The late Joseph Livesey, 6 ia

the pioneers of the temperance
movement, is responsible for the
word ateetatalism,p Joseph Live
Sey, albeit a fluent speaker when
wound up to his subject, generally
began in a stammering and hesitat-
ing fashion, and indeed suffered in
some measure from a natural i'm
pediment of speech. From this cause
certain peculiarities of his diction
led the irreverent testers Of that
day to make no little fun out of his
illusions to the blessings of t-t-t-to-
tai abstinence. The word became
famous. T-t-t-total was in every
body's mouth, and finally in its
abbreviated form Of teetotal was
introduced into the Eng
fish language. The old joke is long
since dead, the result Of it remains,

SENS In verse


Tire stranger On the Sill.
Between broad fields Of wheat and corn
rs ne lowly home where I was born.
Ihe peach tree leans against the wall,
AND the. woodblne wanders over all;
, There Is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There Is the barn, and as OF yOre
can smell the hay from the open door
And see the busy swallows throng
Ana hear the peewee's mournful song.
But the stranger comes = oh. painful
proof
HIS sheayes are piled TO the heated roof.
There is the orchard, the very trees.
Where my childhood knew long hours Of
ease
And watched the shadowy moments run
TN my life imbibed more shade than sun.
Inc swing from the boughs stiil sweeps
the air,
But the strangers children are swinging
There bubbles the shady spring below,
With its bulrush brook where the haEels
grow;
Twas thsra I found the e6Iahans root
And watched the minnows polse and shoot
And heard the robin lave his wing
But the strangers bucket Is at the spring.
ON, ye who daily cross the sin,
Step lightly, for love II stu.
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest
sheaves
Have passed within that scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more T.
Deal kindly with these orchard trees.
And when your children crowd their
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart.
As II old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sport stIll leave the swing,
And In sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn. the trees the brook. the birds,
The meadows with their lowing herds,
The woodblne on the cottage wall
Ny heart Etiil fingers with them all.

Step lightly. for love Il still.

A CLEVER TRICK.
The Story Of a THEFT on a Mississippi

The Story Of Theft on a Mississippi
River Steamboat.
A dingy steamer was plodding
down the Mississippi, A boy sat
in the stern Fainly trailing for cat
fish in the muddy water. It was so
hot that all the other passengers
we're below asleep,
The steamer suddenly whistled, a
town of gray frame houses hove in
sight, and hot young man with a
big telescope valise" hurried up
the companiOnway.
"I'l get off here, captain" he
said.
"Your ticket amt for here" the
captain srOwled.
81 know, but Pye changed my
mind" said the youth.
A few minutes later he and his
telescope valise" were landed on
the worm eaten old wharf Of the
town of Cicero, and the dingy
steamer was Flooding down the nv
or again.
She had gone about a mile when
another young man rushed from be-
low wild eyed.
"My telescope he cried. "Some
one has stolen my teleyeOpel There
was $1,000 in itP
The captain started. He looked
back at Cicero, which now lay hid
den behind q bend Of the river. He
called the mate and told him to Gov
er the bow with some black tarpau-
lin, to move certain pieces Of cargo
aft and to tie some white canvas
around the smokestaek. Then he
turned the steamer around, and she
began to move up stream toward
Cicero again. She looked like diff
ferent boat.
At Cicero she stopped. On the
deserted wharf there was ene per-
son-the young man with tho tele-
scope, who had been landed there.
He leaped aboard now, the boat
warped out into the stream, and
then the captain appeared.
'Hellop said the captain. |
"Why, this is the same boat r.
The Young man trembled,
ut certainly is" said the captain
"and this, l reckon, Is the valise we
came back for"
He opened the telescope, and

money. The owner readily identi-
fed his belongings. The thief was

And opposite that literary lady sat

hitter and undying hatred which can
exist only between women who have
lived on adjoining floors in an apart

REDIsTRICITNG STATE
Question Will Come Up in the
General Assembly

The subject of redistricting vir-
GINA will come up again at the
session of the General Assembly
this winter, says the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. This subject,
which has afforded 90 much worry
ard so many perplsxities to Vir-
GINA Legislatures In times past
is one which will not stay settled.
The question is liable to arise eve
ry tenth year, upon the compile
tion of the Federal census.
The lines of the Virginia d Is
triets have rot been changed since
the last census was taken. No
'fair-minded man can deny that re-
distributing As urgently reeded,
ewing 10 the disparity in the size
cf the vo ting population. As
shown in the Times-Dispatch yes
terday the Fret, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Dis
tricts have each an average voting
population of thirty seven thOus-
and 81, 567, to be exact. The
other four districts in Virginia
have each an average voting popu.
lation of 1882. Were the State
districted SO as to have exactly
the same number of voters repre-
sented by each member of the
House of Representatives, each
district would contain a voting
population Of 44,484. Six of the
districts, as the lines are now
drawn, contain ON an average,
about eeven thousand fewer voters
than would. be contained in each
district were the State diStricted
with perfect regard to- the size of
voting population, and each Of
four contain, on an average, about
ten thousand more than eacn Ct
them should have, were an ideal
system of distributing adopted.
The Second District has vot-
ing population Of 1890. The
First District, which adjoins it,
haS a voting population of only
81, 1888, or nearly exactly half as
many. 1t must be clear t. every
one that in this case the voting
should be more evenly |
The Sixth District !
has about a hundred fewer voters
than the First, and the Fifth has
about a thousand less than are in
the Sixth.
There should be a balancing and
an evening up. Whenever the
subject of redistrlcting has been
brought up in the Legislature in
lines past, the cry has always
1een raised that an effort was
jeing made to make it impossible
'oF certain representatives to be
reelected. There have been good
grounds for suspicion that bills
lave been drawn with this end in
'iew. IL is extremely unfortunate
hat such influences should have
inspired the advocates of such a
ill.
A redistricting bill should be
ramed without the slightest re-
erenee to personality. 1t should
lot be aimed to help any man get
o Congress who is not there, nor
hould it be framed with view
o helping any man already there.
he single object in view should
% to obtain a law which would, as
early as possible, put the same
lumber of voters in each of the
en- districts, having some regard,
( course, to the desirabilitY OF !
aving similar interests 10 the
ame districts.
