PrePaREAD.—SPEAR HEAD possesses more qualities of intrinsic valne than any other
plug tobacco produced. It is the sweetest, the toughest, the richest. SPEAR HEAD is
absolutely, positively and distinctively different in flavor from any other plug tobacco.
A trial will convince the most skeptical of this fact. It Is the largest seller of any similar
shape and style on earth, which proves that It has caught the popular taste and pleases tin
people. Try it, and participate in the contest for prizes. See that a TIN TAG is on every
10 cent piece of SPEAR HEAD you buy. Send In the tags, no matter how small the
Quantity. Very sincerely,
s 1 THE P. J. SORG COMPANY, Middletown, Ohio.
A list of the people obtaining these prizes in this county will be published In this
paper immediately after February 1st, 1894.

Love In the dawn is honey sweet—
Sweet to the taste and fair to tho sight;
Kisses are balm when young Ups meet.
The heart in the throes of its first white heat
Burns, a meteor shining bright;
Love in the dawn is honey sweet.
Enjoy while you can such moments fleet—
Those transient spells of a fond delight:
Kisses are balm when young lips meet.
Glad as the morning, Marguerite,
Are your girlish face and your bosom white;
Love in tho dawn is honey sweet.
The lilies smile at our very feet.
The roses blush to our left and right;
Kisses are balm when young lips meet.
Wedded today in this bower discreet
Our lives shall fall upon lines of light;
Love in the dawn is honey sweet—
Kisses aro balm when young lips meet!
—Eugcno Davis in Kate Field’s Washington.
Met With a Serious Fall.
“Yott aro very late thi3 morning, Mr.
Baldwin," said a dry goods merchant re
cently to one of his clerks. “Do not let
it happen again.”
“Very sorry,” said tho clerk humbly.
“I met with a serious fall.”
“Indeed ” replied the merchant, relent
ing. “Are you hurt much?”
“Principally, sir, in your estimation,”
answered the clerk respectfully.
“Oh, nevermind that,” said the mer
chant kindly. “I am very sorry and had
no intention to be severe. We are all
liable to accidents. How did you get the
fall?”
“Well, you see, sir,” said the clerk
confidingly, “I was called quite early
this morning—earlier, in fact, than
usual.”
“Ah!”
“Yes, sir; hut somehow or other I fell
asleep again.”
“Go to your desk, sir, and don’t try
that on again,” exclaimed tho merchant,
with an air of severity which was belied
by the twinkle in his eye, which denoted
that he enjoyed the joke.—New York
Herald.
Lightning’s Strange Selection.
Probably ono of the most remarkablo
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing a sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for a minute or two. He had
been standing there but a very short
time when a sharp crack of thunder was
preceded by a blinding flash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse in a heap, but in
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead! This, it may be as well to state,
is a perfectly true story.—London Tit
Bits.
French Politeness.
Suppose French politeness is a myth,
it is one to be cultivated the world over.
Even the humblest peasant in the small
est province is endowed with an all con
quering courtesy that is brought into
play in the most commonplace matters.
If our men could only be taught some of
it, how much more easily would run the
wheels of life’s machinery! Business is
business, of course. The rush and worry
of money getting dwarf the real nature,
yet at the same time stocks would act no
more irregularly, bills would be no less
ready to be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently if the arbitrators of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life a little more
of the softening influence or refined
courtesies that are the flowers in a mead
ow of rank weeds.—New York World.
The Best Language For Telephoning.
The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele
phone than the English. It is stated that
the largo number of sibilant or hiss syl
lables in English renders it a less easy
and accurate means of communication.
Some English words are especially diffi
cult of transmission by telephone. The
word “soldier” is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
ear cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.—Elec
tricity.
Considerable Mutuality.
Mrs. Lakeside—You are Mr. Pork
chop’s second wife, are you not?
Mrs. Porkchop—Yes, he was married
once before.
“That’s unpleasant. Whenever you
have a little row, he can bring up his
first wife and brag about her goodness.”
“He never tried it but once, and then
I told him about what nice men my three
other husbands were.”—Texas Siftings.
An Illustration.
“There,” said Miss Frances E. Willard,
closing her fist and presenting it as an
object lesson to her interested audience,
“is union—and that”—suddenly letting
every separate finger fly limply apart,
“is diversity. Which is the stronger?”
The Lydians had gold coins at the close
of the ninth century, B. C., and Greece
proper at about the close of the eighth
century. The Romans coined their first
silver in the year 281, B. C., and gold 73
years later.
The philosopher Schopenhauer says
that a man’s intellect may be measured
by his endurance of noise. He adds that
he never knew a man with a barking dog
in his back yard who was not a fool.
- i
We never see every thing that is about
us, and no two of us ever see precisely
the same things. Each sees what his
previous training and his habit of mind
have prepared him to see.
The milk of cows is not considered
good for food by the Siamese. The milk
in the cocoanut, however, is much used.
Cattle are raised for beef.
