A Logical Suggestion.

The venerable R. L. Dabney, D. D., is
well known in this country and abroad,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Upward of
twenty years ago his youngest son, Lewis,
was a sharp-witted lad who promised to
become a respected Chip of the old
block"
The lad was whipped one day for an act
of disobedience, and then had to undergo
the more trying ordeal of sitting quietly
on the sofa. He became deeply absorbed
in thought and presently asked:
Ma, why did you whip me?"
80 as to make you a better boy" was
the response.
Lewis again became lost in thoughtful
reflection. Presently he blurted out:
Ma, do you believe in prayer?"
Eyes, my son."
IF you were to ask God to make me a
better boy do you think he would grant
your prayer?"
81 think he would, son.
"Well, then, ma, I wish you would pray
a little more and whip a little less"

Alas. Poor bishop!

< well known bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church while on a summers
outing, went fishing with a friend, and in
accordance with an unwritten law of sum
mer fishermen, the provisions included bev-
erages exceeding WAFER in specific grav-
ity, says the New York Commercial-Ad-
vertiser. In fact, the bishop in his fulness
of heart had bought a bottle of wine of
ancient vintage. He was very proud of mis-
purchase and guarded it jealousy When
the time came for lunch he brought il
out carefully and placed it in the stern of
the little boat The fishing had been poor
and he turned to his friend and said:
Look here, I'll try another cast, just
for luck, before we open this"
But the cast proved most unlucky for
the the bishop, for the line caught around
the neck of the precious bottle and jerked
it overheard. The bishop, without saying
a word, watched the little bubbles as they
assembled through the water, then, with a
sad look and in broken voice, he said to
his friend:
win you please do the honors for this
occas sion? 1 can't, for, unfortunately, 1
am a bishop"

wanted to Be a thermometer.

A few days ago. says the Topeka CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Journal, a
resolution was adopted by the House, in
structing the sergeant-at-arms to get four
thermometers, so as to keep the room at
the proper temperature. A Fort Scott ne
gro who had come up to get a Job, but
had failed TO land, was in the gallery at
the time. No sooner had the vote been
declared than he rushed downstairs, SHOW
ed the doorkeepers aside, and hurriedly
made for the seat of Representative Camp
bell OF Bourbon.
Now is youse time. Mr.. Campbell; now
is you'se time! Jest send in my name an
you can land me-" he shouted in a tone
that interrupted the proceedings of the
House.
Send in your name for what?" asked
Campbell in embarrassment

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY MARCH is. 1892

A bill which recently failed before the
Illinois Legislature provided that in trials
before the criminal courts there should
be provided one or two supernumerary
jurymen, who should sit with the regular
jury and hear all of the testimony and
arguments, but should not participate in
the finding of a verdict except in the
event of the disqualification of one of the
regular jurymen. Had such law been
in force in this state yesterday the peo-
pie would have been saved the expense
OF a retrial of the Haupt case. When Ju-
ror Griffith was excused, a supernumerary
would have taken his place at once, and
the case would have gone on to compile
ton. The extra expense which will be
involved in a new trial of the case would
probably pay for supernumerary jurymen
for whole term of court, and possibly for
a year.

The old Libby prison. which was re-
moved from Richmond to Chicago at the
time of the exposition, is to be torn down
to make room for a big new building.
The old building has been used of late
years as a museum for relics of the war
of secession. The relics will probably be
sent to Washington.

1t seems likely that politics will be in
jected into the Adams poisoning case in
New York. Some of the partisans are
taking sides for and against the methods
which the new district attorney, a Tam
many man, has been using in the prosecu-
ton of young Molineux, and il has been
suggested that legislation be passed
amending the code of criminal procedure
along lines brought out in the case as far
as il has gone. 1t would be a pity if
politics should be dragged into the case.
1: seems that there ought 90 be law enough
present in New York TO do justice to
both the people and the defendant in the
case.

