A Lost Lake Found.

A body of water, said to cover an
area Of two acres or more, has just been
discovered on the top of one of the
mountains in glastonbury. Some of
the oldest inhabitants say that many
years ago it was known to be there and
was called the "Lost Pond," and that
one day Stephen Pratt, then of Benning-
ton, VT, and two other gentlemen, were
roaming about in the then seemingly
interminable forests, trapping. Hap
pening to have hooks and lines in their
pockets they determined to see if there
wasn't some trout in the small brook
which they came across. After getting
everything in readiness they threw
their hooks into the little brook, and to
their amazement, as they afterward ex-
pressed it themselves, it was filled with
trout! They fished along up the stream
a few rods, and, to their utter astonish-
ment, came to the pond above mention
ed. There they said the trout took hold
too fast for sport! They caught more
than they could bring home through
the woods, and were consequently OBJ
liged to leave some, but with a deter
mination that they would visit the pond
the next day. After long march they
finally reached the road to town, where
they had left their team, but greatly
fatigued. They travelled all the next
day, but could not find the pond, and It
has not been discovered until now.

A Apology.

The editor of a Western paper once
gave notice of a ball, and happened in
cidentally TO mention that the dancing
Of Major Heeler's better half was like
"the cavorting of fly bitten COW in a
field of cucumbers." The fact that the
editor had not been invited to the ball
may somewhat detract frem the value
of the simile, while aJ the same time it
accounts for his establishing the figure.
The Major, accompanied by his better
half and a siX-shooter, called ON the
editor to complain of the poetical ma
ture of the image. On learning that
the lady was the one he had described,
the editor besought her to raise her veil.
She did SO, saying:
"Now, sir, 1 Iexpect you to apologize"
"Apologize, 1 should rather think 1
would" was the answer, as he seized
his hat and left the room.
The astonished Major rushed to the
window: "Stop, you sir! you have not
apologizedr'
"All right; Pm going to do it in a
minuten'
"What do you mean?" shouted the
Major. accenting the note of interroga-
tion with pistol bullet.
The answer was waited back from
round the next corner.
"Can't you see I'm looking for that
COW? ?''

Joe Bunk Growing Brave.

Joe Bunk got tipsy on lager beer, and
went home announcing his determina-
tion to volunteer in the Cuban war;
His wife used various arguments to dis
suade him; but he had an answer for
all of them. Finally she brought the
matter home to him.
''Would you leave me and the chill
dren ?" said she.
"Why, yes, Polly, when my country
calls it is my duty to leave wife, chill
dren, everything behind and obey the
CALL"
"But look at the hardships you must
bear.'
81 can stand them as well as others
do"
"But you might get sick.''
"Others get sick tool can stand as
much as they cam
"But you might be put in the front
ranks"
swell guess 1 can stand it as well
as others do"
"But,' screamed the wife, who could
see no use in Jse's stoicism, ''the Gu
bans might kill you.''
Joe studied a moment-the question
was evidently poser. The wife
thought she had struck the right chord
at last, and again pressed the remark
with especial emphasis
eyes Joseph the Cubans might rush
upon yen in the midst of battle and
kill you"
"All right" said Joe, bright ides
striking him, "all right, my honey, but
| guess can kill as many of them as
they can of mel"

Whenever you see small boy COM
ing out of q house with one hand on
his eyes and the other over the base
ment of his pants, you can come to the
conclusion that he and the old man had
slight misunderstanding.
How to become practically acquain-
ted with the "Rule of Three'-live with
your wife, mother and mother-in-law =.
The reason that men are taken to the
station-house when they are found in
the street full of liquor, is to give their
friends chaifee to bail them out.
The fellow was pulled baldheaded by
his wife who said, "Dry goods are woT-

A judge recently interrupted very
flowcry young orator with: "Hold on,
hold on, my dear sir! You are already

Feeding race horses on ssft rubber so
that they may stretch out their necks at

freak of the wooden nutmeg men.
"Why are women like churchesY"
Firstly, because there is no living with
out one; secondly, because there is many
spire to them; thirdly, because they are
objects of alteration; and lastly because
they have a loud clapper in their upper
story.

A Boy in a Bad Fix.

