He Didn't Know the Score.

1t was on the ball ground. He was a
young man, and had a memorandum
book in his had. He was working away
with a pencil. and presently q man
leaned over and said:
"What's the score 2"
az don't know" was the reply.
Then there was a few minutes of al.
lence, during which time the young man
figured away. until another man ap-
preached and asked:
What inning is this?"
"Don't know" was the sullen reply.
40, you don't!" said the querist, sar-
castically; "well, you needn't put on
airs over it, as if / were asking you the
secrets Of Free Masonry"
He had no more than recovered from
the shock than another man walked
over to him and inquired:
WAS that last a two or three base
hit9"
This made the young man mad, and
he replied not.
The inquirer passed, and he enjoyed
hve mi0utes' peace, when a ragged
little gamin stepped upto him and yelled:
"Say, mister, how many runs ahead
are the JerseysT'
Then a man asked him which paper
he represented, and while he was SIM
mering with rage another fellow walked
up to him to make some inquiry, but
before he could open his mouth to do
so the Ia with the memorandum
book cut him short by jumping up and
screaming:
81 don't know the score; I don't
knew what inning it is; I don't know a
curve pitcher from ahistory of Paraguay /;
| am not connected with any news
paper; now don't ask me any more
questions. It's a pity if a man can't sit
down to compose a few verses for a
lady's autograph album without being
bored to death about a game of ballI"
Then he resumed his seat, red in the
face and was allowed to continue his
verses in peace.

An Akron, Ohio, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes: What is con-
considered by many a very mysterious case
hiss just come to light in the family of
Michael Metzler, a German, living in the
southern part of the city. Since Tuesday
last Metzler and family have been made the
object of the continual persecution of what
they assert to be evil spirits, So called,
manifestations taking the shape of stones
and pieces of brick of various
sizes, which are dropped from
the ceiling, and hurled at them
from different directions. Not only
the family, but several neighbors and one or
two newspaper men have been struck by
these missiles, which have been preserved
Metzler also claims he is notable to work in
an adjacent corn field on account of the in
reference of alleged spirits. So great was
the alarm at Metzlers last night that he
called in a Catholic priest to exercise the
spirits. Whether it is malice of neighbors
or trick of the Metzler family has not yet
been developed.

BrItIah Course In Afghan

BrItiah Governments Course In Afghan
fstan.
The Standard, commenting on the Cab
met meeting held Saturday, says: 1t seems
likely a course will be adopted represent
ing a compromise between the extreme
Councils, and will consist of occupying and
holding mountain passes, and possibly ad.
vancing to Candahar before Christmas, in
order that the army may be in readiness
for further operations, but with the hope
that the Amer may in the meantime be
compelled to submit. The Standard urges
that even then England should not rest
content with a mere apology abject, but
should insist on solid guarantees. The
Times, in summarizing its Indian advices,
comes to a c inclusion relative to the prob
able course of operations similar to that in
the Standards article. 1t says: 1t is not
considered e~xpedient to hazard an advance
on Candahar at present unless an oppor-
tuni'y for a coup de main offers, which is
most improbable.

and all of their animals taken. Two of the
party who were only wounded, returned to

which their wounds were dressed, they
were started North in a light wagon, but
not far distant the two surviving men
were shot, and their bodies thrown into
a spring from which they were after
