A HEROIC REMEDY
Since the Kaiser's sister has
advocated that a man abonldtake
a younger wife .after he reaches
the age of 45, some one else comes
forward and suggests that that
marriages bp pnt on the proba
tion order—say let the.oontract
be for 25 years, and at the end of
that time, they can either remar
ry or quit. It is held that this
wonld do away with the divoroe
evil. This is praotically the same
thing as the kaiser’s sister would
have. The woman is laid on the
- shelf after years of suffering, in
many instances, to give place to
younger and fairer women. It
makes us weary to see suoh stuff
floating around in reputable pa
pers as they are obliged to knpw
that suoh estate of afflaira could
never exist under any other than
a heathen government. The best
way to stop divorces is through
the medium of a friendly shot
gun in the hands of a wronged
husband. Make it somewhat dan
gerous for a brute in human shape
to cross the threshold to mar the
sanotity of the home. Had this
been done years ago, yon would
not find as many wrecked homes,
wife, husband and children gone
to the dogs, while the betrayers
are petted and honored by socie
ty. The above is a serious reme
dy, but it-,would, if.used properly,
save many a girl in the home,
and render uteless a good many
Grittenden homes for the fallen.
I A FINE 5ERH0N.
It was’ a pleasure on Sunday
night last to visit the Baptist
ohuroh and listen to a most in
teresting treatise by Dr. Young,
the beloved pastor oftbat eburoh
upon the “Seven Churches,
found in Revelations. He took up
the number 7, as used in Biblical
parlance and showed that it was
perfeot number. That its use
was to illustrate God and
man; that 8 and 4 are 7, mean
ing the Trinity (8) and the 4 cor
ners of the earth all an embodi
ment of Christ, he showed that
the entire era of the world's his
tory was divided into 7 ages ' be
ginning at-the oreation and end
ing at the judgment. He had
before him a painted chart which
described bis ideas to perfection.
The entire elaboration wds upon
this subject, and it seemed to
open the way or dear the puzzle
of that part of Revelation to
certainty, keeping in view all the
time the history of the world and
the fall of ages. This sermon
was exceedingly interesting and
instructive and we do not wonder
now why it is that the church
always well-filled, and oftentimes
to overflowing. This series of
Bible study will continue for some
time and those who would see the
mysteries of the Bible opened .up
to them clear and distinctly
would do well to attend.
There are five members of the
new oity counoil who are mem
bers of the Baptist ohuroh, and
this fact brings on more talk. It
is not our intention or desire to
mix religion and politios in our
last municipal election, l-ut as it
is well known that this denomi
nation is in favor of much water,
the meter farce will at last be
regulated. So mote it be.

whioh has been filled with col
umns of football and baseball
news, with acareheads galore, now
comes tb the front and reads the
same riot act that the Courier
has been reading for lol these
many years—that it was doing
the University an injustice to be
continually blowing these things,
putting the coach’s name in type
an inch wide, making people be
lieve that he was a bigger man
than the Chancellor, and that
he should happen to fail to show
up that splendid institution would
go to the devil a calahooting.
The only thing that has surprised
us is that this paper hasn’t asked
the legislature to appropriate
$4,000 ehair for the coach. It
must be understood that we arc
not kioking because this daily has
gotten on the Courier’s platform,
as they all do that if you give
them time. They usually slip in,
piok np the game we have killed
and run off with it; and then say
look what we have done. Bnt it
is all right, if they mean what
they say. They make the state
ment that too much prominence
is given by the dailieB of football
games and too little said about
the workings of the University
proper The very next day the
public was greeted with a double-
header relative to a recent game,
and we wondered if there over
, was a jewel known as consistency.

- It - is strange but true that hu
man nature it so constructed that
it is generally a delight, even in
childhood, to make somebody un
happy. Why not change the or.
der a while and turn in the sun
shine. We have seen and heard
of more of this lately than for
. many years.- Life is short, and
the party we would make unhappy
now may soon lie upon a bed of
languishing and death, and an
opportunity may not be given us
for reparation. As the glad days
of Christmas approaches let every
body make some one else happy—
it sometimes takes only a smile.
How the only real thing about
the war in the far east is that
skeletons have been reduced in

Unconscious Humo
There are some remarkable in
stances of unconscious humor in
the world. In a German ohurch
there is a painting representing
the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham.
In this picture Abraham is about
tb discharge a huge pistol at Isaac
when an angel descends and pours
a pitcher of water ou the pan of
the pistol, thereby saving Isaac.
In Rome there is an old painting
representing St. Peter denying the
Saviour and several of the Roman
soldiers in the’ background havi
pipes sticking out of their mouths.
Those who are on the lookout
for them will find many amusing
blunders in the daily papers and
in periodicals of all kinds,
great metropolitan daily one
morning gave its readers the fol
lowing information regarding the
wrecking of a ship the night be
fore: “The captain swam ashore
and succeeded in saving the life of
his wife. She was insured in the
Northern Marine Insuranoe Com
pany and carried a cargo of ce
ment." Equally am using as an
instance of unconsoions humor
was the statement made by an
other paper regarding the capsiz
ing of a boat at sea. It said that
‘bnt one life was lost, and that
was found afterward."
He must be sadly deficient in
humor who does not find himself
amused by a sign like the ( follow-
seen in the window of a 'shoe*
maker: “Any respectable man,
woman or ohild, can have a fit in
this shop." It was an enterpris
ing furrier who placed a card in
his window, stating that for the
benefit of the ladies he would
‘muffs, boss, eto., out of
their own skins."

“Negrophelites.”
For The Cornier.
Talk about the “color lino*! iu
the South, it’s-pretty badly fraz
zled if not eutirely broken. The
President did dine with a negro
’tie true, but he is a Northern
man and a Republican beside, he
had votes to make thereby, but
how about the'white Democrats
of . this section who dodge into tbe
negro restaurants Bud “cook
shops" of Athens and get their
meals?
You often hear a msu boasting
of bis honesty and in a few min
utes you will hear him brag about
gettina “bargain," boast of get
ting aome article for less than its
actual worth, getting something
for nothing, what moral difference
.is there between getting some
thing for nothing by sneaking it
out of a man’s pooket and getting
it for nothing by taking advan
tage of his mistake, hie ignorance
or his necessity?
Every person’s face is an index
to bis character; the cares, sor
rows and joys of life aa well as the
evil passious, loving and beuevo
lent thoughts and study passing
through the brain contract the
muscles of the face until after a
time the muscles become relaxed
and fail to draw the flesh back
into t.he plump and youthful
form. These human charts may
be simulated somewhat, hut never
with any great amount of success
and to the student of the human
face they are “as an open book.”
