With His “Mutton Head” .and His “Lily White Hands.’’ Th* Old I'olkn ttaliln Somo “Miglity curious rhildrcu” Nott id.»y»—You Can Always Get Hie News at tho Strlb- blln Place—The Last Pull at Old Man Poke. (Copyright, 1895.) “The old folks are raisin mighty pe* tfurlous children nowadays,” laid Aunt Nancy Newton in a general family talk with me oncst upon a time. And the longer I live, and the more I think about it, the plainer I can see wherein the old lady spoke a tremendius big gob of truth. Everybody i s more or less cu rious to some extent. It must be a family disease with the human race, but some people have it a whole lot worse and give up to it a sight more than others. Re member I lie Stribblin Place. If it ever comes to pass that you roought run down into the Rocky Creek Settlement—and then if you want to find out everything about everybody in all the regions around, go over on the Jackson Trail road and put up and spend the night with old man Asey StribbNn. What little old man Asev don’t know in regards to the general history of the country and the people must of been tore out of the books forty years ago. And if you aint too tired to stay up late and listen the old man will toll you all he knows before you go to bed. From geuerul appear men Is the old folks pul in to raisin some “mighty pecurious Children” about the time old man Asey was born, and sometimes ho talks a whole passle jest simply because he has got somethin to talk with. But if you want to git all the news don’t forget to sp -nd a night at the Stribblin place. Old man Asey can take mo up ono side and down the other and tell you a blame sight more about Bay family records and mygonoral repu tation than you over could find out from me. He is more than probable to tell you about some things concernin which t don’t want everybody to know. If it Ao happens that I have ever got myself mixed up in any scandulations and flirtationments in the settlement old man As y can give you all the facts, with a few extry touches and fancy trimmina for good measure. He isjji-f^ Aral headquarters for every khigg-^JTthat line. Ho can tell .yoy^-ttfanaL’s heel *'5o» bmctt tStiE^ylhave got, or how much I owe—when I got it, and where I got it, and who holds the waverly notes agin me. Ho can tell you how many horses and cows a*d hogs and pigs and chickens and children we have got in the Sanders family. Sometimes I won der in my soul where tb® old man gits all his facts. So far as mo and him's concerned I would seo him sick abed with a fever and ten miles from water before I would tell him anything. But if there is any news in the settlement— pirticlar if it is right fresh and ruther dirty—old man Asey can most in gen erally always manage so as to pick it up “comin and a-gwine.” Late along last summer I got rich and reckless and went up into Tennessee and bought me a good saddle horse. Andy Lucas went with me and rid the horse back hour ■ through the country. Tb* general facts in the case had already leaked out in the settlement before wo landed the new horse at home. Bright and early the next mornin old man Asey Come bilin over after the nows. Bless gracious, he was at the front gate before I got through breakfast. He cotnc over in such a tremendius hurry and Hurry till, by gatlins, he was sweat in like a free nigger on election day. And ho re mained over and hung around till way fn the shank of the ovenin tryin his level blamdest to find out what I had give for my saddle horse. He saw me, end he aaw the horse, but that was all eo far as me and him's concerned. But get at the same time, if you waat to know where I got that horse, and who X got him from, and what I paid for him to a dollar and a cent, don't forget to put up and spend the night with old man Asey Stribblin. I have never tdld him—1 have never even told Andy Lu- cas—but I’ll bet the horse right now egia the sorriest steer calf in the set tlement that old man Asey can tell you ell about it. He has got the facts in the case before now If he had to wrlto on back to Murray county, Tennessee, and ask the man which I bought the home from. Tliot* Lily- M bite Haadi. Xt la e blessed good thing, I reckon, that It takes a heap of various and sun- 4ry different sorts of people to make up the world. As for me, I love these good, plain American people around Rocky i^reek. They are always honest enough end brave enough to be natural and true. They are my fellow-citizens, my neighbors and my friends. We have all come down together from the aristoc racy Of honest hearts and hard knuckles. But now in regards to the r business—they must tend to that for themselves. I haven't got the turn nor the time to look after it for them. Life is too short and time is too skeerce, and I am too cverlastin busy. It takes all my time to keep up tho corners and make the edges cut at home. And I have to stay out Inte and git up soon in orderment to do that. I hope old man Asey Stribblin is out of debt and ahead of the hounds, with meat in the smoko bouse, and moil in tho barrel, and money in b s fl inks. Hut 1 don’t know A blame thing about lu It Is non® of my businosB. And I haven't got tb® time to go and find out. It is a thou sand wonders to me that ho has got a shelter to sleep under. If I spent ss much time runnin about and “jest pil* forln around" tendin to other peoples’ business for them as he does my home would now ‘ho over tho bills and far away In tho Poor House. Now you maybe mought think that I am ono of them pecurious children my- sely, but if old man Asey will only tend to his own business right and proper I can manage my own without any help from him. I haven't got so very much, but it is all mine. I want horned into it, and I didn't marry it, and I didn’t steal it. By gracious, I tpado it—made it with my own mutton head and my own lily-white hands. SUICIDE. 