1t has never been settled to the satis-
faction Of the public who the man in
the Iron Mask, was, but generations to
come will know all about Dick Palmer,
Of Detroit, who got inside of some-
thing worse than mask recently. His
mother sent him after a brass kettle
which one of her neighbors had bor-
rowed, and on his way home the boy
turned the kettle upside down and put
it on his head. Another boy gave it a
blow and it shut down over Dicks face
as closely as clam in his shell, one of
the Gears" digging into the boys head
behind, and the other pressing on his
nose. The victim shouted and jumped
and clawed at the kettlen, but he could
not bulge it. A man came along and
lifted at it, but Dicks nose began to
come out by the roots and the man had
to stop. A crowd ran out from the cor
ner grocery, Dicks mother was sent
for, and the boy danced up and down
cried. "Oh, golly!" without ceasing.
One boy said they would have to take
cold chisel and drill Dick out of the ket-
tie, and another said they'd have to
melt the kettle of, while everybody
raped on it to see how solidly it was
on. Then they tried to lift it off, but
Dick roared "murderr' until they
stopped. Some said grease his head,
and some said grease the kettle, while
the boys mother sat down on the curb
stone and sobbed out: "Ohl Richard,
why did you do this?"
The crowd tsok it coolly; it wasn't
their funeral, and boy with brass
kettle on his head isn't seen every day.
Tears fell from the kettle, and hollow
voice kept repeating: "I'll never do it
again." Finally they laid Richard on
the walk, and while one man sat on his
legs and another on his stomach, a
third compressed the kettle between his
hands and the boy crawled out, his nose
all scratched and twisted out of shape,
hole in his head, and bump on his
forehead. His mother wildly embraced
him, all the boys cried ship lap and
little Richard was led home to loaf
around on the lounge and have toast
and fried eggs for a week.

A Joke on the Lightning-Rod
man.

Max Adler tells this story in the Phil
adelphia Saturday Post.
Up in Blossburg, the other day, a
lightning-rod man drove up in front of
a handsome edifice standing in the
midst of trees and shrubs and spoke to
Mr.. Summers who was sitting on the
steps in front. He accosted Summers as
the owner of the residence, and said:
:" sec you have no lightning rods on
this house,
"No," said Summers.
care you going to put any on?"
"Well hadn't thought oft" replied
Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building like
that is very much exposed. I'd like to
run you up one of my rods; twisted
steel glass Tenders, nickle plated tips
everything complete. May 1 pnt one
up to show you? I'll do the job
cheap"
"Certainly if you want to. 1 haven't
the slighteat objection said Summers
During the next halt hour the man
had his ladders up and his assistant at
work, and at the end of that time the job
was completed. He called Summers
into the yard to admire it. He said to
Summers:
'sNow that is all well enough, but if
it was my house, I'd have another rod
put on the other side. There's nothing
like being thoroughly protected.
@That's true," said Summers, 'It
would be better.''
"I'll put up another, shall ?" asked
the man.
"Why, of course, ifyou think it best,''
said Summers,
Accordingly the man went to work
again and soon had the rod in It's place.
"That's first rate job," he said to
Summers, as they both stood eyeing it.
II like such man as you are. Big
hearted, liberal not afraid to put dol
lar down for good thing. There's
some pleasure in dealing with you, I
like you so much that I'D put couple
more rods on that house, one ON the
north end and one on the south, for
almost nothing"
''It would make things safer, 1 sup
pose," said Summers.
Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't I-hey!"
"Just as you think proper said Sum-
mers.
So the man ran up two rods, and
then came down and said to Summers,
There that's done. Now let's
settle up"
"Do what?"
"Why, the jobs finished, and nowI'n
lake my money"
"You don't expect me to pay you, L
nope2"
"Of course do. Didn't you tell me
% put those rods on your house?''
"My houser' shouted Summers.
Thunder and lightning! never or
Tered you to put those rods up 1t
would have been ridiculous. Why man
his is the court house, and Pm here
waiting for the court to assemble. Pm
IN the Jury. You seemed to be anx-
Gus to rush out your rods, and it was
lone of my business, 1 let you 60 on.
'ay for it! Come, now, that's pretty
.ood."
The Blossburg people say that the
manner in which the lightning-rod man
ore around town and swore was fear
nj but when he got his rods off the
ourt house he left permanently. He
lon't fancy the place.
