Entered at the Jackson (Oa.) Post Office as second class mail matter. “You always seem ho jolly ; don’t you ever borrow trouble?” ‘‘No; the interest is too high.” A girl is never satisfied until the right man comes along and says the right thing at the right time. A Boston spinster has written a no vel which she culls ‘‘Paradise.” It contuins many more male than fe mulo characters. A California puper says that bad water ki Is a* many people as bad whiskey. Maybe it does, out we don’t have to buy it at fifty cents a pint. The Legislature is r.ot likely to make very stringent efforts to regu- Jato the ‘free pass evil” while they carry one in their pockets, lliero is no use in overdoing the thing no how. Tuko of! your hat to the man who says ti> the boys and the hired men, “YVe will tulk down here in the stable just as we do up in the sittingroom.” That man knows whore he is and What he is doing. A Now York lawyer who has mar ried 150 couples in the past year is planning to bring them together in a reunion. Sixty babies are also cordi diallv and urgently invited to attend. Important business. The statisticians have discovered that every live minutes a baby is born in New York. Two hundred bar rels of beer are drunk ovary live min utes in Chicago, and a divorce is granted every five minutes in Falls. About one man \a ten really makes things. The other nine live oil him. Of the nine, one operates on him, or tells him bow to get out of obeying the law, or teaches him how to save hiß soul; three govern him, but five Bell him things he doesn't want. The passage of the prohibition bill by the present legislature comfutes that charge made by Sam Jones, that “the legislature couldn’t pass a|bar toom much less a prohibition bi I.' ■When the people want a thing, and are reauy font they usually get it. t . - Tis a trifle risky. r- - - Boy’s! boys! Are you aware of the dreadful risks youruu in fooling with Bharp-teethed pretty girls? In a lec ture at Middletown, Conn., Tuesday Sight, Prof. W. D. Millar, of the I'ni veraity of Berliu announced solemnly that a bite of apretty girl would often bring a quicker und more terrible death than the bite of a serpent. Professor Miller,who has made a spec ial study of the bacteria of the mouth said that only a short time ago he experimented on a beautiful girl is Germany and found that an arrow dipped in saliva from her mouth would send Its victim to a death more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake. What risks we men have been taking Hakes us shiver even now. a r 'At breakfast when It was discovered Itliat the milk was sour little Jimmy bravely remarked. “I guess someone fcnust UaTe given the cow a lemon.” Don’t Misunderstand Us. An undue satisfaction seems to have been derived by certain parties from an editorial statement made in the Jacksonian last week. Said state ment was to the effect that The Jack sonian had lost business by its policy in inaugurating the reform campaign. This statement is true; we have lost the business of some business men in Jackson. But if we bad known that our evil wishers would take such a sol acing comfort from such a statement we would have gone further and said t lat where we had lost one dollar’s worth of business we had secured ten in its place—where we have lost the business of one man we have gained two worth a great del! more to us. We have also lost some subscribers, but where we have lost one subscriber we hsve added fifty to our books, and they are coming faster now than eve r . The people are just beginning to real ize that then is something in the fight we are making, and that if we succeed (wliicn wo will) it means an end toringrule in Jackson. One extreme fol=* lows the other. Reforms are good things and refoi m movements are all right when kept within the bounds of reason, but there Is not the shadow of a doubt that the reform movement that is sweeping over the country now is be ing carried to an extremity, and it more conservatism is not brought to bear it is likely to work an injury to the business interests of the coun try. YY r e believe that the bar rooms ought to be wiped off the face of the earth, now and forever, and we are in favor of any disfranchisement meas ure that will do the work, but we are not sure that so much railroad legislation will not, if persevered in, border on persecution. It is all well and necessary to con trol the rate and mileage charges but it should be done in moderation. If our solona would confine their efforts to an equitable reduction of freight rates, and leave the passenger rates alone thoie is no doubt that better results would be obtained. It follows as“,t matter of fact that every reduction in the earnings of the roads is followed by a cut in salaries of the hard worked employes of the roads who risk their lives ever,' day for the safety of those who ride. We presume that about the next thing wo hear will be a commission to fix the rate of interest that the hanks shall charge or the per cent that a merchant shall re ilize on the sale of his goods. And when you sift the matter down its about tit for tat. Wo predict that in five years there wont be reform sentiment enough in this country to excommuncate a deacon for getting drunk. Harvard Then a College of Children. In 1(585, when elected president of Harvard, the Rev. Increase Mather re fused to resign the pastorate of the North church In Boston for the sake of “forty or fifty children.” Therefore he used to ride back and forth from Bos ton to Cambridge, charging to the col lege the cost of shoeing and baiting his horse and mending his saddle. Many of these students ware but twelve or thirteen years old.—“lndividual Train ing In Oar College*,” by Clarence F. Birdseye. Naming the Baby. They were choosing a name for the new baby. “I think Esmeralda Is too sweet” said one pt the infant’s aunts. “Alfreds is better and more uncom mon," said another. “How would Alvina do?" asked a third. "Hardly.” said the fond father. “You scorn to lie getting away from the idea that this is a baby and hot anew kind of cigar.”—London Graphic, The Epitaph of Mary Lyon. In the grounds of Mount Holyoke seminary, overlooking the beautiful valley through which the Connecticut flows seaward, is a monument to Mary I.yon, the Massachusetts teacber who founded the college. On it is Inscribed n sentence of her own, “There is noth ing in thp universe that I am afraid of but that I shall not know and do all mr duty.”.. _ _ ........

With regard to the respective power of the right and left eye a well known optician finds a person occupied in writing all day has, as a rule, stronger vision iu the left. Writing with the right hand and his arm resting on the table, his left eye is nearer his work and its vision is more concentrated. Ingratitude.

The San Francisco Chronicle Is re sponsible for the following item in re gard to Nantes, France: Some years ago there was a private telephone system which the paternal government took over. After some years’ trial the government-has just received a petition signed by 10 030 persons, each of whom pays at least SSO a year for telephone service, re questing that the telephone system he sold to some private company, because under a private company they got far better service, were trented with polite ness instead of insolence and bad com plaints attended to instead of being ig nored. Naming the Future President. Some time since anew baby arrived at a home in this city, and when John ny, the little five-year-old brother, was sent on an errand to one of the neigh bors a few days afterward the good lady, of course, had to make the usual remarks about the gladful event •“I understand, Johnny,” said she, “that you have a little baby at your house.” “Yes. ma’am,” was the pleased reply of Johnny. “He has been there nearly four days now.” “Well, when he gets older you must bring him over to see me,” returned the neighbor lady. “By the way, has he been named yet?” "No, ma’am,” answered the youngster, “but I guess there will be something doing pretty soon, for when I left fa ther was looking over the list of presi dents, mother was going through the Bible and the nurse was hunting around in a history of the United States.”—Scranton Republican. A Bright Bird. The cuckoo is as likely to steal its nest as to make it. but this fact does uot take from the point of the follow ing pun. quoted from Short Stories: A young Englishman being asked at dinner whether lie would have some bird’s nest pudding, said, turning to bis hostess: “Ah. yes. Bird’s nest pud ding, and what kind of a bird may have made it?” “Oh, it was the cook who made it,” was her proipt reply. Not Always. “Remember, my boy.” said Uncle James as he gave Bobby a coin, “that If you take care of the pennies the shillings will take care of themselves.” Bobby looked a trifle dubious. “I do take care of the pennies,” he replied, “but as soon as they get to be shillings pa takes care of ’em.” —Lon- don Tit-Bits.
