The ladies of the NJ. E. Church
are to be commended for the very
excellent entertainment given in the
Opera House last Friday evening.
The Passion Play is not only enter
tanning, but is affecting and instruct

We made flying trip Wednes-
day of last week, to LaurreIvllle and
had delightful visit. The town is
handsome, prosperous and rapidly
growing. We are under obligation to
all we met for courtesies, and hope to
60 again soon and stay longer and

MIR. and Mrs. Able Carpenter
entertained with dinner at their hospit-
able home, pleasant company of
| neighbors and friends. The Sentinel
regrets not being present, but thanks
are due all the same for the kind in
vitation to partake of dinner, such
as only Mrs. Carpenter knows so
we'll, how 10 prepare. But there is
another day coming and We hope to
be there.
Our farmer friend, Jim Hansen,
one of tue be st citizens of the county
and who made a noticeable display in
the Republican parade, which at
tracted everybody's attention, puts
the joke on the Sentinel. We are in
formed that Farmer Jim borrowed
the rig from a Democrt, and his pur
pose to parade, was to show the best
he could for the Democracy. We
throw up our hands. Jim is one ahead.
The Widow Brandt was "sur-
prised' last Saturday, by company
of about fifty neighbors and friends,
breaking into her corn field and husk-
ing about FIVE hundred bushels OF
corn. Squire Dan Lappen was lucky
to find red ear which he brought
home with him and will keep it for a
charm when he goes to the next husk'
ing and wants TO kiss the pretty
girl on forfeit for his find of the
red ear.

De.poti.m ver.u. Liberty.

Those acting for the state-those who
represent the public authority-do they
claim an inherent right to rule? Do
they exercise arbitrary power? II so,
the government is imperial. Are they
merely the agents Of the people. using
only expressed and delegated powers?
If so, the government is democracy.
The former is the European idea, the
latter the American idea Between
these two ideas there is an irrepressi-
BILE conflict The germ Of one Is des-
potism, Of the other liberty.
We are not the foes of TINT wealth
which comes ms the reward of hon
est toll and which Is enjoyed by
those who give to society something
in return for that which society be-
slows upon them. The Democratic
party today II not only not the cne-
my of honest wealth, but the Demo-
cratic party today Is the best friend

your questions. Yes, Laurel will
make a good gain. know six Re-
publican farmers who voted for Nc
Klnley who will vote for Bryan.
Two of them are old Soldiers. The
Farmers thank God for good crops
good health and good prices, and not
Mckinley. The trusts that make
everything high We have to buy, are
tie work of tn Republican party,
they, it is, who make what we farm
ers need, cost us nearly twice az
much as when Cleveland was Presi-
dent. The foreign countries make a
demand for our crops, and they bring
good price. Mckinley and his
Trusts don't make high prices for
what we have to sell. He does make
high what We have to buy. Laurel
will make big gam. A good many
Republicans have on their thinking
caps and they will vote for Bryan

will all be out for Bryan and Andy

of US left the old county to find peace.
We don't need any money in Marion

There is not much pol

have talked to will go to the election.
l don't know of a man who voted for
Bryan before who will not vote for
him now. l have heard of several
Republicans who will change, but of
that am not sure. l kncw that
every Democrat in my cornor will be
at the election. Cant you give us a
speech and warm the boys up, and
scare old Mark Hanna into the woods?
You can tell tell the boys that
Washington will lose nothing, and
most likely to make a gain.

kicked ON the storx

Probably most writer's of serial sto-
ries are familiar with the sensation OF
receiving letters of commendation OF
disapproval from interested readers
who are following up the stories as
they appear in their regular weekly OF
monthly installments. Occasionally
some curious person asks for private
information as to what the outcome is
to be. while others offer suggestions
as to the disposition to be made of the
villain or express a fear that the au.
thor is to marry the hero to the WRONG
woman.
The writer of serial story in one Of
the popular magazines few years ago
received the following letter from an
indignant reader. The names are
changed for obvious reasons:
Dear sr-I take the liberty of telling you that
regard your ''Simeon Stacy" now runnins
through The Blank Magazine, as little the thin.

cipal character in the story, to whom you Civ,
the title role, to speak, is so thoroughly de

tect1ve means in my power to show my contempt
for him by changing my name-which happened
to be the same as his-to something as unlike il
as possible. Yours truly, ANDREW JACOBSON,

comardice of Sharks.

