A REMARKABLE FEAT.

VIZ l.. ROSERKRANS, of Albany,
w. while on a trip not long ago, per-
formed the remarkable feat of being in
three counties at one time. He sat on
stone in Fulton County and rested his
right foot in Saratoga County and the
left foot in Montgomery County.
Remarkable as the above may seem,
a feat still more remarkable can be per-
formed by any person who will take the
trouble to ascend the mountain which
separates the towns of Pownal, VT, and
Petersburgh in this county. On the top
of this mountain there is stone which
marks the spot where the States of Yer
mont, Massachusetts and New York
come together. A person can stand on
the top of the stone with one foot, being
not only in three counties at the same
time, but in three states as well. During
the time when the prohibition law was
not dead letter in Vermont and Mas
sachusetts, the people of those States
who resided along the York State line
were in the habit of crossing over on
this side to purchase their alcoholic bev-
erages. An enterprising resident of
Petersburg, to meet the wants of his
neighbors across the mountains, leased
small strip of ground from the owner
of the land which cornered at the stone
spoken of, and erected a three cornered
shanty thereon, the stone being in the
centre of the building. He then put up
a bar in the shape of triangle, one side
of which was in Vermont, another in
Massachusetts, and the third in the
State of New York. To save expense,
he took out no license in this State, but
laid in good supply of liquors, which
he sold by the drink or jugful, according
to demand. The fact that he was vio-
lating the laws of the Commonwealth of
the old Bay State was reported to the
authorities in due time, and constable,
armed with warrant and pair OF
hand. cuffs, was sent out from Williams
town to arrest him. When the officer
arrived at the shanty, he found a num-
ber of the residents of Massachusetts,
standing at the bar on their side of the
line, treating each other in true Yankee

write; but guess at The authors, and
now what am to do Tell that poor,
little, fluttering thing she had been
April fooled y No, / can't violate
lady's feelings so Who knows but this
Is the hand of Fate, leading me to
wiser choice Why not take it I'm
lonely, too, and should like the happy
home this dear little girl speaks Of I'm
sure she Is worth loving and / wonder
/ did not love her before; and 1t seems
she loves me"
Fred felt his heart warm and grow
beneath this idea, for some how II seemed
very happy one; and the more he
thought of it the better he liked 1t. He
pondered the whole thing deeply until
noon, and then Mr.. Fred wrote few
words on a slip of paper and lie wrote
just this
"MY DARLING ANNA You have
made me very happy, and tonight am
coming to your home to say So"
And then, folding the paper, he called
one of the cash boys, and, as Hetty Nor
ris came up to his desk, he said, quite
loud enough for her to hear:
''Take this up stairs to Miss Grigg,
and say Mr.. Hunter sent It,"
Hetty very soon made an errand up
stairs for herself to enjoy Annals dis
comflture, but she came down mystified,
for Annals face was beaming with happy
light instead of clouded with mortifica-
ton and disappointment, and the plot
ters began to fear their joke had failed.
Fred went to see Anna Grigg that
night and he saw the letter she had re-
ceived, telling her he wanted to see what
nonsense he did write, for he had been
SO anxious he really couldn't tell what
lie said.
With Annals brown head nestled on
his broad shoulder he read it, and recog-
nized it as an imitation of his own hand.
1t only verified his suspicious, for he
knew already that copying handwriting
was little art Miss Hetty Morris was
pretty clever at, and he did not doubt
this was her work.
He never undeceived Anna, for to him
it was proving happy joke; and when
he kissed her good night, as he had a
right to do, he felt like blessing the first
of April forever.
The next morning, as Mr.. Hunter
walked down the store to his desk, Miss
Morris and Miss Clark were in deep con-
sultation together. Mr.. Hunter paused
and dropped card between them, on
which they read, in his own genuine
hand:
''rO MISSES NORRIS AND CLARK =
Ladies-Allow me to thank you for the
kindness with which, yesterday, you as
sisted me to win my bethrotbed wife
Miss Grigg. The wedding will take
place very soon, and we will not forget
to send you cards of invitation.
"Gratefully, f. H."
Hetty and Lucy, even though they re-
ceived the cards, will hardly attend the
wedding SO soon to be celebrated. Nor
though this joke hurt nobody, will they
be likely to attempt another when April
comes around again, for their first was
only too good a success.

