Women and Umbrellas.

Long-continuel observation has con-
vinced the Boston Globe that the wei
fare of society demands immediate
consideration OF whether women should
be allowed to carry umbrellas. 1t may
be urged in defense of continuing tho
privilege that to refuse it would be in
violation OF the inalienable right OF the
pursuit of happiness. But if a woman
gets any happiness out OF knocking off
peoples hats and gouging out their
eyes, to say nothing Of tangljng up the
points Of the umbrella ribs in the hair
of other women, she ought to be in
duced either by moral suasion or legal
colnpulsion to pursue happiness ia
some other way. It is . we'll recog-a
nized principle that the rights Of one
person end where those OF another be-
gin, and since woman appears to be
unable to keep her UNI mbrella out Of the
corporate limits Of other people it is
quite evident that she should be limited
in the exercise OF her right to carry UNI
bralias to the desert of Sahara, the al
kali plains and the Russian steppos. II
a woman We're capable OF being edu-
Gated in the proper carrying of UNI
brellas there would be some hope that
with the process Of education and de-
vclopMent she might learn to WELD her
present death dealing instrument above
the dangcr-line. But it is q physical
impossibility. She is born that way.
She can no more carry an umbrella Us
it ought to DC carried than she can
throw stone without those indiscriba-
bic gvratiocs, or caich Il ball when she
doesn't wear an apron. 1t is too true,
but she must acc pit The consequences,
just as she must accepo the consequent
ces of not being able 10 throw straight
the inevitable consequence of never hit
ting anything. This being true, ana
moral suasion having failed to bring
about the desired end, nothing remains
but to protect the hats, eyes and hair
Of the community by legal means.
And it will belseen at onco that this is
q fit subject for. constitutional prohibi-
tion. The aim is to secure u large por-
ton Of the community in the possess
ion OF their inalienablo rights Of wear
ing their hats on the tops Of their.
heads and keeping their naturala eyes.

\ Pair Of Worthless,

On the norning of Thursday, the 2Sth
uito., two Germans, representing themselves
as agents of a large ,iewelry house, but be-
Jag really pedlarS of pinch back iewclry,
arrived here by the early Grain and hired of
Mir. Ed. Taylor, liveryman, a horse and
buggy apiece III which to visit ncighboring
towns oil of the line of the railroad. Mr..
layI"r. SGIppoSing them 10 be all right, lei
the teams 90 without demanding any secur-
ity. Thursday and Friday passed, and
they did not return, and the owner of the
teams hegan Ia get uneasy ard had about
OF them. On Saturday he received letter
from Philadelphia, signed +. ID. IIaves,
cody informing him that his teams were at
stanton, Delaware, and he might send for
them, as they We're through with them. Mr..
Tai lor despatched Il man to Stanton at once
where the teams We're found in Il hotel sta
bic, with a bill of several dollars araius,
them for board. lie lost the hire of the
teams the expense of sending for them, and
the board Hill altogether twenty or rwcu-
tN-iive dollars. 1t is probable that these
WORTHLESS carry on this kind of game all
over the country.
Mr.. Taylor, who is at the railroad station
at almost every train, should keep lookout
for these chaps, it being likely that they
frequently pass through, and if he even
gets his eye on them, should grab onto
them.

y Bee Hunt and What Cameof

About ten days ago a young man, giving
the name OF Code and mailing from Will
mln@ton, Il printer, tramped along this way
and secured employ ment as a compositor
at the Wig office
On last Monday evening party of Young
men induced Code to accompany them on a
honey hunt" a trick that has been PLAYED
upon scores OF persons here. The game is
to take the victim out to some lonely spot
and fix on Il tree, telling bin that it is full
OF honey but that the owner of the place is
savage old fellow who would shoot any
one he found trying to secure it. The axe
Is brought out and as soon as choppin2 be-
gins the report of gun sounds like Il can:
non on the still air and the chopper with a
cry of ieigned agony drops to the ground
then second Shot follows and another
falls, and by this time the victim is either
so badly scared that he too, falls, or he is
bounding Ikea deer across the fields through
water and mud and among briers and this
! ties
In this case the latter took place on the
first shot. When his co:npanion fell in all
| the seeming agonieS of a frghtful death,
Code begged for mercy and asked the shooter
for God 5 sake to let him explain" and as
| the shooting kept mp he struck ont for big
timber, running like an antelope He laid
down i'll the bushes a quarter of Il mile or
| so away, and after an hour or so had
elapsed, everything being quiet he crept
back TO town. Soon otter he got back some
one let him know that he had been the vic
tim of Il hoax. This enraged him terribly
and he vowed vcngencc on all concerned
One of the party was brother printer

| this young man was in bed and asleep.
| Code went to his room, lit the gas, and
waded into the sleeper. He pummeled his
| head until his eyes were black and his nose
| peeled, and it was all done so quickly that
it was finished by the time he was thor
oEghly awake.
On Wednesday Code, unable to bear the
jokes and iibes of the young men about
town, put ont for other parts, and he is

A Large Yield of Wheat.

DE-. G.. w. Davis, of Pleasantville, has,
perhaps, the largest yield of wheat grown
i'll Hartford county this year. From 81
acres he had 151 bushels, machine meas
uremcnt. i693 struck measurement, and
- bushels by weight. The yield, there
fore. was within fraction of 81 bushels
to the acre. The variety was the Wash
ington Glass. 1t is smooth wheat, with
large, white and plump grains. DR..
Davis first obtained two quarts of the
seed from the Patent Office, at Washing
ton, six years ago, and the yield has al
ways been very large. l. may therefore
be regarded as acclimated in Hartford
county. 1t yields the best flour. 1t was
sowcd on good land at the rate of / 7
bushels to the acre, during the last week
in September, 1888, and was treated in
the usual manner, without an excessive
application of fertilizers.-Belair1 Egis.
