SOME CLIPPINGS BROKE HIS NOSE >lr. E. L. Stacy; head butter mak er at the Ravenna Creamery, sustain ed a serious and painful injury,Mon day morning, while engaged in the ordinarily safe and peaceful occupa tion of splitting kindling wood. He was in the act of breaking up boards with a one-inch iron pipe, two or three feet in length. Mid way of the pipe was a joint, which suddenly gave way and the loose end flew up and struck him in the face with force sufticent to break the bridge of his nose.—Ravenna News. ■ --»■ • ♦ —— — HE DIPPED HIS PEN The country editor often has to earn his potatoes and cabbages, but never more than when there is a marriage in the household of one of his subscribers. The editor ot the West Point (Miss.) Times, dipped his pen in ordinary ink to write what follows (what might have hap pened had his pious wish been ful filled is hard to imagine.) “Would that my pen had been plucked from some beautiful bird of paradise and dipped in the eyes of :> rainbow, that I might fittingly describe the beautiful marriage scene enacted at the residence of Mrs. E. V. Braswell, No.401 St. Anthony street Mobile, Ala., on the evening of February 23. Just as the day god, clothed in majesty sublime, had w ithdrawn his galaxy of quiv ering, golden beams from all the earth and wafted a g’ood night kiss to the young evening, who was fast approaching with her cloudless brow mounted by a crown of jewel ed stars—it was then that the cords of confidence, hope and love, bind ing the hearts of Hiram J. Hruister and Mary Elizabeth Braswell were indelibly traced upon the scroll of life and the sacred seal of holy mat rimony placed thereon.” AN INDIANA MATINEE W. F. Mason hands us the fol lowing clipping from his old home paper at Cannelton, Indiana, The Enquirer, which, while not of a news nature, is about as good para graphing on the subject as one could Hud to read of a satiracle kind. It won't hurt you to read it and it is a pretty good representation of the wot and brains of American para grahhers: . Last Sunday afternoon in Hawes* vilie, Alfred Lander and Rud Slanghter, two gentlemen with com plexions the color of Henrv Schlem mer’s choc-late drops, got tangled up in a little difficulty that put Lander to the bad for awhile. It is not known here whether the trouble arose over a seven on an eleven, but it came to pass just the same. Slaughter drew his lead de pository from the bosom pocket of his trousers and transferred four shares of preferred stock into Lan der’s sub-treasury. Three of the four were accepted and one rejected, which left Lander looking like the rays of a morning sun playing leap frog with the man in the moon. The doctors have located the missing mine product in Lander’s anatomy and returned a verdict that lus chances to sell his vote this fall were equal to Slaughter’s who is tied up in the Hawseville jail for “shoving the queer.” The job of perforation on Lander is an good as could have been expected consider ing the time in which Slaughter had to act. The sunshine now peeps through Lander in three places and if he is permitted to make his home in Hawesville for awhile longer the water works plant over there will use him for a strainer on the suction pipe at the pump house. The “shootee” ami the “shotat” have been serious propositions for Ilawes ville for a long time and both have had it coming to them for a period dating through the ages of several annual calendars. Lawsuits in India They have a way of settling law suits in India that it would be well to copy here, according to the Springfield Republican. When a dispute arises over the ownership of land, two holesare dugnear together and the two opposiug lawyers nicely planted up to their waists. The first one to become bitten by a bug or becomes so exhausted that he has to be exhumed loses the case for his client. This does away with unnec essary talking, a*:d adds .an interest ing element of chance to the game. —Ex. A Comparison The following clipping is taken from one of our exchanges who says that the author is unknown: The difference between an editor and a doctor is that if an editor makes a mistake he has to appolo gize for it, but if a doctor makes one be buries it. If the editor makes one there is a lawsuit, swearing and a smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and the smell of varnish The doctor can use a w'ord a yard long without knowing what it means but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doe'or goes to see another man's wife lie cgarges for the visit, but if the editor goes to see another man’s wife he gets a charge of buchs.'ot. Any old med ical college can make a doctor, but can't make an editor. He has to be born. When a doctor gets drunk its a case of overcome by heat, and if he dies it is heart trouble; when an editor gets drunk its a case of too much booze, and if he dies its a case of delirum tremens. Warniug to Young Girls The following timely warning is sent out to the young girls over the country by the St. Louis Advocate with a request to the country pub lishers to give the same publicity: “We would be glad to impress upon our brothers of the country press the great dangers that lie in wait for the multitude of young girls that are flocking to St. Louis, and notably at this time. The country press is a tremendous power for good and if they could keep this matter before their readers, constantly warning all as to the open door to ruin, many might be saved who else were lost. The gateway to St. Louis is the great union depot which is beset with 3 thousand snares for unwary feet. Any young girl who ernes thro’ the gates into the midway is at once spotted, and if It be possible the snare will so be spread in hei path that she cannot escape. No girl should come here unless absolutely certain as to her course. The many tempting advertesements are often mere daUs for ignorance and inno cence And if she comes to the city ready to enter the first carriage; whose driver proposes to take her to a good cheap hoarding place, or to accept the first situation offered where “no experience is required” she may as well bid adieu to inno cence and hope when she leaves her home. And as a matter of course, the young man is almost equally ex posed as far as moral or even physi cal safety is concerned. If the country papers will keep these things before their readers they will serve God and humanity.” For Old Timet’ Sake. For the sake of the dear old times, dear. Let us meet as we used to do; Let us wander across the meadows. Where the skies are always blue;. Let us meet In the soft sweet twilight To the sound of evening chimes. Let us talk and sigh as we used to. For the sake of the good old times. For the sake of the dear old times, dear. Let us wander away and away; Let us count not the hours fleeting, But let love have all time in Its sway; Let us meet where the birds are sit g lng, Where nature whispers Its rhymes. And where all the world is music— For the sake of the good old times. For the sake of the dear old times, dear. Let me tell the old story to you, The same that I'm always telling. The same that will ever be true; Come give me the sume sweet answer In a voice like those silvery chimes That down In my dear heart echo. For the sake of the good old times. —Baltimore American. A Case of Jolly. Mrs. Smiles—I'm afraid you only know the worst side of my husband. Mr. Giles—Perhaps I did—until I met you. Mrs. Smiles—What am I to Infer from that? Mr. Giles—Oh, now I know his bet ter half.
