PEOPLE N EVENTS.

Nathan Ballinger. CT Newcastle, Ind,
so years old, is cutting a new set of
teeth, the third he has had in the course
of his life.
1t is said that Chartran, the French
artist, has made a striking portrait
of President Roosevelt, one that suits
even the painter, who is his W sever
est critic.
Although Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia, does not often attend the
races nowadays, it was different dur
ing his early manhood. One day he and
a chum slipped off together from school
and on the way to the track came across
their professor, who said in surprise:
Young gentlemen, what does this
mean? You should be at your lessons"
Elkins said: 'Sir, we wanted to go to
lessons and also to the races, so we
tossed for it and it came down for the
races" "What did you throw up??"
w threw a lump of coal up. 1t it
stayed up we went to school; if it came
down we went to the races; and here
we are, sir"
Congressman Cannon sometimes in
dulges in metaphor when addressing
the house, and at such times he de-
clines to be bound by any rule. AS a
consequence his metaphor sometimes
is mixed. He was arguing against a
proposition favoring a railroad one
day. "The railroads have been before
the senate on their knees praying and
praying and praying" said Uncle Joe
in his preacherlike tones, and then,
stopping a moment and looking about
the house, he concluded to finish with
an expression that might better appeal
to the understanding of many mem
bers and added: sAnd, gentlemen, let
US call their hand"

their equipment, and they realizedthat
as beautiful as the material was it was
not practical for any commercial pur-
pose.
When a new stable was planned one
of the officials said: 'Why not use the
onyx for its foundations?"
No sooner suggested than done. The
blocks were of just the right size and
therewas no questioning their solidity.

mighty stretch of wild woodland for

care of retaining its wild luxuriance,

moved his helmet, to indicate that
he considered himself among friends,
and that there was no need to pro-

vived in the custom of raising the hat

lover the Hill to the Poor House"

1t became the painful duty Of
our overseer of the poor, Mr. Joseph
Jones, to remove to the poor h 1use.
on last Friday morning, one of the
towns oldest inhabitants, Mrs.
Nancy Carver, and her son Henry
d Carver.
This step became necessary be-
cause of the fact that Mrs Carver
is growing so helpless, she being
about 80 years of age, that she
could have no longer cared for her
self and sen, and it would have
been necessary for some person to
have taken charge of them. An
arrangement of this kind, it seems
could not be made by Mrs Carver's
relatives.
Dan, although a comparatively
young man, and possessing a good
education. is almost as helpless as
his mother. in matters where prac-
ticability is necessary, and for sew
eral years he has not earned frac-
tional part of living for himself
or mother. So long has he re-
manned entirely inactive, both ment-
ally and physically,that the average
child of eight years could be far
more successful in making its way
in the world than Dan. At enc
time he was a right successful
school teacher but dissipation lost
him this means of Livelihood, and
it seemed that there was no other
work to which he could turn his
hand.
The people of Monterey. general
ly. but a few in particular, have
been very kind to these people and
for years have supplied them with
the necessities of life, excepting a
small allowance made to them by
the county, and when Mrs Carver
so earnestly and pitifully protested
against being taken away from the
place she had for so many years
called home, their hearts went out
to her, and many, no doubt, thought
Of the pathways that were yet be-
toie them, wondering where they
wonld lead.
There are.sad things in life.

A Sore AffIiCtiOn

i In last issue mention was made
of the death of little child of Mr.
and Mrs George Lockridge of Bull.
pasture. The cause of the death OF
this little one was flux, and but II
few days after its death the only
remaining child of these young par
ems was stricken with the same
disease and died in short while.
Mr. and Mrs Lockridge and other
persons of the neighborhood were
afflicted in the same way. but are
better; also Mr. r f Gillett. a rela-
tive the deceased children who went
there for the purpose of attending
their funeral, was taken with the
same disease, and for several days
was critically i'll. He had, however,
recovered sufficiently to be removed
to his home at Monterey Tuesday.
1t is said that the older one of
these little children, but a day or
two before she took sick, talked to
her mother about death, asking
her if she would be sorry should
she die, and many other questions
which showed that the matter was
on her mind, although at the time
she was in perfect health. The
day before she fell I'll she was miss
ed from the house, and when search
was made was found at the family
burying ground not far away. The
next day she became violently sick
and the third day from the time
she, in health, visited the grave
yard her body was borne there by
loving hands and given a resting
place near those whom she had
spoken of as being in heaven and
whom she SAID she was going to
meet.
In a single week, to have two
bright, sweet. little children-the
only two-removed from a home,
is a sorrow too deep to be reached
by human sympathies and an atfilc-
ton too great to be healed except
bv the great sympathy, tenderness
and love Of the One who said, SUI
fer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such is
the kin gdom of heaven"
