one wheel of his machine into a wood

The woodchuck is an industrious little

that there is any sure way of getting md

what would have been several bushels of

occasionally his first cousin, the skunk, is
found in the trap. the only thing to be
done is to get him out with the aid of
pair of tongs, and to at once bury the trap

Thus the veteran politician, Ben Perley

uncovered by the cutter bar. Stick to

for the joint debate, but they want to see
If the other fellows will make the dare.
The chairman and secretaries are very en-
phatic that they know nothing about any
such negotiations. Capt. Alex Cope went
over from the Republican headquarters to-
day on some sort of q truce to the Demo-
cratic managers. At both places they
are busiIy engaged. 1t is known that last
night there was letter drafted in which
Judge Foraker invited JudgeiHoadley to
meet him at Portsmouth August IA, to
open up series of joint debates, but this
has not as yet been passed. Judge Hoad-
ley is said to have heard quite enough of
this challenge business and has written to
one in authority here giving the date
for which he has no engagements
and authorizing him to arrange for the
meeting at any time if the state commit
tee saw fit. 1t is suggested that Hoadley
and Foraker should be allowed to continue
attending their respective county and
other conceptions, and after there Sare all
over then come together in the heat of the
