Levi Bartlett of Warner, N. H., has
presented the New Hampshire historic

is connected quite an interesting history.
In 1907 it was carried by Joseph Bartlett,
who was then 21 years old, and was one

CHEATING A BOA.

A new way OF cheating boa out Of
his prey is told by Mrs. Scott, a mission.
ary in Assam 1t is very ingenious,
though tn woman might have died from
fright before she was delivered. The
following story was told me by native
who said they were eye-witn' sses Of the
transactions:
1.-TWO men and a woman were travel
ing through The jungle, when they sud-
ienly came upon boa, who threw him.
self around the woman. She, as all
women would do under such circum-
stances, set up a screaming, but the men
told her to keep still, and one of them
who carried coop Of young pigeons at
once offerel one to the serpent, who
greedily devoured it. Another and anoth.
er were given until the boa became
gDrged, and on the third day released his
hold Of the woman and fell on the
ground, and was quickly killed by the
crowd Of natives assembled around the
place"

AN uNREGENERATE SPIRIT.

There was gathering Of Spiritualists
at private residence in Vallejo, Gal
recently, at which the spirits from the
other world were summoned in large
numbers. After some conversation with
long array OF dead aunts, un,les, grand
fathers and Others, local optionist called
up the spirit OF certain captain who
was drowned In Vallejo waters by falling
off small ralt while in an intOXicate
condition, about o year ago. The l. y,
tried TO make point by asking him IL
he had not become satisfied OF the evils
OF iniemperance by the manner OF his
death

HADN'T GOT USED TO IT.

A curious incident recently occurred
on Western railroad train. As the cars
were moving away from the Terre Hsute
depot, pretty young woman came from
the ladies car, and rushing into the
smoking-car, frantically appealed to every
body to stop the train. Catching sight
of the conductor, she exclaimed, pite-
ously, "Mr Conductor, do please stop
the train I've left my babyl "The
train was stopped, and baby recovered,
amidst the hearty cheers of the people on
the platform and the passengers; and
while the young mother laughed and
cried and Rugged her little one, she tried
TO explain how the baby was such new
one that she hadn't got used to it yet.

thought, the Government from eOnflScatlng

faith that he became an advocate OF the

truth of the alleged facts in his statement,
and find that he has not confined himself
to the truth by any means. The temptation
to make votes in the North is little too
great for some Of these fellows, and they
make that which is already bad enough a
good deal worse by additional colOrings. 1t
is unfortunate for the cause OF truth thai
men make political capital in the North by
overdrawing Southern pictures, but how IS
Truth to help herself.
