Buckeyes are not only lucky, but
curative. The Ohio politicians have
long been the wonder of the nation,

one recently with notion that he
would soon be promoted to a high
diplomatic Office by President Roose-

He said, with a stretch up and a
swell out: "Ohio has relieved Vir-
ginia of the odium of being the
mother of presidents and the foster
father of successful politicians.
Whenever a male child is born in
Ohio the United States understands
that there is a new factor in our po-

A crippled boy leaned on the churchyard
gate
Admiring7the fast setting sun;
Some children were frolicking under the
trees,
Rejoicing their days work was done:
The bells rang out from the old church
tower;
The birds caroled forth their sweet lays;
The incense of blossom hung thick in the
air
All nature delighted In praise.
And the boy cried aloud: "The children
can play.
The flowers brightly bloom DER the sod !;
The bells and the birds all unite In his
praise,
But what can do for my GodY
lie sighed as he thought what poor use
less life
His weakness compelled him to spend;
He never could hope to be first In the
strife,
SO longed for his sufferings to end

saw

Blow fell upon blow from the woodman's q
strong hand,
Yet only a small splinter broke.
Then CLEAN OF comfort awoke in his
breast;
or was 1t his angel that spoke.

Reflect on the oft given stroke?"

be used, according to preference.
After removal from the shells in as
large pieces as practicable they arc
to be placed on the bottoms of tins,

about half an inch. Next boil two
pounds of brown sugar, a half pint

the meats and allow it to remain
until hard.

Why Bows Wear Earrinqs.

The custom of boys wearing ear
rings in China is thus popularly ex-
planned by the Chinese; The boy is
the greatest blessing that heaven
can send. The spirits like boy ba-
bies. 1t is natural that they should ;
everybody likes them. Very often
if the boy babies are not watched
closely the spirits who are constant
ly around grab up the unmatched
boy babe and carry him off to their
home. Girl babies are not such
blessings, and the spirits care moth
ing for them. The earring is a
feminine ornament, and the spirits
know that. So the Chinese mothers
have the ears of their boy babies
pierced and put in huge earrings.
When the spirits are around looking
for boys, they will see the earrings
and be fooled into thinking the boys
are girls and will pass on and not
trouble them.-Washington Times.

"LOVe and Affection. +"

Love and affection" as a con
slderation was treatedofby Judge
Emmett Field in an opinion handed
down recently in the case of AM lie
Il. Risinger against f. j. Risinger
her son. Judge Field held that
Love and affection" was a valid
consideration for a gift from a
parent to child it is not sufficient
to uphold the gift.
Judge Field stated that it was
with extreme reluctance that he
was compelled to decide against
the mother in the present case,
the facts of which are of an unus-
ual character.
In 1882 Annie S. Risinger and
her husband, Martin l.. Risinger
decided to their son, f. j. Risiuger
eighteen acres of land in the coun.
ty, he agreeing to give his parents
one third of the product of the
land.
The parents claimed that the
son had not treated them fairly,
and that for a period of several
years he had not cultivated the
property.
Their differences, however,
were patched up in 1898, when the
parents decided the property to
their son absolutely, the consider.
alton being Glove and affection. Z"
On the same day the son made a
written agreement to pay the par
ents or the survivor of them $40 a
year for life.
The consideration recited in the
agreement was Glove and affect
ion.
Some time ago the mother
brought suit against the son to
recover the property, valued at
S4S5, on the ground that the son
had not kept the agreement. In
his answer the son admitted that
he failed to pay so to his mother
for the last three years. In an
amended answer he said that he
had forgotten that he had paid it.
AS a defence, however, the son
set up that "love and affection"
was not valid consideration for
this agreement with his parents,
and further that the deed could
not be set aside, as it had not at.
tached within ten years of the
time it was made. Judge Field
upheld both contentious of the
son, saying that it was with re-
luctance that he made this ruling.
He held that the deed was valid, as
Glove and affection" is valid con-
sideration between parents and
child, but that the agreement to
pay $40 a year is invalid, as the
consideration between the child
and the parents was Glove and af-
fection. "-Louisville Evening

Great Singers or the Stage.

