JEFFERSON.

During the Presidential campaign,
N. r. Perkins laid a wager with w.
G. Brown, of Whitefeld, on the result
of the election, and of course was
beaten. Brown, however, refused to
accept the stakes although urged upon
him by his good natured antagonist,
saying he preferred to get even with
him in some other way. Conse-
quently last Tuesday night Brown in
vited several hundred of his friends
to ride over to Jefferson and spend
the evening with Perkins, eviedntly
thinking it possible to "eat him out"
"Nate," however, was not to be caught
mapping but was amply prepared to
feed the multitude and have plenty of
fragments left. A general good time
was enjoyed by all, as might be ex-
pected, considering the parties TO the
transaction on both sides.

and as if magical clouds arose and shut
out the work-day world, the skies Of
Greece are overhead, and Archimedes,
searching for his lever with which to
move the world, passes down the room

found the lever, and surely the world has
been moved with it, the boundaries OF
empires broken up, kings discrowned,
republics ruined. Go farther O case

Not far away, again we remember the
Oriental magician, who as often as the

of steel springs and leather ligaments made
to fit upon the very nerves of volition

there lies tiny thing answering your

: from end to end of the land, and it runs
beneath the roar of ocean to carry the
voice of one world to another. In fact,
within these crystal cells the intelligence
of all our millions is concerted and it is
