Fooling with a Whirlwind

A farmer who lives near Fair
bault, named Johnson, was going
along the road the other day, when
suddenly a little whirlwind, which
described circle apparently not
more than three fee: in diameter,
appeared ia the road in front of
him. 1t took the dust pretty live
ly and buzzed like d swarm Of bees,
but Mr.. Johnson kept on his way
directly toward it, thinking it had
no power. When they came to-
gether the whirlwind seemed to
drop everything else and took hold
of Mr.. johnson, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, he had lost
his hat and his shirt and was
pitched about twenty feet into the
gutter, feeling as though be had
been shocked by battery. Mr..
johnson will never fool with a
whirlwind again. = FdUbGuH

Trapping an Audience.

Some years ago an eccentric
genius, Rev. Thomas P. Hunt,
used to give temperance lectures.
One night be announced that he
would lecture in Easton, Pa
Now, temperance was not in ia
vor among the male portion of
that berg. The women, however,
were all in for the pledge, and
consequently, On Hunts first
night, not a man showed himself
in the hall. The benches were
pretty we'll filed with women,
though, and Hunt commenced;
but instead of temperance, lie put
them through on the vanities of
dress, ETC. They wore great
stuffed feather sleeves then. They
the caught it, then
their tightlacing.and soon through
the whole catalogue of female fol.
lies: not word about temperance.
And the ladies went home hop.
ping mad, told their husbands a.
bout it, and voted old Hunt down
to the lowest pitch.
He had announced that he
would lecture at the same place
the next night. Long before the
time appointed they commenced
to come in, and when Hunt hot-
bled down the aisle, the building
was comfortably well filled with
men. The old fellow looked a.
bout, chuckled and muttered:-
"Hogs, I've got you now!'
After the crowd had got quiet
little the lecturer said:
''Friends, you wanted to know
what I meant by saying, Hogs,
I've got you now and l will tell
you. Oat West, the hogs run
wild; and when folks get out Of
meat they catch young pig, put
a strap s1oupd his body, and hitch
him to young sapliLg that will
just swing him from the ground
nicely. Of course he squeaIs and |
raises a rumpus, whe2 all the old |
hogs gather around to see what's |
the matter, and they shoot them
at their leisure. Last night | |
hung pig up; l hurt it a little,
and it squealed. The old hogs |
have turned ont tonight to see
the fur, and I'll roast you," and
SO he did, pitching into their IA
vorite vice with relish and
gusto.

Knees a Shaking.

1t is stated that the heavy
decrease in the Republican ma
jjority in Maine is regarded by
the leading politicians Of both
parties, at Washington, as of
remarkable significance, as fore
casting, among other things,
the death blow to the Presiden-
tial aspirations Of ex-Speaker
Blaine. a Washington dis
patch to the Baltimore SuR, says:
a leading government official,
in conversation, to-day, said
that he fully expected now that
both Ohio and Pennsylvania
would be carried by rousing ma
iorities for the democrats. He
said that it was evident that the
hard times would be the de-
structicn of the Republican par
ty. All history shows that
when hard times are upon the
people they rebel against their
rulers. In monarchiai countries
they can be put down with the
bayonet, but i'll the United
States, through the silent agen-
cy Of the balIot-box, they de-
throne their rulers. a leading
Democrat said that next year he
expected to see the same popu-
lar rising, only great deal more
so, which drove Martin Van Bu-
rem out in 1910. The idea
gains much strength here that
Gen. Grant will be brought for
ward as the hard-money candi-
date, and he will have the COM
bined support as in 1872, Of
what is called the mOney-pOW-
er Of the country. But it is not |
that he will win what f.
ever platform he may accept.

The Old GFiSt Mill.
BY r. II. sTODDAEp.

The griot mill stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall,
SO old that when the winds are wild
The miller trembles lest it fall
But the mass andiyy, never sere,
Bcdcck it Ger from year to year.
The dam iS steep, and welded green;
The gates are raised, the waters pour
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The loweStround for evermore;
MetlinkS they have a sound Of ire,
Bccauss they can not climb it higher.
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When heavy harvestS load the plains,
Up drive the farmers to the mill
And back anon with loaded wains;
They bring heap Of golden grain,
And take il home in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark,
But Peeping in the open door,
IoU see the miller fitting round.
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by tie shaft and down the spout,
Tie yellow meal comes pouring out
And all day long the winnOwed chaff +
Floats round it on the sultry breeze,
And shineth like setting swarm
or eo,den-wingcd and belted bees;
Or sparks around a blacksmith'S doo~,
When bellows blow and foIges roar.
I love the pleasant, quaint old mill.
1t minds me OF my early prime;
'Tis changed since then, but not so much
As | am by decay and lime;
It's wrecks are mO5sed from year to year,
But mine ali dark and bare appear.
| stand beside the stream of life;
The mighty current sweeps along,
Lifting the hood-gates of my heart,
1t turns the magic wheel Of song,
And grinds the ripening harvest brought
From out the golden field of thought.
