A PETRIFIED PEACH.
Upon my table.is a peach,
A free-stone. I suppose,
With body rolled In yellow gold.
And on Its cheek, a rose.
It Is a luscious treat for rue;
My lips with water run;
1 stay the pen, and let it be.
Until the fruit Is done.
Then reach I forth to take the peach
With open knife In hand;
I lift It up, I pat It down.
As If by stern command.
It has tbe look and form of irult.
But all the weight of lead;
I'm mystified, though very mute.
And only rub my head,
A thought swells slowly np In mind
With scientific pride:—
Tbat pe-.-cli once hung upon a tree.
But now is petrified.

I said, as I stood in the valley.
The ghost haunted valley ofjgloom:
"Do I breathe—do I dream—am 1 living-
Can this be the door of ber tomb? "
Then I knew I could not be dreaming.
For a word was engraved on tbe door;
I knew my heart was still beating,
As my lips spoke the word—"nevermore!"
Then I knew I stood In the valley.
The valley Golgotha, to me;
The demon cursed valley, Golgotha,
Stretching down to a Sodomite sea.
A fiend on a rock by the charnal;
Shrieked Into my soul's deepest core;
Ah I shr/eked as can only a demon.
That terrible word—'-'Nevermore!"
Then a black, somber, croaking raven
Flapped bis ebony wings in the gloom.
As he flew from the blasted forest.
And perched on tbo door of the tomb,
And chained in this valley, Golgotha,
I hear In that dark sea's roar.
In tbe shriek of the flend, the raven's croak.
Forever that word—"Never more 1"

