A contemporary tells of a dead editor at whose funeral 677 delinquent
subscribers marched by and viewed
the remains. Of that number 676
muttered sadly. "He was an industrious, bright, and good man, but—he
couldn't save anything."
Thomas Terry of Clare, brought his
second wild cat skin within a year to
Clerk Rowlader last Tuesday, and got
a certificate for $3, the bounty allowed
jointly by state and county. The wild
cat bagged previously by Mr. Terry,
and for which he also received $3, was
the biggest one ever killed in this part
of the state.
An exchange says that it is a fact
well worth remembering to users of in-
candescant electric lights that broken
wires'in the bulbs may often be mended in a simple manner. By turning
the current on and shaking the bulb
the broken ends will often come together and the8 electricity will weld
them firmly, making them as good
. as new. Try this the next time you
have a broken lamp; it may save the
cost of a new one.
At twenty, when a man is young, he
thinks he knows it all; he likes to wag
his active tongue and exercise his gall;
he struts around in noble rage—the
world is all bis own; he laughs in scorn
the world of age, and lists to self
alone. He wears a window in -his eye
to see his mustache grow; he thinks
the ladies pine and die because they
love him so. At forty, as you may
, suppose, he buckles down to biz, but
Its not till sixty that he knows just
how bier a fool he is.
A man who chewed twenty cents'
woith of tobacco a week concluded to
try a tobacco cure. In two weeks he
Hto up $1.50 worth of candv, five cents'
wm ib of peanuts and Ave cents'woith
of cough drop-1. During these two
weeks he also consumed two large rubber eracers, ate the rubber tips from
fourteen lead r-encils, chewed up a
dozen pen-holders an*l browsed off his
mustache as high as he could reach.
He is now chewing tobacco in the interest of economy.—Ex.
When one hog gets an ear of corn
every other hog will trot along behind
and squeal and beg ind are ready for a
bite; but just let that hog get his head
fast in a fence and every other one
will jump on him and try to tear him
to pieces. Just so it is with men. As
long as a man is prospering and has
money he has friends. The moment
he is unfortunate and his wealtngone,
he is noo only snubbed by his former
alleged friends but they do him all the
harm possible. When a man starts up
grade the world falls .behind and
pushes; but when he starts down grade
the world stands aside and greases the
track.
Twenty years ago Henry Baragar, of
Greenville, kept a hotel at Hears,
Oceana county, and while there he
had a tiair of whiffletrees stolen. A
few days since Mr. Baragar received a
letter in which was inclosec3. a $12
check. The writer of the letter, who
now lives in "Nebraska, said he was the
thief, and had been converted and the
, Lord wanted him to pay for them.
He had made inquiries as to the value
of such articles 20 years ago and found
them to be worth about $2.50, but to
make sure, he valued them at $4, and
adding 10 per cent interest for 20years
sent the full amount, $12, for the articles for the purposeof giying his conscience ea9e.
A school girl recently defined the
word "kiss" as follows: **Kiss" is a
conjunction because it connects. It is
a verb because it signifies to act and
be acted upon. It is a preposition because it shows that the person kissed
Is no relation. It is an interjection,
at least it sounds like one. It is a pronoun because it always stands for a
noun. It is also a noun because it is
cbe name of the osculatory action. It
is quite common,fal.though proper and
always plural number. In gender it is
masculine and feminine mixed. Frequently the case is governed by circumstances and light. It should always begin with a capital letter, be
often repeated, continued as long as
possible and ended, with a period.
"Kiss," might be congugated, but
ought never to be declined.
When you come to think of it', Adam
aad Eve were very fortunate people.
Adam never had to run dead beats
tylth the house dog. He did not even
liavc to sit in the parlor and talk poli-
fcies with Eve's father, When Eve
-sHBibed a tree, Adam didn't have to
write letters and spend long hours of
anxiety and postage to make it up,
says an exchange. All he had to do
was to sit down under the tree and
wait till Eve's temper recovered its
normal sweetness. He never patronized confectionery stores; he plucked a
nice pine apple and presented it with
his compliments. Theirs was a beautiful dream of wedded life. When
Eve wanted a new dress Adam went
to the nearest fig tree and got it. And
Eve never felt called upon to mend a
bursted buttonhole or take all the
blame when he stumbled over a rocking chair. It was a monopoly of unadulterated comfort; and if Eve had
only had the feminine sagacity to lift
up her skirts and scream when she
saw the snake that time, we would
not be having all this trouble.
