after the death of Saint Patrick, came
to be known as the"Insula sanctorum

roads of pagan conquerors. In Ireland

Judge Spencer, general solicitor for
the Burlington road in Missouri, has
a reputation among the railroad op-
orators on Wall street of being an
ardent defender of Missouri at all
times. While guest of the Omaha
club on recent visit to the Nebraska
metropolis, friends who knew his fail
ing began to ridicule Missouri.

"'St. Peter I finally said, I've

strange you should have to chain

JEST AND STORY,

A minister. anxious to introduce
some new hymn books, directed his
clerk to give the notice in regard to
them Immediately after the sermon.
The clerk, however, had notice Of
his own to give out with reference to
the baptism of infants. Accordingly,
at the close of the sermon, he arose
and announced: cali those who have
children they wish to have baptized
will please send their names at once
to the clerk"
The clergyman, who was deaf, as
Stunning that the clerk was giving out
the hymn book notice, Immediately
rose and said: "And I should say, for
the benefit of those who haven't any,
that they may be obtained at the vestry
any day from three to four o'clock;
the ordinary little ones at one shilling
each, and special ones with red backs
at one shilling and fourpence."

Softly the echo goes around,
The father laughs at the tiny girl;
The fair young mother sings the
words,
While grandmother smooths the

And STOPPING low DER the precious

Nestles kiss within a prayer;
Murmuring softly, "Little one,
Grandfather did not weigh you fair"
Nobody weighs the baby's smile,
Or the love that came with the

Nobody weighed the thread Of care
From which woman's life is spun,
Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here, on earth, no weights

That could avail. God only knows
Its worth throughout eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold soul
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shrines it in this human guise
Within so fair and frail thing.
Oh. mother, laugh your merry notes,
Be gay and glad; but don't forget
From baby's eyes looks out soul
That claims a home in Eden yet.

A GOOD COMPANY.
Peruchi- -Gypsene Company Playing
Weeks Engagement-Well Re-
ceived in Newberry.

This week The Peruchi-Gysene
company is playing a six night en-
gagement in the NewDerry opera
house, including natinees on We'd
nesday and Saturday. The organi
zation came here with first class
reputation and has presented reper-
toire in Newberry far above that
usually put upon the boards by
popular price organization. The
company appeared on Monday night,
in the opening play. before large
and representative audience which
rendered hearty applause during the
performance and came away we'll
pleased. The good impression has
lasted thus far throughout every sub
sequent performance. Mr. Peruchi,
at the head of the company. is a CO.
median OF wide reputation and
pleasing parts. His humor is of the
rare species that is really funny, and
his wit is not OF the kind which
makes ones mind unconsciously re-
verJ to the proverbial chestnut tree.
He is clever and breezy, withal a
proper jokesmith and an infallible
creator of merriment and nirth.
Miss Mabel Gypsene, the leading
comedienne, is equally clever, and is
a fitting partner for Peruchi. The
remainder OF the company is COM
posed of finished artists who sustain
their parts in a laudable manner.
Miss Maize B. Lawrence, in her
specialties between the acts, has made
a decided hit with the Newberry au-
diences The word "cute" is not
usually permitted in ordinary crltl-
cisn, but no other word fits the case,
so it may be allowed lis to say that
Miss Lawrence is possessed Of all the
qualities which make the use of the
word desirable if not permissible.
The whole company is alright, and
the remaining three performances
deserve good patronage.

Contributions For Charity.

With the bitter cold of winter al
ways comes the call of the destitute
and needy for aid. The city official
have frequent calls for charity from
poor unfortunates, and because there
is 20 public fund in their hands for
this purpose the necessary help can
no: be extended. Acting Mayor
Van Smith and Clerk T. O. Stewart,
Jr.. state that if there are any per-
sons desirous of making contrlbu-
tions for such purpose they will be
ready and willing to receive such
funds and to dispose of them to the
best of their ability. This is not
a request for charity or a solicitation
either on the part of the town officers
or on that OF the newspaper, but
merely a statement that such funds
will be received if anyone desires to
make the donation.

WON HIM A FORTUNE.
How Genin Got Barnun to Advertise
Him All Over the Country.

When Jenny Lind, the great Swed-
ish singer, visited America in 1848
she not only won a fortune for her
self. but made two men wealthy as
well. One of them was Barnum,
the Snowman. 1t was Barnum who
brought her to America. He ven
tured all that he could raise in ad-
vertising the wonderful woman and
his successful management Of her
tour in this country lifted Barnum
to grand business success.
But there was another man who
got rich without having anything to
do with the management of the Jen-
ny Lind concert tour 1t was
Genin, the New York halter. His
name and business were advertised
BY Barnum wherever the Jenny Lind
concerts were advertised, and it
didn't cost Genin one penny for all
of the advertising that Barnum did
for him.
There was no hall in New York
big enough to accommodate the
crowd which attended the first con-
cert in this country. SO Castle Gar
den was fitted up ior the purpose,
and the seats were sold at auction.
Now, Genin was an unknown halter,
although lie was good one. He
went to the auction sale OF seats at
Castle Garden and outbid everybody.
He ran up he price OF the first tick
ct until some Of his friends thought
induce him TO desist. But Genin
was not crazy by any means. He
kept on bidding until he finally got
the first ticket for S7;o. He had
outbid the riches; men in New York.
The next day and every day alter
ward for many months it was an
nounced that "Gcnin, the New York
halter. had paid $50 FOR the first
Jenny Lind ticket
And wherever Barnum advertised
his concert ne advertised that fact
to show what great attraction he
was touring with. As a consequence
Gcnin's hats were in demand all
over this country. and he became
enormously rich.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

New York Press.
Temptation calls on you so often
that your terms with it soon become
very intimate.
Ii woman had mind it wouldn't
be of any use to her because it is
not thing she could wear.
It's awful tiresome to have to be
as bad as you feel you ought, to
live up to your reputation.
People hardly ever have bad
enough tempers to get in q rage with
the ones that deserve it-themselves.
If a man can't lose his money at

he can always have recourse to mar
riage.

Bad Weather.

The elements seem to have conspir-

as disagreeable as possible, and who
ever is unfortunate enough to be
compelled to go abroad is convinced
that the unrulv elements have sue
ceeded. On Wednesday night the
sleet and rain began to fall at about
dusk, and they froze to the ground
as fast as they fell. During the night
it remained cold and by morning the
ice was covered by thin coating Of
snow. The sky continues lower
ing and there is fair promise of foul
weather.
