OLD SCOTCH JUDGES.

Always Kept in Cornwall Training
While on Circuit.
In Scotland all gentlemen were ac-
quainted and hospitality was the ma
tional virtue. When practicable the
lords Of the circuit lay and supped ia
the mansions Of their friends, where.
the host had made great preparation
in rough-and-ready fashion. The
troubles Of the day were forgotten in a
bout of heavy drinking, for on these
occasions the hest liquors were
brought forth, and in courtesy the
guests were expected not to spare
them. His lordship might have his
cravat loosened ard be borne off to.

saddle again after early breakfast, and
the cold ride was a sovereign specific

the game. In The rev olutiOH Of the
circuit Braxfield found himself trying
his hospitable friend, who had got
awkwardly mixed up in some sbduc-
ton of cattle. The evidence was
clear, the panel was convened, and
the judge passed the solemn sentence
of death. Then, bending down, he

These Judges of the iron heads az

WILLIAM RICHARD JOINER,
Born July a3, 1903, Died July 2,
1901, Aged 8 Years, S rlonths
and 9 Days.

How sad it s when death enters
our homes and removes one of our
dear children. The grief of the
father and mother is almost beyond
endurance "Dick" was a remark
ably sprightly little boy. He was
devoted to his parents, and the idol
of their hearts. While they loved
him truly may they remember that
the Savior loved him more. He
died for him, aud had use for
him and has prepared a place for
him in His kingdom above. While
it is sad to think that "Dick" will
be with us no more, we know that he
lives and we can 60 and meet him.
How much Of the sorrows of life he
has escaped we cannot tell; but be-
lieying him to be at rest we would
not call him back to this world OF
sin and affl ction.
To the parents we would say IN
the language of another: Your
idolized boy is in heaven. Can you
look up? Can you bear the splen-
DIR of that sight? Ten thousand
celestial beings, and your own be-
loved "Dick," a child angel, in
their midst.
SIN his eyes glory light,
And on his brow glory crown,
May angels keep vigil around his little grave
Until the resurrection morn"

INVENTIONS FOR BABIES.
Many Brains Kept Busy Devisina
Small Infantile Comforts


81 was looking over recent month
" report sent out from the patent
office at Washington, said local at
torney to New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat reporter, "and | was surprised
at the large number of small things
that are patented monthly by the am
bilious inventors of America. Many
of them, too, will prove Of immense
benefit to humanity, and in this con-
nection l may say that the growth
of this business in importance has
impressed me with the wisdom of the
forefathers who made the encourage
ment of invention one Of the funda-
mentals of our system Of government.
Great fortunes are annually made by
the inventors of small and simple de-
vices, so we have individual profit
combined with more general public
benefit. But there was one thing that
impressed me more than any other
thing in this connection, and that was
the vast amount Of attention given to
that useful and irrepressible mem
Der, the American baby. DO you
know, it is almost impossible to pick
up report sent out by the patent
Office at Washington without finding
one or more little things that have
been patented just for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the babies of the
country. One would think that the
larger and more mercenary institu-
tions of the country would crowd the
baby out of the mind of the inventor,
but this is not the case. The baby
has his day in the inventors court,
and the industrious dreamer with a
penchant for the mechanical has not
been slow in devising things that
would add to the comfort of the baby
life. In one of the recent reports
| counted three inventions of this
character, and incidentally l may re-
mark that there is probably lesson,
just bit of philosophy, if you please,
in the nature of the things patented.
One of them was bottle-yes, bot
'ftle-the kind the young fellows nib
BILE at when the mother is away. The
other two had similar relation to the
comfort and well-being of the baby,
but the inventors confined their time
and talent to constructing devices to
slip over the mouth and neck of the
bottle, and, of course, the general idea
was to provide a more healthful APP
paratus for the child who is forccd &C.
casionally to fall back on this mod
ern utility. Among the other things
designed and patented for the use OF
the American baby we're many rat
tiers, symbolizing something, inven.
tions that will probably find lodg-
ment in some of the schools fashioned
after the plan Of Froebel and Other
kindergartens; but the bottle and
kindred things made the deepest i'm.
preston on me, because they seemed
to indicate the drift Of things. Their
lis no chance to lose the American
baby in the whirligig Of time, for the
same is a peach"

Curious Use of Electricity.

Electricity played a curious part in
a recent lawsuit. A certain telegraph
company was not allowed to have its
wire run into race course. Tele-
graphic operators were stationed in a
cupola of a hotel opposite the grounds,
and signals were transmitted TO them
from the race track by means of cleo
tric lights concealed in the hats Of the
party seated in a carriage, including
the coachman ON the carriage. The
results of the races and the betting
were thus communicated to the OPP
orators, who were enabled to send out
information to poolrooms. The gen.
tlemen who were electrically equipped
were arrested, and after some years a
verdict of $4,000 was obtainedagainst
the detectives who made the arrest

DR.. King traced the history of Uni
versalism in this country. 1t was
brought here in ITO from England by
John Murray who came first to Glou
cester and in 1774 to Boston. Murray
had been brought up in strict Calvin
istic doctrines. DR.. King spoke of 1t
as a significant fact that the early
leaders of Universalism, Murray, Ho-
sea Ballou and Winchester were all
brought up in a Calvinistic Church
Hosea Ballou advocated the doctrine
that punishment is limited to this life.
Murray did not deny eternal guilt but
claimed that the guilt was borne by
Christ. Ballou's ideas caused n split IN
the denomination which lasted for 10
or IL years. Winchester, who led the
opposition to Ballou, believed in future
punishment and in material punish
ment with literal hell fire.
DR., King said that the denomination
in this country in 1890 numbered about
$4,000 members. 1t may have Increased
by a few thousands since then. They

a large denomination, yet there is

CAMPAIGN CLOSED
IN OHIO SATURDAY

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 9-Following their
closing rally last night and the receptions
to James Kilbourn. Democratic candidate
for governor. and other Democratic lead
ers, today, the Democrats are claiming
that they will elect part of their ticket in
Hamilton County.
The result at Cleveland and Toledo is
likely to be very close. The Republicans
concede that the result is doubtful in
Franklin County in which the state capi-
tai is located. The Republicans. can lose
both Cuyahoga and Franklin counties and
still have a majority in the Legislature
for senator If they carry Hamilton and
Lucas counties. as seems most probable.
There is considerable shortage in the reg
istration of the four leading cities. and
the greatest falling off is in Toledo. where
registration is very much less than last
year.
The election this year is for a full state
ticket and county tickets as well as mem
bers of the Legislature.
The question of local option has been
prominently agitated in this campaign,
but with the brewers and liquor organ
izations on one side and the Ohio Anti
Saloon League on the other this issue is
considered a stand-off between the two
leading parties. The only large city in
which this issue has figured is Columbus.
