his audience many new things, his
simple faith and devotion to God
bring his hearers close to the paths

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The marriage
of Miss Margaret McDermott, of Eliz.

ark, was indefinitely postponed last
evenlng, in consequence of the discoy.
cry by Sheehan that Miss McDer.
mott wore openwork hosiery. Justice
Markey had taken their names, when
Miss Margaret placed her foot on a
chair, and the young woman who ac-
companled her tied her loosened shoe
lace. The incident disclosed the fact
she wore Openwork hosiery.
Some one remarked that clergy
man in Brooklyn bad lost his charge
because Of his opposition to openwork
hose.

right, remarked Sheehan.

"I'll not be dictated to by you or
anybody about what shall wear.
There were further angry words, and
Miss McDermott turned and walked

Horses Picture Worth $1,000.

Stewart, the noted artist of Chicago

Scandal and Gossin.

Editors are first to hear gossip OF
scandal, indiscretion Of men and Of
women, things unfit for publication
intrigues, clandetine meetings, llrta
tions Of married women, night buggy
rides, young girls gone astray rumor
Of married men, and in fact al
neighborhood scandals. Editors
generally know all the naughty do
ings In a community, no matter how
secret. II one half they heard wert
published, divorce suits would follow
in some cases, social ostracism IL
others, shotguns and gore, imprison
ment, lynching, desolate homes
shame, humiliation and misery. Tht
editor also learns of much sham anC
hypocrisy of life, and it is wonder hi
believes anything on earth or in The
hereafter. People who abuse hin
often owe their standing in society Il
his forbearance. .-ExCHAHGE.

VISIONS OF THANKSGIVING

Now doth the turkey see in dreams
The visions Of a day
That makes his heart go pit-a-pat
And turns his feathersgray.
The smell of celery gives him pain,
And though his eyes are wet
With tears Of coming sorrow, he
Tries bravely to forget.
A little cranberry is to him
The crimson badge Of fate
That he must wear when he is called
Into his future state.
An oyster makes him shut his eyes
To miss the sight Of II;
And when he sees an axe, Great Scott
lie almost has III,
He thinks about the people who
win sound his requiem,
And wonders how it's going to feel
To be inside of them.
All, guileless dreamer, you are ur
Against Thanksgiving Day;
You've got to starve yourself to death
Or die the other way.

Alton Extensions.


The Jefferson City papers are con-
siderably worked up over a new rail-
road to be built from Oklahoma
through Southwest Missouri to Jeffer-
son City. They report that a gentle
man was there last week whose busi-
ness it was to look into the matter of
a railroad bridge over the river, and
have concluded that possibly the Al
ton has a scheme to build through
line from the southwest to Chicago.
The subject has been discussed sew
eral times heretofore and the opinion
has been held by many for several
years that such line will finally be
constructed by the Alton. 1t will, Of
course, make the Fulton branch a
part Of the main line, and then, il the
short line is built into st. Louis, Mex
leo would naturally become the roads
largest division. Putting the scheme
to shorten the line into st. Louis and
the scheme to enter the southwest to-
gether, they each appear the more
plausible.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cann1t reach the
disease portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is By constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus by an In
famed condition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eusnachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are cased by catsrrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition Of the
mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness tcaused by catarrhl that can
not be cured by Hal's Catarrh ure. Send for
circulars, free.

No Blanks to Fill Ont.

We have many inquiries in regard To
quarterly report blanks for reports to
the County Board of Education. The
Board, last year, made an effort to
have a course of study adopted and
have regular reports from all the
schools, but there is no provision in
the law for paying the expenses Of
printing the blanks, paying the post
age ana furnishing stationery for the
great amount of correspondence re-
qulred, so the Board is compelled to
abandon the work. 1t is a sorry COM
pliment to progressiveness, but our
people are not in harmony with 1t, as
they have twice decided. And to tab
ulate the reports, refer them again to
the teachers and get the best results
from them would require more time
than any one of the board can give
without compensation, therefore we
will not send out any blanks or re-
quire any reports further from the
teachers.
