auw onen one sees a man pet
out and look all over town for .
his cow, hog or dog if it happens
to be away in the evening, when
the same man will allow his son
or daughter to stay out until the
wee hours of the night without
once inquiring where he or she
is, or care what kind of company
they may be in. And still you
wonder at the increase in ciime.
Keeping the boy or girl out of
school to help do the work at ,
home is a very foolish idea that
some parents are practicing.
There may be cases where then
are good reasons why a girl o>
boy cannot finish the eighth o

put forth by their parents.

Fact is, the music was s<
very poor that the management
of the dance had up to
Saturday refused pay the musicians
for their services.
The country "hayseed" is a
favorite joke for some of the
city papers and tne impecunious
space writers of the dailies love
to portray the tiller of the soil as
a man who never saw much and
knows less. Were it not for the
farmer, the receipts of the county
fair would be mighty slim,
and he does not make a holy
show of himself, either, as the
writers try to make it appear.
The pale cadavers who write the

limited is their reading and their

the early shopper pets the most

HORSE 18 FA8TE8T ANIMAU
No animal is known to have exceeded
the speed attained by the
horse. Instantaneous photogrnphs of
one famous specimen showed the full
length of one complete stride of
about 26 feet. In the stride of the
fastest rucers the hind quarters and
limbs are raised considerably higher
than the shoulders, and from this
relatively great height ure brought
downward and forward, widely separated
from each other, to avoid striking
the forelegs. The hare has not
in reality the speed of the dog. The
dog on the other hand does not attain
the speed of the horse. The giraffe
is said to run at the rate of 15
yards a second under the most favorable
conditions. The elephant, going
at the rate of two yards a second, carries
a weight approximating that
carried by six horses.

Two small boys spent some time
watching the ice plant of a local
packing institution.
"It's great to make ice like that
just as fast as you want it, isn't it,
Jimmie?" said one of the youngsters.
"Yes." replied Jimmie, "but it
would be greater if we could make
our coal the same way."?Youngstown

At a card party held in this city
last week some of the women were
discussing woman suffrage, relates
the Washington Star. One of the
players said she always attended suffrage
meetings and had even
marched in one of the parades.
"(loudness!" exclaimed her partner.
"I didn't know von went in for
that sort of thing. l>o you know all
about politics?"
"No." replied the suffragist, "I
don't know a thing ahout it."
"Well, why do you do it ?"
"Because it teases my husband so."
PREVAILING DISTINCTIONS.
"Mow will I a set rtain the precise
title by which an eminent official
should he address* 1?"
"I don't know," replied the man
whose methods ore hurried. "These
days you are pret y safe if you go
ahead and call a man 'professor.'"
