Not as They Used to Be.

Things have changed" in the past
quarter of a century. Three score years
ago the average boy would 60 out on
Sunday, climb tree and partake OF q
few quarts of mulberries, and top OIL
with pocket full of green apples and
salt. The next morning the mother
diagnosed his trouble as worms" and he
was made to swallow half a bottle OF
Frey's vermifuge,a quarter of pound OF
epson salts, and was turned loose in the
cow pasture until supper time, when he
would come in for square meal all
right. Now if boy complains of having
a "stitch" in the side he has "appendi-
citis" and is hustled off to hospital,
starved within an inch of his life, half a
dozen surgeons each take a whack at him
with pearl handled knives, and he is
turned over to his friends or the under
taker-Freeport Ill) Journal.

Train Kills 80 Cows.

RICHMOND, Va, September 14.-Thirty-
two fine milch COWS owned by Mr.. j. G.
Linsley, of Henrico, were killed BY an
incoming passenger on the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad.
Engineer Charles Domain had blown
the whistle as usual for the crossing at
Hunslet, but as the train thundered
around the curve herd of 100 or more
COWS rushed on the track. They were
terror-stricken, and, instead of fleeing
from the danger, huddled together. The
train, which could not be stopped, plowed
throu gh the cattle, tearing and grinding
their bodies to pieces. Blood, bone and
beef were scattered in. all directions and
the wheels were clogged with bones, hoofs
and hides. One cow was thrown in the
air and landed on the third coach. The
Mortified passengers thought there had
been a head-on collision. No human be-
ing was hurt in the carriages.

The New Baby.

Yes, Eve got little brother,
Never asked to have him. nuther,
But he's here
They just went away and bought him,
And last week the doctor brought him,
Weren't that queer.
When heard the news from Molly,
Why, | thought at first twas jolly,
Cause you see,
l s'posed could 60 and get him,
And then mamma, course, would let him
Play with me.
But when l once looked at him,
"Why," says, "Great Snakes, is that him
Just that mite?"
They said, Yes" and "Aint he cunnin'%
And l thought they must be funnin',
He's sight.
He's so small, it's just amazin'
And you'd think that he was blazin',
He's so red.
And his nose is like berry,
And he's as bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why he isn't worth brick,
All he does is cry and kick,
He can't stop.
Won't sit up, you can't arrange him,
I don't see why pa don't change him
At the shop.
Now, we've got to dress and feed him,
And we really didn't need him
More'n frog;
Why'd they buy baby brother,
When they know I'd good deal ruther
Have dog?
