The Tenth regiment will be mustered
out as soon AS it will be possible to do
so, orders to that effect having been
issued by the war department. The
boys have had long siege of camp life,
and as there Is no fighting to do, they
are entitled to a chance to return to
their homes and again take up their
respective business vocations. They
were ready and willing to fight, and
are entitled to credit for their willing
ness to perform that duty had ii been
necessary.

to learn OF a single case having resulted
in pneumonia which shows conclu-

preventive of that dangerous disease.
IT will cure la grippe in less time than
any other treatment. 1t is pleasant

Malcolm Jennings, an advertising
agent of Columbus, was ordered COM
mitted TO Jail by Attorney General
Monnett because he refused to furnish
to the attorney list of papers to which
he was supposed to have furnished
articles for publication concerning the
prosecution proceedings against the
Standard oil company. Mr.. jennings
release was at once secured on habeas
corpus proceedings, thus saving him
any possible embarrassment. The At
torney seems to haye struck snag.
He seems to have a desire to throttle
the free press of the State, but will
probably learn before he flashes that
he is up against the real thing.

AS WELL AS 1.

[The Daughter OF the House Solioquizes
No, my mother does not look as well
as L,
For the days of her appearing we'll, are
by;
She can sew bit, and sweep bit, and
fry,
But she doesn't look we'll
When l entertain a swell,
In the parlor, and she happens to be
nigh.
She is good 70 meet alone
When the brilliant ones are flown,
When the world seems all in vain,
She can scothe away the pain,
She can kiss away the tear-drops if
cry:
But reluctantly | state
She Is not quite up to date
And is apt to set the functions all awry.
No, my mother cannot talk as we'll as L,
And we often wish she wouldn't even
try.
She can give the smartest joker his
reply,
But her nouns and verbs, you see,
Do not always quite agree;
And my guests are prone 10 laugh upon
the sly.
When we sit aud talk alone,
With her arms around me thrown,
And my head upon her breast
In delicious homemade rest,
No raconteur can moment with her
vie;
But she does not always know
When her words should stop or
flow;
And her stories OF the past are rather
dry.
No, my mother cannot sing as we'll as 1,
She is apt to pitch 1t low or pitch il
high;
And her methods all my masters rules
defy.
But the time seems very near
When she caroled Hush, my dear, .
AS in fancy mid the cradles depths
lie.
And fell asleep ere long,
Dreaming angels sang the song;
And the loveliest one was she
OF the hosts that guarded me;
And she often talks about it with sigh
But those baby-days are fled:
There are other songs ahead,
And have to catch the chances a,
they fly.
No, my mother is not near so strong as |
| She is nervous; and / often can espy, {
That her tears have not sufficient time
to dry.
She has griefs do not know,
AS the years relentless flow;
And as one by one her visions fade an,
die,
There is sadness in her heart,
That she keeps from me apart;
There are sorrows, many while
That she smothers with a smile;
When she weeps, cannot always as
her why.
And | fear-or guess-or know
myself will have to go
Through the same forlorn experience
by-and-by!
Will Carleton, in Every Wher

TOLEDO ADJUSTMENTS.
Valentine Theatre.

"The Golden Horseshoe" the new
spectacular play OF the Ltliputians,
with which they will come to the Val
entine, Toledo, on Monday and Tues
day, Feb. 81 and 2S, with Tuesday mat
inee, surpasses in gorgeousness and
brilliancy all former Liliputians pro-
ductions and gives an excellent oppor-
tuuity to Franz Ebert, Adolf link,
Miss Schader and all the other little
favorlte comedians to entertain the
audience at their best. The plot OF
"The Golden Horseshoe" deals with an
immense legacy which has been left by
a woman in Western town to midgets
less than three feet high. The wo-
mans brother, midget himself, is
con vinced that up to the date named in
the will no other small people will turn
up and is very disagreeably surprised
when all of sudden quite an aggrega-
ton of small folks appear to claim their
share in the inheritance. The key to
the treasure has been buried by the
sea. where it is discovered by the small
lest of the midgets. Numerous love
episodes and very comical situations
arising from side plots makes THE
Golden Horseshoe" the most interest
ing of all Liliputians plays. The witty
dialogue and catchy music alternate
with the spectacular features of the
production. The three grand ballets
represent Pink French Ball, a Musi-
cal Festival with the Liliputians as
famous leaders and composers, and a
Submarine Dance. The living war
pictures on the revolving stage with all
the little people as heroes of the late
war will appeal to the patriotic feeling
and call forth immense enthusiasm.
All the old tavorites are IN the cast.
The play has scored an immense hit
during its long run in New York and
other cities.

CARPENTER.
Petersburg. Va, Dec. 6 Judge Han
cock, sitting as judge of Chesterfield
Circuit Court, heard argument in the
cnse Of Carpenters exr. VS.. Carpenter
and others. This suit was brought to
construe the will OF the late Thomas G.
Carpenter, of that county. Mr.. Car
penter left about $4,000 worth of pro-
perty. Having no children most of the
property was given to his nearest rel
atiyes. Five thousand dollars was be-
'queathed to the American Christian
Convention Of Dayton, o., for the use
of home and foreign missions. One
thousand dollars was left to the same
convention as trustee for the Franklin
school OF North Carolina. The Ameri-
can Christian Convention claims to be
g. corporation with power to take the
beauests made to it. There is no school
in North Carolina known as the Frank
lin school, but there Is an institution In
that State called 1.-THE Franklin Chris
tan College," of Franklin county. N. c.,
which Is under the control of the Amer
lean Christian Convention, and Is the
only school In that State which Is un-
der the control of that convention. The
Franklin Christian College has filed Its
petition In this case praying to be made
a party, and that the $1,000 beQuest to
Franklin school, OF North Carolina, be
paid to it, claiming that It was the
evident intention of the testator to
make 1t the beneficiary.
The case was deliberately argued oral
ly and In writing.
Judge Hancock took the papers and
reserved his decision.

high wind was blowing. and before the

adjoining houses and were rapidly
eating up the entire row of buildings
lying east of the Garden, in the direc-
ton Of Rockets. 1t was bitterly cold
and the scene was indescrlble. The
fire spread so rapidly that the inmates
OF the house had barely time to escape
with their lives; no belongings were
saved They were all negroes, and pre-
scented pitiful spectacle, standing
clad only in their night clothing,
which was not much clothing at all,
watching their homes and chattels
burning up before their eyes.
1t was thought at first that the entire
town would go, but by daylight the de-
partment had succeeded In checking
the flames. AS it was, the dance hal
was completely consumed and the we'll
