fit BUBBLES IN TOASTS. ie HnmoroM Sentiments PltlUlr A publisher once gave the following: “Woman, the fairest work in all crea tion. The edition is large, and. no man should be without a copy.” This is fairly seconded by a youth Who, giving his distant sweetheart said, “Delectable dear, so sweet that honey would blush in her presence and treacle stand appalled.” Further, in regard to the fair sex. we have: “Woman, abe needs no.eulogy; she speaks for herself.” “Woman, the bitter.half of'man.” In regard to matrimony some bach elor once gave/“Marriage, the gate through which' the happy lover leaves his enchanted ground and returns to earth.” At the marriage of a deaf and dumb couple some wit wished them, ‘'un speakable bliss.” ,, At a supper given to a Writer of com edies a wag said: “The writer's v£ry good health. May he live to be as t>ld as his jokes.” From a law. critic: “The bench and the bjir. If it were not fortlie(>ar there would be little use for the bench.” A celebrated statesman, while dining with a duchess on her eightieth birth day. in proposing her health said: “May you live, my. lady duchess, un til you begin to grow ugly.” “I thank you, sir” xj*e said, “and may you long continue your taste for antiquities.”—London Tit-Bits. recently received* from an indignant constituent, who had asked him in vain for a “billet’* (a job in . pdlitics), the following unique letter; DeerSur: .You’re a fraud, and you know it. I don’t care a rap for the bil let or fen; the money, either, , but you could have got it it for me if you wasn't as mean as muk. Two pounds a week ain’t any more to me than 40^8'hillin’s is to-you, but I object to bein’ made an in* ferail fobrof.. Soon as you was elected by my hard-working friends a feller wanted to betme that you wouldn't be ia the house more’n a week before you made a ass of yourself. I bet him a Cow on that, as I thought you was worth it then. After I got your note Bayin’ you deklined to ackt in the mat ter I druv the Cow over to the Feller’s place an’j tole him he had won . : her. That’sbrl I got by howling meself horse for you on election day, andmonths be- foar. You not only hurt a man's Pride but yon injur him in bizness. I believe you think you’ll get in agen. I don't. An’ what I don’t think is of moje con- sequince'than you imajin. I believe you take a pleshir in entti^.’ your ( best live times as many are on your side as are on the winning side. IZ you are inclined to be disgruntled, we invite' your investigation . into the minutest detail of the; manner of con ducting the contest. The records were kept in the most approved way, a double checking system being used, and these records are open to the inspection of any who care to look for themselves. Where there was a tie of’ numbers, it was of course necessary^ to abide by the laws of the contest and take them in order of their receipt. The counts were recorded and dated at the time of re ception at this office, and it ’can be un derstood therefore how the time of re cord may not be the houT Of mailing. Mail is subject to-delays and the count may not have reached the office until even several days after it was put in the post office. No partiality of any, description has been shown in the entire management of the contest. It is' unnecessary to say that the judges were utterly unbiased in the awarding of the prizes. The man agement of the paper knew nothing of what the correct count was until after sixo’olock Thursday night. The correct fount was sent by the patentee of the dots direct to Captain E. M. Smith and did not pass through our hands in any way. We are satisfied with the results at the advertisement. It has cost heavily in time^trouHe and monby, but Veterinary Hospital of Dr. J. C.

He may use the-weed as a lesser stimulant when not*'strongly under tbe influence of alcohol, but when the drink gets firmly intrenched in his systen^he.coreS nothing foistobacco, for then itnas lost Its force and its influence upon bis nerves. ’Of course I mean in extreme The city council has appropriated fif ty dollars to aid in the'erection* of a Georgia building at the World's Fair. That hundred will be money well spent. It pays to advertise. “On the other hand, it is a rather curious fact- that in the case of the moderate drinker, who also smokes, the cutting off of his supply of tobacco will increase his appetite for alcoholic bev erages, and while at first the liquor will hot affect him nearly* so much as when he is smoking, in tbe end it will do him up. Consequently it is safe to assume that the man who always used liquor and tobacco in moderation will, .if . he gives up tobaccoi take/more strongly to liquor. In fact, this, ia no assumption; it has been demonstrated on numerous occasions.”—Philadelphia Record. ALLEN NORMAL SCHOOL. A Few Words About ItaWorkand Its . .Closing Exereisas.

Ho more courteous judge ever pre sided at a trial than the' venerable for? mer justice of the New York court of common pleas, Charles P. Daly- The., story is still told among our New York lawyers bow on one occasion a young attorney, while trying a case, indulged in considerable vituperation of his op ponent’s witnesses, finally going so far as to answer the court very sharply when requested to modify his lan guage. Knowing that Judge Daly was some what of a stickler for the dignity, of thg judiciary, lawyers and court at tendants gazed at tbe offending attor ney in amazement. There was a long interval of silence. Finally the judge leaned over the bench and said, with hn ironical smile: ' “My young friend, before you are as old as I am you will have learned that it is about as well to read Chesterfield as Blackstone.”—Success.

The very latest and best Christinas songs were usedand much credit is due, both teacher and pupil for its excellent rendition.

Special men tion is due the -reading from “Dickens’ Christmas' Carol. ’’' The essays of the students of the upper grades showed considerable'merit.
