paT A good story is told of certain prom
inent railway director, who is equally re-
nowned for his ability to take or make a
joke. A railway employee, whose home
is in the country, applied to him for pass
to visit his family. "You are in the en-
ploy of the company?" inquired the gen.
tleman alluded to. Eyes" "You receive
your pay regularly ?" eyes" "Well, now,
suppose you were working for farmer,
instead of the company, would you expect
your employer to take out his horse every
Saturday night and carry you home" This
seemed poser, but it wasn't. NO." said
the man promptly. II would not expect
that; but if the farmer had his horses out
and was going my way, should call him
a very mean fellow if he would not let me
ride" The employee came out three min
utes after with a pass good for twelve
months

Nor GOING TO BE A DUDE.-A young
lady, q Sunday-school teacher in church
near the corner of Gilmore street and La
fayette avenue, was, on Sunday, defining
faith to her class of young Americans, aged
from to 10 years. She set about her task
she said, ''is to believe that something ex-
listed which could not be seen. Suppose" !"
she said, "your papa should tell you he had
put ten dollars in the bank for you, and that
you might draw it from the bank when you
grew older. You did not see the money put
in, but you know it is there because you be-
lieve what your papa tells you, and when
you grow up and want the money, you
dress yourself, with your gloves on, and
your high hat, and your cane, and you,
At this juncture the teacher was startled
by one of the boys, who cried out:
"What are you giving us? Do you think
Pm a dude ?"
The young lady says she felt Frustrated,
and that it will be sometime before she stirs
up the question of faith again.-BaHimore

The fool-hardiness of the Republi-
cans, in their endeavors to suck the
prohibition teat, and at the same time
draw supporting milk from the liquor
interests is, forcibly exemplified in a
laughable, yet true story told concern
ing the Immortal J. n. He was once
on his endless journey and occupied
during it's course, a single seat, when
suddenly an inspiration struck him,
the veil was almost lifted and in hap
py moment he ruthlessly thrust his
cane through one of the windows. The
conductor in passing through the car
noticed it and requested of J. N. that
he bring forth one dollar with which to
replace the glass. No sooner said than
done; but instead of a single dollar J.
N. gave him two. The conductor sur
prised at this supreme burst Of mag
nanimity on the part of the Immortal,
speedily rendered him his change. J.
N. told him to keep it and then ran his
alpen-stock through another pane.
This is the republican situation. They
want to and are paying for all they get
and when the state election comes they
will find they get nothing.-LinsdD Dem.

VAMPIRES OF THE SEA.
Galveston HarbOr Visited bv a School
of Devil-Fish.

GALVESTON, Aug. 1.-The appear
ance of a school of immense devil fish,
never before seen in these waters, the
past two weeks. has had the effect OF
nerving the community to make an eff
fort toward their capture, or at least to
driving the monsters back into deep
water. The bold approach of the fish
to shore, coming directly up to both
piers, prevented timid bathers from en-
joying the everyday luxuries of the
surf, while the more courageous ones
hesitated risking contest with the un-
known creatures. They were met by a
crew of old whalers, and one of the
smallest was successfully harpooned.
The fish headed for sea at terrific rate
Of speed, carrying the boat and crew
with it, until finally they cast off, the
crew having only 12 fathoms of line
and fearing the fish, on going to the
bottom, would drag them under.
Thursday evening party of Italian
fisherman discovered a fish in shOal
water between the bars, adjusted a
strong net, and drove him into the
meshes. After tremendous struggling,
with every movement entangling him
self the more, the fish finally exhausted
itself, admitting of the approach of its
captors. After that it was short work,
harpoons, spears and bullets being used.
The fish was then towed up to the
plaza and put on exhibition. These
sea fish are remarkably rare. In ap-
pearance they resemble q gigantic vam-
pire bat. The devil fish captured is Is

License.
[Butler County Democrat


The platform of the Ohio Democracy
should declare unequivocally in favor of
a license law regulating the liquor traf-
fic. It is the only just way in which the
question can be handled. Prohibition,
whenever tried, has proved failure.
The principles embodied in the Scott
law are unconstitutional, so that nothing
is left but to leave the traffic unlimited
or to regulate it in this manner. To be
sure, the matter must first be submitted
in the form of an amendment to the
Constitution, which the Democrats had
not the number ofvotes sufficient to do
in the last General Assembly, but this
year there will be greater number of
Democrats in the House, and the
amendment can then be brought for
ward. ,.....-

A YOUNG gentleman while walking
In Mr.. Ramer's woods about mile
from town, picked up stick lying in
his pathway and used it for cane. He
noticed particularly that the cane was
unnaturally smooth and had head on
1t about the size OF his fist. He took
the stick home and set it in . corner
near the cooking stove. In about an
hour. hearing scream, he rushed into
the kitchen and found the cane was q
large copperhead snake, which he i'm
mediately killed. The surmise is that
the snake had stuck his head in q hor-
nets nest last winter, and frozen stiff
while in that position. The warm fire
resuscitated the reptile, and the young
gentleman will hereafter be very careful
how he picks up sticks in the wood.

One ball passed through Mr.. Gerhardt's

the ground. He lay insensible for some
time, and when he recovered was so
dazed, that he could scarcely find the
way to his room. Had the ball been one
inch closer, he would have been killed,
and instead of the happy time enjoyed
by his parents and friends at his gradu
