spaniards.
and asked her II she would give her
consent for him to go to war. Her
answer was: "Yes, for Gods sake, go"
Now the man is puzzled to know wheth-
er 1t is loyalty to the United States or
for some other reason that his wife is
anxious for him to go to war.

lived correctly according to his light,
who has no remorse, and who has been
an observer OF men and events, is some
thing Of an oracle. As our boys and

public, from which we get our statemen

in all the noble arts Of civilization, so
our old men are the links which connect
the future with the past A venerable
old man, whose knowledge and expert
ence has ripened into wisdom, who has
a rich fund Of "Reminiscences, who is gen

He is venerable and feels it, and it is a
great source of pleasure to him to be

light to an old man to visit the scenes
of his youth, to renew old acquaint-

NAVAL ENGINEERS.
Two Hundred Candidates Make APP
plicntion for the Four or Five
Vacancies That Exist.

There are more than 200 candi-
dates for the four or five vacancies in
the naval corps of engineers. A COM
petitive examination will be held in
the near future to fill these vacancies.
The position of engineer of the navy is
considered as most desirable. The stl-
airy is $4,000 year. All applicants for
these commissions must under the law
be between the ages of 25 and 35 years.
1t will be necessary to appoint sew
eral additional naval engineers before
long, for work on the four large docks
which are TO be built for the warships.
These appointments will not be tenn
porary, for it has been decided to in
crease the size of the corps. With the
proposed increase in the size of the
navy, a corresponding increase will
necessarily be made in both the staff
and line.

Sarsaparilla come from people in all

rich and purify the blood is recognized

strain, often need its vitalizing and
nerve-strengthening influence. Ex-

CT am busy man and have little time
for recreation, and find my system some-
times needs toning up. At such times /
