If Sheriff Steen imagines his expose
of Mr.. Horch's illiterate letters are
interesting to the reading public, he
is greatly mistaken.
Too the small mentality the duties
of county sheriff require. Mr.. Steen
has added the physical accessories
of-big feet, big ears, and a broad
chest; these are probably the chief
assets in his possession which qualify
him for the office.
1t cannot be contemplated that Mr.
Steen would be the stellar attraction
in body of college professors.
Mr.. Voter of Wayne county will
you vote for a man who would violate
the confidence of business letters,
simply because of mis-spelt words,
and hold them up before the public,
in derisive ridicule. that the garbage
gatherers of scandal might fatten
upon the unfortunate ignorance of a
fellow-man?
Mr.. Steen. If you continue your
correspondence with the Dutch"
don't make a joge of yourself, and
abuse the decency of your office by
publishing private letters; it does not
indicate good breeding or business in
telligence on your part, and the pub
lie does not want that kind of liter
allure.

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Il U,ed to Be RudeIy Interrupted Ir
OIden Times In England.

Oiden Times In England.
One John Ridge is on record as hav-
ing bequeathed to the parish OF Try
suI. in Shropshire. England. 20 shil-
lings year to be paid to "A poor man"
employed to go about church in sum-
mer to keep people awake.
At another English church. that OF
Acton. in Cheshire. it was the practice
during the middle of the last century
for one of the churchwardens to pro-
coed through the church during service
with a huge wand in his hand where
with IL any one Of the congregation
were observed to be asleep he was in
stantly awakened by tap on the head.
In Warwickshire similar custom
prevailed. A warden bearing a stout
wand shaped like hay fork at the end
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and the aisles. and whenever he
saw an individual asleep he touched
him so effectively that the nap was
broken. this being sometimes accom-
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape Of the neck.
A more playful method obtained in
another church. The beadIe went about
during service carrying a long staff. to
one end of which was attached a fox's
brush and to the other knob. With
the former he gently tickled the faces
Of the women sleepers, while with the
knob he bestowed sharp rap on the
heads of male Observation-Disclosures.
