A minister of tho gospel who prided himsulf on his complete control of his temper was in tho habit of lecturing other people on tho folly and wrung of outbursts of passion. On 0110 occasion n huge carmine-comploxioned boil lo cated on tho nose of tho promulgator of gospel truth, making him look to tho casual obsorror liko a man who looked upon tho wluo whon it was red and stirrod itsolf aright. And tho friends and acquaintances of tho pur son who mot him guyed him about tho appearance of his nostril, and as tho boll was getting there in great shape thoso remarks had a tendency to make tho parson weary. When tho Mill man g it of tno same gag about being sorry that tho parson had taken to strong drink, the theologian, who had boon a center rush when ho was In college, surprised tho justcr by grasping him llrmly by the scruff of his neck nnd tho seat of his pantaloons and drop ping him on tho otlior side of 11 hitch rack. "I havo noticed on several occasions," said a bystaudor who had hoard the parson talk about tho uoccsslty of keeping ono's temper, "that a boll that only lacks 4 couplo of days of boiug ripe will knock any rulo galley west and crooked." Ill There was a certain small man who only weighed about 120 pounds, but who loved whon among strangers to work his jaw in a boastful manner. One of the hobbies of this small man was the necessity of a man being the master of his own household. TkoM who were not onto tho domestic affair of this man supposed from his talk that ke ruled his own house with an iroa hand and those who woro on, smiled and said netbing, for they liked to hear the man talk. And on ono occa sion when tho man was at the corner grocery and had a largo and attontivo crowd about him, ho becamo so car ried away with his subjoct that ho did not observo that ho had Maid consider ably beyond his limit until ho was re minded of it by thoeutruueeof 11 husky lady who curried no surplus llesh, but who would weigh in ordinary condi tion about 105 pounds net. As tho lady pushed through tho crowd "shu heard the small man say: "1 tell you gentlemen, that a man that is a mau can bo master of his own house." And then without any flourishes the husky lady walked up to tho man who bad not observed her approach, and taking him by tho ear led him out of tho crowd, saying, "Don't you know, you old fool, that it Is after 0 o'clock and none of your evening choies dono yet?" I I I A boy who had been reared in tbo town thought it would bo a bully good thing to get out in tho country whero ho could havo a chance to rido horses and play in the wlld wood. Tho boy had an undo who owned a quarter section about thirty miles out in the country and he wrote the boy's mother that if Augustus would come out ke would try to have the boys show him a good time and that he could have a chance to ride the horses aa much as he wanted to. Whon Augustus' mother read the letter he was red hot to go, as he labored under the delusion that it would be a great graft to get out into the country and ride as much as b wasted to. When Augustus reached the farm of his uncle, the farmer was just laying by a field of corn in the good old way, with a single shovel plow, and he told Augustus that if ho wanted to rido and guide that horso whilo his uaolo Fuller held the plow ho could tio it. And Augustus fairly jumped at the chance because ho didn't kuow a lot of things then that he know afterwards. After Augustus had ridden that farm horso bareback for about five rounds ho con cluded that a riding horso whose spinal column jutted up into tbo at- mosphoro was not so much of a joke as hejhad previously supposed and he was ready, so far as he was concerned, to quit and call it half a day, but his uncle wasn't of the samo mind and urged Augustus to go on and intimated that if he were to give up now all the farmer boys would refer to him as a "softy." Augustus was a youth of proud spirit and didn't propose to bo sailed a "softy" so ho 'staid with his j'b and rode that horso with tho pro jecting spiuo all through tho sunny day. And when ho got off at night he could not sit down on a chair, and where tho sun hit tho back of his nock it was doue to a turn. The next day Augustus wrote to his molhor saying that if it was just the same to hor be would pre for to recreate for tho rest of tho summer in town, as this country life was a tritlo strenuous for him ho had been taught by a teacher from Boston, which accounted for his ready use of the word strenuous.

A. Wilbukn, Sec. As an experiment live hundred stu dents of Harvard university wero re quested to write a history of their doings for twenty-four hours. Each man turned In his article and tho en tiro bunch was sealed up In an air tight box and put away not to be opened again for one hundred and ilfty years. ThoJ professor who worked out tliu idea un doubtedly intonded that on tho data of opening of tho box there would bo great festivities at Harvard, and that tho light cast upon tho doings of peo ple in this ago would bo decidedly In teresting. Perhaps it will; there is no way to tell, for no mau living now would have any desire to bo living one hundred and fifty years from now, ovou for tho excessive pleasure of see ing tho box opened. But the well meaning professor neglooted to tako into account ono thing. Tho current lltoraturo of today, tho hundreds of books which describe tho customs of the century to such good advantage that futuro knowledge of tho generation will not bo hard to obtain. Had some fellow ono hundred aud llftv vent's ncro done such a thing, it might bo inter esting right now, as information of college days then Is a little scarce No Harm will bo done, however; by at tempting tho experiment. Ex. On noxt Wednosday the republican county convention will bo held in this city. In order to win out great care ahould bo taken that the best men be put la nomination for the several offices. Past experience should learn the party that in order to see their men occupy the offices, they place mon as candidates who have had no bad records of political intrigue in the past. If you do their political ghosts will bo brought forth to haunt the party and they will go down in defeat Do not put up men who have got their livelihood through tho misfortune of others. Tho men with tho pleasant hand-shake now, who didn't know tho common herd three months ago must bo turned down or tho poople will do tho act at tho polls. Put up men whom tho party newspapers can support without offering oxcusos. Lizzie Zalman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