8am Jones’ View of This Com mon Route to the Hereafter. One More “Pecurious Child.” Old Mises Nettleton (Aunt Pliny, as everybody calls her), which lives over on Huckleberry Ridge, is ono more of them pecurious children. She is the onlyest ono like her on tlie broad bosom of tho earth, I reckon. Sho is way past seventy years old, but sho never saw the moon in day time till one day last week. It was somethin new and mar- vclsome to Aunt Pliny. She always thought that the sun was made for day and the moon for night, and then to soo the moon in broad, open day time was quite altogether too many for her. Sho thought the world was comin to an end right away immediately, if not sooner. She was out in tho garden when sho saw the marvelsome sight, and from there she flow into the house and went to pray in to beat six hits. The Last Pull at Poki- Old man Poke Nettleton, which he was the husband of Aunt Pliny, you understand, was likewise also ono of them “pecurious children.” l!o was a right tolerable good man in the com mon way, hut tough enough for wedge woo l, and green—by gracious be was so green till you could rake it off with a shuck. And then old man Poke was a terrible hard drinker till ho went down under the water. You see. Aunt Pliny is a Baptist from High Log all tho way, whilst old man Poke calb d himself a debt-payin dram-drinkin Methodist. “As to me, I was horned and brung up in a Baptist family, Rufus,” said Aunt Pliny to mo ono Saturday evenin when old man Poke had went homo as mellow as a M .ypop. “I was fed and raised on Baptist ui..;c, and Baptist po tatoes, and Baptist bread and Baptist bacon, and, thank * cod ness I’m a Bap tist all the way. And if it evyr 'comes to pass that I can pyB-JVke into a notion to jine the BajiU'if'Church and go down under the, water he will he a new and d^iif^nt man. He is a member ®f tho Methodist Church now, and lie has been sprinkled, hut it . will take somethin more Uian a little sprinkle to wash away tht> sins of Pok-* Nettleton. That mongbt maybe sorter do for women and children, but if Poke don’t go down heels and head under tho water he is a lost and mint man.” Well, naturally of course in t ie run of time Aunt Pliny—woman like— brought old man Poke around to her wav c*f thinkin, and the very next Sun day ho went over with her into tho Baptist Church. And then on the fol lowing Tuesday they had a baptizin at the big furd over on Murder Creek, and old man Poke went down unler tho water. It so come to pass that 1 mot tho crowd along tho road on their re turn back from tho creek, and soon as Aunt Pliny saw me sho opened up and let in: “Ho is a clean man now, Rufus— thank tho Lord Poke Nettleton is a clean man. lie has went down under tho water, and his sins aro washed away. White as snow, Rufus, whito as snow. You can tell tho sheriff and tho police they have put their hands on Poke Not- tleton for tho last time. No more cussin and no more comin up drunk at our bouse. He is on the rock now, Rufus—safe on tho rock which fadeth not away.” To bo certainly 1 was in hopes that Aunt Pliny was right, hu^ I had some serious doubts in tho case. I didn't dis pute her word in regards to old man Poke bein safe on tho rock and whit® as snow, though I didn’t know how long he would stay clean and keep bis feet under him. But from that Tuesday evenin, when he went down undor the waters of Murder Creek, to his dyin day the old man never cussed an oath nor took a drop of sperits. I don’t know for certain whether it was the water or Aunt Pliny or the good Lord—or all three put together—but at any rates, when tho last final shower come, and old man Poke Nettleton had to take out and go in he was “safe on the rock and white as snow.” Rcfes Sanders. the Costly.

Primarily It Is a Crime, and in Next Place It Is Cowardly— Advice to Wonld-Ue Suicides. COPTBIGHT. 1895 Much has been written and said upon this subject in the last few years. The truth Is, it is hard to keep the tongue and pen off of a subject so frightful and so horrible, when suicides have multiplied so fast. The views upon this subject as to tho causes and conse quences of suicide are about as multi form and varied as the character of the ones who perpetrate this awful crime. I was conducting evangelistic meet ings in a city a few days ago, and a young lad}’ of pleasant surroundings and happy home walked out in the gar den late in the afternoon, put a pistol to her temple and they found her dead. Suicide is the last retreat of poor hu manity fleeing from something. It is the deed of a shirk. It is the retreat of one who has decided not to fight man fully the issues before him. Suicide is a crime first, because it is murder. To murder one’s self is murder. To deliberately take your own life I can didly believe is a crime