Get the Money.

When the increase of the salaries of congressmeR
from So, 900 to ST. 500 voted upon in the house
of representatives last winter the proposition was
defeated by 1873 noes to 106 yeas, and yet the in
eventually agreed to through the conniv-
of the Republican speaker and Republican ma
iority. This accomplished by refusing to second
the demand for roll call when there was another
opportunity to press the increase proposition it
adopted without putting the mem oers oh record
who favored opposed it, The vote on the legisa
tive appropriation bill in December last is therefore
the only test of how the members voted The senate
open and above board and roll call dis
closed 2l senators voting against the increase and
ffty-three for it.
I5 was expected that when this fifty per cent in
crease n salary voted that the 20 cents mileage
for each mile travelled going to and returning from
each session Of congress would be modified To the
actual expense of the trip This graft however, lie
still collected and amounts to $1,000 for the bers
from the Pacific states and Others in propoiti
the distance travelled which is all out of with
the actual expenses, which do not exceed twenty per
cent of the smount paid by the government
After July l congressman will receive 1926 a
month as the salary for their clerks and as many
members do at employ any regular clerk such
this amount can be mostly added to their salaries
There are however, some members Who employ TWO
clerks and expend for clerk hire titan they re-
ceve, There is also another perqusite of congress
sional Office of S25 per annum for stationary which
lie rarely expended the official letter heads and
envelopes furnished free to each member of com.
mittee and the franking privilege most of such
expense. Then the government furnishes the large
Manila envelopes that used for mailing speeches
aud does the work of enclosing and sealing them free
Of charge, the member only paying for printing the
speeches
Some members Of congress have been known to
all their salaries and W. F, TyAdall who Was
retired at the last election as the member from the
Fourteenth District of Missouri boasted before eav.
ing Washington. that he had saved his entire salary
of 100000 He acted as his clerk and was en-
abled TO live in Washington on the money which he
drew under his clerk and stationery allowances

Honor Thy Father and
Thy Mother

Every boy should be taught to
honor his parents, for 1t isan old
saying, "what is a home without
a Mother9"
First, how are we going to prove
loyal to this cause. The answer
is, "Shun evil companions" For
with them we cannot walk in the
path of parental honor
Boys and girls, where are we
the best off, at home or out in the
world at the mercy of a supposed
friend9
Boys you think you can go from
your dear old home and earn
your own money and be inde-
pendent of father, but where does
it stopp Nine boys out of ten will
become penniless. You ask why Is
it that boys who stay at home
proves success, while the wanderer
fails? That is plain. The hoy who
stays at home gets his board and
clothes nor does he need TO worry
about his job. And when night
comes he can go home and find a
comfortable bed, lay his head down
on soft pillow and rest.
Where is the .other boy? Work
has stopped, he is out of job and
has to leave his boarding house
because Of inability to pay his
board and thus lie becomes
beggar, no friends or home to en-
bosom him
Tank for an instant. Your dear
old father labored hard to keep
you when you were only little
child and as you grew up en-
deavored to give you good
schooling. He would work hard
those cold winter days while you
were in school idling your time
away.
| Your dear old mother would
have died for your life, yet what
thanks do they get after it all.
My young friends, we have no
trouble. We are seeing the
happiest time of our life at home,
while some of them are wandering
alone until at last weighed down
by beggarness, he becomes a
drunkard and from that to thief
or a criminal. o! dear young
friends, you know the punishment
of that. Then you begin to real
ize your desolation OF friends.
You look to your punishment with
horror.
How is father and mother bear
ing it? You say, wish was at

General Grosyenor Observes.

