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

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.

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.
