Superintendent Sanborn of the Boston

that hereafter brakemen must not put their

Somehow the average man is never

Good advice for Northern people does
not often come from South Carolina.
But here is some from the Charleston
News and Courier. Commenting on a
recent case of lynch law at Belleville
H.. the News and Courier says:
I'VE have no reproaches for the
people of Illinois, however. They will
find that the lynching habit will grow
upon them, as II has grown upon the
people Of the commemorative which
have permitted the mob to take the
place of the law. The lynching of
men in the South for one offence has
been followed by the lynching Of men
for other offences. and so II will be in
Illinois, II the public sentiment Of that
State is not aroused to the dangerous
tendency of the incident at Belleville"
Not only is lynching for other Of
fences than rape more and more COM
mon in the South, but the offences. act
ual or alleged, for which men are
lynched become less serious. For in
stance a negro was lynched near
Monterey Landing, Concord Parish,
Louisiana, last week, for assaulting a
white man, What provocation the
white man may have given for the as
sault is not maintained, nor is 1t stated
that 1t was a serious assault. The
negro struck n white man or was
charged with striking one; so he was
taken into the woods and lynched.
His body was "rlddled with bullets, "
the despatch says, whether before or
after hanging or burning, is not stated.

Poor Food.

The steamer Chateaugay is minus three
hremen and three deck hands, who
struck Monday night. when the boat was
between Essex and Cedar Beach. 1t
seems that it is about that time every
day that the crew has supper and Mon
day night, those who struck claim sour
potatoes were served. Nothing was said
until after supper. At that time nine
members of the crew, including three
hremen and six deck hands, went to the
captain and complained Of the bill of
fare They claim that they received no
satisfaction from this interview.
Tuesday morning three Of the deck
hands agreed to return to work with an
increase in their salary of s. a month.
Tho other six members Of the crew went
to the captain and demanded their time,
which was given them. They then went
and received the pay that was due them
and left for their homes. The mon claim
that poor food has been served them on
previous occasions.

This is a fact.
Don't write him notes. or telephons
Put make him wonder why
You lot him utterly alone,
To pine and wait and sigh;
Leave him even to die,
or even cry.
And then he'll come and see You quick,
And write YOU notes each day
And tell you that YOU are so "slickf
He cannot stay away,
You must act gay
And simply say,
"Nou arc n william, hut your art
Is useless here, beware,
You cannot break my tickle heart,
Nor turn my golden hair!
Try II you dare,

And by this time he's on his kneesI
The tears drop from his eyes
He heGS for you 10 take him please;
with you his heaven lies!
Don't feisr surprise
1t is unwise,
Now when you get HIM make him wait
Don't fail into his arms not yet,
A fish will bite the hyest bait
And that's tho fish you'll get,
Don't kiss him vet,
Lest he forget.

MY vow.


When I get rich I'll quit the road for good
And stay content at home as each man
should.
Who has a home wherein the faithful wife
Through years Of lonesome labor spends
her life;
III give some younger man my time worn
And let him take my routine monthly trip.
When I get rich.
When I get rich, at home I'll gladly stay.
And give my wife some comfort every
day.
I'll smooth away the wrinkles from her
face
That time has all too soon begun to trace;
I'll tighten all her labors, great and small,
And If she would consent. I'll bear them
all,
When I get rich.
When 7 get rich, I'll give with lavish
hand
To help the fallen rise in every land.
I'll give to spread the Gospel far and
wide.
To feed and clothe the poor on every
side;
I'll advertise that have funds To spare
In doing good to others everywhere
When l get rich
When ] get rich, Why make so rash a
vow?
A voice within me whispers. even now
Thou art already rich in resource grand
A voice that now should beat with love
divine
Give what thou hast, give freely what is
thine.
For thou art rich.
