A Queer Assortment.

A well-dressed man was locked up in
the station-house for safe keeping the
other day, the general aspect of whose
figure betokened a too free inhibition
of fiery Jersey lightning. He repre-
sented himself as a commercial traveller,
and gave as his home, New Bedford,
CT. 'Shay," he said, ''am [hic-in
New Bedford-hic-or in Detroit?" 1t
was some time before he could be made
to understand the fact that he was in
Rochester. When he was searched at
the station the strangest assortment OF
articles ever found upon a man was
taken from his pockets. He had tickets
from Boston to various points in Massa-
chusetts, and one from Rochester to
East Saginaw, Mich. He had in his
pockets five knives, all in a state of gen.
eral dilapidation. A dozen cigars and
a package of tobacco were next taken
out. Then followed in quick succession
a box of universal pomade," a bottle
of whiskey, two cooked veal outlets,
several raw lamb chops, three punches
of celery, several behring's, a pound Of
nails and a copy of Oscar Wilde's poems
Each pocket seemed inexhaustible, and
each article brought out seemed stranger
than all preceding ones, and the ar
ray which was finally piled upon the
table was indeed a curious To pu-

A Tough One.

The Chico Record perpetrates the fol-
lowing: One of the most novel teams
on record is owned by a boy in Tehama.
The young fellows flyers are nothing
more nor less than two large surgeons
which were caught by his father in the
Sacramento River. The boys family
name is Frank Cooper. He has fasten-
ed the end of a strong rope to the tail
of each fish, and the other end is fasten-
ed to the bow of an e~ighteen-foot boat.
Two cords, fastened in some manner to
the heads of the fish, serve as reins, and
the owner of the team guides his fishy
chargers up or down the stream at will.
The other day he took a spin up the
river to Red Bluff, accompanied by some
other boys, and at that place the curious
outfit attracted mitch attention. Young
Cooper contemplates a journeyto Chico,
and if the trip thus far is successful he
will lay in a stock of supplies and con-
tinue his meanderings to Sacramento.

A POrcine Casus Belli.

1t has frequently been asserted that
a pig brought on the wal of 1912
between the United States and Great
Britain. Just how the matter was man.
aged a Boston antiquarian has found
out. In the town of Cranston, R. l., a
pig broke into a gentleman's garden
and created so much havoc that a suit
for damages followed. James Burrill
was opposed to declaring war, and was
a candidate for the United States Senate.
When a vote was taken in the State
Legislature for Senator, N of Burrill's
friends was absent, having been COM
PEELED to attend the lawsuit about the
pig, and tie vote resulted. The Speak
r,with his casting vote, beat Burrill,
and elected j. B. Howell in his stead.
The declaration of war was carried in
the United States Senate by a majority
of one, and Howell voted for it. The
pig that got up all this trouble was
probably sold to IN army contractor
and finally devoured by the hungry
defenders of u country.-Detrot Post.

carry off, a proceeding Which, Dis there
was no foe in sight, rather puzzled
him, till he found they were
fleeing from the ants. When these ants
