A Dude.

Friday morning we saw a Dude
at the H. & St. Joe depot. He was
a peach with a loud striped shirt
on, a coat four inches longer in
front than in the rear which give
him the proper stopped appear
ance, a straw hat that would fit a
five year old boy; his shoes were
wine colored, the right sock, hose
or stocking was green and the left
one blue; the right breeches, trous-
ers or pantaloon leg was pressed
with crease out, the left leg of gar
ment had been turned inside out
and then pressed, throwing the
crease inwards instead of outwards.

Stune George.

The scientific physicians in the
eastern hospitals are using bees to
sting and cure their rheumatic
patients.
George W. Tooley of this city had
the rheumatism in his right little
finger to beat the band and he
thought of the bee sting cure. So
going out to his bee hives he re-
moved a cap and inserted his hand
TO be stung, bur the bees only
crawled over the hand without
singing it. Finally one on the
wing went zip against his ear and
started to work. George forgot he
had hand, the rheumatism or
anything else but an ear and he
thought it was as large as an Ele-
plants ear.
George still has the rheumatism
for the treatment was applied tc
the wrong member.

A Queer Damage Suit.

Our note on the infancy of COM
penSation in the Middle Ages re-
calls the instance of a citizen of
Elizabeth's England displaying in
Spiration worthy of a workman UNI
der the present compensation act.
This genius was placed in the pill
lory by way of punishment, and as
the footboard of the pillory gave
way his punishment more than
fitted the crime, In fact, he was
left hanging by the neck in immi-
nent danger of his life. On being
released he Immediately brought an
action for compensation against
the town for the insecurity of its
pillory. And he won it. London

Referring to the habit some peo-
pie have of ignoring local papers
when it comes to printing which is
to be paid for the Centralia Courier
editorially says: "A Centralian had
a little job of printing done outside
of the city last week, because he
was such a good friend of both To-
cal print shops that he didn't care
to discriminate between them, so
he is reported to have said The
Courier desires to say.to him, and
to any others of his kind, if there
be such, that we yield to our con-
temporary. If you don't have your
work done at the Courier Office get
the Guard to do it. After the
Courier, we are for the Guard against
the world. Have your printing, all
your printing, done in Centralia.
Our quarrel is not with the man
who patronizes our esteemed con-
temporary, but the fellow who pat
ronizes neither of the local papers"
And the business man who goes
out of town places himself where
he cannot ask his home papers to
stand for him or his home people
to trade with him.

The Revolutionary War.

Lo, now the cannon laundering to
the sky,
The sickening fumes that scent
the heated air,
Recall the camp, and spread before
mine eye
The pitch of battle and the
triumph there.
The summon'd plowman grasps the
ready gun,
And swiftly strides across the
burrows sod;
The smith, ere half the heated shoe
is done,
Swings on in haste, and rides the
steed unshod.
The mason filings his glittering
trowel by,
And leaves behind the pale and
weeping few.
The miller's wheel above the
stream hangs dry,
While DER the hill he waves the
swift adieu.
Lo, all the air is throbbing to the
drum;
In every highway sounds the
shrilly fife;
And flashing guns proclaim afar
they come,
Where hurried banners lead the
way to strife.
Though rude the music, and the
arms are rude,
And rustic garments fill the mot
ley line,
Yet noble hearts, with noble hopes
imbued,
Thrill through the ranks with en-
ergy divine:
Thrill through the ranks until those
L sounds become
Celestial melodies from freedoms
lips
These arms an engine to strike des-
pots dumb,
And leave oppression bowling in
eclipse.
Then comes the struggle, raging
loud and long
The seven years battle with the
banded foes
The tyrant, and the savage, and the
strong
Grim arm of want with all its
direful woes.
Half clad and barefoot, bleeding
7 where they tread,
Where hunger and disease allied
cOnsort,
The pale survivors stand among
their dead,
And brave the winter in their
Snow-wall'd fort.
But heavier than the storms which
fold the earth,
Than all the ills which winters
hand commits,
The bitter thought that at the sa
cred hearth
OF unprotected homes some hor
ror sits.
, But God is just; and they who suffe
most,
Win most; for tardy triumph
comes at last!
The patriot, bravely dying at hi
post.
Hath rivaled all the Caears of tn
past.
