AUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
Leading a Calf.

About s o'clock yesterday morning a
woman appeared on Michigan avenue in
company with calf. In this case the calf
was veritable animal, and was being led
with rope. Whether she had taken it
from the pound or was On her way to the
market she didn't explain. She hadn't
time to after she got down as far as Fifth
street. The two had the middle of the
street and were rather enjoying the prone
made, when the calf suddenly concluded
that city life was too rich for his blood. He
suddenly halted in his tracks and braced
his fore feet at sharp angle. The woman
kept on her way for minute, and when
the strain came she heightened that Calls
neck by six inches. 1t was no 60, however.
She braced and he braced. She pulled and
he pulled. By and by be began to back
and gain on her. Her feet slid along for a
yard or two, when she sat down and got
her foot against the street-car rail- 1t was
now time for spectators to tender their
sympathies and advice, and remarks began
to come in.
"Hold to him, old woman-you've got
the bulge!'
sShut your eyes and you'll fetch him.
ssFish on your line-7pull him IMP
Along came grocery wagon, and the
| hub of a wheel rubbed ithe calf. lie
jumped clear off the ground and took a
half circle around the woman, pulling ber
over on her side. No one offered any as
sistance, and when the coming car forced
her to take a new position she scrambled
up and got neck-hold on the calf. He at
I'll st broke down and began to bawl, but
suddenly took heart and made run FOR the
sidewalk, dragging her along. The crowd
down, call for the police. She was silent
and grim. She got a firm hold of his neck
with both hands and pulled BIN back into
the street in spite of his bueking. To the
casual observer, he was gone calf, but as
she stopped to tie her shoe boy stack a
pin into him and he sailed right over her
and brought such a strain to bear on the
rope as to fling her down again. 1t was
now question whether she would pull his
neck off or he would draw her across the
street, but, when the strain continued for
fifteen seconds, the rope broke and the
calf went off like deer. A policeman,
who had arrived too late to be of any as.
sistance, thought to offer some consolation,
but the woman made pass at his nose
with one Of her dirt besmeared hands and
snapped out:
! s"Shet up! If there'd been decent man
in the hull crowd he'd have twisted that
calf's tail for a poor lone widow without
any asking!" Free Press.

OLD SHOES.

How much man is like old shoes!
For Instance: both a soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are made tigh
By cobblers; both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete,
And both are made to get on feet;
They both need heeling, oft get sold,
And both in time all turn to mold.
With shoes Its last is first; with man
The first last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they're men-desd too
They both are trod upon and both
Will tread on Others no hing loath.
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out-and would you choose
To be 4 man or be his shoes.

What terrible aflliction about the house
is cross, crying baby! A young man on
the very edge Of matrimony might easily
be frightened FROM his purpose by having
too much of that sort of music at the homes
of his married friends. Yet babies cry COM
monly only when they are sick. One tea
spoonful OF Parker's Tonic, given the little
one, will bring rest and sleep to the baby
and all in the house. Only so cents, at

MONTAGUE, Oct. TO- Special. The
most profound sensation ever created in
this quiet town was the arrest of the
Clark brothers, VIII and Frank, Satur-
day morning, charged with having set
fire to the Montague county courthouse,
which was burned on the 3Oth of last
March, destroying large portion of tho
records and court papers. At the time
of course it created wild excitement.
but no suspicion was lodged against
anyone around town. For some months,
however, designing parties have in
dulged in wild speculation as to the
guilty ones, which resulted in the
sudden arrest of the parties referred
to. The prisoners were brought before
his honor, Pat Tompkins, county Judge.
who set their bonds at $500 each for
their appearance to-day for preliminary
steps in the matter. The BOYS gave
bond at once and returned to their bust
ness.
There are thirteen persons i'm the
county Jail, all accused of theft.
District court conyenes the last Mon.
