p. Y' 1IEI. In this city Jan. 11, 1S88, infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs.

J. W. Arnold. A tender tlower has been plucked fresh and smiling as a rose, the little infant was rapidly developing into a rosy cherub, and her baby prattle sent sunshine and joy to the home of her parents, completing their happiness. But death came and seized upon the innocent babe, and, like a faded tlower, she was taken away to a brighter world, leaving parents childless, desolate and sad.

The tender little bud. that was only yesterday emitting its fragrance of love and beauty to all around has been plucked by the angel of death to be transplanted in the paradise of God, where it will bloom in immortal glory among the pure and holy. The sympathy of the Tribune is extended to the bereaved parents.

i G. BAMEI Yfhy lullio Obligations Should be Dis. charged Faithfully and Cheerfully. Periodically the officers of courts complain of the disposition of men oi business, wealth and standing in the community to shirk jury duty, and oi the expedients of evasion and escape to which some of them resort, going so far even as to subject themselves to the liability of being proceeded against for contempt of court. In view of the importance of having only "good men and true" on our grand juries and our petit juries, and of the vital issues that are often involved in their indictment! and verdicts, including property interests and the guilt or innocence oi persons charged with crimes and misdemeanors, it is remarkable that any citizen fit for such honorable duty should be unwilling to take his turn when drawn as a juryman.

The efficient administration of justice depends in great part upon the character of our juries, and the courts should not be embarrassed or subjected to needless trouble or delay by efforts of good citizens to evade such servico. The turn of each individual citizen to act as juryman comes only once in a great while not more than once or twice a lifetime, perhaps and the term of service is generally so brief that even the busiest of men can afford the lime, if they only choose to think so. At all events, in order to do each his due share as a member of the community toward insuring and maintaining justice and protecting the interests of society, every good citizen should be willing to give a portion of his time to this class of public duties occasionally, even though it be at some individual sacrifice. It should deemed a privilege rather than a hardship; for if the good citizens shirk such service the probability is that bad, citizens will be found who will be only too eager oi the opportunity, and we all know what the consequences would be consequences that the better class of people are directly interested in preventing. There is something almost inexplicable in the reluctance with which some otherwise reasonable men consent to perform public duty, however brief the time required.

They shrink from jury duty, from political duty, or from any other duty that calls them out of their, offices, stores, factories or shops for a few hours each jTcar or each decade of years, as if they owed nothing to the community but every thing to themselves. This ia not good citizenship it is equal to bad citizenship. It indicates a lack of patriotism and of public spiiit. It indicates a degree of indifference to the interests of the public and of society that is only a degree short of treason. Every citizen of a free country that is ruled by law and so much depends upon the" disposition of citizens to conform to the requirements of the law and to co-operate, with those who are intrusted with its administration, should be prompt to respond to the call of duty at all times.

He should be willing to serve as a delegate to a convention, as an officer at elections, at inquests, on juries, whenever called upon to do so. It is his duty to do it a duly which, if he refuses to perform, an I will in all probability be performed by one who is less competent or less faithful. That disposition which causes men to shrink from and to cvada this class of public duties is not commendable or creditable. It in a sign of weakness on the part of the shirker, and an element not only of weakness but of danger to the community. Each and all of us owe something owe much, if not every thing to the State, to society, and lo the maintenance of justice and the common welfare, and the better element of the population can not afford to give over the work 'ot administering justice and carrying out ne forms of law and government to the disreputable and the untrustworthy, no more than any of us who have a proper regard for their individual interests can afford to transfer our homes or our private business to other" hands.

In brief, eveiy man should bear in miud that, as a faithful citizcu, he has public duties and obligations lo discharge as well as his private interests to look after, and that those public concerns, beirg closely-related to his private interests, can no more be neglected without serious consequences, sooner or than his private, affairs can be. left to take care of themselves. Chicago Journal With ill-concealed emotion he took the thin, worn hand in his and drew it gently toward him. at this moment would seem to him the intensity of bitterness. The pas, with its struggle for existence, the present and its desolation, the future shrouded in uncertainty, all came lefore him as in a dream.