A LCLLABT.
BT THOMAS DUNN.ESGI.ISH.
Oh, rare the honey-dew that drips.
By love distilled from baby's lips;
And sweet the breath that from them flows
Laden with odors of tbe rose.
Sleep, darling, snugly folded np,
A rosebud in its mossy cup-
Sleep, baby, sleep I
Away from earth ber spirit seems
To wander In tbe land of dreams;
But wbat within that realmlshe sees
Is part of nature's mysteries;
Tbe secrets ot ber deep repose
The baby never may disclose—
Sleep, baby, sleep 1
The hush of evening, deep and calm,
Descends to eaith with tender balm;
The blossoms fair their petals close.
And nod and sink to soft repose;
Sleep, darling, till the dawn, aud then
Bring glory lo the world again—
Sleep, baby, sleep 1
Mr. Peddicord _ Dad In Bed.
EE TAKES TEE DOCTOR - ADVICE AND OB
TAINS SOME INTERESTING RESULTS.
"I think I'll stay in bed today," re
marked John Henry Peddioord when the
alarm clock went off at 7 a few mornings
afro. "1 don't feel very well, and I read a
few days since an article by a prominent
physician, in which he said that if people
wonld go to bed and stay there a whole
day in every month, and keep quiet, tbey
would live to a good old age."
"Well, I think I would," said Mrs.
John Henry Peddicord encouragingly.—
"Yon have been complaining of a severe
headache for _over.l days, and I have be
come quite anxious about yon." So John
Henry tnrned over on his pillow and set
tled himself for his unwonted luxury.
He had just got to sleep again when tbe
baby woke up. Tbe had not read
the learned artiole by the prominent physi
cian, and it would have bad no effeot on
her if she bad. Sbe was opposed to sleep
on general principles, at any time, day or
night, and only succumbed at tbe latter
time from dire necessity, wben sbe could
no longer prop ber eyes open. But stay in
bed all day? Never 1
Baby's waking was the signal for her
mamma to rise.
"John Henry, love," said Mrs. Peddi
cord, "as you are not going to get up, I
think I'li let yon amuse baby while I dress.
The girl is busy tbis morning; it's ironing
morning, yon know. It'll be such a help."
So while Mrs. Peddioord dressed, John
Henry Peddicord tried to amuse the baby,
but tbe attempt was not a gigantio sue
cess. The baby wanted to get up bave
begin its day's work, but John Henry, and
ing resolved to put into practice the
prominent, physician's theory, conld not ac
cede to the infant's demand, though it was
supported by much heavy wailing.
To assist in the general work of amnsing
baby, Mrs John Henry Peddicord un
loaded on the bed a varied assortment of
toys. There were dolls, tin wagons, loco
motives, building blooks and tbe like.
By tbe aid of these adjuncts to infantile
paciiioation tnd tbe expenditure ot more
vital force than an entire day's work at the
office would consume, John Henry kept the
baby in a state of comparative quiet for
ten minutes, and tbe word "comparative"
is used advisedly.
By this time Mrs. John Henry Peddioord
was dressed.
"I'll take the baby now and dress her,"
she said. "I'm sure she hasn't bothered
you much, love. S'e's dust as dood as
dold; s'e is mommer's 'ittle toddles."
Tbe second half of Mrs. John Henry's
remarks was addressed to the baby, not to
John Henry.
"Mommer" took the baby, and John
Henry snuggled into his pillow for another
snooze. He had Bcaroely sot to sleep when
he was awakened by the wife of his
bosom.
"I'll go and bring up your breakfast,
love, if you'll just mind the baby while I
go downstairs for it. There's the break
fast bell now. Baby will be good, I'm
sure. I'll set her on the bed and you oan
play with her-"
But baby bad some conscientious soruples
about going to bed jnst after dressing, and
she filed several emphatic protests, which
the disappearance of ber mamma did not
tend to render less energetic.
Tbis time John Henry's efforts to as-
Buage the grief of his child were utterly
unavailing. He endeavored to explain to
ber tbat tbe features of Edna, the chubby
rubber doll, were worthy of more than a
casual glance, but baby would not listen.—
Equally unavailing were bis efforts to point
out the wonderful beauties of a "choo
choo" locomotive.
But finally Mrs. John Henry came to ber
lord's assistance and carried oft tbe baby,
while he sat up in bed, propped with pil
lows, ate his buttered toast and bis boiled
eggs, drank his coffee, and thought tbat
tbe prominent physician's idea was not
such a bad one after all.
His breakfast eaten, John Henry Peddi
oord lay and dozed and lazily dreamed for
perhaps half an hour, when his wife in
vaded the bedroom again.
She had an idea.
"John Henry," she said, "I've no end of
shopping to do, and I just believe I'll go
to day, while you are at borne. No one
oan take care of the baby as well as you.—
1 feel so much eater when yon are home
with baby dear, and yoa won't mind, will
yon, love?"
John Henry groaned inwardly.
Ob, no; be wouldn't mind at all. And
be didn't for a whole half hour after Mrs.
Peddioord had disappeared. The baby bad
STAUNTON, VA.. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1890.
been fed, and for the space ot thiny
minutes thereafter was a model of angelio
sweetness. Then oame a change, how
ever, and the infant becamo more exacting.
John Henry performed various gymnastic
evolutions on tbe bed for bis audience of
one infant, which were duly applauded un
til the spectator desired a change of
programme and made ber desire known
very promptly.
After Mrs. Peddlcord had been gone an
honr John Henry thought tbis thing of
staying at home to rest was a delusion aad
a snare, and he tried to concoct a good

A TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.
"Hark, Cyrnsl Wbat was that?"
"Nothing Emily. Let me go to sleep,
will you?"
For a few moments silenoe reigned in the
sleeping chamber.
"Cyrus Winterbottom, there's somebody
in the housel I bear a noise in the kitch
en!"
Cyrus sat up in his bed and listened.
"I''a the oat," he grumbled drowsily.
"A oat doesn't wear boots and go around
opening doors. Hark!"
The baby stirred and Mrs. Winterbottom
soothed it to rest again.
"I don't see what anybody wants to get
Into our kitchen for," growled Cyrus with
a yawn. "There's nothing to—heigh hoi—
to steal in that part of tbe bouse, is there?"
"Nothing to steal! There's a plate full
of tarts, a pan of doughnuts, and a sponge
cake." Some of your—heigh-ho—your
own conooction, Emily?"
"Yes, some of my own making. Then
there's all the silverware and—"
"He'll never get to the silverware, Emily,
if he tackles the doughnuts first. You will
find bis honibly distorted body in the morn
ing "
"Hash! Hark!"
He listened again. All was quiet. Bat
presently an unmistakable sound as of some
body moving about on the floor below,
aroused even Cyrus' dull senses. Steps
seemed to be approaching the stairway.
Cyrus took his revolver out from under his
pillow, climbed softly out of bed, went to
the door of the room and got behind it, first
having oautioned his wife in a whisper to
make no noise and leave matters entirely in
his hands.
Softly and stealthily oame tbe steps up
stairs, and iv a few moments the dim light
of the night lamp on the dressing case fell
upon tbe stalwart form of a man whose face
was concealed by a mask.
Mrs. WiDterbottom screamed at sight of
him, and the baby woke np aud howled,
and before the burglar conld recover from
the momentary confusion into which this
unexpected receptien bad thrown bim,
Cyrus confronted bim with the revolver.
"_ou infernal scoundrel!" he hissed.
Don't you move a muscle or I'll put a ball
through you!"
The revolver hadn't been loaded for a
year or more, and Cyras knew it, but tbe
burglar didn't.
The pitiful wretch stood perfectly still.
"Take off your maskl" sternly command
ed Cyrus*
Tbe burglar complied. With ashen face
and mean bang-dog look be stood there,
and said not a word. Mrs. Winterbottom
bad recovered ber self-possession, but the
baby continued to howl.
"It would serve you right, you sr.eaktog
contemptible villain," said Cyrus in a deep
tragic voice, "if I should shoot you wbere
you stand. I believe I'll do it, anyhow."
"Mercy! Mercyl" pleaded the trembliug
wretch. "It's tbe first time I ever broke
into a bouse. I'll never do it again. Plo. so
let me go.
It's tbe first time you were ever caught
at it! It'll be the last. Down ou your
knees!"
"Don't kill him, Cyrusl" begged his wife.
"Think of the carpet!"
"Listen!" said Cyrus, oomingolose to tbe
kneeling burglar. "Hold up your bands.
While tbe fellow's bands were np Cyras
rifled his pockets. He took therefrom two
loaded revolvers, a bowie knife, a dagger, a
slung shot, a bottle of chloroform and a
sand bag.
"Yonr first offense, is it?" said Cyrus.
"For a novice at tbe business you oarry a
pretty good kit of tools. Stand up!"
Tbe burglar obeyed.
"Are you a man of family."
"Yes sir, O, please "
''Stop your whining!"
A look of hard, stern, relentless purpose
settled on Cyras' face. He pointed the
revolver at tbe abject scoundrel's head
again.
"Go and take that bably" be command
ed. .
"Wh—what for?"
"Never mind what for! You go and take
that baby!"
"Cyrusl" exclaimed Mrs. Winterbottom
in dismay, '.'what do yon mean?"
"I know what lam about, Emily. Pick
np that squalling infant, you villain 1"
The man obeyed.
"Handle it carefully!"
"Yes Bir!"
"Now walk the floor witb itl"
For four long hours Cyras Winterbottom
held that empty revolver leveled at the
head of the miserable man and compelled
bim to walk up and down the room with
the crying, squirming infant in his arms.
At daybreak, the cringing, orawling vil
lain was permitted to sneak away from the
premises, a broken hearted man.
His raven hair had turned gray in that
one night.
It was a horrible retribution, but who
shall say it was not deserved!
And thus we learn, my ohildren, that
crime sometimes brings its own punishment,
and tbat the way of tha transgressor con
tinues to be bard. — Chicago Tribune.

