package was passed through the hole in

an umbrella under his arm. He passed

The West Concord correspondent of the

Harvey Judevine is very tender man in his
family, but his abs ent mindcducss is some
times quite annoying 10 his wife For in
stance, when he was getting ready to return
from his visit to the Mechanics Fair in Bos-
ton, he urged his wife to make due haste in
putting on her things, as the train was to
leave at s O'Clock. While urging his wife
Harvey was scraping hi. buds together,
crowdlug them into his own va,isc and think
ing of home, Getting his valise packed he
passed ont of the room, locked the door, wen,
down stairs and delivered the key to the land
lord AS the crowd loaded into the omnibus
for the depot, some one happened to discover
Mrs. Judevne's absence and inquired for her
lIarvey's attention was arrested and, after q
moments reflection, he seemed to comprehend
the situation. While poking path through
the crowded bus he remarked "I-guess
I've ocked-her III p in the - bed
room" The driver consented to wait until
Harvey could 90 back and see il he had left
anything, In n few minutes he returned
with the lost woman and the information that
he was thinking about -something else

to the two handed gentry. 1t is the use Of

is most dc s.ructivc in its results. Spreading
the nets in rivers during the spawning and

the clause prohibiting the use Of sciucs in any

The Illinois Legislature will be Republican
on Joint ballot Ivy at least 10 majority, and
consequently Senator David Davis will be
succeeded by Republican. The chief can
didatcs are Governor Cullom and Gen. Raun,,
the present Commissioner of Internal rcve-
nue.. The Illinois Press seem TO think that,
while Cullom is the better politician, Raum
has tho NEST personal popularity, and that
the contest between them is pretty evenly
matched. There is also large stable OF
dark horses, of whom ex-senator Oglcsby and
Secretary Lincoln are foremost.
