earIand and the Mushrooms.

Hamlin Garland, who is~now, by
residence at least, a New Yorker, is
well known among his friends for
the seriousness with which he re-
CARDS his work and the Importance
which he attaches to his position in
literature. An example Of this was
given when Mr.. Garland recently
visited friend, whose wife brought
in for Sunday night tea a dishful
Of fresh mushrooms, which she had
procured from a neighboring hot
house. The distinguished author
regarded them with undisguised
suspicion.
"Are you sure, madam" he asked
with great concern, chat these are
not poisonous variety of mush-
room ?"
The hostess assured him that
they were harmless and edible, but
he still hesitated, looking specula-
lively into space. The host asked
him if he still feared.
'No," replied Mr.. Garland; 81

Competition.


Old Susan Kellum owned cow, and
lived in Germantown
In selling milk she found that she must
compete with Neighbor Brown:
Twas almost ike s,srgau n gor herself
and little Dick
One day her boy came running in and
said. Browns cow is sick."
Then quickly came twinkle TO old ST
san KeIlum's eye-
1t seems she wouldn't worry though
her neighbours cow should die.
Browns customers began To come to
buy her mill, and cream
She sold a pint - Dr.. Smith, a quart to
Lawyer Beam
And Brown himself came-ove then TO
buy a quart or So.
Twas then that Susan tried her best
strong sympathy to show,
But she couldn't hide the twinkle in
the corner OF her eye
Twas plain she wouldn't dress i'm black
though Browns old cow should die.
She sold new milk, skinned milk and
cream; sold all the cow would give.
And little Dick and and Susan Kellum
knew then just how to live.
A box must hold two sa, ks OF -four. the
shed ton of coal,
Some apples in coffee sack. potatoes
ina hole;
And Susan had twinkle in thu corner
Of her eye
1t palmer grew when Brown had hung
his eowhide out to dry.
So, when our farmers havea crop while
RUSSIA suffers drouth.
Or when a teacher gets n school bN
showing some one~ut,
Or when workman gets a, job with g
dozen standing by,
O. this world is full of twinkle. Hav,
you tried to find the reas, IA why?
There are many twinklsrs twinkled by
dloSe VINO nave the pie.
Like the wrinkles Susan twinkled i'm tn,
corner of her eye.
But do not ccnsure harshly, though
many starve and die.
While others live in plenty with twin
kle in their eye.
But let us work togathcr fer better
time that's nigh.

PU6hcIfy.

The Times is gratiiied TO note the
fact that the Virg' "A 1 Tess Association
resolved at its late meeting to create a
standing committee or legislative enact
ments. 1t is the design that this com
mittee shall confer from time TO time
with members of the general Assembly.
with "a view TO such enactments as the
editors may think necessary TO the
public good, and a special effort 80 be
made TO have the law relating to tie
publication OF the tranaction from time
to time OF the various county boards Of
super Sisors pr ted i'm the local pa
pers.
As the law now stands it IS pro- dcd
that these statements shall be posted
at the voting precincts i'm the counties
or published i'm the county newspapa-
pers. The editors II nix that that the
law should make such publications
compulsory.
1t may be argued that the editors are
selfish i'm this movement. but such a
charge would be unfair. Some OF the ed
itors have offered to publish these state
ments free OF charge and we are quite
sure that all would be willing to pub
lsh them at very moderate rate. The
compensation to the newspapers would
be very small and the editors would re-
ceive very tile benefit from an adver-
Using point OF view. But these editors
know that the grert power and useful
ness OF the press are in what we call
pub city. a newspaper is a means
of communication between the patrons
of the paper, and the most convenient
madium extent There ought 10 beno
secrets 4 official circles. The people
have Il right to know what their officers
Of Government are doing and especial
ly have they the right to know how the
money WI ich is collected from them in
taxes Is spending 1t is not enough for
the boards of supervisors to post their
statements at the voting precincts. 1t is
very hard 70 any man To read intclli-
gently paper thus displayed. The
taxpayer has the right To have such
reports pr ted in convenient from SO
that he may take them TO Is home
and 60 over the items and determine
for mself whether OF not the money is
sely and juC ciously expended The
most convenient form - To have the
repoiS printed in the county papers.
and we believe that a law To that effort
would result in = better administration
of the county affairs, and 70 the boards
OF the supervisors known that every
item of expenditure is to bc brought to
the attention of the Taxpayers in the
county they W natura y be careful in
mai ~ their appropriation.
If the press committee shall accom-
plish nothing more than the change dis
cussed it will have done IA great work
for the taxpayers, and we feel sure that
the Taxpayers, in all the counties will
be perfectly willing to pay the small
cost involved.-R Richmond Times.

lEdltorial Corresnondence !

A--NN'NNAAeAA NNAANn
Richmond, Va, June 27.-The recent
meeting, just closed, Of the Press As
sociation, was memorable one in sev-
eral particulars. The place OF meeting
Virginia Beach, is probably in many
respects one of the finest summer re-
sorts in the country, and is frequented
by large number of wealthy people
from Northern cities, as well as from
many sections of Virginia. It's proxim-
Ity to Norfolk, Petersburg and Rich
mond, and the splendid transportatio
facilities between these cities and the
Beach, afford opportunities for daily
excursions, Sunday school and other
picnic parties, 50 that there IS always
a crowd
The hotel accommodations are am
pie and charges not exorbitant. The
surfbath' lg IS excellent. Many of the
party attending the Association wit
messed and participated in this delight
full exercise for the first time this week,
The meet lg was not so largely at
tended as was expected, nor as should
have been, due perhaps to the fact. -
some cases that at least, that it was
held far off from the center of the State
A number Of young men, and a few Of
the old ones, were present on this oc-
casion for the first time.