Burial within city limits was in heath
en times illegal, a very wise provision to
which moderns are returning.
Corset* and Christianity.
Whether women should or should not
wear corsets, they wear them all the
same, and the ham; done by voluntary
tight lacing is balanced by the recent
noble deed of Dr. Warner, corset manu
facturer, of Bridgeport, Conn. Next to
artich.'3 of luxury, the last things on earth
to be purchased in these hard times are
corsets. A pair of corsets may justly be
said to have great staying qualities.
Panics may come and panics may go,
but well made corsets will go on forever.
Naturally, therefore, Dr. Warner feels
the financial stringency keenly, and not
only is he obliged to reduce time to three
days in the week, but is forced to “lay
off” many women employees.
Does he leave them to choose between
starvation and the street? No. Dr.
Warner actually does unto those unfor
tunate women—as innocent of the pres
ent wicked panic as the rest of their sex
—precisely as ho would be done by. He
has read liis New Testament aright and
applies to this century Christianity as
taught by its founder 1,800 years ago.
Dr. Warner offers his ex-employees freo
board during the continuance of trade
stagnation. They have helped him make
the money which he returns in the hour
of need.
I want to shake hands with Dr. War
ner and to thank him for setting so no
ble an example. In this era of criminal
selfishness, which makes many men a
little lower than cutthroats, such evi
dence of humanity stands out like a dia
mond glittering amid offal.—Kate Field’s
Washington.
Tliree Millions For Endowment Orders.
There is over 000,000 lying in the
commonwealth’s treasury in the state
house at Boston awaiting distribution
among the certificate holders of the de
funct endowment orders. In order to
facilitate a settlement the supreme ju
dicial court proposes to take an active
stand in the matter, and to that end E.
C. Burnpus has been appointed by tlio
court a special master to examine into
the situation of the several endowment
order corporations, to confer with the re
ceivers and to report to the court a plan
for an immediate dividend to the claim
ants, with the draft of a decree ordering
such a dividend. Judge Burnpus has
taken such a course of inquiry as will
probably result in a practical solution of
the endowment cases, the court evident
ly having come to the conclusion that
the only way to settle them up is to take
a common sense view of tho matter and
arrange a settlement which will not al
low long litigation ending in a wasting
of the assets.—Boston Letter.
A Mad Stolier’s Freak.
A strange railway accident, which
might have had terrible consequences, is
reported to have happened at the Bologna
station on Friday. The stoker of an en
gine which was stopping at the station
of Galliera on the Ferrara-Bologna line,
in the engine driver's absence and ap
parently in a sudden fit of madness, set
the engine going at full speed, running
toward Bologna, The telegraph was
immediately set in motion, warning Bo
logna and the four intermediate stations,
and fortunately the line was clear, and
the engine was shunted onto a side line
where there were only six empty car
riages, and into these it dashed at full
speed. The stoker had during the whole
time continued to heap coal on the fire.
The engine and carriages were of course
telescoped, and the stoker was so badly
hurt that he died soon afterward.—St.
James Gazette.
Insect Fife In Kansas.
The hot, stifling air brings fresh ter
rors in the form of winged insects and
j things that creep. Bugs as big as clot hes
; pins pounce upon the wayfarer and claw
and scratch until hurled from the neck
and stamped under foot. Then there is
a green bug which comes out of the
night like a rifle shot and sinks ail its
feet into one's flesh. This beast is now
in season. Grasshoppers as long as the
little finger of a grown man crawl lei
surely up the screen of your window,
stopping from time to time to take ob
servations and finally tumbling back
into the street to find temporary lodg
ment in the whiskers of the native, who
is almost certain to be in range.—Kan
sas Cor. Chicago Herald.
A Jolly Old Mayor.
Don Jose Galendo, mayor of the city
of Alba, is in a parlous plight indeed.
News from Madrid proclaims that his
worship has been taking unreasonable
liberties with the public treasuries and
has in fact been proved guilty of 217
distinct forgeries, robberies and so forth.
The penalty for each separate crime is 14
years’ imprisonment, and as sentences do
not run concurrently by Spanish law
poor Don Jose must go to prison for 3,038
years. This would amount to life sen
tences for three or four Methuselahs.—
Black and White.
A Humble Dross Reformer.
At Muncie last night Freight Conduct
or Leige Love of the Big Four found a
frail looking girl on top of a hox car of his
train dressed in boy’s clothes. The girl
said she was from Steubenville, O., and
had taken to the life of a perennial tramp
in order to see the world. She excused
: the garb she wore by declaring that she
was in favor cf dress reform for women.
The venturesome miss refused to give her
name and acted very independent.—In
dianapolis Journal.
A Railroad's Meanness.
The recent cutdown in wages among
employees at the general office of the 3.
and A.road seems somewhat incongruous
with the yearly report, which showed a
wonderful increase in the net earnings
of the road. It seems to be only a case of
a “cussed opportunity,” not to be resisted
by a railroad company any more than
the man whose wife is out of town.—
