Oround to Pieces Under a Train.
Tho body of Clyde C. Covert, of Con
tent, a hamlet near Brookvllle, was
found scattered along tho track In the
P. R. H. tunnel at Brookvllle about
midnight Thursday night by a section
hand. The body was ground to pleoes
and had It not been tor a letter found
in ono of the pockets the body could
not have been Identified. The letter
was from a girl In Summervlllo, with
whom Covert had an engngmen for
Thursday evening. It Is not known what
train killed Covert. A weitbound
freight train passed through Brookvllle
about 8.00 p. m. and the supposition Is
that he attempted to Jump on the
freight train to go to Summeryllle and
was draggod to tunnel and was there
ground to pieces. The night shifting
crew of this place, C. O. Anderson, con
ductor, gathered up the pieces of the
body and put It In a box.
Howe's High Grade Moving Pictures.
The only first class moving picture
exhibition In America to-day is that of
Lyman H. Howe, who Is the pioneer of
that particular entertaining and unlaue
class ot exhibitions. Beyond the least
doubt his show for the soason of 1900
and 1901 Is the finest, best and most
elaborato that time and money can pro
duce. He leads and others make weak
attempts to follow. He ha many imi
tators, but no equals. This season's
exhibition Is as far ahead of all others
as day Is of nlgbt. This statement will
be verified by his exhibition, which
will appear here at Assembly hall on
Thursday, January 10.
Giving Christmas Presents.
"When thou makest gifts." remark
an old English writer, "let them be of
such things as will last long; to the end
that they may be in some Bort immor
tal, and may frequently refresh the
memory of the receiver." But Immor
tality is not necessarily a blessing, aa
theology teaches us, and freauentiv It
occurs that the Christmas gifts we
uve received recall not pleasant
memories. The matter of givluir gifts
on Christmas, however, is one of the
most perploxing things imaginable.
"It the man at the door have no shoe
you have not to consider whether vnn
could procure him a paint-box," writes
r-mcraon. unfortunately the knowledge
of the proper thing is not alwaya so
plain and the same writer continues:
"It at any time it comes into my head
that a present is duo from me to some
body, I am puzzled what to give until
the opportunity be gone." This feeling
of duty, however, destroys all the
beauty of the gift, for though "It is al
ways pleasant to be generous, It is very
vexatious to pav debts." The nrlnnlnln
of duty, to, reminds one of the old It
alian proverb, "a purchase is cheaper
than a gift." Let your giving be
free and generous, or give not at all.
even In duty. And If some one lacking
inspiration what to give you, presents
an entirely useless gift, remember
that it is a good man who can receive a
gift woll; make it, therefore, a point of
honor to be obliged to those who en
deavor to oblige you.

SOME CHRISTMAS "DON'TS" TO KEEP IN
MIND WHEN GIVING AND RECEIVING GIFTS.
Don't think that you are to poor to
keep Christmas.
Don't spend so much money on Christ
mas that you can't get even with the
butcher and grocer until March.
Don't give presents that are a pleasure
for ten minutes and a burden and a
worry for ten years.
Don't give your husband something
he don't want, just heoause you want It
yourself or it will look nice In the par
lor. This "don't" works the other way
also, though men are not often sinners
in this line.
Don't forget that a basket of fruit or a
box ot out flowers Is just as nice a pres
ent in many cases as something that
will last a good deal longer.
Don't try to look a gift hone In tho
The County Institute.
The forty-sixth annual session of the
Jefferson county teachers' Institute was
held in the Belvedere oera house at
Brookvllle this week, and It was a very
Interesting Institute. The teachers
were well pleased with both the day In
structors and evening entertainments,
and they highly appreciate County
Superintendent Teltrlck's efforts to
give them the best talent possible for
Institute week. The program, as an'
nouncod by Prof. Teitrlck, was carried
out, and the teachers' were not disap
pointed.
Prof. Teitrlck has not only raised the
standard of the county Institute, but he
ha also raised the standard of the
schools in the county during the six
years be has held the office of county
superintendent. He has certainly
proven himself to be a proficient super
intendent, and there Is not a shadow of
a doubt but that he will be re-elected
next May, and that without opposition,
as he would have big odds against any
opponent.