THE LATE ELECTION A WHOLESOME LESSO
FOB POLITICAL PABTIES.
Ia a letter expressing his regret at being
unable to take part in a recent democratic
celebration io Savannah, Ga., to which he
had been invited, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
writes:—
It is not possible for me to be with you,
but I will thank you to express to my fel
low-democrats in Savannah my sincere con
gratulations npon the unmistakable arrest
placed by tbe American people npon the re
publican leaders ia tbeir headloog and in
sistent march toward arbitrary power.
Bach an expression of popular sentiment
reinvigorates the hope of all lovers of oivil
liberty and popular self-government, and
proclaims the vitality of the democratic
principle upon which the best hopes of our
government are founded. I earnestly hope
tbat the representatives of tbe party wbicb,
a year hence, will be placed in control of
tbe House of Representatives, will compre
hend the true significance af the late eleo
tion.
. The republican party and its polioies
bave been condemned, and power transfer
red to democratic hands; but it is placed
there in trust, in the confidence that it will
be exeroiaed temperately, wisely and con
scientiously. If it is not, it will be recall
ed.
I know of no more wholesome instruction
for political parties in this country than the
constant reminder tnat they are always on
trial before the country, and* at each elec
tion must stand for judgment at the bar of
an intelligent publio opinion.
The republican party seems to have for
gotten this, and to have become besotted
with power and dulled to insensibility by its
long possession and consequent abuse.
Therefore they believed publio conscience
was dead when it waa only sleeping, and
they conceived that they could entrench
themselves permanently in pewer by arbi
trary statutes, and that popular disfavor
could not expel them. Tbey have had a
sudden and unexpected awakening, and 1
trust tbeir successors will gather wisdom
and instruction from their downfall.
Let as hope the democratic majority of
the next House of Representatives will not
forget the conditions upon which popular
confidence oan be retained, nor underrate
their great responsibilities.
The plain duty of an American represen
tative is to base bis popularity upon absolute
fidelity to his constituency, and this begins
in that personal dignity and self-respect tbat
may possibly oompel him to displease his
constituents, but never to mislead them.
The independent conscience of each repre
sentative is a safeguard of the greatest
value to his people. A subservient creature
oan be no true friend nor trustworthy agent
in aoy relation of life, publio or private.
The present overthrow of the republican
party is manifestly dne to tbe lack of per
sonal independence in opinion and action of
its leaders, who sinned against light, and
led their party, or suffered it to be led, to
its downfall.
Not a manly or true voice was heard in
the House or in the Senate daring the late
session from the republican side to warn
tbeir party against extreme measures, or to
denounce wilh jusi indignation tbe destruc
tive and uuAmerican rales of Reed or his
offensive aad brata! methods of administra
tion,
There were a few and faint expostulations
against some features of the McEiniey bill
among the republicans, but they were
smothered acd stifled by moral cowardice
and want of confidence in popular intelli
gence. I hope, indeed, that the incoming
era of democratic administration, npon the
threshold of which we are now apparently
standing, may be marked by individual in
dependence of opinioo and action, and tbat
tbe spirit of party may never be allowed to
cow tbe spirit of American manhood, nor
silence the voice of individual conviction.
Political parties are but agencies for pop
ular government, and men are tbe instru
mentalities through which parties must
aobieve tbeir ends. Therefore, ia the last
analysis of government, whether of a party
or a nation, the personal character of the
men chosen will prove to be tbe safest reli
ance of the people wbo trust them.
Now is the time, therefore, for the na
tional democracy to send demagogues to the
rear and call able men of independent char
acter —statesmen wbo love tbe people, but
do not fear or distrust tbem—to the front.
With charaoter and conscience ia the lead
our onward march to a restored constitu
tional government of co-equal States in one
mighty nnion of republics will be steady
and unimpeded.

Girls Behind the Counter.
If I were asked to give a set of rules or
suggestions for girls whose days are spent
behind tbe counter, tbey would read some
thing like this:—
Remember tbat all the time spent in tbe
store belongs to yonr employer.
That courtesy behind tbe counter wins
even the most captious customer.
Tbat gossip about young men, or with
tbem, is unbusinesslike, and, under the
circumstances, rude.
Never attempt to instrnet a customer;
while you may suggest, or politely ques
tion, tne desirability of tbis or tbat.
Do not say, "Here Sade, band me your
pencil," to your neighbor.
Never say, "No, we haven't got it," in a
short, crisp tone; far better a polite "I am
Borry to say we do not have it in stock "
Do not thrust a package at _ customer
as you would a pistol in the face of a high
wayman.
Never throw down goods with an air
whicb seems to say, "I do not care wheth
or you buy it or not."
Remember that tbe purchaser often sees
more io the seller than she thinks, and re
fined young women have made valuable
friends for life by their oourtesy to an ac
complished customer.
Always remember, that duty to yonr em
ployer demands your best service, and duty
to yourself also. .
Seek to be a model saleswoman, and
some one will soon recognize your merits.
Dress modastly and avoid cheap jewelry,
the best ornam-uts are: promptness,
politeness, a well modulated voice, and
strict-ttention to duty.
Have your hair neatly combed, your
teeth well brushed and your finger-nails
tidy, Customers are often repelled by
untidy clerks of either sex.
Remember always, tbat you are superior
to circumstances on'y when you make
yourself so. The most selfish, t-acting
employer will gladly recognize the merits
of an efficient cleik.
Frown down with womanly scorn the
disss sensical title of "saleslady." It is a
grand thing to be a woman anything; if
you are a true acd good woman, a good
clerk is infinitely more respectable than a
so-c.lled "saleslady," and tbe term bas a
shoduyish ring which is totally un-Ameri
can.
Ou»of two hundred olerks in a large es
tablishment, tbe favorite witb nearly all of
the c.siomers, is a young woman who in
variably dresses modestly in black, and
has such cbarmi.g manners ttat it is a
positive pleasure to visit ber department.—