If an axe-cut is made in the bark of one of these trees in spring, the sap flows from the wound in a great stream; and whenever an opening in the bark is made, the fluid escapes for a consider able time.

These facts are given by a recent observer, who mentions noticing great drops falling from one broken branch at the rate of one a second, the tree having been in a "weeping" condition for at least ten days.

He was an officer and had a young colored man for his cook. Wheii the the great bulk of them, decided, after a hot fight, to withdraw' from the fort, the Captain looked around for his servant, but the negr was nowhere to be en.

California Beet Sugar. Claus Spreckels, the California sugar king, recently addressed 600 farmers on the question of raising sugar beets. He said they could net from $50 to $75 an acre tor beets; that he would put up a factory to make beet sugar that would consume 350 tons of beets every twenty-four hours. providing the farmers guaranteed to cultivate a certain- number of acres in beets each year. If one factory wasn't enough he'd build another, or give $100,000 toward one if the farmers wanted to build it themselves.

"I am now in my 60th year," he said, "and it would kill me to fail in what I undertake to do. It is not money that is an object to me, but I want the people of California to be able to show hat Claus r. ckles has done something for this State when his bones are at rest.

"Owing to serious inconvenience having been entailed on several British subjects, on account of their ignorance of the laws of America regarding the importation 'of aliens," the English Home Secretary has issued a circular to the police authorities calling attention to recent legislation in the United States prohibiting the importation of foreigners "under contract," and ordering that all publicity possible be given to the provisions of the American law. Some of the animals of Japan are quite different from the same species which are seen in America. The cats, for instance, have the shortest kinds of tails or else none at all.

A Correct Version of tlie Origin of T'iiiJ Plirase. Did you know that this familiar phrase "Hobsoii's Choice," preserves the memory of a very good and useful man? Thomas Hobson was born in 1514', he was for sixty years a carrier between London and Cambridge, con-vejMng to and from the university, tX-tcrs and packages; also passengers.

In addition to his express business, hs had a livery stable and let horses to the university students. He made it rule that a'l the horses should have, according to their ability, a proper division of work and rest. They were taken out in regular order, as they beginning with the one nearest the door. No choice was allowed, and if any man refused to take the animal assigned him he might go without any. That or none.

Hence the phrase "Hobson' choice." In the spring of 1630, the plague broke out in England. The colleges of Cambridge were closed, and among the precautions taken by the authorities to avoid infection, Hobson was forbidden to go to London. He died in January, 163L partly, it is said, from at xiety and fretting at his enforced leisure. Hobson was one of the wealthiest citizens of Cambridge, and di-1 much for the benefit of the city, to which he left several legacies. Hi death called forth many poems from members of the university, officers and students, among them two by the poet Milton, when a student at Christ's College.

A sad shooting affray 'occurred last Saturday at Anthony. Walter E. Tread-well shot Charles Clark, his partner in the cattle business. Clark was shot twice and lived one day and two nights. It seems that the trouble grew from jealousy, the name of a woman being connected with it.

I 9 s- i 1 1 i I 1 i 9 A bill has been introduced in congress by Representative Springer, of Hlinois, tor the organization of Oklahoma.

As it embraces but a small portion of the territory, it is not likely to receive the support that its author hoped it would. The Washington Star says the president it desirous of the passage of the bill drawn up by Mr. Lamar to create a commission of three military men and two civilians to treat with the Indians with the object of getting them massed closer together. It is proposed in connection with this general plan to treat with the Indians to move over to the eastern part of the Indian territory, leaving about .21,000,000 acres of the western part of the territory open for settlement. To this it is proposed to add No-Mam's-Land or Mr.

springer's Oklahoma, which comprises but acres, thus making a territory of 24,000,000 acres, about as large as the state of Ohio. To carry out this plan it is desirable that the little strip of acres should not be created into a territory tirt, getting its governor and territorial machinery before the acres comes in. Three years ago last spring one of the conduc'ors of the Washington Georgetown Railway Company started up his car while John H.
