THE DELIGHTFUL HOME OF ONE HUNDRED An
TwENTY-SEyEN TONS AND Tables.
TFrom the New Haven REGISTER

TIE DELIGHTFUL HOME OF ONE HUNDRED AMI
TwENTY-sEvEN TONS AND Tables.
IFrom the New Haven Regislcrl
Down IN deep green valley that is
fringed with elmS and gnarled apple-trees
and is fragrant with its wealth OF wild
flowers peeping forth from under grove
Of old pOplars at the foot OF steep rocky
hill. over which the highway above North
Braniord writhes like IN uneasy serpent,
is the home OF Damask Rose. IL was the
home OF her father and OF her father,
father. and it has weathered the scorch'
ing blasts and icy winds OF one hun
drcd and forty tough New England
years. DamaSk does not live in it now,
but i'm little trim white cot which look,
aSkauce at the passcr from behind a wing
Of the old Rose residence. Her fathers
family was once the largest and most social
IN the roundabout country, and the Rose
mansion was then much reSortcd to by the
Young bellies and beauX. And now all are
gone. All are dead save Dalnask. Damask
and her eats alone remain. \ New Haven
gentleman told the reporter that this lonely
old woman with the blush-roSe name bad
one hundred and twcnty.seyen eats.
4 notwithstanding old lady is Damask.
wrinkled and not far from seventy years,
pair OF bright eyes cleaned through her
gold brows from under the dirty brown
felt rim OF the mans hat upon her head.
In one hand she carried u bright ease
knife, while with the other she raised her
calico skirt as she moved through the nod
ding clover with which the old front-yard
was filed. A pair OF diamonds gilt
tered in her ears. and thick, grayish
growth OF silken hair partially obscured her
upper lip and chin. There was a black cat,
with bronze sides. at her heels, Maltese
cat, with a white breast, lay dreaming on a
fat stone in front OF her, a gray-and-
spotted leopard-likc eat looked out from its
nest OF straw in the entry OF the old
house; there was q handsome young
prince OF felines, in luxurious robe OF
tawny gold. suspiciously regarding the
visitor from behind the leopard, and
around the corner OF the house was APP
preaching a large and ugly-lOoking tiger
cat, whose appearance left no room for
doubt as to his capabilities rs a fighter.
These were all the cats seen at the first
look.
When the reporter began to talk about
the cats Miss Rose eyed him suspiciOuSly,
but upon other subjects her conversation
was CHEEKY and entertaining. Very soon
the advance guard OF cats vanished into the
green vines about the little valley and the
places had been taken by other catS-uoly
cats and Withholding cats. some fat, some
lean, and some OF nondescript appearance,
but none OF them very pretty. 1t was a
queer sight.

b Patient, Darling.


The Bismarck Tribune is responsible
for the following:-As the ticket agent
at Mandan stood at his post yesterday
afternoon sampling the various kinds
of breath that came through at him
through the small window, most beau,
tiful lady came up and asked him for a
ticket to Bismarck. He stamped it and
laid it down, and the lady fumbled in
her purse for the change. All at once
she exclaimed in a petulant voicel
Darling, can't You be PATIENT What
does my pet wani?" The agent turned
so red that his ears fairly blazed, and
stammered out: MADAM, I-I-I-I
assure you that-that there is no hurry
at all. Take your, (ahem) take your
time, Madam" With look that froze
the blood in his veins and made him
feel rs though icicles were hanging all
over his body, she replied: "Sir-r-r-r!
l was speaking to my little girl" and
peeping through the ticket window, he
saw wee bit of 4 chcrub Juggling at
the lady's dress. When she had gone
he sank down on chair rs pale as q
corpse and told conductor Richards
that if his family were better provided
for he didn't think he'd care to live an
hour longer.

70 The Bismark, OAK, Herald,
an independent paper, speaking of the
Ohio election, s:--"It cannot be
charged this year that the Germans
are responsible for this defeat. In the
bitterest fight against their beer ever
known in this State they stood by the
Republican ticket, while the people in
the county districts gave it away. The
result in Ohio does not mean alcohol.
1t means 1884 and Democratic presi-
dent. The country is ready for the
change. The democracy in New York
are united, which means n sweeping
victory for the party this year and
next. 1t will be in order now for Re.
publican office holders to trim their
sails to catch the Democratic tidal
wave of 1884, The Republicans must
go. The Republican victory in Iowa
was expected, although the towering
majorities of former years have been
reduced over a half. The issues that
called the Republican party into power
have ceased to exist. The Republican
party at present is held together by
love of office and party spoils. The
people want a change and they will
get it 1884"

Wanted Information,


Every little while we stumble upon
the sign Information wanted" and
other indications of the same sort, show
ing that the great throbbing, anxious
world is in need of information. 1t
seems strange at first that with all our
boosted advancement we still must adj
nit this frightful lack of information.
But we have found where it goes to,
and thus portion of the mighty prob
lem Is solved.
A boy we met on an overland train
the other day, is the party who has ap-
sorbod it all. He is the guilty one, and
he is to blame for the dcarth hereinbe-
fore mentioned He was an animated
interrogation point, dressed up. We
must confess that We never saw anyone
hunger and thirst after warm fried in
formation, or cold sliced facts rs that
boy did. He wasn't large boy and he
didn't look healthy and hungry as most
boys do but he turned his great, soul
full eyes upon us and squeezed knowl-
edge out of us that we hadn't used for
years. We took down from Il shelf in
memory's hall all sorts of moth eaten
statistics and unique stories and things
until we had been pumped dry and then
went to work on q job lot of impromptu
facts and home made statements and
domestic lies, so that he wouldn't starye
right there and then.
Oh, what great octagonal yearning
he had for all that we knew and more
too. What fine, manly way he had
of coming at it and exhausting our in
formation and then looking hungrily at
us and waiting until we could hunt up
some more.
What wild, Unsuitable mind that
youth had. What capacious tape
worm he was sole proprietor of-and
what good care he took that the animal
received its full quota of nourishment.
We tried going into some other car, but
he never failed to follow, and finally we
were compelled to get off the train ut
Red Buttes. That walk of eight miles
we believe saved our life.
Now, whenever we see the words
Information Wanted" we think Of
that guileless youth, and wonder who
he is sinking a shaft on. We live over
once more that dread day and our
heart goes out to the unfortunate com.
panion of that boy in a great wad Of
sympathy and commiseration, so to
speak. Nye'S boomerang.
