An obstreperous Driver.

George f. Day is the driver OF the United
States mail wagon that conveys the mail to
and from the depots. Friday, while the pro-
cession was forming on the Alamo plaza, the
marshals, in endeavoring to keep the line Of
march clear, were much annoyed by this in
dividual and his wagon, he declaring, with
much emphasis and swagger, that he drove a
government wagon and wouldn't get out OF
the way for anybody. He tried to drive over
Policeman opperman, and when Officer Coy
approached tried the same proceeding on him.
Officer Martinez, noticing the excitement,
came up with the crowd, when Day hit his
horse with his whip, nearly causing the officer
to be thrown. He was promptly hauled up,
and this morning was fined SIS for his cussed-
ness.

1t seems to be an unknown fact to

platters and vegetable dishes are sure to
crack sooner or later if they are set on
the hot stove. If they are left there a
moment only, there is danger of their
good looks being spoiled. 1t is a good
plan to have something on or near
the stove where such dishes may be
placed; of course, if one has shelf
above her range or stove, there is no
excuse for the annoyance mentioned
above, but if there is no shelf, brick
may be kept in the heater and used

A Bears Winter Nap.

Mr.. James Hooper, of Edwardsburg,
is the happy possessor of a year-old
bear, for which he has snug quarters
prepared in the shed. On the 9th of
last December, his bearship. no doubt
feeling drowsy, retired to his quarters,
and much to the surprise of his owner,
refused to be coaxed out again, even
savory dishes placed at the door of his
box had not the slightest effect upon
him. Weeks passed into months, and
still brun remained in a state of leth-
argy, until people began to look for
ward to the 18th of March, when all
well-regulated bears are supposed to
come forth and look for their shadows
But alas! for the old story, he came not
forth, and it was not until the 2Sth of
the month that he condescended to poke
his brown nose out and partake of a
little milk, and not until the 9th of
April that he may be said to have par
taken of square meal. His long fast
does not seem to have disagreed with
him, as he looks just as well as ever

Battling With an Octopus.

Hon. Edward Eddy is, according to
all reports, having grand time upon
his Eastern trip Last Sunday he
joined the immense crowd that was en-
route to Coney Island, and ere long it
became noised around that there was
in heparty the champion swimmer of
Colorado. 1t was a proud moment for
Mr.. Eddy, but perhaps not prouder than
that in which, attired in his yellow bath
ing-suit, he issued from the bath-house
and walked majestically down the peb-
bly, beach toward the raging surf With
wild snort, Mr.. Eddy plunged into the
seething pillows, and at once COM
menced series of antics and pranks
that were absolutely bewildering. He
was Just about TO execute that acrobatic
aria whereby his. head and his heels
would change places, when he felt
something sharp and Shiny and cold
seize him by his left big toe and begin
pulling him out into deeper water. Mr..
ing off his unknown assailant, but the
biting and pulling continued-in fact,
the unknown assailant refused to be
shaken off. The awful truth then
flashed upon Mr.. Eddy that he had been
attacked by an octopus. The octopus
is the most ravenous and cruel of nat
ural monsters. 1t coils about its prey,
crushes his bones, sucks the juices from
the mangled mass of pulp, and finally
leaves the dry and quivering corpse in
purple shreds for the fishes TO nibble at
and the tides to toss hither and thither
until no remnant remains. All this
horrifying truth passed through Mr..
Eddy's mind with the velocity of an
electric current. Mr.. Eddy is strong
man, and when we say he struggled
iiercely to regain the surface of the sea,
we would have the reader duly i'm
pressed with the magnitude OF that
struggle. The octopus pulled hard, but
with Mr.. Eddy it was a case of life and
death, and it was entirely to Mr.. Eddy's
credit that he pulled u trife harder than
the octopus.
While thus battling Mr.. Eddy was
again drawn under the water and he
| then thought his last hour had come.
His past life passed like n momentary
panorama before his mind, but there
was nothing in ii to occasion him re-
morse. Should he suffer himself to be
carried off and devoured by dirty,
soulless octopus, an inappreciative,
plebian cuttlefishp No, he would die
rather than be slain by such an ignoble
reptile! Yet he felt he was growing
weaker and weaker, an awful chilliness
swept up and down his veins and his
brain seemed to reel He made another
heroic attempt to rise to the surface.
The octopus clung to him like grim
DEATH. a 81
"Help! help! help!" shrieked Mr..
Eddy once more, and then he lapsed
into unconsciousness.
Mr.. Eddy was lying in life-beat
when he came to his senses, and
strong menwere chatting his benumbed
limbs and pouring brandy down his
throat. Mss asT G
"Thank heaven, ! am saved!" he
murmured. ''But where is the oc,