for whieli there Is no forgiveness here or hereafter. I have frequently heard it said that no one but insane persons commit suicide; but I have frequently talked with per sona who attempted suicide perhaps more than once. They were perfectly sane, and they said they did it delib erately and that they had rather die than meet the issues and endure longer the ills they carried. I have had more than one person to say to me that they intended to commit that deed. I asked them why, and they told me that their ills were greater than they could bear. My uniform re ply to them has been: “Well, do the deed, and you won’t be in hell more than half a minute till you would give a thousand worlds to be back again. There you will say: ‘Oh, God! if I could get back to earth again I’d bear the ills that I endured there a million years, and count it a privilege to do so!”’ That insane persons commit the deed 1 do not doubt; but it is a cowardly, in fernal act. Any person who has sense enough to swallow laudanum or load aud shoot a pistol into his brains has sense enough not to do*it. I came in at the front door of the aryna of life, and l prgppsyto go out at the front door. ' And like Bill Arp said some years ago: “If my friends should find me dead un der suspicious circumstances, they can go to hunting the fellow that done it, for I am dead sure I won’t be the man that done it.” We had better bear the ills we know of than to risk the ills we know not of beyond the grave and in the great beyond. Young girls commit the deed; young boys, wives, husbands, fathers, moth ers commit suicide and thereby entail woe and misery and suffering upon the loved ones who have suffered for them and sacrificed for them more tlrnn tongue could tell. Suicide is not only a crime, but it is the last retreat of selfishness. And after all hell itself is nothing but self ishness on lire. There is not one sui cide in a thousand that cares for the suffering that they entail upon others; but a selfish desire and a false hope lead to the deed. Suicide is not only a crime, it is not only the most in tensely selfish deed, but it is a deed from which they can never recover. In one short moment’s time they do a deed that not simply haunts them to the grave, but haunts them into the beyond through all eternity. In the dark ages it might have been honor able to commit suicide, but in this day of Gospel truth and light, in this day when God’s arm of mercy can be seen and His voice of mercy can be heard, to deliberately seek the retreat of an old stoic who never heard of God or never cared for God and try to end your troubles in the mosA selfish, criminal way is neither the deed of a man nor the act of a brave, chivalrous human being. If the suicide could look upon the saddened home, the grief-stricken loved ones, he could but feel ashamed in hell of the crime he had committed. Tho highest manhood is the manhood which protects and shields the loved ones of home who have sacrificed for them. It is not only a crime to commit sui cide, and the most intense selfishness and intensest disregard of the feelings of others who love you, hut it is a cow ardly deed. I saw some time ago where a fellow had started off to commit sui cide. lie met a bull in the road mak ing for him and he ran for dear life; and plead as a reason Fiat he bad some choice about the way he died. No brave man, in nay honest judgment, would be guilty of such a crime. Brav ery is made of the stuff that meets the conflicts of life and endures Its ills with a face like flint, and fights its way till the end shall come in a different way. How to make others happy and how to do good to others opens up the best channels of life; and he who is busy making others happy and doing good to others, unless reason be dethroned, cannot commit so selfish and dastardly a crime as suicide. Sometimes an in ordinate love of money drives a fellow to a deed like this. He has set his heart upon sordidness until when dis aster comes to him he feels that all that he lias loved has passed away and that be desires to go with it. A miserly mail who lays bis withered soul upon the altar of Mammon and worships till he wants to die, and if death dim‘1 come he goes out to meet it with a loaded pistol or a dirk and hurries him- telf away from the ill.; that other brave nen count it manly to bear. Some times a fool kills himself about some jirl who has jilted him In love. I sup- jose a fellow who was like Melchisc- iek, who had neither father nor moth er nor brothers and sisters nor relatives, Might do a deed like that and call it nanly. But wherever there is a ’a heart to bleed, or wife's heart to suffer, or sister's eyes to weep, and father’s voice to groan, it is unmanly to do a deed like that. Sometimes a fellow kills himself because he thinks he is a failure. Because others think he is a failure he does the deed that demonstrates the truth of what they thought. Sometimes a fellow com mits suicide because of bodily pain. Somotimcs a fellow commits suicide be cause he can’t sleep at night or eat in the daytime. Sometimes a fc!low com mits suicide because his daddy did, or his neighbor did. Sometimes a fellow commits suicide because lu* feels that is all that he can do. He played out- frazzled out at everything else. But no matter what the cause, there