Talk with Grover Cleveland.
What He Has to Sat About Ohio Poli
tics and Tariff Reform.
Tbe Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer yes
terslay printed a long, authorized interview
witb Orover Cleveland, of which the fol
lowing are the most salient points: Mr.
Cleveland didn't want to talk. He said he
thought he had t-lked.enough. Besides,
everything he says for publication gives his
enemies an opportunity to "mount" him,
as he expressed it. He spoke enthusiasti
cally of his trip to Ohio on the occasion of
the recent banquet to the "Old Roman."
' 'What do you think of the condition of
Ohio, politically. *
"It seems to me that the State is in the
best of bands; certainly that there has been
a wonderful change of sentiment on tbe
taiifi question within the last few years.
There is absolutely no division in the State
now on that question, as far aa I can learn.
It is only two or three years siaoe, fur local
reasons, tbe Ohio democrats were exces
sively timorous on the snbjeot of tariff re
torm. Free wool was a nightmare. The
State conventions and some of the congres
sional conventions insisted on a saving
clause in their platforms on that subjeot.
Yet, even then, some of tbe protectionist
democrats got out beyond their depth. Ob,
you are setting a lively paoe out in Ohio.
The movement for a reduotion of tariff tax
ation has even invaded Pennsylvania, the
stronghold of high protection. All the ma
terial interests of that State are bound np
in the protection theory and committed to
the preservation of the war duties whioh
have benefited them so much, and yet
headway has been made there. In the late
campaign, it is true, national issues did not
figure extensively in the canvass. It was
a contest between the selfish and unscrupu
lous methods of self constituted bosses on
the one hand and good government on tbe
other. And it was a sublime spectaoie to
witness the triumph of deoenoy. Bat not
withstanding the nature of the campaign,
the tariff reform doctrine had its effeot
there, as it had in the States of the Union
where it unmistakably asserted itself on
the day of the election. The result tends
to re-establish a man's faith in the integri
ty of the people. No one had a suspicion
of the spontaneity and tbe strength of the
uprising. I don't suppose a single demo
crat, in the wildest dreams of his imagina
tion, oame within 30—no, I'll Bay 100—of
the democratic majority in the next Honse.
I heard enthusiastically sanguine demo
crats say that we wonld have fifty majority
in the House, but I don't believe tbat any
body supposed it wonld be more."
Mr. Cleveland, after inquiring about Gov.
Campbell's health, spoke admiringly of tbe
Governor. "Campbell is a growing man,"
said he, "and I think his prestige is con
stantly increasing. His fight for municipal
reform in Cincinnati may not have been
poiitio, but it was certainly a brave act, and
the people applaud bravery. I myself
would be chary aboat admitting that
Campbell had made a mistake after the
consummate ability he displayed ia handl
ing the ballot-box for_orv oase."
Wise Words.—Mr. Henry Watterson,
one of tbe most brilliant Demccrats in this
country, says in an editorial in his paper,
the Courier-Journal:
"What was once the opinion of a few
thoughtful men concerning tariff reform has
oome to be the oonviotion of a majority of
tbe American people."
Then, after reviewing the history ot tarifl
legislation and giving Mr. Cleveland due
oredit for the part he played in bringing the
Democracy forward on this great issue, Mr.
Watterson continues:
"Democrats now must still force the
fighting. The recent election is only an
episode in the great contest. The panic
stricken enemy will rally their forces next
winter for 1892. No victory-is ever so com
plete as at first appears. The resources at
the command of the Republican leaders
cannot be over-estimated. After tbe assas
sination of Garfield it seemed as if tbe Re
publicans would not be able even to con
test the election of 1884, but the Democrats
succeeded in electing Cleveland only by the
skin of tneir teeth.
"If we are to succeed in 1892, the cam
paign must open now. The meeting of
Congress in December mast find the Dem
ocrats alert, active, aggressive, eager, en
thusiastic, but not over-confident. Educa
tion on tbe tariff must continue. Reciproc
ity is only an ambush to cover the retreat
of tbe enemy. It is a concession, the mean
ing and scope of which most be explained
from day to day. It is the last - position
where tbe enemy can expect to fight; it is
there they mast make their last desperate
rally, aud they must be driven back with
out concession or conditions."
These are wise words and cannot fail to
have their influence on the Democratic
leaders as well as the rank and file.