/ remember how amused | was
when Nine. Eames told me how cap
italy Jean de Reszke, who un-
doubtedly is the greatest of living
tenors, initiates animal sounds
how he "bowwows" and "meows"
with the same voice which has thrill
ed thousands; also how Edouard de
Reszke delights in initiating the
sounds of various orchestral instru-
ments. But in order to do this he
is obliged to assume the pose of the
player, so that if he is initiating the
sounds of cello he sits as if he had
the instrument between his knees
and were drawing a bow across the
imaginary strings. As for Plancon,
whenever he and the prima donna
step out upon the stage together he
always whispers to her just as they
are leaving the wings, "Now they

tiful noses in the company."-Gus-

kubeIIk's Generosity,

The Austro-Hungarians of New
York city entertained Jan Kubelik,
the violin virtuoso, at a well known
cafe one night recently. During the
evening young lady asked Kubelik
for his autograph. Her request led
to similar requests from half a hun
dred others. For a quarter of an
hour Kubelik was kept busy writing
his name on cards. Among those
who requested the young musicians
autograph was Marcus Braun, the
president of the Austro- Hungarian
Republican club. But instead of
handing Kubelik card on which to
write his name Mr.. Braun handed
him check from his checkbook. 1t
was blank check on the Second
National bank. Kubelik took it'and
filled it out as follows:

Famous Sayings Of Famous Men.

"Give them little more grape,
Captain Bragg" said General
Taylor at the battle of Buena Wis
ta Though Taylor had never
cast a ballot in his life, and was
absolutely ignorant of politics;
this battle, supplemented by his
battle cry, which was on the ban
ners and transparencies of his
party in the campaign of 1848,
made him president. Some of
Jackson's admirers remarked
that he was as "tough as hickory"
and the designation Old Hickory
was thereupon given to him by
his political friends, and won him
many votes in his different can
vases for the presidency. The
Whig who said that "Tippecanoe
talks for Harrison too" helped

ing him from the necessity of
making many speeches, and by
keeping the fact to the front that
that battle and the man who won
it were worthy of remem brance.
"No terms other than an uncon-
ditional, immediate surrender
can be accepted, were the words
which Grant used to to Buckner
at Fort Donelson, and they had
conspicuous place on the repub-
lican banners in the canvass of
1868 in which Grant was first
elected, and Unconditional Sur
render became a nickname by
which he was known to his ad-
mirers. Lincoln's ga house di-
vided against itself can not

irrepressible conflict between op
posing and enduring forces," the
allusion being to slavery and free
dom in each case, were familiar
campaign cries in 1860.

of his mtny defeats for that Of

pirate epitaph, for the great COM
moner. 1t was authentic, too,
which is something more than
can be said for some of the fa-
nous expressions attributed to
conspicuous men. Wellington
declared that he never said, at
Waterloo or anywhere else, CUP
guards, and at them !" but poster
ity keeps on ascribing it to him,
perhaps on the assumption that
he ought to have said it, whether
he did or not. The answer, "The
Old Guard dies, but never surren-
renders" ascribed to the French
general, Cambronne, the comman-
der of the Old Guard, when sum-
moned by the victorious British
at Waterloo to lay down his arms,
was shown to be apocryphal by
his own testimony afterward, by
the fact that all the guard who
were left alive at the time did sur
render, and by the circumstance
that Cambronne himself lived f)r
more than a quarter of a century
after the battle, yet the sentiment
ascribed to him nerved Conkling's
old guard in the Republican con-
vention of 1880, and many other
forlorn hopes in the three-quart-
ers of a century since Waterloo.

A dispatch from Washington
says the house has passed the bill
introduced by Congressman Curtis
of Kansas, authorizing the sale of
timber and stone in the Indian
territory to railroads for use out
side the territory. The original
law prevented the sale of timber
and stone from the Indian terri.
tory to railroad companies except
for use in construction of roads
within the limits of the territory.
The committee recommended the
passage of the bill upon the show
ing thatit was absolutely necessary
for the railroad companies TO sey
cure timber and stone for the con-
struction of their roads, part oi
which are in the Indian territory
