You. who are skilled In hunting fowls.
Know Won how they capture ow1sl
No2 Then wait bit and see
How 'tis done In Missouri.
Well. they start out for the woods.
Hayi1g no explosive goods,
Nothing OF the kind. you know,
Nothing but the Plan below.
Now they spy one on tree,
Very wise owl looks e. be; q
When they see he starts With fear
Round his tree their course they steer.
AMI the owl leers, as Is right.
To keep the hunter IN his sight;
Onward still the hunter bound
The owl his head twists round and roundl
Well. the consequence ono knows
80, at least, the DRY goes
Keeping the owl upon the firing
Till LIS head quite oil they wringl

Hurrah Grass.

Several years ago, before the war, an
Arkansas Congressman introduced to
his agricultural constituents new kind
Of grass, which he declared would form
sod enough to kill all the weeds and
other growths of worthless nature The
Arka',sato Traveller says: The seed was
sown quite extensively in the southern
part of the State, and The farmers were
much gratifed to see that very thick
sod was at once formed. Next year,
however, the grass began to take root
In additional fields until il was found to
be impossible to keep it down. The
grass was soon discovered to be worth
less for hay, and was in fact, only good
for choking out all kinds of weeds,
corn and cotton. This disastrous
growth gained the name of "hurrah
grass" and is so known "even to this
day." 1t is said that large plantations
have been abandoned on that account.

Haven't told you forty times that

"But, pa, L didn't hear anything
about the cabbage, smelled it with my

LEFT HER LAWYER.
Louise Montague, Who once
sued In Louisville for Damage
10 Her Leg, Turns Up In Phila-
delPhiG,
Conrier-Jnnrnnl s.

The tart Louise Montague turns Ut
Ia Philadelphia in asuit against Adam
Forepaugh for salary due her for riding
the circus elephant around the oOuntry
in the role Of Lallah Roekh, This
recalls a talk the Princess Louise had
with q Courier journal man more than
a year ago, in which she pronounced
Adam the greatest old brute and
BLACKBOARD she had ever known, and
she saucily said that she had slapped
his jaws good for some Of his mean
ness. She said further that Adam
was a great tyrant among his employees
and showed them no mercy, and that
they dreaded him like a roaring lion
This recalls more of her history.
She was in a railroad disaster at Bow
ling Green, in this State, when two
men were killed at her feet and the
calf of her leg wal pierced by a spin.
ter. She brought suit against the i.
and N. railroad through her lawyer,
Colonel II. w. Woolley, for $4,000
damages. She left this city for the
East, telling her attorney she would
be back In time for trial. Her lawyer
went ahead with the case, taking
testimony at a distance, aud bis heart
touched with sympathy for the tender
but symmetrical limbs.
When the case was called 10 court,
the fair, but tickle, Venus failed TO
materialize, and a railroad attorney
announced that the case had been
compromised. Her sorrows had been
soothed aud settled with $500. Her
attorney was not appraised Of the com.
promise, nor ever received a cent for
his work in her case.
Now she is in the court room again.
She has a fine figure and is altogether
lovely to look at, hut as fierce as a
leopardess when aroused. She made
her first appearance in Louisville at
the Knickerbocker Theater as a
variety actress. She was extensively
known as the Ten Thousand. dollar
Beauty"

the performance at MOBILES bright and
witty sayings. Interviews" the
name Of the play given, was written
by Mr.. Mobiles in person, and it Lad
its first representation last September,
at St. Louis. 1t is a brilliant produc-

action. In the language Of another,
it may be said that "the character is
played by Mr.. Mobiles with that per.
feet east aud Winning grace that long
since placed him in the front rank Of
natural actors. Mobiles is a humorist,
and his humOr is infectious. He has
a wonderful personal magnetism, and

MARRIAGE (Oontinued)- Marriage
is more generally the result Of circum-
stances, principally Of association,
than Of unbiased judgment. Though
it would require all the gifts Of q
prophet Of old to foretell the whole
character Of the wife in that Of the
girl, yet there are three Questionable
qualities above all others in a woman
that a man whose five senses are fully
developed will use every effort to
ascertain the truth or ialsity Of their
existence before he surrenders himself
to the influence Of the blind god. While
wondering what these three objection
able qualities are, get a cigar at Sol

-Four members Of a we'll known
club in this city sat down to a eame Of
poker on Thursday evening. There
was q dollar limit, and there was no
desire on the part Of anyof the players
TO win much money. After one deal
three of them drew one card eacl.
except the dealer, who passed out.
The mar on the left Of the age bet one
dollar, the SECOND man raised him one
dollar and the age raised the pot an
other dollar. This was followed BY
raises to the limit all around a second
time, when the man who made the
first bet said: Gentleman, | ought
TO raise the bet, but this is a social
game and III not crowd you; | will
simply call" Without waiting for
the others to bet he laid face upward
on the table the deuce, tray, four and
Eve Of spades. The 9th card he
placed back uppermost. The SECOND
man said: II feel the same about this
matter; | will simply call" He then
showed the dppoe, tray, four and Eve
Of diamonds, hiding the 9th card.
II also cell, said the age, and hg dis
played the deuce, tray, four and five
Of clubs. The 9th card OF each was
then shown, and II was seer that each
had a straight flush Of the same value.
The potiwas divided. IL was a square
