WHEN THE WIFE IS GONE AWAY. When the wife has gone away, they tell me that I seem Like some one that’s a-walkin’ an’ a-talk-ln' in a dream, I move so quiet roun’ the house, an’ speak so soft an’ low, Or sit there by the winder, where her sweet geraniums grow— Or take the wilier rocke* beside the old fireplace, An’ stare above the mantel, where I see her pictur’d face, For hours and hours together! I’m “strange,” the neighbors say, An’ they don’t know how to take me, when the wife has gone away! The mockin’ bird keeps singin’ in the old mulberry tree, An’ from the little garden all the roses nod to me. The morntn’ sky is Just as bright—ain't anything to blame— It’s Jest my heart ain’t heatin’ right, Jest me that ain’t the same! You see, when folks has lived so long together, through the years That sometimes brought ’em gladness an' sometimes sighs and tears, They kinder feel like they was one, an' hard it is to part; An’ they time each other’s absence by the heatin’ of the heart. An’ so, I’m always lonesome when the wife is gone away; It seems jest like it’s winter roun* the roses of the May, An’ there ain’t no joy in livin’, an’ there ain’t no peace or rest, Till once more we’re united, an’ I fo V her to my breast —Utica Globe.

LIVE TOPICS OF TO-DAY.

The French National Library has 72,000 books on the French revolution. A Liverpool glass manufacturer has a chimney at his factory 150 feet high built entirely of glass bricks. From Bologna and Berne, as well aa from fictitious universities in the United States, fraudulent mtslical degrees are being issued. Capt. Slocum of Boston, with his thlr-teen-ton sloop Spray, has reached Newcastle, New South Wales, on his solitary sail around the world. Fowl is served in one of the London restaurants on electrically heated plates so that the guests can eat leisurely and still have the viands continue warm until the close of the meal. A Colorado genius claims that he has found a way to telegraph without wires from oue mountain top to another la an east and west direction, using atmospheric strata which are already electrified as his conductor. The apparatus employed has not been puDlicly described, but the Inventor Is said to be experimenting in Colorado and Utah, and he says he has transmitted messages by his method over a distance of eighty miles. The case of Mr. Newcomb and others whose hands have been damaged by continuous exposure to “X” rays recalls that the World has several times suggested the intimate connection between these rays and heat. If accepted theories are correct the only difference is one of vibration, and further experiment will probably show that X rays In excess have to a limited extent the same disorganizing effect on animal tissue that is produced by excessive heat.—New York World. The most highly paid ruler Is the Emperor of Russia, who receives, says the Golden Penny, the nice little salary of £2,200,000 per annum. The Sultan of Turkey peror of Austria manages with £912,500, while Emperor William only receives £730,000 a year. Lower still Is the King of Italy with £585,000, while Queen Victoria has exactly the same income, which is unfair, seeing how much greater her empire is. The President of the P reneh Republic gets £438,000, but the King of the Belgians can only boast of £120,000.

While people who write and converse in English use many French words, the French have dealt sparingly in English words. M.

RENSSELAEB JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA FRIDAY JANUAB 7 15 1897

Many newspapers are adopting various plans to meet the exigencies forced upon them by the hard ! times. Some conclude to try a redaction of the subscription price and hope to increase the number of subscribers; others announce that they will throw off 50 cents per annum to delinquents who will square up arrearages. We do not think either of these plans will pay. With wheat stating at 50 @ 60, oats 10 @ 12, corn 15 @ 16 producers find it next to impossible to make their income meet their necessities. We have concluded, tor a time at least, to meet the emergency, in reducing our necessary cash outlay each week by reducing the size of the Sentinel, and the price to $1: and so soon as we may feel justified in doing so will restore the paper to its former dimensions.

Bx-Governor MatthewsClaude Matthews retires to-day as Indiana’s chief executive. He has honored the place and it has honored him. It has given him •pportunities for usefulness which he has embraced. It has called upon him for assertions of authority which he has not lacked courage to meet. As onr friends know, The News has differed shai ply with the Governor on matters of policy. But touching the discharge of duties singular to bis office and concerning the manner in which he has discharged them, Mr. Matthews has won reputation for Indiana, s chief executive as a cour ageous gentlemon. He has rnaue friends with those with whom he has come in contact. He has maintained Jie best traditions of the office’s dignity and responsibility He leaves it elevated to a much higher plane than he found it. ca ries with him the good wishes of a multitude of people irrespective of barty. in his six years of residence here he and his family have come to occupy a large place in the social life of Indianapolis, aDd they have won a wide circle of friends who will regret their departure. It is a pleasant reflection for one after long years ot arduous public service to feel that he lays it down with a wide work of usefulness to his credit, with friendships established far and near, with the opportunity which was given enhanced l value by the manner in which it was im. proved and established in the high respect and regard of the time. Such is the well-deserved tribute paid to Governor Ma'thews by the Indianapolis News, the ablest republicaa paper in Indiana.

