HOW TO CATCH THEM.

Many a day 1 have chased birds
trying to put salt on their tails. 1 was
told If I could do this could catch
them. After a while I began distrib-
uting the story and quit trying. But
the story was true Had the birds al
lowed me to get near enough to them
to put salt on their tails 1 could have
caught them. 1 have become skeptical
on many things but still think that
if 1 can put salt on a binds tail 1 can
catch it. Birds never let me get near
enough to see but I know the formula
is all right. In my life I have tried
many things that 1 could not do but
do not blame it on my early training.

on a birds tail 1 could catch it and

CHILDREN,

CHILDREN.
Dlo you ever send your children away

this advice: Don't
You may flatter yourself that you
are going to accomplish great things

After the first excitement of getting
them on on the train is over, you settle
down to the real business on hand.
congratulating yourself on the still
ness But pretty soon the silence be-
comes so noisy as to distract your at
ture creaks. Strange sounds invade the
stiffness. Away off somewhere you
hear boy whooping, and try to shut
out the sound. You tell yourself that
the noise of that whooping makes you
nervous and creates an inclination to
weep.
Then your glance encounters mat
ted haired doll, lying neglected on the
floor. Near by is a little rundown at
the-heel slipper that has been drop
ped.
Thinking to regain your equilibrium,
you start out doors. The passage
through the house is fraught with so
much meaning. There child's book
has been dropped near a chair. On the
table are some roughly drawn pictures
and a childish scraWl. And the house
is so still You can hear your heart
beat. When you reach the door you
hear, in a neighbours yard, the voices
of happy children at their play. And
then you know! 1t is your children
the noise and the disorder. 1t is that
part of you that went out of the house
when they left, and without which no
poem can ever be written; no song can
ever be sung.-Mrs. FARRELL in the Hol-
ton Signal.

Rome, Sept. 24.-Bound to
the claPpcr and crushed to
death in the biggest bell of the
famous Malaberge chimes, the
parson OF the church from where
the bells sounded paid horribly
this week for wrecklng the home
of the ringer who compsssed his
punishment.
The murderer, still chuckling
over his victims fearful ending,
awaits trial in the Malaberge
prison. His wife has gone
mad with horror. Divided
between their tealing-ccmmon
to ltalians-that credit rather
than blame attaches to 4 deed OF
vengeance by a wronged hus-
band and repugnancs at the
hideous nature otthe punishment
even in dying man, the will
ayers hardly know whose side to
take.
Against the pastor there is
but one witness-the ringer OF
the chimes. Going to the
church loft TO sound the bells
for the usual service, he surpris-
ed his wife and the pastor, he
says. The wife, the first to see
her husband, escaped. The
pastor stumbled, however, as he
rushed for the ladder leading
down from the loft and before
he could recover himself, the
bell-rlnger had seized and tied
him hand and foot, then binding
the helpless man firmly to the
clapper of the principal bell, he
began to sound the chimes furi-
ously.
The murdered mans blood,
streaming upon them from the
bell tower, conveyed the first
news of the tragedy to the con-
grepation. Hurrying up the
ladder to the left, they found
the pastor with nearly every
bone in his body broken and
the ringer still madly crashing
the bells.

MICHEL A GOOD LAWYER

That Louisiana will abandon the
fee system when the legislature
meets next summer can no longer
be doubted. On every hand the
system has been frowned down in
favor of the more sensible salary
from Governor down to Constable
Secretary Michel, in a lengthy
communication to the people of
Louisiana rendering an account of
the administration of his Office
during his incumbency, declares
emphatioally that Louisiana has no
longer any need for the fee system
and advocates placing the Secretary
of State, as we'll as other offices,
on a straight-out salary. Mr.. Mi
chefs views seem sound, and the
splendid aud business-like execu.
ton of the duties of his Office, as
we'll as the elevation of it to a
most f1attering point of efficiency,
will always stand as a monument
to his ability, skill and vigilance.
He has made Louisiana a splendid
officer, and we are glad to see that
he has come out fat-footed in the
advocacy Of the abolition of the fee
spstem, one of the last relics Of
Republican misrule and scala way

There are three great stumbling
blocks ahead for the practical
young man who has his feet upon
the ladder and is beginning to rise.
First, drunkenness, which, of
course, is fatal. There is no use
wasting any time on the young
man who drinks liquor, no matter
how exceptional his talents. Sec
ond, speculation. The business Of
u speculator and that Of manufac-
turer or man of affairs are not only
distinct, but Incompatible. The
man OF affairs should go forward
steadily, meeting the market prices.
When there are goods to sell, sell
them; when supplies are needed,
purchase them, without regard to
the market price in either case.
We have never known q specula-
tive manufacturer or business man
who scored permanent success
he is rich ons day, bankrupt the
next. The third stumbling block
Is akin to spaculation--endorsing

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change q
few years OF married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form OF Its
fairness.

acting. Experience teaches that a
man who has not the courage of his
own convictions at home lacks that
strength aud fearlessness without
which he will shirk responsibility
as your representative.
"But, my fiiends, by what fair
rule Of action, are all other men
required in the interest of good

in political discussions, while | am
deprived of the same right, or re.
lieved of the same duty resting up

course of the weakling and the pol
troon, who while others are striv-
ing for good government, hides be-
hind the honors conferred upon
him, and shirks the duties that
should rest more heavily than ever
upon him by virtue of these honors.
"Good government is ss neces-
sary to us at home as it is in our
State so it is in our country. To
advocate it is debt we all owe our
country. No one is above that
duty. There is no more room in

poses my views of good govern
ment, and whose loyalty to the
Democratic party, which has ele-
vated him to the Office of Sheriff,
| have every reason to question:
My conception of my duty to my
party, is that should not permit,
if within my power to prevent,
power and oversabundance of en-
oluments to be placed in the hands
of any man who does not scruple
to use both that power and those
emoluments to the underhand de-
feat of other nominees OF my party.
The leaders or those who say they
will hereafter oppose me for exer-
cisiug the same right they claim
for themselves, may deseive others,
but they do not deceive me. The
real difference in the past perform
