weapon of intellectual warfare to annihi-

Many of Pete's constituents think he was
indiscreet in choosing weapons, while
those who claim to know something
about his anatomy assert that he has
acted wisely under the circumstances for
the good of his health. Inasmuch as the
paper which contains Pete's debut in
literature does not circulate very largely
in this part of the county, we have not
seen his great literary production. We

Twas mine, It's his and has been slave to thou

But he that fiches from me my good name,
Robs me of that which 1 never had.
And makes me poor indeed"

THE Great American Desert, the Sahara
of the western world, has been fading
from the maps. "Ah, distinctly we re-

Great Desert was. No explorations

harassed pupil to discover. On that dot

little later it became 'fStaked Plain" a
sort of compromise between the arabic

thro' this territory which it was thought
was sacred to sand and it is found to be
quite fertile.

JUDGE KIRwAN is considerable of a
meteorological and keeps wary eye on
the weather. He consults Thermometers
frequently and has regular stations from
his house to his Office where he ascertains
temperature. Tuesday morning he left
home after consulting all his thermome-
tiers of "high and low degree" and men
tally registering that they average three
degrees above zero. At the National
Bark he found that the temperature had
dropped to g below zero, and before ar
irving at Liebenow's it had reached the
phenomenal fall of seven additional de-
grees. Such an amazing decrease was
unprecedented. The judge made rapid
mental calculation of what the tempera-
ture would be before his destination was
reached if the decline continued at this
regular state of progression. He found
it would be sufficient to freeze alcohol
and of course flesh and blood could not
stand it. No such fire was ever before
made in that Office. No other man ever
