AT THE
Red Tag Sale!
Many customers remarked:
My, I don't eeeiiow you can
afford to sell snch good mer
chandise so cheap."
One lady remarked to an
other that she always felt so
safe in trading with Mr. Ko-
lan ; always was satisfied ;
that she had her money's
worth in good goods. Her
friend's answer was, indeed
my whole family always ieei
at home here. Remarks like
the ahoyeare very gratifying
to us and we shall do onr
utmost to double our efforts
right along.

"I am not surprised; they
stoued and persecuted Jesus Christ,
why not me?" was the remark
with which George Harmon re
ceived the information, Friday,
that he wasto be taken to the in
sane asylum at Salem on the fol-r
lowing day. Continuing, .ar
mon said that he received 'calls"
from God and that when he was
instructed to use the rod on his
children he would have to obey.
In order to quill this obedience
to "calls" the authorities found
it necessary to place Harmon un
der arrest the early part of last
week, after he had administered
a horsewhipping to his three
daughters, aged 19, 15 and 10, i
beating the eldest about the head
and face with his fists, as related
in the last issue of the Gazette.
The authorities say that Har
mon was pertectly sane on any
aad all other topics, but that
when religion was mentioned he
was completely ."off.' He ' be
lieved himself inspired by God to

And evening shadows longer grow.
The song still thrills my being yet.

Some times I sing of Heaven above,
Sometimes my ong is of tbe earth ;
I sing of Joy, of Hope, of Love. , -
I sing of death, Ijeing of birth;
And be my song of mirth or pain'
Of 4overty or wealth in store,
I write it not that I may gain, ;
Bat that my heart is running o'er.
And it would give me great delight,
If any simple little eong
Of mine, should guide a pilgrim right
Or shield the weak against the wrong
And ao I give my verses win,
And let my song float on tbe air !
My heart 'e lighter when I sing
Let critics scoff, I little care !

The menace . of the; griprgrip
of. the kind that swept oyer the
country in -.i8$i3-is enough tb
make the stoutest heart quail. - Of
all the aggravating, t enervating, '
depressing abominations thatever,.
afflicted humanity the disorder'
that goes under this name may
well be reckoned the worst. It has
not even the grace to reach a
fatal termination quickly, but
plays upon the here nerves of the
victim for weeks and even months
b.fore allowing him to escape
its clutch by dying. Ot course
not everybody who suffers from
grip dies, but most of its victims
whine protestingly against the
continuanceof life that the insinu
ating, persistent pest has made a
burden too grievous to be hornet.
We are told there are now between- k
300 and 400 cases of the debilita
ting malady, in this city. To
these comes the ukase of experi
ence saying: Go to bed, cover up
warmly, admit plenty of fresh
air in the room, cultivate the
grace of patience, eschew drugs,
drink plenty of cold water - and
mutton broth, hope for the best,,
and iind consolation in the
thought that a needless doctor's
bill has been saved even if an
; undertaker's bill impends. -Ore-onian.
