Tried 1t With Kittens,

A little lady of 3 who dwells in Park
Ridge has an ardent sympathy for SUI
perfiuous kittens-that is, kittens which
have to be drowned. Last week she
discovered six wee balls of fur in the
woodshed, and instantly the burning
question was, What shall we do with
them?''
Her mother and father advocated
the usual method of keeping one for
Katherine and drowning the others.
But little Katherine determined to
thwart their plans. She had heard q
story how a little baby was left in a
basket on n doorstep and how, with
the light of dawn. the kind old couple
took in the little founding and reared
II as their own child.
Katherine found in the cellar five lit
tie fruit baskets. Into each of these
she put a kitten, and then. waiting un-
til her mamma had lain down for her
afternoon nap, she laid a basket on
the doorstep of each of five houses
whose owners she regarded as charita,

The Advantage of One Eye.

During the Spanish-American war a
certain old colonel who had lost an eve
at the battle of Gettysburg was very
indignant because he was put aside as
physically incapacitated when he ap-
piled for admission to one of the New
York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin, the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview with
the president He succeeded in gain
ing an audience, and the president,
after listening to his plea, said kindly:
But, my good Colonel j., you have
only one eyer
"Just so. sir" was the prompt re-
joinder. but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye:
When | aim my gun, l shan't have to
close the other"'
He fought at Santiago.

He Wasn't Joking.

81 had four days growth of beard
on my face when l struck a little town
In northern Michigan" said the civil
engineer. Il found a little coop of a
barber shop near the depot, and l en-
tered it to discover the barber sitting
on a bench with his head in his hands
AS he reused up 1 told him to get to
work on me, but after looking me
over he replied:
"'If l shave you. you'll have to take
the chances
"'What chances?' | asked.
"'Well, I've been on a drunk for the
last week and am just on the point Of
seeing rats. l may get through with il
all right, and l may cut your head Off
'The man had a wild look and was
all a-tremble." continued the engineer.
land, though he smiled as he talked,
l saw that he wasn't joking. l went
away without getting shaved and for
the next two hours was busy making
purchases. AS l returned to the depot
looked in Oh the barber to see how he
got along and found him hanging dead.
Just what would have happened had
he started TO shave me l don't know
but I've always felt much obliged to
the man for putting the case as plain
ly as he did. d."-Baltimore Herald.

The Re.taurnnt Gla...

"Give me a glass of water. please"
The request was made to a waiter
behind the marble top lunch counter
OF a well known rest urant in the CEN
tral part of the city.
''All right. sir" was the walters re-
ply. 81 will just as soon as you put
your glass down"
The man looked first at the empty
glass he held in his hand and then at
the waiter. Then his choler began TO
rise at what he considered an unwar-
ranted piece of impertinence. The
waiter evidently saw the outbrust OF
wrath that was coming.
mo offense meant, SIR" he hastily
explained. you see. it's just this
way: The first thing a waiter learns,
and he learns it by dearly bought ex-
perience, too, Is never to take a glass
from another persons hand. Why?
Because If he does the chances are
about even that the glass will fall and
be smashed in the transfer. This is
particularly true if the top of the ia
BILE or counter happens to be of mar
BILE, as this one is. You probably un-
derstand that when a waiter breaks
anything in a hotel or restaurant he
has to pay for it. and you probably
now understand why it was that l
would fill your glass as soon as you put
1t down so that l could pick 1t up my
self. Inquirer.

OBITUARY..

Tohn R Chandler was born in Sc
vier Co. Tenn, Jan 20, 1S4S, and
died at his home in Blount near
Maryville, June 26, 1899, being at
the time of his death fifty-one years
five months and three days old. only
one brother surviving him. He pro-
fessed saving faith in Christ in boy
hood and joined the Methodist Church
in which he held official relations
much of the time. But what was
better he was esteemed as an exem-
plary christian by all who knew him.
However in the last few years of his
life he withdrew from that Church
and Joined the United Brothern in
Christ at Hodges Chapel Sewer Co.
where his membership was at the time
of his death.
He was twice married first to Sarah
Cassandra Bailey in Jan. II. 1878, of
which happy union four children were
the result of which three live to mourn
the loss of a loving father and mother.
In 1850 he was left alone in the werld,
with four small children, and eventu-
ally seeing the need of a companion,
to help him care for them, he was
fortunate in choosing and obtaining
Purlina Emert, in Sept. FL 1890 to
the task. Father, children and all
who knew her can attest that Purlina
has been a loving and faithful mother
to those who were in need, and we
extend to her our heartfelt sympathy
in her sad bereavement. We weep no
as those who have no hope, for while
we are sorrowing here, he is baskin{
in the sunlight of Gods eternal love
During his last sickness he was offer
heard praising the Lord for His good
ness and mercies to him. II. R. Pot
ter, E. P. Keegan.
