First Paper in US.
Had Rough Sailing
PAMPHLET PUBLISHED IN 1890
CAUSED ARREST OF IT'S EDI-
TOR AT LONDON.

A little blurred white sheet, eight
inches by eleven, with heading Pub
lick Occurrences" no headlines, no il
Illustrations, old English scrip. each
paragraph a new story, omissions OF
all names in the various stories such
in brief is a description of America S
first newspaper, printed Sept. %, 1890.
Of this paper, which had but one is
sue, there is only one copy in exist
ence. 1t is preserved in the public
record office of the British government.
The paper was printed by R. Pierce
for Benjamin Harris at the London
coffee house.
According to one account, immedi-
ately after the appearance of the Pub
lick Occurrence the editor was arrest
ed and the copies of the paper confis-
Gated on the ground that he had failed
TO take out license.
The first page contained six real hui
man interest stories. One related how
the Christianized Indians had declared
a Thanksgiving holiday. Another
story reads: 1.-THE husbandmen, find
ing no want for hands, are having a
season which has been unusually fav-
orable to them"
Another story utterly ignores the
point which would be of greatest in
terest in newspaper of to-day. 1t
mentions no names, but tells how two
children belonging to a settler had
been stolen by the Indians.
However, the feature story, judging
from the amount of space given it, is:
"a Very Tragical Accident Happened
in Wassen-Town, the beginning of the
months, an old Christian, that was of
somewhat a Silent and Morose Tenn
per, but one that had long enjoyed the
reputation of a Sobir Man, having
newly buried his wife, the Devil took
advantage of his melancholy which he
thereupon fell into, his Wives Discre-
ton and Industry and long been the
support of his Family, and he seemed
worried with an impertinent fear that
he should now come to want before he
dyed, though he had very careful
friends to look after him, who kept
a strict eye upon him, lest he do
himself any HARM"
But one evening escaping from
them into the Courthouse, they found
him hanging by a rope, which they
had used to tie their calves with. He
was dead with his feet near touching
the ground"
The other shorter stories deal with
the health of the community. One
tells that "Epidemical fevers and Ag-
ues usually go through family where
it comes, and proves Mortal unto
many" while in the other story we
learn that 1.-The smallpox epidemick in
Boston has not proved so mortal as
when it ragged twelve years ago. =

WISDOM'S CHILD.

If man succeeds the world envies
him; if he fails it openly sympathizes
with him-and secretly rejoices.
One writer says that Satan's fall
was probably due to his having acct

1t takes the wasp to make a lazy
man get move on himself. All it
has to do is back up against him and
push.
The average man does just as many
queer things when he isn't in love as
when he is, but they are not quite so
conspicuous.
When trouble comes wabbling along
woman gives way to food of tears
and a man proceeds to tint the atmos-

The red rose whispers of passion
And the white rose breathes of love;
Oh, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is dove.

For the love that is purest and sweet

Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

KAISER SWEATS AT HARVEST
Cologne Volkszeitung Tells How the
Emperor Worked in ShirtsleeVes
With His Peasant Folk.

Amsterdum.-The story of the
kaiser working in the harvest fields is
told by the Cologne Volkszeitung as
follows
"Why do the people run? Willy do
they rush to the fields? To see the
kaiser. 1t is between 5 and in the
evening. The laborers are busy load.
ing their carts with sheaves. Sudden
ly all hands are idle; all caps are
doffed; everybody stands aghast.
"The kaiser is coming. The all high

for himself Gods golden blessing. AS
the kaiser does, so do the high officials
and officers. And look DO you not
see our imperial chancellor working?
1t is true! 1t is he.
with surprise the spectators behold
the kaiser wiping the sweat from his
brow with his sleeve. We see him sit
ting among the laborers drinking wa

he talks to the children. He asks
them to run across the stubbleteld and,
laughing heartily mt the enjoyment Of
the children, gives them litt& pres
