in very precarious condition. Some
where along the road he was stricken
with apoplexy and when he got off the
train here no attention was paid to
him, as on account Of his actions, it
was thought he was under the in
tluence Of liquor.
He arrived in town about 2:30 Al. m,
remained in the waiting room at the

ing by the roadside, unconscious, a

thought, drunk. Placing him in their
buggy, he was brought TO town where
the man and his property were turned
over to Deputy Sheriff Haas, who had
him put to bed ut the Hotel Lind.
When taken up stairs ut the hotel
he seemed to be in semi-conscious

give an account Of himself and when
placed in bed seemed to sink into
heavy sleep. a short time after he

Fathers KneeIing Place.

The children were playing "hide the
handkerchief. sat and watched them
long while, and heard no unkind word
and saw scarcely rough movement
But af er awhile little Jack, whose turn
it was to hide the handkerchief went to
the opposite end of the room, and tried
to secrete it under the cushion of big
chair. Freddie walked Immediately over
to bin and said, in low gentle voice:
''Please Jack, don't hide the handker-
chief there; that is fathers kneeling
place"
Fathers kneeling placew 1t seemed
like sacred ground to me, as it did to lit
tie Freddie; and by and by when the
years rolled on, and this place shall see
the father no more forever, will not the
memory of this hallowed spot leave an
impression upon the young hearts that
time and change can never efface, and
remain as one of the most precious mem
cries of the old home. o, that there was
a fathers knelling place" in every fam
ily!-Exchange.

A List of Trusts.

Among the important documents
inserted in the Congressional Re-
cord by Democrats during the last
days of the session is one giving a
list of the trusts which have been
brought into being and fostered by
the tariff legislation of the Republi
can party. 1t Is stupendous ex
hibit, and the gigantic array of fix.
ures is enough 10 take the breath
away. These trusts represent in
their operations everything that
enters into the life of the people.
Nothing for which price can be de-
mauded, however Insignificant,
seems to have escaped. The result
as shown in figures which can
not successfully be assailed, ia an
advance in every commodity under
heaven, ranging from 10 to $50 per
cent. Increditable as it may seem,
there are nearly 500 of these institu-
tions, representing in the aggre gate
a capitalization of $4,000, 100000. A
very large number of these trusts
were organized under the laws of
New Jersey and New York. There
are some pretty steep ones in chi
cagO, Pbiladelphia aud Boston, a
few on the Pacific coast and very
few small ones in the South. -

Impure Stood Invites Disease
WHAT MIGHT BE DONE.

What might be done if men were wise
What glorious deeus, my suffering
brother,
Would they unite
In love and right,
And cease their scorn for one another?
Expressions heart might be imbued
With kindling drops of loving kind
ness,
And knowledge pour
From shore to shore
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together;
And wine and corn,
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in gilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect
In self-re.pect,
A I'D share the teeming world to-mor-
row.
What might be done? This might be
done,
And more than this, my suffer ing
brother
More than the tongue
Ever said or sung,
Ii men were wise and loved each other!

Well Said.

Never hurt any ones self-respe ct.
Never trample on any soul, though
it may be lying in the veriest mire,
for the last spark of self-respect is
its only hope, its only chance; the
last seed of new and better life; the
voice of G, d, which still whispers to
it, you are not what you ought to be +,
md YOU are not what YOU can be.
You are still Coos child, still an
immortal soul. You may rise vet
and conquer yet, and be man yet,
after the likeness of God who made
YOU, and Christ who died for you.
o, why crush that voice in any
neari? If you do, the poor creature
is lost. and lies where he or she
falls, and never tries to rise again .

Leather Strap Punishment.

A negro boy by the name of Ed Webb,
aged about ten years, has been causing
considerable trouble in South Columbia
recently by using offensive language to
women and children and stealing small
articles. He was caught recently by
the police, but, on account of his youth,
City Marshall jackson did not care to
prosecute him. The negro's father, Ed
Webb, was called in and told that if he
would give the boy sound whipping
the case would be dropped. The propo-
sition was agreed to, and leather strap
was produced, with which the father
administered punishment that young

IN MEMORIAM
Of William w. Dennis.

The following resolutions, in memory
of the late w. w. Dennis, were adopted
by the First Methodist Sunday school
last Sunday morning:
sin the sad, and to us the seeming
most untimely death of Brother William
w. Dennis, this sunday school and
he was help, an example and an honor
to us all. AS husband, he vas loyal,
tender and true; as father, he was
devoted, kind and gentle; as ID pupil
in this school, he was regular in attend
ance, studious and thoughtful; as an
officer in the church, he was faithful,
liberal, prompt and willing; as friend,
he was sympathetic and generous; as a
man, he was of strong integrity and
christian character; and as a christian,
he was conscientious and consistent,
deyout and prayerful.
Ellis was no fowery path through
life. His trials were many and his
temptations not few; but through his
unfaltering faith, and by the grace of
God, he came out conquerur in The end,
and our loss is his eternal gain. for his
reward is sure.
sand while we mourn his departure
and the early call that separates him
for time from us and from those he
loved 20 well, we rejoice in the hope of
sweet reunion in that bright and
Glorious Morn" where the lowly shall
be exalted and the humble are most
honored
Therefore, be it resolved, that in ex.
pressing our sorrow for his loss and our
sympathy for his loved ones, we remind
them that though poor in this worlds
goods, he leaves to them the priceless
heritage of q good name; that though oc
cupying an humb place in the walks
of men, he was exalted to h gh position
by his church, because of his erling
character and christian fidelity, and
that he so filled it as to be honored by
as all. And that even in this hour oil
sadness we can find pleasure in pointing
TO his little sons the example of theiI
father, as one they should be proud tC
emulate, and in whose footsteps they
may safely follow.
"Be it further resolved, that we ex
tend to his widow and his orphan chill
dren our BY mpathy, our love and chris
tian friendship, and give them cheer
and comfort, and bid them to remember
that the Father who noteth the spar
rows fall, and tempereth the wind to the
shorn lambs, will neither forget nor for
sake them, but will lead his trusting
children safely through this vale o.
tears, and lift the clouds at last anc
show them the glorious light of His love

tions be spread upon the minutes OF thil
Sunday school, and published in the
local press, and that the Secre tary sent
