The fourth of July passed off
with very few mishaps.
Even when a woman knows
her husband is lying she keeps
right on asking questions.

It is said that President
Roosevelt does not intend to
«
see everybody who wishes to
see him. This is sad.
Teddy was not at all shocked
when told of his nomination.
But, his greatest shock will come
m November.
It is said that a man who
parts his hair in the middie, is
apt to be found under the bed
while his wife goes downstairs
to interview burglars.
District attorney Folk of St.
Louis, should brace himself, for
presidential lightning is wander
ing ’round looking for a good
Democrat. -
Former President Grover

fishing trip with Joseph Jeffer
son down the bay.
Will the Vladivostok begin
advertising summer excursions
with a guaranty to show passen
gers a Japanese transport in the
difficult and spectacular act of
sinking, or money refunded?
Russian soldiers who careless
ly strolled up and peeped
over the breastworks, declare
that it is a mistake to think that
the Japanese are small, since
they are, on the contrary, the
tallest people on earth.
What is your idea of a truly
good wife?” asked the youth.
44 A truly gocd wife, »y answer
ed the Cumminsville sage, is
one who loves her husband and
her country, but doesn’t attempt
to run either. yy
It is announced that no more
silver dollars will be coined for
a while, but our joy is some
what tempered by the knowl
edge that 600 000,000 of them
have already come from the
mint and that nearly all of these
are congested in the South in
compliment to the wishes of
the “man and brother. yy
The large saw mill of the
West Yellow Pine Company, at
Olympia, Ga., on the Valdosta
Southern railway, was burned a
few days ago. The mill was
one of the largest in that section
and was valued at $50,000. It
is understood that the loss is
partially covered by insurance.
BAYONETS STUCK
IN THEIR MOUTHS.
General Oku makes the fol
lowing charges: On June 15th
six Japanese scouts were over
powered by Russian troopers
) who ran bayonets in their
mouths, in their heads and cut
; their breasts open; that on
27th the Russians eap
; tured a Japanese cavalryman
I whom they bayonetted and then
cut his abdomen open, On
May 15th the Russians behead
ed a Japanese cavalryman whom
they had captured.
General Oku asserts that acts
| of cruelty on the part of the
' Russian troops are numerous,
and announces his purpose to
report in the future every case
of it which is brought to his
notice. He says he feels that
he is not fighting a civilized
army.
Assoc : ated Press correspond
ents are unable to furnish any
facts in connection with General
Oku’s charges, because no neu
tral observers were permitted to
be present on the field at either
of the engagements which took
place at Wu Fang Tien and
V afangow.
Wanted Board With White
Family.
Indignant Girard citizens are
looking for Cary Smith, a negro
who behaved in a very unusual
manner in that city a day or
two ago, and if cought he will
be tarred and feathered.
He has rather light complex
ion and would ordinarily pass
for a white man. although a
close inspection would reveal
his race.
Going to to the home of Mr.
James Yarbrough, a well known
citizen of Girard and asking for
board. He was told that Mr.
Yarbrough was out of the city
and during his absence they
did not wish to take a stran
ger into the family. The fami
ly was annoyed by his persist
ence to get board there, but
didn’t dream that he was a ne
gro.
To a young man who boarded
at the house he said that the
young ladies there attracted
him and he wished to call on
one of them.
It was afterwards discovered
that Smith was a negro and
lived in Phoenix city. He was
arrested by the police in a bar
room and placed in jail, but es
caped from the guardhouse by
pulling off a plank from the
side of the building.