It is a strong and straightforward document, and a complete exhibit of the superior business methods the democratic state officials have inaugurated in all the state departments.—New Albany Ledger (dem.). Governor Matthews’s last message is somewhat lenghthv, but in the main is very creditable aDd well wortby the consideration of the leg’slature, to .whom it was addressed. He very forcibly points out a number of evils that are within the power of the legislature to correct, and it would be well for that body lo give heed. Kokomo News (ind rep.) Governor Matthews is right in urging the passage of a compulsory education law The perpetuity of free government depend upon the intelligence as well as the honesty of the people, and the logic of a compulsory tax to suppdrf/publie schools is the logic of compulsory attendance thereat for a period sufficient to make intelligent ( itizers.—Richmond Item ■ i ip.) In retiring from the ofiice of governor the Hon, Cleude Matthews may do so with the consciousness of having served tie state of Indiana wisely and well, t is needU ss to refer to his r' ts of intelligence and courage in the discharge of offie’af duty.

The extent of their influence is beyond computaiion. Alinoat everything entering into the necessities of life are more or less affected by these combines which result in big profits to the few and exhorbitaut prices for the masses. Twenty of these true's represents an aggregate capital of a billion dollars... Much of their stock is flotitious, or watered, and serves the double purpose of speoulatio » and a pretext for the enormous tribute laid upon the consumer. In the proportion -that trusts prosper, the publio must sust tin loss, for a’l their gains are inevitably derived from those who consume their pro l ducts. From a pecuniary standpoint, the trust if one of the monster evils of the time, and it it continues to Bpread and grow the next decade as it has in the past a serious state of affairs indeed will confront us. but let us hope that a just remedy may be found for its dissolution rather than growth. And yet these same papers advocate a protective tariff, the very food that cause trust to spring into existence, and upon whioh they feed and thrive. J udge Healy, from long, practical experience in the manufacture of boots and shoes, is undoubtedly the best judge of the make, up, the quality of material, and the proper price for such goods, in the business in this section: HOLLISTER & HOPKINS.

“TALKING SHOP” AT HOME.

Drop Business u Far aa Possible with Iluainesa Hours, ‘‘There are times when It seems that a man’s house Is the best, and at times It Is the only place for a business consultation of Importance, and no wife will resent such occasions," writes Edward W. Bok, In an editorial protest against “ Talking Shop’ at Homo,” In the Ladles’ Home Journal. “Those times are, however, rare, as every man knows, and they should be kept so. Business, at Its best, Interests a woman simply because It Interests her husband and because his Interests are hers. She has no Inherent love for It. She cannot have. It Is not her sphere. And, therefore, to Impose business talk upon her every evening, or nearly every evening, Is.nothing short of an Imposition and an Injustice. Men ought to be wise enough to see this. And they ought to be sensible enough to understand that, for their own Interests. It Is best for them to drop business matters, so far as possible, with business hours. A man’s mind needs diversion: It requires exercise In entirely channels from those In which It has been running during the day. For this reason the proverb Is so full of common sense that every man should have a personal hobby as far removed from the nature of his business os possible. A sensible hobby has saved many a business man from early collapse. The mind needs rest, and a man's home Is the only place In all the world where such rest should be given It. And American Wives should more rigidly Insist that this mental rest be taken by their husbands. It Is not an easy matter In some cases for the woman of she home to take suoh a stand and persist In It. But she can do It If she will. A woman can do almost anything with the man who loves her If she only goes about It In the right way. The trouble Is that so many women choose the wrong way. The practice of ‘talklag shop’ should cease In our American homes. Our wives are right In the Interest which they take In their husbands’ business affairs. Their Influence Is frequently seen and felt In the business world. • And it Is an Influence which every right-minded man respects, knowing, as he does, that a woman always acts for the best Interests of the man she loves. In her Interest and sympathy she is right. Nothing works as much good in a man’s capacity and enjoyment of business as his wife’s faith* Interest and co-operation In that business. So long as she permits her Interest and sympathy to act only as a means of encouragement she is wise." ,

Daniel Webster’s Wit.

While it caunot be said that the great writers and speakers of history hare stooped to the frivolity of lnoeaoant punning, yet most of them have not uegleeted to make use of a good pun when “In order.” I>aniel Webster was once addressing the Senate on the dry subject of Internal Improvements when the clook hands came around to the hour of two. Rut Instead of striking twice, the clock continued to strike without cessation more than forty times, till It ran down. All eyes were turned to the clock, and business was suspended. Mr. Webster remained silent, until about twenty strokes had sounded, when he thus appealed to the chair: "Mr. President, the clock Is out of order. I have the floor." The staid and august Senate broke into an uproarious laugh at the timely witticism. The Joke can never be repeated In the Senate, however, for the striking part of the clock is no longer wound up. i ■ - - f

Evading the Rule.

One of the regulations at the new Congressional Library In Washington Is that visitors must carry no parcels Into the building. So says the Post of that city, and then goes on to relate an amusing occurrence: A rather tall,broad-shouldered young woman arrived at tbo door of the library, having In her hand a neat brown paper package. “No bundles are allowed Inside the building,” said the attendant. “You must leave It here till you come out.” The young woman objected. 1 inman said It was the rule. The young woman said It was absurd. The to mi was tlrm. lie must obey order*. The young woman hesitated; then Bho undid the parcel, hung several pairs or black hose ove< her ami, banded the man the paper, and said: "There, you may keep that till I come out,”
