Rules For Courfship.

A Pennsylvania pastor has laid
down some hard and fast rules for
courtship.
| lie does not approve Of the family
DESERVING the pnrlor when the young
man calls, nor does he permit of dark
corners or dim parlors.
The hours for calling should be
1 from $3.50 to 1890 aud with no addi-
tional half hours TO say goodby
He does not believe thatthe young
people should sit close on tho sofa so
engrossed in their happiness that
they forget the flight of time.
"Courtship,' he says, ais AS serious
IA proposition ~ the responsibilities
OF marriage. 1t should not continue
longer than seven or eight months.
! 1t is the duty of mothers to ascer-
tain the Intentions of young men,"
Now, this is precisely what the
worl has long needed. Courtship, 1t
must be admitted, is conducted most
erratically.
In no other convention in life has
there been permitted such free in
diligence OF individual fancy. A reti.
cence, mystery and II dim light
have been thrown about il from time
immemorial.
Parents frequently have decided
IDEAS concerning their daughters
courtship observances. But they
have little to say concerning their
own, Maybe their memories fail
them. Anyway. 1t Is different with
them They try TO make themselves
believe that times and customs have
changed since they did their spark
ing
But time works no changes In love,
and customs do not affect courtship.
Any movement TO reform other
peoples courtship il bound Ia be pop
ular, even If Ineffective. There IL no
more intense longing ia human ma
ture than to regulate the courtship
of other people--unless il be To con-
duct our ow'' az we sec flt.

Shocking Accident.

Sunday evening last three son:
and three daughters of Mr.. and Mrs
Reuben Ellsworth, who reside OF
what is Familiarity known as the
James Spensley place, one mile west
of this city, attended the Episcopal
church. They brough with them to
the top of the long hill which they
had to ascend TO get to town, n large

object was to use the sled for Il ride
down the hill on their return home.

led by Carl Healey, Jr. and Frank
Brewer, school chums and of this
place. Upon reaching the point
where the sled was rested, it was
brought into service. All, eight In
number, GOT aboard and off they
went down the hill at swift
pace. At the foot of the hill is the
large bride spanning the Pecatonica
river Just before coming to the
bride, and on the right hand side, are
some large stone or broken boulders.
AT this point the sled was going so
fast that it got beyond control and
ran against the side of one of
the large stones. The speed was so
great that the collision was terrific,
resulting in the breaking of the right
legs, near the ankle of both Elmer
Ellsworth, aged about eleven years,
and Ruben Ellsworth, Jr., aged about
seven years, while the remaining six
occupants of the sled received scars
and bruises on the right leg, some of
them severe and painful. young
Healy sustaining sprain which bad
ly cripples him. The break in the
limb of Elmer Ellworth was of such
a severe nature that the bones pro-
truded through the flesh. Luckily
one or two of the party were able to
pull the manned and crippled on the
sled to Mr. .Ellworth's residence. A
doctor was Immediately summoned,
and all that possibly could be was
done for the unfortunate young peo-
pie, who are now under the care of a
trained nurse from Milwaukee and
are in as favorable condition as
could reasonably be expected. 1t twas

The funeral Of Mrs. May Hutchi.
SON Correll, Of whose death in Ari-
iona the Tribune made mention last
week, which took place Sunday af-
ternoon, was beautiful testimony
of the love and esteem in which she
was held in this community where
her entire life had been spent. Lying
calm and peaceful in the casket that
had become her final couch, sur
rounded by those who had known
her intimately, the air laden with
the perfume of the silent but elo-
uuent flowers friends had laid upon
her bier with tepderest affection, the
last rites Of earth we're performed
with simplicity that was sublime
aud with sincerity that was more
expressive of the real farewell that
was in the hearts of all than could
have been the most elaborate cere-
mony possible to devise.
The home of her sister. Mrs. A. II
Potter, where the services were held
was filled to overlooking, and. not

to no uncertain degree, the street il

deceased, Mrs. Amy Crellen and Mrs

the south but it is an old one in the
north. There are not farm hands
enough TO 80 around and the shortage
means an unual recurrence OF worry
and loss. The reason for this is not
difficult to fin d but the remedy has not
yet been discovered. The cause is the
shifting industrial conditions, the
growth of the factory. Instead of being
satisfied TO follow his fathers footsteps
on the farm, many a young man
now comes TO town TO work in the mill
or store. The wages are higher. the
opportunities greater. the hours easier.
the respons Utilities less, the returns
quicker and in more negotiable form
The census returns show how the
population has dri fled toward the city
and there are no indications of turn
in the tide. Before the farm can have
a sufficiency of labor it must face the
competition of the factory and pay a
rate Of wages that compares with the
factory prices. To do that farm pro-
ducts must bring more money which
means that the factory employee. who
is earning the better wages. must give
up a greater share TO the farm worker.
or the farm worker will go to the city
and compete for greater share there.
