DEFENDANT WINS.

The case of Harris vs. Harris, from Remington, was tried here before Esq. Churchill last Monday. Thomas Harris of Remington, bought a team of horses from a young man also by the name of Harris, paying 360 therefor. The team turned out to have been stolen and Tom had to give them up. The younger Harris, however, refused to refund Tom’s S6O, and he brought suit. The court held that the young man being a minor it was Tom’s duty to have made inquiries from his guardian (who is J. F. Irwin of this city) as to whether he lmd authority to dispose of them, and found for defendant. It would seem that there should be some means of making the young man return the money. The case has been appealed to the circuit court.

A POEM ON THE TIMES.

This is a fine world and full of good cheer There’s room for all people enough and to spare. No need for oppression whatever befall , The Master that built # it made room for us all. The earth yields abundance of corn, fruit and wine. The water yields fish and the meadows yield kine, While Nature is smiling from hilltop and tree Inviting her children to feast and be free. While Nature provides for her children at large She never intended that any should starve. A few hold all rights to the tools and the soil And the many must starve or else for them toil. I oftentimes wonder why is it that some Must keep in the harness from cradle till tomb. Deprived of all pleasure, ill-cared for and poor And always the wolf keeping close to the door. —' W ith others it s sunshine, day in and day out, Aud untiling to mar-it or put them about They toil not but feast on the best in the land Procured from the ones who are wronged at their hand. How pleasant and happy this world it could be if men were less sellish and kindly agree And lay up less treasure where parting is pain, But lav it where treasure and friends meet again. The millionaire's treasure is riches and gold, What care he though thousands are hungry and cold I hough strong men are wore out and soon pass away, And widows and orphans increase every day. brail women and children are turned out to work From long before daylight until after dark. Strong men are laid idle, increasing each day For women are cheaper and men want more pay.

How can a poor man. then, be ready to die. When hunger and poverty bids him defy? Broke down by hard labor, long hours and small pay And no time allowed him to thicik or to pray. He scarce has a Sunday that God made for man. His master demands and exacts all he can At the great duy of reck'ning when all must appear. Will the Judge be as hard as the master was here. How dreary and dark looks the picture indeed The world v, ith tier millions of soldiers to feed New weapons for warfare inventing each day r or innocent livbs to ue slaughtered away. Could tile battlefields speak, what tales could be told broiii hunger and suffering, neglect and from cold I heir widows and orphans what tales they could tell. Of homes long deserted by those they loved well. * * * » • » * In futnre if kings and their friends disagree And are anxious to tight, what care you or me. Let it be to a tinish, if they wish for gore. And soon we’ll have kingrule and lighting no more. f here » plenty of work for brave soldiers to do *1 he forests to conquor and lands to subdue, Their sabers and guns will make plowshares . and spades New music will ring through the forest and glades.

No more will the war cry be heard anywhere To destroy wiiat kind Nature has formed so lair. But peace and her blessings will conquer the foe And flowers will blossom wherever they go. Nor more will the land or its produce be sold or yet shall our labor be bartered for gold. Beneath our own vine and beneath our fig tree We will share with the world what Nature gives free. Should a scarceness occur anywhere through the world Humanity’s banner will soon be unfurled Stout hearts and proud ships will sail over the sea With aiu for our brothers whoever they be. The millionaire’s gold will be worth litt’e then, The plowshare and spade will be better to him. The prison and almshouse no more will be known, * The cause that produced such forever is gone. Great guns, shot and shell will be sunk in the sand To stop the inroads of the sea through the land, And our fine ships of war will sail over the main With the gospel of peace and good will to all men.

When peace and prosperity reigns everywhere And man is contemed with nothing to fear His thoughts will be Heavenward, where parting is o’er And friends meet with friends on that beautiful shore. Thou mighty Jeliovan, who rules over all That even a sparrow without thee can’t fall, Look dow n on thy people we earnestly pray Let those who oppress them no longer hold sway. Thy promise to Israel we pray thee renew And let not the many he slaves to the few, kstuhlish thy kingdom aud reign among men And thine will be glory forever. Amen ! - William Button Creech. Remington, Ind.. Oct 24, luoi. Don’t forget Lee handles lumber and hardware at McCoysburg.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

Johnny’s Composition on the Beaver end Other Things. The beaver is an animal with] sharp teeth and a tail like a large I omelet. It inhabits watery places and is very fond of its young, of which it usually has several. The beaver is very industrious and acquires great skill in the use of its tail, with which it plasters its dwellings. The way a beaver operates is as follows: It selects a large tree growing on the banks of a brook or some similar stream and then gnaws the tree till it falls across the stream, thus forming a dam. It is not wrong to say dam when you are speaking of beavers. We should never indulge in profane swearing if we can avoid it. We should eve? remember the lessons we learned at the knee of our dear parents when we were little, but a beaver dam is far different. When my grandfather was a boy, he went to school where there was nothing but prairie, and the boys whispered because the teacher could not find any switches and had a boil on his hand. One day the teacher took- a dried beaver’s tail out of his desk and spanked the whole school with it, and it didn’t leave a mark on the beaver’s tail, but there never wa3 any more whispering. My grandfather, is blind in one eye, but his memory is good. The beaver is becoming very scarce, and you have to go to the Field museum to see one now.—Johnny in Chicago Record. _ A Young Hero. When the water was high over its banks in Brush creek, near Deshler, 0., July 5, nearly all the boys in town went to the creek to take a swim. One of the bovs, James Spangler, was pulled unJer by the current. Frank Michael, a boy of thirteen, made a dive after him from a bridge, bringing the drowning boy to the surface. Then a

FRANK MICHAEL.

struggle for life began. Spangler, being about twice as heavy as Michael, dragged his rescuer under the water. In some way the latter got away from the drowning boy’s grasp and caught hold of an iron rod that was a part of the bridge’s support. By this he managed to keep himself and Spangler from going down again until men came to their assistance. It is reported that young Michael also saved the life of another boy in June.

Hanging Baskets For Children. A great many of the little girls and boys who live in towns have no garden at all and perhaps not even a window box in which to grow a few pretty flowers. Many of them would enjoy growing flowers of their own. If they will follow these directions, they may cultivate a very pretty hanging basket. Let them ask the greengrocer for a carrot from which the top foliage has not been cut away. Cut away the carrot, leaving only about a couple of inches at the end where it joins the fern. Seoup out- the inside of this short piece of carrot and pour a little water into it. Then hang up this little bowl, still leaving the foliage upon it. At first the fern will appear to be growing upside down, but after a time it will grow upward in the right direction. Fill the hollow part with water from L.\e to time, as the water dries up, and occasionally place the carrot enl in a different position, for the sile nearest the window will grow thicler and quicker than that which hafßcss light.

Girls and Boya. Japaneß girls and boys are as clever as with their bouncing keeping them going they Hy at posture dancing, ►pinning clapping their bands, a fan over and under the bull, it on the backs of their and guiding it round the the road at will. They pretty pictures for a The ledger and kites aro much as those commonly seen in Youngsters huve They gum powder glass st rings and try to cut each free.
