onds the train had come to Il stop, to
the wonderment OF the passengers and
the curiosity of the engineer.
1t happened in this wise: Just before
the train started Il man standing on the
step of one of the cars had called to him
4 little girl with Il basket Of apples ON
her arm, and purchased Il dimes worth
of the fruit. He placed the apples i'll
his pocket, and just then the train NOV
ed slowly OFF. Taking Il tcn-cent note
from his vest pocket, he held it in his
hand as the train moved on, the little
girl following imploringly along, and
finally he returned the money to his
pocket, and went inside the car. The
little appIe-girl burst into tears. Just
then Major Carpenter crossed through
the depot on his way to dinner. He
asked the reason of her tears, and she
told him. "Ill give 80 to have that
train stopped,n shouted the Major, who.
though Il small maj physically, has 4
heart as big rs all out Of doors. The
train was stopped and backed into the
depot, and with the Majors protection,
the little Girl identified the fellow, who
was made to give her the dime, and
then to listen to an opinion about HIM
self expressed in very vigorous English
by the thoroughly aroused Major. Of
ticerS Madden and Cain were called,
and the fellow was taken off the train,
marched to the calaboose, and kept
there until evening. Then he was made
to promise that he wouldn't eat another
apple for twelve months, and released,
taking the evening train for his home
near Strawberry Plains. - hnorriUe

Sutherland, one of the Trustees. and l..

the money, and in their search for stock
attended 4 sale in Clark County. Here
they saw Il very fine Young COW of the
'DucheSS" family, and they, after some
consultation between themselves, decid-
cd to purchase her. They didn't say any
thing about their decision, intending to
let the others bid on the animal and
then, at the last moment, come in and
carry of the prize. They smiled know
ingly Us she was led out, and chuckled
us they thought how well she would
look on the University farm. The auc-
tloncer, after eXpatiating on the beau
ties and merits of the animal, called
out, "Nlake your bids, gentlemen" and
the %lndianians laughed and thought of
the $4,000 which was to purchase her.
But they stopped laughing when some
one started the bids at $1,000, which
was rapidly increased to $4,000, and
they came home minus the beautiful
COW of the duchess" Neutrality-suspicious.

Is there no = ingenious enough to
make his fortune by invcnting an abso-
lu;ely indeIible ink for the use
of the Post-otlice Department? 1t is
estimated, says an exchange, that the
Government loses over a million dollars
Il year by the second using of postage
stamps that have once been defaccd by
the P~ost-otlice officials and then been
restored to their original appearance.
Over four thousand specimens of ink
have been offered and tested to see if
the marks made with them on stamps
could be erased. None have stood the
tests used. Some co%Etriyancc for per-
fectly protecting the Post-ollice Depart
ment against losses from this cause is
very necessary.
