A NsMspapsr Fable.

/ Said the groceryman to the butcher
1t really is sin that you buy your
salt on the wholesale plan and don't
let me handle the tin" He then hied
himself back 10 the grocery store and
quickly an order sent for few choice
hams for the family use and box oil
fish for Lent. Said the clothing man
to the hardware man, "You certainly
don't do right when you order suit
from an Eastern house with my big
stock in sight" But the clothier
wanted a new steel range and it came
as his neighbors know, in box he
tried to hide in the barn, and marked
Sears, Roebuck & Co." The bust
ness men then called meeting to see
where the trouble lay and they all
agreed twas the editor man and not
the devil to pay. "Why don't he
roast the department stores and ped
ding fakirs," they said, "ani stand
by those who patronize him and give
him his daily bread" So they drew
up a contract long and strong for the
editor to pursue, and waited on him
with aspect grim as he solemnly dug
for news, but the editor laughed with
big horse laugh till the gang all took
to the woods; it was written on axle.

Formal Obsequies.

The late Thomas B. Reed believed
in getting on with the public bust
ness, and did not believe in the Gus
tom of setting apart time for q sol.
emn reading Of obituary addresses in
Congrees. He considered it . foolish
custom, saying that he thought "the
survivors could show their respect for
the dead in better ways than by vot
ing themselves a days idleness."
When Thad Stevens, who, in bis
courage, his power of sarcasm and his
pithy speech a. we'll as his imperious-
ness in debate, resembled Mr.. Reed,
was on his deathbed in Washington,
Congressman Grinnell, of Iowa, who
was clergyman. called on him and
said: "Whsn your death takes place
the House will, of course, take notice
OF the event. Have you any prefer
ence who among your old political
friends should speak at this timer
Stevens replied: II don't care cuss
who makes the speech, but I'm id
glad shan't be there to hear It,"

Two Sides to q Question.

A plumber was sent for to the house
OF q wealthy stockbroker to execute
some repairs. He was taken by the
butler into the dining-room, and was
beginning his work, when the lady oil
the house entered.
"John," said she, with q suspicious
glance towards the plumber; "remove
the silver from the sideboard, and lock
it up at once"
-.
But the man OF lead was in no wise
disconnected. "Tom," said he to his
apprantice, who accompanied him

There seems to be dishonest people

Five children, ranging in age from

sent to find homes with strangers. The
children are those of woman known
as Mrs. Mcdonald, and who claims her
husband is in Australia, where she

A very peculiar death occurred at

Mrs. Ida Rockenfeld was on her
way home last Saturday night in Sc.

man lying on the sidewalk at Pine

the PROSTATE form the man rose up in

halt. Another man approached from

The house of prostitution owned
and operated by Annie Mensing in
the north end OF Colfax was de-
stroyed by fire under peculiar cir

little doubt, for those who arrived
early on the scene say the smell OF
oil was plainly observable. The
building was entirely destroyed. This
is the third time within few months
that an attempt has been made to fire
the place, and another time dynamite
was placed under the corner of the
house and exploded, damaging the
house and shaking up the inmates,
but no one was seriously mi ured.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Looking for the Bright Spots.

Emerson says: "Do not hang a dis
NAL picture on your wall, and do not
deal with sables and glooms in your
conversation"
Beecher follows with: "Away with
those fellows who 60 bowling through
life, all the while pretending to be
birds of paradise. He that cannot
laugh and be gay should look we'll to
himself. He should fast and pray un-
til his face breaks forth into smiles"
Talmage takes up the strain as fol-
lows: "Some people have an idea
that they comfort the afflicted when
they groan with them. De not drive a
hearse through mans soul. When
you bind up the broken bones of the
soul, don't use cast-iron splints."
1t is not always easy to smile, espe-
cially if you have allowed yourself to
dwell in the shadows; but if you reso-
lutely rcpulse the demon OF darkness
you will find the sunshine all about
you. One can SO train the eye OF the
soul as to find out the bright spots and
gloss over the gloom, and even the
blacklist clouds will give way before q
determined, cheerful spirit. 1t may re.
quire some effort and good bit Of
courage, to attempt the mountain
paths, but it is better to toll upward
than to spend ones life in the marshes
Of the low-land.
