Two hired men of Ingvald Rass-
mussen got into difficulty last Friday
morning which resulted in a fight and
chewing match, one of them got his
nose in the others mouth and came
very near losing this member of his
anatomy. His feelings will be part
ly soothed by entering a case of as
sault and battery before Justice Wake.
The Chinese mother who desires
from motives Of religious fanaticism
to destroy her offspring retires to the
River Ganges and there throws her
child into the waters. Not SO with
the American parents, some of whom
have no idea how great a crime they
are committing. Infant mortality is
enormous and some of it is criminal.
Has there been a case in this locality?
It will be we'll to investigate. 1t is
called infanticide.
"The lark was up to meet the sun
and carol forth it's lay; the farmers
son took down his gun and at him
blazed4away. The busy bee arose at
five and hummed the meadow GER;
the farmers wife went for his hive
and robbed him of his store. The
little ant rose early too, his labors to
begin, a greedy sparrow passed that
way and took his antship in. Oh,
birds and bees and ants be wise; in
proverbs take nc stock, and like the
mossback do not rise till half past
nine o'clock"
''If your seat is too hard to sit
upon, stand up; if a rock rises before
you, roll it away or climb yer it; if
you want money, earn it; if you wish
for confidence, prove yourself worthy
of it. It takes longer to skin an
elephant than a mouse, but the skin
is worth something. Do not be con-
tent with doing what another has
done, surpass it. Deserve success and
it will come. The boy is not a born
man. The sun does not rise like a
rocket or 60 down like a bullet fired
from a gun; slowly, but surely it
makes it's round and never tires. 1t
is easy to be leader as a wheel horse.
If the job be long and the pay will be
greater; if the task be hard the more
competent you must do it,"
When the young rooster begins to
crow, he wants the frying pan, or,
rather, the frying pan wants him.