We discover in the Cincinnati Enquirer few OBJ
servatons by our worthy Sage of Athens, Gener-
al Grosyenor, tending 10 point out the path suc-
for Democracy. That is joke When one
General Grosyenor pauses moment to tell the
Democratic party what course to pursue, to win,

Former Congressman Grosyenor s not for the benefit

will get licked anyhow, but it would be so nice for
them TO do as he says and get licked worse. How

Marion

The remains of Mrs. Elizabeth
Kistler who died at the Athens
Hospital, April 80, were brought
here May 5, where the funeral was
held at the Mt Zion church of
which she WAS faithful member.
Considering the short notice, a
very large crowd gathered to pay
their last respects to modern
Dorcas. We talk of each others
faults, but it is bard for us to see
faults in those We love. If Mrs.
Kistler had faults, they were COM
pletely hid from the observation
of your scribe. 1t would be hard
to find person in Marion, who
has more friends and fewer enc
mics than she. For' the past
eighteen months we have been
hoping ag ainst hope that she
would recover. How we longed to
reach out and stay the awful dis
ease that had fastened itself upon
her. but we were powerless.
Now that the Grim Reaper has
blasted all our hopes, we are glad
that we have an unwavering faith
that she is sweetly resting where
all the harbors, trials troubles and
storms of life are DER. She lived in
this world go years 6 months and
IL days.

TONS OF PRECIOUS STONES.
Estimate of Output OF damon
Mines Throuubout tba Wo,la

Estimate of Output OF Diamond
Mines Throughout the World.
Like all precious metals and stones.
the unit Of weight usually employed in
regard to diamonds Is the carat, of
whicA 1914 go to make up single
ounce. 10 think of sacks of diamonds
by the ton staggers the Imagination;
indeed, the average annual output OF
the Kimberley mines Is not more than
half ton all told.
Statistics have been published recent
ly at Cape Town giving the output for
several years past of the Kimberley
mines and the river dlggiugs. These
yielded In the three years 1903-O5 near
ly 7,25O,OOO caEats, 'ay, ton and a
half. The monetary value Of these dia-
monds was f14,450,0O0.
Since the first diamond was dlscoy-
cred on the banks of the vaal In 1867
down to the end of 1906 1t is estimated
that the total weight of diamonds ex-
tracted from tie Griqualand mines Is
over thirteen and half tons, of mar
ket value of fully f95,OO0,0OO.
If statistics of this sort can be trust
ed-and In the case of the South Afri-
can yield they closely approximate to
the facts-only seventeen tons of din
monds had been mined all over the
world to the end of 1901. With the
same relative output since that year
from Brazil and India the worlds out
put of diamonds Is now more than
twenty tons.
The figure seems small, considering
the ages diamonds have been worked
In India and elsewhere In the East.
and must be largely guesswork With
respect to the output in antiquity. Ii
Is, however, certain that more dia-
monds have been placed on the n ,rket
In the last forty than In the previous
thousand years-Pall Mall Gazette.

A BOSTON EARTHQUAKE.

d
Few cities have had experiences
which will bear comparison with that
of San Francisco and Kingston, but
Boston INDUCED once in little shake
of its own, conducted on modest prin-
ciples, yet spreading disaster and the
sense Of terror. On Nov. 18, 1855, "a
little after on a serene and pleasant
night" Boston was reused by an earth
quake which lasted nearly five min
utes. A writer of the times gives an
account of the catastrophe, and Rev.
Henry White quotes it in his early
History of New England"
One hundred chimneys were leveled
to the roofs of the houses and fifteen
hundred were shattered In part. The
streets were covered with bricks which
had fallen. The ends of brick houses
were thrown down.
1t was first introduced with a noise
like several coaches rattling over pave
ments, or rather like many cart-Ioads
of paving Stones thrown down. The
first motion was strong pulsation,
which threw my house upward, imme-
diately after tremor succeeded, then
Instantly quick vibration with sudden
jerks followed.
The first view l had was of the
steeples of the churches, and was glad
to see them standing, but the spindle
and vane of Faneuil Hall Market were
thrown down.
Many persons ran into the streets,
shrieking with apprehension of its be-
ing the last day or the judgment, and
some thought they heard the last trum-
pet sounding, and cried for mercy. The
beast creatures lowed, the birds fut-
tered in surprise, and all the animal
creation was filled with terror. Every
face looked ghastly and many knees
smote together. Never was such
scene of disaster in New England be-
fore