A Very Delicate Souvenir.

A correspondent of the Boston
Journal tells of a certain delicate
souvenir owned by a resident of
Washington, which was exhibited
by its proud owner. 1t was a gold
ring made of the filings of the
teeth of his dead wife. Whether
the teeth were removed after death
aAi cracked like butternuts to Sc
cure the gold or whether the gold
was simply chiseled out, leaving the
teeth in the jaw, deponent cannot
state. The association seemed to
be pleasant, whatever the process
of removal.

Condemn action OF the Jud0e.

1t is evident thata calm, judicial tenn.

Campbell, of Amherst county.
Friday after discharg ~ Rev. Mr..
Crawford on account Of the CONTEMPT
OF court case, the Jude inflicted upon
the preacher-edit personal chastise
ment with a cowl de! That was very.
very bad.
The Judges official position and Mr..
Crawford's nOn-combatant character
ought to have made him hold Is
hands; instead OF that he has put Mr..
Crawford in a martyr Ike position, and
has made for hin self an unenviable
record as an administrator the laws
and a preserver of the peace
- not to be thought Of that this
matter will be dropped here and now
Now W. it end by uial for assault.
AT any rath, the Legislature Will fall far
short of its duty - it fails to investigate
the assault upon preacher Crawford, and
to take such actions as the enormity OF
the offence demands.
The following Richmond ministers
condemn the action of Judge Campbell
in publicly horse whipping Rev. Dr..
Crawford at Amherst Court House last
week:
"Such shocking violation of law and
decency, on the part Of Judge, ought
to be impossible in our old Virginia
civilization.
1.-THE offence of the Judge is accen-
tuated in the fact that he is member
of that most honorable body, the State
Constitutional Convention. / have not
doubt that the Judge himself will de-
plore the lamentable affair more than
any other citizen of the State, and that
he would at this moment give $4,000
In gold to cancel this action of momen-
tary passion. w. r. l.. Smith. pastor

bell as uncalled for, when, having dis
charged the accused, he openly and
brutality makes an aussault upon him,
when the discharged offers him his
hand.
Judge Campbell is himself am eX-

is an open violation OF the law Of the

should and will be condemned by AL
fair minded citizens of this old Com

Flowers as Food.

The flower buds of the marsh
marigold, Caltha palustris, are said
TO make excellent pickles. The
common Glove is a dried flower bud,
and it becomes an ingredient of va
rious articles of food. But the most
remarkable of all food flowers is
that produced by the mahua tree
of India, whose fieshy blossoms
form a staple article of food among
the poor. The people of the hill
tribes could hardly exist without a
regular supply of mahua flowers,
which are pulpy and sweet, but
somewhat nauseous to the unac-
customed palate. The surplus crop
of these blossoms is to some extent
dried, but the main part of the I'M
eaten supply is put into rude still,
which gives out copious supply Of
an exceedingly fiery and irritating
arrack, so strong that it has to be
diluted with ten or twelve parts of
water before it is considered a safe
article of beverage.

Women In NoIIs.

The custom of wearing face wells
among the women of the orient is
u very ancient one, and undoubtedly
the wedding and widows wells OF
our day are remnants of that old
world fashion. The oriental wom-
an prizes her veil beyond any other
article of her wardrobe. Rather
than have a strange man look upon
her uncovered face she will snatch
a curtain, counterpane or her petit
coats in her haste to conceal her
features, utterly regardless of other
parts of her anatomy which may be
exposed by the action. This need
not seem so very absurd when we
remember that it is a part of most
oriental religions to keep the wom-
EN- in exclusion and the Mohammed
of blessed memory made the COM
mand binding one.

0wensboro Undertakes Puzzled
Over What to do With Body.
The Remains We're Held By Former
Undertaken For Expenses of
Embalming.
NO ONE TO TAKE 1T.

Owensboro, Sept. 23.-The local
undertaking trust, known as the
Greensboro Undertskers' Association
is puzzled TO know what disposition to
make Of the body of q child which
comes TO II as an asset by the taking
over OF the business Of Robert Tennel-
ly. The body had been held four
years because the money for embalm.
ing it has not yet been paid. The
child was one OF Mr.. A. NJ. White, .
veterinary surgeon, and died in 1898.
The body was turned over TO Under
taker Tennelly to be embalmed and
prepared for burial Because he did
not receive assurances of getting the
money which he charged for his SER
vices, Tennelly refused to give the
body up. Tennelly's action in refus.
ing to give up the body or permit it to
be buried caused great deal of ad.
verse comment at the time, and be-
cause Of one criticism in q Louisville
paper Tennelly obtained judgment for
s5, 900 damages. The parents of the
child have left the city and the corpse
had lain around the undertaking es-
adjustment during the four years
that have interviewed. Recently the
undertskers' association bought Ten
nelly out. Now the corpse has pass
ed into its keeping. The association
desires to get rid Of the body but
there is no one to take it,
