an effort to escape, but as he ran the
smokestack came down with crash
and hurled him to the ground. 1t fell
across his neck, breaking 1t and
causing instant death. Mr.. Jet,
whose home was in this place had
been married just six weeks ago, to

In the Old Days When Children Were
Sent to War.
Among other improvements in the
art Of war as attained by the world in
these later days is the abolition Of the
practice of sending children to sea. as
was the case when the midshipmen of
the old "oak walls" of England often
were boys of less than fourteen years.
The Marquis Of Dufferin and Ava in
telling about the siege of Bomarsuud,
in the Crimean war. which he witness
ed from the frigate Penelope. related
this story Of one Of these little fellows.
What pleased me most during the
whole business he says. was the
gallant behavior OF a little midship
man. a mere child. thirteen or fourteen
years of age. About the time when the
fire became pretty hot happened to
come across him, and. as be seemed to
be as much out of job as myself, /
touched my cap and took the liberty Of
observing that it was a fine day. to
which he politely replied that it was
Encouraged by his urbanity. / ven
tured to ask him how long he had been
at sea, TO which he answered. 1 have
only left my mamma six weeks. but

as worth recording as many a one made
by more illustrious heroes. Soon after
this. however. a man was killed close

STRANGE. ISN'T III.

Republican papers are having all
sorts of spasms because the democrats
in congress have held party caucuses
on tariff and currency matters, and
are torturing their readers with all
sorts OF stories Of the horrible crimes
of the party caucus.
In the last few congresses where the
republicans had the majority, legisla-
ton was not submitted to anything
but the will of Uncle Joe Cannon.
This became so arrogant and impudent
that it was the cause of revolt among
the self-respecting republicans who,
with the aid of the democrats, brought
about partial reform.
The democratic party has been com.
missioned by the people to do Ger.
tain things and its Representatives in
congress are merely doing those things
which they have promised the people
they would do.
This fact has a paralyzing influence
upon republican journals, but theiI
complaints will do no good.
