A young woman who has weak
ness for novelties hns invented a
hew way of marking her belong
ings. Inrleiibie ink she scorned as
belonging to the distant pust, and
embroidered monograms and ini
tials she voted common pi ace. Ev
en the pretty device of embroider
ing her possession with her favorite
flower finally lost its charm, and
her latest fancy is to have her own
face produced. She has some tiny
and not unflattering photographs
taken, and they are now being
transferred to the corners of her
handkerchiefs, the bands of her
skirts, the capes of her collars and
all other plnces where the sign of
possession is usually fixed.—Buffa

Gov. Northen is making frequent
visits to different regions of the
state to speak in behalf of the edu

er himself and feels an unspeaka
ble interest in the educational de
partment of the state. He does
not confine his speeches to the
white schools only, but makes
speeches here and there to the col
ored teachers at the county insti
tutes that are held here and there
over the state from time to time.

One domestic cat, in my estima

the average dog the most over-rat

almost anything. Two or three
cats taught to stay about the barn

Every Man Enjoys
Not a Hypocrite.
The following from the editorial
column of the Washington Daily
News io one of the best temper
anee lectures ever written. It was
written by the gifted Walt Mason,
now on the editorial staff of that
bright, newsy paper.
“Several things are said of whis
key and a great many of them de
served; but it would be well to do
justice even to whiskey. It is de
scribed as a deceived ; but it would
be well to do justice even to whis
key. It is deserved as a deceiver,
as a tempter. Whiskey is eminent
ly fair and above the board, and
uses no deceit. It points its war
ning everywhere, and it is man’s
fault if does not profit by them.
Wherever you see rags, squalor,
wretchedness, you have encoun
tered one of whiskey’s warnings ;
when you visit the pauper’s corner
of the grave yard, and look upon
the nameless mounds, you find
them there; whiskey is fair; whis
key hangs its banner on the outer
walls, whiskey flaunts its emblem
atic skull and cross-bones in the
broad light of day; do whiskey
justice. The man who wrestles with
whisky will be downed ; no matter
how strong he may be or how many
tricks of the Graece Roman con
test he may know, sooner or later
his shoulder will go to the floor,
and the referee will award the dia
mond belt to whiskey. But whis
kay wrestles fair; it does not
gouge; it does not strangle; it sim
ply crushes its victim by superior
weight. Moral: Do not wrestle
with whiskey.

Spoony and Didn't Caro Who Knew It.
The newly wedded couple board

and a crowd of about a hundred
people saw them off. The groom
was a strapping young fellow with
sunburned face and hands and
bears grease on his hair, while the
bride might have been the “hired
gal” on the same farm. They had
no sooner taken a seat than he put
his arm around her and began to
caress one of her hands. A voice
in the rear of them cried out
“Spoons !” but the bridegroom gave
no sign. Pretty soon he pulled her
head over on his shoulder and there
was a titter from the rear of the
car. The head staid right there,
however, and Josh got both her
hands in his one paw. Three or
four voices cried out “Oh !” and
“Ah !” but it was fully two min
utes before he tenderly pushed her
away and rose up and looked
around and said: “We are mar
