The pupils of the upper grades were
highly entertained In tho Asssembly
Hull Frldny morning by the Honorable
I. W. McKnight, who gave a brief his
torleiil sketch of Jefferson county.
Among the numerous events ho men
tlomtl wore the following:
Tho first settler of Wlnslnw township
was John Fuller, who came hero In 1H22.
The laying out of our own city in
iwn.
Our forests were Inlinblted by fifty
spi-cies of wild animals; one of the most
notable events was the killing of tho
last buffalo in 171)0.
A few of the event which took place
In our own Immediate vicinity were,
the first coal mined for sale by Charles
Anniin, who took tint a few bushels a
day. This Industry has now grown to
the enormous extent that Instead of a
few bushels wo are now shipping to
various points of the earth tho great
amount of forty-five hundred tens a day.
Thos. Hoynolds was the first school
muster in lfCifl. The magnificent salary
of suventeen dollars and forty-four
cents was the amount received by a
teacher fifty years ago.
It is a matter of much gratification to
note the increased interest manifested
by the members In the meetings of the
Literary Society, and wo may tako a
pardonable pride In the manner in
which the program of last Friday was
rendered. The recitations, which were
rendered by Harriet Schultzo, Lois
Hobinson. Etta Shaffer, Viola McGaw,
Cornlo Dciblo and James Mulr, were of
a high order and showed careful prcpar-
ation. Mollio McDonald's paper plctur
Ing tho future was both amusing and
interesting, and If her prognostications
are correct, some of the gentler sex are
doomed to the fato-d lives of old maids.
A call being made for music Golda King
favored the society with a vocal selec
tlon which morlted the hearty applause
it recelvod. Tho meeting waa then
brought to a close by the debate, "That
the charms of the new woman exceeded
those of the old.'' Tho affirmative was
upheld by Bertha Marshall while the
negative wassupiorted by Ella Lenkerd
The arguments were presented in
rhyme. After careful deliberation the
judges rendered their decision in favor
of the "new woman."

Aphorisms.
There is no legacy so rich as honesty
Shakespeare.
Tale bearers are as bad as the tale
makers Sheridan.
However rare true love ts, true
friendship Is rarer. La Rochefoucauld.
Discontent is thewantnf self-reliance;
it is infirmity of the will. Emerson
Tho greatest truths are the simplest;
and so are the greatest men. Hare.
There Is a healthful hardiness about
real dignity that never dreads contact
with others however humble. Irving.
A man who does not learn to live
while he Is getting a living, is a poorer
man after his wealth is won than ho
was before. J. G. Holland.
Duty is what goes most against the
grain, because In doing that we do only
what we are strictly obliged to, and are
seldom much praised for it. La
Bruyere.
In good company, you need not ak
who is tho master of tho feast. The
man who sits in the lowest place, and
who is always Industrious in helping
everyone, is certainly the man. Hume,
, Concerning Gossips.
Gossip Is the conversation of the Ig
norant. Men and women who take no
delight in good literature or the higher
Intellectual pleasures, generally discuss
their neighbors' affairs. In order to
make tholr conversation spicy, they set
their imaginations to work, and build
large structures upon small foundations,
Thus Innocent persons are slandored by
the illiterate and foul minded, whose
thoughts cannot rise above the plain cf
vulgar gossip, And of all contemptible
gossips the malo gossip is the most des'
picable. We can tolerate a little ton'
dency to gossip in women, because it
seems natural to them. But tho man
who becomes a retailer of scandals is
the most revolting creature alive.

