NEW SHELDON STORY.
Eastern Papers Tell of Trouble With
Servant

There is a story going the rounds of
eastern papers to the effect that the
household Of the Rev. Charles M. Shell
don is agitated by the obstreperous ac-
tons of a servant who struck because
she was not treated by Mr.. Sheldon in
accordance with the views which he ad-
vocated in his solution of the hired girl
problem, as given in the book, Born to
Serve"
Born to Serve tells people how ser
wants are often abused; how they ought
to be treated, and why it is that good
help is SO scarce.
Mr.. Sheldon engaged a new servant re-
Gently, according to the reports, and she
insisted on sitting at the table with the
family To this Mrs. Sheldon objected,
because she said that her husband was
so busy she did not have time to talk
to him any except during meals, and she
did not want all her conversation re-
tailed to the neighborhood.
The servant declared that she wouldn't
stay unless she could stay on the plat
form set forth in Born to Serve" The
result is that Mrs. Sheldon is hunting for
another servant.
Mr. Sheldon refuses to discuss the
story. He says his family affairs are not
a proper subject for public gossip.

PENSIONS.

One by one, the Northern news
papers are waking up to the fact
that Congress must be called to
time OF the pension question. A
few of the more independent jour
nails above Mason and Dixon's
line have mustered up courage to
begin discussing sthe present dis
graceful state of affairs in the pen
sion office, but the subject is one
which, for the present, they handle
very gingerly. Here is a sample
from the Philadelphia Record:
"The apparent great advantage of
the United States over the nations
of Europe in that the former have
no large standing army to support
has been partly offset by the in
creasing sum that is annually ap-
propriated for military pensions.
1t is now thirty-six years since the
close of the civil war, yet che
pending pension appropriation
bill carries $146, 245, 28O-more
than five times the amount paid
for pensions in 1878. The total
number of pensioners (mostly sur
vivors of the civil wary now on
the rolls is 998,529. Twenty years
ago the number was 250,802, and
ten years ago, 537 ,944. More than
10000 new claims were allowed
last year, which exceeds the re-
ductfon occasioned by the death
of old pensioners"

THE ROME NEWSPAPER.

The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No chill
dren should grow up in ignorance
who can be taught to appreciate
the home press, says the Kensing-
ton pa. J Dispatch. 1t is said to
be the stepping stone of intelli-
gence In all those matters not to
be learned In books. Give your
children a foreign paper, which
contains not one word about any
person.. place or thing which they
ever saw, or perhaps ever heard of /,
and how could you expect them to
be interested But let them have
the home paper, and read of peo-
pie whom they meet ard of places
with which they are familiar, and
soon an interest is awakened which
increases with every weekly arrival
of the local paper. Thus a habit
of reading is formed, and those
children will read the papers all
their lives, and become intelligent
men and women, a credit to their
ancestors, strong in the knowledge
or the world as it is today.

plant cotton world without end. ;"
Make it so low that a fellow won't
pick it if you give him what he
gathers, and furnish him "free
hash" while he picks. Go it, boys !!

when you get old you can't raise
it. But one consolation-when
you can, no longer Zine" the

through the year. Don't go to
bed tonight without calling up all
the children, with their mother,
and reading this to them. Then

and devise methods for making
more cotton even while they sleep.
And hear, brother, don't fail to
take this to meeting next Sunday,
and go soon, before the preacher
gets there, so you can call "the

Eighteen years ago the Prohibi-
tionists won in Kansas in gem
eral state election. The large
towns voted against it, but the
Prohibitionists had a majority in
the total vote of the state. The
legislature, accordingly, passed
stringent prohibition laws, among
other things providing that it
should be q misdemeanor to even
rent house for liquor selling pur-
poses. In the cities and large
towns the drug stores took to dis
pensing liquors con prescriptions"
and blind tigers made their APP
pearance. Finally the dealers be-
cam bold and opened up regular
saloons, submitting to being fined
$25 to $50 per month for violating
the law. These fines, as a matter
of fact, amount to about what q
license would cost. In Leaven-
worth, where there are III saloons,
the monthly fine is $25, while in
Wichita, where there are sixteen
saloons, the fine is $50per month.
Notwithstanding the business is
outlawed, it is conducted openly.
The fact that it has no standing
in law accounts for Mrs. Nation g
immunity from punishment for
smashing things in the saloons.
