In Barton County, Mo-, just
after the civil war, one Har-
rington, had stolen a sawmlll.
A Sd wmill is a rather unusual
thing for a man to steal, but
the Jefeudent in this case had
deliberately taken his team and
hauled the mill away. After
hearing the evidence, the jury
retired. and a short time they
came in. the foreman handing
to the court a verdict which
read something like this: 1--WE,
the jury, believe from the evi
dence that the defendant, Har,
rington, took the sawmill, but
since it appears that it took it
from a lot of - rebels, we &C
quit him" Judge Ward is said
to have the exact written words

There Is No Death.

There Is No Death.
We have been requested to
publish the following beautiful
liues written years ago by Sir
e. BulWer Lytton:
There is no death! The stars
go down
To rise upon some fairer sh ore
And bright in Heavens jeweled
crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust
we tread
Shall change beneath the
summer showers
The golden grain or mellow
fruit,
Or rainbow. tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they
bear:
The forest leaves drink daily
life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves
may fall,
The flowers may fade and
pass away;
They only watt through wintry
hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel.
form
Walks DER the earth with ST
lent tread;
He bears our best loved things
away,
And then we call them
dead"
He leaves our hearts all DESC
late,
He plucks our fairest, sweet
est flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joy
Gus tones
Made glad these scenes of
sin and strife.
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And when he sees a smile too
bright,
Or heart too pure for faint
and vice,
he pears IL TO that world OF
light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undylng life
They leave us but to come
again;
With joy we welcome them
the same
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though un-
seen,
The dear immortal spirits
tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there is no dead.

mo. it is not all profit in our busi-
ness" declared the manager of an 'ex-
elusive" shoestorc in the Fifth avenue
district. 1T is true we fit the feet of
people of money. which means that in
cases of running accounts we have to
wait till the end of the year for our
money, because they scorn anything
but yearly settlements-tha is, we
render our bills on Jan. / and get our
money some time before June. But our
chief source of loss is from polished,
we'll dressed thieves. How can Il man
get away with Il pair of shoes? Why.
by putting them on his feet and walk
ing away with them. These thieves,
men and women, come in with the air
of wealth and gentility, select expen-
sive shoes, try them on-both shoes are
tried on, you know, in first class
place-and while pretending to walk
up and down to try the feel of the
shoes they divert the salesman's atten-
ton and simply walk out of the store
with twenty dollar shoes on their feet,
leaving a dollar and a half pair on our
hands. Don't think we are easy but
there are so many ways in which this
can be worked that we sometimes lose
three or four pairs of shoes in week"
