who has the reputation of bringing some of
the choicest and tenderes. carcasses of beef
into the Augusta market. 81 never had a
harder time to supply my customers. There
are plenty of grass-fed cattle; but Stalled
animals are hard to find, and cost me seven
and eight cents a pound on the foot" Frank

is quite rivalry between Androscoggin and
kennebec butchers to get droves of cattle
from that section. A herd of about 40 splen-

An ExcItlng MeiodraIna.

The fifth act was lively. The stage
showed The interior tof q, barn. There
were two apartments on the lower
floor and o hay-loft above. The hero
came into one room, drank out of a
bottle and had delirium tremens. The
actor suffered dreadfully. He saw hid
eous beasts. he wrestled with himself in
the straw, he described cemetery of
open graves, he told about his sup
posed dead daughter, and altogether he
made it as unpleasant as possible for
himself and the audience.
"Merciful heavensr' he cried, when
the paroxysm was over, and he fell
asleep.
Then the wife dashed into the other
room with the daughter. She ex-
pressed emotion as the freezing. hun
cry, despairing mother by dashing to
and fro, finging her arms wildly about
and rafting in the circumseribed space
like pea in pod at length she took
the little girl up ladder to the loft to
get warm in the hay, and was down
again in jiffy. As an acrobatic per-
formance it had merit.
'Merciful heavens!" she cried, and
darted ont IN the storm to search for
her husband.
Then came a prayer by the little girl.
There was the child praying above, un-
conscious of the besotted parent wal
lowing in the straw below. The hero
awoke in mental and physical torture.
He wished to die.
"Merciful heavens" he cried.
His eyes fell on a halter. He would
hang himself He tied the rope round
beam overhead, climbed on q manger
and adjusted a moose. The horrilied
child implored him to stop, but he
did not heed it. He leaped from the
manger, the moose seemed to tighten
round his neck, he made wry faces inr
dcative of strangulation, and stiHed
exclamations by women in the audito-
rum denoted thatthey were thrilled.
The child made an outcry and racket,
and at length found an AK, which had
been left in the loft to chop hay She
ought to have used il TO cut the rope
and thus rescue her father She
hacked away vigorously, but without
severing strand. The hanging hero
made fresh grimaces, drew up his legs.
Strengthened them out, quivered, and
did all he could think of to fill out the
time. But still the AK didn't cut. j
heard excited words from the author
rs he suffered in the prompter's corner.
Eventually the actor reached up and
deliberately united himself; and a roar
of laughter by the audience drowned
the voices of the characters as :hey
crowded into the stable to close the
play. Cincinnati Enquirer.

contrivance has been adopted to eN-

hat disk slowly revolves by the action
of the clock-work until a slot in the
disk comes opposite lever or handle in

There is very little consolation to
be found in the conventional condol-
ence OF society. When poor Irish
man lay on his death-bed one of his
friends came in to express his sympathy.
He took the poor mans hand and said,
with evident emotions "Pat, my boy,
we must all of US die once" Tie sick
man turned over in disgusted frame
of mind and replied: THAT is just
what bothers me. If we could only die
half-a-dozen times J. wouldn't worry
