How to Elope.

Young people--or old ones, for that
matter-who contemplate clipping, should
see to it beforehand that all their plans
are as carefully laid ga were those of a
young farmer at La Grange, Ga, who
eloped with school girl from the SEM
mary at that place. 1t was twenty
miles to Franklin, where they were to
be married, and so, to cut off pursuit,
the young man engaged every horse and
buggy in the place, with orders not to let
any one have them without a written
command from him. Taking the girl in
his own wagon, they started at swift
pace. 1t was fully half an hour before
the superintendent was made acquainted
with the facts, and when he did learn
them his first move was to hire horse
and buggy, but wherever he went the
horses and buggies were engaged. He
finally had to start III pursuit on horse
back. but the two were then miles away
going ahead. After they traversed ten
miles they got fresh horse and buggy,
which had been prepared, and went ON
with renewed speed. In the meantime
the superintendent had nearly given out.
They arrived at franklin and were mar
ried; and on returning picked up the
superintendent, whom Mr.. and Mrs.
Abrams carried back home in one Of
their buggies.

A Strange Coincidence.



Speaking Of strange condolences,
said Dooficker, 81 am reminded Of 0
thing that happened to me once. l was
standing on the breakwater here in
Chicago one day in the summer of 1912
when one of my cuffs dropped off into
the lake and big fish came up ant
swallowed it. niourDed a good dea
over it, because the sleeve button il
that cuff was made of gold that dug
myself in California in lS40. Well
time ran along and / forgot all abou
the sleeve button. Soon after that
had the trouble with my hair and hao
to doctor for that"
"What trouble was that, paw" asked
Theophilus.
"Why, didn't ever tell yoa about
that? Well, you see, l found that was
losing my hair. 1t didn't come out by
the roots, but it seemed to be broken of
near my head, and yet, although l LOST
considerable every night, there never
was any loose hairs in the bed in the
morning. l finally got friend 10 sit up
and watch me one night and in the
morning he explained the whole thing.
1 udu Dlttcn ~ Oi Auu sWuluWtt tut
hair"
But to get back to my first story.
One day about seven years after l lost
that cuff was walking on Manhattan
Beach, arm in arm with Mr.. SeiigmaD,
when he picked up something that was
buried in the sand. why, that's silver,
said he. so it is, said /, and sure
enough, il was solid silver. But what il
funnier, it was the identical sleeve.
button had lost thirteen years before
in Lake Michigan. Now, what puzzles
Inc is to know how that fish got way
around to Manhattan Beach from
Chicago"
There was short silence, which The
ophilus interrupted, ''What puzzles me,
paw, is how the fish changed gold
sleeve.button into silver one"
Dooaicker thought he heard one of the
hens eackle and went out to see if she
had Laid an egg.

General Crook as a Boy.



General Bob Schenck left yesterday for
Cobourg, greatly regretting that his en-
gagements prevented him from awaiting
the arrival of General Crook, whom he
sent to West Point when a boy from near
Dayton, o. Talking to areporter about
Crook and his appointment, he said:
Il had looked over the district to find
a bright lad TO nominate to West Point.
| finally remembered that Squire Crook,
a fine old Wing farmer and friend OF
mine, had two boys, aud | sent for him
TO come to town. He came in and in
quired il he had a spare boy he'd like to
send off to West Point.
"After studying awhile he said he did
not know but he had. suggested that
he send him in. The boy sent was ex-
ceedingly uncommunicative. He had
not a stupid look, but was quiet TO reti-
cence. He did not seem TO have the
slightest interest or anxiety about my
proposal. explained to him the re-
quirements aud the labors of the military
SCHOOLS and finally asked him: DO you
think you can conquer all that! HIS

One day last week great commotion
was observed in a millrace on the border
of Montgomery and Chester counties,
and some visitors at the mill went to see
what was the Gauss. As they ap-
preached the race they observed that a
large catfish was struggling with q
watersnake over two feet in length. The
cattle had hold Of the snake about the
middle Of its body, and was there hold
ing ON TO it firmly, while tho snake in
its efforts to release itself had fastened
its fangs in the tail of the fish. SO
determined were the combatants that
tho presence Of the witnesses had
no effect on them in regard
to inducing them to separate;
but, on the other hand, they seemed to
struggle with greater ferocity after the
men arrived than before, the fish occa'
sionally making jump clear above the
surface of the water, carrying the snake

the men at length succeeded in throwing
the combatants out on the land, when
the snake was dispatched by them, but
even after they had pounded its body
into jelly at several places it continued
to hold on to the tail of the fish with its
fangs, and they were compelled to use a
stick to separate it. The fish was then
thrown back into the water and 1t dis

that effect is before the Legislature,
and strong lobby of local dog
owners, and dog-fanciers is laboring
to secure its passage. AS every
body knows who has visited parks
in other cities, the exclusion of dogs
therefrom is insisted upon. The
people Of Madison, more than any
other citizen of the state, it would
seem, ought to feel an interest IN
having the Capitol park kept in an
attractive condition as possible, and
encourage all efforts to that end.
But en- the contrary, it is VIGOROUSLY
a fact that Madison people seem to
have less appreciation Of the park
and Capitol than visitors. Seldom
do strangers have TO be requested to
"follow the walks" but the best
efforts of the Capitol police to pre-
vent Madison people from beating
tracks across the grass to save few
steps in going through the park are
unavailing. If the owners Of dogs
in the city would make good effort
to keep their CANNES out of the
park, it would be quite as creditable
to them as seeking to repeal the Lag
excludino them. w. III. b.

1.-THE Wages of Sin is Dea tn.

The Democratic Assembly, which
owes its existence to the particular
methods adopted by the temperance
party last fall, gave the latter party
a singing slap in the face on Tues
day of last week. = resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Button, republican
of jackson county, granting the use
of the Assembly chamber to Mrs.
Mary T. Lathrop, of Michigan, for
the delivery of temperance lecture.
The vote was taken and the request
refused by large majority! 1t was
a severe lesson and one that ought
to be needed, bat we suppose it will
be forgotten long before another
election occurs.
The day after the refusal of the
Assembly as above described, the
temperance people applied to the
Senate, which is republican, for the
use of that chamber for Mrs, Lath
rop's lecture, which request was
granted Where-upon, the Assem-
bly,, frightened at what it had done
hastily reconsidered its previous ac-
and agreed to allow tire lady to de
liver her lecture in that chamber, anC
as a sop, appointed a committee to

THAT Congress would succeed in
passing any tax reduction bill before
adjournment was not generally ex-
pected. That the one passed falls
short Of giving universal satisfac-
ton ought to surprise no one. The
chief objection to it is the feature
reducing the tax on tobacco, so per
cent. There was no demand by the
people for the reduction in that par
ticular; and its accomplishment can
only be accounted for on the theory
that it was done to make the general
reduction aggregate large, while the
actual reduction in the line sought
by tariff reformers was but nominal.
