A woMAN's HEART HURT

Mrs. Morris Chumley OF McHenry,
is bit heart sick. No, her mother
has not recently died. no reverses OF
fortune have occurred nor has ia
vored poodle strayed from home. 1t
all came about through a mixup in
rugs. Mrs. Chumley ordered from a
mail order house a moderate priced
rug for use in her dining room. but
behold! when the rug arrived II was
a thing OF beauty and a JOY forever
Colors richer than gold and prettier
than roses adorned the wonderful
floor covering, and Mrs. Chumley
said nay to using this Persian pro-
duct on the floor of an humble dining
room She rolled It with creaseless
care and supplying the necessary
moth balls, hung 1t in the garrett
to await the time when her husband
had made his fortune--as all young
married women expect their husbands
TO do--when she would lay the rug on
the floor of palace to please the
eye and excite the envy of her
visitors. But the good woman was
rudely awakened from her pleasing
dream Another lady OF the town
had ordered parlor rug and the
pesky> clerk at the distributing house
had crossed the shipments and that
is the justification for the healine OF
this story.

WEDDINGS possUM SUPPER

Our old friend. Frank Wallace of
Rosine, was in Hartford few days
ago and reported the possum crop
numerous and well persimmon ripen-
ed in his community. Mr. Wallace
proposed to furnish the possums If we
homefolks OF Judge Weddings would
supply the sweet taters and that We
would entertain the Judge with a
possum supper few nights after his
election, which everybody regards as
a certainty. We promised the hearty
corporation of Hartford citizens, who
delight in nothing so much as to see
the Judge eat possum.

LOUIE is DEAD

To the newspaper mans lot 1t falls

The task is usually a perfunctory one.
accomplished with due respect. but
without personal feeling Yet oc-
casionally he must mention death
that has something in its relation OF
personal sadness, and it is with such
feeling that the writer undertakes to
mention the death Sunday night of
Louie Barrett, a coloreG man Of
Hayti. Louie had fought none OF
life's great battles. won none of its
great victories, but had, i'm his sim
pie way, played humble but use
full part in the role in which nature
cast him. Louie's traits were not
all virtues. and maybe there are
those who will but grudgingly grant
him the virtues we impute him, but
We are writing from our point OF
view, not theirs. Louie's first SER
vice to the writer, an honorable one,
was given now more than a quarter
of.a century ago, and through all the
intervening years he had ever greet
ed us with a welcome smile and per-
formed with pleasure any seI'vice we
have asked of him. We care little
what others may think OF the now
dead and gone Louie; he was our
friend and We sorrow at his going.
