The next day the stern parent went out
into the country shooting, and returned
on the midnight train three DAYS after.
He opened the door with night-key.
and strange yellow dog grabbed him
by the elbow of his pants and shook him,
he said, ssike the ager.'
The dog barked and chewed until the
son came down in his night-shirt and
called him off, He told his father he had
bought that dog of fireman for $11,
and it was probably the best dog bar
gain this season. He said the fireman
told him he could sell the dog for hun
dred dollars, if he could find man that
wanted that kind of dog.
The parent took off his pants, what
the dog had not removed, and in the hall
he stumbled over birch canoe the boy
had bought of an Indian for SO, and an
army musket with an iron ramrod fell
from the corner. The boy had paid Sc
for that. He had also bought himself al
evercoat with sealskin collar and cuffs,
and complete outfit of calico shirts and
silk stockings.
In this room the parent found the
Ltarble top OF soda fountain. wheel
barrow, and shelf filled with all kinds
of canned meats, preserves, and crackers,
and barrel of apples. A wall tent and
six pairs of blankets we're rolled up ready
for camping out, and buckskin shirt
and a pair of corduroy pants lay on the
bed ready for putting on. Six fsh-poles
and basket full of fish lines were ready
for business, and an oyster can full of
grub worms for bait were squirming On
the washstand. The old gentleman
looked at his pocket-book in the bureau
drawer, as empty as contribution box,
and said:
"Young MANTLE times have been flush.
We will now return to specie basis.
When you want money come to me, and
I will give you nickel, and you will tell
me what you intend to buy with it, or I'll
warm you. You hear mel"
And now that man stands around from
the effects of the encounter with the yell
low dog, and asks every man where let
ter will reach Bob Ingersoll. He says
he will kill 1ngersoll, if it is, the
last noble act he ever accomplishes.

"Why, la! bless you, Miss Huxley, I'm

The safest way to apply this is in
solution. We have heard of several
instances of animals being poisoned
by browsing in field where the poi
son had blown while it was being
'sifted upon the potato tops. If it is
possible to cart sufficient water to
the field, dissolve tablespoonful in
a pail of water, and with small
wisp broom thoroughly sprinkle each
plant. If another person can follow
and quickly brush up the under side
of the leaves and pick such as have
eggs deposited on them the work will
be so complete that it will probably
not need to be repeated.-Herald.

An Innocen MAN saved, ii.

Newspaper readers will remember
the savage, scowling I'll.stab-you-
yet" face Of England's Criminal phe-
nomenon, Charles Peace, who figured
so much in type, and on tongue a few
months ago. Just before his execu-
tion, this notorious outlaw made it
known that he had murdered Cock,
the Manchester policeman, fol-, which
crime William Haborn, a young r.
ishman, was soon to be hung, A
clever dodge on the part of Peace,
the public thought, toprovoke inves-
tigation and thus gain respite, So
Peace was hung. Shortly afterward
the Cock murder was again looked
into in accordance with the sugges-
ton Of Peace. 1t was found that the
bullet which killed the policeman
fitted the executed mans revolver,
and that it did notft young Habron's
weapon. Other points were revived,
and Habron was released from the
Portland prison. He was not inform
ed of the pardon but supposed that
he was soon to be hung. His neck
j. H
had been measured a few days before.
At last it dawned upon him gradu-
ally that he not was to die. The re-.
lief affected his nervous system, but,
under good treatment, he rallied, and
is now a happy man. Thus, after
an imprisonment of three years and
within a step of the gallows, an in

a loss to know what to do to raise a
few cabbages. Some have tried one

worms by hand as they came, for
about two weeks which took some
two hours each day. This seemed to
