What is the rent of that house?
Honest Agent—It is for rent
for a song to any one who will
take it. The house is haunted.
Pooh! I am not afraid of
spooks.
Agent— No tenant has stayed
there over one night since a
murder was committed in it.
They say the racket raised by
the spirits is fearful, howls fill
the air, chains rattle, dreadful
specters hit about—
They can’t scare me.
Agent—But tenants complain
that the furniture is knocked
about and broken.
I will risk that.
Agent—And the piano is play
ed by unseen hands.
Whose hands?
Agent—The hands of the wo
men who was killed. They rec
oginize her by the fact that the
tunes were her favorite pieces,
‘‘Maiden’s Prayer,” “Silvery
Waves,” and others.
Well, I am not afraid, but
show me some other house.—

OBITUARY.
With sorrow, we ask space to
say a few words to the memory
of little Sada, daughter of J. W.
and Ella Barrentine. She fell a
sleep in Jesus’ arms Sunday
evening at 5.30 o’clock Novem
ber 17, 1901. She was two years
and one month old. She was a
bright little girl and made home
happy for papa and mamma, but
the all wise father, who doeth all
things well “caledl her from a
world of care, an everlasting
bliss to share.”
We extend our deep sympathy
to the bereaved parents and pray
that this deep affliction may be
sanctified to their good and to the
glory of God.
"Sleep on dear child and take thy rest.
In Jesus arms forever hiess."
One Who Loved Her.

“the dead hen.”
Died at the farm of W. B.
Dougherty the only and best be
haved chicadoodle that ever en
joyed the sunlight of this world.
When we take a retrospective
glance at the career of this noted
creature, we at once hear the
echoes of Gray as he said “The
paths of glory lead but to the
grave.” Our readers will re
member that only a week or two
ago this the prototype of
the feathery tribe was turned
over to our friend Miss Nina
Riggs. She at once bent every
energy to the task of improving
the education of this hen. With
her old time zeal as a teacher,
she soon gave the student more
than its intellectual capacity
could grasp and assimilate. Af
ter a few days of severe illness
in the regions of the head, the
poor thing passed to its reward.
There is no doubt, but that the
innocent creature died. It died
the death of a martyr; as its only
hope and desire on earth was tc
promote the condition of her sex
Mr. Dougherty informed us
that the chicadoodle leaves be
hind her two little ones. He en
tertains great hopes of these fol
lowing the advice of their deceas
ed mother and may some day b(
heard from. We njrtice Unck
Bill helping the telephone gan£
j raise a pole the other day whicl
! to us was a great surprise s<
soon after the demise of his
chicken-pet. But we must over
look this as that was a large pole
and Uncle Bill is the strongest
man in this conntry. If anyone
sees sadness written on Uncle
Bill’s countenance, which is usu
ally so pleasant and cheerful,
you attribute it to the above cir
cumstance. Uncle Bill don’t
take this so hard, but remember
you can once more see the moth
er in her progeny and do as she
asked you. Educate them in the
way they should go and sunshine
and bliss will soon be yours
again.
Now to Miss Nina, “cease re
pining for behind the clouds the
sun’s still shining.” The chicker
died and you were the doctor wh(
helped her pass from time t<
eternity, but you should no
weep nowr. Don’t shed tears o
grief over spilt milk. Let this
be a lesson to you to be more
moderate in tutoring and when
you begin the education of the
young ones, gradually lead them
from the darkness of ignorance
| into the light and liberty of a full
and well rounded specimen of
the feathery fowls.

P. M. Howarth, who makes the
funny pictures on the front color
page of the Sunday St Louis

highest paid artist in the world.
His contributions, which for sev

L York comic weekly famous, at