to which for wealthy purchasers an addi

of fur most worn are seal, mink, otter,
beaver, astrakhan, Persian lamb, lynx,
sable or monkey and a suggestion may be
mide that in' buying furs, it is of the ut
most importance to deal with a reliable
house such for example as that of C. C.

OPERA CLOAKS
in brooade lined with ermine or the white,
fluffy fur Mandarin are rioh and beautiful.
Shapes are loose and even where no sleeves
appear, the inevitable high shoulders are
a feature. Superb cloaks are made whol
ly of ermine lined with silk and yet greater
elegance is imparted by passementerie
wbioh is laid as a border on the fur and also
on the lining up the front. Short wraps of
ermine for evening may also be adorned by
passementerie and will be in much favor
because easily slipped off and on, less ex
pensive than long cloaks and although
quite suitable for ladies who occupy boxes,
are likewise adapted to others not able to
afford snch luxurious positions. Mandarin
fur also makes pretty and warm short even
ing wraps and is especially becoming to
slender young persons. For
evening wear
at parties the leading material of thin text
are, is Mousseline de soie embroidered in
silk, silver or gilt _v _ one might almost as
well endeavor to reckon up tha flowers of
the field, as to portray tbe innumerable
varieties in oolor and design. Surfaces are
usually white or black, because affording
proper back grounds for the pictures set
npon them and which differ in richness
from suoh as weigh down the sheer found
ation, to others that charm by a delicate
overcasting. The greater number show
comparatively heavy designs around the
bottom of the skirt, from whence taper off
shoots of delightful character, but some
are bestrewn at intervals by single large
flowers or sprays. Silver or gilt are inter
mixed with silken embroideries in natural
or art colors or again may glitter alone on
black surface* with a :ichness not other
wise attainable. Headings may come in
for a share in the beautiful woik and cast
irridescent lights ia white, may bring about
a lovely purity or on black present a sub
dued elegance which attracts i_._ who
might not wish too great brilliancy of color
iog or glitter of metal. Fine Brussels net
oompetes with Mousseline de soie as an on
derlyiag fabric but the latter distinctly
leads.
NOTES AND ANSWEBS.
Mouseline de soie handkerchiefs are ex
tremely popular but more for show than
use, are placed in the front of corsages or
in assortments of fashionable liDgene are
seen caught up prettily to be worn instead
of j \b ots.
The newest street garment is a circular
reaching almost half wa> down the skirt
and coming from a yoke. This is a prelude
to the Elizabethan cloak for carriage wear
which is a long circular pendant from an
elaborate yoke showing a Medici collar and
full ruff inside.
To "Mrs. W," the answer is given that
tbe hair for evening is almost always dress
ed high aud that while ornaments are fash
ionable, yet nothing is more stylish than a
high comb. Ladies are having old time
ones cut smaller but the shops are supplied
with new ones in tortoise shell.
"_. C." Feather boas are a rage and
either come in a close circlet, or quite long.
Cocks' or ostrioh feathers are used aud
either are more stylish than long fur boas.
For indoors iv the evening, beautiful cir
clets are made of flowers.

fended a man charged with murder In Ed
gar county. This case was a serious one
for tbe defendant, and Voorhees and Mann
exhausted their talent in his defenoe, witb
scarcely a hope of successfully proving his
innocence. Tbe trial was long and bitter
ly co.tested; the jury was out for hours, {
and finally this verdict was read in court:
"We, the jury, flad the defendant not guil

As the reading of tbe verdict broke the
stillness of the oourt-room, Voorhees sprang
to his feet, seized Mann by the arm with a
olutob tbat nearly took a piece oat, and in
a hoarse, commanding whisper, said:
"Come on! Let's take a walk." They
left the court room and walked iv silence
down the street for some distance. Then
Voorhees stopped, laid his haod on Mann's
arm, aud said impressively:
"Joe, you're a good oitizen, and I be

do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.