Many tales have been tcld of how
tuman beings have been devoured by
the dsh that is known as the man
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated. they are to
a certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have bee-oo known to follow
ship for days, picking C.a anu vueing
that which had been thrown oTerpoarh
as waste.
Notwithstanding all this the coward
liness of sharks is well known among
men who have been much to sea in
southern waters. The hercest shark
will get out Of the way of swimmer
il the latter sets up noisy splashing.
A shark fears anything that splashes
in the water. Among the south sea is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone. but always in parties of half q
dozen or so, in order that they may
make a great hubbub In the water and
thus frighten away the sharks. Once
in awhile too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and forgets to
keep up his splashing. Then there is a
swish, and the man eater comes up
from under him like a flash, and he IL
gone.

Soon after the conscript law was
passed by the Confederate congress
Captain Slack was appointed enrolling
officer for the parish of Claiborne, with
orders to have its provisions duly exc
cuted. His manner of execution was
the reverse of that suggested by his
name and created a lively sensation

after his arrival my sister had occasion

soon missed his familiar presence. and
the following conversation occurred:

what .eYours Sincerely" Means.


Perhaps the jerry builders of London
who construct ceilings part of which
tumble into ones soup and floors
which Unexpectedly drop into the eel
lar would not be so glib to subscribe
themselves yours sincerely" if they
knew the origin of the phrase. The
Stone Trades Journal, waxing classic
and Vitruviuslike, gives the source of
the thing. which to students is old. but
which may be new to the gentry who
profess to provide shelter for a great
part of the community:
"The extent to which marble is en-
tering into the decoration of modern
buildings is but repetition of the his
tory of Roman architecture. The fact
is that the old Roman jerry builders
used defective slabs of marble in erect
ing residences to sell at reduced rates
and covered up the defects with ce-
ment of which white wax formed the
chief ingredient. They looked just as
stately as the others till an exception
ally hot sun melted the wax and re-
vealed the fraud; hence a perfect build
ing was said to be sine cera' or with
out wax and a friendship perfected
by the trial of adversely was said to
be without wax The signature sine
cera,' as a symbol of genuine affection
and probity, has been used ever since
and is perpetuated in the English word
sincerity"

The Vanity nf Men

Vanity. vanity, all is vanityr saith
the preacher. Which is usually inter-
rreted to mean, "All women are vani-
ty." In point of fact, the observant
are agreed that there is no sex in vani-
ty, more than in mind. An elevator at
tc-Gant not long ago glanced disgust
edl5 at man who during long trip
rp ten or more stories occupied the en-
t;r" time at the mirror. He curled the
fnds Of his mustache, arranged his tie,
fdiustod his hat at more becoming
Ensie and was altogether so absorbed
lat he was carried beyond his destina-
lien and had to walk down a fight of
tairs.
Said the elevator man to woman In
TIE car: They say that woman can't
go by looking glass without looking
at herself, but as far as l can see she
amt in 1t with the men. A woman
never gets a chance to look in that
glass, for the men keep it busy all the
time"
The man who carries tiny comb or
brush in his pocket for use in public
places is by no means exceptional. he
may be seen on the cable cars, the al p
and in elevators brushing his mustache
and eyebrows with as much care as q
woman could give to the arrangement
of her curly front locks blown into dis
order by the wind. OF course neatness
is commendable, but there is always a
touch of the ludicrous in a mans tax
ing the little case from his pocket, ex-
tracing the comb and coaxing his hir-
suite adornments into more becoming

Suddenly it was seen that the brute

the big cat edged itself between the
thoroughly unnerved man and the door
of the den, fixing its victim with two
rolling yellow orbs of flaming ferocity
and saving the empty air with its tuft-

springing.

Of mind to avert the apparently inevi.

he were going to whistle. he emitted a
horse, low, rasping hiss.
The beast heard and understood, for
the sound was an exact imitation OF
the noise made by the giant constructor
when its huge body is coiled for the
throw that never misses. that never re-
lakes and that no beast Of the field is
strong enough to Withstand. Again
and yet again the raucous sound rasp'

A French explorer has discovered
the vainest people in the world. By a
curious coincidence they happen to be
alsn- the highest. They are the Pa
bouins, a savage tribe of the western
coast Of Africa. The main occupation
OF these people is the adornmept of
their persons. As the Pahouin's cloth

lncommode him he bestows a good
share of his thought upon the adorn-

by tattooing in relief by injecting uti-
derneatb the skin the juice off plant

Sometimes the face and body are also
tinted with dye, red being the color
most in demand.
The same methods are used In adorn-
Ing the face, especial attention being
given to the nose. Many of the Pa

noses pierce them with long, slender
bones. Others after piercing the nose
attach to 1t string Of colored pearls.
Both men and women concentrate
their efforts on their hair. Their inge-
nuity, which is shown in the construc-
ton Of scores of different headdresses
Of bone and metal for the men of the

In far greater degree by the coiffures
