Bought the Jail.

John H. Buckley. the new jailer who
will take charge of the Wood County all
on the first OF the year, paid Sheriff Elect
Dudley $1,000 for the privilege of assum-
ing complete control of that institution
for the next four years. Jaler Buckley
will pay all the expenses OF the establish
ment and will be entitled to all the re-
ceipts. official and otherwise.
This practice OF farming out the jail
is no new thing in Wood county, and had
its origin in peculiar custom which has
obtained there for many years. The jail
is a roomy building, and by right OF long
established precendent its keeper IS per-
mitted to conduct it on hall prison and
half tavern basis, He is generally a
countryman, with numberless friends
from the rural districts, who patronize his
establishment in preference 10 the regular
hostelres, aud during sessions Of court
and other "big days" in town the jail is
crowded W tn throngs of willing as wei
as unwilling guests. Should Jailer Buck
ley succeed in combining the roles Of
Boniiace and Cerberus as probably as
have his predecessors he will md his pur
chase of the Wood County Jail a lucrative
investment.

Senator Wanted to Visit the Cook.

Representative Jones, of Virginia, tells this story on his father: Direct ly after the war Jones senior was sent to the state senate. An old slave who had belonged to him was also elected to the senate. The two drew adjoining seats. Senator Jones was very cour- teous, and in addressing his former slave always called him senator. The old negro stood it for some time and finally said: 'Massa William. don't like dis senator business. Kain't come down to yo' house and visit that cook of yourn? l suhtinly would like per mission to visit yo kitchen The re- quest was granted, and while Senator Jones was in his library the other sem ator was down in the kitchen visiting the cook."-Troy Times.

A BIT OF CHEER.

Perchance you feel like signing, deas, Just check the sigh and smile; And cheer some waywOrn wanderer Ger many a weary mile. kindly word. a loving smile.
 Great blessings doth bestow; The power have they to charm away, A heavy load of woe. Alas! the many aching hearts,
 Along the circling years. Though there be dearth of all things else Is never dearth of tears. Then put aside thy griefs, dear heart. Nor grudge smile to dole: Twill cheer thine own sad lot. and bless As well thy neighbours soul. For there was One whose spirit oft Was wrapped. methinks. in gloom. Before Him rose dark Calvary's cross. The agony of the tomb. And still He ever strove to cheer
 The wayworn pilgrim lone: Jesus! Imperial Prince of Peace,
 From Heavens eternal throne! 'Tis not the costly gift bestowed
 That cheers the aching heart. It is the kindly sympathy.
 It Is loves magic art. And blessed shall thy memory be. Though naught thou hast to give But kindly words and loving smiles: And lO thy soul shall live. -Ingar Ingram, in Minneapolis House.

By Mrs. Chas. c. Marble.

granO mother anu llttlc DOt. Grandmother sat in her low rocking chair, with her glasses pushed back above her forehead, and before her stood Dot holding outstretched a bril- liant skein of wool upon her chubby little hands.
 Hurry up, drandma," said Dot, with a slight frown, you're so slow"
 Grandma took no heed, apparently, but went on with the utmost precision. Slowly the yarn reeled oyer the chubby thumbs, slowly went on the winding about grandma's ball.
 Dot stood first upon one foot, then the other, like barn-yard fowl, and gave at intervals tremendous sigh as evidence of her weariness.
 "You's 'zasperatin'," she at last broke ut; really and truly, drandma, you's old zasperatin' hisself."
 "What?" cried the startled old lady, who had been been intent upon her winding or perhaps lost in reverie of other days; what is that you are say ing, Dot?"
 ''I said you was 'zasperatin' old poke" replied Dot, firmly. "I is most tired to deaf, and there you go on wind- in jes' as if you was asleep"
 "Well, I never" gasped the old lady.
 I pretended to be intent upon the work before me, yet could scarce re- frain from laughing aloud.
 Hired, eh?" queried grandma, with twinkle in her eye; "well, we will soon be through, and you can lie down and rest"
 "No, Pm going out to jump rope" incautiously said Dot, with Willie and Rose. They're jumping now, don't you hear 'em, drandma?"
 "Ah, you are going to rest your weary limbs by jumping rope" re- piled grandma. "Well, so that you won't be entirely used up, suppose you sit on this chair," pulling one beside Dot.
 Dot sulkily complied, but as she did so dropped her hands in feigned weari- ness.
 "See," cried grandma, "you are let ting strands of the wool slip over your fingers. Hold up your hands, dear. and we will soon be through" and on vent the old lady, placidly and slowly winding as before.
 Dot for space looked the picture of youthful resignation, but soon her i'm patience returned.
 Hurry up," she cried, vehemently. You're enough to 'zasperate the pa tience of Job," and again saw her slyly drop loop or two from her fin- gers, as she moved restlessly upon the chair.
 Grandma looked at her reprovingly, but hastened somewhat her move ments. There was pause presently in the winding. The old lady brought
