the lesson review in his school.
He spends about five minutes in
explaining the lesson, and then
asks:
''Now, has anyone a question to
ask?''
Last Sunday he explained the
lesson as usual, dwelling at length
on its chief thoughts, and wound
up with the usual question:
"Now, has anyone a question to
ask?"
A member of the boys junior
class raised his hand.
"Well, what is your question:"
asked the superintendent.
"Please, sir, are we going to-
have a picnic this summer?'-

Rev. Cassius M. Roberts is one
OF the wittiest and jolliest of di-
vines, a man who believes that
smiling is part of Christians
duty, and who persists in looking
at the bright side of things. Need
less to say, he relishes joke, even
at his own expense. In years
agone he studied law and was adj
mitted to the Ross county bar, and
practiced for many years. It was
on recent visit here he fell in with
a number of his former comrades.
and naturally they fell to talking
over old times.
"Cassius," one of them asked at
last, chow did you ever come to
give up the law and enter the
ministry"
"Well, boys he answered, his
eyes twinkling, ''I'll tell you. You
know [ was mighty poor lawyer
and had hard work to get along.

finally l came to the conclusion
that it was a good deal easier to.

One Of the officials of the Ca

the following story:
A German from Pennsylvania
blew in the other day and asked
the officials if there was anything
about the place worth seeing.

The visitor was at once taken to

he stood few minutes looking
around.

last.

In "Old Times in West Tennes-
see" the author describes an anus
ing example of the administration
of justice in the early history of
Tennessee. Squire Thompson
was the first magistrate in Upton,
and the reader will see that he did
not allow offenders to go unpun-
ished.
"Joe' Seahorn, a quarrelsome
fellow, had a difficulty with a
which ended in blows.
The squire ordered the offending
parties arrested and brought before
him. Seahorn, the chief offender,
took to his heels when he saw the
officer approaching. Finding that
he would be overtaken he climbed
a tree like a squirrel and took re-
fuge in the topmost branches. The
officer commanded him to come
down. Seahorn defantly refused.
eff ye want me-" he called,
"come up here an get mel"
Thinking himself safe, he crowed
like defiant rooster on his perch.
The officer hesitated but a mo-
ment. "Fetch me an AK" he said
to bystander. The ak was soon
in his hand, and he began aiming
sturdy blows at the trunk. "Joe's"
bravado began to melt as the tree
cracked and showed signs of fall
ing.
''Hold on!" he cried, rather
weakly. "I'll come down.
"Hold on yourself" shouted the
officer. ''This trees coming down,
and you with i'll" saying which he
whacked away at the thinning
trunk.
Seahorn, thoroughly frightened,
began to climb down and struck
the ground just as the tree left the
stump. He was caught in a mo-
ment by the officer, and for safe
keeping was put under a cart
body weighted down with huge
log. There he spent the day
awaiting the squire's time for try
ing his case.-Youth's Companion.
Rev. Frank Gunsaulus at one
time believed that his parish work
would be made much easier for
him if he possessed a horse on
which to ride from place to place,
SO he determined to purchase one.
Now what Rev. Gunsaulus didn't
know about a horse would fill
large volume, and as might be ex-
pected. he fell into the hands of
the Philistines. He saw nothing
wrong with the horse, however.
He had told the man Of whom he
bought it that he was not used to
riding. and SO wanted a quiet ami
NAL, and in this respect, at least,
the horse fully came up to the re-
quirements. One day Rev. Mr..
Gunsaulus' father came to visit
him, and the horse was proudly
shown to him. Gunsaulus pere
looked the horse over carefully.
"Well, Frank" he said at last,
she isn't much on looks, is hep"
"No," answered Frank, "but
then, you know, father, the Savior
rode horse that was anything but
eyes, I've heard that" said the
old man refectively. Frank" he
suddenly, you've got a
treasure. I'll bet this is the same
horse. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Diamonds In Oaxaca.

Diamond mines have been discov- cred in the state of Oaxca. Henry Sickels and John Pulley, two miners of a great many years of experience arrived in the city several days ago with bottle filled with clear white stones which were gathered from the wash of river in that part of the country. The men are at present securing perfect titles to the territory which has been denounced after which the exact locations of the mines will be printed in the Two Republics.
 Mir. Sickels is Scotchman who has been engaged in the mining business. in nearly all of the Spanish American countries for the past twenty years. He has also had experience in the diamond mines of South Africa and hs says that the quality of the stones which have been found in Oaxaca are almost identical with the product of Kimberley. "The discovery was made in a very peculiar way con- tinued Mr. Sickles. "An old Indian who spends the greater part of his life on the outdoors in the mountains, vas attracted by the brilliant stones along the brook and related his find to me. but refused to reveal where the stones could be found. It was necessary to engage a spy and asso- clate with the Indian until the loca. tiou of the gems could be found. After this had been accomplished 1t was little trouble to trace the stones to their natural beds.
 "There is so much printed now days about planted diamond mines, continued Mir Sickles, that do not feel disposed to place an estimate on our property even If it were possible to do so. The property is not on the market, therefore it is immaterial, whether anything is printed or not.
 MT. Pulley and myself expect to leave within a few days for New York and London where we will or gaDize developing companies. Capital is in waiting and we have no favors to ask of anyone"
 MT. Pulley is prominent ctffee raiser of the isthmus and has been resident of that part of the country for several years. The gentlemen are both confident that they have found something which will startle the property owners of Oaxaca, and will open a field for new industry ID Mexico far more valuable than the remarkable output in gold. They have with them large number of diamonds in the rough and being un- able to find diamond cutter in the City of Mexico will be compelled to wait until they reach New York City before they will know just what the quality of the material which they have discovered.

A Ticket in the Field.

A petition was being circulated yes
terday to place ticket of somebody's
choosing in the field. Last night a
number OF political patriots assembled
at ,he court house, by special invitation,
and endorsed the ticket.
The ticket is not supposed to repres-
ent any political party, but the men
bers now OF the democratic or populist
parties.
There was some opposition to the
ticket as placed in the field. There were
two candidates for the nomination OF
city attorney and their friends we're
working for their respective nominations
James w. Bucklfn was placed on the
ticket which is to be put In the field by
petition. Samuel N Wheeler had
friends at the meeting who desired that
his name should be placed as the can
didate of the convention, il such it might
be called The friends Of Mr.. Bucklin
prevailed and his name is to go before
the people with the rest Of the candi-
dates by petition.
II is said that second ticket will be
placed in the field estensibly by the
same people which will bear the name of
Mr.. Wheeler for city attorney. There
will also be several changes on this tick
ct for aldermanic honors.
The tisket which is now in the field
ostensbly by the same people which
will bear the name OF Mr.. Wheeler for
city attorney. There will also be sew ,ral
changes on this ticket for aldermanic
honors
The ticket which is now In the field to
go before the people by petition will be
as follows.
Alderman first ward, John Dickerson;
Second ward, William H. Lee; Third
ward, Marcus Nj. Shores; Fourth ward,
George r. Barton.
For Street Blaisdell.
For City Marshal-John Allison.
For City Attorney-James H. Bucklin
For City Surveyor Charles Haskell
The other ticket which it is supposed
will be plac ed in the field by petition
will have substituted the names OF
Samuel N. Wheeler for city attorney;
Jack Bailey for Alderman in the Third
ward and J. j. O'Neil for alderman in
the Fourth ward.
