EROS AS A STUDENT.
The Love of boy for His Kind
SchOOlmrrm.


Good Ground, L. l., Feb. 25.-The strange
love affair of Joseph Squires and Miss E.
Maude Decker, one of the teachers in the
village school, is attracting great deal
of attention. Squires is seventeen years
old and Miss Decker is twenty-five, and
that is the chief reason why the young
mans father, Seymour l.. Squires, believes
that Miss Decker is responsible for the
fact that his son learned to love the pretty
schoolteacher. Mr.. Squires. therefore, has
preferred charges against Miss Decker and
there is to be a private hearing before
School Commissioner Howell Young
Sduires walked into the schoolhouse and
drank several ounces of Iaudanum. 1t
made him very sick, but he survived, hay-
ing taken too much to kill him. Miss
Decker said that il might seem strange,
but ii was nevertheless true that young
Squires had learned to love her. He had
asked her to become his wife, and when she
refused he was heartbroken. This expla-
nation satisfied the villagers, but the boys
father made an investigation of his own.
Within the next day or two the formal
charges were made.
1t seems. according TO Mr. Squires'
charges, that Miss Decker fancied her pu-
pill from the very first time she saw him
and she had not been teaching him many
days before she asked him to call at her
boarding place. Joseph told the parents
how kind the new teacher was to him
and how she had promised TO aid him in
his lessons if he would come around and
see her evenings. Joseph. Mr. Squres
says. called ct Miss Decker's boarding place
night after night. Finally Joseph became
so studious that lie did not get home un-
til late. and Mr.. Squires communicated
his suspicious TO an elderly man in the
| same boarding place with Miss Decker.
He bored holes in the partition and then
awaited developments. Joseph called and
the elderly man continued to keep his eye
glued TO the gimlet holes To a reporter
today he admitted that Miss Decker and
Joseph were not exceptionally studious
while he was peeping into the room. He
said he was ready to tell in detail all that
he saw when called as a witness next
Monday.

A Perfect Perfume.

This is just the time to gather sweet clover leaves and after partial drying to store them away with your linen. There is nothing more exquisite or more refined than the light, delicate fragrance of this abundant green. &c., lect the top shoots and break into small sprigs. You can't use too much of it, and while it is so light as to offend not the most fastidious, it will last a full year in the chests or drawers where your wearing apparel is kept. When partially dried, strew along be- tween the garments, taking care to shake it back when they are removed; 1; or, if you can't get such large quanti- ties, dry what you have perfectly and make into large, fiat sachets of thin silk or cheese cloth. You are sure to be delighted with the result. The very newest idea for pertaining ones clothes is to have the laundress boil either a piece of orris root or a small bag of pulverized orris root with the lingerie. Either of these will give the article faint fragrance as mysteri- ous as it is delightful.-N. Y. Times.

ROLLED ELM IN A BARREL.
LyncbinE by One Who suf- rere0 It.

There's something barbaric about lynching, as most people will agree.' said the man with the broken nose, "but l can easily name two worse things. One is rolling a man around in a barrel and the other is a coat of tar and feathers. In my foolish young days arrived at town in southern h. diana to find the people excited over several arrests for robbery. A family named Black, consisting of man and wife and grown-up son, had been caught and made to confess to many thefts. Instead of putting them on trial, the people had determined to ap- ply tar and feathers and walk 'em out of town. I had no objections so far as the men were concerned, but when it came to the woman 1 constituted myself her champion and declared that they must walk over my dead body first. For about five minutes l was a hero. Then about a dozen men grabbed me and hustled me into a room, and after the Blacks had been dispatched of ac- cording to programme, 1 was brought out for punishment. Plenty of tar and feathers were left, but the crowd want ed a change, and it was decided that I should have the barrel exercise. They got out and unheaded big cider bar rel, dropped me into it, and replaced the head, and then all was ready.
 "I was inclined to look upon the pro- ceedings with contempt. 1 had never been rolled in barrel, and so I had no idea of the sensations. They first kicked it along the wide unpaved street, and it had not rolled over more than 20 times when I was sick of my job. After they had enjoyed themselves for quarter of an hour I was praying for death to hurry up. dimly remem- Der that after they got tired of the foot barrel up n long hill, and then let it go kiting down. You talk of seasickness; but there is no comparison. Aside from the feeling of nausea, was jared, jolted and bruised from head to heels, and in one of the bumps had my nose broken. l was unconscious when they finally took me out, and for a week l WdS lflllc DCtlcT luiu uedu Iltn. II was weeks and weeks before l got the revolving motion out of my head and could walk straight, and to this day l can't see grindstone revolving with aut being affected by it. It would have been far more merciful to hang me up by the neck"
 "But about the tar and feathers ?" was asked.
 Well, met the old man Black about two years later, and he still smelled of the tar. He told me that it took 8 weeks work with soap and water to get the stuff started, and that spots were left which couldn't be got off, even when rubbed with brick. He didn't feel the degradation so much, but what hurt his feelings was that he had been obliged to put in more work on that tar than in all his life before. He had tried the barrel racket once, and he thought it shade worse than tar, but he had nc words of sympathy with me. On the contrary, he said if hadn't mixed in the three of them would probably have got off with ride on arail."-Chicago Inter Ocean.