10 DO WATER FROM TREES.

nrn Tap Willi an Anvrr.
Ill many sections of the forest limds
of the south during the dry seasons a
ninn may walk for miles without find
ing n stream of water or ft spring by
which to quench his thirst. If. how
ever, lie Is nn experienced hunter and
woodsman, he will not hnve to drink
water from the stagnant pools In order
to keep life In his body.
Queer as It may seem, tin experienced
man can hunt for dnys through such
dry trncts and yet experience no In
convenience on account of tho luck of
water. Nature has provided a melius
which Is only known to the Inltlnted.
Every old huntsman carries with him
when going on a long hunt a small au
ger, by which he can secure a refresh
ing drink and water to cook with at
any moment.
A Cottonwood tree or a willow Is the
well which the wily huntsman tups.
He examines each tree nntll ho finds
one thnt has what n woodsman calls a
vein." It Is simply an attenuated
protuberance. By boring Inf.. this
vein" n stream of clear wnt'T will
flow out. It Is not sap, lint clear, pure
water. The huntsmen say that the
water Is better than the average to be
hnd from ordinary wells. There Is no
sweetish taste about It. but It has a
strong flavor of sulphur and Is slight
ly enrbonated.
The reason for this phenomenon can
not cnslly be explained, but that a sup
ply of water can be contained In a tree
Is not so surprising. The fact of Its
flowing Is the wonderful feature, show
ing thnt Is must be under pressure or.
In other words, thnt there Is more at
the source of the supply. When It Is
considered thnt the tree furnish the
water In the dry season nnd thnt the
ground Is literally baked. It la the more
rcmnrknble. especially when the roots
of the trees do not extend to any great
depth Into the ground. Memphis Scim

Ob Festive Oernalona It Arrays Itaelf
In Hired Mnerr.
The east side achieves gentility on
great occasions, albeit somewhat un
shaven ami slipshod betweeu whiles.
From Its own standpoint It does uol
spnre expense. What It cannot buy It
hires. The possibilities of renting the
set pieces and habiliments of fashion
have been thoroughly exploited east
of the ltuwery. There is none of that
pride of exclusive possession that ob
tains along thoroughfares farther west
ward. The swarming population shares
Its joys and sorrows aud garments
with Impartial hand. Many of the
brides whose brief finery startles tholr
old companions on the wedding night
hire their gowns and veils.

There are dozens of establishments
that drive a flourishing business loan
ing dross suits for a consideration. A
rigid social etiquette prescribes that
the truck driver and small shopkeeper
shall on such formal occasions as bulls
and receptions don the clawhammer,
and the downright east slder would
rather be out of tho world than out of
fashion as he understands It. The
young men who purchnsc secondhand

calling a convention of all the peoplo

gathering would be a big one. Uo dis

An Ineldenl of Lord l.arvrenee'a B
Voyage to India.
Lord Lawrence, viceroy of Indln,
was a blunt man of action, lru,-ntlent
of contradiction and thoroughly self
rellnnt. Yet, like ninny of the truly
great, he hnd n henrt as tender ns a
woman's. The night on which he
stnrted from London to govern India
he gathered nil his family lu the ill aw

favorite hymn to liltu. Ills youngest
son. HI .Veins old. liestled in his fa
ther's arms. Suddetily the strong man
burnt Into tours.
"I shall never." he cried, "see Bertie

It was not of the hardships before
him or of his own death he thought,
but of the fact that Bertie would not
be n child to him on his return.

her Infant child. She neglected tbe
baby, which revenged Itself by crying
day nnd night. The pnssengers com
plained In language more forcible tbao
polite.
"Steward, throw that baby over
board!" was petulantly shouted from
sleepless berths.
At Inst Lord Lawrence, seeing that
the child was left motherless by Ita
own mother, took It on his knee. For
hours he would hold It. showing It his
wnteh and anything that would amuse
It. The child look to the great, strong
mini nnd wns always quiet when he
held It.
"Why do you. my lord." asked one
of the relieved passengers, surprised
to see the governor genernl of India
playing nurse to a crying baby, "why
do you take such notice of thnt child?"
"Because, to tell you the truth." an
swered IiOrd Lawrence, with a merry
twinkle In his eye. "thnt child is the

quite sure, does not want to get any

Notes and Queries.
ftqnail to llie Oeeaalon.
Teople do not often make tho mis
take of giving too much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered a
Glasgow church wns an exception to
the. rule at least she thought so. She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped lu sixpence. Thou she
took her sent in tho church and waited
until tho prenchcr appeared.
To her disappointment tbe oMlclnt
ing minister was not the Dr. U. whom
she had come to hear. On Inquiry she
found that sho hud entered tho wrong
church. It was not yet too Into to hear
tbo preacher of her choice, but tbe six
pence was another matter. To lenve
It In tho box would be clear loss. The
womnu wns equal to the occasion.
