Lets ull get together and begin
to pull for anew era in Barn*s
ville.
The chronic kicker will finally
get hi 1 - reward—in that land of fire
and brimstone.
Next Sunday is Mastr —the day
of new hats and spring dresses.
Will it rain is a question of the
hour?
It is'ineonceivahh* to any one
who has not handled, so much
money, how a man can steal as
did young Sims in Atlanta last
week.
A young man in Richmond.
Va., sat down on a gasoline and
afterwards struck a match on his
trousers. Evidently he pants for
death.
If a man would make as much
garden in April and May as he
does in his mind during February
and March, the vegetable market
would go to pieces.
Why not invite Gov. Terrell and
staff and their uniforms tA
Chautauqua this year, we would
like to sec* one of them rigged out.
in its paraphernalia.
t A Pennsylvania small boy has
quite satisfactorily answered the
long standing question : What is
a home without a mother?” He
thinks it is an incubator.
The farmers of this section are
taking advantage of every day to
put in some good work on their
lands as they are already badly
behind with their preparation.
After you have provided the wife
of your bosom with anew Easter
dress, it is a little like having it
rubbed in to be told that your last
summer's suit can’t possibly
expect to be seen at chuach with
it, truthfully remark a fellow suf
ferer.
The Gritlin news says: A
Bartlesville man sent the follow
ing testimonial to a pa Lent, medi
cine company: “Dear Sir—My
Wife took it bottle of vour medi
cine ami died. I am married again,
please send me another bottle.”
Who is it?
The east* of young Sims in
Atlanta is not anew story 1y any

It is estimated that it will take
40,000 men ten years to finish the
Panama Canal. The climate will
be the most serious obstacle in tin 1
way and many thousand will die
before the ditch is finished.
Hereafter no Chicago girl need
be without a beau or an escort,
unless by choice. She can now go
to the telephone and order a beau
for the morning afternoon or even
ing. just the same as she would
order a block of ribbon ora bottle
of piekles. And she can order
just the style of beau she wants, to
match her complexion, or her
new frock, or lmr “confection’* of
anew hat. There arc to b * had

A CHRISTIAN
AT WORK.
An engine bumped against some
empty curs in the early dawn of a
winter morning. A boy who had
slept in one of them was thrown
dazed and bewildered against the
; door, which he had closed when
he crawled into the car the night
before.
Jiißt then a brukeniftn thrust
his head into the car and reached
for his jacket, which he supposed
■ was hanging where lie left. it. He
was somewhat surprised to find a
boy on it, and took it from him
without ceremony.
“Now you get out of here,” he
said, thrusting the hoy from the
door. “If I catch you in one of
these cars again I’ll give you to
u policeman.”
“What’s he been up to Bill?”
said a man who was putting some
freight in next the car.
“Fp to my coat,” he said, giv
ing it a vigorous shake as he walk
ed away.
The boy looked dirty and de
jected as he limped along by the
i side of the track.
The man who had spoken call
! ed after him.
“Hello there I Do you want a
jjol).
'Pile boy turned back quickly.
“If you’ll help me load them
; firkins I’ll pay you for it; but
| you’ll have to work spry.”
The prospect of a little money
I brightened the boy, and he set to
work in earnest, though he was
stiff, cramped and hungry.
Do you live around here?” ask
ed the man.
The boy shook his head.
“In case we should want to hire
a boy about your size, can you
give me any recommendation as
to your character?”
The hoy’s face flushed, but he
made no answer. The man watch
ed him narrowly, and when the
car was loaded handed him twen
ty-five cents, saying:
I “We’re short of hands in the
freight room. Do you think you’d
like the job?”
“Yes, 1 would like it.
The hoy’s face was almost pain
ful in its eagerness, as he follow
|ed the man into the freight
j room.
■ “Now,” said the freight man,
seating himself on a box, we ll
have a hit of talk before we get
to business. I don’t know any
thing about, you, except you’re
cold and hungry; you look that.
But 1 think it. is likely that you’ve
got into some scrape, for if you
hadn’t, you wouldn’t be loafing
about stations and sleeping in
freight cars.

you’ve done anything wrong, hut

The boy answered faintly that
he would try. He was taken into
the freight-yard, and was under

that he told him his story.
There was trouble and dishon

two years the lad proved himself
faithful and trustworthy in his
new occupation. He was then
advanced to a more responsible
position, but there was something
almost pathetic in his devotion
to the man who had befriended

Everything appears to be quiet
in and around our little town at
present.
There has been recently in our
town several on the sick list, but
are now considered convalescent.
Mrs/ Caroline Elliot who is 75
years of age, and who has been
an invalid for 85 years, still lives
and yet is as flippant with the
tongue as a Philadelphia lawyer.
It is now generally conceded t hat
the peaches were nearly all killed
by tin* severe freeze we had in
February.
The weather has been unfavor
able for farmers to prepure their
lands for planting and yet they
will have ample time to plant.
We are in favor of the Panama
canal, believing that it would add

this country, and also prove a
blessing to other countries. Cncle

“an editor’s days are long and full
of snags. Little thanks and no pay
are his lot and he must be thankful
if other people suffer him to
breathe the same air they do. Did
you ever notice the man \fl-ho
speaks of “the little one-horse
