An evening contemporary is having
much to say in criticism of the sherin's
bill, and seems do object to the charge
for the number Of Migrants committed
by the mayor Of New Castle. II there
is no legal authority for paying these
bills, any taxpayer can go into the
courts and prevent it. We think the
contention is weakened by objection to
an allowance of twenty cents a day for
board We doubt whether one could
make money at feeding dogs at that
rate. As "a matter Of fact, the sherim's
allowance for that item should be
higher. Allowing five cents a day for
service TO each prisoner, the meals
would average five cents each. 1t is
impossible to make anything at that
rate. In Kent. the sheriff wants the
allowance raised, and the Levy Court
should do 1T, as should also our New

MRS. NATION.

When Mrs. Carrie. Nation
Desires some recreation,
Or lively occupation,
With due deliberations, ~
And grim determination.
She leaves her habitation
And makes a demonstration
Against intoxication.
She scorns .expostulation, :.
Ignores all explanation,
Puts axe In operation
At every liquor station
That comes in observation,
And there's no hesitation
Until the devastation
Has reached its termination.
There's sudden agitation,
There's widespread considerations;
There's fiery Indignation
Der booze" in percolation;
But Mrs. Carrie Nation
Displays no trepidation;
In fact, her conversation
Is full Of exultation.
With sorrow and vexation,
And sad-eyed contemplation
OF work Of ruinatfon,
The man whose occupation
Had nnge-ed Mrs. Nation
Makes heated declaration
That he'll start litigation
And get remuneration.
No sign of perturbation
Is shown by Mrs. Nation,
For to her habitation
She goes In jubilation,
And vows that ruination
Will have continuation
Till Kansas legislation
Has stopped intoxication.

Social Status Of old-rime Taverns.

Newspapers killed the tavern of the old
style, or at least retired it from business.
It was the great focus of informa ton be-
fore the morning journal supplied the in
teiiectual want. Much of the business of
early times was transacted at the tay-
ern, and the "win-hous" reflected the
manners, social tastes, customs and rec,
reations Of the people. The master, or
taverner, was mostly a person Of sub
stance, often Of ready wit and cheerful
manners. The tavern must have left its
indelible impress upon posterity, for even
at this day we are content to sit beneath
low! ceilings Of frescoed yellow pine