can be no justification. And if Mr. Ingcrsoll thinks that suicide is a good way out let him commit the deed he thinks is no harm for others to do and try to get a passport back and tell us whether lie thinks it pays or not, after he sees where suicide lands a fellow. But if reason be de throned. and a man is not mentally re sponsible, and is not responsible for his irresponsibilities, then there might be excuse or palliation for a deed like this. But let us discourage this cowardly, selfish crime and let men die martyrs to the right, but let them die natural deaths. A man ought to have as little to do with his going out of tins world as he had to do with his coming into this world. Keep busy. Keep cheer ful. Be contented. Go to bed and go to sleep. Go to the table and e it, but not too much. Put your heart in your work. Love what you do better than you love what anybody else does. Be satisfied with your job, contented with your lot, and hopeful for the future; and then by faith in God you will rot go craze here. You will unt go crazy enough to commit suicide on the one •hand, or find the ills of life t<>.> burden some to bear upon the other. Sam. P. Jones. SWEDEN’S ROYAL PA _ACn. Soim* of 1 he SJrlkina 1'iutur s of Kina Hffi.r.r ; l .-.vorU*' itos.d. urf*. Although the reigning aniily of Sweden is far from rich, oving lo the late king having bequeathe i ^ very ves tige of property that he ci aid dispose of to his only daughter, .ov crown princess of Denmark, yet \. ere a; ■* few more magnificent abodes in the old world, says the C’nicago Tribune. It is the favu residence of the t sown prince dui..rg the summer, and may bq sukl to have been erected absolutely regardless of cost, that is to say, in its present form, for the oldest part of the tastle dates back to the year 1100, when, according to the Scandinavian sages, it was the stronghold and home of the famous King Sigurd. One of the leritiTres is tin* winter gar den. the glass root of which rests on sixteen marble columns, each of which cost over forty thou.and dollars. It is situated on the very edge of the cliff overlooking the sea, while from the land side the view stretches ow r hill and forest for many a long mile. One somewhat amusing feature in connec tion with this palace is the so-called Isle of Elba that lies within a stone’., throw of the palace, and which owes its name to the fact that when in i'- Jft the first Napoleon was deported to Klim the Princess Sophie* Albertine, w ho re garded him in the light of a bugbear, caused ono of the largest eagles to Ik* moved from the aviary of the castle and to be conveyed to this little island, where it was shut up in a cage as a kind of memorial to tlie fallen emperor. By a strange coincidence whieli cannot be explained the eagle managed to es cape on the very day that the first Napoleon sailed from Elba on that last journey which ended in Waterloo and St. Helena. CHINESE LAUNDRY TICKETS. A Queer System of Markins; ISun<llcg of Warhing. The Chinese washermen have a sys tem of ticketing a bundle of soiled clothes based on the many gods and goddesses of the laundry. Though it is complicated, the laundrymau seldom delivers a bundle of washed clothes to the wrong jierson. Furthermore, if the ticket is lost the chances are that you will not get your linen unless you are a particular friend of the proprietor. Instances are on record w here an American has gone to court to force the Chinese to yield up the washing, hut the judge was not convinced that the case of the white man was a good one. The Chinese laundryman ut the be ginning of each week makes out a batch of cheeks, in duplicate, to 1m* used as wash tickets. He selects the name of some god or goddess, or of some object as the sun, the moon, or the stars. To this name he prefixes a number, as “Moon, No. 1,” “Moon, No. 2,"and soon. In the space betw een the tw o legends —for the signs are repeated twice—he has his own name, as, for instance, “Wah Lee." When a customei takes a bundle of washing to the laundry, the Chinese, first tearing a ticket in two in ragged fashion, puts one-half on the packet for reference; the other half be gives as a receipt to the person who has brought the package of laundry. It must be presented when the laun dry is demanded, and no fears need be entertained that the package of clean clothes will not be forthcoming, for they are scrupulously exact in these matters. Give the Boy® a Day Off. Tiif. Ledger never advocates any thing without giving it consideration. Therefore the closing of all business on Thanksgiving day has received consideration. It is proper to do so every year, but this year tho mer chants should gladly doso. Business lias been exceptionally good ; the sea son lias been glorious; fanners have received good prices for their produce and merchants have reaped a harvest Wo should with one accord close our places of business on this day and with reverend hearts and happy souls give thanks to Him who has made such things possible. It will will strengthen us anew for the bat tle of another year. It will cheer our souls, make us think more of each other and employee and em ployer will be drawn closer together by it. So let everybody close and let everybody spend the day as it be comes a broad, liberal Christian peo ple to spend it.