style. The constable stepped up to the
bar, and pulling out his legal document
hurrledly read the contents to the dis
pencer of corn Juice, and added
IL arrest you In the name Of the Com
monwealth OF Massachusetts and by vlr-
tue Of this warrant
The bartender, pointing TO the corner
stone which stood inside the counter,
laughed In the face OF the New England
peace preserver, and replied
"That's all very Inc, old man but II
strikes me that your warrant doesn't
reach man in the State of Vermont,
and | call your attention to that official
certificate that am out Of your juris-
diction."
A few days after the bartender receiv-
ed an official visit from Vermont con
stable, armed with warrant for his ar.
rest for selling liquor in that State. But
the same tactics were employed as on
the occasion of the first constable's visit.
The two constables not long after the
first visit happened to meet, and plan
was agreed upon for the capture of the
defiant rum.seller. The Vermont officer
appeared at the mountain top in disguise
and remained about the shanty during
the forenoon, drinking now and then
with those who came In TO replenish
their jugs. About noon the Massachu-
sets constable arrived, and proceeded to
again read his warrant and reach over
the bar for his man. The Inter stepped
into the Vermont corner of his domicile,
and just as he did so, he was seized by
the constable from that State, but while
the latter was pulling out his warrant
and handouts, the New Yorker broke
away from him and got over into the
State of New York, where he was beyond
the jurisdiction of both. After time,
however, it came to the knowledge of
the authorities on this side of the line
that man was selling liquor without
license, and warrant was obtained for
his arrest for violating the laws of the
great Empire State. When the Peters
burg constable appeared upon the scene,
AS 'VNhN pit"O piC Liuh hou ithlOfcu
stock TO the Vermont side of his house,
and was retailing drinks to the State of
Massachusetts,. or course the officer
was powerless to go across the line TO
arrest him, and he again escaped. The
affair was the talk of the country for
miles around, but finally the officers Of
the three States moved upon the shanty
at one and the same time, and the def.
ant rum. seller was now in hot water.
He carried out the 'joke" to the end,
however; for, getting ON top of the
stone, which stands partly in three
States, he shouted: "Come on and di-
vide me into three parts, but I'll make
it hot for him that takes the two-thirds
of me that don't belong to him." He
had, however, taken too large quantity
of his own medicine to enable him to
preserve his equilibrium on top of the
stone, and while still defying the con-
stables he fell off and rolled into the
State of Massachusetts, where he was
secured by the officer from that State
and taken to Williamstown in triumph.
The other two constables concluded that
the liquor was partly in the State Of
Vermont and partly in the State Of New
York, and they made an equal division,
each conflicting one half of the stock in
trade in the name of his State.-IToy ~.

The wear and tear of life comes
chiefly from straining after the impossi-
bic. Nervous excitement, alternate hopes
and disappointments, unavailing strug-
giles, feverish anxieties, bitter failures
these are the worst enemies of health
and happiness, the most fatal destroyers
of peace and prosperity. They come for
the most part from taking up needless
burdens.

EB-The unfaithful man is more untrue
to himself than to any one else. Every
promise which he breaks, every trust
which he dishonors, every responsibility
which he throws off, every rightful labor
which he shirks, weakens the force of
the inner law, destroys his firmness,
impairs his energy, hardens his con-
science and renders him not free man,
but slave. In being unfaithful to 9TH
ers, he is still more unfaithful to his own
nature in trying to secure some paltry
qualification, he has lost the richest
treasure of his being.

TEE No man attacks the reputation of
youth as woman attack that of girl.
The man who should come into his club
and whisper about damning stories of
his friends young son, who should
accuse him of dishonorable doings such
as would ruin the lads character as
thoroughly as the charge Of immodesty,
flirting with married men and the like
would ruin that of girl, would soon
have the room to himself. But women,
over the tea table gather up the crumbs
of scandal with relish and appreciation.
and even the mothers of the girls are not
ashamed to believe and repeat stories
against their dear friends daughter
which may have no foundation in fact,
and which, even if true, they have no
means OF proving and testing.