the gamiest bettors and one of the best

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd1 says:
The desiresof the people in Fort WrangeI.
Alaska, to be set off from the United
States to Canada, in order to get decent
government seems natural enough when
we learn what sort of officials the WASH
ington authorities have been sending there.
GOV. Brady of Alaska is authority for the
statement that there are sixty men in
whose hands is the government of the ter
ritory; that they have no interests i'm
Alaska except to grab whatever they can
and get away" that they are like lot
of hungry codfsh:' and that seven of
these officials, II per cent. of the entire
government, are now under indictment for
malfeasance in office"
The Philadelphia Press CRep) never did
like Democrat, but il thinks there are
some Republicans worse than a Democrat
could be. Speaking of the Addleks matter
in Delaware, the Press says: Probably
in two years more the legislature will be
again Democratic and will elect a Demo-
crat to the Senate, but better so than that
the Republicans should be responsible for
the election of Addicks who represents
nothing but money and the INSCRIPTIONS
use of it, and whose election would bring
reproach and dscredit to the party and
to the state responsible for imposing such
a man on the United States Senate"
The Columbia (S c. State (Dem) says:
"Why all this fuss is made about a ship
ment of 100000 to Cuba--a guard of fifty
men on the steamer bearing the specie and
a warshp accompanying it's hard to I'M
derstand except on the theory that the
government wants to advertise its liber-
atty as much as possible. Shipments of
larger sums are constantly made across
the ocean without guards or conveys"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
I'm response to an enthusiastic admirer
Col William J. Bryan makes two very
sensible remarks He says that he never
advocated government ownership of the
railroads. and that 1900 is too far off for
us TO determine who viii be most available
at that time for President"

Mcdonald came to earn her living wine was
really the only thing she could count on.
Through a New York merchant she re-
ceivod her first job. 1t was to stock the

sufficiently familiar with wine to act for
themselves. Now she has a regular client

Asch earns good living. Her home is also
near Aiken, and her work began by the sale
OF pet dog. One of the favorite amuse-
ments of the winter visitors to Aiken is
rabbit coursing, and the best dog for the
purpose is the beagle. AS both the game and
the dogs are small, the hunters, men and
women, follow on foot and as a rule end
their chase by breakfast or luncheon at
some picturesque spot in the woods.
1t was to one of these hunters that Miss
Asch sold her first dog, and the price paid
was $35. She at once saw an opening had
kennels built and invested her little capital
in dogs to breed from. Now she has thriv-
ing business, which not only pays WELL but
is both healthful and pleasant, since she
is fond of dogs and out-of-door exercise.
Another southern woman, Miss Ida
Norrell, near Augusta, Ga, is earning a fair

The cape jasmine as every one who has
visited the south knows, is easily grown, and
blossoms in the greatest profusion. Miss
Norrell, therefore, has no difficulty in get
ting all the flowers she can use. The result
of her distilling is a delicious perfume, but
she claims that at present the supply equals
the demand, and it is unnecessary to publish
her formula.

FIVE NEW CAII.INGs.
Some of the Latest Avocntions En-
tered Upon by Women.

tered Upon by Women.
One of the latest of unusual avocations
entered upon by a woman is the raising and
training Cf native song birds Miss Louise
Cheatam lives near the popular winter re-
sort of Aiken, S. c., and the idea was sug-
gested by the sale of a pet mocking bird.
This bird came to her through a negro boy
whom she caught robbing the parent nest.
The tedgling was the weakllng of the flock,
and for that reason the boy considered it
worthless and left it on the ground to die.
Miss Cheatam rescued and raised it, intend
ing to free the little captive when it could
care for itself
But that time never came. for no pet is
more helpless than a mocking bird reared
in captivity.
The second winter of the birds life it was
purchased by northern visitor to Aiken,
who, CHANGING to pass the house, heard 1t
singing. This sale gave the young woman
an idea which she was not slow to follow
ana now she does a thriving business with
native song birds of the south Miss Chea-
tam does not attempt to hatch them herself,
but watching her chance, goes boldly to the
spot where the parent birds have made their
homes and lifts the nests, with their young
broods, off. This is the best and most hu-
name method, especially with the mocking
birds for if a human hand once enters their
nest the parent bird will kill every remain
ing fledgling, and according to Miss Cheatam
her greatest enemies are these same parent
birds, for they try in every way to poison
bird which they find Gagged.
Beagle raising is the means by which Miss
