—The persistent appearance of two
ot our oldest citizens—both men up in
the seventies —on a front Beat in the
Oonrt room at the hearing of every
"spicy case" that is tried, has been the
■object of comment among the attor
neys for some time.' The two men do
not sit there "with baited breath" for
they are both Prohibs; and they are not
rejoicing over the depravity of human
nature for they are both church mem
bers, and vet they miss nothing. They
take it all in and come back for more
like a lot of school girls after gossip,
and one of onr young attorneys is
Marching his "Bacon" for a plausible
explanation.
—lt waa a courageous and praise
worthy act on the part of the resolu
tions committee of the teacher's inati
tote to apeak out and denounce snch
proceedings as in their jadgement were
not profitable. These meetings cost
the coanty a good round sum and every
aeasion should be anch aa to make each
teacher feel better prepared for his
work. Juat what good auch harangues
■a that of Hobson can do teachers or
a*jbody else is not clear. Every influ
ence of the teacher, like that of the
miniater, ahould be a leaaon of patience,
kindness and forgiveness, not of hate,
revenge and war. Every teacher
abonld be a Christain in thought and
action, if not in profession, and no trae
Christain can endorse snch wicked fal
lacies as Hobson advocates, though
many professing Christians do.—Frank

Among the antelope in the huge
double menagerie connected with Sig.
Sautelle's Nine Consolidated Railroad
Shows, to be seen at Butler, afternoon
and evening, Saturday, September 24,
there are two which are of particular
interest to every body These are the
represenatives of the species known as
the Deloo and were captured in North
Africa last year. A remarkable pecu
larity of these animals is found in a
pair of tear glands, which lie horizon
tally in a narrow streak across the hol
low of the eyes, when excited the ani
mal will cause the glands to open, not
unlike the nostrils of a snorting horse.
The Deloo is of a fawn color on the
back with a tinge of yellow in front.
Its ankles are almost black while the
flanks are white. Black stripes run
along its head and terminate in a dark
brown tuft There is every other
known specie of autelope to be found in
Mr. Sautelle's menagerie, which is re
plete with the most perfect specimens
of animal life. Wise parents will not
neglect taking their children to view
these living lessons in natural history.
If you can not afford the time or cost
of "attending the shows you can at least
come out with the little folks to witness
the majestic free street parade which
will pass through the principal thorogh
fares at 10 a. m. upon the above date.
This great pageant will contain, among
a prolusion of other mighty wonders,
several open dens of wild animals.

A SICKLY CHILD.^
A delicate constitution cxposei a

ivasteany more time and money trying
•o doctor each complaint separately.
Doctor the Constitution.
I'in-Tone takes right hold of any
weak system and builds a good
healthy foundation.
It puts life and vigor into the body
and mind. ••
That is what the child needs, that is
What any person who is weak and
sickly needs. I itatity.
People grow thin, pale, even become
so ill they are obliged to give up tiieir
accupation, when there is nothing
wrong witii them excepting they are so
tired, so weak, their vitality is so low.
To say that Fin-Tone is worth its
weight i:i gold to those suffering from
a lack of energy is to speak lightly of
it. It is invaluable as it begins its
work with the first dose and in a
remarkably slicrt space of time the
patient is restored to a healthy vigor
ous condition.
Many miserable wrecks have been
transformed into strong happy men
and women by this marvel of recent
medical discoveries, lin- Tone.
Good for little folks and big folks
