POOR GRAMMAR BETRAYED HIM
Evening Auburnian.]

Prof. Thomas, recently connected
with Butler University, was noted
chiefly for his exactness in the use of
vernacular. One night he was awake
ned ut an unseemly hour by discordant
sounds of midnight revelry from the
direction of a students bedroom.
Dressing himself hastily he hurried
down the hall, and, aftera few knocks
on the bolted door to enforce silence,
he called out, "Hi, you fellows in
there! Can't you make less noise I"
"Who's out there - was the re-
Spouse.
otis me-"
"Who are you'"
"Prof. Thomas"
"You're liar. You can't fool us.
Thomas would have said, 1T is L.
Come on, boys, just once more"
And the strain of "Landlord, fill the
flowing bowl y resounded through
the house till daylight. The affair
was never alluded to by the Professor.

A Relic of Ancient Times.

Mr.. John Upham, of Camden, sometime
ago had occasion to dig ditch on his farm
sinking it between one and two feet deep
Leaving his work for dinner, on his return he
found that water had broken through the earth
and was filling his trench, which flowed so fast
that it was with difficulty that he continued
his work. After proceeding some distance he
encountered rock maple tree over foot in
diameter, lying between one and two feet
below the surface. Following this up ne found
it separating in two branches, one of which he.
cutoff with an axe, and removing the branch
thus severed, discovered under it well all
stoned up. about three feet deep and about the
same diameter Contained within this en-
closure was boiling spring of excellent cool
water, which has supplied the family since,
never becoming dry in summer, nor freezing
in winter. The wonder is when and by whom
was this well dug? and how long has the earth
which was above it been forming. 1t would
seem to be too limited an estimate to calculate
by few hundreds of years, and not too great
q stretch of credulity to look back some thous-
ands of years for its origin Lincoln County

An Al1ROpd Beat

f. W. Cummings of East Berkshire, YER
mont. has written letter to the Burlington
Messenger, in regard to an advertisement OF
practical information with reference to pee
keeping, by Mrs. Lizzie E. Cotton OF west
Gorham, Maine, which lately appeared in that
pap The correspondent copies the, follow
ing from "Gleanings in Bee Culture"
monthly published in Medina, Ohio:
Mrs. Cotton has the disagreeable habit OF
making no return for money sent her, though
She often makes fair promise. As she appar-
entity has the equally disagreeable habit OF not no
paying her advertising bills, we fear that the
imputation of our contemporary is not with,
out foundation. Newspaper publishers should
make note Of this and shun her. we nave
no doubt but that she is trusted simply because
she represents herself woman and writes SO
handsomely and feminine-like when sending
her advertisement to publishers; but in ans
wer to bills for advertising, her handwriting
looks remarkably masculine.
He also refers to numerous complaints OF
other victims, and says that Mrs. Lizzie Cot
ton is in reality Mr.. c. B. Cotton.
