Every merchant in Hennessey
should advertise. It is the one
best way to prove to the public
that you are buying and selling
goods on an equal or better basis
than the surrounding towns
Advertise and the merchants of
other towns will not creep into
your territory. x
Among some of the fool things
done in the last legislature was
to change the time of paying
taxes from December to October,
which is just a little early for
the average farmer to put his
produce on the market and be
able to meet this incumberance
fairly. The farmers will "kick"
and have a just cause for so
doing.
The promoters of the interur

of the scripture was conducted
by Rev. G. E. Mason, of the M.
E. church. Following this was
music by the choir, and prayer
by Rev. Gashwiler, oastor of the
Baptist church. Rev. Smith
selected as a text "For what
shall it profit a man if he gain
the whole world and hose his own
life," and from it preached an in
teresting and forceful sermon.
The music was furnished by a
double quartet, directed by Prof
Tom Anderson.

Rulers of Dahome Represented in
Guise of Beasts.
In Man Prof. J. 0. Frazer discusses
three remarkable statues of kings of
Dahome now deposited in the Troca-
dero museum. The figures are symbol-
bolieai, each king being represented In
the guise of an animal. Thus, Guezo,
who reigned from 1818 to 1858, and
was known as "the cock," is represent-
ed by a man covered with feathers;
Guelele (1858-89), "the lion," as a lion
rampant; Behanzln, his successor, who
was finally deposed by the French,
known as "the shark," appears as a
dogfish graced with the arms and sup-
ported by human legs. The "feathers"
which once covered the statue of
Guezo are nothing but metal plates,
nails, gimlets and scraps of old iron.
Prof. Frazer observes that the exist-
ence of these statues seems to prove
that certain kings of Ilahome habit-
ually posed as certain fierce animals
or as birds. They possibly intended
by this means to serve some magical
purpose. At any rate, they cannot be
totems hereditary in the male line,
since they differed in three successive
generations traced from father to son.
"SWEET HOME" NOT FOR PAYNE.
Writer of Song Frequently Without
Place to Lay His Head.
The song we know so well as
"Home, Sweet Home," was originally
"Sweet Home," and John Howard
Payne was formerly known as J.
Howard Payne. The disillusioning
process keeps on apace. It is well
known that army bands in time of war
are forbidden to play "Sweet Home"
on account of the large number of de-
sertions it causes. An officer with
the fleet, writing to a friend, referred
to the tune in these words; "We al-
low It occasionally at sea, where the
men could not possibly desert without
leaping overboard; but when on shore
—never!" Imagi > what a powerful
influence such a tune must have on
a homesick man, thousands of miles
from wife, mother, sweetheart, babies!
Howard Payne's life was one of re-
markable vicissitudes. Of an evening
he would stroll along the slreets look-
ing Into the brilliantly lighted parlors.
Once in awhile he would see a family
circle so happy and for""ing so beauti-
ful a group that he would stop, gaze
upon the scene, and with a sigh pass
on. "How often," said he to an inti-
mate friend, "have 1 been in the heart
of Paris, Berlin, London, or some
other city, and heard persons singing,
or the hand organ playing, 'Sweet
| Home,' without a shilling to buy the
' next meal or a place to put my head.
| The world has, literally, sung It until
every heart Is familiar with Its mel-
ody; yes, I have been a wanderer from
my boyhood."
According to Showman, Leviathan
Waited Long for Jonah.
The Bishop of Marlborough told a
story in opening the St. Thomas sale
i of work at Exeter, to illustrate tht
, difficulty which confronted church
j workers in days gone by, says the Lon-
don Standard. Sixty years ago he
made a strenuous effort to stimulate
parochial life in the direction of
amusement, but it was, ho said, a
j bad failure. The only thing which he
I could recollect of the details now was
that there was a smoky magic lantern
which had been used at Haldon races
and was "caught hold of" by a young
farmer as a proper thing 'ViIll which
to give an entertainment in the parish,
but it was simply an exhibition of ani-
mals, and the room, b?ing dark and
the showman not first rate, it was a
miserable affair. Suddenly the show-
man said: "You know, children, I
am exhibiting the animals that came
out of the ark." Unfortunately, the
next thing he exhibited was a whale,
and a little hoy exclaimed: "There
weren't no whale in the ark." But
the showman was equal to the occa
sion, and replied: "No, little boy, the
whale wasn't there; it was waiting
for Jonah."
LIKE UMT8 OTHEfl CAUCUSES.
Fashion Set by Hannibal Hamlin Not
Infrequently Followed.
The old saw says that "politics
makes stiwsie bedfellows," and it is
likewise a fact that the professional
politician Is frequently moved by the
"exigencies of the case," to acts that
will not stand close scrutiny. Not
alone is this so In the present day,
but it was so "in the days of the fa
thera." When Hannibal Hamlin first
began his political career.he was once
at a caucus In Hampden, the only at
tendant besides himself being a citi-
zen of very tall stature and ponder-
ous build. Mr. Hamlin had some res-
olutions to pass which began by repre-
senting that they were presented to a
"large and respectable" galhering of
voters, and he proceeded to read and
"vote" them onto the records of the
caucus.
"Hold on!" cried the other man.
"We can't pass that, for it ain't true."
"What isn't true?" demanded the
wily Hamlin.
"It ain'f a large and respectable
caucus," objected the other member
of the assembly. "There's only two
of us."
"That's all right, brother, that's all
right," assured Hamlin. "It goes as
read. Just you keep still. This is a
large and respectable caucus, all right.
You're large and I am respectable."
And the resolution "passed" without
further demur.
